NOT Orioles you flaky froggie! Oreos! It is a confection devised by some evil genius to please the palate of the little ones (and shut them up!) while at the same time deviously designed to tear UP the insides of the unwary old, flatulent, over-the-hill-but-still-young-at-heart and stupid ancient ones.
And DON'T BE SPITTIN ON MY TRACKS! You might be hittin' my mushroom farm! That would make me testy. Might call for a dirt storm headed your way.
But, yes, Gnomie did get over that affliction and learned an important lesson. Bettygnome, however, being 13 years younger than GnomeDome, thought she was immune to the affliction and had a handfull one night while Gnomie was gallavantin' with the Mohicans in NC. She tells me it also ripped HER up and she spent some time reading on the library chair with hole in middle of seat. Ha! She often does not understand the old one's afflictions. Got her! The master of life is just in his wisdom!

: : Monique,
: : I would go easy on the Gnome, if I were you. He gets mighty testy when people spit on his tracks. Perhaps ye have misunderstood his eatin' habits, due to a unsure sense o' his meanin'. I do believe he was eatin' those things called Oriole Cookies - ye know, the ones that come in a little circus package and look like birds and lions and things. The Mohican Bountyess supplies them to the small people o' the colony at outrageous prices, along with her pre-packaged travel foods for long hunting trips and sieges at the fort.
: : Better apologize to The Gnome, or he will start kickin' dust at ye, and ruin yer silk dressin' gown and yer fine French face powder.
: : She Who Tracks La Longue Carabine
: Ooooooh! Les cookies........................never mind. He is perhaps recovered by now, non?
