A picture of me riding da bull at the Grizzly Rose. I am not a frequenter of cowboy bars, just a man who happened to be in the wrong place at the right time.
Viva Da Bull
I am Frank's complete lack of being thrown off the bull for 3 minutes, a record for that night, apparently. Until the crazy lady operating the bull decided she really wanted to see if my skinny ass could fly. And fly it did. The centripetal acceleration for an object like my skinny ass can be derived for the case of circular motion since the curved path at any point can be extended to a circle. Apply to bull. See below.
In other words, as she speeded up the gyration of the bull, I was eventually hurled from the saddle in a brilliant demonstration of the laws of physics.
A little bruised, a lot dizzy, I stood up and bowed to drunken cheers. Japanese Rhinestone Cowboy tried to emulate, but was tossed on the fifth gyration. I rule.
