I know this topic is probably only going to get a few posts, but I had to make it.

Do any of you pepals ever play thumps? Werdna Ten and I play on the bus all the time. We are pretty much the only good thumparz in my grade.

I also hear that FredDibnah's good. I've never played thumps with him for fear of losing my fingers, but I heard that he flicked a hole in my brother's plastic applesauce container. Werda's older brother (not on the Rift) is also good.

Just last week I was playing thumps with some hick, (8th grade) when the bus driver looked back and said,"I hope you ain't playin thumps."
We both turned to face the front of the bus, and the hick said,"No ma'am!"
The stupid fat bus driver then said,"You'll be up in the front seat. You know better."

Actually no, I didn't. My bus driver from last year just watched and laughed when we played thumps.

Any of ya'll good at flickin?

I will list some good ways to exercise your fingers so you can be able to flick really hard.

1)Type alot like post on the forums because you move your fingers to reach the buttons on your keyboard, probably the one of the best finger exercises.
2)Play video games because you move your fingers alot on your controler.
3)Write alot because you will have to move your fingers around in order for you to write and you have to hold up your pencil with your fingers to.

I pretty sure there are a lot more of ways of exercising your fingers so you can flick very hard,but these are a couple of good ways to exercise them so why not try them.

Playing thumps with Fred is suicide, seriously. You don't want your finger to turn black and rot do ya?

I flicked my cousin Gunner's hand so hard once that his fingers started turning white.

I didn't really "become" good, it just came naturally. However, I do type a lot and play piano, so that may be the cause of it.
