Short fad

Remeber that little fad a few years ago which was all about giving the finger creatively. Sure it started with say scratching your cheek or your nose, but quickly escalated into more theatrical moves. Now I'm glad this fad only lasted as long as it did or at least regressed back to scratch finger. I'm glad because when I'd get into a battle, after 2 goes I'd be out of material and then I'd be getting fingered all over the place. Hmmm... thats sounds more horrible than just the embarrassment of losing a middle finger battle. I basically only knew the "Inflator" which was blowing on your thumb and raising your finger, the "Crank" - turning an imaginary crank whilst raising your finger and the "Gundown"- using your other hand a gun and shooting down your fingers leaving the middle up. These 3 were staples of any battle and were bound to be the first ones done. Why didn't I pick up others' moves as they were done to me you ask? Shame maybe, disinterest likely .... umm I'll go with lack of wanting to use someone elses material. Thats right my search of a truly original move was cut short since I think the weekend came and everyone had moved on to something else on monday. I believe it was the making someone look at your finger and thumb making a ring shape and then punching them game. Good times!
