Might I also suggest to go along-side such illustrious pursuits as finger-tapping and foot-rocking the oft-practised though sadly neglected art of tongue cluking.

Love the new sig! 
Tongue cluking? Sounds annoying! Care to elaborate?

Dear Shea,
Do you have any advice for a left-over-right forward twiddler on whether one's thumbs should be allowed contact during twiddling?

::twiddles non-chalantly::
Shea,
I noticed in the Introduction to Thumb Twiddling that rhythm is missing the first of its two h's. Is this something to add to the UK/US dictionary, or merely a typo.
Happy twiddling to one and all.
We really need a third arm now, as it is virtually impossible to consume 
while twiddling.

I've updated the Entry to utilize your ideas and proofreading! 
It also covers contact vs. non-contact Twiddling, PF. If you'd care to elaborate on your personal experiences, feel free ...

A straw?????
A plastic straw???
Are you suggesting I should imbibe the nectar of the gods (, in case you were wondering) through a plastic tubular device?
I think I'll just grow a third arm, if it's all the same with you!

Can't say that I drink so I wouldn't know the finer points ... well, I can't say that either ... I always have frosted mugs waiting in the freezer ...

what if it's one of those curly straws?? I wanted one of those this week, because it was my last week o' school and I wanted to be relaxed for finals, so I brought a beach towel that I draped over my chair, wore a lei, and carried around a tropical fruit drink with a little paper umbrella... and yesterday I broke out the hawaiian shirt too!

How about those chic beer hats? With the beer attached to the sides and the giant straw?
