Deaf Man's ASL Storytelling "Rabbit vs Turtle"

A turtle traveled across the world seeking to challenge the fastest animal in the world after defeating Cheetah in Egypt. Much to the rabbit's surprise, the turtle challenged him to a race.. with a a plot twist!
** Sorry, I meant to spell Cheetah instead of Cheetos in this clip!

Wow, I thought ASL is too hard to understand, but maybe your ASL is clearer, so I can understand almost everything what you was telling. However, I think ASL is a beautiful and interesting language. Enjoyed it. :)

[@DackVirnig]

Сергей Сергеев Thank you! :D

[@ronfenicle3890]

I always enjoy watching your ASL stories and I think you better quit eating cheetos because you spelled it instead of cheetah and your teeth and fingers looked orange. Just kidding and your story is awesome!

[@DackVirnig]

Ron Fenicle LOL! This just made me laugh so hard! I appreciate your support!

[@3982theiceman]

[@HopingforPower]

Dack Virnig , If I made a website to publicize and localize videos in ASL, would you give me permission to use your videos in full on that website? All credit of your videos will be given to you.

[@DackVirnig]

Travis McKinstry Go for it -- absolutely! :)

[@dianeguetterman1730]

[@zenxleq]

@@zxvasdf Sure.. just gimme 11 months and half.

[@RaSH12TRICK]

Hey, awesome video... Keep it up! just one thing, sound doesnt work. I hope you fix this problem its imposible to hear it. Bye.

[@DackVirnig]

susana sanchez adell I appreciate it! It is probably because there's no sound in this clip :-P

[@RaSH12TRICK]

thats kind of discriminative against people that can hear

[@fridofridolin]

susana sanchez adell Oh I'm so sorry that there's no sound in that video, aren't you sorry about all the videos on YT and every other website/tv-broadcasting etc. that doesn't have subtitles or "sign language interpreter bubble"? ;)

[@RaSH12TRICK]

hey its not my fault deaf people cant be bothered to learn my language. I can't beleive you're siding with them. if they want to be treated like normal people, they can start by speaking like normal people.

[@fridofridolin]

susana sanchez adell "deaf people cant be bothered to learn my language" - you say? There was NO SOUND in the clip, what does it have to do with learning your language? It's a sign language storytelling clip - how about YOU learning OUR language? We can't learn to hear, right ;) But it's nice to hear (pun intended) that you appreciated the video ;) Sign on! :P

[@chrisgomez1840]
