Comments on: Argentine Journal — Fathers & Sons http://wecue.net/2009/02/argentine-journal-fathers-sons/ Discussion on how to live, learn, and work using Cued Speech Fri, 25 Jun 2010 05:24:12 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Josh Libby http://wecue.net/2009/02/argentine-journal-fathers-sons/comment-page-1/#comment-412 Josh Libby Sat, 21 Mar 2009 17:21:53 +0000 http://wecue.net/2009/02/argentine-journal-fathers-sons/#comment-412 Duke, it is rare to see men in Cued Speech, big grown men who actually practice the system, and not just "learn it". Reading your post was gratifying. We should start a club. But then again the Supreme Court would come after us, but thats OK, bring 'em on! As for captioning... everytime I go over to someones house to watch college or pro basketball, or baseball, they always fumble with the remote trying to turn on the captioning when they realize I am not following whats being babbled on by the announcers. I actually prefer to watch basketball without captioning, they get in the way, and basketball is a language in itself, you understand the game, you dont need to hear what they are saying. In baseball, I do like the NESN announcers of Red Sox Nation (Jerry Remy and Don Orsillo, they are a class act) but when the Sox go into October I turn off the captioninng because 80% of the stuff Buck McCarver (FOX) says is just useless to me. Anyway, bottom line is, way to go -- I have a Dad who has never ever shied from cueing, and I'm glad Ben has that same experience.
