Nome is used to rowdy residents, but some relatively new transplants are making a real nuisance of themselves -- although unlike the colorful characters of the early 20th century gold rush days, these visitors have four legs, not two.

Musk oxen are wandering into the city on the Seward Peninsula, and despite loud noises, water hoses and even a blow-up bear coated in ursine urine, they don't want to leave.

Well, now that I think about it ...

[Tax-chick]

Oh, I see. I’m glad you’re okay!

Morning T-c. Morning Everyone!

“I can stretch it a little, carefully, after the funeral.”

Not many people are capable of such stretching after a funeral.
That the gym preceded the funeral, well, what kind of equipment accident was this?

[Darksheare]

Finally had said “screw it” and made my way out past the downed line and on to Route 84 east.
Since they didn’t bother trying to stop me that time, well.

I think the manufacturer's name was "Procrustes".

There was a wrestler who broke his own neck but won the match by kicking his opponent in such a way the man submitted.
Why?
Well, his coach said something to the effect of “A fine corpse you’ll make if you fail to submit at Olympus”.

Might disappear for a while but my promise will come back, if the grass, hedge, river, canyon, etc aren’t too high or too deep and wide. It doesn’t matter ... Stay Safe Everyone and Prayers will go with each of you. Request same, please.

Let us go chasing Sunshine ... Never turning back.

[Tax-chick]

Good luck in your travel and travail.

“, if the grass, hedge, river, canyon, etc aren’t too high or too deep and wide. “

Just had a mental image of a lawn, a hedge, a canyon, and a river chasing someone down the road.
The lawn has grassy teeth, the hedge has a yawning leaf lined mouth, the canyon is canyonish, the river is oozing along with a little crested wave at the lead.

Or a Michelin commercial.

[Darksheare]

Not my fault, honest.

"Procrustes".

Ah yes...

Most liederal logic trails are lightly disguised Procrustean beds...

How is your back feeling? Be sure to take Ibuprofen before you go to bed tonight, so you won’t be so sore in the morning.

"Be sure to take Ibuprofen before you go to bed tonight, so you won’t be so sore in the morning."

When shepherds watched their flocks at night, in the time of Jesus' birth, they had a lot of trouble sleeping.

Many of them were reluctant to even try to sleep on the hard ground, because they were sore afraid.

*groan*

Good one, Bob!

[NicknamedBob]

Ah, the patience it takes, to be able to spring things like that.

You’d think I’d grow tired of waiting.

Nope.
