The Snail and The Snail Counter-Move
The Snail is a staple of any Fistaroo-giver’s arsenal. It’s quick, it’s humorous, and it looks exactly like it’s namesake when done correctly. Just follow these easy steps, perhaps practice a few times, and you’ll be ready to snail your social opponent in a heartbeat!
