Hold On Tight, Cowboy, That Bull’s a Thoroughbred

Strange as it might seem at first blush, I really enjoy watching Professional Bull Riders - Hel, I enjoy watching the amateurs, too! It's an ancient sport, and I'm glad to see it's made a comeback - much more humane and enjoyable than so called "bull fighting", which is just an euphemism for "bull killing". No sport in that.

Bull breeders are transforming what started as a back-pasture hobby into a multimillion-dollar industry.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
