August 1, 2007: Goring at Pamplona
 
http://cellar.org/2007/pamplonagoring.jpg

The annual running of the bulls sometimes produces an IotD, and it certainly has here. bigw00dy finds this item, the full story here...

Quote:

A bull that broke from the pack seriously gored two American brothers, catching one on each of its horns during the running of the bulls festival in Pamplona, where both were recovering Friday in the hospital.

Lawrence and Michael Lenahan were gored simultaneously by the bull, which also injured 11 other people Thursday. It was the worst day for injuries in the nine-day festival.

"I started yelling at my brother to show him I was bleeding everywhere but he showed me he was bleeding everywhere," said Lawrence Lenahan, a 26-year-old Air Force captain from Hermosa Beach, Calif., in a telephone interview from his hospital bed.

He was gored in the buttocks, while Michael Lenahan, 23, of Philadelphia, was injured in his leg and was recovering well from surgery at the same hospital.
All I can say is

ow.

His leg got ƒucked, up.

Uisge Beatha 08-01-2007 11:19 AM

Damn, that's so nasty even I can't joke about it.

Almost. :D

Looks like he emulated the high heel race winner and tried to get a leg up on the competition.

Where's the simultaneous butt goring???

wolf 08-01-2007 12:39 PM

Was either of those Lenahan brothers the third miracle for the canonization of John Neuman? I know that was the family name of the kid ... couldn't be, though, they're too young, by a smidge.

Shawnee123 08-01-2007 12:39 PM

Yeah, a butt-goring would have been the icing on the ass, so to speak.

jinx 08-01-2007 01:02 PM

Unfortuanately, that Air Force captain is due for some consequences under the UCMJ...

When I look at that picture, I think, "Man, that would itch."

Doesn't it? Wouldn't that itch?

Michael Lenahan had recently overcome testicular cancer that had spread to his abdomen and the brothers were celebrating.
He did that without balls?!?

no but there's a scene very reminiscent of the clear outline of the horn under his skin. I won't spoil it. The movie was very entertaining. Recommended.

I think the picture shows another lucky contestant:

Another participant, Christopher Neiff, 24, of Norway, had the bull's horn tear into his shin and slide under the skin right up to his knee.

They penalize you for being a dumb-ass even on leave?

Aliantha 08-02-2007 05:19 AM

I've avoided looking at this thread for a couple of days now.

I wish I was still avoiding it.

morie 08-02-2007 06:17 AM

that's just awesome. would've been better if it had been more graphic, like with blood and guts all over the place. now he knows how bulls probably feel when people gore them with sharp implements in bullfights and the like. i'm not a fan of peta's running of the nudes, but neither am a fan of cruelty to animals. so he deserves it. way to go Bull!

I agree with Morie on this one. Nice to 'meet' you btw, welcome to the Cellar.

dar512 08-02-2007 09:33 AM

It's all fun and games until someone gets a knee poked out.

Shawnee123 08-02-2007 10:53 AM

lol @ dar.

I'm so amazed there hasn't been a post admonishing all of us who applaud the bull. Something about how we just don't understand, and we should feel bad for the guy. That is the usual knee-jerk (see what I did there? Knee? Jerk?) reaction.

:)

jinx 08-02-2007 10:58 AM

It's a cultural thing...

Shawnee123 08-02-2007 11:17 AM

Yeah, that. :lol:

Yes, I thought of that, too.

glatt 08-02-2007 03:01 PM

Somebody ought to come up with a saying about this. Something like "if you antagonize the bull, you will receive the horns." Hmmm...

Flint 08-02-2007 03:03 PM

..."don't make the bull angry, you wouldn't like him when he's angry" ???

Uisge Beatha 08-02-2007 03:06 PM

Tease the toro, heed the horns.

Flint 08-02-2007 03:08 PM

ba-zzzing!

We had a book when I was a kid, "Don't Tease the Weasel" (now I've told you twice; the weasel wouldn't like it, and teasing ins't nice ...)

Shawnee123 08-02-2007 03:11 PM

Those weasels are so temperamental. Always poppin', when the monkey thought twas all in fun.

Flint 08-02-2007 03:13 PM

Having a weasel pop you in the monkey isn't so bad...

Right on. Why have they been running with the bulls for hundreds of years? Because it's dangerous. The adrenaline rush, showing their bravery... and too drunk to think straight.

If nobody ever got hurt, there wouldn't be much point, so these brothers from the US have done their part to insure the tradition will continue.
Actually, the running is much more fair to the bulls than the bullfights later in the day.

Hoof Hearted 08-02-2007 05:40 PM

If you don't grab the bull by the horns, the bull will grab you with their horns!

Aliantha 08-02-2007 07:05 PM

Red Tshirt? $20
Running Shoes? $150
Keg of Beer? $100
Bull horn in the leg? Priceless!

For everything else, there's Mastercard.

You just might be on to something there glatt.

A horn in the knee is worth two in the butt?

xoxoxoBruce 08-02-2007 07:45 PM

Don't mess with horny males unless you want to be gored.

monster 08-02-2007 08:39 PM

Run the Bulls, Ruin the Balls

Hoof Hearted 08-02-2007 09:25 PM

Run the bulls, risk the balls...?

monster 08-02-2007 09:38 PM

Too wishy-washy. "Sayings" are always very definite about the dire consequences....

starve a cold feed a fever
spoil the child ruin the man

Sundae 08-04-2007 07:00 AM

If you run with the bulls you better have spare balls

DanaC 08-04-2007 10:39 AM

People with glass balls shouldn't run with bulls in a china shop......hmmm....I'll keep working on it.
