Looks like a fairly honorable goring to me, and the chicks will dig the scars. There's been two or three cases of guys getting it straight up the butt  I never thought of that point! The guy below isn't going to pick up many chicks by showing them the scar that resulted from the goring below. ![[Linked Image]](http://d2tq98mqfjyz2l.cloudfront.net/image_cache/1337964187291571.jpg) On the other hand, if he is gay, it might be just the right ice breaker: "Wanna see my bullfighting scar?" John The caption under that pic got a laugh out of me.

Ah, sorry! Here is the other photo I tried to link in my first post (but obviously failed). This shows why I root for the bull at least... ![[Linked Image]](http://americanlivewire.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/bullfighter.jpg) John Rough day at the office...

I seem to recall the story when that happened - that doctors described the injuries as "horrendous"

A testament to the power cell phones have in our lives. Dang bull has a horn buried in the guy's spleen and he continues to hold on to his cell phone.

I thought that they blunted the bulls' horns in that particular contest, but it seems not. A the photo below shows, at least the bozo on question seems to be getting a nice close up on his camera phone!  ![[Linked Image]](http://global.fncstatic.com/static/managed/img/U.S./spainbull.jpg) John I have known this guy's family for over 25 years. He was a HS valedictorian, football player, from a strong Christian family. Quite a quiet and respectful man; probably the last person I would think likely to get this particular 15 minutes of fame. We have offered airline miles to the family so that one of the parents can go bring him home. I will have to ask Patrick how he kept his phone. I watched the video of the incident and the bull merely flicked his head at Patrick as he ran by--almost so fast you don't see it happen. I don't think he even had time to think about dropping it.

My Dad was stationed at Zaragoza and had a Hemingway phase, but as a Nebraska farm kid, never was crazy or stupid enough.
I "manage" some Corriente roping stock these days, they are good cows but I ALWAYS pay attention. Hookem Horns is for Texas football, not for me.
There is one yearling bull in the herd right now, he is going to be a fine bull. You should see his horns already and what he does to pillowcases and old T-shirts.

I did some day player work on a project that involved a number of fighting bulls.. they kept them in a tarped off pen when not working. Just the sight of a person pissed them the [bleep] off.
Scary critters, but I still root for them. Especially when they're [bleep] up drunk australians .
I replace valve cover gaskets every 50K, if they don't need them sooner...

It's too bad there wasn't a camera rolling, when the landowner drove me around. We come around a corner, and I see the Corrientes, and say, "ahhhh...what...kind...of...cattle...are...those?"

�It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.� Teddy Roosevelt
I ran this year, my 50th on the planet. This quote pretty well sums up my feelings on running with the bulls.

Perry Oh, I understand, even though I've no desire to run with bulls. I do hope to visit this young lady again this year. She'll be 2 years older, than when this pic was taken: ![[Linked Image]](http://i712.photobucket.com/albums/ww127/tex_n_cal/5mooldtiger.jpg)

PWN,
That sums it up nicely. No real point in having balls after all unless you are going to use them...for something.

The Roosevelt quote can explain the runnings I guess, but I was always partial to the John Wayne quote:
"Life is tough, but it's much tougher when you're stupid."
