Yes, they don't like seeing it and find it difficult to perform whereas without batting an eye a man will make the sign for his dick or his rod or his Johnson.

One of the great regrets i have in life is never having learned sign language. My maternal grandparents are (were) deaf, and I only ever learned to spell things and say "cracker" and "candy" so I never really communicated with them

Isn't this in the liner notes from one of the Van Hagar albums CDs from the 80's? OU812 or For Ulawful Carnal Knowledge?

I know we don't consider women's b-ball a sport and all that, but this gets a green and nothing about OK State losing their head coach in a plane crash - the same OK State that lost 10 people in plane crash 10 years ago?

I know "thanks", "yes", "no", "house", "cow", and "llama". Even knowing just those few words helped immensely with a patient I had back in the day. It's really weird that as developmentally stunted as the girl was, she made such a connection with me based on 3 words (not much call for "cow" and "llama" in a hospital).

Actually, I don't know that I wouldn't REQUIRE my football players to take the sign language class.

It seems like that could be invaluable in a really loud stadium.

Cool fact: the football huddle was started at Gallaudet U. so that the opposing team would not see the Gallaudet players signing the play to each other.

For nonathletes in the class, being around players tested them on another level, said Jeanne Jensen, a former sign language student who graduated in June. "A lot of the people in the class grew up around only white people," she said.

All athletes are non-whites?

well i know yes and no, along with please and thank you and grandpa, grandma, mom, dad and whatnot, but not enough words to get to know them as people.

Not a Husky! I'm a Cougar. I went to a Ducks/Cougs game there and you A$$holes were spitting on my Girlfriend and throwing beer and the only reason I couldnt do anything is because we were outnumbered by about 25 people..

So again Duck Fans....FARK YOU!!!!

Jumping to a conclusion based on some classless fans (all teams have them, especially when booze is involved)...now that is class.

Do you hate all muslims too?

How bout all College football coaches. They are surely all child molesters

I will say though, the younger fans and the "new" fans are pretty annoying. They act like they play for the team and that the team being good somehow makes them better than other people. I can't stand "fans" like that.

"There is not as much nuance in sign language. "If you're ugly, you're ugly," he said. "There's no, 'She's all right,' like there is in English.""

This made me chuckle.


Also sign language is one of the better second languages you can pick up, if for no other reason it is pretty much the easiest communication you can teach your kids when they are still young, and it allows them to communicate a lot younger, so rather than failing to interpret screaming in crying they are able to communicate. Saves on headaches for the parent because you don't have to listen to your kid, and frustration for the kid because all they want is a farking blueberry.

And it's useful because at the end of life, anyone may end up having to learn the language.

/well, assuming technology doesn't improve so we all have bionic ears
//goddamn other countries having their own sign languages sucks...it would've been great if we just had universal sign language...then it would be the MOST useful language to learn

And that seems to be true for any team that gets good after a period of mediocrity. I recall in the Kurt Warner era, a bunch of super assholes with shiny Rams gear at the sports bars.

A little verbal abuse for the opposing team is par for the course. Spitting, violence and worse is the sign of a loser/douchbag/asshole.

No, Duck fans have been regarded as pretty classless, as a whole, for the last decade or more.

Hell, I'm happy to be a Beaver fan, because they generally DON'T act like that around Beaver fans, just a bunch of drunks screaming back and forth... but when Washington teams come to town, don't be surprised if you're hit with something thrown at you. The only question is: was it urine, feces, spit, or hopefully just a non-disgusting solid object that is not secreted from a body.

And it's not necessarily "younger" fans who are the problem with regard to violence.

Younger fans scream absurdities, but hell, many of the older fans with absolutely no ties to the school are also rather classless.

But THAT stuff, as you said, is par for the course... there just seem to be more of them with Oregon than, literally, any other Pac12 school. That's what happens when hype and advertising pushes the dynamic. Hell, look at what's happened to political discourse in this nation.

Dude, I went to an OSU/Coug game at Reser Stadium and was met with nothing but beers and fun in the tailgating section. The Beavers were the classiest fans I have met.

Maybe not all Duck fans are that way, but man were we met with nothing but hostility from the Duck fans.

Winning is pretty new at Oregon and they just don't know how to act when they're dominating everybody but the SEC.

The state of Oregon also doesn't have a pro football team so a lot of townies adopt the college sports teams. Undereducated, overintoxicated, a mob mentality and seeing the opposing team's colors were probably all contributing factors.

I don't really know how to react to a winning football program either. I grew up going to University of California games and then went to Vanderbilt. I can talk smack about Baseball though, just not to Florida or South Carolina.

/No spitting from this Commodore.

Yes, because you'd never see undereducated, overintoxicated fans at an SEC game.
