Toro Award?

For people who have been around awile. What is the Toro award? How do you qualify for one? I almost got nominated once.

Re: Toro Award?

....and, I banned the use of the Toro award. I couldn't believe ministers didn't see anything wrong with it. Prax still disagrees with me, but we've agreed to disagree.

Re: Toro Award?

It was a picture of a bull that would be posted as "an award" when someone stated something ridiculous or they were "full of bull." My argument is we all know what is usually said after bull.

There were ministers from the con camp that thought nothing of it. And they say us liberals don't have any standards.......sure, we do!

Got it. Is it literally "Bull" that we're full of because that doesn't really make any sense. It seems like it would make more sense if we said someone were full of something that's actually in the bull and the bull emits. Maybe I'm over-thinking it.

Re: Toro Award?

Many of you new folks have no clue of all the funny things that were used in the past.

We have the Lexicon of words/phrases used here:

(The Toro Award didn't make this list)

My point exactly!

You're full of b.s. (well, we know what that is) and though it might not be considered a curse word to many, I personally feel that it's not a word a Christian needs to say to another Christian. So, why would you say they are full of bull knowing full well what you really mean.
