Something to fill the void in the off Fiesta months when we’re missing our beloved Greasy Pole. Or maybe we could set it up for this Friday’s block party. Start out at the intersection of Middle and Hancock and let it demolish people all the way down to I4C2.

Telegraph– A Spanish village’s attempt to invent a “cruelty-free” version of bull-running by replacing the animals with giant balls has ended in tragedy after two people were seriously injured.
One man was left in a coma after sustaining a serious head injury when he was crushed against metal barriers by the 300-kilogramme resin ball which chased runners around the town of Mataelpino, near Madrid during the event over the weekend.
Another man suffered three broken ribs and concussion.
The mayor of Mataelpino, whose idea of substituting in the balls – painted with bull’s faces – seven years ago has been emulated by other Spanish towns, has said the council will review its safety protocols before next year’s event.
Good times!
Good Morning Gloucester 
300 kilos is 660 pounds. Cut that down to about 200 pounds, maybe use a large Rubber Duck and I’m all in.
