Could it be the running of the bulls in Pamplona? The runners wear white with red scarves and belts. I see two men dressed that way in the pic. Al_in_Ottawa
The awful thing about 1 is that this is only the initial wounding. If real, I suspect the end wound will be really ugly as that horn is probably not going to withdraw in a tidy fashion.
I took my Brother in laws SR5 Taco for a lap of the Detroit GP racetrack right after the race. I was a SCCA corner worker and was trying to get back home before the rush. It was a brown 5 speed and I ran that lap like I was qualifying. Greatest drive around the RenCen ever. Truck broke in half in their driveway a few years later.
The town I used to live in CA had a large Portugee population. In the early 80's, they decided to build themselves a bull ring. With much fanfare, we anticipated the first match. Unfortunately, by the time they brought the bull out, we were all so drunk and rowdy that I think the bull was the only one who didn't get hurt. Ah, sweet memories!
#5 March friday the thirteenth 70. Home from Nam about five months. I was a passenger in a car with two other crazy Nam Vets also just home. We hit a quarry stone bridge head on. Broke both my legs. Six inches of crush bone in the left, two breaks in the right. Casts from toes to groin. I rode a iron pony, wheelchair, for a long time. Not a great day as I recall.
Driver, my brother in law, right leg broke, several ribs and all front teeth knocked out. Passenger door, I was in the middle, he had a broken left leg, front teeth gone and 134 stictches in his head. So, four broken legs in a row. It was a 66 Dodge Coronet. All of us fresh from Nam. Driver died from booze about ten years ago. He just started gushing out blood one day and was dead shortly after. My other buddy stroked out twenty years ago and hasn't been able to speak since. Some paralysis on one side, can't remember if he is a left or right hemi. I haven't seen him in thirty or more years. We grew up together. We were heavy on the booze and dope. I put the shit down thirty plus years ago. More than you asked for I'm sure.

No pity for #s 1, 4 & 8
ReplyDeleteI was wondering if the car belonged to some guy who thought that the no parking signs didn't apply to him.
DeleteStonyground.
#1 - FAFO...
DeleteNo sympathy for people who get gored by bulls trying to look tough.
Delete10:46 - the guy that gored is in the stands just in case you didn't notice.

Good point, Al. If that's the case the dumb fuck deserved what he got.

Delete#10 - It was hard for corporate to argue against a recall for rusted Toyota Tacoma frames when pictures like this started coming in from dealerships.
ReplyDeletemy 79 20R did the same thing after 10 years....frame just broke right behind the cab..you would think they would learn

I watched a bull fight once. Now I always root for the bull to win.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, the fix is in. The picadors cut muscles in the bull's neck so it can't properly defend itself.
DeleteNot always. You should check out Portuguese bloodless bullfighting. I've been to a few of them when I was in California and they're pretty exciting.

Delete#6 & #10 - Talk about structural failure! I have to wonder if both might have been cause by corrosion or having overloaded a time or three.
ReplyDelete#7 Just them getting us ready to eat all bugs like they want us to. :0(
ReplyDelete#10- Well there's the problem- they forgot to lock the bed hinge- an easy fix-
ReplyDelete#1- I'm curious about what the next 10 seconds looked like- not a pretty sight-
ReplyDeleteNO thank goodness my Monday hasn't looked anything like these
