The system of hand signals used by Emily and Buster Hanson. Buster, as you may know by now, is Emily Hanson's deaf dog. She created this sign language in order to talk to him. It is very fun to use and people like to learn it.
Emily: Boy, Buster is sure learning HSL fast.
Opal: What's HSL? I've never heard of it.
Emily: It's stands for Hanson Sign Language. It's how me and Buster talk.
(Emily slaps her leg) Emily: Hey Buster, come here!
Opal: Wow, he really knows what you're saying.
Buster: (looking at the two women as if they're crazy) Hey, where's my dinner?!

Intensely delicious pancakes originally made by Ralph Drabble. Used in the treatment of his wife, June's, intense depressions. Usually eaten after June has been very sad but also by other members of the family. Ralph always says "Pancakes make people happy!" They are impossible to resist. They are usually covered in white and dark chocolate and often served with syrup and butter. The effects do not last long but they are delicious. If you want something that will really get you un-sad, try Zebra Pancakes - remember, Ralph Drabble told you!
Ralph: You look a little sad, honeybunch. I know what'll get you going! How about some Zebra Pancakes?
June: Zebra Pancakes? What in the world are they?
Ralph: You've eaten these before. Remember those great pancakes I make you when you're sad. Those are Zebra Pancakes. (he starts making some) After all, pancakes make people happy! You can't resist these.
Beatrice: Zebra Pancakes?! Oh man, a Gunny Granny could be proud of those. See this? (she points to the referee shirt she's wearing) Now, if you're gonna call it a Zebra Pancake, you've got to be dressed as a zebra!
Ralph: Here, taste these! Sweet, isn't it? Even someone who isn't sad should eat my Zebra Pancakes.
Opal: Hello sweetie. Are you eating Zebra Pancakes? I want some, too. Earl almost made me cry today.
Ralph: Here, give these a try.
June: Gee, pancakes do make you happy! Even though the effects don't last long.
Earl: Whoah, she's right. These Zebra Pancakes are awesome! They'll make you a zippy zebra in no time. I'll take seconds! (they all take seconds)
Ralph: I told you so! Zebra Pancakes rule!
A love exercise created by Martha Halftrack. Done by hugging someone then letting go and hugging them again. The constant hug and release motion is also a chest exercise. It is called a Marty Melt because when Marty hugs you, you melt into her. She uses this on her husband, Amos, and her favorite grandson, Bryant Hollifield.
Amos: Oh no, the guys at the party we're talking bad smack about me. I'm gonna get them. After all, I am a B.G., commander of Camp Swampy.
Marty: Whoah, dear. Easy there. I got an exercise that will have you loving them again. Its a Marty Melt. Come here and hug me, but then let go. And when you hug me, I mean SQUEEZE!
Amos: Sure, but how would squeezing on you get the guys to love me? You don't hug them.
Marty: (laughs) Well, its one way I show you love. Come on, Amos, we've been married 53 years. I've loved since the day I met you. (she hugs him hard)
Amos: (returns the hug) Whoah! That's a power hug right there. This is one sweet exercise! Maybe I should tell the other guys.
Bryant: Hey, are you two up to something sweet? Are you getting mushy on him? Let me at it!
Marty: Here, dear. Its your turn. You haven't tried the Marty Melt yet. Now, give Grandma Marty a big hug and don't let go until I say.
Bryant: (hugs Marty) Wow! That's a real burner. My chest is stinging.
Marty: Well, that's a Marty Melt. It really massages your heart. You go all gooey when you get one of these. I love it!
Bryant: Sweet and awesome! I'm gonna have to show Gunny Granny, she'd love it! The Marty Melt is hot!

A back massage done by Ralph Drabble. Done by lying the receiver on their stomach and then stepping onto their back. Then asking them to arch up against your foot. It also helps if the back is walked on. A Drabble Stomp is one of the nicest ways to get a massage. It can be done if a Drabble Stand has not worked. So if you want to relax but your back wants to romp, soothe that sacrum with a Drabble Stomp!
Bryant: Hey guys, I need a Drabble Stomp, bad! My back hurts something crazy.
June: No problem, honey. Did you try a Drabble Stand?
Bryant: Yes, but it didn't work. (groans in pain) Oh boy, this is awful.
Ralph: Here, I'll Drabble Stomp you. (he stomps Bryant in the middle of his back) Now, stretch up against my foot. That's it, easy.
Bull: Hey, what's that? Is that some sort of weird massage? You know, my back's crazy hurting! How do you do this?
June: (saying as if she were a P.E. coach) Hit the deck! I'll show you how we do it. (she steps on Bull's back) Now, arch your back up against my foot. See? You 'stomp' your foot in the middle of the other person's back, and they arch up against your foot so that the back is stretched. That's how you do a Drabble Stomp.
Bull: Awesome! The guys at Apopka High would have loved this. I'll have to try it on some of my old boys sometime. Maybe Morris Middleton.
Ralph: Yeah, he'd love it. Drabble Stomps rule!
