Pirate Season's First Contest: Gname the Gnome
While my bride is trotting the globe, my feckless crew is stocking the good ship Maryland to the gunwales with trinkets and pirate eats. Heather (another lass without a proper pirate name as of yet) crossed my palm with a hearty chili (delivered in a stripedy Paul Smith bag no less) and Khanh the marauder (not her pirate name but it could be) offered up a garden gnome with beady little eyes that follow you like an old-man painting in "Scooby-Doo."I am calling him "Deck Hand Ruddy" until he's properly named, and am launching a contest to find a suitable name. It needn't be piratey at all as he will be here during times the missus is on board, but I think his wily and clever nature demands an equally wily and clever name. Post your suggestions here as comments. Winner gets a bottle of rum from the pirate caves and bragging rights.
My own suggestion: Gnome Chomsky

Guillermo the Gnome is so little and cute! His brown pot will brim with booty. Even though Missy said we should call him Bill for short, I think Llermo (pron. yairmo with a sneer) is a more punchy sobriquet.

Hmmm ... well I read that according to some traditions, the gnome king is called Gob, and I do always love an Arrested shout-out.
But MOST importantly, this is the best. website. ever.
