No

But I could send my kids over.  They practice it daily and keep telling me that I'm doing it wrong (it's three shakes down and one up...or not)

Or as my son corrects me...

Three slaps, two shakes, one all-hands-up.  Or something like that.

I thought

It was 3 slaps of the hands, and on that last slap the hands lock and then they do that shake thing while they stomp/hop their right foot 3 times.

Oh, ah-hem, well...errhhh

"don't call us we'll call you."

But I thought I did well in the interview and you said I'd probably get the job?

"Sir, it's that, that, handshake after the interview that changed our mind."

the great playoff miss of 2004 followed by the good try of 2005...and in 2006 don't make me sick.

If you go to the A's

Top Plays Archive -- 8/28/06 Red Sox @ Oakland -- Swish's 28th Homer -- 28 seconds in -- is video of THE handshake. That's all I got.

That's pretty much it.

except the camera only showed like two slaps of the hand when there is really three. Three of each I believe?

Jen, I saw it.

The camera angle was bad.

here's the video...

milton and swisher call it "all aboard"... just think of the pumping motion as pulling on a train whistle and it makes sense!

nick and i talk about it (about halfway through this segment):

Awwww, thanks!

You're a gem, Brodie!

I think Dirk Nowitzki has a similar routine with the hair.
