Description: My personal spin on local humor. 'Keep Tacoma Feared' with dreary grey skies(It's never sunny here), Galloping Gertie (the old Tacoma Narrows Bridge, so poorly designed that it collapsed into the Sound), King Octopus (local sea monster), and Mount Rainier (an active volcano predicted to erupt within the next few decades and annihilate Tacoma. lol.) Stay way, Seattle folks. There is only despair here.

Description: In American folklore, the hodag is a fearsome critter resembling a large bull-horned carnivore with a row of thick curved spines down its back. The hodag was said to be born from the ashes of cremated oxen, as the incarnation of the accumulation of abuse the animals had suffered at the hands of their masters. The history of the hodag is strongly tied to the City of Rhinelander where it was claimed to have been discovered. The hodag has figured prominently in early Paul Bunyan stories.
