    As a kid, I thought American bison. Occasionally, I thought about the city (had a bit of a New York obsession growing up). Now I think about an IIN user who taught me the sentence "Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo". Yes, it's grammatically correct. Written another way, Buffalo-origin bison that other Buffalo bison intimidate, themselves bully Buffalo bison.

    P.S. I've just sold my soul to the devil. I copied part of this answer from Wikipedia. May I rest in pieces.

        Ha! I didn't want to "out" you in case you didn't want me to but you've done it yourself.

        You were the Buffalo girl!

          What!? I was just laughing at your comment. I'll pretend like I have no idea what you are referring to.

          Wait! I remind you of a buffalo? That's a bit rude. At least I don't smell like one. :P

            Aren't buffalos like... tall? I suppose you could make a buffalette or something. Not sure how much mozzarella we'd get out of you, though. :P

            But it'd be fun trying!

  • Fun fact: The American Buffalo is actually not a Buffalo.

    I think mozzarella cheese for some strange reason and picture a buffalo.

    If nobody new the "real" fresh mozzarella is made with buffalo's milk.

    I usually think of the city, sometimes buffalo wild wings, and sometimes I actually picture a buffalo standing in the middle of a field.

    Oh wow, a lot of thoughts go through my head. Right now, I'm hungry so I'm thinking food. I ate buffalo for the first time this past summer and it was delicious.

    And then I think massacre, death, and sadness. The history of the American Bison is very sad. It feels very weird eating an animal with such a history.

    In general, it makes me think of Native Americans and the many ways in which they used the animal.

    And now a few folk songs have popped into my head...

  • Buffalo Bill. Lotion. It puts it on its skin or...it gets the hose again?

    Or something like that. I haven't seen that movie in a while.
