Danny "Gobi" Glover

Aside the Gobi ear protection, check out the gloves. If I had a pair of these I would be stoked! Honestly, if anybody knows what these Gobi nubule's are used for, please write me and fill me in. I am curious - when this guy is slipping the gloves on, (making a fist and opening his hand in a rapid motion, pulling hard to get the glove on faster) what is he thinking when he looks at the Gobi portion of the glove?
