The Annual North American Championship Rodeo is tough. Tough as nails, in fact. And they'd like to know why you think you're so tough. In particular, ARE YOU TOUGH ENOUGH TO WEAR PINK? Eight lucky winners are going to win a pair of tickets to the "Tough enough to wear pink" night at the Rodeo, Friday, November 13th.

A portion of that evening's ticket proceeds will be donated to support breast cancer research.

If you're not lucky enough to win tickets you can still have a great time and know you're supporting a great cause!

      * Friday, Nov. 13– “Tough Enough To Wear Pink” night at the Rodeo. Adult tickets are $27 and Children (under 12) tickets are $10

I'm 6'7, over 300 lbs. I was a bouncer for a hip-hop club here in louisville for over 2 years. I grew up in rougher neighborhoods, and in general just grew up both physically tough, and with tough skin. I'm not a big fan of the color pink personally but if I choose to wear it, I believe that my size, reputation, and the respect I get would allow me to do so without any trouble. Might get a few odd glances at the big guy in pink, but I think that would be part of the fun of doing it. I love shock value anyway. If they would have let me do it at the club, I would have been down there bouncing in pink just because it would have been fun to do. Wearing it to support breast cancer research is something I'd do by itself, so the shock value I could get by doing so would only be an added bonus.

I'm so tough that I HAVE to wear pink just to put people at ease.

I wear pink because my other clothes are bloodstained from the fight where I was so tough I kicked Chuck Norris' ass.

At first I was kind of put out when breast cancer stole the color pink, much like when the homosexuals stole the word fabulous. I feel it was and intensive choice, being that one in every 100 breast cancer cases is a man. So if some poor bastard is unlucky enough to get breast cancer, they have the added emasculation of pink as their universally known color and cute tee shirts that tell them to 'Fight like a girl'. In closing, that 1% must be pretty tough, and I'd wear pink for them.

I make pink my bitch at least 2 times a week. I think they should add pink as a belt color in martial arts. Forget going green. GO PINK! I would even wear pink to a funeral for four rodeo tickets.

I think my pink leather pants would look right nice next to a big bull.

I'm a Marine first, Fire fighter second and a Paramedic third. I wear pink and dare someone to make fun of me. Not only will I kick your butt and set you a fire, I have the skills to put you out and revive you so I can do it again. J.K. Me wear pink HELL YES. I got no problem with that! Do you? God be with all breast cancer victims. I'll keep wearing pink to help find a cure. Think Pink and buy pink. It just might save someone you love. It saved my aunt. Thank you.

Sorry Dave used my acct. Its ok. Im just not the one who is the Marine, firefighter and Paramedic. I totally stand behind him.

Okay, maybe all bouncers in the Kentuckiana area shouldn't throw anyone wearing pink out of any establishment on Friday also. Let's just make it pink night for the whole area.
Maybe every Friday night could be breast cancer awareness day.
A bit much, huh?
Well, I would like to see the money from breast cancer research go to finding the CAUSE instead of just the cure.
I sure would like to win those tickets.
Then I could spend my money on something else out there.....like maybe a heifer.....no, no, a STEER.

8 winners will be selected tomorrow (Wednesday), so jump on board now if you'd like to be entered to win!
     ArtByAlida   tue nov 10 2009 at 5:23 pm         · 
Chuck, I couldn't find the exact rules of the contest....
Can we enter as many times as we tell you how tough we are?
If so, I am tough enough to wear pink on Friday night, no matter if I win tickets or not.
Will bouncers protect me if I wear pink? I hear those cowboys are a bit wild.
Do they carry guns?

I believe i'm tough enough to wear pink because i've been through cancer myself and know how much it takes to fight it. I was first diagnosed with cancer in 1985 with lymphoma and withstood chemotherapy and radiation. I overcame both of those obsticles and concidered that a miracle. In 2001 I was diagnosed with lung cancer. I was operated on and a piece of my right lower lobe was removed. Again i walked on and lived my life. Here recently I was thought to have had lung cancer once again, but luckily after opening me up they found only scar tissue. I have lived through cancer twice and I know it's not easy. I pray for cancer patients and hold them near my heart. Even without winning this contest, I will wear the color pink to suppport those with Breast Cancer. I am tough enough to wear pink!

With todays economy it would be very hard for me to scrounge up enough couch change to attend this event,but I believe im tough enough to wear pink because i REALLY want to win a pair of tickets to the rodeo for a wonderful girl who is dealing with the struggle of her aunts stage 4 breast cancer. She is a hard working student that is dealing with a very stressful time in her life. To hand her two tickets to a rodeo that supported the fight for her aunt and many others that are suffering from breast cancer would be nothing but a blessing to me. It would be my honor to wear pink to this event and support the fight for breast cancer if i could have the gift of making her and her aunt very happy in attending this event. :)

I'm a single mom who fixes my own car, mows my own grass, has built a privacy fence and deck, all while raising the best kid around and finishing a second master's degree - all by meyself. I'm tough enough to wear pink! Plus, I look good in pink. ;)

A man would have to be a coward and a moron not to wear pink to support the fight against breast cancer. Wearing pink symbolizes supporting women and opposing cancer, who in their right mind doesn't feel that way already? Men usually don't like wearing pink, but that's the whole point. A man wearing pink sends the message that he supports the fight against breast cancer and wants people to know it. A man that opposes wearing pink more than he opposes breast cancer isn't much of a man.

I already raise money for cancer research, in honor of my incredibly brave stepmom. She was diagnosed with brain cancer, a kind that almost nobody survives. 90%+ of people with that kind of cancer die within two years, but four years later she's alive and kicking. She fought like Anne Bonny and whipped cancer's ass. It wasn't breast cancer, but she's an inspiration to anyone facing cancer. If I win these tickets, I'll take her and dad, then buy my own ticket, which will help even more.

OK, we have our winners! BIL, Fender, Monkeyman, TeacherGal, MorganJDaniel, Beverly Bartlett, Lish and Jill-O-Rama will all be going to the Rodeo on Friday night. If anyone would like to go for free, you should start sucking up now! ;-)

Shayne will be in touch with you guys shortly on how to retrieve your tix. Thanks for playing!

Best,
- Chuck

I'm so tough, that when I wear pink, people pretend they're color blind just so they don't piss me off.
