ASL Laughs: "Who Won the Boat Race?"
Who won: Hearing or Cochlear Implant or Deaf oarsmen?
Hi friends!
Welcome to my ASL Vlog! ASL (American Sign Language) is the most beautiful language in the world!
Always Be Cool.................................................................
A Statement That Rings True!
A day when deaf people and their language are completely accepted -- no, more than that, truly welcomed -- as a part of the family of man, in which God created diversity not to oppress the minority who are different, but to enrich the lives of all.
-- Laurent Clerc
ASL Power!
Long Live ASL!

Cute. ;) Loved the classifer you used for oars rowing. Cool! Did you invent that joke? Haven't seen it before.
~ LaRonda
hand wave i love it
I am in the ninth grade and I wear a cochlear implant. your joke is funny but I feel a little uncomfortable because Deaf people like you look less of me.
Oh well.

I have been watching your stories and you keep getting better. This was "champ".
Michaela, I understand what you are saying. I have an idea: Make up a story where CI wins! There are advantages and disadvantages to everything, so think of what you can do that no one else can and remember that we all support you!
Beautiful! Classifiers, 5 parameters (Linguistics of ASL) and ASL blend together into one story! Keep it up!
Far out, ABC!
Fart out, John! Good one, and I heard this before, but it's little bit different.. Superb job!
Oops, I tried to say Far out, not fart out.. Please delete above of my comment.. LOL
LOL!!!! I like your story and very intresting!!!! Thumb up!!!!
Keep going your next vlog!!!! Smile
u made my day!
:)
You should add a problem for the third team. The drummer experiences horrible muscle spasms in his hands and arms from hitting the drum so fast and so hard. OR the drum sticks slip from his sweating hands. The Deaf team gets into trouble, too. No team wins. No winners! All of us including Micheala will feel even and equal! Ha ha!
For Michaela and Anonymous at 9:11 on Jan 15th: CI is something new so they always learn from mistake so next race, all CI oarsmen will wear headband to keep their CI devices on their head, LOL!
COOL ;) FAR-OUT , HUGE HAND WAVES
KEEP UP WITH UR ABC SMILE
Hey ABC,
I kiss fit you and ILY. SORRY,You should be response to Mike M, just kidding with you.
Thumbs up!!

So Funny!

I never heard of this but it was funny. I loved the way you signed for oars! Are you going to Calif. for blog/vlog awards convention? IF so, I wish you good luck!

Wow! your ASL story is superb!
If you want to meet more deaf people and see videos, I recommend you to
deafloves.com. This is a niche deaf
dating site and for deaf and HOH singles. Hundreds of new members daily join.
MAINSTREAM does not mean Cochlear Implanted. I must protest.
This has become a post-generational thing. Someone, who is grey/white-haired, would not often consider someone who can half-hear/half-deaf think is Cochlear implanted.
Otherwise, it's a delightful (and most true!) tale.
Good one!
You mean Canadian Deaf oarmen won the race! Just kidding.

ADORED the handshapes for the rowing boats!
Cool joke! At first, I assumed Deaf team would win b/c of drum that would blow hearing ppl's ears and CI ppl's brain out! That drum reminded me of Gally's loud drum at football field! :-)
Probably the best one yet for your story. Very good job on classifier story.
Sooo funny!! Awesome ASL! 1st time to see this joke! Double thumbs up! \m/
