    Be forewarned: The ref will call fouls on the Competitors, Support Staff, and the General Audience. Bring lots of cash to pay the fines.

    NOTE from the Official Rules:

    Competitors may not break or cause to be broken their fingers, hand, wrist, arm, elbow or shoulder, nor may they tear or cause to be torn ligaments and other connective tissue. This rule applies regardless of how dramatic the injury may be or how much the audience may laugh at the site of your arm dangling beneath of your shoulder socket.

    I actually watched about 10 minutes of the Arm Wrestling World Championships on ESPN (Ocho?) the other night. A very strange thing indeed, and nothing like “Over The Top.”

    We may Video but it would be a lot better to actually be there for real, in person.

    Gah! Of all times to have a previous engagement! Perhaps I can talk my ladyfriend into going. If not, perhaps I can duct tape her to the wall and go anyways…naaah, if I did that, I’d have to stay with her for some creative adventures. You who do go to this wonderous event, please report everything juicy. ;)

    Where are the competition results? The ice storm outside has delayed this morning’s Daily Regress delivery, so I’m starved for CLAW news. Personally, my money was on Sian (in her weight class).

    Can you guys pleeeease send us pics/video links/standings!?

    @17 - thanks hipster! i had so much fun, i think i have to work on my accent a bit before next month, though. it was a little rough around the edges. my cousin vinny marathons anyone?

    @20 - kaity the harrible was the tournament winner and lefty red was the crowd favorite (she won the most betting money). i was too busy caring for the money to take pictures, but there were a ton of people there with cameras. so someone’s bound to share soon!

    The winner of the night was Kaity the Harrible
    The crowd favorite was Lefty Red, meaning she raised the most money for the cause of the month and won a trophy donated by The Voice Project with a poem written by the inmates.
    This is a list of the wrestlers. Don’t know about photo or film. Our in house photographer couldn’t make it so we will have to wait for others to surface. There were a million people taking pictures so…….

    Debbie “The Debutante” Danger
    The Sssssidewinder
    Southpaw Stiletto
    Ex-President Reagan
    The ChemMistress
    Magellan
    Lefty Red
    Kaity the Harrible

    P.S. I don’t do no wrestling. I am the nurse!

    [The Prim Reaper writes:]

    Good god almighty, last night was fun! Despite the icy conditions and countless sick CLAWfolk, we crammed the Blue Moon’s tiny nonsmoking room to the hilt, raised the decibel level in the neighborhood and raised….

    $602.90

    in two hours with selling just 25 t-shirts and the fake betting and bribing. I think we can feel pretty darn good about that!

    Thank you Charlottesville!

    Here are the results:

    FIRST HEAT

    Kaity the Harrible (Kaity)*
    vs.
    Magellan (Margaret)

    Debbie “The Debutante” Danger (Wistar)*
    vs.
    The ChemMistress (Lauren)

    The Sssssidewinder (Ros)*
    vs.
    Ex-President Reagan (Reagan)

    Left Red (Sandy)*
    vs.
    Southpaw Stiletto (Bree)

    SECOND HEAT

    Kaity the Harrible*
    vs.
    Debbie “The Debutante” Danger

    Left Red*
    vs.
    The Sssssidewinder

    FINAL

    Kaity the Harrible*
    vs.
    Left Red

    * WINNER

    TOURNAMENT WINNER: Kaity the Harrible
    CROWD FAVORITE: Lefty Red

    Red got the awesome trophy with the original poem from the inmates, courtesy of the Voice Project, and Kaity earned her claws, or more specifically a set of Hottie Police Fake Fingernails.

    Sweet Silma,

    You were close with that lineup, except:

    In the first heat, we had:

    Left Red (Sandy)* vs. Ex-President Reagan (Reagan)

    and then

    The Sssssidewinder (Ros)* vs. Southpaw Stiletto (Bree)

    Just gettin’ the fact’s straight for future plays.

    A hot night of wrastlin’, it’s true.

    I’ll be back. in vinyl.
