Should I start riding bulls again?

[Wetzelbill]

Yes, I used to ride bulls, but I got much smarter and retired many years ago. Yet, nearly every year I either contemplate trying it again or somebody tries to prod me out of retirement. I would love to, but I like my new safer lifestyle too.

So what do you think?

1. I didn't vote because I didn't find this answer:

"No, because the world needs you alive and able to fight the good fight more than you need to ride bulls again."

:hug:

[Wetzelbill]

2. you could use your journalism skills in the arena again

:evilgrin: :rofl:

[Heidi]

4. I'm doing more to fight the good fight

as an artist and consultent than I ever did for it from within the confines of the newsroom. :)

[Wetzelbill]

5. didn't you get chased by a bull once?

or something like that. :)

[Heidi]

9. I got hooked by a bull on my left arm,

followed by a round of very painful tetanus shots. :scared: _Never again_.

[Wetzelbill]

11. yeah

not exactly the funnest thing there is.

I once got steamrolled by one. He bucked me off and as soon as I hit, I knew he was coming for me. I got up to run and after about 3 steps he just plowed me. But that was it. It was kind of like I just got tackled really hard, it was actually fun. I've been hooked a few other times a little worse though. Not good. :)

15. But hey, we've _both_ got impressive scars

and war stories. ;)

[Wetzelbill]

16. this is true

at least I have never gotten shot while quail hunting. Not yet anyway. :)

3. Absolutely you should. You would could blow the "liberals are wimps"...

...myth by riding the bulls again. You could also wear a "W" sucks patch on the side of your jeans, which would give our message exposure. Also, all the cute groupies would love you. Go for it!

[Heidi]

6. Anyone who believes liberal men are wimps

hasn't know nearly as many liberal men as I have. :blush:

[Robeson]

13. I know they're not, and you know they're not, but rightwing....

...propaganda is very effective in this country. Believe me, I still live here.

[Wetzelbill]

7. I can prove that we are crazy too

I used to think the cute groupies thing was a good idea, until I realized how difficult it is to get laid when you are injured, lol. :)

8. If that's what you want to do, then I say

go for it!

[Wetzelbill]

10. I think some people here are trying to get rid of me

:)

[SeattleGirl]

12. No way, dude!

I'm just saying, live the life you want!

I have decided to do just that!

[Wetzelbill]

14. so maybe I should become a pornstar.... or a ballerina

I have said too much. :)

[SeattleGirl]

17. Not at all

Be anything you want to be, my friend.

[Robeson]

18. Well, you're probably to banged up, and to old to begin a ballet career...

...but if you wrap that rascal, and can still "perform", than go for it! Follow your dreams!!!:headbang:
