American brothers gored in bull run
By AMANDA RIVKIN, Associated Press Writer Fri Jul 13, 5:49 PM ET

MADRID, Spain - A bull that broke from the pack seriously gored two American brothers, catching one on each of its horns during the running of the bulls festival in Pamplona, where both were recovering Friday in the hospital.

Lawrence and Michael Lenahan were gored simultaneously by the bull, which also injured 11 other people Thursday. It was the worst day for injuries in the nine-day festival.

"I started yelling at my brother to show him I was bleeding everywhere but he showed me he was bleeding everywhere," said Lawrence Lenahan, a 26-year-old Air Force captain from Hermosa Beach, Calif., in a telephone interview from his hospital bed.

He was gored in the buttocks, while Michael Lenahan, 23, of Philadelphia, was injured in his leg and was recovering well from surgery at the same hospital.

The brothers had watched one bull run before taking part. Thursday's run — the sixth day of the festival — was their first.

1. My dear devilgrrl...

Well, that was efficient of the bull! Two at one blow...

Anyone who runs in those things is an idiot, IMHO...

The pic is terrific!

2. Go bulls!

If enough people hurt eventually they'll have to stop this stupid shit. Morans. :eyes:

[Gormy Cuss]

4. Totally agree. It's pretty obvious that it stresses out the bulls, that

it has no other purpose whatsoever any more,and the men who run in it are all candidates for Darwin Awards.

Oh, man.

[NewWaveChick1981]

6. Not surprising.

You run with the bulls, you get gored in the ass. Sometimes two at a time. 'Nuff said. :P

Pulling for the bulls.

9. 26-year-old Air Force captain ?

Back in my day, you weren't allowed to do dangerous stuff like this without permission. I guess Iraq isn't high enough on the adrenalin highway for our Capt.

[Ptah]

10. Air Force captain?

Air Force captain?

:patriot:

They'll gore us there so they won't gore us here?

[liberaltrucker]

11. Reminds me of an old joke

Customer: What are these "oysters"?
Waiter: There are the testicles of the bull from the fight today.
Customer: OK, I'll have those, fried.

Next day:

Customer: I'll have the "oysters".
Waiter: Si senor.

When the dinner arrived, the customer complained that
the portion was much smaller.

Waiter: Senor, today the bull won.

:)

12. Not quite "once you go black you won't go back", but whatever floats their boat...

:yoiks:

I have sympathy for the bull. Of all the things to go fuck around with...

:hide:

[TK421]

14. A most excellent aim, I must say!

:applause: This is what happens when you fuck around with nature....I love seeing stuff like this. You put an animal in an arena ( or wherever they run ) break their spirit on a daily basis, and they then decide to shove their horns up your ass. You just gotta love it!!!! Go bulls!

[billyoc]

16. Hope the bull is OK. n/t

[Critters2]

19. Trust me. It isn't. nt

[AwakeAtLast]

17. The guy on the left should feel lucky the bull's aim was off by a few inches!

He might have a bag instead of a bowel.

That is an amazing pic, BTW.

:hi:

[NaturalHigh]

18. I'm guessing these guys are still a few credits short of their brain surgery degrees.

Honestly, what could possibly be fun about letting some scared, angry, large animals with horns chase you?
