I'm going to guess we have a higher than average number of lefties here. Obner seems to attract the artistic personality.

Me = Lefty.

My dad (the impoverished artist) was a lefty but I've been cursed with the less able right handedness.

At least my handwriting isn't smudged.

I'm from that dark period when left-handed kids were "changed"when they started to school. I was "changed" in kindergarten, but only partially successfully. I do some things- write, bat (as in baseball), tennis, right-handed. Throw a ball, bowl, etc. left-handed. Oddly, I can play ping-pong equally well with either hand. And the red-headed kindergarten teacher is to blame for my deep mistrust of humans, in general.

My dad recently asked me this as he read in a hunting magazine it was somewhat related to eye dominance. If you were to look through a scope of any kind, what eye do you tend towards. I'm right eye dominant (but I'm nearly legally blind in my left) but I don't know if that explains the above.

Lefty

Though I did always throw a frisbee with my right for some reason.

Self abuse is about the only thing I can do with my left hand.

Holy crap, Max you were right. We've got some odd mixes on here. Throw left, bat right? TF?

I write and eat left-handedly, everything else is righty.

That Rickey Henderson thing is pretty rare, though the other way isn't.

My left hand is practically useless.

Write/bat/throw/play guitar/etc.: Right
Eat: Left ("European" -- but I started as a kid like that just so I could shove the food into my mouth faster. Now, it's become a cosmopolitan habit o' mine.)

I only use my left hand when I'm writing ransom notes.

I write, eat, and wipe my ass with my monstrous elephant trunk like cock. Self abuse? I get creative.

I'm pretty much exclusively left-handed (write, eat, throw, golf, etc). I can use my right hand for some limited tasks, I've learned over the years to use right-handed scissors, for example.

Left. But, if there's some category below monodextrous, that's me.
