That's me! Glad everybody likes my hands! The really funny thing is that a couple of weeks ago i bought Cory Doctorow's "Rapture of the Nerds" because the title caught my eye, and then two weeks later, and unbeknownst to me, he comes into the restaurant i work at and takes a picture of my knuckles! Anyway, thanks for the love. Also, i'm a performance poet with a bunch of videos out there and you should all check them out! Maybe you'll like them as much as my knuckles! http://www.youtube.com/cryptozoology4life Hey! That’s me! Glad everybody likes my hands!

With this one you could get 'emo darer' as an anagram, but I'm thinking words/phrases that make sense and are actually possible to form without breaking your own fingers.
