thumb wrestling regimen

http://cellar.org/showthread.php?goto=newpost&t=19076


do you dawdle, and stay wide, waiting for your opponent to slip up, or go straight for the kill?

This is how lumberjim showers at the gym. Lurking around the corner, soaping up his erect member.

The waiter at the restaurant had his thumb in my soup when he served it to me.
WTF? Dude, your thumb is in my soup.

Well I have arthritis in my thumb and my doc told me to keep it warm, so I'm soaking it in your soup.

WTF? Dude. Why don't you stick your thumb up your ass?

Well, I do that when I'm in the kitchen.

Never seen thumb wrassling before.
We used to play Knuckles though.
Especially during French lessons (we had a teacher very ill suited to her position). Rotten of me really - I'd had three years of French at that point and could mostly coast, but my Knuckles partner was pretty new to it and missed lots of important groundwork.

Which is why she failed, and I got an A.
She usually won at Knuckles though.

Interesting, Sundae. I got high in French class. I learned one phrase: Ou est l'avion?

Of course, it's a question I can answer: Dans la hangar.

One of the few I remember was "Excusez-moi Monsieur, avez-vous un pneu pour un Renault?"
We used to say it in the high pitched voices used on our French tapes.

The only other thing I really remember was that when listening to said tapes in a comprehension exercise, I swear I heard a lady say that she went to work dressed as a yoghurt (the French is yaourt - pronounced pretty much as written - ya-OOORT and as such very distinctive). As we were fooishly allowed to mark eachother's papers, my BFF ticked my response and passed it back to me with a lady dressed as a pot of yoghurt doodled in the margin. I laughed silently until I thought I was going to be sick. Young and fit as I was, my stomach muscles hurt the next day.

I actually wait and watch their shoulders carefully. People will often lean a shoulder in or out when they are about to go for the kill. Stare into their eyes. Look at the top of their arm at the shoulder, it tells all...

I win btw. Paper covers thumb.
