Our story actually begins many years ago....

If you are reading this blog, you can feel honored in being the only one. You may be wondering why the heck I decided to start a blog (I have been vehemently against them for years) or who the heck Bob and Anonymous are. Well I will tell you:

I was sitting in Genetics class, and Dr. Walsh was blabbing about miRNAs??? I have no idea. I do not paying attention. Nor do I ever. My computer is my object of affection during the fifty minutes of Genetics I have tri-weekly. Anyways, I was forced to sign up for Blogger -or whatever it's called - this morning after an unnamed (i just misspelled "unnamed" as "unnaked" twice) offered to let me see an unwritten, hilarious, and unfortunately never-to-be-posted blog. So we then find myself a few hours later bored in Genetics as usual, but this time without my fellow biology nerds, and not in the mood for the most addicting game ever - Robot Unicorn (I just scored 85950, and a score like that can't be trumped). So I decided to write a blog. For no one. I will probably be the only person ever reading thing. But that's cool. And perhaps a bit narcissistic.

But then I had the trouble of coming up with a name for my most useless blog. The problem was that I am a very indecisive person, as those of you have have stood at a vending machine or gone to a restaurant with me know all to well. I thought of variants of my last name that had been nicknames over the past years:

- "Turkeltit"
-" Turkeytaub"
- "Nurkelnocker"
- "Boobytaub" ( I never understood this one)

But none of them felt right. And then I remembered my good ol' pals, Bob and Anonymous.. aka my left and right thumbs (I don't remember which was which). When I went to hippie school in 3rd grade, I made lots of friends......... with erasers (all named Bob), and magnets (also all named Bob), and my thumbs ( with Bob being the guy and Anonymous being the girl). Who ever knew that thumbs had genders?? I would draw two dots and a half-circle pretty much every day on my thumbs, so I always had Bob and Anonymous with me, experiencing life with me. See, as primates, we have opposable thumbs, and they experience everything we do. So this blog is the adventures of my beloved thumbs, which have been my friends for about 13 or 14 years, and were just part of my body for the first 7 years. I was a bit oblivious in my early years of the potential my thumbs held for friendship.


So yes, enjoy my blog, and my thumbs. And thumbs up to you for actually reading this thing...

  1. Blogs are only fun and somewhat validated if you get a comment, so here is your first official comment: Welcome to Blogland. Blogging could also become addictive. BTW, the thumbs in the sidebar are a little scary. :-)

  2. This is the most excellent thumb blog on the net. I expect that if this keeps up, you will win the webby in the thumb blog category.
