A reader writes in, “Bob, you know a lot about bullfighting. What I wonder is, what do those bullfighters do to unwind after the fights?”
That is a good question. They are a very competitive bunch, and they tend to gather at matador bars for sugary cocktails and uncomfortable chit-chat. Let’s listen in…
“Hot enough for ya?”
“Eet’s not so much ze heat, as ze humeedity.”
“I hope you noticed, I was much more cruel to ze bools zan you were today.”
“You? I was TWICE as cruel to zem as anyone else!”
“Oh? Well, zat heedeous purple costume makes you look very fat.”
“Me? You could stand to cut back on ze flan, Juan! We have all seen you shopping in El Gordo Department at El Matador Store.”
“Hah! Look at ze seams in your sissy outfit. You are boolging like a piñata!”
“Hombres! Watch zees theeng I can do weeth my eyes!”
“You are so stupeed! Why don’t you just invite ze bool to gouge your eyes out?”
“So, what time do you theenk ze cute chicks will start to come in here?”
“Are you loco? Ze cute chicks NEVER come in here! Zey are inteemidated by our colorful sissy costumes. Also, our shoes smell of bool poop!”
“More Crème de Menthe, bartender. Make eet a double!”

More likely they’re putting items of clothing in front of themselves to hide the fact that they have no packages.
Very interesting combination of German and Spanish in their accents.
Sounds like a lot of bull to me.
Spin, I kinda agree with you…. look at the shape of that bum! Ah, only if the man looked more appetising…. sighhhh…….
last one is blocking his nose to stop from getting the stink of his killings kill him… sad
Morante must release sinus pressure to be at his best when fighting da bools.
This load of tedious drivel, happily brief just goes to show that comedy writing is an art and the fake Spanish accent? How lazy can you get. Roberto should stick to vaccuuming up the news. Hasta la proxima

Por favor no vuelva, fathead.
Now, now, Doc, opinions are welcome here. I will add that I faithfully transcribed that conversation just as I overheard it.
Mephisto needs some Dr. Scholls.
Did anyone see that news story the other week about the matador who ran away from the bull and was being sued for breach of contract as a result?
Mephisto, por favor Senor… ¡váyase de aquí
Really CrowGirl?? That’s awesome! Face the bull or face the courts! Brilliant!
Maybe they’ll have him shot for cowardice.
I did see a video clip of this. He turned and ran like a frightened child and vaulted over the wall.
