I woke up on the morning of Christmas Eve to a loud pounding on the front door and when I opened it I was totally amazed that there was WillyG. He had made it home for the Holidays!!

Here are a few photos of him hangin' with the family.

We had a very nice talk together and he told me about all of his adventures in 2006.

He said he knew that he was gonna be in for a great year when he first arrived in the USA in the great state of TEXAS and hung around with Mike (TXSPORTY). It was here, he said, that he learned from the very best, how to pick up women and drink DOS XX.

He also really enjoyed operating Mikes' crane and still feels really bad about the parking lot incident!

Then it was off to Virginia to learn about US History and meet all the Battlefield Sportster guys and gals with FLSKEVIN. In the fine spirit of freedom WillyG tried to get Pres. Bush's attention and help out with some biker causes.

But he said what he love the most about Virginia was the scenery.

Both WilliG and I wonder what the year 2007 will bring for him!!

That was a helluva year, gonna be hard to top that :laugh.

Willie is a bad mofo

Can we get WilliG's adventures in a book?

Willi had a very good year. Thanks for putting that all in one place.

--Chris

Tell the little guy I'm almost done with his Florida Photo album and I'll send it home to him soon. I was cruising this post and my girls came by and started squealing Willi !!! Willi !!!

He still brings smiles to my home, Thanks WilliG ...........you are the Gnome !!

I have Gnome envy. He's living the life I dream of :doh

If you haven't done it yet,
make sure the lil feller takes
a good bath. Never know
what kind of nasties he may
have picked up in his travels
with all that groping and all. ;)

Nice recap of his adventures.
Look forward to see what 07
will bring for him.

Awesome!

Looks great all together in one place.

We missed Willi so we got gnomes to replace him...rebound gnomes.

Wow! I missed some of those pictures. WilliG's definitely livin' the life!

Looks like a great year WilliG!!!

You HAVE to come to NY sometime in 07!!! I want to hear these stories first hand!

Very nice.........guess he's just plain lucky.

It was an honor for the forum to let Willie stay with me for a while. We had a great time. Here's a pic of the Virginia Boys with Willie before our ride to D.C. for Rolling Thunder.

What's next for WillieG, polar bear hunting, ski jumping at the Olympics, honor guard at the next presidential ceremonies. WillieG is a self made Gnome

Great job Bert. If you would like, you can send me all around the world to have some of that fun. Keep up the good work.
