That certainly gets all the letters of the alphabet... :) We've done
the alphabet game on trips many times, finding each letter from A to Z
on signs and license plates and such... and then returning from Z to
A... Sometimes multiple times... it does help the car trip go a little
faster... ;)
Oh, back in those days when the kids weren't watching DVDs...
True... DVDs weren't even invented back then.... nor TVs(/DVD players)
for the vehicles... :) To this day, I still will do the alphabets,
even if I'm driving alone in the car... :)
There's a scene in the movie "Tapeheads", an old '80s flick starring
Tim Robbins and John Cusack as two guys who stumble into a career producing music videos. They're drinking in a bar and the bartender
says that they need to pass a sobriety test for him to serve them any more. He asks them to recite the alphabet backwards, skipping the
vowels, and signing the letters in ASL while doing it.
The actors do it.
I thought I'd never get served again if I had to do that!
I could do it.... ;) at least as long as I can still sign the
vowels.... :) Having read your message, I tried it... no problem at
all... except for figuring out whether or not to say the Y and the W
(which are sometimes vowels).... <G> I often sign the alphabet as I do
the game in the car.... along with manual spelling out the words on
signs, just for practice... :)
... Have you ever asked a question you weren't supposed to ask?
Of course.... :) Occasionally it even gets answered.... <G>
ttyl neb
... I'm on a different cutting edge.
