I’ve been in my Briar Patch (research pile) this week. I thought my readers would enjoy this story…

Early Days in Meers, OK history

1901…On the list of wild animals in Meers, OK (located in the Wichita Wildlife Refuge), was included an animal called a Biff Bulger that evolved when local boys told a naïve stranger that “he was a medium-sized animal with two short legs on the left side and two long legs on the right side… he always walked with his short legs on the higher side of the path. He has a flat tail with which he throws rocks—his only method of defense.” The stranger was fascinated. From then on, when the locals heard a farfetched story, it was called “just a Biff Bulger”.
