I never considered the art of the "fist-bump" controversial, until my friend Pete brought it up on his blog. I would like to state, for the record, that I am a firm believer in the hug, handshake, fist-bump, and my personal favorite... the "Good Game" ( )( ). I feel the congratulatory head-butt may be a little passe, and the "hello kiss" should be reserved for wives and moms (your own preferably). Yet I'm compelled to believe that the world is a better place because men have learned an expression of excitement that can provoke other men to new levels of testosterocity. Think of O.C.D. germ-a-phobics like, Howie Mandel, who have a hard time shaking hands; or the Chinese, who merely bow towards each other. How do they release the cleansing power of their endorphines?
If you think about it...Couldn't all the world's problems be solved over a good sporting event and about a dozen fist-bumps? After world peace is attained, won't world leaders want to seal-the-deal with a "good game?" Maybe that's taking it a little too far, but I don't want my children to grow up in a world where bumping is a crime. I say, "VIVA LA BUMP!"

I have to be honest... I felt kinda dirty reading over the parentheses butt you made. But you did solve all the world's problems with one blog post.
I'd give you a virtual pound if I knew how. Nicely written.
