if there's anybody else that knows ASL, you'll recognize what he's saying and doing. It's an ABC story where you tell a story progressively using the sign alphabet. check it out: http://youtube.com/watch?v=SC23a548cjA W is my favorite one haha. i'll have to try that one out some time
hahaha. I know ASL...but I'm pretty sure I would have laughed my ass off anyways. (my mom thought it was quite funny also. )
I started learning for boredom's sake a few years ago. Signing has always looked like an artform to me. Plus I had a bad trip a couple of years ago about communication breakdown and the destruction of the world, and that pushed me into learning sign language and other forms of non-verbal communication.
wow. cool. yes, it is an artform. i can get lost in somebody signing fluently. it's also a great way to communicate with friends when nobody has any idea what you're talking about (COPS...teachers...authority figures). actually, i started when this doofus gave my girlfriend a card that had the ABC's on it and said 'I am deaf please buy this card for a dollar". pshhhh fake... anyways, after that i bought books and took classes. cool shit.
It was kinda funny and I know some sign language. I had to learn it because I took a vow of silence for a week and I needed to talk to my art teacher (who's class I was being silent for) and he knew sign language.
I use to have a stoner deaf friend when I was younger. I learned sign language & had no problems communicating with him. This kid was a huge stoner who got involved in dope, robbed a bank and is now doing 20 years in jail.
