Running of the bulls!

Today marked the first day of the Running of the Bulls in Spain and according to officials, 9-people were injured, none gored. It was the first of eight scheduled runs. The most crowded ones will be next weekend.
There you go, in Spain they set a bunch of Bulls free into the streets and daredevils try and avoid being gored by them. In American we grab our lawn chairs and coolers on wheels and head to the local festivals for a “frog jumping” contest.

Spain may have the Running of the Bulls but we have "Nathan’s annual hot dog eating contest!" On the 4th of July, American Joey Chestnut ate 59 hot dogs in ten minuets, then 5 more in overtime to retain his “hot dog eating” title. Everyone knows to get out of the way of a charging bull but can they eat 59 hot dogs... and keep them down?

In Michigan they held the annual “Cheery Pit spitting” contests. Everyone gathered around a stage to see Brian "Young Gun" Krause out-spit his father by 6-1/2 inches to claim his seventh championship at the International Cherry Pit Spitting Championship.

Like father like son! A family that spits together stays together.
