Which hand do you use?

Who else is an ambitier?

Ambitier; one who expertly ties knots with either hand equally adeptly.

None! For safety's sake I still have my mentor tie my knots...

I'm not an ambiturner either; can't turn left to save my life:(

Two wrongs don't make a right but 3 lefts do.

Ask ODH, he's got his hand on it all the time.

Doesn't matter which but you should sit on it for 20 to 30 minutes. Makes it feel like someone else is playing with your knot.

Pro tip: It's easier to learn to use your offhand so that your dominant hand can still use the mouse.

Why are you tieing knots while playing on the computer?

Oh...he means that sort of mouse! I thought he was referring to the tail of a knot.

My bad.

Super-pro tip: put the mouse on the other side of the keyboard. It's faster that way, less chance of getting caught.

That's because you are not a very good ambitier. Hang around chockstone long enough and you will improve on a daily basis.

Then again, some achieve good status after only a few posts, while others are destined to be mediocre all their lives.
I feel sorry for you either way.

He's got it on there so much that he must be ambi. Otherwise he's got one pop-eye forearm and one stick forearm...

I seem to be the only one who uses two hands.

Who rembers the old advert

"It takes two hands to handle Eduardo's whopper......"
