Buffalo

Buffalo.

Buffalo?

Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo.

Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo?

I like the word 'Buffalo.' It's like a mixture of 'Buff' and 'Aloe.'

You're so easily amused.

Shiera, guess what.

What?

Buffalo.

*Facehooves*

Okay, so Buffaloes are horned, semi-equine Beings that form small colonies and tribes in the San Palomino Desert and on the outskirts of Appleloosa. They are larger and bulkier than your average-

Buffalo.

...

...

Okay then. They are larger and bulkier than your average pony and very protective. They look after their families, territories and-

Buffalo!

...and their friends... So, we first met a Buffalo tribe just outside Appleloosa. As I said, they can be very territorial, so when we crossed into their land, we soon found ourselves-

BUFFALO!

Would you stop with the 'Buffaloing!'

*Snicker*

What?

You said 'Buffaloing.' That's a funny word.

Oh for goodness sake... Look, you say Buffalo one more time and I swear I will burn our entire supply of marshmallows.

*Gasp*

You wouldn't dare, you evil spawn of satan.

Wouldn't I?

*Gulp*

Fine.

Good. So, after we crossed the Buffalo borders we were attacked and kidnapped by a herd of Buffalo.

The Bu- I mean, the furrier, horned individuals took us to their base camp.

You can say 'Buffalo' just don't randomly yell it.

Buffalo.

...

...

...

...

Right, I'm burning the marshmallows.

Nooooooooooo! I'm sorry, I won't say it again.

Promise?

Promise.

Alright, shall we continue?

Okay, so we were presented in front of the tribe leader, who was far larger and darker than his other brethren.

Originally they planned on feeding us to coyotes, but we managed to convince them not to.

Shiera is surprisingly good at pretending to cry... and weep... and beg.

We get the point.

Just saying.

We were let off, eventually, but only if we helped them recover their sacred idol, which they has lost in the desert... to coyotes.

Wasn't really much of a win-win situation, but we got the job done in the end.

Indeed.

...

...

...

Go on, say it.

BUFFALO! I love that word.
