Hi! everyone! Wah! I missed all the fun because of the thunderstorms. I am REALLY tired of rain. We've only had one dry day in two months. ENOUGH ALL READY!

I need a super gigantic large cherry root beer, please. Oh, the cats would like 4 catnip teas on ice too.

Anything good to eat today? Onion rings to start, please?

Good afternoooon everyone! Just got back from lunch break and I am trying one of Dairy Queen's new frozen coffee drinks. They are really delicious. And what are those mocha things they're referring to? My drink is mocha, as well.

Is that the one they are selling with the commercial where the lady hits the door????

Funny commercial!

And across the pond.

PAMPLONA, Spain - Four people — including two Americans — were gored Friday during the running for the bulls at this year’s San Fermin festival, officials said.

The third day’s run also was marred by injuries to at least five other participants. In the two previous days of the popular festival, there have been no serious injuries.

John Doyle, 22, of Dunwoody, Ga., was gored in the groin and would probably be hospitalized for a day or two, said Dr. Wilfredo Soler of Virgen del Camino Hospital.

The other injured American was a 22-year-old man from Louisiana who was gored in the left knee, Soler said. The American requested that his name not be disclosed.

The worst injured was Juan Vallbona Serra, 23, of Sabadell, Spain, who was struck by a bull, which then fell on him. As he struggled free, two other bulls hit him in the back and side, lifting him into the air.

He suffered a 6-inch gash in his right thigh, said Begona Lopez, a spokeswoman for Pamplona City Hall.

A 58-year-old Spaniard was gored in the left forearm, according to news reports.

Runners were knocked off their feet, trampled or pushed against barricades all along the 900-yard route on narrow cobblestone streets from a corral to a bullring.

The bulls — one weighing 1,300 pounds — charged out of the corral faster Friday than on preceding days, with several going off on their own rather than lumbering along as a pack.

There were so many runners that it seemed impossible for the bulls to squeeze through the crowd. But the mass of people — moving just a little faster than the bulls — repeatedly parted just in time to let the animals pass safely through.

About a dozen bulls — some docile, some bred for fighting — tried to avoid hitting the runners and appeared to concentrate on staying upright as their hooves clattered along the uneven, slippery cobblestone.

Most made it to the bullring about 2½ minutes after the start of the run. But two had to be coaxed into the ring and the run didn’t officially end until about four minutes after the beasts charged out of the corral.

The festival is dedicated to Pamplona’s patron saint.

I don't know if I've seen that commercial or if I did, I just didn't put it to memory. But, I did learn of these from one of their commercials. I feel sorry for those bulls. I think the runners got what was coming to them. All the bulls get killed in the end in a bull fight.

Emphasis on how BIG the animals were...umm Im sorry if you piss off a 1,300 lb animal you DESERVE to at least get stepped on!

I worked on the custodial staff for a bull riding event and was scared even to go near the bulls! They just LOOK hostile. Until one rider said just to go up and pet one...and I did! I don't understand why someone would want to annoy such a gentle critter. In fact, some of the riders told me that some bulls are like dogs and follow people around .

Explain to me again why people like irritating them? Most of them arent that natively hostile. Dad says he's had COWS that were more of a problem then some of the bulls were.

Maybe they should have a running of the cows event. No pointy horns but if you get stepped on the effect is just about the same.

I've been sleeping with the electric blanket turned on for the last week. I don't have air conditioning, it's just that cold, what with the window fan on and all! I've never seen such a cool July.
Alas, that will change tomorrow when our heat index will be around 110 or 115. Talk about going from the freezer to the oven!

Gosh, Mario, looks like you and I are the only ones here. Lets have a drink and play some cards! No cheating this time!

[davidpizzica]

MOFF, how are you doing? Just making sure Mario doesn't have any cards up his sleeve (if he is wearing sleeves). I just dropped in to get something cold, maybe a diet Pepsi. Gee, the place is empty, Mind if I sit in?
