    Like I said, no broncos, so no barebacking...

    Bring a gun. The bull might have one. Better safe than sorry.

    Not too many rodeos available here. Is there any argument against them on animal welfare/cruelty grounds? I never was near any when in the states but probably would have visited for the craic had there been.

    Ride 'em cowboy. Watch out for those brokeback guys!

    I met a pro-rodeo rider recently, he told me about the time he spent three hours drinking at the bar after a rodeo with a dislocated hip. His friends told him not to worry about being unable to walk.

    He also died in an ambulance after being kicked in the head, they restarted his heart, gave him emergency brain surgery and he was back riding the next season.

    He once broke his arm directly under the shoulder and went two days without getting it set thinking it was just dislocated. The pain in trying to have people pop it back in was what sent him to the hospital.

    I asked him how he gets health insurance, his answer "I don't tell em I'm a pro rider"

    No, but I'd say it's good fun in a very "Texan" sort of way! Will there be trucks, lots of trucks, six-shooters and barbecued meat-slabs with extra cholesterol?

    We don't talk about Texans around here...trying to drag New Mexico into the Civil War was not easily forgotten.

    It is New Mexico so there will be Indians, Navajo Tacos, Corn Dogs, Green Chile Stew, Green Chile Burritos, and Green Chile icecream. There will be lots of guys who look like the band in Breaking Bad.

    That'll do. Enjoy! :cool:

    I missed the opportunity at my first rodeo to wear a shirt that said "This isn't my first rodeo"


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,117 ✭✭✭Rasheed


    Well isn't it well for ya!

    I, on the other hand, will be freezing my tail end at a ladies match on a hill in a storm tonight.

    Enjoy!

    That fcukin "Splithole Mountain" or whatever its called is the worst film I ever watched.

    Isn't a Rodeo where you call your woman by another name while you're 'At It', and see how long you can stay on for?

    I LOVE them. Been to a few in Florida and I really enjoy them. Even got a Stetson the last time I was there, quite expensive but I love it.

    I went to my first one when I was 10, I chased after the little bulls with a ribbon on their tails. Kids that got a ribbon won a prize and had to announce to everyone where they were from.

    Went last year and my son done the same :) The screams from the crowd when you say Ireland is amazing.

    I would go every week if I lived there.

    Anytime I hear broke back I think of this

    Reminds me of another joke I heard a few years back -


    For many years Kate Murphy had run the fruit and vegetable stall in the town market and she'd learned to have an answer for any situation. So there she stood, watching the big Texan who was poking around the stall. 'Hey, what are these?' he asked. 'Apples,' said Kate. 'Apples?' laughed the Yank. 'Why, in Texas we have apples twice that size! And what are these?' "Those are potatoes,' said Kate. 'Potatoes? Where I come from, bragged the Texan, our potatoes are twice as big at least,' Just then he picked up a cabbage, but before he could speak Kate said: 'If you're not buying Brussels sprouts, you'd best be putting that down.'

    On-topic - A couple of years back around the same time as the line dancing craze (remember that?) swept across Ireland, they were followed by bars hiring mechanical bulls for the night, great sport when you were too ossified to know better and woke up with pains in places you never knew you had the next morning! :D

    Round these parts that is practically a floor show. You'd be amazed at how some of the girls that show up to ride these are dressed. The operators are funny too, a dorky guy gets thrown off in .04 sec, an easy on the eye girl gets a four minute ride :)

    Maybe Europeans shouldn't go to rodeos...
