HOld on tight




A claim about rodeo steer riding is that when it was first tried it was a dud. That's right, boring. Most everyone went to look at the champion roosters event rather than sit through the steer riding event. [SOURCE]
That changed, of course, as a change in steers to bulls made history. Brahman bulls showed the way to today's event or gore, stomp, rampage and assuredly kill the "thing" on its back... and raking his balls too.

More bell, less hat. MooPig knows the in and outs of riding a bull. More the bull than the pig that is.

But before we get to bragging, lets do some fact finding.

by Pat Darnell
HOw could Bovine Complacency provide a ride of a lifetime. Yes, if you jump on a beast that has never had much on its back -- besides snarling wolves, lions, tigers and bears -- then your life will flash through your mind, and in a twinkling you will be accelerating through space and time akin to human rapture visions. Yes.

I have sat atop wild, semi-broke horses. And at the time I suspected there is no greater ride for your life than that. So of course there are those whose need for speed and brain rattling prompts them to jump on bulls for their rides. It's always one up showmanship, every where I try to go. Ain't it a bitch?

"It's not a matter of 'If' I get hurt, but 'When' I get hurt," say the semi-cripple ex-bull riders.

MooPig asked some of those present, "Are there any ex-ridden Bulls that are hurting and crippled?"

That question drew a blank. Turn about is still fair play.

Day TWO: BLOGGER STRIKE

Boggled & Blogged
Bunged highways are not an unusual occurrence in Houston. Absence of collisions is a new concept, that has police confused. Certain groups have shut down the highway to our Blogoshpere, in a collision-free coupe. Was it by subversion; does it pose any threat?

The quiet hum of the Internet is appreciably quickened at the start of the BLOGGER STRIKE yesterday. Somehow 'http://~header' has been replaced nationwide with 'http://~STRIKE Blogger.'

MooPig has been running extra shifts to make sure it is available when the news comes out. "We have assembled a team of cracker jack Aggies at an undisclosed location to monitor and report."

Apparently last night two people were taken into custody. Websites led special agents to an industrial office park in Valparaiso, IN. It turns out all pre-planned as at that location were a man and a woman in their late twenties who had handcuffed themselves to a post in their office. Some say the postal event was recorded of course by live feed webcam. The tiny surveillance cameras were fitted in NY ballplayer B. Williams' bobble head dolls all around the room.

Alledgedly son of billionaire Roy Welch, Roy jr., and Annabelle Leviton have been monitoring players of parts in a game called "Attrition."

Early views of the video recording shows Roy, jr. sort of spelled it out for us in the video stream, before the detectives arrived. He said, "After 9/11 his research team stumbled upon a quatrain written by Nostradmus that alluded to a Scribe Walkout in late 2001." It also referred to a communication break in long-standing invisible waves upon the air occurring about 2012.

"We started right away in 2001 organizing Internet Protocol state-of-the-art into a second internet, using rapid xenon processing," says Roy in the video. "We relied on web crawls through the IP to supply us with the body of knowledge we would need to start up. For instance we searched for the ignition key for the large subdural bootlog, and we found the answer in a business log. We needed the cosmic debris of baby Giraffes being born, so we set up shop at the Herman Park Zoo Giraffe tunnel. Yes, docents aided us in that task, and it works."

In interview with a docent on duty at the Hermann Park Zoo's Giraffe Tunnel, she offered this: "Well, giraffes do have seven neck bones."

"We needed a substantial grounded housing; we found willing Texans to fund our activity and help us. We chose the locomotive at Herman Park in Houston as the best low lying remote grounded vehicle," says Annabelle. "The Miller Outdoor Theartre Roof nearby is the dish we use to communicate with the satellite that Texans sent to orbit for us late in 2001."

"Even though it all seems clandestine; we are allowing ourselves to be incarcerated today in civil protest of the way writers are treated throughout history. If we don't do this now, who knows what will happen in 2012?" says Roy, jr.

Good question says MooPig. "Giraffes, tin roofs, quatrains, clandestine satellites? What next?" >pd/draft

The 42nd Salt Grass Trail starts soon in February '08

Society [last year]
Feb. 25, 2007, 11:13 PM Desperados celebrate ride to the rodeo
By SHELBY HODGE Copyright 2007 Houston Chronicle


THOSE feisty Desperados — after Saturday's rodeo parade through downtown, 60 or so of the Salt Grass Trail Ride team meandered over to Pecos Grill to whoop it up at a trail's end celebration.
The Desperados begin their annual cowboy gig in Cat Spring, where they saddle up for the 100-mile trek into town and ultimately into the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo parade. Saturday, the die-hards continued the party, as has been tradition for 20 years, with a post-parade lunch.
Long-standing Desperado Welcome Wilson Sr., completing his 41st Salt Grass tour, was among them, as was his sister, Beverly Wilson Smith, wagon boss. Beverly and husband Gary Smith are the ride's stemwinders along with Peggy and Joe Bennett.
It's something of a family affair with the Desperados. Welcome's daughter, Cindi Wilson, is club secretary, and his nephew, Ryan Wasaff, is president. They were all on hand Saturday afternoon for the feast of steaks and trimmings organized by lunch chair Dixie Christian.

Toasted for making their inaugural trek with the Desperados were rookie riders including Vicki Pappas of the restaurant clan, fashion designer Vanessa Riley and contractor Tiffanie Purvis.
The partying bunch included Western-wear designer Pat Dahnke and daughter Tara, Sara Getch Fletcher, Joe Martin, Michelle Wasaff, former Houston Police Chief Harry Caldwell and wife Joan, Joe Heard and Tim Wald.
