...where the buffalo roam...
 

Apparently, they roam in Maryland

PIKESVILLE, Maryland (AP) -- A herd of buffalo somehow got loose and wandered around an upscale neighborhood Tuesday, disrupting traffic and alarming homeowners before officers managed to corral them in a tennis court.

More than a dozen police cars and a police helicopter were used to herd the roughly 10 beasts, authorities said.

"Somehow they figured it out; I've got to give a lot of credit to the creativity of our officers," police spokesman Shawn Vinson said.

Authorities have identified the owner of the buffalo but did not release the person's name immediately.

Residents in the Baltimore suburb first reported that buffalo were meandering along the road about 7 a.m.

Police shut down several major traffic arteries, including a section of the Baltimore Beltway, while they tried to anticipate which way the buffalo would roam.

Officers eventually managed to maneuver the buffalo onto the tennis court about a mile from where they first were spotted. After that, they began herding them aboard a livestock truck.

Aw, aren't they cute? (I have a buffalo tattoo.)

There's something so wrong about seeing a small herd of Buffalo on a tennis court.

And here I thought that this would be a thread on Bill Murrey's portrayal of Hunter S. Thompson. But no, it's about actual buffalos roaming. Who would have thunk it. :)

But they left out the most important detail:

Who won the tennis game? If they rushed the pitch, it had to be somebody important.

I love when a real photograph looks like a creation of photoshop.

It's a good thing I'm not in charge of solving these kinds of problems.
 

I saw video of this on the evening news. I can't wait to see what the Daily Show has to say about this.

Unfortuantely, I will have to wait, since I don't get cable.

I jsut found a slide show that makes this all that much more entertaining to me..... I dont know why.
