The Handshake

The Handshake. That ever so iconic handshake. Rhett and Link have done it so many times over the years, and it always gives me a warm fuzzy feeling to see them do it. From that first time in 1996, they seem to have done it at almost any important event. My idea is that we could round up every picture of them performing the Handshake and order them chronologically, to keep a record of every time they've done it. I'll start off this post with a few, but I know there are MANY, MANY more. If you find a picture that isn't on this post, post it in a reply to this discussion. If possible, try to include the year and event when posting :) BYMB!!

another little bit of TRIVIA - - -

Just as Rhett always sits to the RIGHT of Link so that they are

R = Rhett = Right
L = Link = Left

notice that Rhett holds up the RIGHT leg and Link his LEFT leg for this handshake.

Same for the caricature images inside the right and left mythical shoes.

But Link says hes happiest when typing with his right hand. And, Links name is spelled all on the right side of the keyboard, which also makes him happy to type.

Seeing all those Handshake moments would be such a nostalgic trip down memory lane! Rhett and Link's handshake is practically a tradition at this point. It's amazing how something so simple can carry so much meaning over the years. As we gather these iconic images, it's almost like we're creating a visual history of their journey together. And hey, while we're on the topic of handshakes, I couldn't help but think—maybe we should have a virtual hand sanitiser station on standby for all the times we revisit those epic handshakes, just to keep things fresh and clean in spirit! Let's keep those pictures coming, everyone!
