I do not think the emperor is naked and the grapes are sour is the same thing at all!!!!!! Whether the emperor, or the grapes arein, or out, of ther fridge is, to my view, absolutely irrelevant - except possibly to the naked emperor....

Very Happy

(I've been trying for the past 10 minutes to post an animated image -- the sign for "idiot" -- but I can't make it work. So just go here:

http://commtechlab.msu.edu/sites/aslweb/browser.htm

Click on the "I", then find "Idiot" and click on that.)

Hmm, I am an idiot. For two reasons. 1) I followed the instructions to the letter. 2) In Chapter Five I was read that that sign is a powerful pick-up line and I've been signing it everywhere.

Goan git Slappy fer this.

It's worked great for me! Both directions -- guys asking me to teach 'em, me offering to teach 'em. ("No, the thumb needs to go right under there -- here, let me help you.") It's gotten to the point where now I get a little sheepish if I'm genuinely asked to teach someone. (My friend the stay-at-home dad asked me, and I've put him off -- just weird. I will eventually.)

That's a pretty cool site ther. I think it'd be easier fer me to learn from that site than from a person over the net.

Abduct is the same sign as body language for "steal" in Brazil.

Hee hee!

That gal is a little overenthusiastic with abbreviate, to be sure. You shouldn't hunch your shoulders quite so much -- it's more in the hands.

And unfortunately, that sign only refers to gender. ("What sex is the baby?") The sign you want is ... er, how do I describe it. Lesse if they have it, and if not, I'll tell you. (How'd you isolate the specific urls? I couldn't do that.)

Right-click the page in the middle & click properties. It'll show the URL for that specific page.

Ain't it? I lost it for a while, found it buried in my favorites. It's about the best one out there.

They don't have it -- I thought maybe under "intercourse."

OK, make two peace signs. Then slap 'em up against each other, thumb side in, horizontally. (One on top.)

I'm quite serious. Smile

There are variations, such as, er, Brazilian style. (Curve the peace signs, then have them more vertical, one behind the other.)

ASL is more subtle some times than others.

You get the URLs the same way as you do from pictures. Select which page in the frame, right click, and select properties.

I figured the gal was a bit enthusiastic about it, I saw some others that were a bit "dramatized" to my untrained eye.

And how do you know that wasn't the sex I wanted? Sigh, you misunderestimate me. Ise just wanna know how to ask my doctor what the sex of my wife's babies be.

Pssst, what's the other one? Is it like Jim Carrey's version?
