Today's pic show the Garden Gnome Guide and the Mahtoob Gnome joining the two pigs Marcelo Puffin and the newly escaped, of course with gnome assistance, Harry Fewhair, discussing the pig liberation and escape campaign.
All four of them realilized the difficulties in the situation challenging a multi-million euro industry, having loads and loads of money to destroy anybody who does not approve with their doings. That goes especially for the two pigs who actually are putting their lives on the line here. The gnomes however looks at it as more of an adventure and a possibility. Both the Garden Gnome Guide and the Mahtoob Gnome knew that people in general and industrialists in particular don't believe that gnomes actually are living creatures. As French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu (may he rest in peace) would have said: "-People that have an education oriented towards practical things don't believe in mythological stuff like gnomes!" Not that Bourdieu ever said anything about gnomes as long as he lived, but he would have put it like that if he would have been asked...
The Garden Gnome Guide thought that the occasion was demanding a speach, so he decided to recite Ambjoern Svinhufvud's famous Ode to Mining Dwarves:
"Dwarfs never talks about anything,
But precious metals and hard labour.
I myself never wanted anything
But run far, far away...
To go away and to find,
A horny and bootlegged dwarf woman,
To drink a pint of strongest brew,
And share it with no one...
But as I was about to leave,
The other dwarfs approached,
Angrily staring at me:
Why worketh not thee?
To prove their point, they said:
Work! And work hard you swine!
Labour all day until nightfall!
Or else we will thou crush!
And the years has passed me by,
They now celebrate my 85’,
And here gather no youngish dwarf lads,
Just old ones, not yet killed by the mine...
They are grey and stuffed with their gold,
Holding the metal high above head,
Remembering ore from days gone by,
Oh, they were brave dwarves...
And Swinehead that’s my name..."
