Enormous Football-Loving Satanic Cult In Texas


President Bush's "Hook 'em, 'Horns" gesture Thursday got lost in translation in Norway, where shocked people saw it as a salute to Satan.

Pictorial evidence shows that the back of the hand, not the palm, should be showing for it to be a Devil/Heavy Metal sign.
Thanks for the good laugh, Norway! It might be better to "beef up" on foreign customs before spreading calumny.

UPDATE:
Some people are ignorant of customs, while others are just basic run-of-the-mill churls.

Honestly, I thought that was the heavy-metal sign for the Devil.

I take it you never watched "The Osbournes", then.

Actually, it's just the sign of a lesser demon, the University of Texas Longhorns.

Texas A&M University,'76, Gig em!

Do y'all make some sort of Beelzebub-worshipping gigging motion when you see each other?

Texas A&M "Aggies" flash a "thumbs-up" signal. I've seen Dubya do that with both hands (thumbs). This is far more Presidential than the pansy pinky-finger thing (also called the "tea-sip"). I'm sure Dubya and Laura were just being polite to some "T-sippers" screeching at them from the crowd.

LOL. Well, that's where Jenna went to school, so I'm sure they have to.
I went to FSU and UF, but don't walk around chopping. I don't think UF has any little motion at all.

My university was also an ag school. Our secret sign feigns milking a cow. Which is why you don't see it in public very much...
