AppleInsider Secret Handshake

Posted:
in General Discussion edited January 2014
Leonis asked (in AppleOutsider) if any of us have ever met another AI member in person). I replied that if I have that I never knew it...which made me realize that we need a secret AI handshake, signal, catchphrase or sign/countersign to figure out who our members are if ever we meet.



HANDSHAKE: while shaking hands grin and say "confirmed"



SIGNAL: fold your right hand closed with your thumb sticking between your middle finger and your ring finger, simulating an apple. Pretend to take a bite.



CATCHPHRASE: "I'm making the [whatever] now!"



SIGN: stroke your chin with right hand then touch your nose with your left hand

COUNTERSIGN: rub your belly and scream "AppleInsider DUDE!"





Any comments?

    i vote for the handshake with the "confirmed."



    its simple, yet affective.



    what does everybody else think? do we start using the "confirmed" handshake?

    That would be, without a doubt, the gayest thing in the history of mankind.



    But it's a nice thought.

    i think the catchfraize is best.

    "i am making the [whatever] now!" and such.

    Who is meh?



    While we're at it, we should have our own dance



    Although I do support a cool AppleInsider T-shirt with "CONFIRMED!" somehow worked into the design somehow.



    A nice little inside joke to wear around...
