Have you ever ridden a mechanical bull?

In My Humble Opinion
1

I did once when I was in college. It was at this place called Mudbug’s outside of New Orleans. I was feeling daring (and drunk) that night. I stepped up, signed the waivers (that is a bad sign), and handed over my $3.

I watched as each of the five guys ahead of me got thrown one after another. Finally, it was my turn. I climbed on the bull, wrapped whatever that thing was around my hand, grabbed onto the grip, and held my other arm up in the air.

It started. At first it was just a turn but then the bucks came. My crotch hammered down on my hand on the grip over and over as the bull turned. I basically just paid someone so I could rack myself in the nuts as hard as I could. It spun and bucked and bucked and spun. I really hurt. My thighs felt like they were wishbones about to snap.

Then, as suddenly as it started, it stopped. I made it the full eight seconds. I was the longest two years of my life.

I was able to walk normally again after just a few days.

Have you ever ridden one?

Nope, but I did watch a drunk guy get thrown from one clear over the mat and break his leg once.

In my circle it’s generally either a bimbo or a drunk wanna-be cowboy thing to do. Not that I wouldn’t try it. And I do know a nine year old kid that’s great at it.

Yeah, eventually ended up with what I was sure was a hairline fracture in my forearm. A buddy once got tossed over the head and broke a horn clean off! Shut it down for the rest of the night. Yeehaaa!!!

I did once on holiday in Sharm El Sheik. It was a lot of fun, but I got a painful burn on both my inside legs, and couldn’t ride kit again.

My advice - never ride a mechanical bull while wearing short trousers.

well, if your buddy had horns, maybe they should have just lopped the other one off so he doesn’t walk around all crook-necked all the time.
