My husband is going to kill me for writing this post.
I believe it is sacrilege to his alma matter, Texas A&M. And for that....and to ALL Aggie fans out there...I apologize.
I also apologize in advance to any lovers of thumbs.
But I hate thumbs.
Specifically, the thumbs-up sign.
It's so weird-looking.
I've yet to see anyone do it and think: "Wow, they sure look good giving the thumbs up sign!!"
Honestly, if supermodel Heidi Klum can't pull it off, I don't think anyone can.
(Seriously, look at her crazy thumbs!!! They look like they should be her middle fingers!)

Dude. You gotta do it sideways, the way gangsters hold guns. Then it looks totally badass. Try it.
There is nothing dorkier than the thumbs up sign. Even pocket pen holders aren't that dorky. Seriously, it should be abolished. Remember how Carrie from SATC thought about not dating the politician because he did the thumbs up? And then she dated him and he asked her to pee on him?
Enough said.
Hahahahaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!
I dont know what else to say other than laugh, you are so right~!
Yay! Now I don't feel pressured to let everyone see my midget thumbs - seriously, I'm barely a primate (they border on not opposable).
I never heard of anyone not liking the "thumbs up" though! My good friend has a thing w/winking - can't stand to see someone do it!
Yes agreed. I think thumbs are only ever good when used for sarcastic purposes.
LOL, that is a funny post! I used to dislike the peace sign because it was over-used and often used in ridiculous manners! But, you've got it right with the thumbs...remember Elaine's (Seinfeld) thumb-kick dance..so wrong.
You oughtta see my thumbs.....
Obviously if you break down on the side of a desert highway, you are going to be flashing some leg to get a ride.
whoa, heidi klum's thumbs are FREAKISHLY long!
Picture me giving you TWO thumbs up for this post!
Lol! This is why I tune in to McMommy!
Wait a minute! What about when a kid does it? I totally agree with you on the wacky, angled thumbs of an adult thumbs-up, but a toddler thumbs-up??? Come on! So cute!!!
LMAO. My oldest son has been posing for every picture taken of him for the last four years with his THUMBS UP cheesiest pose!! I am always like, "OK, honey, now let's do one without the thumbs!"
I couldn't agree more!
Have you ever looked at Megan Fox's thumbs? As in the apparently most beautiful woman in the whole wide world thumbs?
They look like big toes. And this my friends, is why I can sleep happy at night!
That's because Aggies are CRAZY! But it's a tradition, so it makes it okay...
Only the Fonz could pull that off.
Gig 'em.
LOL
I saw an ad the other day for a realtor and he was doing the double thumbs up with the dorky smile. No way would I have bought a house from that guy.
How about the high five vs. the fist bump? I felt like overnight the bump took over. Of course when you see the president doing it with his wife, perhaps it has jumped the shark?
LOL!!! I so agree with you on this but find myself doing it when the kids bring me a work of art/ project or do the "watch this mommy" while I am on the phone to acknowledge just how awesome they are...yeah, i look like a dork sometimes and I hate it but they are just so derned cute!
ewwww.... they are freakish looking.
She has some long thumbs.
You know, you're right. I've never really thought about it, but it's true, no one can pull it off. Except maybe Obama?
And, whoa is it just me or does it look like Heidi Klum is balancing a building on top of her head?
But I gave someone the thumbs up in traffic the other day and they returned it with... the bird.
Gee, thanks. The thumbs up is so misunderstood.
Just another reason to say "Go Horns!" (can't help it, I'm from Austin...) ; )
Am I the only person who had to do the thumbs up sign just to see what I looked like?
I don't know what looks weirder, Heidi's thumbs or that ugly hat she is wearing ;)
I will never look at thumbs up the same. It does look pretty studid. I gave someone thumbs up today for something. A little ashamed here.
Hilarious! I just now stumbled onto your blog, and I am so glad I did! Your posts (and the glass of wine I'm about to drink) totally made my night, & I will be sure to make you one of my regular reads. I'm a stay-at-home mom of twins who are driving me particularly C-R-A-Z-Y tonight, so many thanks for giving me a much needed laugh! :-)
FYI, your husband would totally call you a two-percenter.
But that is what I am, considering I am in a family of aggies and chose *gasp* to attend a liberal arts school in Arkansas.
