I think this is probably the best way they can strengthen their middle fingers so they can flip you off for going too slow on the autobahn!!
"das ist verruckt"
"Flesh Sword Fighting" in San Francisco. They don't use hot dogs either.
Oh come on, be real men and tie those on the end of your peckers then tug. Loser talks with a extremely high pitch the rest of their life.
OOOH! That looks so painful...And very funny Doug, LOL...
Go ahead...give 'em the finger!
Thats not the version of pull my finger that my dad taught me
I would love to see a sumo wrestler plop down on that bench next to one of these skinny guys...
Have them squeeze the loop around their giant pudgey middle finger.
And then watch the skinny guy strain and struggle while the sumo wrestler just laughes his arse off before yanking him over the table like a sack of potatoes.
That looks like fun.. definitely silly, weird and painful but, a nice pint of that great German beer.. and you can count me in.. Ya!
Looks like more than a pint! Those beer mugs are huge!
I have tried to study many traditional forms of wrestling around the world....this is a unique one. -wrestlingroots
