Ask Regina’s Garden Gnome – Oscars Best Picture prediction

Leave a reply

“Dear Gnome,

Who do you think will win the Best Picture Oscar this year?” Brad Pit (Not *that* Brad Pitt. I only have one T in my last name, no kids and I’m not living with Angelina Jolie)

Gnome– Is Gnomeo and Juliet nominated? Nope. Hollywood (and Storybrooke, btw) is always keeping us Gnomes down. We won’t stand for it.

Well, that’s all most of us gnomes can do anyway. I won’t give my Best Picture prediction until the Gnomeo and Juliet sequel is nominated for Best Picture.

Oh and dude, I’ll bet if you add a T to your last name, Angelina will call – and bring the kids. Just sayin’

ONCE UPON A TIME HITS A HIGH NOTE

Ask Regina’s Garden Gnome – The stoned question

1 Reply

“Dear Mr.Gnome,

What’s it like to be in a constant state of being “stoned?”…..Harrrrhrrrr!” Manny

Gnome– Oh, I see what you did there – Stoned, I get it. Now, I would never recommend to any person to take any type of illegal substances, but being in Storybrooke might make you feel like you had. I mean;

The clock in the clock tower stopped for 28 years. 28 years, and the company that made the clock said it was past the Warranty period, and they wouldn’t fix it. That’s freaky enough, but then

Wolves with one red eye and one black eye walking around,

Mr. Gold telling you the Wolf you saw walk by didn’t exist,

Storybrooke is a wacky place, but then is does have a Thursday every week now. 🙂
