Big time open season on 32 bison in Colorado. A Colorado man, a transplanted Texan, is accused of shooting 32 bison who lumbered onto his Colorado ranch. He claims that when the bison stormed thru his fence, he had the “right to shoot them” under a hundred year old law on open range.
His neighbors are pretty opposed to this, and suggested that he take up the Amish style of hunting. This is where you sneak up on the Bison, and then build a barn around the thing. More humane, and less noise. Possibly irritated because the animals killed his trees, ate he is grass, turned his land into a “feedlot,” turned over his Satellite Dish, he did the Texas thing to do …. He shot them.
Which is a good deal, if this had been in Crawford, Texas, the residents there would took a WMD-Chainsaw to the hapless creatures for sure. Messy, very messy.
While we’re at it. On the subject of Transplanted Texas Tornado’s and Bison. Every time someone hears a tornado, they say it “sounded like a freight train.” Bull, I used to ride freight trains and it doesn’t sound anything like a freight train. I suppose in the “olden days” as my grandson refers to them, they said it sounded like a “herd of Buffalo’s or something like that.”
Just thought I would clear up that apparently obvious Bison misnomer. A tornado more or less sounds like a huge jet aircraft, or a group of jet aircraft. There isn’t much difference between a tornado and a hurricane. Both are about the same, only thing for sure is … Someone is going to lose a trailer house, beet yo’ last dollah on that one.
Back to the Bison thang, I digress Y’all (Okie Talk). The Transplanted Texas Buffalo shooter is now headed for court. His Colorado neighbors commented “if he didn’t want to live where the buffalo roam, he should have stayed in Texas.” That is pretty good.
As Mrs. McGee in third period English used to say … “Let us expand on that thought” ….“If you don’t like Hot Dogs, Apple Pie, and the American Flag” maybe you should have stayed in Mexico.”
Nice blend huh?
Big doins for Cinco De Mayo in Oklahoma City this week. Boise Idaho just opened up a “Mexican Consulate” in that city. Don’t you dare laugh or snicker about that. This is the 49th one to open in the United States!
Adios Amigo’s ….. Listen for the whoosh … That distinct sucking sound as your country goes down the tubes.
