Now I wish I could say I knew the band Belle and Sebastian by name before I heard it on (500) Days of Summer, but alas I can not say that
“…Color my life with the chaos of trouble...”
Related but not is the following
The middle finger game is a game we used to play, it’s not the most brilliant game in the world and it’s not exactly dangerous. The danger comes from non participants you’ll see why later.
The name of the game says it all you extent your middle finger in the direction of another player.
Once the game starts it never ends and you are on a team of one. Yes you all by yourself against all other participants. It is a game like sumo wrestling in that each match is over quickly, but it is not a sport and you don’t have to wear that … ah… well what would you call that sumo gear… anyway no other equipment is necessary for the game, which is not a sport.
The middle finger game is only a game and forever shall be only a game and there is no professional level, it is played merely for the love of the game. Now I’m sure there will be some know it all prick that bounces along and makes it a sport and a professional level thing just to show it can be done. Just because it can be doesn’t mean it should be .. Back on topic.
So we played this game. We being; the other one, the peacemaker, the cool park ranger, and me and a few others have joined in as well. In play you may recruit persons to aid you in the delivery of a middle finger but only you must supply the middle finger not your helper. If they deliver the middle finger they are the player and they get the win and you are back to square one. An example of an assist would be in a crowded room, lets say a restaurant, and you enlist a server to go to your opponent and point in your direction. When your opponent looks … BLAM middle finger is what they see and your smiling face behind it. WIN for you. Simplest game in the world.
On the losing end of the win, it is customary to hang your head in shame for a second and admit you have been bested. This is only if you are the receiver of the finger and not the delivery maker.
Clear a mud
This game can be played any where, at anytime.
Mainly it is played as you pass your opponents in your regular day to day outings. Always, stay on your toes, you must be ever vigilant, and have to be on the look out for them. You opponents can be anywhere.
The first person to spot, and deliver a middle finger to the opponent wins. Your opponent must recognize that you have delivered the finger for a win to occur so you can’t call them on the phone and say boo-yah.
Now the dangerous bit is this, you may mistake a person as an opponent and then you fly the middle finger salute … oops you have misfired and you are obligated to tell the person who you thought you tagged about your mistake.
There is no time limit on when this must be done but you have to tell them. Own your shame. Own it!
Shaming Example
I was driving and I see the light green SUV of the cool park ranger coming toward me… muhahaha… (I think)
Why am I thinking maharaja because I’m an evil genius and I’m not in my regular car so I am in stealth mode. My vehicle and his are getting closer … and closer… and FIRE…
OH NO! It’s not the cool park ranger…
It is a bewildered looking older guy park ranger… my smile quickly changes to OOOPS…
I have just flipped off a kindly older gentleman park ranger. I owned my shame then and now again for your enjoyment.
After my incident of shame I became a bit gun shy about firing at park ranger vehicles and lost many subsequent passing to the cool park ranger with his middle finger tall over the steering wheel and his full on toothy smile bright like a halogen spot light illuminating his middle finger.
Also this is a game of fun and not revenge. You should only play with people you like so you can laugh about your mistaken identity blasts (shaming incidents)… like my aforementioned misfire to the kindly older gentleman park ranger. Related to that the cool park ranger knew the kindly older gentleman park ranger and he had been tagged before by the other one or the peacemaker as well. I’m sure the thought the world had gone mad or at least held something against kindly older park rangers.
So rally your pals for the grand game of middle finger tag… you’ll love the fun. Hope you don’t ever get punched which is a real risk if you aren’t in your car or if your state has aggressive driving laws which might get a citation playing if you misfire to a cop in an unmarked vehicle. YIKES and stuff. Play safe and have fun.
In other news…
Even more snow melted today and the cats are bonkers, bonkers I tell you.
That’s all for now other stuff tomorrow, have a great day and play nice in the neighborhood.
Ciao,
