New ways to give the finger Monday, December 18, 2006 The Snake Charmer



Make a fist with your left hand and hold it, knuckles out, in front of your chest. Grab your Punji flute in your right hand and begin to play traditional Indian snake charming music. Rock the Punji side to side as you play. (Fig 1a) Slowly raise the middle finger of your left hand, also rocking side to side, until it is fully extended. (Fig 1b)







The Bad Reception



Make a fist with your right hand and hold it to your right ear. Act as if you are in the midst of a phone call. (Fig 2a) Then pretend as if you have run into an area of weak signal strength and the quality of your phone call is suffering. Perhaps saying, “What? What? I can’t hear you,” will help illustrate your dilemma. Next, say, “Hold on, let me put antenna up.” With your left hand, grab the tip of the middle finger on your right hand and raise it to its full extension. (Fig 2b) Finally, with your middle finger still extended, say to your enemy, “He wants to talk to you” and hand over your "phone." The best part is, there's nobody on the "phone," it's just your middle finger in his retarded face!







The Usual Suspects



Make a fist with your hand and hold it about a foot in front of your face. Raise your pinky, look at if for a second, shake your head and say, “No, no that’s not the guy.” (Fig. 3a) Next, raise your ring finger and repeat the previous steps. (Fig.3b) Do the same for your middle finger. (Fig 3c) Next, raise your index finger and exclaim, (Fig. 3d) “WAIT, go back to that last guy.” Lower your index finger and raise your middle finger again. Say, “I missed it the first time around but that's him. That’s the guy. I’d recognize that Fuck You anywhere.” (Fig. 3e)











The Curl



Lower both your arms to the side of your body and extend your middle fingers. Slowly, and with a lot of feigned effort, raise both arms as if curling a barbell. (Fig 4a) For added effect shout out some ‘pump me up’ phrases such as, “GET JACKED!,” “That’s it, that’s it, you’re almost there!,” and “HETERO FOR LIFE!”







The Malfunctioning Wolverine



Assume a bellicose posture, as if about to engage in fisticuffs with a super-being. Say something macho from the greater Wolverine vernacular. “It’s payback time, bub,” would be a good choice. (Fig 5a) At this point, bend your arms and then quickly extend them as if you are causing your adamantium claws to shoot forth from your hands. Also at this point, extend your middle fingers. Say, “Oh no, only two of my claws are working!” and hold up your extended middle fingers to your enemy’s face. (Fig 5b)







The Divorce



Extend the index and middle fingers of your right hand and spread them apart. (Fig 6a) Make index say, “I love you.” Middle should reply with, “I love you, let’s get married.” At this point bring your two fingers together so that they are snuggly fitted against each other. (Fig 6b) Say, “Awwww, how nice.” But there's trouble in paradise...Slowly separate them as you ad lib a fight between them until they have returned to their starting positions. (Fig 6c) Finally, make index say, “I’m leaving you, Middle. I’m leaving you and I’m never coming back!” Lower your index finger, leaving your middle finger extended alone. (Fig 6d) Say, “Fuck you,” as if calling after index. Then look into the eyes of your victim and say, “No, fuck YOU!”
