Spoodurance Trials

The Spoodurance Trials are most accurately defined as the Vampire Sex Olympics, in which 4 contestants of a Twilight order compete to please their judges in any sex-related way possible.

The competitors are from Stephenie Meyer's books: Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, and more to come. They are: Carlisle Cullen, a.k.a. Dr. Feel, Emmett Cullen, the "bear" man, Jasper Hale, who keeps on whamming and whamming and whamming, and Edward Cullen, who knows what you want and exactly how you want it.

The Spoodurance Trials took place on the Twilight Lexicon on the imfamous Vampire Mating Threads. The official mascot for Trials is Spooderman, who made regular appearances throughout the event. Over a period of 4 days, the contestants were given ONE chance with each judge, and their individual trainers assisted them in this task.

The Spoodurance Trials unearthed much in the way of disturbing, yet satisfying, thoughts. Some of these include: mechanical bulls, Batman costumes, genderless Ryan Seacrest, snakes, pole dancing for vampires, glow-in-the-dark condoms, Kama Sutra and paint by the bucketloads.
