Gnome Gnews (is Good Gnews)

   Today's post is partly inspired by the fabulous French film, Amelie, which I
   had the pleasure of viewing on the weekend.  For those unfamiliar with the
   film, one of the minor threads in the plot involves Amelie "liberating" her
   father's garden gnome and sending the gnome on a world tour.
