LMU Needs to Learn to Fist Pump!

Third Eye Blind and DJ Steve Aoki performed at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, CA From the looks of it they seem disappointed by the standard Concert Hand Wave (CHW). It should be noted that the CHW is the gay, ginger, step-cousin of the exponentially more epic Fist Pump!



Steve Aoki can't believe that no one at LMU has the passion to Fist Pump.



Well at least one kid got it.

Overall LMU gets a Fist Pumpin grade of F--- We here at Fist Pumping Tales suggest they invite the men and women of Jersey Shore to campus to teach a seminar on Fist Pumping 101.

Raise the roof pump

I forgot about the return of the Bachelor tonight until a friend reminded me. I was so excited I had to fist pump. Decided to go with the vertical jumping fist pump. I am 6'4 and the ceiling in my room is low. My hand got pumped into the ceiling pretty hard and it hurt like hell but it was worth it.

FPWD (Fist Pumping While Driving)

On Sunday (01/02/10) I was driving to make a delivery. As I approached an intersection a totally kick ass song came on the radio and I couldn't help but fist pump along to it for a little while. After I pass through the intersection I notice a cop in my rear-view mirror. Suddenly his lights flash and he's pulling me over.

After running my plates the officer ambles to my window and tells me that he pulled me over because my truck didn't have its registration sticker- although my registration was paid for. He told me that he only noticed me as I passed through the intersection because he saw me "flailing about." I explained I was fist pumping to a song and during this explanation I mentioned Jersey Shore. The officer then laughed and told me how much his kids love the show and have taken to fist pumping at random times themselves.

A brief conversation about Jersey Shore and fist pumping led to us sharing that we were both Italian on our mother's side and an amusing bit of guido bonding ensued which resulted in me receiving a friendly verbal warning to hurry up and get my truck smogged, so the DMV could mail me my tags, and only fist pump while driving if it's safe.

As I drove away I fist pumped at the awesomeness of what had just happened.

Heroes

A special thank you to the cast of Jersey Shore for their advocacy of the fist pump and for adding fist pumping to the laundry list of amazing contributions Italians and Italian Americans have given to the US and the world. Without their carefree and exuberant love of the fist pump this page wouldn't be possible.
