While I'm not a fan of bullfighting for it's glory in killing animals for sport, I do have to give it up to Juan Jose Padilla.
He was a favorite in the arena until he was gored October of 2011.
The bull's horn went thru his jaw and out his left eye socket.
(Holy cow that hurts to even write it!!!)
He still can't chew solid foods.
But that didn't stop him from returning to the ring this past March.
Juan Jose Padilla: Honorary Minister of Badassery, Los Pinches Piratas del Fuego Internacional.
I was going to post a picture of the bull that gored him but, honestly, it is way too graphic.
Gave me the skeevs just looking at it.
If you're brave and you have an iron stomach you can view the pictures here:

Regardless of your feelings about bullfighting, this guys got "huevos" of steel to get back in the ring after that goring. Let alone the new and way unimproved depth perception he now has when a ticked off 2,000 lb. thing with horns comes charging at him.
I couldn't list all the times I've bumped into things on my right side or the times that I nearly knocked a plate or glass out of the hands of a waiter or waitress who was serving from my right side.
The bullfighters get so close to these animals that they normally brush against the sides of the beast as it passes.

Ummmm....
Yeah.
I'll not be doing that.
No sir.
