Run Idiot Run
Every year, the human race engages in self-cleansing rituals that are as admirable as they are ingenious!
Example 1: Under the guise of the San Fermin festival, the stupidest subjects among them are enticed with claims of bravery and bravado to gather into a narrow winding course of cobbled streets before they let loose 6 wild powerful bulls. The idiots then begin to run... DOWN the street instead of out of the way!
It's a scandal that these benevolent animals who do us such a great service are later on slaughtered by other spear-wielding idiots dressed like pixies.
While this may not be the most effective means of sanitizing our gene-pool, it is at least fun to watch and it isn't a crime since all participants are self-willed. Thank Ernest Hemingway for making this all so popular, we couldn't have done it without him!
*15 people have been gored to death and over 200 injured since 1910, 4 added this morning. The innocent bull victims are much more of course, but nobody bothers to count them.
More info from Wikipedia.
Example 2: In May, a roll of cheese is thrown down a grassy hill in Gloucestershire, Scotland. Idiots run after it. This is even more pathetic than the recent story of goats running off a hill in Turkey, as relayed by American in Lebanon. What do the participants have to say for themselves? Try this:
Run Idiot, Run!

Try this:"The pain was worth it. I went over on my ankle right at the top of the hill."...right.
"This cheese is going straight in a cupboard when I get home. It's definitely not for eating."
Run Idiot, Run!

Shut up, idiot, shut up....
I knew this post is offensive to imbeciles, but who knew they could read?!
I wonder why that "anonymous chicken" was insulted...
Anyway, the title reminds me of the movie "Run Lola Run". It is a nice movie to watch if you haven't already done so.
...still wondering if this "anonymous chicken" runs after cheese balls or he prefers to be run after by bulls!
hahaha wicked... good ol' scots chasing after cheese... at least it doesn't kill any animals hey? ... the only things that could die in the cheese rolling are the lunatics who do it... all men too. interesting.
anonymous... go away.

I was referring to the movie Forrest Gump actually, where the girl (forgot her name) cries out: "Run Forrest, Run!"
Run Lola Run (which I think got the idea from Forrest) is a great movie I agree. I talked about it here: http://ramziblahblah.blogspot.com/2004/11/falling-parallel-butterfly.html

Yeah, it is curious that mostly men do these things. Are you trying to imply that we are a disadvantaged sex when it comes to good sense? :P
You said it...not her! ;)
