Long before Amelie, back when Smurfs and Fraggles roamed the earth (and the underworld), there was a little fox-riding gentleman by the name of David. After many years, David's fame grew so large that armies of gardeners decided to place statues of him in their briar patches. But then again, we're not really sure what a briar patch is, anyways.
Well David the Gnome's notoriety might be great, but there's no two ways about it: gnomes are kickass. And they look pretty good on a flask too.
