the next person who tries to shake my hand is getting punched in the neck, that shit is disgusting.

 

[roguejuror]

why even fist bump, just do korean bow

 

[bacon]

no because this guy



is an asshole

 

[PuckOff]

Watch it Bacon. His spies are watching Gamelive. They are also keeping an eye on RJ.

 

[roguejuror]

ok do a south korean bow

 

[kato]

i am not a fistbumper

not much of a hand shaker

some times i will shake my clients hand - but i keep anti-bacterial stuff in my car

that is all

 

[mrquincy]

I still hand shake from time to time. I used to take my work gloves off but sometimes now I don't. I also will go to the fistbump if I feel the need to do so.

 

[reno cool]

hmm. hockey players shake hands. And I hate those tools that don't take off their hockey glove. I guess if we can shake hands and live that makes us better people. I'll go with that.

 

[Boner_18]

I have a short list of people who I bump either because I think they prefer it (germaphobes) or because I prefer ot (they're gross).

 

[kato]

i do also high 5 a lot

 

[roguejuror]

i do also high 5 a lot

im hugging you

 

[kato]

i am glad

i am a hugger as well

----but--- I detest when someone slaps me on the back

 

[reno cool]

hmm. I think I do that sometimes. (maybe more like tapping on the shoulder). Is that the same thing?

never knew people gave much thought to all this stuff. Fist bumping seems a bit unrefined.

I remember the handshake we did in high school was pretty cool imo. It was like a sliding your palms and grabbing the fingers. Must be why I don't keep in touch with anyone from high school. They must've died out from all the germ spreading.

You racist, the fist bump was started by the Negroes.

 

[MrX]

I'm trying to phase fist-bumping out of my life.

The hardest part is some hockey friends who put the bump and the end of one of those complicated handshakes. What can I do? Leave them hanging?

 

[reno cool]

Probably some dumb basketball player. I don't think Malcolm X started it Plommer. But if it was started by the revolutionaries I'll reconsider it.

Thats the thing Mr.X its the thought that counts. But I don't remember what complicated handshake part?

Well, Don does one of those handshakes that turns into a finger slide with a bump finale. Or, at least he does with me. Maybe I'm encouraging it, somehow? Hard to say with these things sometimes.
