Some friends and I went out to cheer on the Marathon runners on 4th Ave in Brooklyn, and decided that instead of just sticking our hands out for high fives, we'd put a cardboard hand on a long stick.

There was no real logic behind it and we didn't think it would be that big of a deal but the runners reacted to the hand on a stick like we were handing out jetpacks. They'd start laughing from several yards away, stop to take photos, and cut across lanes of other runners to jump up and slap it. We ended up being out there for hours because it was such an unexpectedly awesome time.
