Just about when you're ready to give up on humanity, you run across this...

This event has gone on for some time. Looks like a whole lot of fun! (Except for the clean up)
I wish more places had it. Also an excellent way to make salsa!
I'll pass...thanks.

Lol. More evidence supporting why aliens, thought to be hovering over our planet, are reluctant to land and engage with humankind. Also, I hope that for the sake of world hunger, the tomatoes used were rotten and not suitable for consumption.
All the gore of the bull run without the danger.
I'm guessing that that is fun?

Ha! Yeah, my thoughts initially went to Pamploma but I couldn't come up with an amalgam for running with the bulls and being hit in the kisser with tomatoes!
There's never been a time in my life in which food was viewed as a "toy," something to be played with. Even those Got Milk? "mustache" commercials from a decade ago made me sick. I'm not sure there's a "money truck" big enough for me to even consider taking part in this "tomato wasting event."

@perrone1 Pardon me for being pedantic, but I think you meant an "analogy"? An amalgam is a mixture, e.g. tomato juice, sweat, and blood (from being gored by bulls, obviously).

@graeme-ogg I don't mind you being pedantic Graeme but I'm not sure what feet have to do with this tomato toss.
I feel disinclined to enlighten you.

You're correctamundo pard. I wished to amalgamate two events into one but the analogy got lost in either Toledo or Madrid.@perrone1 Pardon me for being pedantic, but I think you meant an "analogy"? An amalgam is a mixture, e.g. tomato juice, sweat, and blood (from being gored by bulls, obviously).
Chris, you are to be applauded for your position. Seriously. Back in my day in the '40's, our moms preached against the sin of waste. When I was reluctant to eat my peas, I was harshly reminded that "people are starving in India". And when I tried to help by suggesting that she mailed my peas overseas, she was not amused.There's never been a time in my life in which food was viewed as a "toy," something to be played with.

But when I was about 10 I had pleaded with the family to use me the way the Three Stooges did when there was a pie fight. So help me and all that's good and holy - my older brother came home with a meringue pie and he and Mom let me have it. Such fun!!
The Stooges may not have raised anyone's intellect, but they undoubtably helped many to improve their pitching arms.
