trghb t

yo :mrgreen:

oh darn that :P stupid firefox

Hi

at least you second :wink:

I tried to type something more then just first. :lol:

f*ck this!!!! i just dropped a bucket with like 2 liters of water on my bed -.- there’s not a smily that describes my feelings now :evil: aargh how the hell am i going to sleep now !?

ditto

What’s this video called on Youtube? It won’t load foreime reason.

Mrs. Marina, what video camera do you use? (besides the MacBook) :cool:

Oops I meant to say “for some reason”.

Lol! You’re weekend was deffinately better than mine. Anyways, got another word for you. “Lukewarm” Who was this luke guy, and why do we use his name in front of warm to make up the word “Lukewarm”?

Who can top that weekend? :shock:
My best weekend is coming up. Details to come!

Hey marina. could you tell me the origin of the word computer?
Thanks alot,
jubjub

Marina
Got to love the way you make your bed, just like my
boy (21) just whip it up to the head board and good enough.
You poor thing, you need some pictures for your place.
Maybe a wall of fans. People could send you their
pictures and you hang them all over one wall in you Apt.
Tabasco is the best anyone that likes Tabasco is OK by me.

Hi 100percentjacob, click on the FAQ menu at the top.

Too funny, Marina.  Anytime ‘best ever’ is used it can/should be fun.  I have a friend who has the habbit of saying “best ever” all the time, i.e. “Oh, that was the best steak ever…That was the best concert I’ve ever been to…Best weekend ever” , and in truth it’s contagious & endearing & fun. No way am I (can I!) say best weekend ever, there have been too many, and the best is still floating out there somewhere in the future.

Week end would mean you have a day job?
Is it something you can talk about?
KGB like secret hit-s maybe?
Hey you might like to try CRYSTAL pepper sauce too.

well that weekend was hotter than 2 girls standing in a tub of what looks like puke.

Thank you for sharing you harvesting something out of your garden. Love fresh herbs and veggies out of the garden.

This would be a good opportunity to ask for the origins of herb, “green thumb” and garden. :grin:

SWEET FEET! You’re teasing me girl! :grin:

Anyways, that kinda looks like my typical weekend. Except for the doing nails and vacuuming part. I sometimes pop in a movie or play video games, or go out for a walk or grab a bite to eat. I have never been much of a partygoer, go out clubbing, or anything.

Marina .. how come you don’t do a forum as well as the video threads?

Obviously, the thread associated with the video is the essence of your site … but a forum would be useful for related/tangential discussions that die because they don’t get lost in the thread or die when a new video turns up, etc . … and … a forum would be useful for announcements … and … erm … other stuff.

… just wondering.

.. ahem … :oops:

“die because they don’t get lost in the thread” -> “die because they get lost in the thread”

It a good thing some times to just move on.
turn the hose on the dogs as it were.

Now you have a water bed :lol: :lol: Sorry couldn’t resist that one Foxbow :wink:

I don’t see where there is a FAQ link. Please help me out I’m new to this site :lol:

I looks like first to me. :lol:

I was thinking of sending in a T-shirt with a picture of me and my username that she would wear during the video. That way we would be teacher’s pet for the whole duration of the video. Was there not several TV shows that did that?

Hey, you’re not giving up on Koba are you?

At the very top, next to Contact, there is Help/FAQ which is left of the search box.

Hi 100percentjacob, its Help / FAQ word right under the Co comment advertisement at the top of the page. :smile:
Mike.

Karl we both posted at the same time with almost the same info. :lol:

But Karl we would miss the nice outfits she wears to do teacher’s pet. :wink:

Hey Marina, thanks for all your precious help ! i’m just trying to figure out what can be the meaning of this word :

HONORI­FICABILI­TUDINI­TATIBUS

thanks for your reply

Word request: “Pull a few strings” as in to get ahead by doing favors. Not really a specific word but more like a phrase – keep up the good work.

I’m actuality looking into something like that for the glossary page.

hm. maybe more like the other way round? “get a hfw t-shirt with your username on it for just $19.90.” hotforshirts?

Dear Marina, you looked wonderful in your strapless blouse, and those other nice, colorful outfits during your weekend. I’m not too interested in the “College” movie. As an ROTC student, I wasn’t part of the “Fraternity System.” The Army had other work for us on weekends and summers.
For your homework, my best weekend ever was during a Signal Corps assignment to tour the high-tech movie and TV studios in Burbank. They had the latest and greatest in video and audio eledtronics, there! What was truly astounding was that the clerical staff in the major studios were all young, slender, talented, extremely beautiful young women! They knew how to type, take shorthand, manage paper, and they all could speak and act eloquently! They had perfect smiles and perfect figures and were happy to show this young Signal Corps soldier around. (Good thing I’d just got paid.) I remember a drive to a great dinner at Madame Wu’s Garden Restaurant in Santa Monica and a wonderful evening back in Burbank! I doubt if I now have the energy for another weekend as active as that!
Your dear student, seesixcm6

okay i was searching the web and i was looking for very interesting words , and i found this very long word , and i have no idea what it means , please answer me on youtube the word is , pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis
love madisonlovescaden

That reminded me to order more fromCrystal. I use the stuff by the gal. Pizza, pop corn, eggs, Bloody Marys,everything.

I had them send you a couple of smaller bottles to try too.

I would have to say my very best weekend ever was when my only daughter got married. I also gained another son. This was back in May of this year. :smile:
Mike

Thank you for your help. Apparently the web browser I am using (iPod Safari) doesn’t show that link. I just spent 10 minutes staring underneath the Co comment button and I tried every link I saw, but to no avail. :cry:

oh .. yeh .. i agree that the video threads should run their natural course.

I was thinking more about when there’s a spinoff that gets people talking .. but it gets lost within the long long thread.

as well as the video word topic, there are loads of topics in language that some of us might linger on in a forum, … or a place to hang about in that doesn’t get in the way of someone looking at the video word stuff.

… if you see what i mean.

i guess it’s about effort as much as anything else.

It’d mean a new set of forum software and the effort to set it up, and people to administer it.

A load of headaches, i guess.

I have a word for you to research
Othisisnotarealworditisjustanattempttolooksmart.
My third grade teacher gave it to us to look up.

… or .. maybe you’re right .. maybe there’s not enough energy to keep a single minded discussion going for more than a day or so.

Hell yeah Marina! You sure know how to make shit crack! :grin: Who needs to go out anyways when you have book right? :neutral:

You hit the nail on the head with that one. :mrgreen: Marina is already working 7 days a week on her lessons. Hence her latest Lesson Take a hint, I need a break video. :smile:

ok .. lets do this properly the Marina way by breaking it down and analyzing it …

Oth – ‘oth .. thoth .. egyptian god of writing
isis .. egyptian lady god of something or other
notare .. notary .. someone who witnesses signatures
alworditis … some kind of disease – fear of all words, perhaps
just .. merely
anatt … an ant or gnat, perhaps
emptto .. empty
loo .. toilet
ksm .. chasm
art .. art

It looks like it’s a word describing the fundamental chasm between the god-like ideals of the written form and the tiny ant-like expressions of those who are emtpy of art

They have forum software that I am looking into.. they haven’t updated it to work properly with my current upgraded website.. I was looking at it as a place to discuss Youtube technical issues with other YouTubers… and it might be good for you guys to continue your discussions.. but then I worry about it splitting everybody off into clicks. I liek the freshness that the new videos causes with the discussions.. I worry that BB’s are possibly passé.

but she has an elite set of slaves to do her bidding doesn’t she? .. am i right .. those dots round those posts are really chains, aren’t they?

I’m surprised she has to do any heavy lifting at all.

You should be ashamed .. standing round and watching poor li’l M struggling with all that hard work while y’all laff and point.

what are bbs?

besides, i want credit for that! ;P

Yah
She called and asked me to drop it.
It is a really embarrassing story.
She really does not want P.E.T.A mad at Her again.

Dear Marina,
I could watch you vaccum for hours :razz: My best weekend is similar to yours except theres less reading and more smoking of herbals haha

someone has a lot of time on their hands…

you forgot the crappy aspect, tho’…

is that why we call some people “loo-loo”?… :shock:

I agree on all counts. BBS ( Bulletin board system ) have seen their day and there are already way too many forums out there, most of which are not appealing except for forums with a very narrow subject matter .

This un-moderated freewheeling thread is fantastic. As you say, it keeps things fresh and it is almost as immediate as a chat room.
I’ve learned a ton from many of the posters here. I like it.

Hi 100percentjacob, since you can’t see the FAQ link, I pasted the FAQ answer to your question here:

What do you record and edit your videos with?
The earlier videos were recorded on my MacBook using iMovie and edited with Final Cut Pro. The later videos are recorded on a Sony Camcorder, but again, recorded directly to my MacBook and edited on Final Cut Pro.

I entered the contest if you guys want to vote for me :-)

I’m still voting on that, er hmmm, on that other one, ya know what I mean, which I thought was extremely brilliant. OK, here I go voting on this one. Gotta get 400+ votes really quick now. :grin:

blehn

Is that gravatar appropriate?

Marina, I could tell you, but then I’d have to kill you.

woah!! .. yeh . i agree .. this thread is exactly right. This video based thread should not be replaced.

My suggestion was not for a replacement, but an extension .. like a coffee bar where you can get settled.

I get the feeling there are (to oversimplify) two kinds of visitor ..
.. hit and run – who are drawn principally by the vid and react to it
.. loungers – who like to hang n stuff

I think the loungers (i.e. me!) would appreciate somewhere where it’s a little easier to continue a spin off discussion and not get lost in the turmoil of a very busy thread. If i’m the only one though, it’s going to be lonely in that forum.

However .. would something like that undermine the current format? .. I don’t think so, because a new vid would draw out anyone hanging in the cafe.

Would a cafe-like addon forum type thing get enough attention to survive? … dunno …

I don’t want to provide a convincing argument for something that might be damaging for the site. Alternatively, I would like to suggest something that might be helpful for the site. I don’t know which this is.

note .. anything i say should be taken with a pinch of salt because i’m just a baby in this site.

Wow that was a fun video to watch Marina. I love your tea pot. I broke mine. I think it was something about mixing gravity, glass and a hard floor are a bad combination. Now I’m stuck with making tea one cup at a time. :sad: Oh well, at least that cup will taste even better. :grin:
I’m envious of your patio garden. Must be nice to pick your tea leaves fresh in the morning. I have all my teas in various tins. I like to mix teas to have a different flavor every day.

I notice fluffy walked across your laptop. My sister’s cat Axle would do that. Some times a legible word would be typed.

Boy do I agree with you on those hard core parties. I find them very boring also. There are many dance clubs in Kirkland but I just can’t get interested in them. I call them meat markets. Thats the only purpose they serve. Your lazy day at home sound like fun and it didn’t cost you an extra dime. Oh on your perfect weekend, I hope you were not waken by your alarm clock.

My best ever weekend? I don’t have weekends. I work when I need to and take a day off when I can. I try to blend my weekends with my work weeks. I don’t care to follow a schedule that is set in stone. That way if I have to work on a Saturday or Sunday, it no big deal because I can make Monday or Tuesday a weekend. I even prefer to have Mondays off. Its quieter. As for your request, I think I might do a video.
I think everyone will like it. :grin:

yes, annuddermale

- thanks for noticing.

That took quite a lot of heavy duty research. I should have posted all my references too, shouldn’t I. Damn .. i’ve thrown them all now. .. Oh, well.

Wait, scratch that; there was one weekend when we were 19 and sailed to Catalina Island. We were total gentlemen & behaved with complete honor but still we drank all we brought, all we bought, and all we were given. Avalon, the Isthmus we lived to excess; and then, of course, there was the hat & the broken flip-flop. My friend’s dad saw one of the pictures & sold the boat 10 days later.

“Boy do I agree with you on those hard core parties. I find them very boring also.”

I fell asleep at a v. v. noisy hot sweaty thundering goth club … :oops: .. erm.. near kings cross station in london, it was (ages ago) – i still have my pass!!

Wow.. thanks Jacob.. I didn’t realize the help/faq didn’t show up and I’m on my iPhone ALL the time! Going to fix it right now!!

Now it comes… This was all a pitch? A gosh darn contest? How do we vote?

duh … what contest?

{feels thick}

OK, you are on your way. They views are racking up. You have 4 votes now and headed for beating 432 votes. :cool:

Click on the link below the video, register on the site and start voting.
I’ve got her off to a good start already. :smile:

He, He, He.
You can vote as many times as you want.
But your content was just slightly better than posted here.
Now I know why you were crying.

Marina, who are you taking to Vegas with you when you win?
Meeeee? :oops:
Just kidding. Just send me a picture of you beating the roulette wheel. I’ll have to tell you of my great weekend at Circus Circus when I won pretty big.

:shock:
but then I worry about it splitting everybody
off into clicks. Cliques

Cliques ; Small groups of …
Just keeping you on your toes.

Vote for your video? Why would I do anything like that? You think I would just drop everything and go vote for your video? Well I guess you got me figured out there. :razz: Well enjoy my vote. :D

I would like to request a word. My friend is having a baby soon and I was wondering who he and his wife were going to name as Godparents. Then I thought, “Hey I wonder why they are called Godparents?” HotForWords, can you investigate this?

Can you tell me the origin of the phrase with a lick and a promise? My mother used this phrase all the time when I was a kid.

Thanks,
Natona63

In 15 min you went from 4 votes to 13 and from 58 views to 84 views.
Vegas here we come. :grin:

Very funny take Mijj. Yea since you didn’t post any references I have to take all your analysis and file it in the round cabinet. Oh well, better luck next time. :mrgreen:

mijj
The little colored dots are like indicators of rank or status.
You are at level 1a-ss
no color box or colored dotted line
As you move up through the ranks,
Different color lines to colored boxes then to TA.
It’s the journey that makes you great.

Can I request “nerd”.
Apparently I am one and I feel I should know about the word..

BBS’s are way past their prime.
Great when computers first came out, but not now.
Not even this Milenium.

Pedantickarl, thank you for helping me out with that information. :wink:

Marina, thank youin advance for fixing that bug. :grin:

Is it just me but ever see buzzword and Marina at the same party.
I just saying, only one person can post inside a 2nd reply.

Nope, from the FAQ on that site:

Q: HOW MANY VOTES CAN I CAST A DAY?
A: You are allowed to vote up to 5 times per day for any video you wish.

Dang, I used up my daily allotment already. The first 5 votes were mine.

Looks like voting goes through to Aug 30.

It may not have been my best weekend ever, but the weekend of April 26 was certainly a weekend that stood out for me this year. I went up to Milford, Connecticut, to see a contemporary jazz concert that was hosted by one of my musician friends, Jay Rowe. I chronicled my experience on my blog a few days later:
http://mikechimeriblog.com/2008/04/29/sjfs-recap/

:roll: Like here :roll:

Oh, I thought those colored lines were only for the unruly and it was a means for Marina to keep a better eye on them, You know, keep em in check, don’t color or think outside the box. :mrgreen: :lol:

Ugh there are too many nominees for my best weekend ever!

oh .. of course :!: , that’s the “loo” that annuddermale pointed out was missing. d’oh

you got my vote :grin:

About 1/2 way down :shock:

roadrunrnch,

are you a level 1a-ss or a level 2a-ss? :) I’m guessing you’re a bigger a-ss than me – you’ve had more practice.

marina what do you get if you win :?:

nicely spotted, mr road.

I noticed the spurious apostrophe in “I worry that BB‘s are possibly passé” but i was skeered to mention it in case i was mobbed.

Ok I voted , now here comes the email slam with spam. :lol:

{gets worried}

I’m only being play-insulting, you understand!!! … i mean … {sweats} .. I hope you’re not taking it seriously!!

create an expendable email adr :smile:

James:

It’s super cool that you’re so involved on HFW site! It’s nice to see you joking around too :wink:

I noticed you asked Tokah to think about his gravatar
…and you were blowing a gasket about people changing language
…and get all bent about people’s opinions.

What’s the deal :?:
If someone’s actions don’t truly hurt you or others–instead of just making you mad or raise your eyebrows–then what’s the difference?

You don’t have to answer me, just think about it. :mrgreen:

they’re not passé, they never will be. something like a forum is more or less the core of internet communication. there a billions of forums out there. for a good reason.
this structure right here on this site is a forum structure. so … no, they are definitely not “past heir prime”. if they are — all wordpress sites are, too.

if they are “past their prime” and blablabla … how come there are gamer forums (this is weird, they’re the ones with the most up-to-date stuff, right?) … even the new york times or avril lavigne have a forum. how about youtube? what the hell do you think you’re doing on youtube when you leave a comment? guess what — you’re using a forum!

Yay it works!!!

Yikes, sorry to hear that, bro!! :mad:

You must have been having a GREAT weekend to do something like that :smile: What’s the story?

A quick read of the rules says 3 day 2 night stay in the presidential Suite at the Shara Hotel in Vegas for two, food, show tickets, airplane tickets and $5,000 cash for a total grand prize of $7,500.

mijj i know what your talking hard core parting lots trouble jail-hose you ask yourself why did i do that :?: :?:

Hi

i whould like to know where the words apples and pears came from ?

i know it some form of slang words for stairs just wondered where it came from thanks :smile:

i hope and pray marina wins :grin: :grin: will you take me to Vegas with you marina :lol: :lol: :lol:

wow! … [a tiger in water]

no particular reason for this … just because.

Marina,
Well that certainly looked like a great self-directed day… :wink:
I wonder about the show that made you cry.
You seem to have a thing about dogs. It must have been “Old Yeller”. It was about a old Yellow dog who did his duty(hence the name Yeller…he didn’t scream, it’s just a hick name for Yellow :lol: ) Or perhaps “Where the red fern grows”. It was a book, as well as a movie.

My last good weekend was recent. I went to a graduation for a friend who has a doctorate in psychology (He’s actually fun! Apparently psychologists only suck as when they drink out of straws), slept in the next day (sleeping in beats waking up w/ an alarm :smile: ). I ran on the beach and lifted weights. Finally, I got furnishings for my house. It’s nice to finally have a bed and a kitchen table. :mrgreen:

Cap’n Jack: try Dragon Well tea. It’s a Chinese tea that’s top quality…it’s like a better quality Oolong tea. Less bite, more tea-like goodness. :razz:

1a-ss no more I am a out cast. I am not ranked anymore.

My ranking has been revoked.
I am on thin ice now. My post don’t even show up on Her

Only low ranking ss can see and talk to me now. so if you

ps if you noticed I didn’t point out that she misspelled like too.
I can only push so much. >D

yeh … some of us just like to sit around with a nice cuppa an’ relapse.

I gotta say tho, those goths, when they do themselves up, sure do look incredibly amazin’ – but you really need tons and tons of high energy for those clubs … and that means filling yourself up with druggy-wuggies – otherwise you dont stand a chance of keeping pace.

For those who haven’t registered – voted, here is an image of the tally board of the top voted videos for the Best Weekend contest.
Marina is now in 5th position with 15 votes, with 1st position having 432 votes. The winner is chosen from top three voted-for videos.
http://i33.tinypic.com/6y1qfq.jpg

Actually, she now has 21 votes.

You can view the live stats here:

And she said she will be taking the TA at the time.
So work hard to be the TA good luck,
What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.

I’m glad that it is working for you… kewl :cool:

heyas :cool:

I can think of two great weekends I had.

First one is from about 9 months ago, when I went on a road trip from Brisbane to Melbourne, checking out some nice scenery along the way. After arriving at Melbourne, went to see the cricket Australia vs India Test Match, and plenty more sight-seeing and shopping afterwards :grin:

Second one made me feel just as tired :smile: I went to a party on friday night, went to a LAN Party from midday to midnight on saturday, then on sunday, I went to see an Aussie Rules Football match :grin:

Sleeping is always good as well, you have my vote Marina :mrgreen:

I just voted until it wouldn’t take any more votes, but it would keep taking the views. :cool:
Miss M have you ever thought of doing T-Shirts with HotForWords.com logo on them. Sell them and it would advertise your site. Just think people running around advertising your site all over the world. I did this for a t-shirt I had made up for the fire service with a colorful graphic on the back. I paid $15.00 for the shirt and graphic and charged $20.00 to resell. It went into selling sweat shirts after that. With HotForWords.com on the front left above the heart and a picture of you with big letters HotForWords.Com over your picture on the back. They would sell like hotcakes. The prices may be higher in California compared to NC. Just an idea.
Mike

your next best weekend will be when they give you grandson or a granddaughter is good when family gets along i am happy its going good for you :lol: :lol:

I can’t remember the best weekend I ever had, but my friends say I enjoyed myself immensely, and even stayed conscious after my 5th quart of tequila. Now if I could just explain the name “Roxanne” I found tattooed on my chest the Following Monday.

The last time I used a BB was when everything was DOS. I think Windows 3.0 had just came out. I don’t know if you were asking for suggestions or ideas, but to me this is the best way to go is to stick with a forum. Now I am giving away my age. :lol: :lol:

Marina, I found an interesting word over at
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=attentionwhore+barbie:
attentionwhore barbie. :razz:

My best weekend ever was when our newly adopted 5 year old got here from Romania just days before they shut down adoptions there and they haven’t opened them up again yet. He got out of an orphanage and we got a wonderful son who is a blessing. He was so brave and now he is a fan of yours, many years later. The world is both larger and smaller than we think. :)

I’d like to see that video for sure!

You knew that somebody was going post this video, right?
The Police – Roxanne

P.S. Is that vacuum cleaner good? What brand is it?

Thanks, Daniel. Yes it will be when we get a grand baby. The guy she married is a good man and I love him like a son. He treats her good and takes care of her. That’s all I can ask. :wink:
Mike

One request. Could you get me a CSI hat while your there.:lol:

[a cartoon for the delectation of word nerds]

Hey Marina,
My best weekend is usually just time spent with friends and family. Since my weekend is on Monday and Tuesday It starts by going out on Sunday night to play darts (cricket none of the 01 games) and drink. Monday is the day to catch up on sleep :wink: and bills :evil: . Tuesday is lunch with my Dad :grin:
A weekend without friends and family is not a fun one :sad: . I’ll end my homework with a butt load of smileys.
:mrgreen: :smile: :grin: :lol: :shock: :roll: :razz: :razz:
:mrgreen: Btw Alx I like your new gavatar. :mrgreen:

captainjack you are one lucky-man you and marina are going to vagas GATA BING CALA BOOM :lol: :lol:

Nice tour of the place, thanks. Neet & tidy (always). You can call me a freak, your tan is great (hope it’s not artificial) but you don’t film out side often enough.That little plantarium… with the wicked security (decorative) grating, if it’s big enough, would be a nice place to bang off a vid or too. I know, in keeping with the vampire thing… no long exposure to direct sunlight… enough outa me already, anybody else like outdoors stuff?
I’ll bet your best weekend vid. wouldn’t look a heck of a lot different from a best weekday vid. (not unlike mine) no complaints though.
Checked your stats. Y/T on videos watched :shock: more than just surfing :razz: I’m checking myself into a program for my youtube addiction… you know any good videos I could check out… to get some help.

Cool picture Mijj :cool:

:shock:

OMG .. what have i gotten myself into! … this culture is so complicated.

Are we in awe of the dotted lines people, or are we contemptuous of them (secretly)?

.. is there a revolution in the offing?

oh .. you mentioned a “TA” before .. wassat?

why doesn’t M ban people instead of forcing them into a ghost-like existence? .. is it because she’s cruel?

Is that it? .. she’s a terrifying, cruel mistress? … with a whip? {feels faint}

Prep for the next Jaws sequel.

BillyB have you tried ebaumsworld.com. The have vids and pics. Lot of funny stuff. :lol:

I second this idea :grin:
I would buy seven of them. One for each day. :grin:

Hi Marina,

This happened a while back.

My friend and I decided to have a celebration named “the good-life! weekend”.
We packed the icebox with King Crab legs, New York steaks, lemon/garlic-butter, a bottle of tequila, some melon liqueur, limes,lemons, and other accouterments
Went to a semi-local resort in the morning to play on first-class tennis courts (we’re not exactly “first-class”). A good time, a few cold ones, then drove 45 miles to a sunny beach town and booked room at a nice lakeside hotel. Headed out to the beach with ice cold bottle of tequila etc, played Frisbee and slowly got “hammered”. Being a little bit overheated by the hot sun, we left to the car to get our cooler/icebox (“and everything else”).

Mumbling and stumbling, we carry up the stuff and start getting supper cooking. We forgot the blender to make melon margaritas… so we just “chugged” the melon liqueur. We were having a “hay-day” on the balcony of the 5th floor, tunes playing, and all the rest.

All of a sudden, some guys are banging on our room door! Hmmm… wonder what they want? It was the fire department!

Outside on the balcony was our Hibachi charcoal BBQ creating this huge smoke show and our steaks burnt. It was windy out and smoke everywhere.
It hadn’t dawned on us that “you are not supposed to be using BBQ’s on hotel balconies!”. The heat cracked the cement surface of the balcony floor.
Oooops!

After things got settled/apologies, we ate the crab and “went on the town”.
Walking back from the nightclub after closing time, singing, we could barely stand up. In fact, we had bounced off a few store windows and cars along the way.
The cops stopped us and wanted to take us to the drunk tank. Our saving grace was that we were a half block away from our hotel.

As we got to the hotel, some guy in the parking lot was stealing a lady’s purse off of her arm. We pursued the guy, adrenaline now all pumped up, and tackled him. My friend, all dizzy, she puked on his head while had him pinned down. We gave the lady back her purse and she gave us $100.

The next day we went with our tent and camped out on the edge of another lake… no boozin’, mostly snoozin’.

Not all BB’s are passe’… but I’ve been called that, so now I gotta look up passe’. that’s french isn’t it?
When I go shopping, if the french side of the lable is facing out I won’t buy it, unless the picture is in french.
Oh good… just checked you weren’t talking about me while I was away.

Will another (new) addiction help me at this point?

It’s better than getting grease under your nails isn’t it :lol:

You don’t vacuum do you? That should be mans work. :wink: I do all of the vacuuming her at home. :smile: I have a Hoover self propelled. It pulls in forward and reverse. It pulls itself over the carpet with no effort at all. There is one catch though. I replaced all of my carpet with hard wood flooring except the bed rooms so I have only three rooms to vacuum. :lol:

Yep, with A Dyson even though certain people in this house fell over when they saw it was called “plastic steel” a very weird choice of words to describe a plastic vacuum cleaner but I do like it, mostly. It can be deadly on stairs, though, very imbalanced, worse than a Springer Spaniel we used to have when it comes to leaping on people unexpectedly or tipping over.

A Dyson is supposed to be the top of the line in vacuums. I like the bright colors they come in, plus it’s bagless not unlike the Hoover it still uses a bag to have to change.

It is a pretty decent vacuum. But the heavy old Electrolux was my favorite. :wink:

Oh that’s what those are for. :shock: I guess the do look like chains. I hear they are her boy toys. :mrgreen: She just drags them around to play with. She keeps them locked up in the other room. I hear them claw the door late at night. :shock: Kobe is the only one that has free rein around the house. :neutral:

Miss M does most of the work around here. Im a 98 pound weakling. I can’t even pick up Kobe. :oops:

Only so much work one can do being 1150 nautical miles away. Most of the time is spent on the commute just to bring her a cup of coffee in the morning which I’ve been slacking in the past weeks. :oops:

Oh I hear her cracking the cat of nine tails again. I have to go.. :wink:

That’s my job description, exactly, well today it was, up to my elbows in it… & the nice thing about having a business, is getting to fill in for the folks on holidays. So I’m posting from work. GTG home now & see if I’m still married. Odds are 50/50

Wish you luck at home ,it’s 12:06 here so I am going to be. See you later.

Mike

that’s a great vid! .. that’s the very same tiger, i bet … it’s soooo beautiful.

:shock: Wouldn’t want to hug it though.

And what did you do to make so many naughty miles?

yeh .. i gotta chime in on that passe thing …

i mean .. the whole web is saturated with public forums (fora?) .. here’s some in interesting looking ones that seem popular …

… (not suggesting there should be a forum like these here .. just .. you know … {does the french shruggy thing} … showin’ they can be useful.)

[limp lefty UK newspaper site: Guardian Unlimited]

[extreme right US rabble rousing site: Free Republic]

[english language pravda forum]

and .. just to throw it in the pot …

[phpBB forum]

- i think the pravda and phpBB ones have the most clear structure. … the other ones are too messy.

dear sweet marina!! would you investigate this word for me please? -YOGURT- thank you!!

Marina …

Having a day off is a smart move .. i think you should at the very least declare one day of your week to be a sabbath – where you’re not allowed to do any work for this site at all.

{whisper}speaking as a suckup, i’d be content if the vid appeared every 2 days.{/whisper}

Yah, these guy’s used to play with the big cats, but forgot what “wildlife” meant.
Not soooo beautiful. Adorable.

how about trimethylhydroxysilane. i overheard somebody say it today and i asked how to spell it.

Hi Jcr, it looks like Marina’s vacuum is a Hoover. You can see the red & white logo in the middle top of the vacuum. I have an older vacuum with a bag and I have an older bagless. I thought the bagless would be better. It isn’t. I prefer the ones with bags. I use them both. Even though they make more complicated bagless nowadays, I prefer the kiss simplicity and the ones with bags work great.

Speaking of Sabbath, I had requested the origins of that word. I’m sure it’s still in the queue. :grin:

When Marina does that video, then we can argue about controversial things like Black Sabbath, and what is the 7th day of rest. Check your calendar. Windows users, double click on your calendar. Saturday, the Sabbath is the 7th day, right? I think for the Europeans (and elsewhere?) the last day is Sunday? right?

OK, no fights until the video comes out. Ducks, and goes back to the corner…

… and seeing as M is having a break from words …

… here’s a (good) mime artist …

whats the meaning of ‘far out’ and ‘totally’

oh yeh .. good one!!

Hey mijj, wouldn’t it be ironic if Marina did the Sabbath video on the Sabbath? :lol: Of course, Sabbath is the day for the bath, no? Can we guess what the thumbnail will be? :mrgreen:

hot gorgeous is marina! argh im so frustrated by her attractive…ness… hehe i know that isnt a word. or is it.
shrug

:P

i love how you set up the camera shots to film your weekend, very well done! i should experiment with mine more but i guess im lazy.
:oops:

:mrgreen:

i meant how gorgeous, not hot gorgeous.
i guess the word hot was on my mind aswell, for a few reasons! hehe

:razz:

Guten Tag misscupcake. :grin:
I sent you a YT message about your Gravatar. Did you get it?

That’s fantastic!

I love staying at home all weekend, but most people call me lazy when I tell them that. Now I’ve got Marina backing me up! :)

not cruel? … :cry: … oh.

OMG MARINA I LOVE LOOKING AT UR SEXY FEET. i just want to lick them =) best video ever. can u send me emails? theone2443@gmail.com!

are people so week that they need it to end — but weakend might be different, oh well and spell on me. Best weekend ever is yet to come :roll:

I believe my best weekend (5 day weekend) was going to the strip club and got several lap dances. A day later I went to Michigan to visit my relatives. I went swimming, tubing, eating good meals, watching and shooting firecrackers and sitting outside on the pier watching the night sky and the view across the lake. :smile:

I admire the sentiment of your poetry and username. :wink:
“Я тебя люблю” (Marina)

This video may not convey the same sentiment (not sure?), but it was interesting to me nevertheless.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51Mk2CtOeNc

Much respect for Blake. Also Goethe and Schiller and others. I had dedicated a video to Marina with the words of Schiller.

My Respects….

yes i did :)
i will go reply now

……I was cleaning my desk,pc,monitors and stuff and then my instinct said there was a new video, so I set the bucket on my bed …..and then i bumped it over :neutral: set everything to dry and slept on the couch :lol:

I just knew you were going to say something abouth that !! lol, so…have you ever gotten an e mail ?:mrgreen: ted right?

Got your reply misscupcake :smile: Thank you.
You can add several emails to the gravatar site. You want to associate the icon with the email that you used for this HFW site.

If you run into problems, let me know. :smile:

best weekend ever…I can’t recall one that realy stands out…Going fishing with some friends, mountainbiking in the woods or go hunting with my grandfather are some of the things that would make my weekend great ,and I do them all the time…..
A party like those in your video would make my weekend misserable -.- bunch of retards.

Yayyyyy!!!!! You did it!!! :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin:

my best weekend was when my gravatar appeared.

LOOK AT MY GRAVATAR KARL!!!!!!!! <3

Hey foxbow15, are you familiar with El camino del Rey?
I know it’s not for mountain biking, but I thought of you when I saw this video. Bike it anyway; it’ll prep you later for the sky stuff. :mrgreen:

Let me know what you think of this video.

Unlike Alx I don’t mind the smiles :grin: :grin: :grin:

I wouldn’t call this the best weekend ever, but one weekend YEARS ago, two friends and I went on a road trip to Greatfalls Montana. My friend, Aaron’s, Dad worked at a radio station there. When we got there he was still at work so we decided to head up to Canada, because Aaron had never been out of the state before. Well when we arrived at the boarder we were stopped by custom agents. They told us to park and come with them.
Inside their offices we were each separated and interrogated on our buisness in the great country of Canada. Aaron was called in twice since both Scott (the other friend with us) said that the reason for crossing the boarder was because of his not being out of the state of Montana let alone the country ever in his 23 years of life.
Anyway long story short (sort of) after 2 hours there we left and went up the highway till we came across some railroad tracks, got out, did some stupid things, Scott almost died, and came back.
Funny thing we had no problem getting back into the U.S.
Not the best weekend, but it was fun.

nope, never heard of it

that doesn’t look real safe :shock: wth….He’s just walking there without any safety line.. :???: that’s just crazy… the other guy he came across looked like he was atached to that cable on the side, then it would be a pretty cool experience.

Do you know wy they build this walkway in the first place?

Great advice there from Duke.
Too many people are getting upset with others on this site. It’s wonderful that Marina has so many “big brothers” ready to leap in and defend her honour when they see a perceived insult; but can’t they see that it takes two to make a war?
The best response is to ignore them and they’ll go away when they don’t provoke a reaction.

At 3:05 AM Calif time, Marina has 501 views and 36 Votes. Ten of those votes are mine. Only votes count. Marina can vote for herself.

She is in 5th place. If 80 people register and vote 5 times, the alloted daily limit, then she will be in 1st place. The top 3 highest Voted get to go to the finals. From what I’ve seen of the other videos, Marina has it nailed.

Hi foxbow15, I love that video and music. What a thrill, and I’m scared of heights.

Here is the wiki on El camino del Rey
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caminito_del_Rey

When I was little my step mother made me vacuum the whole house every day. She was a clean freak. We even had plastic on our future to protect it from people sitting on it. Theres clean and theres excessive clean. Best way to keep a house clean is not to live in it. :roll: Anyways, The vacuum was heavy and it didn’t pick up 2#!t. I spent many years in vacuuming stores just to go home and vacuum some more. I just vacuumed my classroom yesterday. Im beginning to love it now. Once I get started I don’t want to stop. I like the self propelled ones. Very nice. I’ve always wanted to get one of those iRobot sweepers. :neutral:

I thought she was going to have that one company do it for her. You know that t-shirt she wore from someone she knew. I forgot which lesson it was mentioned on.

I think you mention that tea to me before. I forgot to stop by that new tea tasting shop in Seattle last time I was there. :neutral: Im sure they would have it. I need to get my tins refilled. Im getting low. It cost me about $200 dollars to refill my tins. :shock: I guess Im a bit excessive. I have to blame Maria (co-worker from my cruise ship days) in getting me started in intermediate tea drinking. :twisted: I was just using store bought herbal teas. Now I won’t touch the stuff. You don’t want to know how Lipton Tea is made. :shock: I have this large treasure chest I used to store my tea making stuff in. Maria used this old makeup case for her tea. Thats where I got the idea of using a treasure chest. So I guess Im becoming a tea snob as Maria puts it. Damn her! :mrgreen:

you mean THIS one?

Its not going to be one of those videos Jcr! :shock: Keep your skirt on. LOL. I have like a couple of dozen tape to go through to find the clips Im thinking about.

Im going where? With who? Doing what?How come Im always that last one to hear these things. :roll: :razz:

oh cool, it’s in spain ,tought it was somewhere in south america, If you haven’t got the song allready it’s Michael Darius – Magic of Politics/a> It sure would be a trill to walk that path, but i want to be strapped to that cable, not like this moron :mrgreen: looks like those rocks could break any second.

Oh yea so now you pass your responsibility to your son. I see how it works now. :mrgreen: Kind of like a boat. The two happiest days are the day you buy it and the day you sell it. It all makes sense now. :lol:

Im happy for you Mike. :grin: Congrats..

Best weekend ever? That’s difficult, as I’ve had more weekends than most other people here; so many to choose from.
There was a Christmas in the jungle, slap bang in the middle of Borneo, with lots of exotic Indonesian food and dancing Iban girls.
There was a weekend at a Thai Nature Reserve, where new bird species were appearing in my binoculars faster than I could look them up in my reference books.
There was a Fourth of July party on an ice floe north of Spitzbergen, alongside the research ship I was flying from, with a visit from two female polar bears and three cubs.
There was a couple of days, holed up with bad weather, in a remote hut in Greenland, with a party of teenage Eskimo girls. The snow melted on the roof during the night!

The weekend that started my wanderlust has to be a good candidate.
I was given the task of flying a young Formula 1 racing driver, later to become world champion, together with his girlfriend, from UK to Monaco, in the team boss’s helicopter, to take part in his first Formula 1 race. The trip involved several stops on the way for clearing customs and refuelling, and at each stop the two passengers would disappear for half an hour and return breathless and flushed of face. On one of the sectors, I taught him to fly the helicopter, which he picked up very quickly. Then he asked how many feet in a mile and asked me to climb to that height whilst he climbed into the back seat. The air must be thin at a mile high because the motion was quite erratic.
We arrived in Nice on the Thursday evening.
Friday I flew to Monaco and landed on the pier beside the team’s yacht and spent most of the day lounging on deck in the sun, eyeing up the topless tottie on the neighbouring yachts. This was interrupted only by a familiarisation flight with the Sécurité Civile helicopter, as I was to be the Ambulance standby pilot for the weekend, and a trip around the Principality for a certain well known female celebrity.
Saturday and Sunday were much the same, watching practise and the race from the after deck of the yacht.
It certainly gave me a taste for the sweet life and influenced me to buy a villa on the Riviera.
(Names have been omitted to protect the guilty and intrigue the innocent.)

However, the best weekend ever is yet to happen.
I shall pick up Marina at Marina Municipal Airport, California, and fly her in my private Dreamliner to BOB Airport on a pacific island. (Yes, it does exist. Look it up.)
Then we’ll board a helicopter to fly us to the helideck of my superyacht, moored at a remote atol. There I shall spend the weekend giving Marina her best weekend ever, pampering her and pandering to her every whim, cracking her crab claws, peeling her grapes, giving her back-rubs, applying her suntan oil and polishing her apples until she wriggles and squeals with ecstasy.

WTF?… What’s that noise? Oh damn! Bloody alarm clock again. :sad:

Alright, now the numbers are getting exciting. :smile:
99 million.
Looks like this is going to be Marina’s best weekend ever.
Topping the big 100 million.
What an achievement. :lol: :lol:

Ok I need this one for work. Can you please help me find information on the geneology on the origin of the last name Liddle?

I don’t want to get laid off :)

“They have forum software that I am looking into.. they haven’t updated it to work properly with my current upgraded website.. I was looking at it as a place to discuss Youtube technical issues with other YouTubers… and it might be good for you guys to continue your discussions.. but then I worry about it splitting everybody off into clicks. I liek the freshness that the new videos causes with the discussions.. I worry that BB’s are possibly passé.”

Oh well then I better stop. I was going to propose phpBB to you. I played around with it years ago. It has that WordPress feel to it when your working on it. Its powerful and it has a good price.
I was thinking the same thing as you about that it might split people off from the lessons and form Cliques. I was going to post my thoughts on this for Mijj but I decided what the heck do I know. I could be dead wrong on this. We have so many off topic discussions on the lessons anyways that might help clean up that kind of chatter from the lessons. Some people have mention to me that our chatter is clouding up the page. Like what Im doing right now. Still the comments on the lessons are like a home base page for contacting everyone. So I think it might work out. Also you could incorporate a ‘glossary’ to the forum. Maybe you could do a 90 trial and see if it works or hinders the users.

Oh my, I think we really screwed up a whole generation. :cry:
Beer drunks and having the girls walk in Mac and Cheeze in their underwear in a bathroom. :shock:
Marina hit it right, lame and boring. :cry:
Come on generation whatever, do something original and unique. :cool:
Oh we’re under 21 and drinking beer, we’re scofflaws and our GPA’s will suffer. :???:

Which brings up a word request for “Borish” as in borish behavior.
(As opposed to Boris as in Boris and Natasha, “Kill Moose and Squirell”)

P.S. Oh and I didn’t correct your typos. :neutral: I had started to correct them and adding my little [ed]s to them but then I stopped and removed them. I thought to myself, they are so cute. I think the little blemishes make your writing look sexy. :grin: What would Marilyn Monroe be without her birthmark on her face? Well ok, but you get my point. teheheh. :mrgreen:

There is something out of place in this video. :roll:
It’s HotForWords pushing a vacumn. :shock:
I’ve read her postings here and on other sites, she really is THAT intelligent and talented, almost geeky. :razz: :razz:
I would have assumed she would get her jolly’s by programming a Rhoomba and watching Kobe supervise it. :idea: :wink: :lol:

It wasn’t Marina pushing the vacuum cleaner … it was the vacuum cleaner leading her round by the hand.

Yes thats the one. Tnks FB. :)

Could u explain the etymology of 2 popular ‘Collection’ hobbies:

Oh god.. Not this again :sigh: I was messing around here. I actually have no problem with the gravatar.. And I would be a hippocrite t if i did

i tought your gravatar was a lettuce lol, after having a closer look it looks more like a recicle sign or something

I was looking around for a thumbnail of 2 girls with one cup (bad idea to ever type that in on the net) but I found one anyway. While I was looking through.. there was a picture of Marina how weird is that?

yay

I did a video called “2 girls 1 cup of Joe” and I show up in searches as a result.

A lot of my words show up near the top in Google searches.. WITH A PICTURE!

Google: antidisestablishmentarianism

or floccinaucinihilipilification to see what I am talking about :-)

My antidisestablishmentarianism video gets 20,000 video views a day, every single day.. and I made that video in November of 2007!!!

Ha! :!: They do! I suppose if you had a title of a made up word that sounded like it made sense like err…

Handelangshawfarrasoleobrinseliorachened

You would get loads of people coming to your channel. Thinking ooh. Whats that mean.. But really it means nothing

Ah Ah, Marina, I noticed that a part of your best weekend ever is to go to bed at 04 : 25 in the afternoon.
Damn, it is so early !

Marina. You know that bit on the side of your page for cocomment saying make your teacher look like a rockstar.. I have made you look a rockstar.. Or a goth. whichever you prefer.. (sorry for the bad editing I dont have much time) Here is your photo http://img32.picoodle.com/data/img32/3/8/22/f_MARINAm_dd0c849.jpg

She now has 640 views and 59 votes. I voted all I could to get it to that. :wink:

You know Karl I never really thought of it that way. The week should start on Monday.

Didn’t notice i typed “arrasole” :oops:

i think sabbath is actually saturday. or was it monday? i don’t recall, but it was either one of them.

ah, sorry, you stated that in your comment, my bad. yeah, well, it depends on the calendar you’re looking at, doesn’t it. but that shouldn’t change the fact that it is actually saturday.

I have a blue box!!

four postings, five smileys. that’s not too bad compared to her earlier postings. oh well, whatever makes you happy …

Hi Cap, She has 60 votes now and moved up to 4th place. Great!! Just 19 more votes and she’ll be third and qualifies for the finals. I won’t be able to vote until after 9 PM Calif time (East Coast midnight a new day). The contest goes by East Coast time.

Bedankt vriend for that link!! I love it. Marina might be able to use it also.

I would like to add the letter “Z” to your “Words Already Done List” … How about “Zombie”… I would love to know, please, where the word first showed up in history and why also, what does it really mean or is it just as simple as a re-animated human corpse that feeds on brains…LOL! THANKS!

WORD REQUEST – ZOMBIE

Hi aLx, yes Sabbath is Saturday and I think Marina could do a great video on that. The Seventh-day Adventists, which there are many here in my area, observe the Sabbath on Saturday. They observe it strictly. No computer meetings are held on Saturday.

The Sabbath is Saturday in Judaism.

In Catholicism it’s Sunday, and the Catholic Church says that it changed the Sabbath to Sunday because Christ rose from the dead on Sunday, although this change is not contained in the Bible anywhere.

Some Christian denominations observe Sabbath on Saturday (I think the Seventh Day Adventists are an example).

There is a lot of difference of opinion on the matter in Christian circles, because the Bible isn’t exactly clear on whether the Sabbath “must” be on Saturday, or whether it can be just any designated day. Some denominations are adamant about their choice of Sabbath and claim that it’s a big problem if one doesn’t subscribe to their view.

My own pet theory on the matter is that Christianity began as a Jewish sect, with most early Christians having been Jews and therefore they continued the Saturday tradition early on. As the religion grew, however, more and more Christians were living in the areas where traditional Jews resided, and hence there was competition for use of the temples on Saturday. Christianity, early on, did not have “churches” but as Jewish Christians they would be able to worship in the temples. Antipathy between traditional Jews and the newer but growing sect of Jewish Christians grew out of this, and they ultimately couldn’t be there at the same time, so they switched to Sunday because the temples were empty of traditional Jews.

That’s my own, unsupported, completely made up theory, but my experience tells me that practicalities more often than not determine what people do. And, the Bible is not clear that Christians should worship on Sundays and they didn’t originally worship on Sundays. So, there must have been some motivating force that caused them to change in the late 1st century or 2d century to a different day.

And, it seems to me odd that Muslims picked Friday…. I wonder when and where that practice first developed…. Islam is a Biblical religion and follows the Old Testament, so they have to keep some sort of Sabbath too. Could it be, that when the nascent Islamic religion took hold, they needed a day of worship when they wouldn’t butt heads against Jews or Christians — hence, Friday?

no problem my Friend :mrgreen:

bbPress — code is poetry.

Easy integration with your blog

WordPress and bbPress are siblings, and they get along together a lot better than you and your brother did when you were kids!

I was once friends with an orthodox hasidic Jew who told me about his Sabbath, which of course is from Friday sundown to Saturday sundown. He had to be home before sundown on Friday, or it was a major problem with God. No work whatsoever could be done, which included everything involving labor – food pre-cooked, toilet paper pre-ripped, and no bathing or anything else – religious stuff only. No fires could be lit, so no incandescent bulbs and no driving of a car (because an internal combustion engine involves lighting small fires in the engine).

aLx’s dream weekend is one involving clubbing smilies like baby seals.

…and does it have any relation to yogi or yoga?

I am interested in knowing more about the word “celebrity”. I have also been curious to know whether or not American’s are more star-struck than other countries. Do other countries have celebrities? Do they see American celebrities as their celebrities?

My prediction is still on for Sunday afternoon plus or minus a few hours.

Dear Teacher,
What is the origin of Puddin’ ‘n Tain, as in, “My name is Puddin’ ‘n Tain, ask me again and I’ll tell you the same.”

Glad I found your site! Always perplexed by origin of words…so…

PERPLEX

Cat o’ Nine Tails

I second that.. I requested it a while back

no. my dream weekend is one involving julia bond, christina ricci, noam chomsky, and vladimir putin. now, don’t ask me how all this goes together, but that’d be one hell of a weekend. it’s all in there: pr0n, art, linguistics, and politics.

I know this might stir up a pot load of you know what, but we need to rally the troops here to vote. Here goes. :smile:

“Im beginning to love it now. Once I get started I don’t want to stop.”
I hate vacuuming but i also can’t stop after i started :mrgreen: realy weird,at least for my room that is, if i have to do the living room i’m done real quikly…… :???:

VOTE ! don’t forget to vote for Marina on the best week end ever. If you have excellent. If you haven’t please do. Lets send our Teacher on a much needed vacation. She has done a lot for us so let us give something back to her.

If you don’t want to then no one will know and there is no problem.

I just can’t believe that Marina has got all you guys talking about the relative merits of different vacuum cleaners!
You’ll all be discussing Pampers next. :lol:
BTW, she just jumped eight places from 26 to 18 on the days most viewed pages. (I might have had something to do with it :wink: )

Mrs. Jcr said she used to have an Electrolux vacuum. I can remember when they were so expensive you would have to make payments on them. When I worked at Sears part time we would go and repo Electoluxes that people were behind payments on. I don’t know if the Ekectolux company still exists.

When I was 16 years old my first girl friend and I were kissing passionately. Afterwards on our way home from the double date, I told my friend about the kiss with her tongue attacking mine. I was pleasantly surprised, but I had never heard of this. My friend laughed all the way home and told me that was a French Kiss. What is the origin of the name of this kiss, and in Russia, do people call this a French Kiss?

Hi Jack, I watched the Love video again, but M didn’t say anything about having the lady make her any shirts. I looked at thee shirt selection and there were not any HFWs tees. I thank you and Foxbow for the help. :smile:

Will have to watch the video again. :twisted: Darn.
I don’t think she was wearing Pampers.
Nope, no Pampers. :evil:
And I checked out the bottom side real well, could bounce coins off it. :cool: :cool: :cool:
Kobe wasn’t even wearing any Daper Diapers.

Yes, that darn skaters video knocked Marina back to 5th place. We need at least 6 more… ohhhh, ohhh… 10 more votes, those skaters just jumped more votes. Grrrrr…. More Marina voters….

If you’re in that kind of a mood, go check out the floccinaucinihilipilification video again.

Also, Marina can also vote for herself…. :grin:

On it. :smile:

Try Mailinator.com

Nope, no pampers there ether. :lol:

Thanks for the mailinator Bob… :wink:

no i havent yet. some imposter tried to pretend she was marina tho by sending me an email. i want the real marina! her feet are fine!

so are mine. want a pic? i promise you won’t see a difference from underneath.

pampers is a name brand of diapers. the subject of diapers could include infant to adult diapers. as well as the debate regarding cloth or disposable. we use cloth on our children. well, you started it.

um… she looks like a clown.

HOW DID ALX POST A REPLY TO A REPLY?? I thought only marina could do it (thats what i asked for a while back btw)

actually … kinda like a goth, emo, clown, and geisha rolled into one. uh. yeah.

cool

the man/woman ratio is wrong. you need one more woman, at least.

I think you meant to say 3rd level reply? Everyone can reply to a reply, just only 2 levels in. aLx is special don’t you know. He’s been on here a long time being productive. :smile:

yeah that’s wat he(I) :???: ment

umm, it wasn’t my intention to meet them all at once … but, okay … hm. let’s take music in there … katie melua? kerli?

thats better, now invite me.

Hey aLx, all good choices. I wasn’t familiar with Kerli and I’m watching her video now. Good stuff…

wet dream

ah, right, the anthropology dept. right. you’re invited. hey! you don’t wanna just flirt with katie melua or something, huh?

karl, yeah, you know … good-looking women make good music. ;)

Fails to give me Coulrophobia, though.

At my age that would be something to be proud of.

Sounds like a good plan! I just moved into my place and I’ve been sleeping on the couch until my bed is all ready…it’s not the MOST comfortable, but it beats the floor EVERY day :!:

Yeah, I don’t think I’ve ever told you about it BUT great minds think alike :smile: Actually, people at a Chinese tea farm recommended Dragon Well to me, so you know it has to be good.

What’s this about blaming a coworker:shock: Surely you’re not going to blame your own tea-snobbishness
(Pardonne-moi…Connoisseur wisdom & preferences :grin: )
on an innocent bystander who merely exposed you to the tangy zip of great tea :lol:

How DO store-bought teas get made :?: Do tell :mrgreen:

European good-looking women, that is – mostly . My music ratio is about 100 European tracks compared to one American track.

What do you think of the group Hella Donna? They are south east of you. I also love Milk & Honey and hundreds of others in Europe.

When your gravatar appeared? You mean like a real cupcake at your PO Box? Just curious, because I see a cupcake gravatar with your name at this vvvveeerrrrryyyy moment :lol:

Pimpopodophilia, this page for you http://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/Foot+Fetish

james your are relatively new here and thus you may not be aware of all that is aLx. i shall explain. he has secret powers bestowed unto him by the insane smiley totem that he now has as his avatar. by chanting the mystical word, “fuck!” he performs amazing linguistic feats, lights cigarettes and warms coffee instantly, replies ad infinitum, and shoots mind bullets. beware for if you find yourself in his shadow, your fucked.

now james if you want powers like him you’ll have to serve as his side kick for sometime and learn his secrets. your new name shall be, “fucky”.

fuck off! lol

I took a look at that bbPress you suggested. I think it could be the best solution for integrating into HFW. Tnks aLx.

Sorry for being a bit late Marina. :cry: But I think i may have found you a winner with the Best Weekend Ever. Well, I’d say its like the Best/Craziest Weekend Ever. If I remember correctly.. It all started after prom on Friday…..

Saturday: I woke up with my date and other friends in the hotel where we were staying at hungover (like your video) like there was no tomorrow only to notice that it was Mothers Day! I got a call from my Mom saying to go meet at this restaurant to celebrate for breakfast because I promised her that I would pay for breakfast. I was dressing up in a hurry to get there since I was being late already so I left my friends and date without saying a word. When I got to the restaurant everyone was there but I felt like I was missing something…After we all ate, I noticed the thing I was missing was my wallet. :oops: In panic, I quickly called my prom date for some advice. It just so happened that her brother was working there so he saved my life! :mrgreen: My mom then announced that she was going to buy my car I was longing for since she was in a good mood. :mrgreen: While I was driving home in my new car, I spotted my friend at the park near my house looking depressed. He was sad since his birthday was tomorrow and couldn’t get alcohol for his party. That’s when Sunday starts…

Sunday: I slept over my friends house on Saturday to make him feel better (No Homo) since I was going to help him. On that same day, I heard it was this other freshman guy’s birthday who goes to my school so we decided to crash it, freak on some random girls, and take some drinks. We did it. A bit similar to the movie Superbad. My friend’s party ended up to be voted as “Best Party” in the yearbook also. Also, while I was driving to a local 7Eleven, I found an unscratched scratch card on the floor. I ended up winning a good $30 dollars that night as well. Finally, after all of the dancing, drinking, games, we all ended up passing out on my friends living room floor to wake up the next day with a hangover to graduation practice.

I will remember that weekend the rest of my life. Please choose me. I wish I took some videos but I do have some pictures though. Hit me up if you want to see.

Thanks Marina!

(We should party sometime when I slide through L.A :wink: )

Scary. haha

I can’t take watching those kinds of nasty videos

i like sexy feet only

i cringe when i see wild animals locked up and trained for our “entertainment”.

{destroys all circuses and zoos and sets animals free to wander the freeways and city streets}

hehe, I bet your wife reads this… and you hear “you never do all this for me anymore”.
Oh forgot, she’s asian, how good do you have it Bob. With your wife dressing you & doing your pedicures etc. That still happenin’?

You surprise me… often.

On Sunday night, While traveling back to Vancouver Island (home), the captain of the ferrieboat announced to the passengers that a pod of killer whales could be seen off the port side of the bow (left side in front). Looked pretty much like the vid. Great to see & living where I do, don’t have to go far to interact with the wildlife. The deer wander into our yards & eat pretty much everything in the garden.

Марина, I’d like to get the name of the song playing in the background (i.e., the piano piece), including the artist.

*rolleyes* girls …

yeah, all three of them.

i third the zombie request. and why do they always eat brains. is itbecause theyre a bit… dumb?

well, traditionally, zombies are made out to seem unintelligent. they only care about surviving, so they only wanna eat.

in resident evil, theyre described as ‘only having the most basic of needs… the need to feed.’

i find it interesting that the need to nourish oneself is considered the most basic need. (in that movie anyways)

when in reality, humans have more basic needs programmed inside us. the need to nourish ourselves, and the need to reproduce, and the need to protect our offspring..etc

then we go further and become materialistic, ‘needing’ cell phones, ‘needing’ big houses, expensive clothing, etc.

:shock: why did i type so much about that nonsense.. LOL

summary:
word request = zombie

:mrgreen:

Hey Swampwiz. I tried to look through the music she uses now, it’s listed under the little music notes at the top of the page between “Downloads and TA / Pet” and under the “enter your e mail address” box just to the right at the middle top is another musical note that lists music she uses. Marina also uses music from Ronald Jenkees.Com. Listen to those and see if you like any of them. If you don’t find what you want get up with Captain Jack or me and we will see if we can find it if Miss M doesn’t answer you first. :smile:

We did too Buzz. Good advice for those expecting.

I open up a browser and get 2 pictures of Marina inside 1 window. Amazing …!

You Are Officially On Top Marina.

Took me about 18 accounts = 90 votes. :razz: :razz:

Ehh what the hell. I’ll keep going.

Everyone else should too.

500!

I was once called the best teacher ever. Of course, a first grader doesn’t have a lot of past teachers with whom I can be compared…..

That is a great compliment, especially from a child student and I’m sure it was meant–children are so honest.

Capman911,
Congratulations and Best Wishes to the new family.

Hello David,
Funny story! Puking on the guys head must’ve been the same as tasering the guy- I’ll bet he went into shock. Unconventional peace officers need unconventional weapons.

and ghoul

I made it up on my computer.. I’ll post it in the music section soon.

Thanks Warren. It was a new meaning to “a tasty surprise!” LOL

lol agreed, best weekend of all time!

Marina,

Shhhhh!
By publishing this lesson you may have violated the contest rules as well. :cry: :cry:

Each registrant on that website can vote 5 times a day.

Hey David,
You were mentioned in the Best Weekend Ever Pt2 !
:cool:

Hey, Marina, what was the horror movie you were watching on your weekend? And, should you call your video “Marina’s Wild Weekend”?

Now that I read this, I have good reason to be intimidated. My parents paid for 8 years of piano lessons with two years of music theory(for which I am grateful). All I end up with is good hands for auto repair & some ability to read & play music, with a minor amount of improv. I have & am thankfull for an appreciation of music & what goes into making it work, to convey ideas & emotion etc. No way… you didn’t just fling this little jem together, just like that, all cutesy & stuff… It’s brilliant for this little video… you aren’t human, are you?
Reminds me of Cinnamon Sun, which also reminds me, don’t be afraid to sing again in a vid, liked it.
You are human, you dance like my daughter, S N M.

Is your request for “boorish,” by chance?

Teacher, Yes your hot, but what about that skinny plant you have by your bed! Are you pickin the leafs and smokin them, HAHA!! No really whatsup with it?
PS – how bout “whatsup” is that a word? : :wink:

:shock: omg……that was my weekend…..except i didnt look that good..(minus the short shorts and the chest) :grin:

hey, where you been?

Lets see….my “Best Weekend Ever” consists of me getting paid. Then inviting over a couple of friends, watching TV, playing Video Games, and Munching on some food. Yep, that’s about it! Well….sorta….I have a few others…but they require some Vodka….

Miss Orlova,

I have yet to live a best weekend ever.

They always seemed to start at the end of a long week and then on Sunday I still had not done my homework. And now I don’t have a weekend because at work schedules change all the time. I’m actually working this weekend. I work at Walgreens BTW (God where is my Salvation?). At any rate, working on the weekend is more cool then anything I ever did with my young days’ weekends. I am still young so I am praying my life turns around.

Your Student,
TOF

My best weekend ever would involve you and hotforprofits along with copious amounts of liquor and chocolate cake … well maybe lemon cake. Or maybe just cupcakes.

Random…excellence…great music and more…HotForWords rules the weekends :grin: have a good day, too

how about a weekend where unexpected guests stay much longer than expected :twisted:

random repeat; thought to tell your machine

fast fixes for xbox faults…

Don’t put you and your family through a agonosing weeks (or even months) wait by sending your xbox off to a repair center when you could be fixed and up and running in under an hour….
