I'm talking about when someone doesn't even close on your hand, just puts it out there limps and let's you clamp down. I never do the mongoloid crush of a hand, but gotta have a fir clasp.

They exchange a glance that could only be described as electric and break out into a cool multi-step handshake that only the ultimate humans know of

I'll have to check my photos but I'm pretty sure it was one of the Chicago museums we went to last summer that had a pretty cool collection of armor from Persia and the middle east

e. yeah, Art Institute of Chicago.

Hell yeah

I hope they have archives like the Higgins Armory did.

Spent a few months carefully unpacking and photographing hundreds of pieces of japnaese arms and armor for them because for every piece they had on display they had two hundred in condition ranging from why isn't this being displayed to shameful.

Do you know how loving annoying it is to photograph a pike and a tiny rear end helmet clasp in the same setup?

I was in Shanghai as an art student for some big cultural anniversary thing and we got to go to all of their museums with custom tours and poo poo.

The museums themselves are structurally unbelievable. Just nuts architecture.

The exhibits are incredibly underwhelming. Basically they have entire teams in west china digging up and bringing everything they can find and putting it in a museum. It's almost all vases. I remember someone telling me that in china it's less important that this is the actual thing v. its important that something like this has always been here. So they you know rebuild entire sections of the great wall for the tourists. But that might just be stupid westerner talk.

They did have a perfect to scale model of the city of shanghai at one place, relentlessly attended by like four or five people that updated it every day. It had cranes and everything. It was remarkable.

Haha in a way, game recognize game but deep down honestly dude that would ruin my year. I take handshaking incredibly serious. I shake hands with people at work who I've known and see all the time regularly. Including my dad every time we see each other. My grandfather is 87 years old and we were recently talking about shaking hands and how little respect we have for men with spineless wormy handshakes, he vividly recalls specific handshakes and compliments he's gotten in his life and prides himself on still having a strong grip to this day. Guys got a hammer. Big into handshake culture. It's hereditary I suppose.

Also, guys with soft hands. Soft hands on a man makes me feel contempt. No callouses = no respect

Hey come on. Even when I was doing blacksmithing, my hands refused to develop callous, the blisters would just harden, peel off, and then I'd be back to my amazingly supple norm.
