<<<left<<< or >>>Right>>>

Raise your hand and answer:

What do y'all think about lefties?

is it good to swing the bat as a righy or a lefty?
Etc,............

if it helps to know, I'm Left handed.

[beavis]

lefties have a small advantage as base runners.

[Happy Monkey]

Lefty here. It's good, as far as it goes.

[perth]

Semi-ambidextrous. I do certain things with each hand. I write and mouse with my right, but throw, bow, and bat left. A couple things I can do equally well with each hand, like use tools (hammer, screwdriver) and paint.

Only my tailor knows for sure,

[Nothing But Net]

Throws: Left
Bats: Right

My little league coach said I had promise.

Looking back, I probably didn't do enough drugs to have ever made it in the Majors.

Only 2 lefties in my family: my grandma and my daughter. When my grandma went to school in the early 1900s, they wouldn't let them use their left hand to write. Things are a bit more enlightened now, although I was once politely asked to "not change the computer around" by an employee at the public library when I moved the mouse at one of the computers in the kiddie room over to the other side for my daughter. When I (equally politely) explained that she is left handed and has trouble using the mouse with her right hand, the woman literally looked as if the whole concept of left-handedness had never occurred to her.

They don't mention it on their web site, but unless they stopped doing it recently, this place in the Poconos sells left-handed novelties. (My daughter picked up a ruler that says "Lefties Rule".)

Kind of like Ned Flander's "Leftorium" store?

[SteveDallas]

Yeah except without the sports car! I think it's more oriented to novelties (like the ruler) than to actual useful stuff like left-handed can openers. (And yes the wares are every bit as yummy as they look on the web site.) The place is family-run, so I suspect there's a lefty in the family who stocks the left-handed stuff as a labor of love, or defiance against a right-handed world, or both.

Me too ...
Right - write, play pool, use scissors
Left - Throw, apply mascara
Both - use mouse/iron/hammer/screwdriver, stir/beat things in the kitchen, open doors, brush teeth ...

Help me understand, you're left-handed and have a heartbeat? Why don't you have a contract to pitch for the Red Sox?

[Tomas Rueda]

Well, I do most of the stuff with either hand, I don't really put that much thought into it. one exeption is when I am stunned by the eternal problem with the manual can opener (I have an electric one but it is not powerful enough) so I question and ponder: Left or no Left, That is the question.

Maybe so, but so are lots of other people. And I bet most of them know how to use a semicolon.

Actually, I kind of dig being ambidextrous, it's great for fucking with people. I wish I could say it's because I'm a prodigy or something, but the truth is far more mundane. I'm clumsy enough to have broken my right arm four times during my childhood, forcing me to learn a great many basic skills with my left hand.
