I drove through Buffalo to see some friends while on my way to niagra falls for vacation after that we went to Toronto for a couple of days. Pretty awesome road trip.
Long story
This is one of those stories that has as many versions as there are Johnstonites, but I recall hearing what is purportedly the true, original story at the 1999 reunion. The original cry was "It is buffalo!" and relates to a piece of grafitti found in Bekins that said the same. I believe there was something about a dude dressed as a clown in the story, as well. Since then, of course, the cry has been shortened to "Buffalo," which makes it easy to find other Johnstonites in a crowd.

Although Claudia McCabe (also class of 2002) once said something at a GYST fire pit that I think truly represents the awesome power that is the Almighty Buffalo and why we identify so strongly with it. She said that buffalo instinctively know that the fastest way to get away from an incoming storm is not to try and outrun it. Instead the wise buffalo runs right through it.

it's all peter paul's fault
as I understand it, we identified with buffalos so strongly because Johnstonites, as freethinking individuals, were also a dying breed. I'm sure PP did not consciously intend this when he began the chant. He was probably just "riding the Tao"...as he liked to say. Oy.
it's all Peter Paul's fault.
huh. Here I thought it had something to do with the cafeteria's leftovers...
