Gotta go with my pookie here.

I went whitewater rafting once, and honestly...there's no reason to do it.  It's dangerous, and at one point our raft nearly went right into a hole (hydraulic caused by the rapids hitting a rock...it'd suck you down and the only way to get out is ball up and hope you get spat out).

But goddamn, was that the most fun I've had in a while.

I'm not sure I'd run with the bulls, but sometimes you just gotta do something for the rush.

Thanks all for the kind praise and comments.  Although we may not all agree with every aspect, we can all say together that Running with The Bulls is crazy as hell!!!
Fishing, like sex, has certain requirements that must be met in order to say you've done it.  If not met, then you're just fumbling with your rod.

And lest we forget, it was the sheer, balls-to-the-wall, ass-blastingly awesome insanity of the man who said, "I shall make robots ... THAT ARE MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE!" that gave us the Transformers.  :sarcastic:

Thanks for my morning laugh!  Great column Gambit.

I never understood why people would willingly run in front of bulls either, but then I'm  not so much a glutton for punishment either.  Thankfully I'm a girl and don't have to prove any manliness.  I'm sure Cap appreciates this too.

Great piece, Gambit. 

There's isn't a spin in the world that someone could give me that would convince me to do this.  I'm a huge extreme sports guys and I have the concussions, prior broken bones, and aches to prove it.  I've bungee jumped, tried sky diving, and hit the water so hard on a wakeboard it felt like concrete......but everyone draws the line somewhere. 

This is my line.  :sarcastic:

Nah, seeing as how my testicles have already dropped, I doubt I'll ever say "blark."  :sarcastic:

Seriously, though, I'd imagine I'd be screaming like a little bitch the whole time, but it'd be worth it.

We having a "rip Nelo" session here?  :sarcastic:
