I sent one of these to my little sister. One of her cats knocked it off the shelf and broke the gnome’s legs off.
I kept one gnome for myself. My housemate’s five year old took my gnome, held him by his feet, and used him as a jackhammer on the wood laminate floor. I yelled “NO!”. My gnome and the floor survived with zero apparent damage to either. And I got to teach the five year old about the delicateness of paper mache while he looked at me funny because he’s not used to me yelling.
Meh, I bought one a few cycles back with the intention of leaving it outside and scaring the crap out of the ups guy. However, the motion sensor on it is way too sensitive and triggers with something as slight as a gentle breeze rustling the bushes ever so little 10 feet away. It resulted in a stupid gnome on my porch that would shout at nothing randomly throughout the day.
It resides indoors now, and is occasionally relocated and turned on briefly to catch the dogs and my fiancee off guard. Did I mention she hates the damn thing?
I think some people forget these Gnomes were around way before they were used by Travelocity. Got one last time, you just have to watch what they eat, Gnome farts are unbelievable.
I know this sounds goofy but the Travelocity Gnome looks a lot like my wife’s 82 year old dad. She doesn’t get to see him as often as she’d like. In for one. Now she’ll see him everyday.

The Zombie Garden Gnomes are cheap crap plastic. You can make your own with these; it’s exactly what I did. Worth it.

I’m looking for the like button, +1, etc. That’s a great setup you created.
