Time Austin Meier spent on Deja Blu:  1.72 seconds, which I'm pretty sure is less than you-know-who spent on him.

Number of Indy circuits I watched waiting for Saturday night's broadcast: Maybe three before I got bored and dizzy.

Number of times I almost wrote Charlottesville instead of Charlotte:  A few.  I once had a bad boyfriend with a good dog in Charlottesville, so it tends to come to mind.

Number of bulls that used to be called something else:  Near as I can tell, 5.  The most prominent of which was Hank, who is now called Blue Emu's After the Pain.

Number of bulls with sponsorship names:  10

Number of bulls with names they'd get beat up for if they were in seventh grade:  1.  This is very subjective and I urge you to send me your votes for this category if you feel I have missed any.  The only bull that might be in trouble this weekend is Poster Boy, but it's marginal.
