August 13th is left-hander's day.
So all the chosen ones here at Hatrack need to celebrate their superiority.

[Party]

FREAKS!

On the front page of your link, the hands that are in four different colors, aren't those right hands?

Posted by Elmer's Glue (Member # 9313) on :

Uh, those are handprints genius.

Posted by MightyCow (Member # 9253) on :

Left handprints leave no ring finger! It's like their vampire finger, it leaves no impression on the mortal world.

They make those scissors that don't cut too!

Posted by Juxtapose (Member # 8837) on :

They didn't go far enough with the posters, in my opinion.

I was looking for "**** RIGHTY" but to no avail.

Let the revolution begin!

here you go, compliments from the home of Burger King - Miami, Florida!

I don't approve of your life style choice, but I suppose you people can be lefties if you want. So long as you don't flaunt it.

Ambidextrous people rule!!!

Posted by Flaming Toad on a Stick (Member # 9302) on :

Unfortunately, I'm not ambidextrous. [Mad]

Posted by Nighthawk (Member # 4176) on :

I'd give my right arm to be ambidextrous.

Posted by Avadaru (Member # 3026) on :

I'm ambidextrous!

GATES: Huh huh. You go both ways. (snicker)

TURNER: Like a bi-sexual.

EISNER: Yes, Ted, that was the joke...

My younger daughter is left-handed. She'll be happy to see that Web site. [Wink]

Posted by Grim (Member # 9165) on :

Whoo. It's about time someone reconized we're special but there is a down side we don't live as long as the right handed population.

Posted by Elmer's Glue (Member # 9313) on :

We don't live as long because we are killed in accidents caused by using right-handed things. Like chain saws, farming equipment, woodwoorking machines...

My oldest is a lefty. I printed out the "in their right minds" poster, and will give it to her tomorrow. [Big Grin]

Posted by Mr.Funny (Member # 4467) on :

I love being left-handed. Even though we're oppressed. Or something.

During my sophomore year of high school, we had to write a 8-10 page research paper on some world-wide issue. People picked topics such as the use of child soldiers in Africa, AIDS, or religious conflicts. My topic was way, way cooler.

Discrimination against left-handed people.

My friends all thought that I was nuts. [Razz]

Posted by Tante Shvester (Member # 8202) on :

They may have been right. [Wink]

Posted by quidscribis (Member # 5124) on :

MAY have been? [Wink]

Posted by Mr.Funny (Member # 4467) on :

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeey. [Grumble]

Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :

She loved it. [Big Grin]

Posted by Glenn Arnold (Member # 3192) on :

My best friend in elementary school was very self conscious of left handed discrimination. One day he was in my bedroom and he looked at the door and said "That door was obviously designed by a right handed person. The doorknob is on the left side, so your left arm is against the wall and you have to turn sideways to use your left hand to open it!"

I told him to go outside and come in from the hallway.

...where the situation was a mirror image of the one he had described.

The door, by the way, was "designed" by Frank Lloyd Wright. I don't know if he was left handed or not.

Awwww man... I missed it... BUT! I was with my Mom and Aunt on the 13th and we lived it up at the Biltmore Estate as 3 left-handed people unknowingly celebrating the holiday! : )

If anyone's interested - there's a cool book called 'Left-Handers Syndrome' that give facts and stories on biases, trivia and other neat things on left handed people, their lives and the way a world 'created for right handed people' has an impact on them. : )

Posted by Belle (Member # 2314) on :

My daughter (the oldest) is left handed and we missed celebrating this day. [Frown]

Ah well, we'll have to mark our calendars for next year.

Posted by Boothby171 (Member # 807) on :

Oh, I'm so sick of all you whiners!

Left-handedness is nothing more than a lifestyle choice!

And in NY, they permit left-handed people to marry. My partner is also a leftie. But both our children are right-handed (as is the mailman).

Posted by cmc (Member # 9549) on :

Ew! Who's whining? It's more of a celebration, you!!! : )
