It's Easley, Dan. How dare you misspell the name of the hotness that is Mike Easley.
Omg. I mean Eli. Omg. I will go home and shoot myself. Please forgive me.
So, we're calling this fist bump thing "daps" now?
Look at the funky, funky white people.
I hope to see McCain display his fresh up-to-date pop'n'lock skills soon.
"Now" everyone's doing it?
The "fist bump"—known as a "pound" out here on the East Coast—officially died on a June day in 2005 when, back home in Indiana, a 60-year-old white guy offered me one after, yes, I sank a 10-foot putt.
I'm sorry, but every time I see one of these examples, all I can think is, "when do the Wonder Twin powers activate?"
i love it!
I was wondering when SLOG would mention it.
soon as we saw OHB and wife fist bump, me and the hubby switched from high 5in'.
we said watch this catch on everywhere.
we were watching the interview with Wolf when he asked and DF and KBH did it. We said to each other "see - it is going to be all over" and laughed and laughed
yes, I know, we are total dorks.
Hmmm... I don't know.
Is it on Things White People Like's website yet?
Um, is that John McCain ten years ago when he was "younger"?
Wow, they don't even bother with "Some are saying..." anymore.
The "pound" has occurred at least once at every baseball game on TV, and in reality, since the year 2000, if not before.
I fistbump because I'm a germaphobe, and it's a "cutting edge" method of saying "what's up?" without having to touch your filthy hands.
@3: Well, that's the "urban" reference term of choice.
I love this and anything that helps ease the fears of Low-Information Americans that are uncertain about Barack and Michelle Obama.
LMFAO @ 6!
Why hasn't anyone Photoshopped the fist bump onto 'The Birth of Adam' in the Sistine Chapel?
Funny stuff.
I'm a fan of the handshake, bump, dap, whatever the Mexican handshake(s) are called, etc. They're all displays of a mutual willingness to accept one another.
Word on the net is that ED Hill has suddenly lost her show.
And, if everyone starts doing it? As an O supporter, good. If I were in O's campaign staff, I'd be encouraging "daps" or "respek knucks" or whathaveyou all over the place, on TV, in public, everywhere.
Won't be surprised if I see an email from David Plouffe to that effect within the next 48 hours.
Oh my GOD. I work in the media and I still don't understand the stupidity involved in making this into any kind of a story. WHY would anyone even remember this having happened? Is there anyone alive who has truly never seen anyone bump fists, or whatever "hip" term we're using for the gesture? Seriously, any of the news producers who thought this was worth reporting on need to shut the fuck up and find real news to report on.
Jo @ 20,
Well the media has got to come up with some way to prevent an actual discussion of the issues and crises facing the country, and they gave up trying to make sense years ago.
Wasn't there an apt Onion article titled something like "Bullshit Most Important Issue of Election '08."
