Gnomish thoughts

I think that you could actually perform this fantasy and get paid for it. You often see those people dressed up as statues or robots or whatever in areas of cities that attract a lot of foot traffic. It is like busking, but easier.

One of the perks of age is the fact that we can get away with such things! Try it and see what happens. The worst is that Her Majesty will provide you with a meal and accommodation!!! Good to see you here. It's been a while.

there are some places where this sort of creativity may be appreciated, I think! Rundle Mall, in Adelaide city centre, often attracts creative people eithe performing, acting, singing, miming, dressing up.. whatever. One neeeds council permission to do this. You can even put a tin on the ground and people may donate you money. Now in a local park... hmm.. that's hard to say. a quiet park near where I live, which attracts kids, and dog walkers, I suspect the police would be evnetually called, as parents would think you a weirdo.

I think It would be amusing. Tell me how it goes. I've been thinking of going overseas & impersonating Budda myself...

Hello, Lash. We had something similar happen here this week. On waste ground near us, a man stood and covered himself in black stuff. Then he spent a couple of hours looking at the sun and holding his arms in different positions. Turned out he was a holidaymaker who had visited the local mud flats, which people say is good for the skin, although I don't fancy it myself. He brought some back in an 8 litre water carrier and did this two mornings running. I thought it was both funny haha and funny peculiar, and I wondered what would happen if the local police drove around while he was doing - whatever he was doing. The police here in Spain don't mess about, if they think you're up to something dodgy, they run you in first and ask questions later - usually much later. Unfortunately for is, but fortunately for the dotty holidaymaker, the police must have been busy elsewhere on those mornings. We still don't know what it was really all about - he looked like he was worshipping the sun or something.

You could probably earn a living by doing that! Here people dress as ancient Greek statues and stand motionless in the street.

Hmmm interesting. I think the idea is interesting but I fail to see how you would cope with standing so still for so long. Oh dear there I go again, miss practical. I think you would make a good gnome but as to how people would react I have no idea. The men in blue coats do not count. Perhaps they would see you as a new art form and make you famous as the best gnome in the world. I think the kids would like you and see you as a friendly creatures. As to the hoodies I do not think they would beat you up, one look at your physique and they would have to consider the risk that you might strike back putting them on the ground running. Gnomes are tough critters after all.
