It had to come to that. It wasn't me, it was society. The apparently official e-shop of Gnome's Lair, the cunningly named Gnome's Little Shop of Thingies has already opened its cyber doors. Visit it by clicking this pretty obvious link.
There, oh brave and adventuring consumer, expect to find a weekly (or so) updated list of featured goodies, and a variety of video games, books, RPGs and board games. Also expect to find obscure gems from the Amazon.com vaults. Gems like The Game of Thrones in d20 format, a certain Monkey Island game and books detailing the Spectacular Rise and Fall of Commodore.Related Tags: Gnome's e-shop, online shopping, games, gaming, adventure games, RPG, Roleplaying Games, Board Games, Books, DVD
Have you gone all commercial on us Gnome? Next you'll be up in court for monopolising the gaming market. Hehe (groan).
ReplyDelete:D
Gnome, could you also explain to us stone-age apes what the difference is between normal blogger and beta? Im intrigued by it all...
ReplyDeleteDear and hopefully non-aggressive stone ape,
ReplyDeleteyou did notice, didn't you? What can I say... monopolisation of the game market by me though, would definitely benefit us all... Think Dreamcast ;)
Other than that, Blogger Beta, features some significant improvements: a very easily modified (drag and drop) template, post labels (categories), more templates, speed, better feeds, a managable blog archive thingy and more...
I'd suggest giving it a try. Bring the Yard to the world of beta.

ReplyDelete.....erm i'd like to see your under the counter selection please Gnome.. er sir!....
Right way dear familiar looking section... Will it be elfs or something else?

ReplyDeletehow say you? kind, I've never seen you before now, shop keeper
But of course prized customer... Now, was it unicorn horn or porn?
ReplyDeletewouldn't you rather have something simpler? A rhno's horn perhaps? Midget porn?

ReplyDeletehave i erred in beleiving this fine establishment has unicorn horns?
faith!! say it is not so, whatever shall i do now!......
I'll put on the ke.... erm.. cough! perhaps we should talk about it at greater liberty with a fine diffusment of tea.......
But kind Sir, I am working... Drinking tea right now might lead to a higher wc-visiting frequency, that might eventually bring shop-productivity to a halt, thus shaking capitalism's foundation itself...
ReplyDeleteOk. Tea it is... And no.. No horns...
..well thats a pity... a shame.. a big let down... my sources were erronyiou errogneieous.. .wrong...
ReplyDeletelets imbibe therfore and see what other illicit treasures are available beneath yonder gilt edged counter....
(elderly heads off towards Gnomes kitchen.... stops..walks back looking puzzled) cough.... the kettle is in which direction sir?
It's right infront of you Elderl...uhm.. Elder Sire...
ReplyDeleteAnd would you be intersted in Lothlorien Lingerie for your lady friends?
..aye... as my girlfriend isn't available at present, perhaps i may be impertinent as to suggest we might have the samples modelled by your celebrated store model.....
ReplyDeleteαυτή θα ήταν διασκέδαση
Yes, surely fun, in the most enjoyable of ways...
ReplyDeleteProblem is, our admittedly beautiful store models, are not very much ...uhm... alive... They are more sort of uhm stuffed...
....what a pity..... a shame... still they are "life sized" I trust....
ReplyDeleteYes... though I'd prefer to describe them as death sized...
ReplyDelete..oh my, oh dear... i've come over all queasy..... death sized you say...... are they... erm well... for sale! cough... I'll pay handsomely....
ReplyDeleteOh... I see... How handsomely?
ReplyDelete...i dunno, well generously then.. i'll pay generously.....
