    none of these work, they work no differently than what I already have... see, if my client has 10 stickys checked, I only want the four most recent. My code, and this code, as well as variations below are still showing all the stickys checked.

    No luck, would it be easier to do a tag, say "featured", and show 4 most recent featured tags?

  Replace showposts with posts_per_page or numberposts

    Here is another solution:
    

    $sticky=get_option('sticky_posts') ; 
    
    query_posts('p=' . $sticky[0].','.$sticky[1].','.$sticky[2].','.$sticky[3]);
    
    //LOOP

    
    Should work,if not,try to use seperate query_posts for each sticky,and read this for more information:
