Bull Run To Get Better

Hm. Really looks like fun eh? There is nothing quite like having wine (which has got be about 75 degrees) squirted in your mouth and then being trampled by an animal weighing in the tons and then most likely having to spend the night in your sleeping bag on soggy grass surrounded by pissed animal rights activists.

Yep, the annual running of the bulls is in full effect. So far the casualty report looks low with no gorings yet but some hospitalizations. Oh, and a bull with a broken horn (owwwww).

A correspondent from the field reports:

Stained and smelling of alcohol, Simon Hulett, 21, from Melbourne, said he was just warming up.

"It's been the best four hours of my life, and it's only going to get better."

Of course we could be wrong. Schweet Simon, a hella crunk high five to you.
