So what's the play there? Try to get up and risk having him take a run at you? Stay down and hope that he doesn't trample you but decides to walk away? Roll to a side?

Stay down. Most, if not all of the fatalities come from bulls goring people in the neck and chest as they're struggling to get back up. It's harder to be trampled to death by just a handful of bulls, and I guess they try to avoid stepping on people because it slows them down.

Draft Dodger 07-12-2013 03:06 PM

at some places, you get a little electronic ding when you open the door to alert the clerks that someone is entering or leaving. whenever I'm walking up to one of those places, I like to give a random Jeopardy answer - What is appendicitis - just before opening the door.

I still do that too. And my 6 year old daughter and I race then argue about whose force actually opened the door. I also do it with the van if I have to automatic side door opener.

I think he means pulling into the intersection waiting to turn, something the people around here call "merging" for some reason.

Only time I ever got hit was when I was 17 and a guy did just this. He pulled out into the intersection to turn as I was coming through, then gunned it to try to get ahead of me. His excuse was the light turned yellow and I shouldn't have gone, but witnesses said I was passing through the intersection when the light went yellow.

Interestingly, I was taught by my driving instructor to do exactly this, so you only have to go left as opposed to moving forward and left. He also taught me to keep my tires straight, so if I'm hit from behind, I will be pushed forward, but not into incoming (oncoming?) traffic.

That would mean he would have been hit on the passenger side. This was cross traffic?

SI, my best guess would be Juneau, Alaska or one of the Alaskan Panhandle places that handles the large cruise ships.

sterlingice 07-24-2013 09:38 AM

I couldn't think of a US city that large near that many snowy mountains. Denver or Colorado Springs aren't really sandwiched inbetween and I think the Alaska cities are too small. But I could be wrong.

Something international maybe? Bogota could look like that at night but I don't think the nearby mountains were snowy as it's at the equator.

Someplace in Japan?

molson 07-24-2013 12:16 PM

I think it's Juneau. The city in the photo doesn't look that big, the shot isn't from very high-up of a vantage point, and you can almost make out individual buildings.

As comparison, here's a photo of Juneau at night form Google images.



Edit: Or not. Juneau's still awesome though.

if you look over his right shoulder, there are giant letters in the sky that say DJ Bert

dawgfan 07-31-2013 03:01 PM

I think it's just that it's such ridiculous setup - an album cover for:

- Someone calling themselves a DJ, which typically implies a very urban aesthetic
- But the name is DJ "Bert", which is about as unhip a name as you can find (sorry to any Berts out there)
- With a picture of a guy that looks nothing like the smooth, slick, hip urban folks that are typically DJs
- In a setting that is close to the polar opposite from an urban DJ setting

Basically, the whole picture is a "WTF"?

I kind of doubt there's actually anything more to the picture than that.
