Like bullfighting. This is not a joke:

↵↵Omar Vizquel is done catching massive snakes. Next up, he wants to become a matador.

↵The Texas Rangers infielder, who last winter searched for anacondas, plans to try bullfighting when he goes home to Venezuela this winter.

↵“Just go and learn the basics and stuff,” Vizquel said. “It’s one of my things on the to-do list. There’s a lot of things still to do.”

↵↵Oh yeah, you know, just the basics. Like fighting thousand-pound mammals and wrestling with deadly snakes. You know. Guy stuff.
