Free High Fives

High five every stranger you walk by...it will make you smile.



These guys, Carl and Stevie of Mississippi State,
witnessed that firsthand while visiting the Big Apple.


Thus The High Five Revolution was born and
brought back to Bulldog Country for all to love.


Now, every Friday from 12 P.M. to 1 P.M.,
they prowl the campus, bumping hands with their fellow colleagues...


and, honestly, what could cheer up someone's afternoon more than this?

via my love for you is a stampede of horses (one of my favs, must bookmark)

P.S. Stay tuned the rest of the week for a fabulous giveaway that can save you some serious dough...because I know most of my readers, like me, have a little bit of a spending issue :)

Haha how funny! This seems so American to me. If it were in England it would be like 'free hand shakes' or something hehe

helen: haha it really is! i love that, free handshakes! i'm trying to think of other funny and cute ways of sparking a smile.

Smiles I'm cool with, but I'm not big on touching strangers. If I tried this in Hong Kong, I think people would look at me like a SARS-infecting machine.
