Oh! Okay, now it makes more sense. 300 meters of steel pushed the BS meter to the red line. Thanks jacknhoo.

I saw a real bullfight in Monterrey, Mexico as a kid, it is pretty twisted, I think the Eiffel Tower is a more positive image.

That would be nice. But it will never happen.

I remember a line from a movie I don’t remember it’s name but the line “I like to go to bullfights on acid” was funny.

But I digress....

Interesting idea but there is always a chance that the persistent animal torture would make for negative feelings if it is good acid, if that doesn’t happen, then a bullfight could be a very other world experience while high.

wouldn’t mind seeing this one, but not going to Vegas to see it.

"a colossal metal bull, at least 300 meters tall" That's a lot of bull.

A bad picture of a tacky, trashy looking graffiti covered sign... In the shape of a bull

Head line fixed...

I am 63 years old. I would like to make the run with the bulls when I turn 65.

I guarantee you'll have a LOT more fun visiting Hayward, WI instead of going to Spain!

The last famous bovine statue didn’t fare too well, and neither did the people who made it. (see Exodus 32)
