QUOTE(ontippytoes @ May 15 2006, 08:03 PM) I like the old and the new. It's all good. It's a common misconception that RJD's grannie invented the devilhorns as a response to an ancient Italian curse. In actuality, she had arthritis and could only raise her index and pinkie fingers. And thus, a metalhead tradition was born.

You keep asking if anyone's a metal fan, but what's your definition of metal? Personally, I love bands like Danzig (and all his start up bands like the Misfits and Samhain), Megadeth, Rammstein, Slayer, Metallica, Body Count, Anthrax, Fear Factory, and on and on into the sunset the list goes. This may interest you... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devil_hornsAs for the Hawaiian themed finger sign... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaka_sign

This may interest you... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devil_hornsAs for the Hawaiian themed finger sign... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaka_sign Great articles, lickin..., I'm glad they mention the ALS (short cut) sign for I love (or like) you. I learned a we bit of ALS when I was in college...I don't remember the whole alphabet, but I do remember that one. It is usually done in sort of a sweeping motion (but not always) where one puts one's fingers in the described position and then uses them to point at the person one is talking to and (sort of) sweep them toward you as you point back at yourself. As it said in the article, the pinkie is the ALS letter "I" and the index and thumb extended is the letter "L." The "you" left as an understood part of the gesture or is indicated by the sweep of the hand back toward yourself. In the picture that Bobo linked to of AF's son, the sigh he is making reminds me of the ALS sign.
