THE SIGNIFICANCE OF REALITY
Humor by Adrean Clark
Interpreter TV Makeovers
As the World Turns: Jamie anxiously awaits her RID test results.
Shamelessly flirting with the mailman for 6 months now hasn't made them arrive any sooner... (with thanks to Mary)
Most Extreme Assignments: See Deafblind interpreters working in the strangest places: Bungee jumping, parachuting, mountain climbing, and Basic Training. (submitted by David Bar-Tzur)
Interpreter Joe: When a gorgeous supermodel is introduced to 15 potential partners who are sign language interpreters,
she wonders why 80% of them are women.
(submitted by Faith Powell)
Terp Survivor: An oral interpreter, a cuer, An ASL interpreter, and an MCE interpreter on an All-Deaf island. How long can they survive together? Who will gang up on whom and kick someone off the island? (Submitted by David Bar-Tzar)
The Apprentice: Interpreters in an ITP program have to complete signing tasks. Those with the lowest points are eliminated from the show. The last interpreter who wins, receives FREE RID written/performance tests (by Mikey)
Magnum, TI (Tactile Interpreter) : Our macho tactile interpreter investigates for Deaf-Blind clients. Week after week in beautiful Hawaii, Magnum races around in his fancy car, increasing the quality of life of beautiful Deaf-Blind women, sometimes falling in love with them, but always staying professional. (by David Bar-Tzar)
Trading Spaces: This week, interpreters who barely know each other are forced to switch off during an intense interpreting assignment without a pre-assignment discussion. (By Faith Powell)
You gotta see this (interpreter) ! : K-12 interpreters that can't sign their way out of a paper bag are caught on tape. Can this terp find the right page in her dictionary for the sign she is searching for before the class is over or the student falls asleep? Hours of laughter for the whole family. (By David)
Voicing Fear Factor: Watch interpreters cringe as they voice for challenging Deaf people. Don't tell, but for added torture we have thrown in a few foreign sign languages and some hearing people that are just making it up as they go along.
Who will be left standing after hours of non-teamed voicing in hazardous environments? Tune in! (By David)
One Life to Live: Brooke takes the RID test. Does she pass or fail? Either way, she does it passionately. (Hot tip: What about that razor-jawed handsome two desks over? He's the proctor. A filthy rich one.)
X-File Terps: Intepreters must learn Alien Sign Languages to deal with their paranormal assignments. Some of them involve understanding sign languages that use 5 hands or fingerspelling with 12 fingers!
