Did you know that that "Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo." is a grammatically complete sentence? For real. Also, buffalo are really cute and there should be more cute things made in their image. Here are a few of my favorites…
• The juxtaposition of bison and fabulous wallpaper is, of course, the work of Catherine Ledner. It's as if a majestic bison just wandered into a sweet country kitchen! Prints can be yours for between $250-$1700(!).
• I first fell for Banquet's "Forest Flora & Fauna" screenprint , and I'm so excited about everything they come up with. Their little "big blue buffalo" card is just the thing to send the buffalo-fan in your life. Don't we all have one?
• One of the dogs I dog-sit has a stuffed buffalo toy (though not exactly this one), and seriously- it's the cutest thing ever. I smile every time I see it on the floor, or on the dog bed. A buffalo! I highly recommend one.
• Does anyone know anything about the beautiful buffalo/bison (I'm not sure which) mural on Valencia between 18th & 19th? I think it's wonderful (and I don't think the text was part of the original design- does anyone know?). Art featuring buffalo can often be so, so Southwestern, and while that has its place, of course, I like the more abstracted quality of this, and especially all the grey.
• Regina Yunghans of Apartment Therapy spotted this light fixture at a Montreal restaurant, and I think it is my favorite of the bunch. The white paint, clean style, lovely light shade, and soft light all come together in such a wonderfully modern way- it's the new buffalo.

They are powerful, majestic animals. I'm glad that they were brought back from near-extinction, albeit to join the mainstream menu.
Is it wrong to feel they're both cute and tasty?
Bison is quite yummy - plus it's low in cholesterol and those nasty hormones & anti-biotics that most beef is jammed-packed full of.
I'm a non-vegetarian, so I have similar conflicting feelings yet, if I were vegan, then I'd still have conflicting feelings about other things. That's more from being human than from being wrong. It's still good that those animals won't soon become extinct.
That "Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo." link is one of the coolest things I've read in a long time.
These are all images of bison... Scientifically, the term "buffalo" is incorrect for the North American species.
Just saying! :)
noooooooooooo!
don't start a "put a bird on it!" trend with buffalo. i love my buffalo decor and don't want to see it everywhere i look :(
@jsev: Put a buffalo on it!
And don't forget the namesake city in Western New York......Beautiful, one of a kind Buffalo, New York. The American bison has long been a symbol of this historically rich city.
Love these! Just got this for my apartment:

AbbySF- those are beautiful! Thanks!
My dad collected them late in life. Now his collection is mine and I add to it as if I were buying for him. I would so buy everything shown here. Except maybe the 18th century mural. Doesn't quite fit in, ya know?
