I also doubt Kurt would enjoy Legos. Some of those pieces are friggin' tiny!:yell

On a side note; Yes, they do pass through your system. (Well, a dog's anyway....)

I tried using chopsticks as if I only had two fingers like Kurt, and it CAN be done, with practice. Of course, some restaurants rubber-band them together for the less dextrous among us, so maybe Kurt would use the "kiddie" chopsticks. That is, if you could get him into a sushi restaurant. :thumbup

What about setting the alarm clock, I know i have heaps of trouble with that and my hands are much smaller than his. I'm not sure if he has any cause to use an alarm clock, but if he did, imagine trying to change the time with those tiny little buttons.

And watches, especially digital; I happily have all eight fingers and two thumbs and STILL can't set the damn things.

And, to stay on subject, what about taking off his pants?

His tail spade appearsto be a little curved at the base, like movie crawler's was. I'll get a pic up soon.

if your fingernails are long even just a bit, you can reach those tiny buttons.

Most alarm clocks would be fine, I agree. Where I see the problems setting in is using those teensy-weensie itsy-bitsy calculator/address book/ watch combos. The buttons are literally 1/8 of an inch long, even smaller width-wise, and very close together. The same with the smaller cell phones. With fingernails, he might be able to use them, though I see his nails as being ferociously thick. But they'd be so damn frustrating for him, and take so long to use, that he'd avoid them like the plague.

There's an interesting phone I've seen out there with really big buttons (an inch square, each). Besides just being distinctive, it's a boon for people with failing eyesight, Parkinson's disease, arthritis, and various movement-constricting injuries. THAT's the kind of phone I'd think Kurt would use: perfect size buttons for those fingers.

Hmm... Y'know that coin trick, where you make a coin sorta... dance through your fingers? You need five for that, so he wouldn't be able to do it... I can immagine him trying, though, and dropping the coin every time. :P

... I don't think he'd be a very successfull pick-pocket, either, with those large fingers... unless he used his tail. :rolleyes

:D:D Oh, yes. The second you make any tail references, the schwanz jokes are gonna start flyin'.:naughty

Personally, I always figured that Kurt just couldn't hold down a position in sales. Even if he was a 100% normal looking guy, he's just too damn nice. He'd never lie to the customer to make a sale, nor would he annoy people into buying things just to get rid of him. Two completely reprehensible traits, reviled in the normal world, that are actively searched for and rewarded in the wild world of sales. :yech

I bet Kurt couldn't go for more than five or six consecutive meals without biting his lip. I have lower canines that stick out just like comic Kurt's, and can't go long without having the horrible sensation of biting the inside of my lip! :X

Yeesh. You DON'T wanna know what immediately came to mind when I thought on this topic...

Other than that... I'm pretty sure it takes him longer than most people to dry off after a shower or something. Can you imagine being covered in fur and swimming in chlorinated pool water? I bet it gets all matted and gross. It might even bleach or turn green. At the very least, it wouldn't be very good for it. Continuing along the same lines, I wonder if he has to buy lots of shampoo. Considering that normal shampoo is made for human hair and not fur, he might have to use pet shampoo. Ew.

Dear god, I hope he doesn't get fleas...

And speaking of biting lips, what about kissing? I'd be a little wary of kissing someone with teeth like his. Just a little, though. :D

I also noticed that people mentioned holding their pen/pencil funny. I hold mine the same way, resting on top of my ring finger. (And I'm a rightie.) I had my teachers question me about it in elementary school. I now have a huge callous. I'm quite proud of it. Unlike some others, though, my handwriting is pretty ugly...

P.S. First post!

Actually, kissing someone with fangs isn't all that hard, french kissing takes some pratice, but really it's fairly easy. :naughty :bamf

I've always kind of assumed he wouldn't be much for swimming pools because of that (used it in a fic I haven't bothered to finish yet). Don't think chlorine green elf would be very attractive, plus it just dries your hair out and makes it like straw after awhile. Having that happen to your whole body would be neither attractive nor comfortable.
How about poor Evo-Kurt. I'm sure it's nice going to school and all, but sitting all day in school desk chairs w/that tail and not being able to let it out of his holographic image. There's a reason he usually crouches on chairs after all. Must get kind of cramped by the end of the day, maybe even chafed where it hits the seat backs. And don't suggest sitting on it like the earlier suggestions for flying or driving - imagine sitting on an even mildly sensitive appendage on a hard seat all day. Ouch, talk about losing circulation!

I KNOW SOMETHING HE CAN'T DO!

It came to me today at work.

He can't ride KRACKEN (the best coaster in Florida) Or any coaster that has those custom seats that when you get out of them you have a camel toe showing.

I can't imagine how many times Kurt's probably bitten his tongue...or cut somebody else's.

I've got a "professionaly-made" pair of fangs (teeth caps, thank you). They're very lifelike, since they were created only for me. When I wear them, I can still kiss without a problem. And Frenching isn't a problem, as the fangs are on the canines, leaving about an inch between them for the tongue.

However, for MovieCrawler's shark-like teeth... things could get a bit more... complex....
