La Fiesta Tomatina

Okay so I'm not EESPANISH... So I don't know if that is even the right name of the said festival, but I did see it on the news last night!

EESpanish people are crazy and brave as fuck! Would you willingly try and outrun a raging bull all in the name of fun!? EXACTLY! Fuck no! Yes once a year, the lovely Spaniards get together all in their white "Run for your fucking lives" Uniforms and just let a couple of chronically pissed off bulls loose in the middle of town to run after them! The ones who are alive and not maimed in any kind of way by the end of this race... Have a good laugh and celebrate life! AMAZING! I admire them for that!

But this blogpost isn't about the bright brass "cajones" of the eespanish personas! This is about another festival that took place the other day there... La Fiesta Tomatina... Where a whole bunch of people take a couple of truckloads of tomatoes and pelt eachother with it in a friendly food fight! Awesome! They paint the town red literally! At this year's festival they used a mere 125 TONS of tomatoes! Where the fuck did they find so many fucking tomatoes!? I bet you there are no porras in Spain! (Even though we live next door!) I bet you there were a bunch of my kind saying: "125 TONS! Shit what a waste! Do you know how many boxes of tomatoes can be made and sold out of 125 tons!" ;-)

This Fiesta is something I would love to experience sometime! Really, it is on my "To Do" list (Which I will be adding very soon!)... Awesome stuff I tell you! Imagine this! Yes good people, you know you can always count on me with my warped imagination to put a spin on things and bring a whole new dimension to a perfectly normal thing like throwing 125 000 kilograms of tomatoes around! If I ever mission off to Spain, I will create a festival of my own! I will call it the "Perro Calente"(Hotdog) Festival... Anyone wanting to enter will have to pay though...(Only to cover costs) We will have 125 tons of cooked viennas, 125 tons of tomato sauce, 125 tons of mustard and 125 tons of bread rolls... That will be an awesome food fight of ready made hotdogs! When you get tired of peting other people, you just eat! I will make sure it is held in October, same time as the Beer Festival in Germany so that at the end of the festival we just mission over to Germany and quench our thirsts! Or if you're an adrenaline junkie and feeling a little violent, you could always just skip the hot dog idea and use glass bottles of tomato sauce to throw at eachother... Each bottle holds +- 36 tomatoes, so it will be like cluster bombs! Just make sure you have an AWESOME medical aid if you try this! I reckon a decent plastic surgeon would also come in handy! ;-)

I am taking a very nostalgic trip today. I'm listening to Sugar Ray-"Mean Machine" & "Someday"... I loved these songs when i was fifteen! Still great songs! But fuck I am feeling old now!!!

Ciao. Stay Tuned.
