Why do I love the Travelocity gnome?
Edited on Tue Aug-16-05 02:42 AM by Book Lover
He's cute and funny. He wants to be helpful, and has the best intentions. He's clearly comfortable with himself and confident, otherwise he wouldn't wear the clothes he does. Give me one reason why I shouldn't set him up with my sister (I, of course, am already married).

3. because you could set your sister up
with me, Al Franken.
I am taller and funnier (but looks are not everything). I not only have the best intentions but also the best detentions,retentions
. and indentations. Also, I have read, and own, thousands of books!

6. "No, don't back up!"
I guess he embodies that certain joie de vivre...

7. Because
an evil magical warlord put a curse on him. That's why he's been electrocuted and run over with a luggage cart. Lord knows what will happen to him next...

P.S. Love that little dapper gent too. Kudos to Travelocity for the humorus actually enjoyable commercial series.
