Little Louis was born in 2007 when my grandma brought him home from a second hand story, the DI. My grandpa and I had spent several of the prior years playing pranks on each other with a garden gnome. I would find it in my car, then I'd put it on his toilet, then he hung it from a noose in the garage, then one day it's head popped off. Little Louis was brought to me as the replacement. Though, this gnome was much smaller than the other. And my grandpa gave it to me with two stipulations. #1. I was to keep this gnome in my car at all times so that he never had to see it again and #2. I was to rub his 'bare' bum every day to gain good luck in dating. Meet Louis...
and his bare hide (Grandpa didn't know he had pants on)
I did just as my grandpa had asked. Little Louis stayed in my Honda for 4 years until the day I had to buy a new car. I didn't feel right putting Little Louis in my new car, because that wasn't his place. At the advice of a friend I have now stored Little Louis in a special place where I can still rub his bare bum when I need a little extra help in the dating scene. When the day comes that my dating life has produced a successful relation that turns into marriage, I plan to pass on Little Louis to the dude that makes it happen. I suppose you could say Little Louis is my dowry. The guy I end up with is going to be one lucky man.
