Another reason why text messaging is so great these days.

Bert: Don't forget to watch jizz in my pants.

Me: What?!!??? U just jizzed in ur pants and u want me to look at it??!!

Bert: OMG. LOL. That was too funny.

Analysis: So was the LOL really a "laughing out loud cause it's funny"? Or was it "laughing out loud as in, wow, that's pretty embarassing and awkward". You be the judge.

2 minutes later, I watched Jizz In My Pants. On YouTube that is.

Why "hugging it out" is the only way to go...

Between guys, there's always a "handshake" or greeting that we do when we see each other and when we're leaving each other. Not just a regular "thank you for your time, we'll let you know next Wednesday about this position" kind of handshake.

Observe the following:

These are all standard common "you're my homie, homeboy, bro" shakes.

Sometimes, you don't really know which handshake type-of-person they are. So you kind of have this moment of "let me follow and see what you do and I will play along with it". Can we say awkward?

Yesterday, as Henry was leaving my house, we had a "moment". I reached out with my left hand to give him a normal handshake and he had an awkward look like "ok, so you're a lefty".

He reaches out with his left hand, but with a little hesitation. So I immediatelly jumped to thinking, he was the "lean in, hand-to-shoulder type" <3rd>. He had the look of "whao, what are you doing? What is this? Why are you leaning into me?"

Seeing that he wasn't responding to my lean-in, we ended up in a unspoken agreement at "the touch" <2nd>.

SO AWKWARD. It looked like two stiff guys, doing hand signals and one guy trying to hug another guy.

So I propose, from now on, guys should just all "hug it out". Eliminate the guessing of what kind of hand-shaker you are.
