I can't straighten my pinkies.

Whoa. Are they stuck like that, or can you move them a bit more?

BLOB_CASTLE  ·  3985 days ago  ·  link  ·  

I can move them a bit, but only momentarily. How they are in the photo is their natural resting position.

I found out today that I can't put my fingers into that position if I try.

BLOB_CASTLE  ·  3983 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Hahahaha, well, I commend you for trying.

How did that come about?

BLOB_CASTLE  ·  3985 days ago  ·  link  ·  

They've been like that since I can remember. What I've realized is that it's a lack of skin that's pulling the top portion of my pinkies downward. I had dinner at a friend's house years ago and his father (a surgeon) told me he would be able to fix it if I wanted to. But, I like them.

if you pay close attention, you'll see that Bill Nighy has a similar finger situation.

I wonder if he tries to hide it. I couldn't find a photo that clearly depicted it.

at 1:52 he is walking and his left hand comes up. It looks like he's pointing, but actually his ring finger and pinky don't straighten.

I could be totally wrong about this... but I've noticed it in a few of his films.

also here around the 1:32 mark

Hmm, very interesting. I might not be alone.

steve  ·  3985 days ago  ·  link  ·  

but you're still weird ;-)

BLOB_CASTLE  ·  3985 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Haha, I don't mind that.

I was completely worried that my comment might come off the wrong way, and it sounds like you took it as I meant it - as a joke.

Fortunately I don't take too many things personally.
