Yeehaw

We went to the rodeo tonight. Good clean Fort Worth fun. My little brother puked in the parking lot. He couldn't handle the smells, so we left early. We did get to witness the calf scramble, however.
For those not familiar with it, the calf scramble is a rodeo tradition where a ribbon is tied to the tail of a young calf. The calf is released into an arena full of young children. The children try to get the ribbon off the calf's tail. The winner is given a prize. Sounds safe, right?
I tried not to laugh. I really did. But the calf was juking and running blindly about when he form tackled a little boy. It was a tense moment, then the kid got up and cried. Apparently he will live.
The winner was a little girl in a pink cowboy hat. I wonder how many poorly aimed little fingers went into that cow's butt before the ribbon came off.
