Oh, No! Maybe they took after their hero and role model - That travel site’s “Roaming Gnome”, and now they are defending travelers from bad hotels….

Well, duh. What else are you going to use to herd plastic buffalo lawn ornaments? It’s not like they make plastic cowboys! And because gnomes are small and buffalo are big, they needed a lot of them.
