Doughty Sailor Gnome fights off Mystery Attack in Middle of Night!
Do not be disturbed by the pictures that follow: Our Brave Gnome is none the worse for wear.
Sometime late last night Gnub, the Great Gnome-out's Sailor Gnome was attacked by an unknown assailant.Rising early this morning, Great Gnome-out host, Mrs. Grizwald, observed Gnub face down on the ice. Thinking quickly, Mrs. Grizwald summoned the event's Medical Team, grabbed her trusty shotgun and ran out to Gnub's aid on the ice.
Both the Medical Team and Mrs. Grizwald ascertained that the Gnome was fine when he responded clearly: "Yarr. I'm a sleepin' hereabouts. L'emme 'lone"
Leaving rounded, indistinct tracks, Gnub's assailant was apparently driven off before inflicting permanent or visible damage to the Sailor. How Gnub succeeded in staying unharmed, of if he was really attacked is not known,
Surprisingly, none of the other other contestants offered any commentary on the Gnub's ordeal other than Buzz Flyboy's snide comment alluding to the Sailor's inability to hold his liquor. The general silence around the apparent confrontation is very unusual for Gnomes: usually somebody has something to say.
Later in the day, Gnub apparently woke up and righted himself, looking none the worse for wear.
