You humans disgust me.
You are guilty of a huge injustice.
No, no, no. Oh no, you don't.
No clicking away allowed.
You can't run, you can't hide. You will listen to me and my case.
Anconeus is my name.
Don't know who or what I am?
Oh, you shall. Mark my words. You shall.
Oh, I know you are very familiar with my brothers and my sisters. They get all the attention. Everybody knows their names. Everybody cares what they're doing. Everybody can't wait to flex them. Everybody is excited to see how they develop, their tone and definition.
But there is something you don't know.
Without me?
They are nothing!
Noth-thing.
That's right. You read it correctly. And now? I am here to stand up for the rights of all anconeus world wide.
Of course, you still have no earthly idea of what I am.
And you should.
I am the small triangular extensor muscle located by your elbow. What's my function? Extension of the forearm.
Yet all we arm muscles ever hear is about the triARMverate, erm, I mean, triumverate.
Yes, deltoids, biceps, and triceps, oh my!
I'm sick to death that they get all the attention.
What about the anconeus?
Or the brachialis?
The rhomboids? (Not to be mistaken for the other 'rhoids.)
All of us contribute to the flexion and extension of the human arm.
But to hear you humans go on and on, it's ONLY about the deltoids, biceps, and triceps.
Gah.
Consider yourselves warned.
We anconeus will not be ignored any longer.
We will unite!
We shall fight!
We shall overcome this injustice.
We shall arm ourselves with the truth.
And the arms shall set us free!
Arms!
They ain't nuttin' without me.
Noth-thing.
B.S. No deltoids, triceps or biceps were harmed during the production of this post. But please try to remember: anconeus are muscles too!

"About someone posted a tribute to this worthy and so under-appreciated part of our bodies," said The Old Silly as he used his anconeus muscle to extend his right forearm, forefinger pointed skyward in a salute, "Here, here, Quirkster - you great champion of the little known and seldom recognized human body underlings!"

I am going to pamper my anconeus today! I wonder if it likes cookies?
Is the anconeus in the forearm? ...or the fivearm?
@Marvin Still trying to fool me with your psuedo monikers! Harumpf! Yes, anconeus everywhere are thanking me today. *smile*
@Catlady No, no, no! No cookies! Ice cold cans of Dr. Pepper applied generously, will make your anconeus simply purr. *smile*
@Noname Both. *smile*
I refuse to believe in anything I cannot spell...
Is still looking at her arm and wondering where any of those muscles are.
@VE You're probably an empiricist too, eh? Ha!
@Joanne LMBO! Me too, Missy, me too!
WTF?
Are you reading that anatomy book again? Or is the zombie in you talking?
;)
Now, this is weird. I knew the origin or playdough, but had you not provided the link to the human anatomy, I would not have had a clue. Amazing the things we learn.
Have an anconeus loving day!
Anconeus is a whiner. Tell him to do his part supporting all of the other nice little extensor muscles and to be happy doing it.
Sheesh!
@Mamaface Shh! How did you know? And duh, my inner zombie is ALWAYS talking. I can't get her to shut it! hee hee
@MeMe My anconeus feels loved and appreciated right now. Now if I could only remember to do this everyday. You know how it is..you take things for granted. *sigh* Ha!
@Reffie A whiner! What? Well maybe a tad, but hey, he gave me some excellent blog fodder, eh? *smile*
It's about time somebody stood up for the anconeus muscle, and small, unimportant body parts everywhere! Speaking of which, has Moooog seen this post?
@MikeWJ LMBO! LMBO! LMBO! I don't know if he's seen it, but that made me roll!
How great is it that Moooooog has to take crap even on other people's blogs? MikeWJ, that was epic!
Okay on to the actualy Quirkypost. I liked this. Now you need to stand up for uvulas (uvuli?) and that little valley under our noses.
Very Quirky, Quirky! Loved it for Monday.
I pulled a muscle just reading this....or maybe I just reached for my beer funny ;)
