I thought this was America here... We don't call them the Re-introduced Lobos in the Vail Valley, so why call pack mule racing "burro racing"? English, it's the language we speak. Fuck.

I raced some burros once... I even won. Thank you Xbox and Red Dead Redemption for that chance!

But why burro racing when there is as many cyclists for example? You mean you can't come up with a better sport? Don't get me wrong, sounds like a shit show to me! I mean that would be a hell of a good time and a hell of a good hang over!
But our official sport?

Mules and burros are two different animals...

Ya but if you drive by a burro with your diesel and smoke him out, he'll sue for animal cruelty.

I knew you were getting at that point, I wanted to be an ass [Coffee]

Burros are donkeys

Mules are half breeds of horses and donkeys.

Nice play on words... And yes I know what mules are, thanks for the reminder. I just see them both as the stubborn smaller versions of horses (really don't care, my cowboy hat has been collecting dust in my closet for years!)

You can't possibly be this upset about this? What do you call tacos? Do you eat them?

Burro is way more fun to say though. Now I want to see a race.

I'll take an order of hard sided, open face, ground beef sandwiches on corn please.

Cycling
Hiking
Climbing
Mountaineering
Skiing
Snowboarding
Snow Shoeing
Beer

And they pick burro racing?

I'm sure more people attended Frozen Dead Guy Days than race burros.

It's probably just some political move to get more Hispanic votes. As far as Fox news goes, no one would read it if they didn't title it like that and sex up the story. The whole thing is a publicity stunt, for the purpose of publicity.

Did you know those giant dust storms are called Haboobs? That shits Arabic. How DARE a meteorological terminology come from a ferrign language!

Oh crap, I just looked it up, and the word "meteorology" is from the Greek!

We're in trouble... but Trouble is from the Old French, so we'll need a new word for it.
