I'll take "dry and witty" over "wacky and loud" any day of the week.

The SUperFInger or SU-FI (pronounced Sue-Feye) Consists of raising the middle finger, ring finger, and thumb on the same hand while lowering (or curling) the index and pinky fingers.

As with many things in my life, what started out as a routine on stage became something that just took on a life of its own. The original joke performed at the Laugh Factory in Hollywood was about having to be so pissed off at someone that giving them the finger just wouldn't be enough, so you'd have to give them just a little bit extra--the SUperFinger (or the SU-FI if you're a bad ass M F).

While that may be the origin, what the SU-FI hand gesture and logo have become is extreme bluntness and honesty. It says I realize you are feeling my truth and my dedication. You're saying thanks for just bringing it honest, and I return that vibe with the SU-FI. You can't fuck with the truth and I appreciate that you would indicate that to me with a flash of the SU-FI. It's not just a hand gesture or a sign, but it's what it stands for. If someone were to ask me what is so important to me about the SU-FI and how I relate to it, I'd have to say that whenever I see the SU-FI being displayed by people from all walks of life, and throughout the world it reminds me of just how lucky I am to have such amazing fans.

SUperFInger Entertainment:

The SUperFInger photos that I have received from fans all over the planet has been an inspiration to me. I formed SUperFInger Entertainment, a company that will bring all of my ideas to life.

That's the story of the SU-FI. Now here is my own SU-FI tale:

Some time ago I was driving down Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood. To be honest I was driving way too fast because I was blasting Van Halen's 'Panama' and it was a fucking beautiful afternoon. This guy in a 1983 Ford Recall comes out of a side street without stopping, he sees me bombing straight at him and jams on his breaks, I do too and my car skids to a stop one inch from his shitbox. He yells "Slow down!" I threw him a SUperFInger and just held it, as I turned to blast by him. He threw the SUperFInger back at me and laughed! It was really cool. Whoever you were shit head driver, it was great to SU-FI with you. All is forgiven now.
