shake my fist at people

Fist shaking is awesome. It’s the bees knees, the shit, the cats pajama’s or whatever. I do it ALL the time. You feel so much better because sometimes words just can’t describe your emotion well enough. Go ahead, shake your fist.

With any hint of frustration or dissatisfaction my fist hits the air and begins convulsing. Mostly you’ll see my fist in the air while driving in LA.

I am feeling more mary then I did when I wanted to do this, I would rather smile at people at the moment.

I’m just not the confrontational type, alas.

Following my now legendary enkai photographic antics, I have been promoted to official town festival photographer. Yes!!
The town mascot (Aichan man) happens to be a giant superhero mushroom flying through the air with his fist raised in a gesture of triumph/ defiance depending on how you look at it.
I therefore spent my first professional assignment coaxing townsfolk/ army officers/ the mayor and his minions to shake their fists “like Aichan man” as they posed for my photos. I think they were a little bemused at first, but they soon got into the spirit of things. I had them roaring with mock/ supressed rage by the end of the morning. I think the whole town feels a little calmer to have got it out of their system at last.

Good job, Aichan man.

on the road (usually the freeways) – instead of flipping someone off, I shake my fist at them.

I think it’s more effective as everyone expects to get flipped off, but no one expects the fist.

I love to do this and learnt to do so from friends and family.
It’s liberating.

you know you feel like a crazy, cranky old man when you do this, and you know it feels good.

Too many middle fingers these days.
There’s more power & energy in the fist.
The bird is for sissies.
I had a lady flip me off recently, and she didn’t look at me, and it really wasn’t effective extending her pretty little finger with the french manicure.
The fist is fury and you’ve got to do it with eye contact. Then shake it while scrunching up your nose and mouth.

I shake my fist at all things, for all reasons. No joke. It just makes a person feel…elevated, y’know? Like a ravishing conquistador or something.
