Is gnome engineering biblical?

I sure hope so!

At the Got Questions Staff Christmas Celebration last year, there was cider, snacks, sugar, the boss's elderly German shepherd trying to steal the snacks, this game where you had to identify songs that people hummed, and a table filled with gnome engineering! You know, for the people who didn't want to hum.

It's easy-peasy! All you do is cut a half-inch circle from a plastic cup. Then realize the circle is too big and cut it and tape it smaller. Then realize the tape doesn't work. Then cut strips from a file folder and tape them in rings. Then wonder if you cut them too narrow.

Then you cut your yarn into 6" lengths. Then realize they were supposed to be 10". Then you cut some other yarn. Then you tie the yarn onto the rings. Then the people on the other side of the table realize you cut their yarn too short. Then you see how long it takes your bookkeeper before she caves and shows her husband how to make a proper pompon. Then the people on the other side of the table realize there were more than just two colors of yarn available.

Throughout the entire endeavor, remember to constantly lose and fight over the scissors.

Then you realize the glue gun has deposited hot glue all over the boss's granite countertop. Then you try to get the extra glue sticks from the boss's elderly German shepherd. Then you realize your puppy got into the yarn and made it slightly soggy.

With drool, not pee!

Then you make the hat, but you don't want to cut any of your work so it's too big. Then you make another pompon to stuff in the hat. Then you remind people there's a glue gun so they can glue the hats onto the heads. Then you realize you only have one type of doodad for noses so everyone's is going to be pastel and sparkly.

Then you line up your gnomes and take a picture.

Then you wonder, how could I get a sparkly pastel nose for Christmas? Maybe by going to a Christmas party not thrown by a conservative Christian ministry? Or maybe just genome engineering.
