Ramfins59 Posted December 13, 2014 Posted December 13, 2014 My younger daughter, who is 31, came home from Louisiana last night where she has been working at a Renaissance Fair for the past 2 months. Jamie has always "marched to the beat of a different drum, and when she said that she wanted to travel around the country to work at these Fairs, I equated it with wanting to run away to join the Circus. One of the stories that she was telling us was how Gnomes are popular "characters" at these Fairs. She bought herself a pair of rubber gnome's ears and a pointed hat that she modeled for us. I thought it looked cute, but I also wondered how I would look wearing them...... Soooooooooooooooo................. Prepare for a good laugh.............. I've been letting my white beard grow since the beginning of Fall because my older daughter wants me to wear a Santa suit for my 3 1/2 year old grandson for Christmas. I think that the beard fits the "Gnome look" perfectly. I look like one of those garden gnome statues that you'd put in your garden...!!! So.......... Do you think I should make this my new Avatar picture...???
lysleder Posted December 13, 2014 Posted December 13, 2014 I vote yes. It would be a vast improvement over your current one.
Sixx Posted December 13, 2014 Posted December 13, 2014 Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!!!!!!!!! Heck yeah Rich....then you'd need the red shirt so you could stand in the yard all day!!! Thanks for the laugh my friend !!!! :-)
jeffs396 Posted December 13, 2014 Posted December 13, 2014 Funny! Sure Rich, change it for the 'season'...you can always change it back to your famous old one, or one of your old Dodge, or...
slusher Posted December 13, 2014 Posted December 13, 2014 Rich you look cool with that hat on. I say yes, but I change mine all the time... Your going to rock the santa suit with the beard...
Ramfins59 Posted December 13, 2014 Author Posted December 13, 2014 Looks like everyone is in agreement on this. Glad you all like "the look" and had a good laugh.
unclescott58 Posted December 13, 2014 Posted December 13, 2014 I too like it. Life is boring without a little silliness from time to time. Scott
thatz4u Posted December 13, 2014 Posted December 13, 2014 Your daughter discovered that there's no place like Gnome!!!!LOL , sorry Rich, I just had to get it out of my system....
High octane Posted December 13, 2014 Posted December 13, 2014 Looks much better than the last one Rich.
Ramfins59 Posted December 13, 2014 Author Posted December 13, 2014 Thanks guys. I know a lot of you were tired of looking at my tongue sticking out.
Foxer Posted December 13, 2014 Posted December 13, 2014 ahhaha ... I commented on your new avatar in your '58 Merc thread before seeing this .. said you looked like a proper Scottish Gentelman .. don't know your heritage, but a Gnome!
cobraman Posted December 13, 2014 Posted December 13, 2014 Thanks guys. I know a lot of you were tired of looking at my tongue sticking out. That was your tongue sticking out ? I thought you were eating a pickle !
Ramfins59 Posted December 13, 2014 Author Posted December 13, 2014 LOL... Thanks guys. Mike, my ancestors were Polish on my Mom's side and Swedish on the Dad's side. Ray, you thought it was a pickle and others thought it was a sausage... LOL.
rmvw guy Posted December 14, 2014 Posted December 14, 2014 (edited) Looks like Si Robertson on a lucid day. I thought it WAS Uncle Si until I saw the larger photo. The one with your tongue sticking out I thought was a cigar. Guess I need some better glasses. Edited December 14, 2014 by rmvw guy
BirdWatcher Posted December 15, 2014 Posted December 15, 2014 I can picture a hipster asking you if your lid is "vintage" now. "Nope, Renaissance Fair". Awesome!
