It was a very common scene in poor black southern areas. Poor meaning money.

Googled under "Cultural significance of negroes sitting on a front porch". This should sum it all up for you Morte, it did for me!
Their Eyes Were Watching God
"These sitters had been tongueless, earless, eyeless conveniences all day long. Mule and other brutes had occupied their skins all day long, but now the sun and the bossman were gone. So the skins felt powerful and huge. They became lords of sound and lesser things. They possessed nations through their mouths. They sat in judgement, they made burning statements with questions and killing tools out of laughs. Words walking without masters, walk together in harmony."
Now then, if a gnome were ever lucky enough to show up at my front porch...

I sent the TTLGnome to Jered in like February from a location in the middle east.
He said he got it, so talk to the MS Geek. :laff:
I've got some pictures I posted. I'll have to see if I can dig them up again. I didn't get a whole lot of good ones, because we weren't allowed to take pictures over there. But I snuck some pics.
[edit]Here are (

Well, actually, they didn't get sued because they stole the garden gnome, but because beside sending that couple pics of the gnome in exotic places, they send a picture showing the two guys getting it from the gnome in tight places....
hihihihi:p

Yes I have all of the answers.
As of 3 October 2003 the original TTLG gnome was kidnapped and replaced with a fake.
He is now residing in <s>guacamol guadalup</s> gitmo bay Cuba awaiting trial.

As far as I know, jer still has it... I'd sent him my addy to mail it to me next, but as of yet, it hasn't arrived.

Im just wondering why taffer boy elvis wasnt fighting iraqies instead of taking pictures. I thought that was what they were supposed to do. Anyways, Im naive so I dont know the circumstances and now that I think about it he was stationed in a base in arabia so never mind.
