pinky

thefunkyfresh by thefunkyfresh · Dec 2, 2003 · 338 views · Journal

a couple weeks ago i dislocated my pinky playing football. i was diving for a pass and i landed on it, i got up and it looked totally weird. I grabbed it and popped it back in before the pain hit, but now its been swollen for a few weeks. no biggie. but i've been trying to keep it moving to get the swelling to go down. this is not my storty though... it's just that because of this, i've realized that it's impossible to curl either pinky completely without bending my ring finger. is it just me, or does everybody have this problem (not that it's really a problem... but just interesting)

whoah yeah!! I even tried it holding my ring finger.. pretty tightly.. and it still bent!! crazy

my friend hurt his pinky when we went camping about a month ago, and he went to the doctor and i think he had a torn tendon.. and he's been wearing a pinky brace for the past month. It's kinda funny.

flomojopoanode #1.1 flomojopoanodeFounder

does he ever do the Dr. Evil thing putting his braced up pinky to his lip?

forrestina #2 forrestinaOG 2002

i can't do it, but i'm not sure if that means anything cus my right hand is completely jacked from when i broke my pinky.

thatdarngirl #3 thatdarngirlOG 2002

You never realized before that there is some connection between the little mind in your pinky and the little mind in your ring finger? Whatever one does, the other wants to do too.

flomojopoanode #4 flomojopoanodeFounder

I noticed when I play bass that something similar happens.

ilikebirds #5 ilikebirdsOG 2002

nope i can do it... my pinky is on it's own.. then again i can bend only the first knuckle.. and not any other...

thefunkyfresh #5.1 thefunkyfreshFounder

that's what i meant there doofus! i can bend the first 2 digits, but not the last one the whole way on either finger without moving the other

ilikebirds #5.1.1 ilikebirdsOG 2002

well im' counting the first knuckle is the one up by the NAIL. i can bend it all while not bending the ring.. and i can solely bend that one knuckle without pending any other knuckle on the finger... so i can give you highgive while pointing at you

jay79 #6 jay79OG 2001

so weird....definitely can't bend one without the other bending

That happens with everyone because your ring finger is your weakest finger. That's why women are supposed to apply makeup with it, it has the fewest muscles. The pinky pulls it.

rocksupastar #7.1 rocksupastarFounder

oh matt knows all about applying makeup.

yodasucka #7.1.1 yodasuckaOG 2003

so does Bryan Drummond... haha ain't that right richard?

malibu #7.2 malibuOG 2001

i never knew this. that's interesting.

forrestina #8 forrestinaOG 2002

now you have me thinking about my pinky. I just noticed that when I write on the white board at work...I balance my hand on the board with my pinky.

yodasucka #8.1 yodasuckaOG 2003

every one does that...

forrestina #8.1.1 forrestinaOG 2002

so everyone does matt's pinky thing...shorty you're killin me!

hunkpapap #9 hunkpapapOG 2003 informative

OK I'VE GOT IT!!! I DID IT!!! bend your pinky halfway, then grab it with your thumb like you are going to make the '3' symbol and you will have fully bent your pinky with out your ring finger bending at all. I AM A FINGER GENIUS!!

hunkpapap #9.1 hunkpapapOG 2003

sheesh i have no life...

thefunkyfresh #9.2 thefunkyfreshFounder

yeah but as soon as you try to flex the muscle, it goes all wacky again... sheeesh YOU BLEW IT!!!!!

hunkpapap #9.2.1 hunkpapapOG 2003

no really, i can do it while keeping it straight the whole time. Maybe yours bends but mine stays just fine...

thefunkyfresh #9.2.1.1 thefunkyfreshFounder

dude, how is this about YOU at all? this is about ME! my feeling! MY PINKY!!!

omegatweeter #10 omegatweeterOG 2003

i kinda know how you feel man. back in 7th grade, we were playing floor hockey in gym and this guy tripped me with his stick and i fell on my left pinky. didn't hurt at first, and i thought the pain was just normal, i just got up and continued playing. but when i got home, it started to hurt and swell up. i still thought it was normal, but then when i showed my mom, she was like omg i'm taking you to the doctor and it was actually fractured. i can bend my right pinky without havin to use my ring finger but my left pinky i have trouble with.

malibu #11 malibuOG 2001

hmmm. one time i fell outta my bed and broke my pinky.

forrestina #11.1 forrestinaOG 2002

i broke mine when jewy left her bag on the stairs after the meeting and i tripped. i fell into the wall and my pinky bent all the way back. after a splint wasn't working-they casted me like the "we come in peace" symbol.

thatdarngirl #11.1.1 thatdarngirlOG 2002

That must have been kind of exciting, did you get everyone to sign your caste or did you just paint it like ty-dye?

forrestina #11.1.1.1 forrestinaOG 2002

yes and it was hot pink

thatdarngirl thatdarngirlOG 2002

Oh wow..I'm jealous. I've always wanted a caste.

forrestina forrestinaOG 2002

you can have mine it's in my parents attic

malibu malibuOG 2001

forrestina forrestinaOG 2002

this is more gross...for a while, i saved the stitches from my wrist

yodasucka yodasuckaOG 2003

forrestina forrestinaOG 2002 yodasucka

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003 forrestina

forrestina forrestinaOG 2002 fivezero

yodasucka yodasuckaOG 2003 forrestina

forrestina forrestinaOG 2002 yodasucka

yodasucka yodasuckaOG 2003 forrestina

G-R-E-A-T!

forrestina forrestinaOG 2002 yodasucka

i'm going to wash your mouth out with soap because it's filthy with lies.

yodasucka yodasuckaOG 2003 forrestina

the tea-set was from GRAM btw...

forrestina forrestinaOG 2002 yodasucka

doesn't matter cus it's FAKE

malibu malibuOG 2001

i always think it would be awesome to break my leg and get a large pink cast. sick idea i know.

toxicgirlOG 2003

In elementary school I was jealous of all the kids who broke their legs. Since I was never successful in breaking my own leg, I just settled for stealing their crutches and jetting all over the playground at recess.

malibu malibuOG 2001

hahahaha. this is so funny. i used to steal them and run away!!!

rocksupastar rocksupastarFounder

breaking bones sucks... cause a month after they are on... they ITCH like MAD until you just want to kill yourself right then and there, and then you realize that you still have like 2 more months of it, and then
you go insane....

skaorsk8 skaorsk8OG 2002

umm. dude. who wears a cast for 3 months?? ridiculous.

anyway, all you gotta do is get a coat hanger, and bend it, then scratch whatever itches. it's a good method.

T
toxicgirlOG 2003

Don't doctors usually tell you not to jam things down the cast, namely coat hangers, to scratch itches?

malibu malibuOG 2001

but in the danhill world, we don't listen to doctors.

T
toxicgirlOG 2003 malibu

Yes because chances are the doctor has a fake degree hanging on the wall anyway. Or maybe an online doctor college diploma or something. Trust no one.

rocksupastar rocksupastarFounder

yea, when i broke my wrist, i had my cast on for 3 months bro... or something, well i know it was a long time... and it itched, and i fell into rivers and cracked it before i got it off, i think im mentally unstable NOW from those 3 months of hell...

yeah, every time I bend my pinky, i do a complete backflip. Seems for some reason when I was created the muscles in my pinky were accidentally linked to the mucles in my legs, as opposed to my ring finger. so its semi-fun, semi-inconvienent

fivezero #12.1 fivezeroOG 2003

nice visual

thefunkyfresh #12.2 thefunkyfreshFounder

HAHA!! matt you are amazing

punkprincess #13 punkprincessOG 2001
