Long before you were born, back in the dark days before the Internet, people would entertain themselves with amusements called "TV shows." Many of the things that now are believed by some to have "come off the Internet" were actually first presented to the world as part of these ancient TV shows. The origins of many of these cultural gems are obscure, but in this case the source is known to be a line by the character Cliff Clavin from the TV show Cheers. How do we know this? Not from memory --- the brain cells containing that information were long ago killed off by drinking beer and sniffing AP residue! We know it because of the Internet! Full circle!

Cliff was a classic barfly know-it-all BS artist, and this buffalo theory of his is typical of the kind of thing he would talk about on the show. Back in the day, some of my friends said I reminded them of Cliff, which I did not appreciate. But he was a great character, and he was played by John Ratzenberger, who you may know as Hamm from Toy Story, Mack from Cars, or Yeti from Monsters University. Ratzenberger has really found his niche as a voice in Pixar movies, and that may be because he has a face for animation.
