The Culture section of High Five Me is admittedly quite small at the moment. However, there is a new addition to our section on high fives in music: Goodbye High Fives.

The Goodbye High Fives hail from Abingdon in Oxfordshire and are named after one of The Todd's (a character from Scrubs) high fives. You can find out more about the band by reading the description on High Five Me, or checking out their MySpace Profile where you can hear some of their songs.

Goodbye High Fives are very good and you should check them out if you're a fan of music or high fives; or better yet both.

It was time for me to leave. Many lives were saved and High Fiving skills were spread throughout the region. Especially to George the elderly theatre porter, he loved the sting of an early morning high five greating.

I am off to Australia now to spead the Fives even further and hopefully get some photos with the logo in next to famous land marks.

In the meantime please enjoy this photo of me at the hospital gates spreading the love.

Emily's been in LA recently and while there she took the opportunity to High Five with Jemma over Tom Cruise's Walk of Fame star! Cruise has a prominent place in High Five culture, having starred as Maverick in the classic "Top Gun" he's famous for unleashing the High Five, Low Five on an unsuspecting world back in '86.

You know who else lives in LA apart from Tom Cruise and a bunch of other Scientologists? The Fresh Prince of Bel Air thats who, and if you remember the TV series as well as Danny Gray does you'll recall that Will and Jazzy Jeff had their own Fresh Prince Five. Danny pointed out our list of High Five Variations was lacking this type of five, and even sent us a link to a video of the Fresh Prince Five in action! Good work D-Money!

You can check out our new entry for the Fresh Prince Five here.

If anyone else has suggestions or comments for the site they're most welcome so just send us an e-five to e-five@highfive.me.uk

Yet more types of High Five have been added to our High Five Variations page. The most recent additions are the Sterile Five; Mental Five; and the Miss You High Five.

The Variants Page now boasts 25 different types of High Five!

High Five Me's Emily is currently living it up travelling round the world under the pretence of doing a medical elective. You don't fool me Emily. Anyway she's keeping it real enough to remember to spread the word of High Five Me around the world and high five in some unique locations. Check out these pictures of Emily giving a high five to a bear, and high fiving inside the world's biggest tree!

 

Emily's fellow fivee is Matt - not me, I'm at home slaving over a hot MacBook Pro (and I don't mean hot figuratively you could cook on this thing). Much props to Matt for spreading the five love in the US of A!

If anyone else out there has any good high five pictures they'd like to share, send them to us at e-five@highfive.me.uk and we'll put them in our High Five Gallery.

Wherever you are in the world - keep on fivin'!

We all know that not following good High Five Etiquette can result in embarassment, but would anyone believe it could result in injury or even death? Well thats what the quick-witted folks at Improv-Abilities tried to find out when they took their improvisational comedy to the streets of Kansas City.

Claiming to be members of the fictious Team High Five they hit the streets to spread the word of high five safety and let people know of the potentially tragic consequences of a mis-timed high five. It seems a lot of people believed that you really can sustain life-threatening injuries high-fiving. You can read the full story of the Team High five comedy mission at kcimprov.com.

It's always good to hear about high five related happenings. It was also good to hear that High Five Me had helped someone in a small way - Scott from KC Improv told me that they used some of the information on High Five Me as material! It was also interesting to find out about a genuine high-five injury sustained by Terry Harper, a former baseball player
