Portugal - the country whose spectators helped kill Group B.

Many of them thought it was pretty rad to stand in front of the cars until the last moment. Or slap them as they went by.

Is it wrong that I kept mentally shouting, "Yeah! Yeah! Get em!?" I'm no tea drinking hippy, but the way these bulls are treated before and in a bull ring make me sick. So I love it when these shiny happy people get gored. Love it.

I don't understand. Why are they walking bulls thru the town streets?

The Portuguese do bull fighting a little differently than the Spanish, and the Azores do it further differently than the Portuguese. Can't see the video here at work, I take it this is in the street?

If you don't get gored, you have good luck in the next year?

Moral of the story is always make sure there is someone slower than you and they are between you and the bull.

Best part? When one bull is on top of a shed's roof, staring down those old men. That's nature's way of saying, "This E36 M3 has gone on far too long!"

Ooh that last little clip looked nasty, same with the older guy with the rope wrapped around his leg.

Id would be out on those streets too if I was there though.

Hemingway was a heck of an author, but I wouldn't look to him for real life advice. Though I do cool the tuna, vinegar, and onions he talks about in one of his books... man that's delicious.

@Bumboclot: That is beautiful!!
