11. Isn;t that a satanic symbol?
Is he a super delegate too? I thought(besides writing rock music) he spent his time at the GOP conventions passing out band aids with purple hearts on them.

14. ASL - American Sign Language.
The little finger up is 'I', index finger up, thumb out is 'L'.

It's "I love you".

Without the thumb, it's Devil Horns, celebrating the Dark Lord. The way W does it.

28. Her thumb is extended to make the "Y" of the "I love you" in sign language
Edited on Fri May-09-08 01:52 AM by merh
(or the thumb and index finger forms the "L")

True story, as a kid I remember the family gathered around the television to watch Elvis' live concert from Hawaii - during his show he gave the "i love you" sign to his fans and the cameras. My mother was so insulted, she said it was an evil sign, the horns of the devil or "bull shit" - she was from Texas, she knew what that hand sign meant. She made us turn the concert off.

That is what set me on my journey of discovery, I was determined to prove her wrong. I studied the AIL alphabet and some of the common signs, bought books and finally convinced her that Elvis was not the devil and had not cursed his fans.

It is a simple hand gesture/sign that means "i love you" - I have a lapel pin with that hand sign. ;)

nothing sinister at all :hi:

25. From Wiki re: Corna Hand sign.....
Superstition

When confronted with unfortunate events, or just when these are mentioned or suggested, a person wanting to avoid that fate could resort to the corna to ward off bad luck. It is a more vulgar equivalent of knocking on wood. Interestingly, superstitious ones can alternatively "touch iron" (tocca ferro) or touch his nose, which are not considered as vulgar alternatives, or grab their testicles (the left one with the right hand in Argentina, a country very influenced by the Italian culture), which is considered very vulgar, but is perhaps the most commonplace of the three. All of these gestures are meant to somehow conjure some supernatural power to protect the performer of the gesture.

29. exactly.
Now if Senator Obama did it with the thumb and index finger it would be "Hang Loose. A obvious throw back to his Hawaiian upbringing.
