Rodeo-mania

I just watched a television program about a rodeo (or a series of rodeos?) that included a segment dedicated to bronc riders over 50. I would have been killed less than 2 seconds into the rides. My god, those guys are just beat to shit almost immediately! But they limp out of the arena like champions when they're tossed from the backs of those obviously pissed-off horses that would dearly love to kill those geezer cowboys! I'll stick to competition eating...with occasional interludes of competition dieting. Both of them could kill me, but would be far less violent.
