Cugalabanza Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 He wrote a book called "How to Survive the Running of the Bulls." The only way that's not a crappy book is if it's exactly one page long and on that page it says "stay home." Idiot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dibs Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Further irony would be that his book sales increase due to this publicity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way that's not a crappy book is if it's exactly one page long and on that page it says "stay home." Idiot! Two pages: Page 1: "Don't go to Pamplona" Page 2: "If you do go to Pamplona, run really really fast." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quester74 Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 (edited) I don't see the problem.. the book is titled, "How to survive the Bulls of Pamplona".. he survived. (Albeit with an extra orifice.) Edited July 9, 2014 by Quester74 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyst Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Has anyone here actually run with the Bulls? We have a pretty diverse community here, there must be someone... If you're serious I could tell you about some times I have had some bulls, steers and cows beat me up? Mm'k you are? Here goes... I had a cow in the chute last Fall. She was calm and normal and then decides to run forward pinning me against the wall. I jump up to keep from being trampled but end up pinned against the wall. She slams my hip against the wall and I end up with a deep purple bruise the size of a basketball on my ass, and a grapefruit sized welt on my hamstring. Two years ago I had to work on a steer. I had him in the headgate and a lariat around him to help stabilize him. This was a quick release lariat. He was bucking and moving all over as I tipped his horns. He breaks the headgate open and then runs around dragging the lariat. Eventually he calms and I walk the rope up to him and just as I go to grab the lariat to loosen it he breaks free again. My hand now underneath the lariat around his neck I am drug for 3 minutes around the barn lot by a bucking and running 800 lbs. steer. Eventually I get on my feet and get him around the neck to bring him down. I had a bull named 721. He was an !@#$. If he saw me he would come and chase me just because he didn't like me. I liked him because he was a good breeder and he was a good bull. It wasn't that he was aggressive, he just didn't like me. He liked everyone else. I was walking in the pasture and he gets a bug up his ass and chases me about 100 yards to a tree line. He did so with great pomp and circumstance. Throwing dirt up, grunting and putting his nose up. I was saved by climbing a tree and waiting 4 or 5 minutes until he walked off. He also one time caught me and bore me in to the ground with his head. My mom beat him off with a broom. Tom, you've never been out cow tipping? I find that to be right up your alley! Cow tipping is an urban legend, impossible and untrue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
