My wife and I went to Madrid last weekend (6/7/8). We went to a museo del jamon on the Friday and were invited by some guys in there to go and watch a game of baseball on Saturday (8am to 10am) in the retiro park. We
went to watch along with around 100 other people. When the game started we were amazed to see that the batting side used a pigs leg instead of a bat. It was a funny thing to watch as all of the players were walking around dressed in baseball outfits carrying pigs legs. However at the end of the game there was a bit of trouble and both sides started fighting with the pigs legs. People ended up having to go to hospital with black eyes and broken bones and one spectator got killed by flying ham, who I later found out was vegetarian. Is this a tradition because I have never heard of it ?

Is this some kind of bizarre, sick joke?!

I take it everyone is ignoring martymoose in the hope that he goes away. Well I think he has a sense of humour - and I think it's Canadian...

uh-huh. so how about it, group. ig-nore!

those wacky Canadians!! Take off, eh!

Hey, keep us Canadians out of it! Sarah - if his name were Martyhighlandsheep would you think he's Scottish?

Got to agree with Brian here. Just because the guy says some weird stuff (probably from watching "Jamon, Jamon" one too many times, or maybe "Huevos de Oro" sent him over the top), does not mean he is from Canada. So stop pointing fingers or else Scotland gets it!! And I mcmean that!!

Glad to see we all agree - regardless of where Moose/Mouse comes from - perhaps ignoring his rather fractured sense of humor might work .... I'm just getting tired of biting tongue - or more correctly, forcing myself not to type those #%W$^#&$&%$@ words!

Hi

I don´t think he is Canadian nor Scottish. He probably doesn´t know what "Jamón, Jamón" or "Huevos de oro" are.

He just forgot to take his medication...

Ok, ok, relax people. I'm Canadian too, just happen to live in Scotland now. I meant that peculiar sense of humour seems Canadian to me (along the lines of Kids in the Hall). And before you all jump down my throat, no I don't mean all Canadians have that sense of humour either. Hell, it's like walking on bloody eggshells in here - you can't say anything.
