Cointest: Name a Gnome II


Tha Saint

Recommended Posts

Last year I did the Name a Gnome cointest, and we sent Gnummy off on his travels..

 

Name a Gnome

 

TB2PXJN

 

Well this year its his brothers turn..

 

Gnomecoin2.jpg

 

And just like Gnummy once did....He has a problem... He has no name, and even worse he has no where to go. He is getting ready to go traveling but cannot decide on a mission.

 

So here's the cointest..

 

1. Name the Gnome (This will be the name I use on the coins page)

2. Give the Gnome a mission (This will be the mission I use on the coins page)

 

Simply saying send him to Utah or something like that wont get it done. Im looking for a full mission statement that I can pretty much copy & paste right onto the coin page.

 

Be as creative or simple as you like with both the name & the mission. This cointest will run for 1 week, and will end on March 21st, at no specific time..

Good Luck!!

 

Winner will be picked by me, and recieve a trackable coin of my choice.

 

Enter as many times as you like, but each entry must be a new name & new mission.

I am Gnluvabiddle the Gnome and I am on a mission to spread my Gnluv across all 7 continents of the world.

 

When I decided to leave my tribe, my dad suggested that I do something productive with my life. All the good jobs were taken and there is absolutely no future in being a Stunt-Gnome. With that in mind, I have decided that I shall visit each of the 7 continents of the world to spead the Gnluv and the wishes for peace for all Gnmankind. The world is a crazy place, and there is destruction and chaos everywhere you turn so I will go forth, and give hope and smile upon the people I should meet in my travels.

 

About this item:

Please help me travel the world, and hold me across the oceans as I am not buoyant and a worthless swimmer. I sometimes get airsick, so if I should accompany you in the air, please have a plastic bag at the ready. I have all my shots, so I should stay healthy. I might need a good polish every now and again to keep me clean and shiny, because I can't spread Gnluv if I'm not clean.

My daughter says name him

 

Clover of the 4 leaves

 

I've been seperated from some of my relatives early on in my existance. Maybe someone can help me get back to visit.

 

About this item:

I'd like to go to any Disney resort to have my picture taken with my relatives of the Dwarf family, and the Princesses that they know. After my visit with relatives, I'd also like to go to Ireland as it is my home and I miss it so much. There I'd like to see some of the famous historical attractions I haven't seen for so long. Of course, I'd like my picture taken to be shared with my owner with discretion to not show my secret number.

Genome the Gnome

 

I'm on a mission to figure out exactly what a gnome is and where we come from. I would like to travel to all sorts of gnomy places and meet all sorts of gnomy people. I want to be photographed with any gnome relatives (elves, trolls, leprauchauns, and the like). This is all in the spirit of gnome-science.

Gnutty - Gnummy's younger brother - he has always been a little eccentric, even by Gnomish terms.

 

He has heard that mom and dad mentioned that they missed Gnummy. so he has set off to let Gnummy know that he is still loved and that mom says he must remember to wash his hands before eating strange foods across the world.

 

He also is absolutely mad about nuts. So Gnutty will take detours towards anything associated with nuts. As he always says - you ain't seen Nut-ing yet!

Allow me to introduce the latest member of the family...Gnerdle Gnewton.

 

Mission: Gnerdle is what you might call a brainiac, he loves to visit places of intellectual and scientic interest. Museums, Aquariums, Planetariums, Historical Locations, etc. He would also like to eventually get a grand tour of the Smithsonian Museum in Washington D.C. or the Louvre in Paris, France. He also likes to enjoy the occasional science fiction and fantasy conventions and have his picture taken with Spock impersonators or other Vulcans or Aliens from the Star Trek television and movie series! If he can't make it to the Louvre, he would love to get close to Area 51, and perhaps hitch a ride to the stars on a spaceship! This would make him the ultimate traveling gnome! To infinity and beyond... :)

:) Nope! I played the Warcraft III and I loved it but I didn't play WoW.. :smile:

A guy, a guard in the museum I was working was playing the game and he was so fanatic!!! Every day he was telling me all the stages he played... the caracters, the levels... he even knew their lines!!!

I remember once, he was saying something about demons and slaughtering etc... and he didn't realise that he was saying that loud and... people were in!!! The poor tourists heard him and were so afraid!!!! :blink::):smile: I was trying to stop him and I couldn't! He wanted to finish his lines first!! Oh boy!!! Just imagine the picture of old english speaking couples with fear and horor in their eye to watch this guy while I was saying... I am sorry!!! they were passing with quick stept into the other room.... they were almost running and they were watching at him! I was feeling so bad!

Name: Gnomar Garciaparra

 

Mission: In honor of my recent retirement from professional baseball, I would like to travel to caches with a baseball theme. I would like to be photographed in various scenarios with a baseball theme as well. In addition, I would like to visit and be photographed with as many professional baseball parks as possible. I am particularly interested in visiting the Major League parks that I called home at some point during my playing career: Fenway Park (Boston Red Sox), Wrigley Field (Chicago Cubs), Dodger Stadium (Los Angeles Dodgers), and the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum (Oakland Athletics). My penultimate goal is to have my picture taken with the World Series Trophy.

 

Thanx for the cointest, Saint! I love the creativity!

Hello, my name is Gnorman and I have a severe case of megalophobia.

 

Because I am afraid of large buildings and extreme heights, I would ask that you please put me (gently) into caches located far away from big cities. I would prefer towns, villages, or burgs under 5,000 people. Also, because most of you are grown up and very tall, I would ask if possible, to have a child open the cache and take me out so as not to startle me. I like children as they are closer to my height and not as frightening as grownups. I can then explain to them how important it is to respect the location of the cache and to take good care of me until they can place me somewhere down the line. It would be our little secret. Be sure to remember that if a child takes me out of a cache, they must be the one to put me in another so I may say "farewell" until we meet again.

 

Thank you...

;):anibad: This name brought a book for kids I used to have as a child... I still have it!

It's name was Norman the Doorman! :blink: It was about a mouse in an art museum who was a guard, doorman and a guide there! When the lights were off, he was opening the tiny door so other mice can visit the museum! He was guiding them to see the exibits! :D

One day he saw that there was a competition for the best art and he desided to participate (as a hobby he was making things with wire from the mouse traps), by making a mouse that is hunging likean acrobat in a circus.... and it was made from a mouse trap too! :D He put his name on the trap base and he placed it with the other during night!

 

He came first but nobody knew who Norman was! The night guard of the museum told them that a mouse was living in the museum and he liked art... that he was trying to cought him and this was one of his mouse traps... and showed them Norman's hole house... :D They told him to come out and gave him the first price! His mouse trap was in the best place in the museum and there was Norman's photo as a talented maker too! they also gave him permission to guide even during day! :laughing: It was such a nice story....

 

Anyway....

 

I hope this is ok and I have your permission my friend! :)

 

Name: Norman the Gnomeman

 

Mission! I love art! Please take me to many places so I can see beautiful things, statues, buildings, places....

 

Do not forget... art is everywhere.... even in the smallest things.... A beautiful flower... a beautiful scene... a beautiful field or forest, a prety animal, an insect, a bird who is singing, the sky,, the sea, a clowd, the sun.. even a shadow... this is art made from Mother Nature and God!

 

Beauty is everywhere around us but sometimes.. we do not know how we can look for it!

As a dwarf... I can see smaller things closer... so.. I know that no matter the size.... beauty is beauty!!! :)

Great cointest you have here.

In contrast to the coin's wide-eyed optimism...

 

Name: Grumblebeard

 

Mission: Get your dirty hands off of me! We gnomes aren't the cute and cuddly little creatures you humans think we are, so don't even THINK about taking some cutesy photo of me near things like kittens or flowers. I'm in this business for one thing and one thing only- treasure! So put me in a cache with plenty of treasure to guard and MAYBE I'll forgive you for smudging me with your grimey fingerprints.

allow me to introduce: Gnoble Gnelson

 

Gnoble Gnelson believes all creatures, large or small, including humans and gnomes, are endowed with certain unalienable Rights, and that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. So in this pursuit, Gnoble would like to see an original copy of The Declaration of Independence on display at the National Archives in Washington, D.C. Then visit the Abraham Lincoln Memorial where Martin Luther King once stood and spoke the words: "I have a dream...let freedom ring...Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!" Before Gnoble is "set free" and given his independence, he would like to visit South Africa, the home of Nelson Mandela, a Nobel Peace Prize winner, who served 27 years in prison in his struggle to bring equal rights to all the people of his country and throughout the world. Gnoble Gnelson also has a dream...one day to be awarded the "Gnome Gnobel Peace Prize" for promoting peace and harmony through his many adventures and travels.

name: Glimmel McShine

 

Mission: Take me from cache to cache, and before you place me in a cache, take a picture of me looking into the sunset. I love the sun, and don't get to see it as much as I would like to, because I have to live in the shadows. but it is time for me to break out and be free. So let me see a sunset, and then place me in a cache, so I can be picked up by another cacher, and see another sunset.

mission: I love dogs. especially geocaching dogs. But any dog will do. Send me around the world, and try to take my photo with as many different species of dogs that you can.

I would like to go on an adventure and see just how many different types of dogs I can see, and have my picture with.
