Opposable Thumbs Rock!
Have you ever thought about opposable thumbs?
No, really. Have you ever thought about them?
Opposable thumbs rock. They allow you to do all sorts of things that very few other creatures on Earth can do. They have become such a part of our daily routine that we never think about them anymore. We just use them and ignore them.
I know this because at the moment I only have use of one of my thumbs due to a rather stupid accident. Until I can use my left thumb without wincing I'm going to have all sorts of problems (at least I'm right handed). It's a real pain to button pants and tie shoes without using one thumb. You should try it sometimes. But of course I still try to use it because the action is so automatic, and then I am left in a great deal of pain.
Yes, I'm whining. I promise to shut up soon.
Entries will be curtailed until I can type without feeling pain run through my bones. Also until I sort out some fairly life changing events.
That is all.

I have never had any of my fingers broke, accident, loan shark, or otherwise, so I admit I can't share my interesting thumb breaking stories with you (although one time my thumb got slammed in by a car door and it still worked, though it was a son of a bitch to use because it was so swollen. It looked like a big purple grape.)
Did you try any of the healing potions at Raoul's? If that didn't work and you find that your thumb is too much of a fleshy nusiance, you can try the local street docs in the alleys somewhere. They got me my new bluetooth middle finger. When I get the computer implanted into my head, I can surf the internets and insult people at the same time. It's stealth wardriving, man, get with the 22nd century!

Isn't surfing the internet AND insulting people technically ONE activity? Or can we surf without insulting?
