the title explains the problem, now i need a solution
i thought about putting a bowl upside down in the bottom of the bucket to keep from siphoning the yeast and other crud at the bottom into the bottles. or perhaps an attachment of some sort for the end of the siphon?
does anyone have an idea or experience with this?
The yeast will make you fart for a while. Time is your solution.
There's nothing wrong with racking a little bit of yeast into secondary. The purpose of racking is to get the beer off that bed of yeast. In regards to bottling, you're going to have some yeast sediment in the bottles anyway, as a result of the natural carbonation. Don't worry about it.

The yeast actually comes from the yeast carbonating your beer. There is nothing you can do about it in the bottles other than to reduce the amount by careful siphoning as you suggested. However, there is one sure way to not drink the yeast, pour the beer out of the bottle into a glass immediately upon opening, the yeast should stay in the bottom if you don't try and pour the last drop from the bottle.

Don't pour out the entire contents of the bottle. Leave a 1/4 to a 1/2 inch of sediment in the bottom of the bottle. There's no way to get bottle free from yeast. The yeast are a result of the carbonation priming in the bottle. As for siphoning, most racking canes have a cap on the end to avoid sucking up sediments in the fermenter.
Just be careful drinking yeast as they love to convert sugars in your body. Their numbers will increase and will begin to ferment everything in your body. Thus you will be intoxicated all time. And since you'll be losing weight rapidly the alcohol they create will have a larger effect. Eventually your lungs won't be able to filter out the CO2 the yeast create in your blood and you will suffocate. The yeast will finish eating all of your flesh leaving nothing but alcohol bleeched bones.
Well, that explains what happened to Al Fresco!
