Musk ox invasion keeps Nome wildlife managers busy

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.

Yah...we got that during the Korean War. What do First and Second Graders know of black-out curtains and “assume the position?”

Don’t go getting excited, please. We don’t want to get pregnant. This watermelon am carrying is nine years overdue as it is.

” Ohh you mean on the Flo,,wer! What like down therrre? Wuuuut?
We where evac’ed into the corridors due to the way the building where built. (Solid concrete inner walls)
Amazing how fast kids can move if they think the world is about to end in a bright light.

Being a Gremlin is never easy. Bright lights make it downright dangerous. Water is worse though. Gismo ... Loved Her.

There is a party recipe for Alcoholic Watermelon.
It takes two weeks to create.
There is however a training course required before you can create one.
“Two weeks in the Canaries, Costas ,or the Balearics, with a gang of Drunk Brits.”
Nightmare, utter Nightmare.

LOL! Good one. :)

[Monkey Face]

No thanks...I like Drunk Brits but from a distance and not many! LOL!

Heading out to do laundry, now...

Nightmare, utter Nightmare.

yep, my Son mentioned meeting up with a few of those guys. Said they were great though and he'd gladly share their adventures and be willing to bestow Nightmare upon Nightmares upon anyone being stupid enough to raise their ire. Son then looked at me and said, "Dad they don't need my help though. They can handle any situation and bestow upon their target so many boom booms that they make me look like I'm backing up!"

[moose07]

LOL,Good story. :)

when one has moon bats to watch for recreation.

Except that for Nully it's not all that challenging since from the Governors office on down the state is full of 'em... ;-)

And then quietness ensued.

"Oh, bother!" said Pooh, as he chambered his last round.

[Tax-chick]

Always a favorite.

[NicknamedBob]

It’s good that frustration is tangible, because otherwise we’d feel left out.

[Tax-chick]

Sometimes you just have to let it go.

[no-to-illegals]

Nice find Bob. Tacticalogic is famous.

[NicknamedBob]

"Nice find Bob. Tacticalogic is famous."

In the kingdom of the blind, the one-eyed man does not need 3-D glasses.

[no-to-illegals]

Have never found you to be blind Bob, or one-eyed and never have I seen you in 3-D glasses, only a tutu.

[ThomasThomas]

In a land of one eyed tutu wearing idiots. Even a fool can become president.

[no-to-illegals]

Bob is not an idiot but he has worn a tutu. I don’t think Bob wants to be President. I maybe am an idiot but Bob is not. This is becoming complicated. Bob is not gay. I’m not gay. I’m Happy, one of the Seven Dwarfs. Oh, I think I understand ... you are speaking of our tutu wearing current _res__ent. The one that is missing an id. Sometimes I’m slow ... Forgiveness asked for.
