  • Even given this, I'd still rather be the human beings than the bulls in this wonderful circus of death. I suspect their injuries can't be repaired with a single operation.

    I bet it doesn't seem like such a laugh now. :(
    Fair play to the guy holding on to its tail! Not a lot of "stopping it" going on, but 10/10 for effort, not to mention bravery.! :shock:

    Quite clever of the bull to stand on his trackies to stop him running away, don't you think?
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    what an @rse, darwin award almost.
    Goes out of his way to wind the bull up and then screams for help when the bull turns out to be cleverer than him :D:D
    All lies and jest..still a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest....

    You just know that a newspaper article containing the phrases 'American tourist' and 'bull running festival' in the title isn't going to end well. Wonder if he'll try to sue?

    I'd happily defend the bull with consent as the unbeatable defence. :lol:

    So Mr Fat Yank, your lying on your back, trousers around the ankles and your legs apart in the air and at the point of penetration one could describe your facial expression as one of enjoyment?

    Further I'd counter sue for damaging the bulls neck muscles launching the pie eater as it's a well known fact Italians are adept at running away WW 2 or paying the Taliban not to attack their troops on deployment. Having a fat slow moving yank messed up the demographic and outcome.

    It brings life to the expression "tearing someone a new one".

    As half an Italian I must say I'd be very good at running away given the circumstances. To be fair I'm pretty sure the English half of me would be doing a fair job of keeping up too. Although this is purely hypothetical as none of me is stupid enough to go on a bull run.

    But then your birth year suggests you are no spring chicken and fall into the headline demographic..... :wink:

    :oops: Ok, can't deny that. But whilst I have been that young, I don't think I was ever that foolish.
