Bison, American Buffalo... same thing...

[OB1]

Over here in Buffalo Land we just call them Buffalo.

[A Black Falcon]

Well so do I, but Neo here seems to want to be scientifically correct...

[OB1]

Pfft. I've yet to eat Bison meat or Bison jerkey. It's Buffalo!

[A Black Falcon]

Yes, yes, everyone calls the Buffalo... but scientifically they aren't buffalo, they are bison. :)

[OB1]

What did I just say, boy??!

[Dark Lord Neo]

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

[OB1]

It's BUFFALO, damnit!! BUFALLO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Great Rumbler]

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?!

[OB1]

Yeah! Take it from someone who eats them and stuff. :D

[Sacred Jellybean]

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".

[OB1]

Noooo!!!! Flavor of the month! We can change the board topic every month!

[Laser Link]

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!

[OB1]

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

[A Black Falcon]

OB1, you know as well as anyone that we are right. Denying it looks sillier every time... :D

[Great Rumbler]

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:

[OB1]

Only jackasses call them bison.

[Great Rumbler]

So...you're saying...that...mules...call them...bison?

[OB1]

.... 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.

[Weltall]

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

I hope that comes true!! ...All except for the chinese part...:S

[Laser Link]

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!

[OB1]

We don't get that greeley smell in the spring/summer.

It's buffalo, you weird Colorado Springieran.

[Great Rumbler]

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.

[OB1]

Hahahaha! *clap clap clap clap clap clap*

We win!


:shake: @ LL

:p

[A Black Falcon]

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

[Great Rumbler]

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!

[Laser Link]

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.

[OB1]

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.

[Laser Link]

It's supposed to be a box of lego?

[OB1]

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?".

[Great Rumbler]

Legos and buffalo,
They make me want to eat-o!

[A Black Falcon]

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.

[Weltall]

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.

:love:

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.

[A Black Falcon]

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...

[Laser Link]

But it is pretty funny! :D

Funny until now I've never heard anyone say a box of lego, I've always herd go get the box of lego

[OB1]

It's a Danish name and you're not supposed to say Legos. It's just Lego.

[Great Rumbler]

Lego my Eggo!!

[Dark Jaguar]

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?

[OB1]

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".

[A Black Falcon]

I never said you have to say it that way... just that its the way that is correct. I say Buffalo too... :)
