High Five: The most sacred of gestures

A long time ago, long before electricity was ever applied to a guitar, there was the most honored and revered gesture that one human could give unto another. The High Five.
Since then, the high five has trickled through the years, slowly losing it's once highly held elegance and mind blowing majestic qualities. There are those of us out there though, that wish to preserve the legend of the high five and restore it to its rightful place among all gestures. Those of us who stand up for their right to high five and bring it back from the blind spot of the public eye and into the spotlight of the worlds stage.

"Dave, how can high fives be anything more then childish gesture"?

I'm glad you asked me, you foolish inquirer. Don't worry, I'll feed you, baby birds.

What is a high five? I'd like to read a page from the James Owens Dictionary to answer that. James Owens, if you don't know him, is one of the most brutally rock and roll of us all. He listens to the rapture, he lives the life...he writes the book. The term "high-five" is defined as follows:"

High-Five: Verb. A visual agreement or greeting, Signifying success, accomplishment, excitement, baddassitude etc. It is a purely physical manifestation consisting of hands connecting at full arm extension, mid air, resulting in a loud snapping sound, which has been be confirmed as a sonic boom, and is often mistaken from afar as Thor's hammer"This can not be done mentally. It has to be physical, a mental high-five could be expressed precisely as a non-verbal agreement, and nothing more
*closes book*

Once again I would like to reiterate... this is a sacred exchange. All High Five's are recorded in the High Five archive. Each high five is time stamped and saved with a quick description (as to discern between all other high fives) and nestled into the library system. Eventually, these high fives can be redeemed for totally awesome things such as Laser cannons, Robot Tigers, Sweet Moon base hideouts and Hurricane generation machines.

In short, the high five is a sort of contractual agreement. It means "Yes, this is good. All of it. Moreover, I approve" and it can not be reversed upon. Penalty for doing so is not only punishable by death but by being thrust from a cannon into the sun. This is so the memory of you will be disposed of as well.

High fives are coming back people. Honor and cherish them because High Fiving is something you could remembered by. A great man once said "You are only as good as your last High Five". Of course.....that great man was me. I hold myself in high regards.

Keep shredding,
-Dave
