Duplicate posting was a method in which cattle ranchers of the Old West would incorporate double posts and quadruple the wire in areas prone to bison stampedes. This practice fell from favor after the bison were thinned to facilitate the civilizing of wild savage Injuns. ---

Thin Bison, of Blawnox PA, started the Red Robin restaurant chain in 1968 with some financial support from his father, Thick Bison. ---

The original Red Robin Restaurant was investigated by Blawnox PA government officials on the claims that the “chicken” was really robin, the “beef” was really bison, and the “flounder” was really great white shark. After a few dozen free meals to really check it out, the inspectors said “It’s good food. Who cares?” ---

Orson Bean often asked the question, “What did the Buffalo say to his child when he left home?” To which Nipsey Russell would reply, “Bye, Son.” And then Dorothy Kilgallen would hit them both over the head with an inflated bladder. ---

In 1989 while working at the Allegheny Comedy Circuit (The Catskills of the Rust Belt), Nipsey Russell suffered from an overinflated bladder. Fortunately, he was rushed to the Heinz Campus of the University of Pennsylvania Hospital System where doctors were able to deflate it with a Cowfart puncher. ---

Lighting bovine flatulence and lighting bovine eructations, both rich in methane, are legal in Blawnox, but there is a statute forbidding lighting both at the same time. Said one lawmaker, “You can’t burn the cattle at both ends.” ---

Fart Lighting was presented to the International Olympic Committee for inclusion in the 1980 Summer Olympics. It was disavowed due to Fruit of the Loom cornering the market on uniforms which was challenged by Nike and thereafter tied up in court. ---

Fart lightning is a rare meteorological phenomenon which can occur when a thunderstorm passes over a methane processing plant. The sound is remarkably similar to a human fart, but much louder. It was first observed at the Orson Bean Natural Gas facility in Blawnox. Bean, who happened to be visiting the facility at the time, remarked “Is that what happens when God lights a fart?” ---
