hand topic

Post by ryopan »

i got to looking at my hand (right hand [im a lefty]) today and i just thought id throw this out there: which finger has the biggest callous (spelling?) on yalls hands. mine is definitely the ring finger followed by the pinky, middle then index. is everyones pretty close to this. im thinking cuz of dave stuff, the ring finger would get a pretty good work out but im suprised at my index finger and how non-worn it is. im really bored and avoiding a report so pardon the trivial topic. any other ponderings are welcome.

You couldnt pierce my index finger with a fuckin sewing needle. :) For me, the index is the most calloused, followed by the ring, middle, then pinky. I always thought that everyone's most calloused finger was the index. Hmm. Anyone else?

agreed, i can't even begin to tell which one is most callused, they are all the same - very callused.

They are all pretty close, even the pinky, but I would guess my middle finger is the most callused. I think it is due to the slides in songs like SMTS, WWYS, Ants and Halloween.

He is not any worse than any other poster here, and the people who claim he is just don't know what they're talking about. The demonization has gotten ridiculously out of hand.
