It's dynamic, it's challenging, it's going to be the next worldwide-smash-hit-internet meme.
GRIPPING.
That's right. GRIPPING.
All the cool kids are doing it. Well, to be honest, it's just me at the moment. But my Dad thinks I'm cool - or at least, that's what he tells cab drivers.

| Totally cool. |
There are three simple rules of GRIPPING.
1). You MUST grip with both hands. This sorts out the men grippers from the boy grippers. You can't just hold onto a lamp post and take a photo of yourself with your other hand. Oh no, sir, that would be TOO easy. You've got to grip in pairs - or preferably wrangle a stranger into taking your picture.
2) You MUST adopt an intense look of concentration as you grip.
3) You MUST grip inanimate objects - no people or animals (unless they're fake animals, like Banana the Bullock, pictured above). And don't bother trying to convince your Mum to take a photo of yourself mid personal grope. It's not just a little perverted; it's also against the rules.
Apart from that - the world is yours to grip.
Here are some shots of me gripping on the replica ship Endeavour, while it was berthed in Gladstone last weekend.
