Last week, I opened the newspaper and saw a story about a guy I work with. At an after-work get together with a bunch of colleagues back in May (which I did not attend), he rode one of those mechanical bulls at a Manhattan bar while he was drunk; of course, he fell off. Also of course, he hurt himself pretty badly -- I think he dislocated his elbow or something; his arm was in a sling for quite some time, he was still wearing a sling in late June when we went to a baseball game together. And now, naturally, this idiot is suing the bar! Fucking brilliant. |

What an ASSHOLE!!! He should suck it up and take personal responsibility for his own actions (and stupidity)...IMHO

I totally agree. He's blaming the employee of the bar for encouraging him, denying any accountability for himself.

That's true Jake, but there's still cost and aggravation involved. Today, when people get hurt, they think it's a winning lotto ticket even if it's their own fault.

There is no doubt about it that the guy is entirely to blame for the injury he sustained, but sadly society in general seems to want someone else to be to blame for the bad choices we make and their consequences... and to be rewarded financially for such.
However, I have to question the common sense (or lack thereof) of putting a machine like this in a bar in the first place.

Well Si.
You need the draw, so the bull ride gets people who want to watch and just be in the action environment. Probably a fraction of the patrons ride the machine.
Bottom line, the owners are damn if they do and damned if they don't.
You have to see how ridiculous I get with caution tape when we start our floor projects. If I'm at a senior citizens HUD site, I'll stand gaurd becasue the caution tape isn't enough, it must look like a finish line they need to run through.
Typically the other side of the tape is an extremely slippery wet thin set concrete or wet open adhesive.

You need the draw, so the bull ride gets people who want to watch and just be in the action environment Why can't they just play darts?  In the UK we are overwhelmed with 'Health and Safety' rules which are rigidly enforced, whether these be on building sites, in the workplace, public places etc. In fact many believe that we are drowning in idiotic rules to protect us from potential accidents that committees somewhere have dreamed up, and I'm inclined to agree. Now I might be wrong, but I couldn't see our Health and Safety Taliban allowing a mechanical bull to be operated in a bar, and for once I'd have to agree with them... I'm already capable of getting myself into enough trouble as it is when I've had a skinfull without further temptation being put in front of me  ;D Simon |

I hate to admit it, but I was out with my wife and her little sister one Halloween a few years ago and rode on a mechanical bull. We all three did. There was 6" of padding and we were all really drunk. One thing to remember about mechanical bulls - when the guy working the buttons wants your ass off the bull, it's going off.
Edited to add: I was dressed up as a Chinese pimp with skullcap and long pigtail. The two ladies were wearing naughty schollgirl outfits. We must have looked funny coming off of that bull.

The "mechanical bull" needs to be relabeled as "The Incredibly Unbelievable Wild Sex Humping Machine".. that should get it into your pubs.

If we can get enough of a group together, maybe we could play paint-ball darts -- instead of throwing the darts at a target, we just throw them at each other.

He ate the early, still in beta testing New Mango Lubricant. I'm working on a marketing campaign with Kraft and hope to have the final product worked out soon.
Right now the lubricant, has a frothing problem when it's mixed into the salsa. It has to taste good, look good and provide the lubrication of the most demanding lovers.
I got the idea from the old Saturday Night Live commercial for the combination product Shimmer. It was a floor wax and a dessert topping.
