I guess it can be learned but im thinking I might be too old to start now

But I mean, wouldnt it be cool to be in a sword fight and be like:

Inigo Montoya: You are wonderful.
Man in Black: Thank you; I've worked hard to become so.
Inigo Montoya: I admit it, you are better than I am.
Man in Black: Then why are you smiling?
Inigo Montoya: Because I know something you don't know.
Man in Black: And what is that?

Inigo Montoya: I... am not left-handed.

[Moves his sword to his right hand and gains an advantage]
Man in Black: You are amazing.
Inigo Montoya: I ought to be, after 20 years.

Man in Black: Oh, there's something I ought to tell you.

Inigo Montoya: Tell me.
Man in Black: I'm not left-handed either.

I can't even jerk off with my left hand. $:-\$

I can switch-hit in baseball decently though.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #2 on:** December 10, 2006, 02:15:54 PM »

Well its not like there's benefits to WRITING left handed either, you just end up getting shit on yer hands or smearing whats on the paper unless you write all funky. Unless yer JAPONZES with the writing backwards shit lolololol.

DJ_Tet · « **Reply #3 on:** December 10, 2006, 02:16:36 PM »

I'm ambidextrous, so much so that I prefer to jerk off left handed. The righty feels like a stranger now.

I can't do anything else with my left hand though, and I didn't learn that skill till my early 20's. It's never too late!

I switched-hit in baseball, is that close enough?

That movie is soo awesome.

We read the book and watched the movie in class in 7th grade and the movie is so fucking hilarious

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #6 on:** December 10, 2006, 02:20:43 PM »

I saw most of it like a couple weeks ago. It was very good lol. Reminded me of Shrek in terms of sarcasm/paradoy

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #7 on:** December 10, 2006, 02:23:22 PM »

Princess Bride is a classic, and the sword fights are fantastic.

Solo · « **Reply #8 on:** December 10, 2006, 02:23:48 PM »

Hows this for a clusterfuck? I:

- write left handed
- swing a baseball bat right handed
- play hockey left handed
- play tennis right handed
- play golf left handed
- throw with my right hand

I call myself left handed because thats how I write, but Im pretty much evenly split.

DJ_Tet · « **Reply #9 on:** December 10, 2006, 02:24:02 PM »

You didn't just compare Princess Bride to Shrek...

I'm not even one who hates Shrek, but Princess Bride is a top ten comedy of all time, and it has great heart too.

Wobedraggled · « **Reply #13 on:** December 10, 2006, 02:35:08 PM »

I can use both just about equally, save for writing because I favor my left, gotta keep the right in practice.

rocketman · « **Reply #14 on:** December 10, 2006, 02:35:15 PM »

Princess Bride wasn't that funny. There were maybe two points in the movie when I even smiled.

I actually read the book first for English class. The movie was good because it was such a perfect translation of the book.

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Garnet · « **Reply #20 on:** December 10, 2006, 03:26:24 PM »

I write with my left, use a mouse with me right.
Hold a raquet with my left, wipe my arse with my right.

whiteACID · « **Reply #21 on:** December 10, 2006, 05:06:00 PM »

I am; for the most part. Can write with both hands, play games, mouse, etc. Just can't play guitar with both hands for some reason.

Takuan · « **Reply #22 on:** December 10, 2006, 05:16:18 PM »

Nope, I wish I was. Reigning NBA MVP Steve Nash forced himself to use his left hand in college the year he broke his right wrist, and now he's equally good with both. That's proof you can pick it up if you work hard at it. I don't know why you'd want to, though.

So how the fuck do you play guitar? With your feet? :p

cloudwalking · « **Reply #25 on:** December 10, 2006, 06:32:30 PM »

I write with my right hand

Open jars with my left hand

Use mouse with my right hand

Hold bat/play hockey/mop/sweep left handed

Throw with right hand

Eat with left hand

So yeah, I'm pretty much even with them too, considering. I tell people I am right handed though. Telling people you're ambidextrous when they ask if you are right or left handed sounds pretentious.

Saint Cornelius · « **Reply #26 on:** December 10, 2006, 06:34:17 PM »

I can't jerk off with my left hand, so, no.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #27 on:** December 10, 2006, 06:35:41 PM »

Yeah its not like some mutant power, it is RARE to have it naturally at birth, and capable of being learned through tasks.

BlackMage · « **Reply #28 on:** December 10, 2006, 08:54:42 PM »

I'm left-handed and left-footed. the only thing i can do with my right hand is use a mouse, and that's just because i was forced to as a kid.

Vizzys · « **Reply #29 on:** December 10, 2006, 08:56:54 PM »

gibletsngravy · « **Reply #32 on:** December 11, 2006, 01:20:51 AM »

I've tried to write with my left hand before. I'm slow at it but competent. I've heard that its good for creativity or something because it activates dormant parts of your brain.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #33 on:** December 11, 2006, 02:16:22 AM »

I think for some of us its too late. Im almost 27 so my brains probably already shutting down so im in time for shitting myself at 70

I've read that da Vinci could paint with one hand and write with the other, like at the same time. If I try to do something like that my brain explodes.

Here's a true story for you.

A couple weeks back my girlfriend calls me. "What are you doing?" She asks. I inform her the boys are just hanging out, watching the Princess Bride.

She laughs. Aparentally the Princess Bride is a girl movie. I disagree, thoughts?

Your girlfriend is narrow minded.
