The bunfighter whirled, spinning on his heel as he stood high, driving the banderillas downwards into the crown of the bun, releasing a steady stream of thick, red strawberry jam.
Several more passes, the crowd roaring with anticipation and excitement.
Finally, came the faena... the kill. The
Panadero drove his sword deep into the bun, performing the descabello perfectly. The bun stopped, resting on its carriage in the middle of the arena.
A group of apprentices emerged from a hidden gate, tearing the bun to pieces, slathering them with whipped cream and powdered sugar and throwing them to the baying crowd.
All of the excitement; all of the thrill; none of the rabble of protestors normally seen at the old bullfights. I'll be at every bunfight I can find, from now on. I especially like the Sunday ones, where the bun is shaped like a bull, with a gigantic croissant in place of its horns.

I am honored to be the first person annoing on this absolutely ridiculous insanity explosion. (+) |

You're channeling Michael Bentine again. (Only in his case, the bun was a ferocious bunny rabbit.) |

Mayhem! Chaos! Sharp instruments! Whipped cream! Excellent! Croissant with jam (ready for stabbing) for you... |
|
| |
english bunfights take place at the church hall and are <yawn> so boring... |
|
| |
Well, [po], now you know how to reinvigorate them. |
|
| |
I've never even heard of Michael Bentine, [DC]. What does he do?... apart from stab buns to death? |
|
| |
Bun if you can have a pantomime cow with extra-large croissant affixed to it’s head, like horns. Skewers would be special effects collapsing kind – ole! |

<obligatory "whenI first read this" anno> When I first read this I was anticipating a sort of "Bunfight at the OK Corral", but this is so much better. Viva, UB, viva! |

Just tell me which day of the week features a raspberry bunuelo and I'll be there. Mmm, raspberry! |
|
| |
Fantastic - now that's what I call service - mmmm giant croissant! |

A masterpiece of psychology. Unimaginative cruelty to animals=fishbones |
|
| |
Imaginative replacements for cruelty to animals= buns. |
|
| |
Such a magnificent display of absurdity calls for an illustration. |
|
| |
Will there be a running of the buns? |

I was picturing Clint Eastwood, riding into town in a relatively good mood, graduallly loosing his patience at repeated injustices, only to finally load up on baked goods and go wreak havoc on evildoers. |

Now, there's an odd image, [normzone]. |
