Nanuq Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 I took a photo tonight of a new knife I bought, Helle from Norway, and it occurred to me that my thumb is looking pretty bad. So THEN it occurred to me that it's about time someone went mano-a-mano with RBJ (or would that be thumb-a-thumb) to finally place all bets and determine... WHO HAS THE NASTIEST THUMB???!! This beauty I got when I was doing a carpentry project and I drilled a hole through my thumb. Yep you heard me right... through my thumb. It's been healing a month or two now. So let's see what you got, Joe. Time to put up your best shot. Here's mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omni Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 I'm not a knife collector but my son-in-law is and I'm always admiring them and keeping an eye out for ones to get him as gifts so I sorta know enough to admire a good crafted knife rather than those built for looks only. Excellent choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonthebhoy Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 On Tuesday evening I was preparing a nice chicken madras curry for my lovely wife. It was the whole nine yards with everything but the kitchen sink in it. (I can make a mean curry) Whilst dicing the onions I got distracted by our wee West Highland Terrier who was trying to attract my attention……..next thing………….AAAAAAAAARRRRRGGGGH! I only sliced the tip off my thumb. There isn’t much to see so no point in posting a big bandaged thumb but as the piece didn’t come completely off I just folded it back on and strapped it up. My neighbour who is a doctor said I shouldn’t worry and that I should still be able to play the piano, which is fabulous news as I couldn’t play it before. Seriously though……my monthly snooker game is on Friday night and the affected thumb is on my bridging hand, so I’m going to look a right Charlie Corroli. Any suggestions?

cornerstone Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 Any suggestions? JTB Clearly a toe-to-thumb transplant is in order, or put your foot on the table! King of the RWG thumbs is surely Edge for this effort: @Nanuq - is that get-up for Christmas or for a ritual sacrifice? Not another Sub?!

jonthebhoy Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 @JTB You're right, that IS fantastic news! Does your newfound talent apply to keyboards as well? Just think what body parts Michael Jackson must have given up to be able to sing and dance like he does. *shudder* There is one body part I am not prepared to give up my friend. I have no desire to play the saxophone......................purple or otherwise! JTB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good idea. Let's get a meet sorted soon. I fancy an evening of sophisticated chat, beer and cigars, but I'll settle for a watch meet instead.

Usil Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 GTG? I can't do it this weekend, I am selling photos at an art fair but I can do it the next week. 22 or 25, 26 of November are ok. I have to confess I broke my rule for buying any more watches this year. I bought a IWC Portugese Chrono Automatic (black face with white subdials) used from an RWG member with a Hirsch strap and another IWC Ti (the one with yellow on part of the bezel also from an RWG member) both of which I will not see till I go home to the US in December so can not show them yet. I also have an IWC SS GST coming from Neil later this month and a band from ebay. So, nothing to show but I did fix my pearl on my 187 that looks pretty good. And I can show you what a sticky ball looks like. Usil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
