Just to let you know: If you are at a bull riding event and all the rednecks around you stand up whilst whooping and hollering, stand up with them because it might mean the announcers said, "Stand up if you are proud to be American!" In my defense, I thought he said, "Stare bup fi roudy bere ee namerkin." My mother grabbed my jacket and through gritted teeth said, "You better stand up if you don't want to die." And I don't want to die! Not right now, anyway.
Also, bull riding events are very religious. The announcer let everyone know that we are in a war against people who are replacing the "Christ" in "Christmas" with an "X." I don't think he is aware of the fact that the Greek symbol for Christ is an X. If he was ever told that, I seriously believe he would have a crisis of faith and shoot the person who told him and then shoot himself.
I would like to add that I thought all of this was a joke and my dad elbowed me and had this look of fear in his eyes as he said, "Don't do that because these people will attack you." It was around this time that I noticed the guy behind me had a bottle of Desani that wasn't the right color for water because last time I checked, water was clear, not watery brown. Yep, he was using that bottle for his chewing tobacco.
Long story short, I felt like I was at a modern-day Nazi rally, thought I am most certainly not a Nazi sympathizer. I just thought people were going to ride bulls. That's all I was there for.
