Yep. It's back. The finger. I went off on this before, but it may have been lost in the blog reconfiguration, but I'll give it another go.

This started tonight, when I had gotten to my fastpitch game. I was in the parking lot walking to the field when this car pulls up. The driver reached over and gave me the finger....and he had a huge grin on his face. Now, I'm in LaLa Land. Not really paying attention to who this douchbag is, after a few seconds I realize it's this idiot who is actually on my team. He's not one of the guys who I've played with for years, he's some new guy so I've known him for a total of 3 hours - I guess this is how he interacts with people he thinks are his friends. I'll bet he was a gym class towel-snapper in high school. Douchebag.

So I walk to the field, start getting ready, and this moron comes up to me with the same dumb grin on his face and says, "Hey! I was the one who gave you the finger!" It was one of those awkward moments...I didn't know how to react. I think the only thing I said was, "Uh...OK" then walked away.

And to make things worse...he sucks ass. He plays like he's never seen a game in his entire life. Even though he's one of those guys when you ask him what position he plays he says, "anywhere" which translates to "I suck equally at all positions"...which he does.

Back to our topic, The Finger. I love the dummies who think flipping someone off is so hardcore. Or even better, no-talent celebrities who think they're being such badasses by giving the finger to a photographer. I remember the rash of Brittany Spears, Justin Timberlake, Nick Carter flip off pics a year or so ago. Who's next, Scott Baio?

So remember, Sparky...the next time you think you're being cool by giving someone one the finger...remember, you're as cool as this:


But not nearly as cool as this finger:



You're freakin hardcore, dude!
