If you ask me, garden gnomes are creepy; their little concrete eyes follow you around as you walk through the yard. Deep down we all know that one foggy summer night they will finally come alive, creep into the house and eat all the Bagel Bites. If you are a Game of Thrones fan, and aren’t too creeped out by gnomes, you need this guy to protect your garden.
This Game of Gnomes garden gnome sits on the Iron Shovel throne looking a bit like Ned Stark, before he lost his head that is. Keep in mind that the throne isn’t actually made of iron – the whole thing is cast from polyresin. It stands 9″ tall x 6″ wide x 5″ deep and could be a nice little desk statue for your cubicle if you don’t have a garden.
I figured that since this is a gnome on a throne made of garden shovels, creating it would be fair use, but it is officially licensed Game of Thrones merchandise. You can get one at ThinkGeek for $19.99.
I’ve never hid the fact that I find garden gnomes creepy. The little buggers look like they are watching you every step you take. If you want to rid your garden of annoying gnomes, you need the Rampaging Kaiju Garden Gnome.
This little Godzilla will capture and eat all those creepy garden gnomes. The statue is made from resin and stands 9-inches tall and 6-inches wide with a depth of 7-inches counting the tail, which makes it just a tiny bit smaller than the one in the recent Godzilla flick.
If you want to add this beast to your garden you can get one now for $24.99(USD) at ThinkGeek. Garden gnomes be warned – your days are numbered.
If you ask me, lawn gnomes are weird and kind of creepy. They just seem like they are always up to no good. Like they are going to come to life when you aren’t looking. Do you really want that in your garden? I’d rather have the Doctor in my garden.
David Tennant specifically. Now that’s a lawn gnome. This awesome 10th Doctor garden guardian comes from Redforkhippie over at Craftster. If you can believe it, this thing began life as a tough looking biker gnome, with chaps and engineer boots. Now he has his timelord suit, converse and 3D glasses. Much better. There is no more suitable guardian for a rose – especially of the Tyler variety.
Garden gnomes are supposed to protect your garden. So what kind of gnome do you trust with the job? One of those happy gnomes you see everywhere or a gnome that knows how to play the Game of Gnomes? I trust the latter.
Your garden will be safe with Ned Bark guarding it. He is Lord of the North of Grassteros and sits on the Throne of a Thousand Shovels in King’s Lawnding. In the Game of Gnomes you grow or you die, there is no middle ground.
There will be blood. And dirt. This little guy is made of cement, hand casted, hand painted, and then sealed in outdoor weather sealer. He’s just $79.99(USD) from Chris and Jane’s Place. Spring is coming. Will you be ready?
I’ve never been a fan of garden gnomes, honestly they are little disconcerting. I always had the sense that they’re watching me and is waiting for nightfall when they’ll creep into the house and stuff Tic-Tacs up my nose until I suffocate. For some reason I don’t find these zombie garden gnomes nearly as creepy as the regular ones – go figure.
These would be perfect decorating your garden for Halloween. ThinkGeek has four different zombie garden gnome styles including the survivor, zombie, rising, and evil versions. Each individual zombie garden gnome is between nine and 11.4-inches tall and made from resin.
The only exception is the zombie version (the one with the blue outfit), which is actually made from terracotta.
I particularly like the survivor gnome because he has a machine gun and it says “Say hello to my little friend” underneath. The gnomes sell for $19.99(USD) each, or you can get the survivor and zombie version in a bundle for $29.99. We’ve seen some other zombie gnomes in the past, but ThinkGeek has machine guns (plus they’re cheaper.)
Zombies are all the rage these days, so it’s no wonder that the undead want to spend some more time out in the open. And what better way for your zombies to get out more but for them to watch over your garden?
GnomeZ is a new line of handmade and hand-painted resin zombie garden gnomes. The first in the series is Todd Grumble, a 10-inch-tall zombie definitely looks a little pissed off – probably because there are other zombie kids hanging and ripping apart the living on his front lawn.
You can get your hands on your very own Todd Grumble zombie garden gnome at GnomeZ for €69.00 (~$95 USD), and even comes with his own Brain Consumption Permit issued by the Federal Bureau of Zombification. As if you needed a permit to eat brains.
We've taken you through a tour of Window Managers in Linux, and now it's time to show you the Window Manager's bigger brother: the desktop environment, or DE for short. With a sea of choices out there, we can see where Linux newbies might feel a bit overwhelmed. Catch us after the break and we'll show you some of our favorites, along with a few honorable mentions.
The third update to the third version of Gnome may send numerologists to their calendars, but we're not that way inclined. Instead, the latest bump to the software adds a new Boxes application, a new notification system and an activities overview. It's also chucking in improved accessibility support in addition to the usual raft of tweaks and bug fixes you'd expect from an update like this. It'll be available from your own vendor (or distribution) soon, or you can pick up a live image from the official site straight away.
