In Case You Missed it…Social Media has been lit up over a 65-year-old-man, Carl Isom-McDaniel, who was flipped up over eight feet by an angry Bison in Yellowstone Park on July 10th.
And it was caught on film by a photographer who was close by.
McDaniel, who was tossed into the air like a rag doll, insists that he did not provoke the Bison and found out that (in his words) “they are much faster than you think.”
And while this has no effect on the markets in any way shape or form, it makes for great theater/entertainment especially in the form of Memes.
Not surprisingly, we have another regular contributor to our Saturday Rant (MemeRANT4U) with us today with some entertaining memes to commemorate the impromptu rodeo antics of a Grandpa who literally got on the wrong side of a Buffalo.
The stage is yours MR4U.

Hi James. I don’t have to ask if you have seen the pics and memes about the old dude in Yellowstone Park who was assaulted and flipped up in the air by a huge male Bison.
Because the social media coverage has made the grandpa’s episode with the Bison viral.
The good news is he didn’t sustain a lot of serious injuries. And surprisingly he has a great sense of humor about it and comes across quite candid about it in interviews.
In fact, he actually said he’s not mad at the Big Bull, who he believes was hopped up on testosterone seeing how this was mating season…and it could have been a lot worse.
Right after it happened, the Meme Lords brought it to life as a parody to skate boarders.
And that photo/meme opened the floodgates for more memes ranging from political events, historical American Indian references, and venues comparing it to gun control freaks.
The fact that this old guy can laugh at himself over what could have been a disaster in his life gives me hope that, despite all the haters out there, people with a sense of humor are still around.
And we certainly could use a lot more of them.
BTW, here’s the actual shot of him getting flipped…Ouch!
