Introducing Gnome Chomsky!

If you love puns and often chuckle at the drollness of NPR shows—or if you’ve just always thought a miniature statue of the world’s pre-eminent linguist and anarcho-syndicalist would spruce up your lawn—you’re in luck. Though the descriptor sounds like something generated by a game of Mad Libs, Just Say Gnome is a purveyor of artisanal garden gnomes. Their flagship product, Just Say Gnome sculptor Steve Herrington explains, was first thought up over a decade ago but is newly getting attention online. Gnome Chomsky The Garden Noam, named, naturally, for linguist, philosopher, and political activist Noam Chomsky, runs between $75 and $195, plus shipping, depending on which of two versions a buyer wants and whether it’s ordered unpainted or painted.

  1. Gnome Chomsky – it was there all the time in plain sight and I missed it. It’s a funny pun, but maybe not $175 worth of funny.

  2. Numb Chumpsky is not such a cunning linguist either. He claims that there are actually such beings as “Indigenous Arab Palestinians”; in the teeth of conclusive linguistic evidence to the contrary. There is no unvoiced labial plosive phoneme (‘P’) in their native Arabic. This means that they cannot pronounce the word “Palestine” in their indigenous language.
