It ended in a sort of Matador vs Bull standoff. They got to fight another day. I don't know if they still have that rule. TV ran the Mexican fights on Saturdays in SoCal at one time. Used to watch it, knowing the good guy would walk away. :)trailbeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06830065132795330618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-77759265061486777582014-05-21T20:52:20.919-05:002014-05-21T20:52:20.919-05:00I admit it...I kinda root for the bullsI admit it...I kinda root for the bullsMurphy's Lawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17164780742334950772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-78894966884153526552014-05-21T17:39:41.508-05:002014-05-21T17:39:41.508-05:00Yep, just remember NOT to eat the 'small' ...Yep, just remember NOT to eat the 'small' mountain oysters...

Modern bullfighting in which the matador stands and faces the bull is usually, but not always, done by young Spaniards wishing to escape Spain's poverty trap.<br /><br />In the days before antibiotics, wounds from bulls were more fatal than in modern times, infection from bull's horns being common. Bullfighters were so grateful for the invention of penicillin (both because of gorings and venereal disease) that they erected a statue to Dr. Alexander Fleming at one of the largest bullrings.
