x-treme bull
at the irish pub on st. patrick's day, the TVs were set to the always irish sport of "Xtreme Bulls."

erik and i, only 1 guinness down, were quickly hooked.

after much mockery and the people around us commenting on the darwin award-esque nature of the sport, i noticed that the bulls actually had names. one that stuck out was "diamond cutter."

erik thought this was a bit wussy, so we came up with a few more intimidating names.
- Family Dejeweler
- Manhood Eliminator
- Swimmer Killer

really, it was college humor at it's best. and all we really needed was a pint of guinness each.

on a sad note, some guy actually got his hand stuck in the handle thing, and was dragged around the still-bucking bull for a while. frankly, it's their own damn fault for tying their hands to the handle in the first place.
another guy fell off, and as he was standing up to run away, the bull came and head-butted him. in the butt. we laughed. the TV broadcast replayed this. we laughed. then a third time in slow motion. we laughed some more.

good times, good times.
