1. “Who’s up for a Buffalo race?”

2. Ha! That’s a great start! Who’s next?

3. “With the revolutionary American Bison Body Shaper Girdle, I can finally fit into my favorite pair of jeans again!”

4. “8 seconds until extinction,” you see it works both ways: 8 brutal and lethal seconds of bison bull riding or the immanent or nearly immanent collapse of this species.

5. He was an hairy man, and girt with a girdle of leather about his loins. And he said, It is Elijah the Tishbite. (2 Kgs. 1:8)

6. Touche on #3!

   “Okay, dude, your ride is ready!”

   (says the crafty dude ranch guide.)

   Yeah and pet the nice buff on the side of the road through the fence! (Actually don’t! They may seem tame, but they can run right through any fence that is not electrified.)

   (says the former guide from Wyoming.)

7. “Ahem. Helllooo? Anyone going to finish my shave?!”

8. The original buffalo wings:
   1. Sit in seat
   2. Kick heels (spurs unnecessary)
   3. Fly

9. &^%$# Primary President. ‘Ordained for the use of man,’ she says [D&C 49:19]. ‘Jesus loved the little children,’ she says.

10. Santaquin Bisonequine. (pronounced bye-sawn-uh-quin)

11. No witty caption, but the difference in size between the front quarters and the hindquarters is astonishing.

12. Do you feel lucky, cowboy? Do you?

13. Can buffalo be domesticated or tamed?

14. I’m guessing that vehicle is front-wheel drive. Or should I say front-leg drive?

    I notice there’s no bridle. Is that safe?

15. Ooops, I guess that buffalo was tame enough to allow someone to saddle it, and to stand still enough for a picture.

16. A year’s tuition at BYU: $4400
    Room and board for a year: $7100

    Personal expenses for a year: $1800
    Obtaining a beard card at BYU: Priceless

17. You nuts are as witty as I suspected you all were!

18. Umm, no. Riding a buffalo under any condition is not “safe.” Individual buffalo have been tamed (or saddle broken, as this photo shows) but the breed has not been “domesticated” by any stretch of the imagination.

    And that saddle seems way far back. The reins would have to be 10 feet long.

    If you get bored, look on the internet for a guy named John Payne. He has a rodeo “half-time” show where he rides a buffalo (with only one arm, to boot!)

    One more link for laughs:

19. Go ahead. I dare you.

20. Welcome to Extreme Mutton Bustin’!

21. My wit is in hiding today but I’m enjoying everyone else’s. Especially 4, 12, 16, and 19.

22. She may not look like much, but she’s got it where it counts.

23. This is the wagon queen family truckster.

24. I consecrated my horse, and this is what they gave me?!

25. Some of these go in such unexpected directions that you have me laughing out loud — Paradox’s is one of those. So was Jacob J.’s. They’re all terrific.

26. Bye-son.

27. Hey now! That there’s Ralphie, not Cowboy Joe! (#*%@/! Wyoming fans!)

28. “She slept in a buffalo. A real live buffalo!”

29. “President Young forewent the usual open wagon and chose a different type of ride as Grand Marshal in this year’s Fourth of July Parade down state street.” — Deseret News, July 5, 1870.

30. Well, you’ve uncovered the saddle. If you keep shaving the critter, you will find reins, a halter, and maybe a rider buried in there.

31. Cape Buffalo, site of the first manned moon launch.

32. I really would like to know how they managed to get that saddle on. Whoever did it is a better man than I am.

33. Daddy, are you sure that’s a pony?

34. How am I supposed to pick a winner and award the brownie points? I didn’t think of that little dilemma …

35. Daddy, is that a boy or a girl buffalo?

36. Yeah, they do call me Buffalo Bill. Why do you ask?

37. Porter Rockwell as Missionary to the Cheynne

38. Brigham Young’s plan to bring the saints to Zion.(cheaper than handcarts)

39. Bookslinger, yes I think it’s possible.
    Years ago I wrote a paper at USU for a class on Canadian history and found mention of some Metis in Manitoba raising a Buffalo in their corral.

40. Just for the record, my wife and I had dinner with my oldest son and his wife at Carolina Smokes BBQ last week, and had Buffalo Prime Rib Sandwich. Don’t tell this guy, I’d be in big trouble.

41. Not as much trouble as you’ll be in if you eat the tires off your wife’s new car.

42. Looking out the window this morning I realize that perhaps I was to drunk to saddle my horse and ride myself home after all.
