BROTHERLY BONDING

Remind me to never go to Spain in mid-July.  Ever!  The photo above was taken at the San Fermin festival in Pamplona, a nine-day event of partying, running and gorging:  This from AP:

A bull that broke from the pack seriously gored two American brothers, catching one on each of its horns during the running of the bulls festival in Pamplona, where both were recovering Friday in the hospital.

“I started yelling at my brother to show him I was bleeding everywhere but he showed me he was bleeding everywhere,” said Lawrence Lenahan, a 26-year-old Air Force captain from Hermosa Beach, Calif., in a telephone interview from his hospital bed

The San Fermin festival in Pamplona, renowned for its all-night street parties, dates back to 1591. It gained worldwide fame in Ernest Hemingway’s 1926 novel “The Sun Also Rises.”

Since records began being kept in 1924, 13 people have been killed in the runs. The last fatality, a 22-year-old American, occurred in 1995.   [SOURCE]

Man, that bull is a damn good marksman.  And efficient.  Two asses with one stone?  Right on the bulls-eye!  Or should I say ‘brown-eye’?  Nothing better than spending some quality time with your bro gorged in the ass, I say!

[…] I used to be a fan of the big guy, but this Mule could do without a bull-run, a bull-rink, or bull-shitting with these beasts.   Not like catchin’ a foul ball at the old ballpark now is it…. […]
