Is he Portuguese?

As we all know, I sometimes say really dumb things.  In all honestly, I try to be smart, but stupid things escape my mouth for unknown reasons (I can usually blame wine).  Recently I think I really confused some Montanans... on accident.



A couple weeks ago on my 28th 18th Birthday I went out to lunch with Henry's cousins Jalea and Jill.  I was asking Jill about her boyfriend and she said he was a Bullfighter.  I immediately ask:

"Is he Portuguese?"

Now, this might seem like a strange question (looking back now) because not everyone has lived central California and been to an infamous Portuguese Bull Fight.  Those of you that have been know, that anyone who is a "Bullfighter" is Portuguese, OR Spanish of some sort.  RIGHT?  Speaking of which, if you have never seen a suicide squad in action, I highly recommend it. 



Anyway, back to my story.  I was watching TV the other day and there was a special on about "Bullfighters" and I thought oh! wait... Thats... not... a... bull.. fighter... omg... that's what a bullfighter is???????

When you say "BULLFIGHTER" in Montana:
Its those nice guys that save the BullRIDER from being seriously injuried

When you say "BULLFIGHTER" in California (or Spain, or Mexico):
Its those pretty men that dress up and whip a cape around

Apparently "Rodeo Clown" is not the appropriate term... NOTED!

Now I look back at that conversation with Jill and think, I wonder what the hell she thought when I asked RANDOMLY if her boyfriend was Portuguese.

So, Bullfighter vs Rodeo Bullfighter, write that down.

Also, to add idiocy to myself even more, Jill works in the Rodeo industry, so if I would have stopped, thought, processed, I would have come to the conclusion that her boyfriend was not a Portuguese Bullfighter, but in fact a Rodeo Clown Bullfighter.

Here's Jill's Boyfriend, being a badass BULLFIGHTER

This is amazing!!! Thanks for the tip! I will try to remember that when I come to visit. They are NOT rodeo clowns, but bullfighters! :)

And of course I love a good Portuguese suicide squad!
