I know that you really wanted him to come on here and post.

It's unfortunate because I would have loved it as well. When we were at Champps after that Friday Wolves-Bucks pre-season game, we were "talking" with him and watching NBA highlights and he was "writing" stuff to Bonk and I on napkins. However, his "writing" consisted of stuff like brand names, NBA team cities, and other easily identifiable words. For example, he would write "COKE" (aka the soda), "DEN", "HOUS", "BOS", "PAUL" (for the city St. Paul)", "LONDON", etc. Even stuff like that he would often write backwards, which leads me to think that he could possibly even be dyslexic. But, I doubt he's dyslexic since he's obviously illiterate.
Also, to communicate who the players are he would write down their jersey numbers and sometmes the city abbreviation for who they played for (if we couldn't guess them from the number and his "description."

It may seem like it's tough to interact with him, but Bonk and I have really gotten his mannerisms down quite well, and it's not as hard as you would think. He comes up with some very, very creative ways to describe things. It's pretty cool and always a fun time hanging with SILENT ABABU.
