Where the Buffalo Roams
From the Rapid City Journal - 1 Feb. 2005
RAPID CITY, S.D. - A buffalo that escaped from an auction ended up in a dressing room at the Rushmore Plaza Civic Center where it spent a couple of hours staring into a mirror. The buffalo jumped over a steel panel during the Black Hills Stock Show & Rodeo on Sunday morning, went down an alley and got into the dressing room reserved for visiting sports teams, said Brian Maliske, the civic center's general manager. "The door happened to be unlocked and he pushed the door open and went in," Maliske said. The crew conducting the Black Hills Classic Buffalo Sale decided to keep the animal locked in the dressing room for the rest of the auction. During its two hour stay, it reportedly became fascinated with the image it saw in a big mirror. Once the sale ended, a rodeo crew member coaxed the buffalo out of the dressing room and back into captivity. The animal never got into a public area, Maliske said.

Probably stood there looking in the mirror telling itself.. "You are one SHEXSHAY beast! Yes you are!"

buffalo soldier
the day after christmas i woke up at my brother's house to find a buffalo running down the road... i was like, what?? it had iced the night before, the animal got out, and the owner was chasing him down the road sliding in his truck - it was the funniest thing.....the buffalo was taller than his little pick-up truck...i believe one of them's as tall as the trailer the man lives in
i had never seen one up close, but.... no one was amused except me? i was yelling @ my 4-yr-old niece to come look and her reply was, "what? it's only a buffalo"
