The thumb does not have very a important role when shifting from one position to another. There is too much said, as it seems to me, about importance of the thumb...

You say you do not know what God's will is, but I'll tell you what it is. Above all it is that you know Christ and then that your neighbors hear about Christ. That is His will.

MacArthur
My main qualm about TV criticism has been when people review TV the way they review movies. They watch the pilot, and write a definitive review of the show.

Kisses down her throat. "I wouldn't wish my consort to suffer ennui. — Nalini Singh

You trapped me easily, drew me toward you like I was already in the net. — Lucy Christopher
If I were a younger man, I would write a history of human stupidity; and I would climb to the top of Mount McCabe and lie down on my back with my history for a pillow; and I would take from the ground some of the blue-white poison that makes statues of men; and I would make a statue of myself, lying on my back, grinning horribly, and thumbing my nose at You Know Who. — Kurt Vonnegut
