In the mystical land of San Antonio, caramel flows through the peppermint forest like water through an actual forest. Gumdrops fall from the sky like Tony Parker's floaters. And of course, everyone smiles as they drift past the ticket booths, which grow so incredibly high.

Ruling over this fairytale locale is the benevolent wizard Gregg Popovich. It is only natural that his loyal subjects would honor the bearded wonder with a miniature figurine whittled from a single block of enchanted wood. And lucky for us, we can have a piece of that magic.

For just $24.99 you can own your very own San Antonio Spurs garden gnome (http://cgi.ebay.com/San-Antonio-Spurs-NBA-Garden-Gnome_W0QQitemZ300346134565QQcategoryZ44818QQcmdZV iewItemQQ_trksidZp4340.m263QQ_trkparmsZalgo%3DSIC% 26its%3DI%26itu%3DUCI%252BIA%252BUA%252BFICS%252BU FI%26otn%3D10%26ps%3D63)modeled on Popovich's famed beard (http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/blog/ball_dont_lie/post/RIP-Gregg-Popovich-s-unruly-training-camp-beard?urn=nba,116900). This friendly fellow will protect your garden from the dastardly Cold Miser (http://theblowtorch.blogspot.com/2008/04/1000-words-its-getting-cold-in-dallas.html) who wants to destroy your plants. "Popognome's" bright blue eyes and scraggly wooden staff represent the clearly defined vision of rapidly aging team that he oversees. It is only through this ancient magic that the Spurs remain competitive even after their rivals have fallen by the wayside.

Plus, it's super cute.

The Gnome has mystical powers I tell you... I'm not afraid to say that it compelled me to buy one. The wife will be especially pleased with this purchase!!

BTW, nice references to the old school commercial.
