Buffalo Roams Into Center's Dressing Room
Mon Jan 31, 8:47 PM ET Strange News - AP
RAPID CITY, S.D. - A buffalo that escaped from an auction ended up in a dressing room at the Rushmore Plaza Civic Center where it spent a couple of hours staring into a mirror.
The buffalo jumped over a steel panel during the Black Hills Stock Show & Rodeo on Sunday morning, went down an alley and got into the dressing room reserved for visiting sports teams, said Brian Maliske, the civic center's general manager.
"The door happened to be unlocked and he pushed the door open and went in," Maliske said.
The crew conducting the Black Hills Classic Buffalo Sale decided to keep the animal locked in the dressing room for the rest of the auction. During its two hour stay, it reportedly became fascinated with the image it saw in a big mirror.
Once the sale ended, a rodeo crew member coaxed the buffalo out of the dressing room and back into captivity.
The animal never got into a public area, Maliske said.
Back to your room, Senator Kennedy.
Hillary was speaking in Buffalo...she had an ancient Indian occultist 'bless' her years ago...she didn't feel well earlier...could this be a variation of the 'Czech is in the male' joke?
/sarcasm OFF
Thin mirror hypnotism?
He was looking for the op[en bar.
Not at all. He was there to celebrate the bisontennial.
ROFL!
