It took place during the carnival in Spain’s north-western village of Laza, and I’m sure all the participants had a blast.  May I just interject here and express my dismay at the US?  Look, we have some decent stuff.  We do No Pants Subway rides (which was adopted from Canada).  We have crazy spring breaks and wacko concerts in deserts.  I’ll give us that.

But do we ever do weird Europe stuff like this?  And I’m referring to crazy messy stuff.  Like giant tomato fights, and a holiday where the town puts a ham on a greasy pole and the first person who can get it down wins.  Like, do we have that stuff here?

If there’s anything like this, please email me or comment in this article.  I really want to get a running list of interesting stuff the USA does.  Because for now all we have are flour fight pictures from Spain (which are good in their own right).
