The human capacity for art through a multitude of media is astounding.

Yep, looks like you're the brightest bulb in the pack.

Nope. The mouthed word just looks like "fish." It is only a non-hearing person's approximation of the word being signed. The English word begins with FI and ends with SH. The meaning is "termination" or "end," but the deafie idiom is "No more . . . I'm done!"

Hilarious, Bottesini. But we have lots of very literal members. Get ready for posts advising on the medical dangers of bare feet on cold far-northern floor in December. Some will ask for documentation of sound-carrying qualities of hardwood. Also you'll get warned about pine-sap disasters...

If you find this shocking, don't play Thank you, Bottesini, 1. From the Latin, “amber-like.” 2. AC/DC (not the band). 3. The flow of water through pipes is a metaphor.

Hearies are always surprised at the abilities of deafies. " . . . shocked that deaf people go to bars since he thought we couldnt drive" is hilarious and casts doubts on the driver-safety of the individual who doesn't wonder at how hearie drunks get home from the bars they drive to, ha ha ha...

Ha ha ha, I saw a video where Sparky had a fight with another mascot, an eagle I think. It wasn't playful, and I think one or both were suspended for a while. Enthusiastic team spirit.

Sorry, Bebonang. It was a joke. Banjo doesn't like undue credit given to AGB, either.

This is another deaf idiom from when my sister and I were kids. I know it isn’t one we made up, because I’ve seen other deafies do it; however, it may be regional, as I haven’t seen it in Oregon. The single word ASL sign means, “I’m done,” “No more to be discussed,” “It’s all over.” You...

Sorry, I was interrupted while answering. I didn't recall Kit being accused of spying, but his untimely death over a tavern bill is well documented. Christopher Marlowe?

Good one, Bottesini! Beat[ing] [a] dead horse?

Oh, how she relishes typing those words! I'm stumped. W. H. Auden fits all the clues, including the accusation of spying, except his dad was a physician.

Okay, wild shot-in-the-dark time: Alan Nunn May was a British physicist who gave secrets (spied) for the Russians. Don't know if his father made clothing, but three hits out of four clues ain't bad.

Me, too. I couldn't get the last part, because I sign "boat" another way, but by jove, I think you've got it, Holmes!

My sister's birthday is February 2, Groundhog Day, so we siblings send her Groundhog Day cards instead of birthday cards. It ticks her off so much that it's become our family deafie holiday. Banjo's all-time favorate, best-loved historical figure EVER is Alexander Graham Bell, so I think...

Eastern Montana College Yellowjackets (now MSU-Billings) Idaho State University Bengals

Yep, those are the guys. They originated the slogan, "Rugby players--so tough enough to eat their dead." Your turn to entertain and educate.

No, this event was Donner-like. It involved Stella Maris College's rugby team from Montevideo, Uruguay, on its way to play a game in Santiago, Chile.

Oh, yeah? Well, my Sasquash in the Oregon woods can beat up yours from the Washington woods anytime!

Sorry for pointing out geography, but "America" is actually two huge continents, not a country. North and South America have always been populated by more native peoples than Europeans. The "America" most people mistakenly refer to is a popular misconception . . . just as "Indians" is a...
