Hugshakes

Spent an idle minute or two today discussing that classic male interaction where one friend reaches a hand out for a chilled-out handshake, while simultaneously the other prepares for a warm embrace.

Whoops!

This typically happens between heterosexual male friends who haven't seen one another in a few months.

Who feels weirder about this, the guy who overestimated the closeness of the friendship, or the one who erred on the low side?

I'll save the 'man-hug', also known as the Hugshake, for another blog post.

Now that we're on the other side of the fence, I think it's safe for me to share this link with you. It's a bunch of wacky disc-golfing Germans, who dress in funny Euro getups and take on bizarre pseudonyms. They're pretty handy with the ol' frisbee, too.
