high five

I'm guessing many of you will be spending some time hanging out with HIGHFIVE this weekend.

Imagine how much worse it was for the guy who invented the hug.

Me neither. But I did dodge a tennis ball going 100 miles per hour.

Just another day at the Tosh.0 office.

NBA players! They're just like us!

Except they have trophy wives and millions of dollars and fancy cars and they get paid to play a sport and they're famous and they have fans and people wear their names on the back of their shirts and they have agents and sponsors and probably very little debt.

But look how awkward they are! They're just like us!

People have been going nuts over the above section of the Wikipedia article on "High five."

The article has a large a subsection for "Variations" on the high five — 16 as of post time.  (Though it's Wikipedia, so feel free to go add more.)

Many of the variations are ridiculous (I haven't heard of half of them), but the "Too slow" variation wins in the TMI category, as a user went as far as to take a series of four pictures depicting this particular high five variation and posted them on Wikipedia to visually explain how one would recreate a "too slow" high five.

Seriously?  Is this necessary?  Do we really need to clutter up our online encyclopedias with a photo series demonstrating how to do a particular type of high five in an article featuring sixteen different variations on the high fives?

My answer…  I have no idea.  Though bonus points to whoever added this part of the post for their declaration of "victim misses."

People think the girl is cute: I guess that has something do with it.  Though, frankly, I've high fived better.
