August 1, 2007: Goring at Pamplona

Undertoad · 08-01-2007, 10:43 AM

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.

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

Almost.

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

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.

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.
