The Yak Men of Arcata

Have I mentioned them to y'all yet? We have these two dudes who look like Klingons from the Himalayas who walk around Arcata with two yaks. Rumor is they're mean as shit and keep to themselves. They're apparently anti technology.

Have heard a story about how they were waiting for a chick in a car at a stop sign to pass so they could cross with their yaks. Well the girl sat there on her cell phone and didn't move. One of them reached through the open window, grabbed the cell phone from her and smashed it on the ground. Don't know how much truth there is to this, but it is a great story.

Apparently they just emerge from the woods every day and walk their yaks around town.

They've been run outta the Arcata plaza, which is the town square, because of some 100 year old law prohibiting livestock.

Only in Humboldt

Good story Red. Wish I could pick them guy's brains a little.

it's all about the look. To be a yak owner you have to think like a yak. To think like a yak it helps to look like a yak

I wish the hipsters here in griffin would see this and take note of it.
The hipsters have taken over down town here, but it's gotten kind of boring yelling insults at them while they're sitting outside the coffee shop drinking espressos on a 95 degree Tuesday afternoon in July while wearing sweaters with not a job to be had between them.
Now if they became yak men, it would be entertaining all over again.

Don't let your supervisor or your sergeant catch you "yacking" with them.
