Can you really do sign language with only one hand? I mean, aren't their certain intricacies with the fingers that you're not able to pull off, or signs that require both?

It's like trying to make out without a tongue (only metaphor I could come up with in ten seconds), but it is possible, but very *puts hand palm outward, fingers up, smacks face by nose* -sign for frustration.

Learning to sign reminds me a lot of learning how I learned to play classical piano. I can't play all the chords, but I improvise and adapt so that the "song remains the same". Plus signing is like any language, there is room for adjustment.

But yeah, it is a challenge (which is ironically two "thumbs up" bumping together).

That's cool. I only know a couple of words in sign language, so you're already doing a whole lot better than I am. Currently I'm slowly trying to pick up Korean. I've gotten better, but I'm still in the basic stages.

Thanks man. I've always wanted to learn how to sign, and although it hasn't been easy, it's actually been fun at times. Mostly frustrating, but some times it can be fun.

Good luck with learning Korean, and when you become fluent in the language I'll fly you down to NC so you can tell me what my hair stylist is saying behind my back.

"We are going to buy our electricity from France"


Sad, but very true.

Can you read the alphabet yet? I found that to be the easiest part. And once you learn it, it's so simple that you won't ever forget it.

Yeah, the only issues I have with the alphabet are reading the w- forms of the vowels, but that's only because I haven't sat down and really tried to memorize all of those.

That's EXACTLY what happened here in Belgium. Buy our electricity from Suez France because those green fuckers (politicians) wanted to cut down the electricity coming from our nuclear power plants. Prices have gone up like you wouldn't believe. We now have the most expensive electricity in Europe mainland. Suez is mafia I tell you...

And our corrupt quasi non-existing government does nothing about it. I swear, Belgium must be the laughing stock of the world by now...

I'm sure Suez France must've paid a few corrupt spanish politicians a shitload of money to try and get this thing pushed through in your country too...

Incoming Duke freshman Austin Rivers has yet to play a minute in college basketball, but the No. 1 overall recruit (according to some rankings) already has a nickname ready to go when he takes the court for the Blue Devils.

Yesterday, Rivers tweeted that he has picked the number he will wear on his jersey next season at Duke and the nickname that will accompany it:

Wearing number 0 next year! My nick name is going to be subzero! Cause of number and because my moves freeze people, got ice in my veins!!

Nah, our politicians aren't smart enough, they are the ones bribing the power company
