Ok, I don't know much ASL. I'm late-deafened. English is my language,
Conceptually Accurate Signed English (CASE) is how I express that
language in sign. My sign skills are probably 4th grade level. ;-)
Here's my attempt at translating, literally:
--------------
giraffe his name ivan. by nancy romero. number(?) thirteen yesterday.
pause i car monorail. there south dakota wild animal park. we party,
mistake, see giraffe he named ivan there line collect shoes (?) red
polish(?)! your line owe money.
giraffe collect, shoes there searching, (?) (?) contact embarass boss
there simba station. boat, (?) pause can I (?), shoes (?). giraffe
finish put. boss said, ok, wonderful, take care. giraffe, (?) (?). fine,
pause, I (?), people only pay attention line (?).
work, hear me (?), (?) can. now, i (?), safe, wait. you two watch(?).
