The Legend of Fist Shakin’ Fine

They were at one of the bars within stumbling distance to their apartment. Friends of ours who went to graduate school with Zel, before he was my husband.

Luis was there. And the Biostatistician. And their other roommate may have been there, but he may have been in California, visiting his girlfriend.

It was probably a weekend night, because they only really partied like rock stars on the weekend. But, knowing the guys, it could’ve been a weeknight.

As usual, they were checking out the women. What else is there to do in a small college town?

They were trying to one-up each other in what they were saying about the women. For example, at some point, it may or may not have been during this same night, they were talking about Jeri Ryan. At the time, she was playing Seven of Nine on “Star Trek: Voyager”. The Biostatistician said her breasts were Perfect Circles. And, they are. (No word from the band A Perfect Circle if they created their name from this, but anything’s possible.) And, it’s stuck. On the occasion we see a young hot thing with Jeri Ryanesque breasts, “Perfect Circles” comes from someone’s mouth.

Apparently the saying “Fist Shakin’ Fine” came because some babe walked into the bar, and somebody, either Luis or the Biostatistician said, “She’s so fine, she’s fist shakin’ fine!!” Complete with them shaking their fists above their heads (similar to the Fist Shakin’ Fine Bear).

The guys were shaking their fists so hard, they had difficulty staying on their bar stools. At this point, the bartender cut them off and sent them home.

No word if either of them ever saw the Fist Shakin’ Fine Babe again. But, knowing the guys, one of them got her phone number and ended up nailing her.
