    It's a little more informal than I'd like but at least it's not calling anyone over 5'6 "Stretch" and crying on their shoulder when the cameras are rolling.

    Thank you for referring to as a pound! Dap is also an acceptable alternate. Stupid 'nillas, always stealing our stuff and making it less cool. Can't we have anything all to ourselves!

    @heywhat: Nope, not if it's perceived as cool. But look at it this way, by the time we white folks catch on, you've probably stopped doing it, right?


    But the discrimination, less pay, last hired, first fired, ghettoization, etc. You can still have that. I don't see very many white people who would volunteer to be followed around in a store in exchange for a dap. We'll take the dap and still follow you around in our stores.

    so much healthier than the germ-spreading handshake, which I always found gross and refuse to do anymore.

    Love him. Love the fist bump. I thought it was stupid at first, and when an older friend where I volunteer fist bumped me I thought it was pretty awkward--but now I see him every 2 weeks and we greet each other with a fist bump. It's kind of sweet.

    Now you have to do "Gimme five. Up high. Down low. Too slow!" with him.

    The Obama's are very affectionate. They do a lot of touching, kissing, even fisting with one another!

    This proves that B. Hussein Obama has normalized a known terrorist act and that the terrorist fist jab has infiltrated all corners of American life, from our youth to our military. I've heard that instead of "hello" people are now firing a round from their AK-47s into the air.

    @NoWireHangers: I've been doing that for years. Sometimes when I feel especially cheerful I'll fire my AK-47 in the air and yell:


    GET OFF MY LAWN!!!!!!!!!

    I kind of love the informality of it all. I also notice that Obama has a "Bump" Face. He really puts a lot of concentration into those bumps, you guys.

    @Colonel Mustard: Great observation. He really wants to get all the knuckles neatly lining up. A socialist trait, to be sure.

    No.9 looks like it should be a promo shot for an upcoming sitcom. I'd watch.
