Love the Red Rose Tea and Snipe cards! Wasn't sure how many this would offend in the Sports forum (since I can't even type the correct word in these forums), though I guess it could go there. The only "rooster" fighting card I'm aware of.... 1915 Susini (Cuba)
this is a great card! ironically enough we just got back from san juan and there was a "clock" fighting arena right across from our hotel.
we got in on thursday night (same night as tropical storm erika) and were looking for something to do, as they closed the casinos down in case of a power outage.
anyway, i know it's a taboo subject, but when we travel we like to keep our american customs at the airport and indulge in the local culture and customs.
here is the arena. it was quite impressive and not at all the mental picture people tend to think of:
I totally stumbled on this thread and found it so amusing I had to add my favorite Charlie's Angels card. I only hope the humor stacks up well against the other posts here.
