I was a bit taken aback by this curious choice in decoration. I'm usually pretty quick on the uptake, but certain things can slow me down quite a bit. So, I had a number of forces working to dull my cognitive abilities. What better place to hang a buffalo head than the bar in a hotel in a city called Buffalo.

Names are important.
And speaking of pains in the butt, The Artist Formerly Known as Prince recently announced that he is changing his name once again. From now on, we may once again refer to him by his original name, Prince. Presumably, the whole royalty motif got good to him again. Any English grammar textbook will tell you flat out that names, or nouns, describe a person, place or thing. I don't recall reading anything about extra points being awarded for making something sound more tasteful, desirable or impressive than it really is.
