Am I the only one that ever did that? See the first pic in this post

Is it bad etiquette to post a link to another blog while posting on a blog? Is that worse than pinching?

Either way, its illegal.  BUT FUN!!!!!

Thumbing literally refers to using your thumb to pin the ball in the stick. There are a variety of ways to accomplish this, and all of them involve putting your hand/fingers on the plastic.
