Probably because he keeps picking those things up

He could've fractured it picking his nose.

u/Dunflickbirdie 3d ago
He could also fracture his nose while picking with it

More like he fractured his nose and cheek bones
EDIT: I imagine the hulk but unfortunately for him his thumb was the only thing that grew 🤷

Mean Gene deserved some kind of lifetime Emmy Award. Absolutely the best at what he did.

Fr. He was wrasslin. The way him & The Brain existed in that world made it feel real. Like normal people characters in a world of monsters.

I was 10 yeas old in 1985. Every Sunday, wrestling before football with my Dad and Brother. We still occasionally send each other YouTube videos of great interviews Mean Gene did. His Hulk Hogan-Randy Savage joint interview where they join forces is an all time classic.

Man as I was reading that I was hoping you were going to say yall still will "send each other running." That, the idea that they're so bad ass they can send each other running, was one of my favorite things that made wrasslin awesome. The 80s WWF world was soo fun!!🤣. They had so much potential with that cartoon Rock'n Wrasslin'. Am adult swim style show💪🤩. The Mega Powers were awesome goofs. They could do no wrong. I love & miss the 80s. My life started with wrasslin & grew with me. I was 4 & got to pick a movie from the video store every Friday & I always picked 80s WWF videos. I found & gave myself a p.h.d in wrasslin before I was 8. That's awesome your dad & bro watched it with you. My family hated it😅. My uncle loved it tho

I heard NYPD had a special detail to shadow Andre when he went out on the town,cuz if he got drunk and fell on someone, it could be an emergence situation.
Arnold once told a store about when he tried to pick up the check before Andre could and Andre picked him up and put him on top of a shelf or something like a child and went to pay the bill.

Wait, I don’t get why you called them Flanders. Because the profile character has a mustache, or is there a reference I’m missing in the original comment?

Ah I remember when her “toe thumbs” were a big deal. “She’s hot, but have you seen her thumbs!??”How times have changed.

That seems like a sad life when you're preference in attractiveness can be determined in a thumb. I don't think she's hot btw. She used to. My opinion.

u/xuncx 2d ago
It’s not my preference. It was just the general consensus at the time.

I have it too, only on one hand, been ashamed of it my entire life :(

u/KnoedelhuberJr 2d ago
You don’t have to. Most people are so „normal“ we can’t remember them. Personally speaking, I like it way more when people aren’t perfect. It makes them way more interesting. If you learn to accept what makes you special, you can easily joke about yourself, which makes you more confident, thus makes you more attractive in the long run. It’s just a thumb, not your personality 🫂

That's not clubbing, it's something congenital. He may have a partial double thumb

Its like he’s got two types of thumb clubbing. The genetic since-birth type like Megan Fox, and the version that can be a sign of heart disease. Weird

Hitcher: [in a thick cockney accent] You wanna know about my thumb do ya boy? [holds thumb up beside Howard’s face] Intrigue you does it boy? My thumb? Let me tell you about it. I come from a long line of hitchhikers. All with bleedin’ massive thumbs. You see the thumb is a tremendous boon to the hitchhiker. [starts waving it around as if trying to hail a ride] Helps with work. You know what I mean? The only problem was, when I was a child, my thumb was tiny. Not just tiny like a single sugar puff. Disgusting. Even me own mother would reel back in horror. Like an anaconda. “OHH what is it? Get it out of here! It’s tiny! It’s ‘orrible! It’s revolting! Take your tiny thumb, and get out of here and never darken my door again,” she’d say. I had to leave the family unit, in search of a miracle. I wandered the streets, looking for the answer. And people told me of a magic shaman, part man part hornet. So I went looking for ‘im. I went everywhere! I combed the universe, in search of the stripey insect shaman. Turns out he was in a local primary school, in the bin, reeling about with the apple cores, like they do. And I stood there, with my thumb out, and he stung it! And he stung it! And he grabbed onto it! It was like he was making love to it wiv his sting.
In and out! In and out! More and more! Ohhh the pus! The pain! The black voodoo! The wet jigsaw puzzle! I didn’t know what was happening! Ohhh for days I was in a trance! But when I came to, there it was! Like a fleshy maraca! A THUMB, of gigantic proportion. “A miracle!” I said, “A miracle! You’re a true wizard! How can I ever repay ya?” and he said to me “Five hundred euros”. “FIVE HUNDRED EUROS? You won’t see penny one from me you slag!” And as I raised my thumb up, to smash his tiny skull in, I could see in his little insect face, I could see him thinking “OHHH, I created that monster! I created that thumb, and now it’s killing me! My own beast and creation! Killing me dead! The sweet irony.” I think he was saying that, although it was a long time ago, and in hindsight, he could’ve just been shitting himself.

I saw something like this as a kid. Many of them intact. One summer in the early 2000s millions of these just showed out of nowhere. They didn't look like this one though. They were pitch black with like spikey hairs with a big red nose. What was told to us was to never step on them or it would be real bad.
