The Nerdiest bathrooms:

(What ASL I understand -- NB: or misunderstand): Guy is talking about how he likes to go traveling, and when he finds pictures of the nerdiest bathrooms, he collects pictures of them. He's got 8, and then he found a funny video the other day, and thought it would be cool to put everything into one video and share it -- in between the pictures and the video, he pauses to explain that it's about action video games that work through peeing into a urinal, and that's it's got English speaking) Anyway, knowing the taste of my circles, I figured this would inspire at least one Bwa-ha-ha:

On Tuesday, I posted this:

From the end of the second verse [eta: of Mystery Song]:

Reporting live from the frontline
We carry the torch for the ones who're scared to shine


The last verse:

One thing I know is for definite
Soul, body and mind, you got the same benefit
If you trust your heart, there ain't no way of losing it
Keep doing your thing, against all etiquette.
10, 9, 8, start the countdown
7, 6, 5, about to go down
4, 3, 2, 1, sing along now.



ETA #2: At first, I thought I'd just leave it there, and not burden you guys with me gushing on about a language I love but don't live in.

But thanks to [personal profile] trouble, I learned about a video (reported on by Huffington Post) by a couple of ignoramuses claiming to be covering a song in ASL -- but really, all they're doing is flailing their hands about in a stereotypical, audist, hateful way. And then, they're removing and blocking all comments by actual Deaf, Native ASL Signers who are calling them out on it. So I thought I'd put dedicate some of my space to real True-biz Sign Rapping, to thumb my nose at those fools.

The Answer to the riddle I posed (With video of the whole song) is below this cut )

As my mother would have phrased it: "If I could write like that (in a third language, no less), I wouldn't talk to anybody!"
