Last night I was at the youth group meeting for my church. After it was over some of the other boys got into an arm wrestling contest. This one guy who was beating everyone but his brother, in the end he beat me. It's bad enough that I lost, but I'm at least a head taller than him, much bigger, have a longer arm. He is either really strong or does some weird thing that helps him win. I now must beat him or I'll be upset about this for as long as I can remember it. Does anyone know of a technique that can help me? And if you answer put a @Lord Daskar in your most or I might not see it.

A 2-year old kid in Disney World got killed by an alligator. Condolences to the parents. 

Yeah, but the parents let him go into a restricted area which was restricted for a reason.

Oh. Well then. That was. . . stupid, to say the least in a completely blunt way.

In all fairness, while they might have said it was restricted, I don't think they said there were alligators there. That information might have changed the parents' inclination to visit.

@Lord Daskar
It has to do with arm strength, concentration, and the start off. If you have a strong forearm, it helps. That and biceps. In addition to those muscles, you kind of need to use your entire upper body, and concentrate on using that muscle to your advantage.
A big reason arm wrestles go one way or the other is the immediate start off. As soon as it's time to start, both people's wrists strain against each other. The thing you need to do is snap your wrist down immediately; whoever has this is more likely to overpower the other person as their opponent is more stretched out. That's why it's important to have a strong forearm.
I arm wrestled a guy a few days ago who seemed pretty strong. I ended up beating him with my right arm, but with the left arm, we were at it for a good three minutes straight. He ended up pulling his hand away completely, wanting to restart, so we did. This time, he ended up doing the wrist pull first, and I was pulled down. However, due to my forearm strength, I was able to pull my arm back up and push his hand back and my hand inward.

Also, some people can beat others who look stronger because, while they may be "buff", their muscles aren't tempered for endurance.

Yeah, but the parents let him go into a restricted area which was restricted for a reason. Now four alligators are dead for following their natural instinct

The sign just said not to swim. The kid was dipping his toes in the water, and the parents tried to fight the alligator, so they're not terrible parents.

Thanks, I'll try that next time.

I know, I just mentioned it to make y'all pity me and post.

Doing it again.

[The Skarzs]

Noticed the Inception thing you posted in "Who You Gonna Call?".

[Hickory]

I meant to post something else.... check again in a minute.

[The Skarzs]

What was that RP about? Ghosts and stuff, like Ghostbusters?

[Hickory]

Yes.

I just got back from a graduation of one of my old neighbors. We haven't seen them in a while because we moved when I was five and my sister was seven (twelve years). We've seen them a few times since then, but not a whole lot. It was nice seeing them again.

Anyway, there was a moment where the parents got teary because one of their biggest memories of me was when I almost died as a child. I suppose they were really happy to see how much I had grown when I could have not been here.

[The Skarzs]

@That last part: o_O

They invited you after all those years of not seeing them? They must have been pretty good friends with your parents.

No one is posting... it's almost one in the morning. Who doesn't get on at one in the morning? I sure do. Especially when I can't sleep.
