Thumb War

[JNZ]

Flashback to my senior year of high school. I was having a thumb war with a classmate, and my friend is laughing and points out that I’m doing the same moves with both of my hands, the one that’s playing and the other “resting” one too! It’s kind of hilarious. Anyone else experience this? Or in something similar you do with hands?

Maybe your other thumb was the first one's trainer...?

I like the masked "wrestlers" in the article.

I never played thumb war either.
But, doing the Mr. Spock live long and prosper thing was popular and a lot of us were trying to do that.
It came natural to me to be able to do both hands instantly at the same time.
I met Mr. Nimoy once and he said people came up to him showing how they could make the Vulcan sign.
But, he said he always asked if they could do it with both hands at the same time.
Most people could not.

I never saw him do both at the same time!

There's a condition called congenital mirror movement disorder that's basically you can't do something with one side of your body without the other side mimicking it. Not saying you have that, just thought I would pop in with this grain of info

I've had a few thumb wars, throughout my days.

I never win. I'm too clumsy.
