thumbs
April 17, 2008 by j.
I found a set of books this evening from a while back, when I was teaching myself sign language. (I stopped learning it because the guy I was dating made me feel foolish for wanting to learn it.. my actual foolish decision was staying with him!) This got me to thinking.. for a deaf person, your hands are so important for communicating right? What if you were born without thumbs? Would that be the signer’s equivalent to speaking with a lisp? Or would you not be able to communicate at all? I suppose if you had no thumbs, a bigger problem would be that you wouldn’t be able to open jars or grasp a pencil…
Ah, the deep thoughts of spring!

squat
April 17, 2008 by j.
You know it’s a nice day out when just about everyone loses their head.
Kev, clinging to the side of a moving pickup truck: Ooooo! It’s like the squat team!
Tim, driving the moving pickup truck: The who?
Kev: The Squat Team. You know, THE SQUAT TEAM!!!
Tim: ….do you mean the SWAT team??
*sounds of screaming laughter and wailing children*
