Chris and Jane's Place on Etsy will sell you this delightful tableau for your front yard, in which zombie gnomes are depicted feasting on a felled and mutilated pink flamingo. $55 cheap.

This is a sorry sight indeed. A poor helpless Lawn Flamingo has been taken down by zombie gnomes: Nose-less Ned, Greedy Gary, and Bartolomeu.It seems like an unlikely kill until Bartolomeu broke the elegant beasts leg and brought it crashing to the ground. Where they pounced upon their helpless victim and began their feast. So we say "Bye Bye Birdie, I'm going to miss you so, Bye Bye Birdie, Why'd you have to go?"

All of these Gnomes are hand painted and hand casted. We make our gnomes out of a very sturdy mix of hydrostone and cement, and use all purpose outdoor weather sealer to protect your paint. We have been getting so many orders so please give us 7-8 weeks for us to mail them out to you.

Zombie Gnomes: Bye Bye Birdie (Thanks, Fipi Lele!)

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

    Things like this are why I’m planning on buying a townhouse or condo. Because if I bought a house with a yard, it would be full of lawn art like this, and the homeowners’ association would go meshugenna.

      Meshugenna is SOP for honey badgers. They don’t give a shit.

    Well, really, it was only a matter of time.  I fear I may have to invest in one or two of these.  Holiday shoppin’ season, don’tchaknow.

  • ryuthrowsstuff

    My father has one of these. Its a bit disappointingly small, until you realize its scaled to the size of a plastic flamingo and not a standard garden gnome.

    The brains are in the other end. :)

    Lawn Flamingo is probably my favorite bodybuilder-turned-actor. Loved him in The Hulk.
