Over here in Buffalo Land we just call them Buffalo.

Well so do I, but Neo here seems to want to be scientifically correct...
The Vote for the fate of this forum, take three! - OB1 - 5th June 2003
Pfft. I've yet to eat Bison meat or Bison jerkey. It's Buffalo!
The Vote for the fate of this forum, take three! - A Black Falcon - 5th June 2003
Yes, yes, everyone calls the Buffalo... but scientifically they aren't buffalo, they are bison. :)

It sucks when your minding your own buisness walking through the local national park and you run into one of those damn bison

It's BUFFALO, damnit!! BUFALLO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Vote for the fate of this forum, take three! - Great Rumbler - 6th June 2003
It's buffalo. Not bison. Buffalo. No one I know says bison. That's becuase they all say buffalo. Do you know why they say buffalo? Becuase that's the correct term for them...YOU GOT THAT?!
The Vote for the fate of this forum, take three! - OB1 - 6th June 2003
Yeah! Take it from someone who eats them and stuff. :D

Well, I guess I just broke the tie. I voted "Flavor of the Month", but actually, I changed my mind. I want it to be "Media Forum".
The Vote for the fate of this forum, take three! - OB1 - 9th June 2003
Noooo!!!! Flavor of the month! We can change the board topic every month!

Blood and ashes (guess what I've been reading lately)! It's bison! Haven't any of you ever been to Yellowstone? I don't really care, but they are called bison. Buffalos are water buffalos.
Everyone's got a water buffalo. Yours is fast but mine is slow. Oh, where do we get them? I don't know. But everyone's got a water buffalooOOOOOOOOOOOO!
The Vote for the fate of this forum, take three! - OB1 - 14th June 2003
Nobody but you crazy Colorado Springans call them bison. Everywhere you go they're called buffalo. You have buffalo ranches, buffalo burgers, buffalo jerky, and Buffalo Bill. :D

OB1, you know as well as anyone that we are right. Denying it looks sillier every time... :D
The Vote for the fate of this forum, take three! - Great Rumbler - 14th June 2003
You can't be right. And do you know why that is? Becuase I say that it is 'buffalo". And if I say that it is buffalo it must be right, because I'm NEVER wrong. Ever. Not once. Arguementation is futile. You cannot win against my supreme rightness...Yeah, that's right. Not ever.....oh yeah: :shake:
The Vote for the fate of this forum, take three! - OB1 - 14th June 2003
Only jackasses call them bison.
The Vote for the fate of this forum, take three! - Great Rumbler - 15th June 2003
So...you're saying...that...mules...call them...bison?

.... yes.Hey I had this insane dream last night. You drove over from Oklahoma or wherever (although you were chinese... which is weird...) and we went around the city causing trouble and having fun. It was like a crazy anime or something.

So anyway, if it's Flavor of the Month forum, someone pick a flavor for June!

OB1, the fumes from Greeley must be affecting your brain. I'm sorry, but now that I understand your condition I'll be able to communicate with you easier. :D
Let's make it Wheel Of Time month! Or Wheel Of Time two weeks!

We don't get that greeley smell in the spring/summer.
It's buffalo, you weird Colorado Springieran.

I went to Colorado Springs one time. I stayed at the...wait...what was it? Bison Lodge? No, that doesn't sound right...I know it was the BUFFALO Lodge!*
*True statement.

Wheel of Time Year... its the least we can do. :)
And no one CALLS them Bison.... that's just their scientific name. Look in any textbook or dictionary. :p
The Vote for the fate of this forum, take three! - Great Rumbler - 16th June 2003
Scientific names are stupid! They're all in some kind of wacky moon-man language! Like feline. And canine. What the heck does that mean?! It doesn't not even begin to make no sense!
The Vote for the fate of this forum, take three! - Laser Link - 17th June 2003
If you want to be enjoy being wrong, I guess you can. :) The real name is bison, but people call them buffalo. Just like we call people Indians. If you don't believe me, search for it and you'll find every website says something like "Bison, commonly though incorrectly called buffalo..."
I know being wrong is just going to eat at you for a long time.
The Vote for the fate of this forum, take three! - OB1 - 17th June 2003
It doesn't matter if Bison is the correct term because nobody calls them that! Just like saying "a box of legos" isn't correct (it's supposed to be "a box of lego"), but nobody gives a damn because it sounds stupid.
The Vote for the fate of this forum, take three! - Laser Link - 17th June 2003
It's supposed to be a box of lego?
The Vote for the fate of this forum, take three! - OB1 - 17th June 2003
Yeah, that's the correct way to say it. But nobody says it that way, now do they? Same thing with Buffalo.
And that Indian example was a poor one because saying "Indian" is such too vague. You always have to ask "which Indian?".
The Vote for the fate of this forum, take three! - Great Rumbler - 17th June 2003
Legos and buffalo,
They make me want to eat-o!
The Vote for the fate of this forum, take three! - A Black Falcon - 17th June 2003
I have never heard anyone call or refer to a box of legos as a box of lego. Nice try, but... NO.
And yeah it sort of is like Indian ("Native American") or maybe Eskimo ("Inuit"). People say one thing a lot, but that doesn't make it any less wrong.
The Vote for the fate of this forum, take three! - Weltall - 17th June 2003
I would like to take the opportunity to interrupt the current argument to remind everyone involved that it began because of "German Schiezer Buffalo Porn" in the forum's title.
So with that in mind, consider how important the argument really is before you all continue it.

It doesn't matter if you've never heard anyone say it that way because it's still the truth. And you said that just because everyone says one thing doesn't mean that it's right, so you better start saying "a box of lego" or else you're going to be a hypocrite.

I'd never believe something as strange as that without proof.
As for this "debate", it in no way is a debate, that's for sure. Because there is no issue to debate...

It's a Danish name and you're not supposed to say Legos. It's just Lego.
The Vote for the fate of this forum, take three! - Great Rumbler - 18th June 2003
Lego my Eggo!!

You just read that off of Penny Arcade OB1 :D.
Legos, it is NOW officially the plural form, now and forever, because that's the common usage, forever! Yes yes!
*blows up 3 or 4 planets*
Yes yes?

Well I already knew about it but used that specific example in this debate because of PA.
I do think that saying "a box of lego" sounds stupid, but ABF said that just because something is commonly said doesn't make it right, even though he says "legos".
The Vote for the fate of this forum, take three! - A Black Falcon - 19th June 2003
I never said you have to say it that way... just that its the way that is correct. I say Buffalo too... :)
