HE ALMOST GOT KILT! (& that's no bull...)

[Retro Red]

This photo accompanied a foxnews.com photo essay about the bull run in Pampolona, Spain. You might say this guy was "head over heels" for the bull run.

And I'm guessing this bull is not a fan of kilts...

I hate to think what would've happened if the guy had worn one of the red tartans...

Talented photographer...too bad I can't say the same for the bull runner.

Wow. I agree, I would have hated to see what might have happened if he was wearing a MacPhee Tartan, or one that is highly dominant in the red color. Any word on how badly this guy was hurt?

[Mr. MacDougall]

Bulls are colorblind, the color of the cape the matador uses is traditional, not functional.

I ran with the bulls when I was a young sailor. It was terrifying. As a friend of mine put it, what really happened was that I ran from the bulls. This guy is lucky he didn't get gored, or trampled.

That makes it official - kilts ARE irresistible...

I imagine nine out of ten shots in that series are not fit to print. Everything just 'fell in place' for that photo.

I was going to say the same thing, that is not something I would attempt but it takes all kinds I suppose. He is very lucky, at least he'll have something to remember Spain by.

Remember the other thread where the newbie asked what can we do in a kilt? Bull running is not on my list.

Just goes to show that it CAN be done in a kilt. Whether or not it SHOULD be done in a kilt is another matter.

I am to old to running period, so playing with a ton of bull in or out of a kilt is completly out of the question!!!
