Pariah Posted November 13, 2017 Report Share Posted November 13, 2017 Yeah, not helpful. Our school now has a full-time ASL teacher. I learned some sign language years ago and can remember just enough to say hello in the hallway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted November 13, 2017 Report Share Posted November 13, 2017 My first year in grad school I lived in a dorm, and one of the other grad students was in whatever discipline it is that studies neurodevelopment, and she'd worked in a school for the deaf and knew ASL. The sentence she taught us all was "My turtle is dead." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted November 13, 2017 Report Share Posted November 13, 2017 No idea. It was amusing, and it remains the only ASL I know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pariah Posted November 13, 2017 Report Share Posted November 13, 2017 I used to work with a guy who made it his mission in life to learn the phrase "No smoking allowed in the submarine" in as many languages as he could. He was up in the forties, if I recall correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted November 13, 2017 Report Share Posted November 13, 2017 Well, there's actually a good practical reason for that one, anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pariah Posted November 13, 2017 Report Share Posted November 13, 2017 Which is weird, considering that pretty much every submarine movie I've ever seen involves lots of people smoking like locomotives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted November 26, 2017 Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 "Hold [the python] while I clean his tank." No less improbable than the python being named Buckwheat Pancake, I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted November 26, 2017 Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 That's what my daughter named it. I do not really know why. The other snake is named Normal Corn, but I do know and understand where that came from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L. Marcus Posted November 26, 2017 Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 Better than Abnormal Corn? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted November 26, 2017 Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 That was the name on the box it came in. Normal color pattern Corn snake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
