I Saw on TV!

I find myself oddly fascinated by “Professional” Bull Riding. Today on ESPN 900 or something, people actually climb up on a 1500lb animal that is zapped with a cattle prod, and have their testicles clipped with something that want NOTHING on them…

Then in what I can only determine as an arbitrary number have to stay on it for 8 seconds. 8 seconds, why 8 seconds? Is it because these bull riders can’t count that high? There are guys like Cleetus, and Cleedus, and Cleatus wrastlin the bulls, to win a top prize of $15,000.

Don’t get me wrong $15,000 for 8 seconds is excellent per hour wage (around $6,750,000/hr), but for jesus, risk my life for a top prize of $15K with a pissed off side steak under me? I think not.

But yet, I can’t stop staring at the tv, guys with chin implants, screws in the legs/arms/torso’s. I think its similar to why I like Gymnastics. I like to see people fall. Not because its funny….because its hilarious.
