Running Of the lady Bulls

I know I am back in New Orleans now because of the wacky things that happen here. Portland is beuatiful, clean and sane. New Orleans is old, messy and offbeat if not crazy. We do strange things here every day. For example....today is theThird Annual New Orleans Running of the Bulls that "replicates" and pays homage to the world famous Encierro of Pamplona, Spain, or "The Running of the Bulls." You must know about the Pamplona event. It's the one wheer he bulls are released in the town's main street and brave (or foolish runners...depending on your prospective) allow the animals to try to run them down, splattering their remains wherevere contcat between bull and drunken runner is made.
Well, we have with our own version of bravery on display. Actually, it's more satire than bravery. You see, our bulls are sexy roller girl teams from the New Orleans and surrounding areas. About eighty of them, armed with wiffle-ball baseball bats, chase the brave runners through the French Quarter section fo New Orleans to administer a "We've instructed them to strike with no mercy. The roller girls with pointed red bull ears administer a nice beating from a plastic bat to any runner they catch.The girls...or bulls, get serious. "We've had a few scratches in the past, but the biggest complaint last year was that weren't enough injuries.
So we're going to be hitting a little bit harder this year," said one of the 'Big Easy' rollergirls, Dawn Edwards.
Injuries here don't tend to be as bad as those in Pamplona, because the ladies don't gore the runners, at least not physically. Nothing serious...just a few minor scratches, some bruises and a couple of flesh wounds.
Bring on the lady bulls!!!
