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.

Good luck with your trip! You could get your BP checked at a Walmart pharmacy or a drugstore, when you’re not under stress. I think you even get a printout.
Finished, now for the file of hardened steel. Sharpening ... right on time.
Good luck with all that, especially with the pins. I get pins and needles in my toes all the time, but it’s from sitting in my chair with my feet propped up on the bed. It’s usually tough to walk for a few minutes after I stand up, but the problem takes care of itself without a doctor visit.
Do you have to get your feet rayed before they can be ex-rayed? I’ve always wondered about that. Did it hurt?
I’m goad I didn’t have to clean that swim team’s pool.
85 lbs of lost fat can really clog the systems.
Should have been, “I’m *glad*”
I blame autocorrect.
I swear one day I’m gonna figure out how to hook my old manual typewriter up to this interthingie.
“Miracle overnight weight loss programme. Water proof bed sheet, shovel, and bin bags included. “
One of the most effective weight loss methods I’ve used was to cut off my head. I wasn’t using it for anything anyway, it took a bunch of weight right off, and now I don’t eat.
Most people use their heads, but I figured mine was just a waste of space.
A most efficient solution to a problem, if a little terminal in nature.
Have worked out why i was feeling ill this morning....0bama is just up the road.
Poor Wales , having to host that tosser is a most odious task.
Heh. I knew you were goad!
Terminal for some.
Doesn’t even slow me down.
There’s a Bunny on the front of that ship.
There’s always a bunny.
The bunny controls all.

The look on the fuzzy face says “Truly all shall be laid to waste.”
The bunny is back?
I thought King Arthur and his knights had ended his reign of terror.
Nope.
The bunny can only be delayed, never truly defeated.
Where does it end?
Will we never be free?
Curse you, you bunny!
(Finally, a chance to use those acting lessons.)
*Fast forward a century*
It was a largish American city, or it had been.
Now it was rubble, ash, and smoking leftovers.
Strange humanoid shapes moved about in the darkness, sounds similar to snuffles, honks, and chortles were heard.
A frightened human, hiding in an alleyway, tried to make his way across the street without being seen.
He was roughly halfway across when he heard the telltale sound that he’d been spotted.
*Thump*
It was a foot thumping against the ground.
It was answered by a chorus of responding thumps from, much to his horror, all around him.
Figures leaped from nearby windows, some piled out from doorways, all of them a strange variation of a theme.
Bipedal, far faster than he, and with a curious hop to their stride.
Screaming in fear, he turned towards what he thought was at least a chance of escape.
A series of snorts signaled to others where he was heading.
Oddly, the figures weren’t catching up to him, it was almost as if he were being herded towards something.
*WUFF!*
That something was larger than the rest, armored, and had just bowled him over.
The helmet slowly came off to reveal
The angry face of a rabbit.
Alas poor Elmer. He’ll never sing, “Kill da Wabbit!” again.
Flattened by angry rabbit fist.
Hmm.
