Bleeb is running right along with them bulls.

watch out, here comes Tusky!

Getting Smeared by a Walrus or a Bull don’t make much difference your still a Idiot ! /s

This had oosik consequences!

We are doing the running on the banks.

Do they play the Beatles: “I am the Walrus” continuously?

In Pamplona they run the bulls until the bullring, and then they kill them at the corridas in the afternoon.What happens with the walruses?

Which city is going to feature The Running of the Nerds? Because I’d be up for watching that!

Hitting the wall takes on a new meaning – and gets you arrested for animal cruelty.

Mere’s a mawlrus mon thop ov’me!!.

GREEN…. (Hic) …PLAID ALERT (Hic)

EVERYBODY…. SHOOT A DRINK… HAVE A DRINK… TAKE A SHOT…(Hic)

We’re (Hic) gonna haveta switch this game (Hic)!

Oh, and you’re gonna haveta drunk, I’m too drive to!

When they’re not running, they play the horns at the dock!

Much safer than the “jumping of the walruses” https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2019/04/why-are-walruses-walking-off-cliffs/586510/ (warning – disturbing images and commentary)

Tusk,tusk,tusk!

Still trying after the disaster that was the running of the polar bears.

Coo-coo-ca-choo

Still gonna get poked regardless

This cartoon gets the seal of approval.

Well, flopping, anyway.

I’m not sure what they do is really “running”. Waddling?

Guess the person getting squashed didn’t see that coming.

Are these bull walruses?

Don’t ever want to mess with one of them…..

Walruses don’t have legs, but they do have the four flippers, and run on them like dogs. I found an article that said walruses can’t move on land as well as in the water, but still pretty fast — about as fast as the average human. The bulls running at Pamplona, however, can reach top speeds of 30-35 mph, although usually the herd moves at about 15-20 mph.

anchorage alaska has their “running with the reindeer” each year during the fur rondy

Has any body seen Chumley? Tell him if you see him that Tennessee Tuxedo is looking for him.

Huh…I still sound like that when I cough. I’d probably fit right in!

‘The time has come’, the walrus said

‘to speak of many things’

‘of jerks and nuts and idiots’

‘who have these racing flings’.

In all seriousness (?), Anchorage really DOES have a “Running of the Reindeer”…I’ve never yet been drunk enough to participate in that! :)
