If you haven’t had a chance to witness a C.L.A.W. (Charlottesville Ladies Arm Wrestling) event, I’ve found a pretty cool video on YouTube of a match between Pitbull and Sparkles.

When Sparkle threw down Pitbull in that first round, I totally effing lost it. Of course, she didn’t win, but she was awesome! sparkle motion!
Maybe I’m just not getting it but this video is pretty annoying. I like the CLAW idea but after hearing about it and building it up in my mind this is not what I expected. Pictured more of a back room series of arm wrestling matches heading towards a lame conclusion similar to Stallone’s Over the Top blockbus… er movie. Instead it’s more like a comedy act that drags on a little too long. Let me know if I’m missing the point.

well, there’s an energy that builds through the matches. And you’re packed in like sardines, so there’s lots of body contact. And there’s beer.
There’s beer? Well now that’s different.
Let me see
Beer + Body Contact + this video …….. nope still not feeling it.
-I guess this is a “must be present to win” type event
Cortez, why don’t you try it out? Plenty of people have been very entertained by CLAW and it’s all for charity, so it would be wise to taste before you critique?
Fair enough… . Charity is great and CLAW has been getting good hype. 5 was meant as a retreat/joke since MC clued me in that event was best enjoyed live.
Not sure how to put smileys in post, so joke = fail
B’ yo, did you teach a class on backtracking? Between this thread and the neighborhoods, everyone’s doing it.
Why are you always on me about that, echo? Seriously.
Because it entertains me. And that’s really the only reason I’m here, entertainment.
Besides, you know what happens when you cannot admit you are wrong, doncha? This.
@ 10 Alright little ceasar, I will resist the urge to go all Joe Pesci on you (”do i entertain you?”), and instead just file that away in “the list of things I thought I knew about villains, but was horribly wrong” bin. Thanks for the update.
Cripes, this joint has a dark side. It started off so positive and supportive and shit. Silliness was where it was at. Is it just my admitted insanity and paranoia, or are folks here subtly turning on one another? I am just as guilty as anyone here on that it seems. So much angry! Is it just the nature of the internets? Am I just projecting the clusterfuck that is my life onto this little microcosm? God damn that Carl Jung and his bedeviled mirror! But ferreals, what is up? Where is the love?
Fuck it. Its probably all in my head. I need some sleep.
words on screens can come across in so many ways. infinite room for different colouring.
sleep helps, too.
/is bedeviled like bejewled? crafty Carl Jung.
@7 same way you put smileys anywhere: colon parenthesis
@13 scoriole i’m surprised you didn’t get lit the fuck up for that one. not yet, at least.
@14 Thanks for the free intarweb lesson. I was just being extra lazy…. as MC said over in the Neighborhood thread “You can say whatever dick thing you want, but just put a smiley on the end and it becomes sarcastic or just for fun. seems lazy”

all’s I know is this: I fell a leetle beet in luv with Sparkles that night. what an arm! what a giggle! I hope she competes again next month.
I agree with Cortez thought, I was watching the video and thinking, “Less talk more action!” I wanted to see more arm-wrestling and quicker.
@19 Thanks for your support
I think she may be more interested if the referee was naked and drizzled with boysenberry and damson cordial. Least I would be………..
okay, I like this video, but a 6 minute static shot doesn’t represent CLAW. In between the “action” there’s side betting, trash talk, scoping cuteness around the ring, creative rule making/breaking. it’s fluid. it’s a crowd. it’s fun!
