Expect the horns....:

Quote:

The running of the bulls in Pamplona, Spain at the Festival of San Fermin lasts for eight days. Each morning at 8 a.m., six fighting bulls are released as hundreds of people run alongside of them for about a half mile. It is obviously very dangerous.

Today, three people were gored by the bulls, and three others were taken to the hospital with injuries according to the AP. An American tourist was gored in the stomach and had his spleen removed, a Spanish man was gored in the arm, and another 31-year-old Spanish man was gored twice in the groin and once in the leg.

This is a series of photos of the 31-year-old Spanish man being gored three times. He was rushed to the hosptial and underwent emergency surgery. Javier Sesma, hopital chief told the AP "The injuries are not as serious as one would have expected on seeing the televised footage," and none of the injured taken to the hospital are in serious condition.

WARNING: As you scroll, the images get VERY graphic.

THAT'S gonna leave a mark!!

...as well as people with squeamish stomachs.

Hence the warning. Posted no differently than the public newspaper site it's quoted from.

I said that because the pics temporarily transformed me into a squeamish little girl

Waiting for someone to interject with "Temporarily?"

That would be a nasty tear if the bull gave him a head twisting rag-doll treatment, hopefully it was just the pushing and goring.

Well this proves the saying. "You mess with the bull you get the horns!"

A Texan is visiting Mexico. He arrives at a small town which has a bullring. He goes into a restaurant for dinner and finds a table.
While waiting for a waiter to bring him a menu he notices the fellow at the next table eating his meal with immense enjoyment. So when the waiter comes, the Texan waves off the menu and asks the waiter to bring him the same dish that the fellow at the next table is eating. The waiter tells him that that particular dish is served only once each evening and the fellow at the next table is already eating it.
The Texan is disappointed and orders something else but asks the waiter to save that dish for him for the next evening. The waiter promises.
The Texan arrives the next evening and is warmly greeted by the waiter who tells him that the dish has been saved for him as promised. The dish is served---the Texan eats it and finds it truly delicious.
When the check is presented, the Texan tells the waiter how much he enjoyed it, but he asks why the portion was so much smaller than the portion the previous night.
The waiter replies "You must know, Senor, that sometimes the bullfighter he no always win"

You ever notice that every year when you see pictures of these people getting mauled by the bulls, their pants are always around their ankles, what is the reason for this?

And as for the people who actually run with the bulls, what a bunch of maroons.

Unfortunately, all runners have retained their ability to procreate.

Chernobyl Ant · #12 07-13-2013, 12:52 PM

Every time I hear about this event I just think how idiotic people are to actually go participate in it.

Pincherguy · #13 07-13-2013, 12:56 PM

That is going to be one big oweeeeeee.

You have a definite point there. Does Spain lack adequate belt and waistband technology? Should the rest of the globe (North American ghettos excluded) embark on a program to not only teach Spain about pant retention, but educate their engineers on the matter.

I think I see Santiago Calatrava in one frame! He should invite Alederwoman Drew out for a jog next year, a popular gag to play on the tourista is where the locals distract them and tie their shoelaces together.

Yeah, just because a guy does something you see is stupid is a perfect reason to be nearly killed.

tbiddy · #17 07-13-2013, 02:14 PM

Rectum? Damn near killed him!

calgarychef · #18 07-13-2013, 03:45 PM

Sure it's stoopid, but what a rush when you're almost ready to get it and you evade a goring by some little piece of luck. If I could run I'd do that any day

hillbillyreefer · #19 07-13-2013, 03:45 PM

I'm sure he knew the risks going in!

Those are some cool pics, true monuments to stupidity.

I wonder what the animal rights protests look like at that festival?
