Never leave the house.

World-class juggler. And pickpocket.

I'd grab someone in hysterics by the shoulders, give them a good shaking, and slap some sense into them. All at once.

Make some young woman very happy..

or alternately, hug myself and smoke at the same time.

I'd play guitar and a drum.

I'd get one of them removed before I had to buy a bunch of new shirts.

Write some really amazing piano music.

And do dirty stuff.

Flip off the rest of the intersection.

HA!

Finally be able to balance in a hand-stand.

Wait, where is this third hand? Is it like an entire third hand with its own arm and stuff, or is it one of those funky extra hands that grows out of my stomach or shoulder or something? Because that totally influences my answer.

Good question, mudpuppie! Yes, it is a third arm and hand extending from the upper body, somewhere. For my porpose it extends from around where the other two do.

Can I say a second thing?

I would chop off one of my hands in the public square.

posted by Hugh Janus 14 September | 14:56

No, you can not say a second thing, Hugh.

posted by Cryptical Envelopment 14 September | 17:49

Well, I wouldn't be even-handed, for a start.

posted by dg 14 September | 18:03

I could cross my arms and smack dg at the same time.

posted by deborah 14 September | 18:17

Can my arm be located anywhere on my body? Or does it have to be in the general locale of my other arms? Because that's going to influence my answer too.

*sigh*

It might even emerge from your c**t.

Use your imagination and then tell me what you might do with it.

posted by Cryptical Envelopment 14 September | 20:05

Jesus, cryptical. Every time I try to convince myself that you're anything other than a drunken dipshit fuckhead, I end up wrong.

I think I'm just not going to do it anymore.

posted by mudpuppie 14 September | 20:47

Now, now children!

*bangs Cryptical Envelopment and mudpuppie's heads together, while swigging strong drink with third hand*

posted by dg 14 September | 21:33

I vow to use my third hand for only humanitarian purposes, and right now I'm using it to save you from yourself, Cryptical Envelopment. Please email me when you're feeling better.

uses it to wave goodbye.

Plus I've just realised that I can now hold all my remotes at once.
Woot!!
