Morning Tweet: Running of the matadors

Jun 16, 2010, 9:00 AM EDT

As you know, any time a matador acts like Curly from the Three Stooges, I’m totally into that. That’s why I’m now a big fan of Christian Hernandez, a Mexican matador who entered the ring with a bull on Sunday and did the logical thing; ran for his life.

After his rapid exit, he was convinced to re-enter the ring, but exited again shaking his head. Hernandez was arrested for breach of contract a short time later — a fine secured his release. He shared his thoughts with the media the next day:

“There are some things you must be aware of about yourself, I didn’t have the ability, I didn’t have the balls, this is not my thing.”

Or, as Curly would have so eloquently put it: “Moe, Larry, cheese!”
Here is video of The Great Escape. I still think that’s Sacha Baron Cohen (Borat, Bruno) filming his next movie.
Come on, boys! Jake’s in town! Let’s start Wednesday!
