The Stampede however, is a massive piece of crap, that sucks crap. In the 36 years I have been alive, the thing has barely evolved from a carnie freakshow. Like seriously, grown adults riding those ghetto, poor ass, deisel powered rides, tended by a bunch of track marked, pock faced, junkies? Buy a ticket to Disneyland or something for gods sake, your an adult.
If the Rodeo was truly faithful to the cattle industry, they would pack as many cattle into the infield as possible, and shoot them in the head with a nail gun, then skin them while their hearts were still beating. The petting zoo would have a pen full of desperate insane pigs with pustulating sores, cannabilizing the corpses of the dead, while the farmers stomp the runts to death.
The rodeo, and all the bs associated with this massive 10 day trailer fest, is so far distant from the truth of the industry it celebrates, it is a joke. All it is now, is an excuse for every D-bag in the city to cowboy up, and drive his 92 Integra with a fart cannon around, pissed out of his mind looking for tail, when in reality, the guy has never even sat on a horse, or been on a ranch, in his entire life.
God I hate this frikkin week.
