Knuck-Boom!

From that moment on, a fast friendship formed between J.R. and myself. He was so excited to be the escort of someone of like mind.

As we waited backstage we became more acquainted and he said, "I love your personality and I think we need to make it more apparent to the audience. I want them to get a small taste of your joy and spunk. How about when you finish your speech we bump our fists together?" Once again I didn't think about my answer I just said, "OK! After we do knuckles, lets make our hands look like their exploding." He started jumping up and down like an excited two year old waiting to sit on Santa's lap, muttering, "Goody! Goody! Goody!"

I did my speech, then we proceeded to do the 'knuck-boom' motion. The two combined brought the audience to their feet, laughing and applauding. I've always gone for the laugh, so my mind computed this and suddenly I knew a part of how I would entertain MY audience.

 Each time I did anything a tiny bit noteworthy I 'knuck-boomed' J.R. This was a crowd pleaser that made many people (a lot I didn't even know) feel comfortable enough to freely come at me, hand in fist position, ready to do my signature move...
