El Benjamino the Bull

Aside from his cantankernisms*, I think one of the main reasons people find Tom Benjamin so loveably huggable is his sense of humour:

James Mirtle points me to a piece in the South Florida Sun-Sentinal about the Canuck dressing room soap opera. (I appreciate the heads up, but sometimes I can't help feeling like a bull responding to Mirtle waving a red flag.)

[Spanish guitars begin strumming wildly in the background. The forlorn matador, Mirtliago, turns his head to the sky, longing for the days when danger didn't mean being gored by a bull's piercing horns.]

"Toro!"

"El Benjamino — usted es el mío!"
