More Reasons To Meet Seth Stevenson

His fascination with spongemonkeys and roaming gnomes:

These spots are based on a now-common prank, in which you steal your neighbor's lawn gnome, lug it around the world, and mail back photos of the gnome astride far-flung landmarks. Whoever first thought to do this is, in my book, an unparalleled genius (and a genius of my favorite stripe, too: useless genius).

"Roaming Gnome" is one of my favorite names for Tyler as he gets carted around and photographed in various venues. Yesterday, the Sweatiest Place On Earth; next weekend, the Long Beach Outdoor Antique And Collectible Market.
