Posted by: sada at September 9, 2002 12:55 PMI'm working on mine in between chores. Thanks, sweetie!
Posted by: Cynthia at September 9, 2002 12:56 PMI haven't done one of these in a while, this one made me think and is probably longer than any I've done in the past. THANK YOU!!!
Oh, favorite hand gesture... I sign (ASL) so the "I Love You" hand. Its simple and says so much... plus I can draw it. So I can add it to my signature when I think it's appropriate.
Posted by: Sunidesus at September 9, 2002 1:02 PMsadly enough as people during these days talk about 9-11 as a tragedy and it is my birthday on that day ... :( anyway, here is my answers. i'm not an american, but i do care. God bless America!

Posted by: Peter at September 9, 2002 1:19 PMMine are up! God Bless the USA!
I'd have to agree with Laura, my fav...the peace sign. =)
Mission Completed Sir [salutes you]mines are up
Posted by: Romel at September 9, 2002 1:28 PMMy answers are done. Thanks for today's questions, Promo... it helps us reflect without the media spoiling. It's good to think.
Favorite hand gesture? Personally, I like the rock devil horns. But since there are tens of thousands of hand gestures that exist across all the cultures in the world, it's hard to choose one. But I think the nose thumb and eyelid pull are pretty funny.
Let me recommend the book Gestures by Desmond Morris (out of print, but easy to find at your local library). It's fascinating, to learn about all the gestures used around the world. Here's an excerpt from the book on the thumbs-up gesture... it means a lot more than you think in other countries.
Posted by: courtney at September 9, 2002 1:31 PMMine will be up very shortly...
Why the Jersey Salute of course. For those who do not know what it is, it's the middle finger which is most often seen while driving.
Posted by: dave at September 9, 2002 1:35 PMFave hand gesture? ermmm... ah... *bamf* - the motion of taking a large anime-style hammer and pounding someone over the head with it ^.^
Posted by: JamiJo at September 9, 2002 1:42 PMUp. Gesture? I wave my hands around a lot when I talk.
d.
Spirit Fingers!
Posted by: BlueSpirit at September 9, 2002 2:00 PMMy responses are posted. Favorite gesture is "okay." Unless I'm mad, and then it's something else.
Song related question... don't dream it's over, isn't it? Ah, a favorite from the 80s.
Posted by: Mariann at September 9, 2002 2:01 PMMy favorite gesture? The K-Company salute! Family joke.
I shall be up shortly.
Posted by: Shawn at September 9, 2002 2:01 PMMy favorite hand gesture is "I love you" in sign language. My husband and I always sign that to one another when we're in a crowded room. Kinda like a secret love message.
My mission is up.
Posted by: Bunny at September 9, 2002 2:02 PMI'm up, yo.
Posted by: Mikeintosh at September 9, 2002 2:12 PMUnpopular but posted at CasaChristy
You know, I thought about not doing the MM today, but when I saw the "comment question" I just knew I had to participate! Favorite hand gesture is the traditional "jerk off" motion, i.e. a fist jerking back and forth. I use it a lot.
Posted by: stennie at September 9, 2002 2:51 PMGot mine up.
Favorite hand gesture? hee. Let me get back to you on that one. :p
all done. and of course, my favorite gesture is the finger - the middle finger that is :)
Posted by: theresa at September 9, 2002 3:00 PMMine are up.
Hand gesture, hmm well I have developed in all my geekiness a cross between the vulcan live long and prosper sign and flipping the bird. I think I'm most fond of that since it sends conflicting messages and confuses people
Mine are up.
You wouldn't believe my favorite hand gesture if I told you... it's strange & hard to describe anyway. ;)
Posted by: Helquin at September 9, 2002 3:10 PMMy fave hand gesture is either the horns "rock on!!!" kinda thing or flipping someone off UK-style (reversed peace sign)
Aggressive? Moi? Nah...
Posted by: Ealasaid at September 9, 2002 3:48 PMMine are up. My archives aren't working right though. :o(

Posted by: Tammtamm at September 9, 2002 4:48 PMthey're up, and favorite hand guesture? ummmm... the finger... only because it's used often, mostly at my husband ;)
Posted by: discordia at September 9, 2002 5:04 PMMine are up and I've sent the ping. My favorite hand gesture? Well gee, I'm sitting at Gallaudet University right now! How about the ILY handshape?
Posted by: Meredith at September 9, 2002 5:08 PM;D
Posted by: r0se at September 9, 2002 5:31 PMFirst timer here. My fave gesture would have to be the "I Love You" sign. Me and my bf show it to each other all the time. :">

My favorite hand gesture is a wave (my son is 10 months old).
Posted by: Susan at September 9, 2002 6:03 PMQuestions going up!
Favorite hand gesture? Hmmm...my Queen Elizabeth/Miss America wave.
Mine are incomplete...but it's there. My fave hand gesture is the ASL sign for Mom. :)
Posted by: Hootress at September 9, 2002 6:22 PMI'm back! My favorite hand gesture is that little beckoning 'come here' finger.
Posted by: Stephanie at September 9, 2002 6:34 PMAnswers posted. Good job on the questions.
Posted by: ThatGuyDave at September 9, 2002 6:46 PMMy index and middle fingers, held together, and touching my lips.
Posted by: Vernieda at September 9, 2002 7:08 PMMine are up here
What's your favorite hand gesture?
Blowing a kiss.
Posted by: Adrienne at September 9, 2002 7:40 PMthey will be up real soon!
Favorite hand gesture...
probably the finger to finger tip kiss my children and I do together. I hold out my index finger and wiggle it around and around, signaling for them to do the same... and then once our fingers settle down, they meet tip to tip and kiss! The other gesture is when I want them to hold my hand, when we are in a crowd, or crossing a busy street... I hold up my hand, bend my fingers as if they become a mouth- making my hand become its own silly character... and she begins to whimper and whine, sometimes just out and out cries... until they take hold of it... then she smiles and you hear her going, "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH".
They always giggle. Its much better than screaming "I told you to hold my hand!!!!"
I've posted my answers. My favourite hand gesture is the blowing a kiss hand gesture ... especially coming from my daughter!
Posted by: Helena at September 9, 2002 7:46 PMMy favorite hand gesture is the two-fingered bird. Good questions, Promoguy.
Posted by: Jenna at September 9, 2002 8:41 PMIt has to be the middle finger. typical, i know.
Posted by: Jessica at September 9, 2002 8:59 PMMine is up.
Posted by: nikkiana at September 9, 2002 9:11 PMUp up and away!!! Oh, my favorite hand signal is the sign for "I love you". Cheesy, I know but my autistic son does it every time he leaves the house.
Posted by: Heather at September 9, 2002 9:34 PMThumbs up!
Posted by: Michelle at September 9, 2002 10:01 PMHad a guest do mine today, as I intend to answer these questions throughout the week.
Posted by: John Kenneth Fisher at September 9, 2002 10:27 PMThanks for the outlet to let some of these emotions out.
Favorite hand gesture is throwing a kiss!
Posted by: John at September 9, 2002 10:35 PMWhat's your favorite hand gesture?
Gotta go with the old hand over the head move.
Mine are up. My favorite hand gesture is the I Love You sign in sign language :-)

Posted by: Jessica Parker at September 10, 2002 1:28 AMWhile not quite the Monday Mission (the questions weren't laid out how I would have written about it, no offense, Promo), I did post my tale of that day, as seen from Times Square.
Posted by: Scott at September 10, 2002 6:29 AMNow.... about that hand gesture.. well, I rather much like this one

Hmm that did not come out right, look here for what I was trying to show here in American Sign language.
Posted by: Desiree at September 10, 2002 10:42 AMBetter late than never :)
Fav hand gesture...waving i guess. Never really think about it.
Posted by: Pete at September 10, 2002 12:43 PMAll done...and on tuesday as usual
Posted by: Lorelei Coburn at September 10, 2002 5:32 PMMine are up here late as usual.
My favourite hand sign has to be the two-fingered "V". I don't know whether that's a British thing or if the States have that too.
Posted by: theaardvark at September 10, 2002 6:00 PMIt's gotta be the beloved middle finger. Using a wanking motion is also effective
Posted by: Paul at September 10, 2002 6:11 PMMine are up albeit a day late.
BTW would love to have everyone check out my PromoGuy inspired project, the Weekday What If...
first edition can be found at http://www.christo914.com/blog/archives/00000089.htm Thanks!
I posted it today. Tommorrow will be a day of sadness for a lot of people.
