If only I were in Australia I'd give you a big hug, too. But one of those manly ones where we keep at least four feet of space between our privates and don't really touch much at all.
I know the type. Details instructions follow:
1) Two face each other, intending to hug.
2) Keeping bodies vertical, both men step toward each other until their bodies are as close as possible without being made to feel uncomfortable and gay (ie. approximately four feet).
3) Both men reach out their right hands and clasp them in a handshake. Warning: men with short arms may be forced to step closer than comfortable distance at this point.
4) While still shaking hands, both men twist their shoulder's to the right, so their left shoulders get closer.
5) Both reach out with their left hands and clap each other on the right shoulder.
6) Both men turn their faces sharply away from each other, avoiding eye contact and ensuring that their faces are not within a three feet of each other, as that would be really gay.
7) Heartfelt words are spoken at this point, which vary depending upon nationality. One example: Australia - "Yeah, good century mate, good one..."
