BTW Bawanna...love rodeos. Always feel at home at them. Good peeps good times. Have to admit watching them on TV is better though. They aren't quite as fast paced live.

Most things I prefer to watch on TV but rodeo's can be good in person. We've gone down to Reno for the big rodeo there last 3 years, go 3 nights in a row. It's a good one. Our local one is kind of podunk. Nobody stays on long, but we know a lot of people round the fair grounds so we go.

Little known fact- in my youth one of my career goals, actually top of the list was to be a Rodeo Clown. Honest injun, I also consider long haul trucking but the clown gig was where I wanted to be. Often wished I would have pursued it more diligently. Didn't seem like a real career but some of them do alright.

rodeo clown----jeez can you get more dangerous than that? Those clowns are anything but clowns.... awesome athletes. Watched a show on those guys. I can remember the title but they are amazing...I thought they were before I watched the show...even more afterward. Cant imagine doing it .... love rodeo poker event. Ever seen a rodeo in Mexico? Those are some tough hombres too.

They are incredibly dedicated. They are sheepdogs for cowboys. I know one or two, the guy that does Reno is relatively local to us and does rodeo's up here also.

Guess he's a school teacher when he ain't clowning.

What makes a rodeo is a good entertaining clown. The guys the wrestle the bulls work their back side off and earn every penny. Usually on the good rodeo's there's a third clown that stays at a distance and isn't near as risky but he also gets into it when needed. I've seen this guy I mentioned jump on a bull where the cowboy was hung up, getting him some slack so he could get loose. Both were hauled off on that one.

That's it, if I get legs ever again I'm gonna be a rodeo clown.

Here's a shot of my 1 year old grandson and my daughter at the rodeo the other night. Dude's a real chick magnet just like his grandpa.

Not me man, I'm scared of heights and only a fool jumps out of a perfectly good airplane.

I would like to launch off an aircraft carrier, don't really want to land on one though. Maybe launch close to land and land there.

I'd amend that to "only a fool or a warrior". Other than that, especially as a pilot, I totally agree with you.

Oh OK. getting onto the back of a one ton animal that has horns and hell bent on goring and or trampling you to death isn't as bad as jumping out of a perfectly good airplane....got it. make complete sense. I just had to let that sink in a little
