While sitting at your desk, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles.
Now, while doing this, draw the number “6” in the air with your right hand.
Your foot will change direction to counter clockwise and there’s nothing you can do about it.
Nuts. You’re right! Curse this braaaain, must stab it with a q-tip! stab
Nope…foot still goes wrong way. stab-stab-stab…
nuts to this.

Mine doesn’t change direction. But I always knew there was something fundamentally wrong with me. This is just a little more proof.
i like my toto’s free, so i wear sandales, it’s better for my fingers

Aha! Braaaain succumbs! If I draw the number 6 starting from the inside instead of the top… uhm… instead of from the top down… foot obeys!
But I still can’t play a roll to save me life. stab
I guess I’m brain-damaged too…
Now there IS something you can do about it, too:
draw the 6 starting from its center, ending on its trailing “tail” (or snoot?)…
I did it, but it took a lot of concentration. 
With lots of concentration I can do it also, but I can’t do it quickly or smoothly.

It’s a little awkward, but I can do it anyway.
Oh, did I forget to mention that I’m left handed? 
If I reeeeeeally try reeeeeeally hard, I can sorta do it. It ain’t pretty.
Blast you, Paul.
I’m with Avanutria, I must be broke as well. I have no problems maintaining direction.
Maybe it’s a left\right brain thing. I’m fairly right brain dominant (suspect Ava may be as well from years of reading her posts )

Maybe it’s from playing too much quena, oxygen debt and all that. We’ve been working on a second CD and playing the same thing over and over in the studio is driving me bonkers.
Remember, you didn’t get the foot so it would do what you wanted it to do…
I can do it if I watch my foot.
LOL!
I tried concentrating…no go.
I tried yelling at my foot to obey me…no go.
I tried sweet talking my foot (saying things like, “you’re such a good foot” and “you’ve always been my favorite foot”…to no avail.
I haven’t been this completely aggravated in some time. Thanks a bundle brewerpaul

Very funny…very funnny
Fun with feet, eh? Fer a minute there I thought this thread was about this infernal game my teens are hooked on called DDR (Dance Dance Revolution,) another gift from the clever Japanese to we dumb susceptible Yanks.
I’ve tried it, and fail miserably (compared to the kids.) The lovely thing keeps score, and continually brands me with an “E”.
Hmm. My older girl (15) really likes this game. There is at least one other dance-type game out there, but I don’t recall the name; she tried it once and dismissed it as “not as much fun - too simple”.
They have a fixed price session at our local arcade on Saturday mornings (9AM-Noon) - she and a couple of friends just about camp on the DDR game. She claims it’s as good a workout as aerobics at the gym - seeing how sweaty she gets, I believe her.
