  • The Stampede

    From Graham@21:1/5 to All on Fri Jul 4 09:29:13 2025
    For the next 10 days Calgary is taken over by the Stampede.
    If you are organised, you can get a free breakfast every day.
    Tomorrow morning, thousands will be lining up at the biggest
    shopping centre for its annual breakfast of pancakes, beans and
    sausages. Nearly everyone dresses western too.
    No thanks!
    Any check shirts and jeans of mine are moved to the back of the closet.

    I wish I had checked out the Stampede years ago when we were in Calgary.
    I developed an interest in rodeo events after I got into riding. FWIW I started taking English Hunter Jumper lessons in my 50s. Those guys may
    dress funny and put on all the airs of good Christians, but you have to acknowledge the athleticism of rodeo events. It takes a lot of physical strength and agility to sit on one of those bucking broncos or bulls.

    I especially love their cowboy names. Where else do you see guys with
    names like Chet, Wade, Colton, Cody, Clay and the like?

    And bulls with a name like Bodacious!

    The "Wildest, Richest Rodeo in the West" just wrapped up where I live.
    I'm guessing that a few of them are in Calgary now.

    There is a circuit and the main characters hit all the big ones. I think
    the Stampede is the second biggest.

    "There was a young man from Nantucket
    Whose dick was so long he could suck it.
    He said with a grin
    As he wiped off his chin,
    "If my ear was a cunt I would fuck it..."

    O:-)
