No Bull

To bull or not to bull? Bull riding that is... or more specifically mechanical bull riding. Can't say I am a huge fan or a fan at all. This is one of the many gimmicks places such as Club Texas, The Stadium and now the new Jimmy the Greeks is doing to attract people to gallop on in to their establishment for some very classy entertainment. The goal ultimately, to sell more to the clients. Good idea, let's sell them lots of food and drinks, throw them up on a bull, turn it on high and see what happens! Could be a recipe for disaster; hope they have a good cleaning crew.

Now, I know what the guys are going to say and maybe even some of the girls. That this is somehow a turn on or sexy. NOT! I don't argue that the real deal would be. Who could turn down a guy or girl who is willing to strap on and have a real breathing, snorting, kicking, crazy animal between their legs (and I'm not talking about your last hot date, a real bull)? And let's face it, even if you are not a big country fan, no girl can resist a hot cowboy.

But, this is different. It's a mechanical bull. No head, (ok this one in the photo does have a head but most I have seen in the bars don't) no tail, just a middle. And, on top of that due to all the liability issues, the clubs/bars that offer this have to put this wonderful blow up mat/ring around the bull, I call it the big pool (because it looks like those inflatable pools that people put in their back yard... oh and FYI, I wouldn't be caught dead with one of those in my back yard either).

So how sexy is it when you get thrown off the bull and roll around in the waterless pool? Really hot...lol. Honestly, I am pretty game for just about anything but this is just not on the list. And to add to the non-sexiness you can't wear your shoes. Because of course, they don't want you to pop the pool! Come on! Half of the sex appeal for women is seeing a guy in a pair of cowboy boots not seeing a guy in his socks in the middle of a poor man's pool on a headless, tailless bull. And guys, seriously, we know you are simple, but really, this does it for you? Ok, why do I even ask... of course it does. Then again, what doesn't? Oh yeah, the baby doll shirts that make the girls look pregnant, the capris and the crocs that I wrote about in the last entry! Oh but if the girl wearing all of those was riding the bull, then it would be hot, right? Mercy! Let me get my hip waders on cause the Bullshit's getting a little high.

Oh no, I just found a song on myspace about bikini bull riding! http://vidsearch.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=37854905 . God help us if they start that around here any time soon or ever... but then again, in a weird way it fits since everyone winds up in the big blow up pool anyway. Why don't they just add some water or foam and make it even better, I mean cheezier.
