there's, um, obviously a long story to this, but...


(YouTube clip of me, wearing a Mexican wrestling mask, riding a mechanical bull)

"You right-handed?"
"Yes. Is it okay if I wear this mask?"
"Whatever does it for you, man. Hold up your left hand and lean back."

I'm in Dallas. What were you expecting me to do?

Update: BTW, Sal also tried the bull, without the twin cowboy-burdens of a mask and live-action video recording. Here's him being thrown off:

does the longer story involve cranberry and vodka?

I would've preferred it without the mask. Why did you wear it?

It looks like you were enjoying yourself. Who knew GAA could be this exciting?

Wow! And I'd thought I had a wild weekend... Way to do Dallas, my dear.

I'm frightened. Very Frightened.

But perhaps that was the intent?

Dude--
I did not realize there was a video to go with the caption. YouTube didn't come through on the other browser, and there wasn't even a placeholder.

Nice recovery after falling. It was a good ride. Truly inspiring.

I'm glad you wore the mask while riding; it's like it could have been any one of us on that thing!

Let's hear it for the boy detective.
