BUFFALO FAQ's
Who is the Buffalo?
If you stand for justice and are committed to sticking it to the proverbial man than you can rest assured the Buffalo is your friend. If, however, you are out to enslave your fellow man by imposing upon them the rigid bonds of conformity, I would advise you watch your back. Most likely, the Buffalo will gore and trample you and your Hummer.
How can the Buffalo help me?
In the realm of MySpace, "Top Friends" have proved to be a troublesome concept. Millions of people’s feelings have been affected (regardless of how petty it may seem) by their placement or lack thereof on their various acquaintances "Top Friends" lists. The Buffalo aims to eliminate this problem.
Has the Buffalo made a difference?
Many of you will remember that MySpace in its infancy did not allow you to choose who your "Top 8" was. The Buffalo gored numerous technical geeks until this was changed. Though you were then able to order your "Top 8" you were still restricted to displaying eight "friends" on your page. The Buffalo trampled Tom's car until this was remedied. These days, the Buffalo has his eyes set on Rupert Murdoch. The day you open your newspaper to find that Mr. Murdoch has died you will know that the Buffalo has completed his mission.
Can I communicate with this glorious creature?
Due to the recent spam explosions throughout MySpace the Buffalo has had to cut back on his communication with his accomplices (who he refers to as Buffalo Soldiers). Logging into twelve MySpace profiles is difficult for someone with hooves, so the best way to communicate with him is through the Two Words band page. The Buffalo likes their revolutionary sound (or lack of one).
If I am not a Buffalo Soldier how do I become one?
To enlist in the Buffalo Army you must visit the 12 different profiles that contain the Buffalo's parts and add him as a... ahem... "friend". After that you are an official revolutionary.
Does the Buffalo have the most refined taste of music on earth?
Why how kind of you to say so. Most of what passes for popular music in ‘Merica deserves a good Buff-a-puke. Here are some noisemakers that make an effort and deserve your allegiance…
The Buffalo recommends:
"Two Words"
Music is best when it’s about change.
Rhetoric?
Yes. Lots.
How can I help the Buffalo?
Brag about your MySpace to your friends and how it is clearly superior since it does not resort to ranking human beings. That's what Hitler did.
Does the Buffalo have an important message to share with the masses?
Yes: Moo.
Thank you.
Who I'd like to meet: God.
The President.
Then God again.
