Fispumping in Cancun?

      In 36 hours, I will be on a plane heading to Cancun to sip margaritas and harass some senioritas.  One would think this would be enough to excite a man like me, but as always, it isn’t.  I’m stuck on the thought of how will the fistpumping be in Cancun?  Will the pump be the same or will there be a new style that has yet to reach the United States?  Something Mexico’s cheap, easily exploited workers seemed to have left behind in the motherland.

     I’m staying at the Oasis, which I believe Dante put somewhere in the middle of Hell, so one would imagine the “Call of the Devil” fistpump will be prevalent.  Being enclosed in this “Oasis” will probably limit my contact with the locals and make me feel as if I am at the once popular Mexican-themed Nova bar, Johnny Cabos so I believe the pumps I will see will not be very different from those thrown at 707 or other sweet numbered houses in the Radnor/Lower Marion area.  Something I know for sure is that there is a certain group of guys of a certain common national origin, who will be doing a dance named after them, but I want to make something perfectly clear: THESE ARE NOT FISTPUMPS!!!. While hilarious to look at and closely linked to music, there are many reasons that these are not fistpumps; most notably the lack of tightly clenched fists.

     When comparing the faces on fistpumps.com to the names on my travel group list, I am more then confident that the fistpumps fill be both skillful and prevalent.  A group of 10 fine young men with a combined pumptitude of 79 promises truly great things.

     See you in Cancun!
