Six Orders of Meatballs, Hold The Gnomes ...

Fri Jun 30, 10:04 PM ET
BENTONVILLE, Ark. - Six garden gnomes arrived atop Poppi's Italian Family Kitchen about the time of the summer solstice — facing the sunrise — and the restaurant's owner says it's OK for them to stay.

"We've noticed there's fewer pigeons. We think they're afraid of the gnomes," owner Dan Perryman said Thursday.

Perryman suspects area teenagers placed the gnomes atop the restaurant; no employees have admitted taking part in the prank.

Hey ... even little gnomes get hungry! Sure, sure. Blame the teenagers! It couldn't be that the little gnomes just had business to do. It's a long trip from the pits through the domes and into the cracking portals of our collective psychotic minds! It's exhausting. And it's exhausting to work all those mines and craters and bubbles. Day and night. Spinning DNA. Night and day.

Protecting our lawns from grubs and our hearts from discouragement. People misunderstanding and complaining, pigeons afraid of their hats, children thinking bad things about gnomes. Dogs sniffing uneasily under leaf piles and hollow logs. Imagine the back flak these misunderstood Valiant Protectors experience from all the confusion. Poor little gnomes.

Toiling in their world and all the time trying to spring love and belief through the ethereal waves, past the magma and stony pits of our hearts and souls. Belief and love. Think of it this way: what we believe about them will be our experience of such matrix entities ---- and that which we pass on to our children, and their children, and so on. Until someone can stop and say "Wait. We may have this gnome thing misinterpreted." After all, such strong images of little gnomes cannot remain fixed in the impressionistic minds/lives of a collective after thousands of years without having *some* element or basis in reality. Just some thoughts for thinking.

Meanwhile, back in the rim crater of Mount St. Helen's volcano in Washingon State, the Head Supervisor of Lawn Gnomes and Things that Go Bump In The Night, surveyed the abandoned work site. Retrieving a pick, he was heard muttering, "Damn. Heigh-Ho, it's off to work I go. Alone again! Is that all those guys do is eat?? Wasn't Papa Verde's local good enough?? No. They had to march off to Poppi's in Arkansas, of all places! Now, I've got to sample and dig, dig and sample and pick all by myself! gruff grumble grumble growl."



:o)

Now that Arkansas has reared its ugly past and questionable future via The Oracles of Reuters, Annie got curious about why the little gnomes should make an appearance in, of all places ... Bentonville, Arkansas.

Perhaps after a pasgetti dinner, our little madcapped friends will be staying to supervise construction of the Crystal Bridges museum which will include original works by the notable Charles Bird King.

The Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art is a planned museum that will be constructed in Bentonville, Arkansas. Currently under construction, it is scheduled to open in 2009 and will employ approximately 75 people and be within walking distance of downtown Bentonville, AR. .[1]
Crystal Bridges was founded by Alice Walton, the daughter of Wal-Mart founder Sam Walton. The fifty-million-dollar construction project will include 25,000 feet of gallery space, as well as a library, an auditorium, and offices, surrounded by gardens and walking trails.

People are starving and homeless in Arkansas, but the museum is sure to be quite a Wonder of the Ozark World. Almost as assuredly as is former President Clinton's occulted, but nevertheless, egyptian-flavored Little Rock Presidential Library.

Birdman King is most noted for his stunning portraits of eminent indigenous tribal chiefs; however, this print sings a different sort of song about the Advantages of Poverty.


LITTLE ROCK (AP) 7/4/2006 7:25:12 pm
- The Clinton presidential library will celebrate President George Bush's 60th birthday Thursday by serving some of the current president's favorite foods. Diners at the library's Cafe 42 restaurant will have the choice of: Mexican pizza and garlic breadsticks, a deluxe peanut butter and jelly sandwich and fresh fruit, or a bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich with potato salad. For dessert, pralines and creme ice cream is on the menu. All of the above are Bush favorites, the Clinton library said Tuesday.

[ see why our little gnomes went Italian? heh.] :o)

Visitors to the Clinton library will be able to sign a birthday card, which will be sent to Bush at the White House. The library also will show Bush's favorite movie, "Field of Dreams," all day on Thursday.

[If you build it, they will come...] [Field of Dreams - quote from the Voice In The Outfield Corn]
Of course, in this case, no one said WHO would come and WHY. However, the current crop of politicians and the people who embrace the foul wastelands of their oily schemes, best start wondering who's really in charge and what It All Means. It could be that the Hokey Pokey *IS* really what it's all about; however, some turning around will be happening and Annie doesn't think it's going to be any kind of dance that we've ever experienced before this millenia!
Anyway, here's a group of Soul Food Chefs who offer a different menu.

Quote from QIM Tunes:

Tom: That medioum thing and the question why didn't you say "we’re here" (If they could be the voices of the mediums and prophets, why didn’ they just announce who they were?)Geof: Toll would incline. (Toll are victims, oppressed and them. The way I understand this now, they are the protectors of humanities sufferring and rejected. Any other time in history their power might have been considered threatening and they’d be killed off. )

Tom: This X'mas when I'm thinking about spirits and angels vis a vis you guys, how can I do that without being foolish if I knew the whole truth.

Geof: You should not womanize us. Think of us more as little gnomes with powers.
