1. Hell yeah!

Im doing it next year if possible. Ill be coming back from a year in China so Ill fly West and stop in Spain/Morocco. Definitely gotta run with the bulls!

[demnan]

2. No, unless

I can play the part of one of the bulls and gore some asshole in the ass.

[calico1]

5. Ditto.

An idiot can get gored. However, all the bulls end up as steaks and roasts after the event.

7. did you see that guy catch it this year?

*doh* he got busted somethin fierce. Good for the bull, I say.

[Hell Hath No Fury]

13. I'm with you!

Every year I always root for the bulls.

Some folks stupidly thing that the running of the bulls is all there is, the whole purpose of the event, not that they are being run to a bullring to their deaths.

It's fucking savage.

Vivo El Toros!

3. I have no intention of attending the Republican Convention

4. You kidding?

I may be dumb, but I'm not stupid. Running with the bulls makes as little sense as bull-fighting.

6. I'll never tell.

8. There's 2 ways to do it....

Most people think you stand in place, see the bulls start running towards you and Then you start running.

Then there is the truly certifiable way: You Run Towards the bulls as they are being let loose, decide how close you want to get to your mortality then turn and run in front of the bulls. :crazy:

9. I did it in 1996

A friend was doing a semester in Europe and after school got out, we met up and did the backpack through Europe thing. We ran with the bulls. I was so scared I almost lost bladder control. Oh my god, the bulls are HUGE. One got within inched of my as I lep onto a small wall lining the street whcih was already full of people. I also ran behind one and patted its ass as it flew by me. I loved it. It was exciting and something I will always remember. I would do it again, but I'd have to get back into the physical shape I was in during the college years. I don't think I'm willing to eat Mac & Cheese and Rama Noodles and drink two cases of Natural Light a week again.

Short answer, it was great and I'd love to do it again.

10. No thanks

To quote Al Bundy, I prefer to die just a little every day. Rather than all at once.

11. Did it in '92

[DS1]

12. Sure, I'd rent a box van and drive in the front. Then hit the brakes.

~then~ and only then, it would truly suck to be slow :evilgrin:

[jukes]

14. bullfighting

won't have any part of it. it's cruel & grotesque.

[southpaw]

15. Culturally endorsed Machismo...

No thanks! I don't need to participate in such a senseless and barbaric spectacle in order to feel "manly" :eyes:

[devilgrrl]

16. I love watching the bulls trample the idiots running

I especially love it when they gore someone in the ass. :evilgrin:

[RebelOne]

17. You would have to have a death wish to do it.

[Bridget Burke]

18. Nope. Testosterone deficiency here!

I wouldn't mind watching from a safe place, though. Preferably from a balcony with a table to hold the wine bottle & snacks.....
