Can You Do The Vulcan Thing?

[Ssosmcin]

Both hands for me as well. I can also raise both eyebrows independently. It gets a real laugh with I unexpectly start moving my eyebrows up and down like that.

 

[JiNX-01]

I must be Vulcan ambidextrous because I can do the "Vulcan thing" with either hand.

 

[Ronald Held]

Of course.

 

[Shatmandu]

"The Vulcan thing" is still illegal in some rural counties.

Oh.

Wait.

You mean the hand gesture.

Sure I can do it.

Joe, carnal

 

[Vic Sixx]

Yes I can do it, now let's practice the hook 'em horns sign.

 

[Daneel]

Yes, I can do it with both hands, easily... although I can't remember the last time I did. I guess I don't hang around too many Vulcans these days.

 

[GNDN]

Never had a problem doing it with either hand.


Out of context, that sounds really perverted and sad.

Before I read the OP I really thought this was going to be about "going without" for seven years

But thankfully, it's about that other thing... and yes, I can do that, and many other non-Vulcan things with either hand

 

[T'Boggan]

Both hands an my left foot....

 

[Kirk1980]

I can....mostly because I forced my fingers wide apart as a kid to impress a girl.

Yes, at seven years old, the Vulcan greeting was impressing a girl.

Can you make the Vulcan greeting hand gesture? I want to know if I am strange because I can't do it at all with my right hand, but I can do it automatically with my left.

Can do with both hands.

 

[iguana_tonante]

Yes, both hands. OTOH, despite utmost efforts, I seem unable to do the eyebrow thing, which enrages me to no end. Mmh, that's not really Vulcan from me. That might explain why I am unable to do the eyebrow thing. Recursive non-Vulcan is recursive.

 

[Outpost4]

No. Neither hand.

And I can't whistle on the exhale, only on the inhale.

Can I get disability payments for these?

 

[Mandra]

Both hands.

Can't do the eyebrow thing.

Still working on the Vulcan Death Grip. Need more practice.....

 

[johcomp]

I can do it both handed, and I've also mastered the neck pinch. It comes in really handy, especially when staggering home from a late night bar and some idiot wants to start a fight! I've even duped them with the multi-legged creature ploy!

I'm working on the mind-meld as my next project

 

[Kemaiku]

Yup, with both hands. Although I injured the third finger on my left hand and the little finger has joint trouble so its a lot tougher with the left.

 

[JustKate]

Of course. Both hands. I pity those of you who can't - maybe there's some sort of therapy?

 

[Cakes488]

Both hands.

Oh yeah I can do the eyebrow thing-a-ma-jig...I think the eyebrow is harder than the greeting...the greeting can be mastered and tamed but with the brow you can either do it or you can't.

Ah, but can you also do it with your feet!

 

[Timelord79 (he/him)]

I couldn't do it until I disjointed my left pinky. The bandage I had to wear for two weeks after that separated my ring finger from my middle finger the whole time. Could do it effortlessly after that. My brain obviously was able to transfer the learned commands to my right hand muscles as well.

Edit: Oh and I can do the eyebrow raising, too. For some reason it makes my girlfriend crazy (good crazy!). I better not tell her WHERE it's from. ;-)

Nope, neither hand. Iirc, neither can Shatner.
