The Voices in Danny's Head: Copaganda. SOMEBODY SAY COPAGANDA!!!

Haha even the voices couldn't have come up with Copaganda but they are very impressed. Maybe YOU'RE the crazy one, Todd!!!

Also, Copaganda reminds me of this top notch (cop notch?) moment from Community season 3.

Shaking the hand is boring but better. When somebody tries to hug me I bring the hand and create space between us. I stop that person. I don't care what that person thinks.

Thanks

Also people don't want to get hugged. STOP touching me stranger. If we don't know each well I don't want any kind of physical contact.

I like hugs, even hugs from strangers. Maybe because I don't get any human contact most days. Why do hugs bother people? It's nicer than a handshake - two fleshy dirty hands swapping bacteria. There also tends to be less confusion over how a hug is supposed to work in contrast to a handshake.

That being said, I rarely initiate a hug because I try to respect personal boundaries. I went on a blind date a few months ago and tried to end things with a hug because I thought we hit it off, but afterwards she looked noticeably uncomfortable and I felt like dying. I hate misreading social cues.

I much prefer the handshake to the hug, and I'm only ever hugging when some chick that I don't know very well hugs me by default. She has to push past the shake-ready hand every time. I'd say it happens a couple times a year. I think I would literally fight anyone who tried to kiss me, cheek or otherwise.

I hug my kids and wife everyday, because I mean it. All the rest of y'all can get out of here.
