Er, pardon my ignorance, but what exactly is crab pulling :?

I've pulled a few dogs in my life but I've never pulled a crab. I must go and watch how it's done... And why? :run:

Bristolian I believe that a flea comb, is the required equipment in this sport.

Nike, Coca Cola and Adidas are looking at sponsoring the sport, but as yet, have not figured out where on the contestants, to stick their logo's, due to the differing sizes of available advertising space. :wink:
