i've never been described as a garden gnome

in an article about a prisoner using M&M's for paint in the (i'm sorry) NYT

Mr. Johnson, 46, has something of the middle-aged biker about him, with long slicked-back hair, unfortunate tattoos, a growing paunch and an unruly beard that puts one in mind of ZZ Top or a garden gnome.

it just struck me as funny. "unfortunate tattoos" and "garden gnome" leapt off the screen while reading the article. thought i'd share
