Intelligence is sexy and chewing on a guitar pick is too. I had a car and it was called a maverick. The litttle 6 banger could burry the needle, with my brother Jim driving. As always, good job Marina. My brother Jim died of cancer…my best brother…a real Maverick. thank you and see you again :razz:
Sorry to hear that. If you need to talk, i am here for you.

If “maverick” simply means “independently minded”, then I guess a lof of us would say we are mavericks. However, I’ve always thought of it as meaning someone who is not just independently minded, but a “bit of a loose cannon” as well, someone who a senior or other person in a position of authority would find difficult to trust. If that is a fair shade of meaning, then I guess a lot less of us would be happy with the title “maverick”.

That ain’t no maverick!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:
Yes I am A Maverick. I have always thought that I am James Garner.
I would not consider myself a maverick.
Were Cheech & Chong considered to be Mavericks?
YEs hopeless savage and I are unbranded cattle.
….um, okay, well Marina you are looking tre-bien, A+ :wink: – but you always do, just somehow more than ever than before….amazing….i’ll shut up now and get back to class :grin: :oops:
Maverick person, well then say yes to that. Do somehow think that to be so of me. But couldn’t be that with out others to learn from!
I like Sarah Palin,, but I don’t think she’s ready 2 b pres. Boy, it’d be scary if she did! :eek:
Hey, Sarah Palin can see Russia from her window! :shock: :neutral: :???: :oops: :roll: Yeah, Right! I don’t think so………
In the sense of contemporary jazz radio, I consider myself a maverick. The reason is I’ve strived not to sound like a typical smooth jazz format DJ or play the same songs that a typical smooth jazz station would play. How many times do we need to hear “Songbird” by Kenny G or “Lily Was Here” by Candy Dulfer? But I digress. I’m not even in radio at the moment. :sad:
Teacher, I notice that a lot of the students in you class are really using some bad language, since I have refrained from this type of behavior is there any chance of me becoming the teachers pet?
If not then I will just be forced to resort to the same actions of my fellow classmates. And if that happens, is there any chance of you giving me a spanking? :???:
Your #1 student,
chickenh0use
where did the word evil come from?
Interesting lesson.
A stubborn ass perhaps more so, a maverick occassionally
fuck you, i ain’t no fucking maverick!
This is the time of day where we rock out Funk #49 – James Gang
Che, that was some good rock…
But a href=”http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DA-TqLaBNE0&fmt=18″>THIS is funk. :mrgreen:

Good evening Marina,
Thank you for the interesting video. I often think of what a proper name means. I believe your last name means “eagle.” Perhaps “Maverick” also has a meaning?
I consider myself an occasional maverick. It depends on the circumstances. For example, I believe there is an intelligent hand behind nature and this has put me in the definite minority when conversations on evolution and creation arise.
My best to you and your doggy,
Louie
Well Sir,I think nature and evolution normally progress “hand in hand”,so,in that context,You may well be correct.
tryant
The ordinary meaning of creation is the making of the universe from the void by the divine hand. That is what I meant by intelligent hand. If you take the pure evolutionary position to its first principle it comes to no more no less than a faith in the accidental and in chance. I refuse to believe that something as beautiful and perfect as Marina’s blue eyes could ever be the result of two random bits of matter hitting eachother by accident long ago. No the author of beauty is Beauty itself or, the Divine.
Basically,yes,but it is the accidental dna change that creates an “odball” of the species wich happens to have physical advantages for the environment,the odball survives and propogates. It will be interesting someday(future gens) to see what happens with a species that can knowingly exercise some degree of control over the environment! Might just stagnate human evolution! Naaa,not likely. Prolly be just the opposite if the population keeps growing and *every* gene mutation gets to propogate!!
Waayyyy to confusing for this older-than-dirt drywaller!
tryant
Wow! Consider Myself a maverick. in some ways and in some people’s eyes,yes,I’m a maverick,,,,,,but then,,,when Ya ask other folks I’m right in line with their thinking. This is a tough question since I am overthinking it!
Yeah.I’m a “dyed in the wool” maverick,,no mistake there,,but,,I try to be friendly to folks at the same time,,does that muddy-up the maverick moniker?!?!?
Lemme try this again,,,I am 73.856397736% maverick,,the remaining percentage falls somewhere in the normal range as to beliefs/actions/personality. LOL,,I just looove this homework.
tryant
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_auDK1sBa0,
That was a tad bit strange. Dunno if there’s enough pills-n-alcohol in the world to get me into it,,the one dark haired chickie tho was pretty hot. TY for the vid tho stokes. Hope Ya find My comments entertaining too,I try.

i finished my “music” for #9 … wanna preview? .. i’d be interested in what you think … cos .. well .. you know.
Ya betcha, just sitting here listening to Deep Purple, while trying to fine a photo for YT.
ok .. i sent you a message via your YTube place ..
… i put it in the same place as the preview for music for #8 .. but this time it’s xxx/9.mp3
.. it’s likely that you’ll appreciate Deep Purple all the more after listening to it.

Cab you please do the phrase “charlie horse”?
Please and Thank You.
:mrgreen:
I would like to know the origin of the phrases “Off the wagon” and “On the wagon” when refering to some one being sober for some ammount of time.
Hey! can you find the origin of ” Food for Thought’? thanks

Can you do a lesson on the word “belly button” or “navel”?Thanks,Marina :mrgreen:
MARINA!
where does the phrase “knock on wood” come from?
Howdy Marina that was a very interesting video. A lot of people say that they are a maverick ? I think there are more puppets out there then mavericks. Could you please investigate the words Bilderberg Illuminati :smile:
I do not consider myself a maverick. I just am who I am, but I know others think of me as one.
Where does the term “See a man about a horse” come from to refer to someone needing to go and use the restroom?
In the UK the expression is “see a man about a dog”.
I guess we’re not so full of p%^s as they are in Texas. :razz: :lol:
heh, Texans use both… and yeah, they’re full of p**s (and vinegar).
HFW site login anomalies:
Hello Marina, several people have mentioned having login issues. The short term solution is to do a page Refresh / Reload which works.
I know that you have tweaked some Ajax things in the past and other things like turning off Digg, etc., due to other issues.
I just did some tests and here is my findings:
1. The login page is that plain white page with light blue login box.
After entering the password, it takes one to the HFW Home page (or other) at which point the login status in the upper right should show “Log Out”, which means one is logged in.
In almost all cases, the indicator says “Log In” which confuses people. By Refreshing / Reloading the page, the indicator shows correctly.
Is the result of the log status an Ajax or other site tweak since the indicator is not updated when the Home page is displayed?
2. In the past, when Iogged out of a particular video page, and then logging in again, it would take me back to that video page. I just tested it by logging out of this video page. When I logged back in again, it took me to the Dashboard, as that happened to other people as well.
If you need any assistance, message me
on my YT or account here. :smile:
I dont like that name :???: maverick is an old ford :wink:
They were like the Pinto and the Chevy Caviler, just throw away cars.
The Yugo now that is the BIC of disposal cars. :grin:
How about the gremlin That put the J in junk :smile:
I owned a 71 Gremlin, that’s a classic car, ran great, 3 speed shift, 6 cyl.
great body lines, called it Gizmo
Did you know that a rear window defroster was standard on Yugo’s?
Yeah, to keep your hands warm while you push it.
Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia – fear of long words but why do the make it so long? just like Lisp having an “s” in it. its like a cruel joke. could you please investigate 1 of those?
thank you :)
Yeeeah, I knew eventually this word would come around. Marina, I second this WORD REQUEST.
:neutral: She already has that word listed under “H”, in the Words/Lessons page.
oh yea sorry didnt see ;p
but what about lisp? that would be a pretty cool word to investigate :P find why it has “s” in it
I guess, maybe I am a maverick, but I prefer “rebel.” :twisted:
if a group of calves leave the herd and go in the same direction, are they all mavericks?

Dear Miss Marina Orlova,
You are so Beautiful in that yellow and black. You look Delicious (there is a word you can add to the lesson that lists words to describe your Hotness) and full of flavor. And whoa! That is a nice rug. Yes I am Crussian on you.
Your Student,

That’s cool Wetsuit. :smile:

Oh Dear :)
I used to live uphill from my school. I used to coast my bike to school “backwards”.
When I was young, my Mom told me, “sticks and stones will break my bones, but names will never hurt me.” So I went to school and swore and gave hurtful names to a bunch of school kids. They dog piled on top of me and beat me up.
I took a day off from school. Is this maverick or what? :lol:
Perhaps Maverick had so many cattle he decided to allow the cattle decide whom they belonged too?
Good one Stokes, maybe the cows didn’t like Maverick :lol:
Here’s a game that’s name that TV show by it’s music. If you want to put your wits against theme songs.

Free thinking individual (Who sometimes gets into trouble with management or co-workers for that thought. Hey! A price to pay!).
Sometimes it pays off and other times … not so much.
Good to hear Cap’n Jack is OK. Was wondering if he discovered if
the world was flat in a certain spot ….
Dave I agree with your Free thing comment. And yes sometimes it does pay off.
It’s like a story I heard some where. A trucker was hauling a load to high for a bridge and got his rig wedged under the bridge. The wrecker crew tried to pull him out from under the bridge, but to no avail. A little boy walks up and says why don’t you let some air out of the tires and the truck was pulled to safety. All for free thinking of a little boy.
A guy had to go to the scrap yard several times a week, he had a big truck and had to past under a low bridge. He did this for years with no problems. Then one day they resurfaced the road, yep, he came down that road fast and confident as always…rip….tore the roof right off that day. :eek:
CAPMAN & DETOUR !! You folks just don’t know how much both can be true on Southern State Parkway (Long Island, NY) !!
Low bridges and the last I was in NY, It was *always* having
roadwork being done. Cool *duality*! Love it! I’m home!
:smile: Hi HotForWords,
I want to know the origin of the word,
F&%K.
(the F word)
And I want to know why it has so many meanings, and why those meanings were decided upon.
Thanks!
F&%K ? never heard of it :S
Captain Jack is having internet problems right now. The last email I got from him said he had moved, I guess his boat is bigger and couldn’t dock it in the same place. He said his isp is real slow and he can’t do Marina’s or YouTube’s site very well. So we’ll have to kinda wait for him. Sorry folks for his delay in naming any new Teacher’s Assistants. HE’LL BE BACK and soon. :wink:
“Wait till you try and do a comment location in the view page source’s section. It is murder trying to figure out where the comment number is located. :lol:”
If you want to know someones comment number, just highlight a the persons gravatar ,name ,date and a piece of text (1 letter is enough) and click view sellection sorce, it should be on the top.
Thanks Fox, I had been doing the whole section of comments and picking out what I needed. This makes it a lot easier.
what .. ??? … the .. f*&k … eh? … that’s just pure gibberish!!
Got your message Mike. I will respond to the other person.
Your un-official Maverick T.A. :grin:
Thanks a lot Karl I really appreciate the help.
Mike asked below:
“What would happen if you used a different number at the end?”
YouTube lists all of the possible format codes on one of their Help pages. Anoher code I remember is &fmt=6 which means use the H.263 codec. Wiki has an OK article about “You Tube” Wiki is having problems at the moment.
Wikimedia Foundation – Error
Our servers are currently experiencing a technical problem. This is probably temporary and should be fixed soon. Please try again in a few minutes.
Thanks again Karl. I need to study computer codes and the such so I can keep up. I have learned a lot from all of you.
well, if he can’t name another TA, you should have a sub-TA…
which, of course, would be a TATA…
name two & you’d have your own TATAs… :mrgreen:

Must be my end, still not gettin the pic
Sheesh! Mention tatas & y’all go crazy!… :mrgreen:

Alex, you are a maverick and the hero of the moment
Thanks Alex. HEHEHE I knew we would get it one day. :lol:

How and where do I put the &fmt=18 code on YT to listen in HQ?
just paste it at the end of the url example;

Thanks, Foxbro eh i mean Foxbow :smile:
What would happen if you used a different number at the end?

Who’s foot is it? has a little game going. See if you can answer the riddle he has proposed. :cool:
Who’s Foot is it¿
I don’t see no stinkin’ foot…. :???:
Stinky shoes then :lol:
…now I do, and it looks clean, pretty…. even has paint on the toe nails
about a size six… :???:
@Cap I wonder if that would work on my cats :?: :lol:
re: “What would happen if you used a different number at the end?”
as far as i can tell there’s three variations of playback in YouTube:
this assumes the vid uploaded is:
* mp4 container
* aac stereo 128kb/s (or better) sound
* h.264 600kb/s (or better) video
so… lets say the vid is my “8″ vid:
you could have the plain link:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xPFQpWm31nQ
add &fmt=6 to the end:
video: good quality
audio: lo quality (96kb/s mono)
(this is what you get when you see the “watch in high quality” link below the YouTube video)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xPFQpWm31nQ&fmt=6
add &fmt=18 to the end:
video: good quality
audio: hi quality (sound at the quality uploaded)
i.e like “watch in high quality” but with better sound
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xPFQpWm31nQ&fmt=18
I searched, but I didn’t find any other &fmt=… numbers.
Thanks
palMijj. :grin:Damn, that last one was funky… as in stereophonic coolness
it’s a pity they dont give you a link below the vid for hi quality sound like they do for hi quality video.
because a silent 3 would be totally confusing

I knew some of that stuff about Samuel A. Maverick and how it relates to “maverick”, as I posted a little bit about it weeks ago. I pretty much looked it up with half of the information in the dictionary. :mrgreen:
This kinda sounds like Deja Vu. :shock: Didn’t we discuss maverick some where before in another video. :?:

Marina -The Halloween Movie
The smell of sawdust filled my nostrils in the cold refrigerated air of a meat locker, floating in a dream like state surrounded by bodies of young men hanging from meat hooks.
There at the other end stood a young lady, her hot breath made a cloud of vapor in the cold air, in her hands was a still beating heart, her lips and cheeks covered with fresh blood . I asked her, “Marina, Why?
Her reply, ” I need the warm hearts of young men to keep me young.”
That’s the plot, just add some music, which one of you creative people can make a video of this.
….present working title is MARINAVILLE DETENTION CENTER
ooo! … that’s luvli! .. the best horror has a grain of truth to it too!
Scary!
I must have really
CREEPEDyou out, for you not to reply to my comment, a little further down below… :?:I hate to tell all of you this, but none of you are Mavericks :shock: As the beautiful and talented Marina has her Brand on us. :wink:
:shock: I just checked my hind quarter :!: How did that get there :?:
When we all joined her KGB cell she branded all of us. :twisted:
Brand me, baby… dassokay… just don’t make me a steer.
A man goes into a Doctors office with a steering wheel on his penis.
The doctor sees it and says, “Do you know you have a steering wheel on your penis?”
“Yes,” says the man, “and it’s driving me nuts.”
Bob, you’re definitely a nut :mrgreen:

Hey Marina, I’m not

You have a feetish :lol:
Don’t we all have a fetish of some kind? :neutral:
Oh! FEET-ish! Which reminds me….. it’s been months since I made “fetish” my first word request, and never heard from Marina. Must have creeped her out…. :mrgreen:

And the question for today is: Who’s foot it that? :lol:
:roll: (I don’t know, I’m just being silly.)
Marina’s foot. :?:
Nope. I wouldn’t make it that easy. :mrgreen:
Man, this is starting to feel stupid. :roll:
I’ll probably give the answer tommorrow, but leave this hint:
She is one of the sexiest woman alive, but her dad has gotten more attention.
Angelina Jolie (father: John Voight)
Vampire Too
Good guess, Dezdkado…. but NO. :mrgreen:
Ivanka Trump.
Keep it up and see how many answers you get. Makes for a cool game. :mrgreen:

If you were looking for the answer on this page, Bob is the only one who got it right. :smile:
This gravatar idea of mine is either funny or stupid. :roll:
…..but at least it’s pretty sexy. :grin:
I’m going to try it out for a day or two to see how goes.

That’s kinky… better than having them in apples…
Ohhh…. wait a second…. you mean two….
People thought I was a maverick because I never finished college. I don’t have a problem with that. I don’t have a problem with college either.. Universities produce some decent employees.. :twisted:

That was a cool video Bob.
i would actually call myself a Maverick

where has RRR gone
Here is our latest interview marina!!
Its a bit rubbish
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=D1aP6sBZMeg
you ape :twisted:
Good one James. I like the ones with you and Marina conversing. :wink:
Thanks.. I was thinking it wasnt that good.. It had some good lines.. Just wasnt very well made.. Any idea on the new TA??
Jacks having internet problems right now so it might be some time before we hear from him. The last email I got from him said he had moved, I guess his boat is bigger and couldn’t dock it in the same place. He said his isp is real slow and he can’t do Marina’s or YouTube site very well. So we’ll have to kinda wait for him. Sorry folks for his delay in naming any new Teacher’s Assistants. HE’LL BE BACK :wink:
re: … Google gears, etc. (below)
Yes, Mike, what you said down below does make sense.
I don’t use Google gears or any kind of caching, but I’m not sure that it should be an issue with login issues per se.
What many people describe as “login in problems” may actually be normal, but to the user (you, me and everyone else) it looks like a problem. Specifically, it has to do with expired cookies and cookies that become invalid maybe due to site tweaking issues or when one leaves the site. I counted 17 HFW cookies and 1 PHP session ID.
Marina would be the one to clarify whether the login issues some people are having is a site issue or whether it is an anomaly and if anything can be done about it.
I have no complaints as I am familiar with expired cookies and session IDs and I just Refresh the page to solve the issue. Also, the browser one uses makes a difference. I mostly use SeaMonkey, then FireFox and almost never use MSIE.
If Marina says that there are no site issues and if it is an anomaly., then I would be glad to create a web page to describe the issue. Marina did some tweaking earlier this year to increase the security to the site which changed some site behaviors.
Since you liked Google gears, see if you can install it again, then if you have the login issue, just Refresh / Reload the page at the time of the problem.
I think I’ll start by having a little fun with my gravatar, as well as my public name. hee hee hee hee hee :mrgreen:
The only “Maverick” I know is Tom Cruise in TOP GUN!
…strayed from the herd, took a wrong turn or something
Is it just me or when I get logged out (if i delete cookies) it always takes about 50 attempts at logging in before it actually works
same here, it’s freaking anoying :evil:
James and foxbow, try the following and let me know how it works.
First, I am presuming, what you mean by “many attempts at logging in”
refers to you not seeing the comment text box. Is that correct?
If this is so, then all you need to do after you have logged in, is “refresh / reload” the page.
For example, occasionally, I will log in and the text in the upper right will say “Log Out”, which means I am logged in, but the comment text box does not show up and there is no “reply” link underneath comments. All I do is click “reload / refresh” the page and the text box appears.
it works now…but I used to end up at the front page if tried to log in, now I get to that dashboard page…
always when I clicked the log in button, I enterd my username and pass and hit “log in” I ended up at the front page, and it said “log out” in the upper right corner, but when i went to a video or something it said log in again, i’v tried refreshing and all but that didn’t work at the time.
Karl, your advice worked for me, and today I notice that when I logged in and got to the home page it said I was not logged in but when I click on the lesson I became logged in.
I’m glad that it worked for you Che.
foxbow, re: “ending up on a certain page”
Marina has configured this site so that you will end up on the same page from which you logged out. If you logged out of the dashboard page, you will log back into the dashboard.
Re: “Logged In” status in upper right.
When you log in, it is correct that you sometimes see the log in status show not logged in and when you navigate to another page, the status shows correctly. My guess is that it has to do with the way the pages are refreshed or not refreshed and the way the site / template handle cookies and session IDs.
Marina being a total geek has much more knowledge of her site than I do. I vaguely remember her mentioning something about that many many months ago and it having to do with added security.
Karl it could have something to do with using the Turbo mode on the dashboard or Google gears. I had put that into effect on my computer and what it does is save more in the cache so the page loads faster and doesn’t have to reload every single item. That’s my understanding of how it works. I uninstalled both and don’t have any more problem with what they are talking about. The site is a tad slower, but I don’t have the login problems I used to have. Does that make sense?
Am I a maverick?
I am a person with a strong sense of right and wrong and refuse to be coerced or forced into any form of doctrine which I find ultimately unjust. I refuse to conform to anything just for the sake conformity (i.e. no good reason for it).
Does all the above qualify me as a maverick?
Excellent work on this video. I never knew that the word that refers to non-conformist actually came from a cowboys name, though I’ve known about the use of such a name for quite a while.
Still waiting for the origin of Hitman. ;)
Dear ÑÐ¾Ð²ÐµÑ€ÑˆÐµÐ½Ð½Ð°Ñ Marina,
I woke up this morning and what did I find
but a fresh new video from Marina’s great mind.
Seeing you again is such a delight
yet I see you posted it after midnight.
You worked so late to make it the best,
so I hope this weekend you get some nice rest.
For your homework, the only area in which I am a maverick, as you defined it, is my unusual attraction for a Russian girl who is unattainable to me. :sad:
There was a movie called “Maverick”, with Mel Gibson and Jodt Foster. I’ve seen reruns of a TV series called “Maverick” with James Kelly, Roger Moore, James Gerner and others. Ford made a car called the “Maverick” from 1969 to 1977, so we hardly see any of them, now. Your dear student, seesixcm6
You are an Artist of the maverick kind. You wear all and any colors well. Artful Dodger is my maverick request and as always bees are good. LUV
Hi Marina, this is ChrisWalsh726 from youtube.
I am extremely inquisitive about this word, so I owuld like to know the origin of the word ”independence”, since it’s become such a prestigious word for history in terms of political and government entities. Thanks.
I do not consider myself a maverick… yet. :wink:
Thank you SO much for doing déjà vu!! I am so excited!
I swear I have seen you with a proper gravatar
like yours yes, maaina :mrgreen:
FOR FUX SAKE!! ITS MARINA AND I HAVE TOLD YOU ALREADY!! ITS WRITTEN IN NEON STYLE WRITING :evil:
yeah sure, you’re just to lazy to fix it :wink: :lol:
:evil: :evil: I AM a pissy mood at the moment so shut up and i will discuss this later
I have never changed my gravatar. I only use my iPod to get on hotforwords so it’s never changed.
And I am not afraid to get mavericky with you.
Do you have the IPOd touch? My son just got one and you say you can get on Marina’s site with it, kewl. I need to work with his a little more.
i have a request for the phrase trip the light fantastic if you decide to do it can u also let me know to watch?
Welcome to HFW… If you ‘Sign Up’ in the upper-right hand corner of the page, you can be notified of all her new vids. OR, you could just come back here regularly – We have a grand time here between vids interacting with one another, and sometimes with Marina. Meantime, please explore the site and be sure to check out her other vids at the ‘Words/Lessons’ tab at the top of the page. Enjoy!
Ciao,

There is a news ( it was on CNN so yes it was news ) bit about SNL’s impersonation of Palin tipping her hand as if drinking and making a reference to ‘Mavericks’ in the clip.
Then HFW does an item on ‘Maverick’ suggested by a gent in front of several bottles of alcohol.
I admit I missed the reference. Any help?
Thank you.
Good Morning
Yes I am a Maverick!
Look a piece of the rug got up and walked across the screen. :shock:
I guess I’m like everyone else and would like to think of myself as a Maverick. But then would I still be a Maverick? :wink: :lol:
Marina, do you really want to go barefoot with all the cattle running around on the fluffy rug. Beware the steaming pies. :smile:
Get along little doggy?

I just heard interesting word: “lollygagging”. Origin of that, please!
Dear HotForWords,
I consider myself a Maverick for sure. Just Naturally so, I am not inclined or moved to become Branded by any particular thing person or place. I think you also are a Maverick.

thx
How about the word “decimate”. Many people seem to confuse it with “devastate”.
“The town was completely decimated by the tornado.” It just can’t be!
Yes, interesting Roman practice…
50?? Damn I’m gettin’ slow
Hey Marina I wanted to know…. well please dont take me as a wrong person or sick minded freak but what or where does the word “Dildo” come from?
you perv :lol:
Any Japanese students here to hit this guy with a stick :?:
These are the kind of words I would investigate… :grin:
re: my suggestion…
I find that Marina does many of the more risqué words on her Maxim radio bit. I have (just now, as a matter of fact) suggested that she make a list of those words as well, either integral to the video list, or as a seperate list altogether such that they may be referenced/linked when requests for these words are made. Additionally, I have since recalled that she has stated somewhere that “there are no ‘reject’ words.” But there still may be some that she may wish neither to make a vid for or do on Maxim. I suggest asking her directly via the contacts page. Please feel at liberty to quote me from here or our YT correspondence, and good luck! :grin:

What is a Mustanger ?
In military slang, an officer who previously served as an enlisted soldier. Bucking, the system so to speak. In other words, someone who came up the ranks, independently from the usual path.
That kind of Mustang is not a Maverick, but often considered the best type of officer, greatly respected by enlisted servicemen. Mustangs don’t buck the system to become officers. They exemplify the best qualities of leadership.

maverick.
tom cruise made three cool movies. the other ones being collateral and the last samurai.
Rebecca rides the…er train.
i don’t know, man. there’s things that can just lower the coolness of a movie. that genesis song? come on.
arizona dreams could’ve been one of the best movies ever. but that fish, that fucking flying fish …
Tangerine Dream
I haven’t heard Tangerine Dream in years.
Remember this classic line from the Risky Business?:
“Who’s the U-boat commander?”

‘Top gun” admittedly, is pretty… how you say it , corny, but my 18 year old kid bought the DVD & has watched it three times
corny? no, it wasn’t corny. it was cool. i mean, they made that movie in … ’85 or something?
by the way, here’s a different approach to top gun.
Cool Faye Dunaway…wow… I haven’t seen the arizona dreams movie before (must see soon). Hey the genesis song was cool, ’til Miami Vice killed it. And yes the hollywood (so called) love story part of Top Gun is corny, but the flying scenes & music are good. If the music wasn’t good my kid wouldn’t have liked it.
Rebecca De Mornay realy did it for me in the day…what can I say…I can’t help it I was born a white guy.
yeah, rebecca de mornay … she played with antonio banderas in never talk to strangers. not bad.
hey, come on, miami vice was cool. the tv series, i mean. don johnson did some really good movies, too.
Hey, Billy, have you ever heard of Wally George? He had a local TV show in Anaheim for many years and Rebecca is his estranged daughter.
Wally George
I loved Faye in Little Big Man
How old is faye dunaway.. I only ever saw her in bonnie and clyde..
She’s 67… born in 1941
I haven’t seen collateral, but last samurai and top gun are great. Did Berlin (the band) protest the movie top gun because they didn’t want their hit song Take My Breath Away associated with an American “war” film?
they protested? really? i don’t know …
I remember vaguely that they considered the movie to represent American aggression. I think the band was getting flack for “selling out” to the big US movie industry and needed a face-saving response to mollify their fan base.
Check out this old classic Berlin song… The Metro. Forget all of the 80′s clothing, but I think the lead singer looks similar to Marina.
well, i was born in east germany in 78, so … uh … i guess i wasn’t really able to pay attention to that kinda stuff. ;)
Er… um, yeah… damn, I’m old.
yeah. me too. :/
homework: yes i9 would
What has happened to the border around the side of the video?? I loved that
For you, young translator.
hey, Marina .. if you’re so smart tell me this … why is the word for the small unit of time (second) the same as the word for the thing that comes after the first .. erm .. thing (second) ?
… if you see what i mean.
’cause it only takes a second to come in second…(-;
And conversely, you only have to be a split second in front to be first.

i haven’t even started on the audio for 9 (tho i have an idea for style). The visuals i haven’t even considered .. and that part always makes me nervous cos it’s a complete shot in the dark when i start .. so .. 2 days from now is the best bet.
Mijj, did you know that in my Yahoo Email that the words ‘shot in the dark’ will give you a link to an Ozzy Osbourne song when the cursor passes over it. :cool:
Ozzy (along with Marina) is in my collection of heroes!

And that has made all of the difference” – Robert Frost
Yup, I’m a Maverick and have received many awards for being so.
One of awards I received was written about in the Honolulu Star Bulletin on page 3.
Some say the world will end in fire;
Some say in ice.
From what I’ve tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To know that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.
- Robert Frost, some more. :grin:
Congratz for the award Karl. If anyone deserved it, your the person who should have. :wink:
!! .. soooo !!! .. that‘s where “maverick” came from. … a lazy guy who couldn’t be bothered to brand his cattle.
The story of him being lazy is a stretch. He was a lawyer, a rancher, a land lord, a fighter in the Texas Revolution, and a part of his local militia. He was a very busy man. Some say he was unconcerned with ranching… maybe… he certainly was more concerned with selling land than ranching. And there were laws in Texas at the time that required a rancher to brand his herds. Maverick actively and continuously refused to do so… and saved himself a lot of money by bucking the system.
damn .. i think i preferred that he was lazy. Laziness is a quality that’s not appreciated much nowadays, and i thought the story helped the cause.
rebel.
