B5 and Garden Gnomes

[Elizar]

I was watching King of the Hill tonight, Peggy got a garden gnome, and this really weird lady comes and complements the gnome, tells peggy about how she'll get lost in the messageboards, "Hey, are you into Babylon 5?" "No, should I be?"

I don't know, it just made me laugh.

Wow! A Babylon 5 reference in a mainstream TV show. That's a rare gem. Thanks for sharing.

"B5 and Garden Gnomes" -- What a priceless post title.

Damn. I saw this post and I was hoping to get some Narn to guard my driveway.

Oh well.

Woo hoo!!!

Knowing the way that Ta'Lon stood vigil over G'Kar's quarters in season three, I would guess he'd be excellent at guarding driveways.

OOH! OOH! I just had an idea for a film... A Narn Named Norm...

 

[RW7427]

No, he'd be named G'Norm.

 

[vacantlook]

It could be Na'Norm, if one wanted to keep the N-thing going.

Naturally the new Narn Na'Norm needs nachos.

Most civilizations consider garden gnomes a form of weaponized memes -- and therefore ban deployment. Research indicates that most species, when shown an appropriate type of ceramic frog, will descend into utter madness.

Only creatures whose mind implements simulative input analysis, or heuristic effect prediction, have been observed to tolerate extensive exposure to garden gnomes.

Humans unfortunately... are not listed among those species.

Exhibit 1
Exhibit 2
Exhibit 3

Just show a Thirdspacer a ceramic frog, and utter madness will consume its mind.

I thought that was true for any intelligent creature, though?

 

[sleepy_shadow]

Further experiments have proven the assumption true. I have updated my previous post to reflect that.

Oh, I inspired a Sleepy Shadow edit!

Well, I have a ceramic toad sitting in my livingroom, by the front door, and everyone knows that I'm perfectly normal!

That's ok actually because I'm allergic to memes.
