Need a Gnome
Um, so yeah. I need a lawn gnome fairly quickly-- like this weekend and I don't want to order it online if I don't have to.
Any ideas of where I might find one in NYC? I've already been to Urban Outfitters (they had one, but he was squatting on a toilet-- not good), various 99 cent stores, and a few front yards in Carroll Gardens with no luck.
Please let me know. This is very important.

We had one on our lawn...but someone stole it. You gotta try a garden center...someplace that sells plants and shrubs and fertilizer and stuff. You might even have to trek out to LI to get one....

Your stolen gnome reminds me of our high school scavenger hunts (cynthia, were you ever involved in those?). I think that we stole a gnome once. I should have kept it. Then I wouldn't be in this situation.

They used to have them at the hardware store next to the 2nd Ave. Cafe.
Whatever that Hardware Store is called on Flatbush that has the Oracle would be the second place I'd look.

You definitely need to go to George's Statuary in Rocky Point for that! Of course, there are millions of places just like it...there must be something similar in Brooklyn or Queens as so many people have those types of things on their lawns.

I can not support this unnaturual desire for tacky lawn ware. What's next? Plastic flamingos? how about ceramic toads for a rock garden? I mean seriously...

First off, it's not unnatural-- we grew up in the land of tack-- Lawn Guyland. It's innate! :P
Secondly, it's mean to be tacky-- something for our office as a joke.
