"If you are going to be stupid, you better be tough."
Nate McCord just sent me this story from Out West, (MSWord document) and it's frightening, yet somehow the guy manages to make it sound humorous.

Posted by: Terry Oglesby at June 11, 2007 09:54 AMI've had close encounters with the bison on Antelope Island myself while mountain biking but luckily I wasn't blocking some bull's one-way out path. And I avoided being trampled. The excitement of coming around a corner and discovering a small herd all looking at me suspiciously did spike my adrenaline for a good long time the rest of that day.
We've chased an agitated badger out of his hidey-hole out there at Antelope Island too some years back.
Like I said before, Utah's no place for sissies.

Just be glad I don't ever use "LOOK! A WILD BUFFALO!"
