I've never told this story before, but felt enough time has passed that the events won't have been remembered by anyone from MLG Dallas.

This year I attended MLG Dallas with one goal in mind, piss off Liquid`Tyler. I had seen in a recent state of the game at the time that Tyler hates people who give handshakes with no muscle. I knew I had to replicate his worst nightmare at MLG by plaguing him with the worst girly handshake I could muster.

Anyways, when I finally got to MLG with my friend, we made it our goal to find noony. Within minutes of getting in, I saw him. We rushed over to where he and Incontrol were greeting fans, and in the most awkward of fashions I approached him without a word and just stuck out my hand. He relectunatly grabbed it but I didn't grab back, I just let it sit in his hand while he gave me this look of disgust. It was pure satisfaction. Then I stood there for five minutes by them while they talked to other people, and he would not stop staring at me like I had down syndrome. The end.

Pretty random story O.o

If you really wanted to give a girly handshake, you should have just let your hand hang limp, and looked all dainty.

On a side note, I don't get why you'd want to get nony to dislike you. Mission accomplished, I guess. :p

Maybe you just can't comprehend how funny and awkward it was, but I assure you it was well worth it.

OMG I fuckin hate this. its funny because one of the tips for interviews is that you give a firm handshake. I had this interview where the interviewER gave me the limp fish handshake. and she even presented her hand palm down like a princess. and i was like WTF AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WITH THIS. RAGEEEE. /rant

This sounds like one of those stories that sounds great in your head.

Then when you write it out and people read it, they are in disgust of you.
