Been a long time since I've heard of these foul creatures. A definition: "A relative of the Troll that not only eats, but tortures Gnomes. Manifests as an ugly, smelly, snotty beast that is not afraid to throttle a Human when the opportunity arises. Generally found in Norse Mythology and popularized in the book 'Gnomes' by Wil Huygen and Rien Poortvliet. In the book, Snotgurgles are described as the biggest foe of the Gnome, but also the least intelligent." Source: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.p ... snotgurgle
Dooley; Happy Anniversary to you and all of our stewers. The time sure does fly by faster than we would like it to. Desert Rat; Glad that problem with the snotgurgles has been taken care of for the gnomes sake. Here in Upper Wisconsin we have a problem with Hodags. They attack a lot of our garden critters and so far no solution has been found to get rid of them. Very few have been caught because they are so sneaky. Hodag! Ohhh what sharp teeth you have. ( photo / image / picture from Tooty2shoes's Garden ) They even have a festival every year in Rhinelander, Wisconsin hoping it will appease them. But that only last for a short time, and has to be repeated every year. Although with all this heat we have been getting I hope they do not migrate further down in the state looking for a new home. Not in my gardens!
Hodags! I'd forgotten about them. We had a cabin up by Ojibwa, Wisconsin when we lived in Kenosha. Every year the boys had to hunt for hodags when we went up there. dooley
If I recall correctly, the favorite food of hodags was white bulldogs. We never ran into any hodags at our cabin but we did have a very large black bear who would come and look in our windows at night. He also raided our garbage can. We came to the cabin one time and found bear tracks all over the yard and the garbage can which was empty and I had left in the back of a pickup truck up there was out on the ground, smashed flat. The bear was angry because I had emptied it before we left. He flattened on of the rear tires on the pickup with his claws when he climbed in to get the garbage can. He had no sense of humor. dr
