those bulls...

well, the Spanish festival, the Running of the Bulls, is coming to an end this tuesday. after a long week of brazen morons running wildly through the streets with 1500 lb. bulls, the town of Pamplona will have to look elsewhere for brainless entertainment. what will they do...and how should they go about it?

may i suggest:

peeing on an electric fence...such a good ol' pastime!
playing baseball IN THE NUDE...with mandatory sliding into all bases...tape 'those' body parts down!
and my favorite...riding a bucking chainsaw...two rounds to the final...hope you make the cut!

you know, i understand the longstanding tradition and the religious slant of this event...but what are you setting out to prove? that you can fall with the best of em' while you're getting stomped by something that outweighs you by more than a thousand pounds? or that your flesh is as fork (horn) tender than the confused bulls? you surely jest! i wonder if there are some that even drink to get their courage up...that's brilliant! watch me stumble...watch me fall...watch it gore me into a meatball!

one of these days, i would love to travel to Spain to experience this event, but only as a spectator. and if i had an extra two months after that (or at least six weeks), i'd very much like to partake in another Spanish tradition, La Tomatina...now THAT sounds cool!
