His first rodeo and possibly his last. If Bleeb survives hopefully he’ll never try bull riding again.

I wore a saddle to my first rodeo.

So does this means he won’t get a reverse mortgage!?

The accelerated learning curve, explained.

Rodeo is filled with animal cruelty should be banned!

He is not the only one flying from the saddle

Had to think about that for a moment.

Gotta be a first time for everything. Unfortunately, some times the first time is also the last time.

Tom Selleck? (His reverse mortgage commercial)

Send in the clowns?

Great take on the old saw!!!!

Rodeo? Rodeo? Oh yeah. That place where me, and women, let animals beat them up. Love it.

He’ll always remember his trip to Red Bluff.

And, his last roundup…

Pfft, amateur….

This is also Johnny Mac’s first Rodeo since bull riding doesn’t include a saddle or blanket or whatever that is, just a leather strap to hang on to with one hand! The other hand must not touch the bull during the eight second ride or automatic disqualification!!

The bull or the cowboy?

Cowpokes standing with their backs to a loose bull is none to bright either.

Sometimes it’s rodeo. Sometimes it’s idiot stomping.

Hmmm, Bleeb’s catching some big-air, and now I want steak for some reason. Well, there is an old Rodeo Cowboy maxim that goes like this: (Ride Broncs, win money. Ride Bulls, meet nurses.) Stick the landing Bleeb, bulls are inclined to “tenderize” you once you hit the ground.

Looks like his last

On Zorkon we try to ride Gorbongees, which spew a slippery foul smelling liquid from their norgast glands! An Earth horse is a meek creature after one has ridden an angry Gorbongee!

Is no one worried about Bleeb????
