Sign Language.

[Cringer]

These people who do sign language are amazing, and somewhat entertaining. Watching the local news which pops in every so often with hurricane reports (since it is going to hit us somewhat) and they are putting up a little box with a lady doing sign language while the weather guy talks. She does it so damn fast, and some of the things come across as kind of funny looking.

You are really doped up arn't you?

Not enough in my opinion.

Come on man, some of these signs for 'downhill' and other things I don't know are just kind of goofy looking. I admire the people because it has to be hard to learn and do that fast, but still....
:D

Why wouldn't your local news channel just put a text crawler with the information,
or closed captioning?

Because it's action packed! Fast paced! News developing super fast!

Actually I don't know. They do have some, but a lot of it is shelter info and stuff.

And the same two people are signing their asses off still this morning. This is like 14 hours these people have been going. Bet they are getting a nice check at the end of this.

Thank God this wasn't a Bill Engvall thread...

Guess what sign I am giving you now. I just checked my ASL dictionary and I can't find an entry for "rubbing one nipple with right index finger while licking palm of left-hand".

Sorry.

that means "get me a turkey pot pie, bitch"
