    This reminds me of the book "Ferdinand," about the gentle bull who gets sent to Madrid to fight. Was this translated into Spanish?

    "Once upon a time in Spain, there was a little bull named Ferdinand. All the other bulls he lived with would run and jump and skip and butt their heads together. But not Ferdinand. He liked to sit just quietly and smell the flowers..."

    A very good story, one of my daughter's favorites.

        Marquis, yes Not the book but the Disney recreation of the story. Good ol' Ferdinando, the gay bull

        It's also one of my daughter's favorites.... and also of my own childhood.

        It's so funny the way Hollywood depicted Spain in the 30s-40s (?). It looked suspiciously identical to Mexico

        I never quite understood however why the name Ferdinand was 'spanishized' to Ferdinando, when it should have been Fernando, a very common name

            I guess that's quite like a "capea" then. Just a bunch of drunken friends emulating bullfighters, preferably fighting "vaquillas", not toros, of course.

                Ottok may have had more than just poor English. He had a very strange logic/structure in his posts. I would say 70/30 that he had some other mental issues. I remember Stefu saying this once. (He denies that he did say this. That's what I remember though...)

                    For example: our soccer league match cand end with a equal score but yours not. It's curious the different ways that we like sport
                    I was just kidding around, i dont care what you call it, i think we all know what each other mean.

                    As for the comment about our soccer league ... its all part of our plan, we pretend to be bad, that way we can launch surprise victories and beat teams like portugal!
