Buffalo justice...

I was walking around D.C. and noticed the buffalo outside the attorney general's office. Who knew? Scotty, I guess.

On a holiday night? It's like playing where's Waldo.

@Wolfpack actually was in October

Waldo is hidden well.

I don't see him.  
I'm scared.

The Buffalo runs submerged and undetected until time to make the presence known.  When that happens the earth temporarily has a slight shift on its axis but once the shock wears off all is stable again...and the forum moves on.

No one knows my friend. The buffalo is quite elusive. He can remain hidden and unseen even in wide open areas. His strike is quick and his wrath is swift. It can come with or without warning. 
He roams freely among us, both seen and unseen. It's just his nature.

It's a spirit animal

So what really happened with the buffalo nickle?

So what really happened with the buffalo nickle?

 In 1911, Taft administration officials decided to replace Charles E. Barber's Liberty Head design for the nickel, and commissioned Fraser to do the work. They were impressed by Fraser's designs showing a Native American and an American bison. The designs were approved in 1912, but were delayed several months because of objections from the Hobbs Manufacturing Company, which made mechanisms to detect slugs in nickel-operated machines. The company was not satisfied by changes made in the coin by Fraser, and in February 1913, Treasury Secretary Franklin MacVeaghdecided to issue the coins despite the objections.

Despite attempts by the Mint to adjust the design, the coins proved to strike indistinctly, and to be subject to wear—the dates were easily worn away in circulation. In 1938, after the expiration of the minimum 25-year period during which the design could not be replaced without congressional authorization, it was replaced by the Jefferson nickel, designed by Felix Schlag.

This stuff has a piece of Central European bison grass in it. Apparently the FDA isn't fond of the grass therefore you can't buy this in the US.

@DoubleEgger weird! I want it.

Vodka is a sport in Poland

@DoubleEgger looking at the yellowish tint makes me think it doesn't just have grass a bison walked on in it.

Go for the full Polish experience. They only shoot vodka. No mixers. It's rude to turn down a shot. It just doesn't happen. Our food tour guide said that the rule of thumb for weddings and special events was a half liter vodka per person.
