Welcome to the Plaza del Castillo, Pamplona. The Plaza del Castillo is in the heart of Pamplona's old town and the major focus for partying during the world-famous San Fermin festival, during which 'el encierro' (The Running of the Bulls) takes place.
Hmmm...Dubya's birthday....running of the bulls...coinky dink?...
These are the jokes, folks.
I always watch via webcam....though maybe someone elase would as well.

Do we have a fantasy league on this yet?
love to see some sissy boy spaniards run over by some big ass bulls. Heres rooting for the frightened bulls.
There's a reality show I happened on, I think it airs on CMT. It's called Cowboy U.
Last week they were playing a game of "chicken" with an angry bull (not as fierce as the ones at Pamplona, but still sort of fun to watch.
I bet the spaniards actually running in front of these half-ton aurochs voted for Aznar.
honestly I believe that the majority of runners are actually stupid drunk tourists. I just like taking swings at france, germany and france every chance i get.
Sort of challenge their manhood.
I guess it's me, but I find the idea of her getting goosed by 1500 pounds of P.O.'d bovine proctologist vastly amusing. Darwin award nominee, anyone?
Have you ever run with the bulls or are you just a jerk online.
I think anyone who would travel hundreds or thousands of miles so they can dress like a Spanish poofter, with a darling little beanie and an adorable red cravat, to play tag with a 1500 pound beefsteak, daring it to stomp a mud hole in his navel, so he can role the dice with third world emergency blunt force trauma care, has some serious self-image issues...

Get real.
Rancher there pal, I work with the critters all the time.
A friend of mine wanted to run with the bulls. I asked, "Why?" His response: "to get a good-looking scar".
Little things mean a lot. If I were in some silly delusion that it would somehow bolster my manhood to travel to Spain just to imitate Hemingway, I would click off a thousand miles on my Brookstone pedometer before I got to the Atlantic.
I've heard that some girlyman Yanks have actually done so, but if they were so hot to play with bulls, they could have tried riding one here in Oklahoma...
