I have a friend who made a short horror film/parody on this hoary
idea, starring his six-year-old son.  The great part was in the
climatic fight scene between the kid and his hand, the hand would
attack in the classic Three Stooges "pick two" position, and the kid
would counter with the equally classic hand-in-front-of-the-nose
defense.  It was hilarious, makes me wish AGAIN I was writing Twin
Peaks, AND is a heck of a good self-defense tip, should any of us, god
forbid, ever find ourselves attacked by one of our own hands.

Maybe BOB is really MOE!
