    How did you get the new lesson five minutes before me?
    I was reloading during that time.

    I can’t remember what my last nightmare was, but it was just over a year ago. The only thing I can recall is a bunch of daemon like creatures crawling all over my bed room. One was sitting on me so I couldn’t move or breath. It took all my concentration and will to get my thumb to move and break the “spell” . As soon as that happens (I’m awake now) air rushes into my lungs and I can feel my heart pounding in my chest.
    I have had this dream at least twice a year. Sometimes it scares the crap out of me, because I can really feel the things happening to me.

    In my most recent nightmare I needed to warn someone of an impending catastrophe, but I had lost the power of speech.

  • http://www.youtube.com/user/dezdkado Dezdkado

    On YT or here? All I did here was go to the HFW homepage and hit F5 for a page refresh after a few minutes. I did the same thing on YT, but I camped out on the videos page like Cap had instructed.

    Marina
    A word in the news that needs definition is Socialist.
    Is Obama a Socialist, a Marxist. You’re a Ukrainian right?
    Did you live under Communism. Do you recommend it here.
    People here don’t know history. Obama’s rallys remind me of Hitler rallys in 1932. He was preaching change too. Hugo Chavez too, same thing Change and hate the rich.

    Hate to burst the bubbles, but the absolute insistence of the casino capitalism that pervades the US and is spreading to ever more countries is

    Thomas Jefferson (A former US President) said:

    “I sincerely believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. Already they have raised up a money aristocracy that has set the government at defiance. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people to whom it properly belongs.”

    The Presidents that actually TRIED to take power away from the banks ended up very dead indeed (think Abraham Lincoln and J.F.K).

    By the way, Stalinism is basically a very twisted form of “Communism”, created by a boy whose mind has been twisted trough years of being cooped up in a “BIG BROTHER” environment. There is nothing socialistic about a system that sanctions any form of corrupt and unjustifiable privileged. I could go on forever to try to explain things, but time is of the essence.

    The economy should have served the people, but instead it is now in the hands of a few self serving rich that produce nothing and take everything. Socialism wouldn’t even need to exist if the former statement wasn’t so painfully true in reality. Economic systems can only work in the long term and prevent unnecessary wars and hardship if the main goal was, is and always will be to provide real hope for today and the future. Interestingly, the former statement explains what socialism, at its very core, is all about.

    I know I will be barraged by all so many individuals after this post, and frankly I’ve seen worse. My sincere advice is to remove all forms of dogma from all our minds and seek the truth.

    Literally it means “little man” and has been used to describe a variety of different phenomenon… as I recall its origins lay with witchcraft and alchemy. Through special spells and alchemical knowledge a witch or wizard could create a “little man” that would do the spell-casters bidding. Wikipedia might have something on it. I remember seeing a 17th century drawing of a homunculus in one of my brother’s biology textbooks… to explain the 17th century concept of sperm.

  • tok-715

    is… the very cause of our endless cycles of economic bubbles, crashes and pointless wars.

    note: incomplete 1st paragraph.

    BTW Marina, is there any way to incorporate an edit function in case we want to fix errors in our posts?

    Homework (Quick, Kobe eat this one): I’m in a very tall building which was on fire. The fire was completely out of control and consuming the whole building below me. There was no way down. The flames kept creeping coming closer and closer, as the air got hotter and hotter, smoke becoming thicker and thicker. It became harder and harder to breath. Then suddenly I’m in the air falling. It rushes towards me. I wake up suddenly, screaming my lungs out and in a cold sweat.

  • leonard

    Did you mean: homunculus

  • http://www.youtube.com/user/mikemx32 Ghost Rider

    It sure does Che. I have sleep apnea and have a C Pap machine. If I don’t sleep with it I have those episodes. Smokey you should get a doctor check you for sleep apnea. It is deadly plus it puts a strain on your heart as it has to go without oxygen for how ever long you are having the episode and going without air. I am not trying to scare you, but it would be something you should look into.

    Hey Tok-715, I can answer that for you. The edit function would over load the site and the servers. We mention that to her before and that was pretty much Marina’s answer. You could always try WhiteSmoke.com that edits you sentence grammar and structure for you and leaves a clean comment.

    The last nightmare (sort of) was when one of the two cats was on my bed “speaking English to me!” I freaked out!… like what is going on?… the cat told me… “if you are not going to be nice to me then I am going move to the HotForWords house!” Whoooa!
    Actually, the cat winked and said “just kidding!” :lol:

  • tryant

    I haven’t had a nightmare in a looong time,but,back when I was 7yo or so I dreamed I was being chased by a big mean sheep. I ran and ran till I couldn’t run anymore,then,I turned and grabbed the sheep by the upper and lower jaws and ripped them apart,then,woke up. I don’t think that is very normal for a child.

  • seesixcm6

    Dear совершенная Marina, Well, first of all, a dream of you having carnal relations with me is definitely not a nightmare! (Well, not for me, and I hope it’s not a nightmare for you, either! I’d want it to be good for you!) For your homework, I seldom have nightmares any more. I used to have them as a child. Now, the most difficult dream I’ve had is one in which I’m in a strange building and can’t locate something, such as a restroom, or a cafeteria, or a conference room! I hope you don’t have many nightmares, either. :razz:
    Your dear student, seesixcm6

  • CampKohler

    My worst nightmare occurred in a hospital while recovering from surgury. I was being treated (in the dream) by being fed bars of wax, which came in a box like gift bar soap. The wax would swell up a choke me. My mind brilliantly overcame this horror by making up a box of rolled up washcloths, which the doctors immediately accepted as an acceptable substitute. The towels did not choke, so I could breath. Later I was told that such wierd dreams were a side effect of the percodan and morphine combination I was receiving. If I ever entertained thoughts of taking drugs, it was cured by this for sure.

    Marina, you can come suffocate me anytime in my sleep. Then we could have carnival relations.*

    A fellow was found eating yeast and vaseline. He was taken to the Hospital and the doctor informed about what he had ingested.
    The doctor issued the prognonsis. He said the fellow would “Rise and shine.”

    An edit overloads the servers, but the original posts don’t? Phooey! I don’t believe it. I have been on BBSs that had full edit turned on and the single PC that hosted them had no problem keeping up and that was on a 1995′s PC. (Searching the entire archive of posts for a few keywords was a different matter, but they allowed that, too.) No, I think this was entirely an administrative decision, and a bad one at that. “KOBE, ATTACK! EAT THE BAD ADMINISTRATORS! THEY TASTE LIKE CHICKEN.”

    hey I remember that Incubi Succubi video. When it came out, I was listening to band named “Inkubus Sukkubus” and wondered what that meant. What would I ever do without you, HotForWords?

    Well..I guess i’d still be wondering what that means, until I went and researched it myself out of curiosity.

  • http://www.youtube.com/user/smokey36bear smokey36bear

    I don’t know if this is a nightmare, but I dream about work alot. More so on heavy weaks. I get home from work, un wind, go to bed, dream of being at work, wake up, go to work, and think F**** I just left thi place.

    She would have been about nine when the USSR disintegrated. It would be interesting to hear what she knew from her indoctrination and living in that society and how things changed. There’s a book there I think.

    For one good look at the USSR ten yearls earlier, see if you can find Stepping Down from the Star, by Alexandra Costa (1985) about a diplomat’s wife that defected to the U.S. I still have it somewhere.

  • CampKohler

    For extra credit: I give you a true post-nightmare scare.

    I used to drive “over the hill” to Reno a lot for work. I could pull over any time day or night and snooze and my internal clock would wake me up exactly 20 minutes later (which never worked anywhere except in the car, for some reason). One night, with no moon, I parked facing a forest, which was pitch black. Soon I dreamed I was still driving, but I knew I was asleep, so I instantly awoke to save myself. All I could see was a dead-black windshield, so I jammed on the brakes with all my might, but since the wheels weren’t turning, there was no feel of brakes and I mentally pictured oiled, perfectly-slippery brake rotors allowing me to roll to my doom. About two very-long seconds later I realized the true situation. By then the adrenalin that had shot through me made sure I was awake the last hour home no problem. After that night, I always parked facing a light in the distance just in case it ever happened again.

  • CampKohler

    Let’s see… You’ve got no brakes. Then the mud stops you. Sorry, but I don’t see the problem.

    He’s in Arizona. The show is syndicated so I’m sure there are more stations that feature him. He’s very clever and witty- does a great job as DJ. They have some funny commercials relating to him and pre- station break sound bites (bytes?). That station comes in (closest to me) in Gonzales, Ca. .

    No, no, no, you’ve got it all wrong. That’s not carpet in her belly button. She had a belly button piercing that went terribly wrong. You are actually looking completely through her, and of course, you see white carpet, which is in the background. When she is using the red carpet, you can see red through her belly button.

    It’s true, I tell you.

    Animal zombies are the best type of zombies.
    I didn’t get to dream about any YET.
    Once I dreamt that I was shooting at my zombie stalker, but he just wouldn’t give. He was pretty fast and very persistent. Finally when I ran out of bullets, I just teased him that he was slower than me, and that he should just give up, he’d never catch me.
    It worked, but before I could enjoy my success, it was morning :/
    Until the next time we meet zombie of my dreams. And I’ll get a bigger gun. :D

    You run an excellent show here, thanks to you I want to go to college for Philology along with Philosophy. I had never heard of Philology until yesterday when I came across one of your video’s on youtube. It sparked an interest in me that I never knew I had and I have already spent about 2 hours watching your videos today. You said in the staring contest video that you wanted to make learning fun, and you did. Many thanks and much respect.

    Sorry, I don’t mean to repost but I want to tell you what my “scariest” nightmare was.

    I was at my old job I had three years ago when I was sixteen and I was standing by one of the machines that molded plastic. Suddenly six clear rubber tubes shot out of the machine. Two penetrated each side of my neck, two on each side of my ribs, and two into each of my legs. Then i was somehow chained to the machine and couldnt move. Then the tubes started pumping my blood and I could see three men who looked like a Human-Demon hyprid standing about 20 feet away watching me and laughing, then I woke up.

  • lgrant98001

    I love your classes!

    I would like to know why the prefix “homo” seems to have two very different meanings. One meaning is “man”, as in “homo sapiens”, or the words “hombre” or “homme”. The other meaning seems to be “same”, as in “homonym” or “homosexual”. And the term “homosexual” usually refers to men, with women of that genre being instead referred to as “lesbian”. Is that the connection between the words? What is going on here?

    Thanks! You’re the best…

    Lynn

    I wonder if Marina ever dreams of words… :-)

  • nakedbullwinkle

    WTF :?: :?: Are you talking to me??? My question was legitimate and your name is not Marina so I do not care what you have to say. Secondly, this name I have has been in use for three years either here or on other sites. Third, no one asked for your opinion so keep it to yourself and I will finish with the smiley face you used to keep it all warm and fuzzy around here :smile:

  • http://www.youtube.com/user/dezdkado Dezdkado

    Lynn, I think your observation is a good one. I hope that Marina chooses to feature your question in one of her videos. In the mean time the difference is in the source language. Homo Sapiens means “wise man”. Here the word “homo” comes from Latin and means specifically a “male human being”. For the scientific nomenclature “homo” refers to “mankind” in general. In words like homonym, homophone, homosexual, etc. the portion “homo” comes from the Greek word “homos” which means “same”. Therefore we get “same sound” from homophone (homos + phone) and “same sex” or “same gender” for homosexual (homos + sexus). Interestingly, the term homosexual did not exist until the end of the 19th century, and is a hybrid word… a combination of Greek and Latin root words. Sexus is Latin, meaning “state of being male or female; gender.”

  • tok-715

    Why do I have the feeling that Marina’s nightmare involves the sudden and unexplained disappearance of the Oxford English Dictionary from terrestrial existence? And somehow, she is the only person who remembers its existence in this version of the universe, where this piece of literature never existed?

    I’ll be happy if you could tell me how close I am to guessing your nightmare correctly. :smile:

    It’s OK, Marina, you can’t embarrass yourself in front of me and I will never intentionally hurt your feelings.

  • nakedbullwinkle

    I guess I am the only one to see it odd to compare a democratic gathering similiar to a nazi following. Campy missed that comparison and the odd way of asking if communsim should work here, is obama a marxist or socialist, and offer these questions to Marina who studies words and their origins. There was another person on here couple of weeks back that wanted to use this site as some political blog like the daily Kos. I do not see your intentions as bad as his but I personally try to avoid political analysis to a laser point where you are going. I am an independent and reside in Alaska so difficult to claim I favor any Dem. You will continue to say what you want within reason but the person who I described is no longer here and the three day interest in this site expired. I suspect your not that person and really were thinking out loud with no intentions for harm or offense. So, I give you the benefit of the doubt and hope your response will be respectful for I have very carefully drafted this comment in a possible vain attempt to make a point while offending you to the least possible :smile: :smile: degree… :smile: :smile:

  • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nBfWNAoZUZk&feature=related Chemikal

    so your not capman? No ofense ment bro :P
    Hahaha, darn, a case of mistaken identity.
    He had a couple of alternate screen names, such as KillMooseAndSquirrel, MooseAndSquirrel and I thought this one was also one of his figments. (you know how fearless leader used to yell out Kill Moose and Squirrel!) We thought that it would be funny to make Marina say it, so Capman made the screen name and suggested words, just so he will be mentioned. Also I will add, that if Marina ever mentions your nick in her videos I will consider it a victory, since it’s just as funny. :)

  • http://www.youtube.com/user/dezdkado Dezdkado

    LOL… yeah, it was strange… not so much that I couldn’t talk, but that my arms were free to flail about. My father always told me that I must be part Italian… because if my arms were tied behind my back I’d never be able to talk.

  • http://toastytech.com/guis/bobboot1.gif Bob

    I’ve had that same dream but without the mud – I just keep sliding backwards, faster and faster. :sad:

  • nakedbullwinkle

    I read his comments several weeks ago about wanting her to say a strange name and he commented on my name. Maybe that is why she never comments on any of my suggestions or has used one yet. I think she responded one time to use a suggestion but have not seen it so far. I even wonder if she really reads everything people type for some of it is really silly. Or, I am just plain wrong. Yea, I was offended but kept my cool for emails can be read wrong sometimes.

    Dear Marina,

    My nightmare? I am worried. No Kobe (or is it Gorby now?). Was he the victim of a putsch? No Captain Jack. Capman is a ghost. Other trusty HFW denizens are vanishing (Mijj). Is this a pogrom? I am frightened. Is the HFW community under zombie attack? This is my nightmare…..or maybe it’s just Halloween.

    Any time one begins to speak of “spreading the wealth”, one treads close to describing a collective ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods and assets. If you give of your abundance freely, this is called charity. If your goods are taken from you by a collective (be it a mob, your community, or a government) and then given to those in need, this is socialism. There is much to be admired and feared in both systems. Is Obama a Marxist or a Socialist? I don’t know, but time will tell. I do find it interesting that a candidate that supports keeping the government away from supplanting a woman’s “reproductive rights” also seems to suggest that his brand of government will have ultimate power over every citizen’s property rights.

    In a Capitalist society your hopes for security ( food, shelter, clothing ) depend on your own initiative to work hard. You want more, you need to work harder. In general, hard work is rewarded more than if you slack off.

    In a Socialist society ( or Communist ) you depend on the hard work of others, and THEIR initiative to work harder and ‘share’ the fruits of their labor.

    I would prefer to rely more on myself than on the benevolence of others.

    Please remember, under Capitalism you are allowed to share, but under Socialism, it is REQUIRED.

    NIGHTMARE ON PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE

  • mittheman

    The ships capitain told his first mate to bring his red shirt.

    The first mate said “Why the red shirt?”

    The capitain said “We’re going into battle and if I get shot, I don’t want the crew to get scared if they see blood.”

    As they were sailing toward the enemy, the first mate came to the capitain and said “Capitain, I can see the enemy and they have eleven ships.”

    The capitain said “You better bring my brown pants!”

    I heard that Hansen Gregory claims to have invented the ring shaped doughnut in 1847 aboard a lime-trading ship by punching a hole in the center of dough with the ship’s tin pepper box. Doughnuts have a disputed history so can you tell us where it came from and how it got its name?

    That nightmare came true today; I was reversing into a space at the local supermarket car park, when the car suddenly started accelerating backwards. I applied the brakes and still was going backwards. I stomped on the brakes and still nothing happened. I was panicking – shitting bricks!
    Then I looked to the other side of the car and saw that I was stationary and I realised that the car next to me was reversing out of his parking space, which had caused me to think that I was still moving.
    It took me several minutes to get my breath before I could start laughing at the experience.

    Look for the sand runoff on the right Warren. I have seen a lot of those on some of my north and south travels. The state would put a long sand road or run off which went up a slight incline on the shoulder for trucks that lost their brakes. I would go pickup or deliver fire trucks to manufacturers in Flint Michigan and Ocala Florida. I recently was a transporter for vehicles for local dealers. Two or three of us will go to different states and pick up vehicles from GM or Ford to be brought back here. It was cheaper for them to send us than having a trailer truck deliver them.

  • CampKohler

    It is a city in Ohio on the southern shore of Lake Erie (so named because it is really wierd). It serves as the bedroom community for those working in the more affluent city of Akron, some miles to the south. Its chief economic engine is the sewage plant that also treats Akron’s waste. The waste flow first enters what is known as a trash rack to pull out all solid objects greater than one inch in diameter. These objects are then classified, cleaned, evaluated, wrapped in old Macy’s boxes and put on Ebay. The resultant income funds about 86% of the city’s municiple budget. Thus the city is very green, although the plant workers are proud of their slogan, “Brownest town around.”

    It’s true, I tell you.

    tok-715 asked:
    “…is there any way to incorporate an edit function…”

    Mike said:
    “… edit function would over load the site…”

    Mike, if I may correct you, the edit has nothing to do with server overload as such. Here is Marina’s comment back on April 4, 2008. In short:

    Marina said: “We’ll try out the edit to see if it works”, then she said, “I’ve turned off editing comments.. I prefer the “rawness” of the mistakes

    Here is the link to that thread:

    In my own words, the way I see it is that the editing of comments makes the thread also useless. In other words if the first person said the sky is green and the second person said you’re a moron and then the first person edited the post to read the sky is blue, and the second person doesn’t correct his post, then you have a thread that is worthless. Might as well erase all comments and have a blank page after a few days.

    When threads are left in granite, you have a historical account, with all the blunders and fubars intact. Much more fun that way. What if Marina edited her comment from April, I would never be able to quote her correctly. She does have editing rights, obviously.

    So, I agree with Marina, no edit button.

    For Marina:
    What I recommend is this:
    A “comment preview button” would be the most effective way to see how a comment looks. Lots of blogs have that already. Also, as Mike suggested, edit your stuff in Notepad or text editor, then do a careful second look and then post the comment. Develops character, you know.

    Although an alternate method could be a timed edit button whereby you could edit a post within 5 minutes, after which the comment is in granite. I think that has been suggested many times and I’m sure there will always be one person who will complain about extending the time to 10 minutes, if you know what I mean. :smile:

    OK, I’ve re-read everything… here I go, I push the submit button now…

  • CampKohler

    Nope, you can’t use the text (Comment) field to input anything (gives error), so it is just feedback as to what happened when you try to send a null message. Maybe it gets recorded whenever Word Press hiccups so that the administrator can go back a see what went wrong.

  • orion_ss1

    Many people ( MOSTLY reasonable ) can have different opinions as to when life begins. ANY theory can be take to an ( illogical ) extreme to justify any opinion.

    I have no desire to decide for anyone else what they do ( or don’t do ) with their ‘property’ ( here to include your own body ). Abortion is a horrible idea, but its even worse to take away someone else’s control over their own body. And ANYTHING the government touches can be assured to have the most horrible of consequences and invariably at a really high ( financial ) cost.

    Letting the government control the economy is what caused the fall of the Soviet Union ( no offense Marina, but I expect that may at least be partly why you are here ) and is causing the collapse of Great Britain. Social Security? How secure do you feel?

    There are some things that do need to be done by the government ( police, military, and education for example ) but the government should be regulating the economy, not bailing out failures and taking ownership of what should not have been bought in the first place. I’ve been paying my mortgage for years and DAMN I feel stupid.

I don’t think it’s a Halloween prank if it is Marina is being naughty with us again, which is fun. :wink: Here’s the link if you haven’t read it yet.

    Too scary and personal.. the nightmare..

  • http://www.youtube.com/CheVolay Che Volay

    “It was the worst nightmare I ever had. You wouldn’t believe it.”

    “Matter of fact, I had a bad dream last night myself.”

    “I had a hard on this morning when I woke up, Tina, it had your name written all over it.”

    “There’s four letters in my name, Rod. How could there be room on you joint for four letters?”

    “Hey… up yours with a twirling lawnmower!”

    Quote from A Nightmare on Elm Street :twisted:

  • leonard

    Main article: Laplace’s demon
    Laplace strongly believed in causal determinism, which is expressed in the following quote from the introduction to the Essai:

    ” We may regard the present state of the universe as the effect of its past and the cause of its future. An intellect which at a certain moment would know all forces that set nature in motion, and all positions of all items of which nature is composed, if this intellect were also vast enough to submit these data to analysis, it would embrace in a single formula the movements of the greatest bodies of the universe and those of the tiniest atom; for such an intellect nothing would be uncertain and the future just like the past would be present before its eyes.[21] ”

    This intellect is often referred to as Laplace’s demon (in the same vein as Maxwell’s demon). Note that the description of the hypothetical intellect described above by Laplace as a demon does not come from Laplace, but from later biographers: Laplace saw himself as a scientist that hoped that humanity would progress in a better scientific understanding of the world, which, if and when eventually completed, would still need a tremendous calculating power to compute it all in a single instant

    Word/Phase Request – ‘dead as a door nail’

  • danielpool

    Hello Marina i have a word request. Could you please do the word. PROPAGANDA Things are getting bad. Where do we go from here :?:

  • CampKohler

    Hey, I had that idea, too, but my example was of a room full of pingpong balls. Unfortunately, the Heisenberg principle states Mother Nature’s striction that you can know where a particle is or it’s velocity, but not both simultaneously. Therefore, even an intellect that could analize all the matter in the universe could not determine what its future state would be. If it could, then it would follow that what took place took place because that was the only possible outcome. And that would mean that we had no free will. Thus we have free will precisely because of that which cannot be precisely known.

    For your homework, go to the mall and grab a cutie by the butt. Try to get out of it by explaining that there is no free will and you grabbed him/her because that was the only thing that could possibly happen. If you get away with it, you will be the first to prove Heisenberg wrong and will win the Nobel prize (not for physics, but for extemporaneous speaking).

    Awhile back you did the origin of the word “deja vu” isn’t there another word called,”preja vu” or knowing you are going to experience deja vu before it happens?

    and If you don’t mind me asking, if I would like to make a video request, can i make that request only as a video request? because, awhile back i received a reply to a post from a fellow member that you now only reply to video requests! is that true? unfortunately for me, im unable to do so :sad:

    How about this much, much better idea. Marnia gives me editing rights to your comments and you get to edit any user comments where that user contains twenty spaces in their name. I would be so very happy to edit your comments. :evil: :lol: Yeah, now that really fits the bill.

    By the way, comparing this site to “current.com” (in terms of editing comments) is like comparing shiny apples to rotten raisins (“Current.com”).

    “Current.com” barely has any threads, most responses are way below one hundred compared to any of Marina’s video pages which get in excess of 300+ comments in any one day. “Current.com” doesn’t have the community that this site has. If I am in error, please show me the way.

    Could it have anything to do with the reputed punishment of excoriation, practised by our barbaric ancestors, for those “convicted” of such heinous crimes as Treason, Lese Majeste, and for foreign invaders captured in the acts of pillage and plunder.
    This punishment involved the accused being flayed alive and their skin nailed to a door of a public building, often a church, as an example to the common people of what they should expect if engaging in similar crimes.
    Many of such tales have been dismissed as folk legends, but that would not have prevented the tales from giving rise to a colloquial expression.

Some words have very interesting etymologies, some are simply not endowed with a rich enough history to make an appealing video. Please, PLEASE do not be discouraged! Please continue to request words, just not the same ones repeatedly, my friend.

    Till she does (or doesn’t) make a video on the subject, here a couple of cool talks on the matter:

    what kind of medicines they know and what they are used for.

    The first pupil said: ‘Tylenol?’

    ‘Very good! And what is it used for?’

    ‘It is used for a headache.’

    The second pupil said: ‘Nytol.’

    ‘Excellent!’ said Sister Catherine. ‘And what it is used for?’

    ‘To help you sleep’, replied the student.

    Now it is Johnny’s turn and he said: ‘Viagra.’

    ‘And what is it used for, Johnny?’ asked the surprised Sister Catherine.

    ‘It is used for diarrhea.’

    ‘And who told you this, Johnny?’

    ‘Nobody, but every evening my mother tells my father ‘take a Viagra, and
    maybe yuh shit will get harder.”

    David have you see this report about Poutine

  • http://www.bikengruvin.com/slide.htm Recycle-logical-1

    Hey Che Volay that was great! I enjoyed the story. I grew up in Western Canada and out there poutine has risen in popularity over the years. It is like “deluxe” fries and gravy… just add chesse. Very good “scooby” snack!

    My scariest nightmare was about Halle Berry with fangs, red glowing eyes and long grey streaked black hair…
    She also had an ugly white “baby” in her arms that looked the Fluke Man from that X-Files Episode… It also had bushy blond hair and blue eyes… It also had a mouth like a Lamprey eel…
    I had that one Four Times in the Same Night!
    What a blow out!!!!!!!!!!!

    Your video ending, with your hair bangs and glitchy video, reminded of the movie The Ring. Am I going to die later after watching that? :eek:

    How DO you manage to retain all this stuff? You’re truly amazing, Bob. While slumming some old posts in an effort to reduce the backlog of lessons that slipped past me while I battled the dark forces of academia, I ran across this posting in regard to Che’s request, [dead as a doornail].

    The link you posted here is of interest to me because one bloodline in my admittedly tangled lineage has been directly traced to the House of Essex and ostensibly to the ill-fated Earl of Essex who apparently was granted the poverbial axe by order of her majesty Queen Elizabeth I. My dad has a photocopy of the Death Warrant signed by Elizabeth that he keeps for conversation value. :shock: Gee, I’m so very proud… :roll: But I digress.

    Regardless of its true origin, I believe that the power of creative alliteration has probably played a major role in the persistence of this expression in our language over the generations. It sounds much more poetic than, say, “Dead as a fieldstone” would. “Dead as a Dane’s hide parching in the sun on the sanctuary door” just doesn’t seem to transmit quite the same verbal panache either. Thanks for bringing this bit of historic trivia to light.

    Well, what a hell of a coincidence!
    Devereux is one of my family’s names which family legend says has been passed down through the eldest son of each generation from the same Robert Devereux, 2nd Earl of Essex.
    I don’t carry the name myself as my father was a second born, but could it be that you and I are distantly related?
    Enquiring minds MUST investigate.

  • pennsyltucky9

    :!: You have got to be kidding me. My first cousin’s middle name is Devereux and he’s the eldest son. Okay, this is getting spooky.

    We’re probably more closely related than either of us imagine, if that’s the case. My uncle, father of the aforementioned cousin, was not the first born son of his generation but one of his older brothers died of polio as a youth, and I’m not positive but I’m pretty sure it was the eldest son, which leaves the gate open for speculation. This is wild.

    We may have to consult the gene genie. You know, Bob, I always had a sneaking suspicion something was terribly wrong with you. :lol: We should try to figure out a way to communicate via email.

    Yes, too bad there isn’t a private messaging facility on this site, however, now you have the privileges of a TA, you have access to Marina’s back end ( :oops: Sorry Marina, I didn’t mean it like that :lol: ) so you should be able to get my email that way. If that doesn’t work, you can get it from Captain Jack; or you could Tweet me at https://twitter.com/2486Bob.
    I handed over all my family history stuff to my sister who is researching another branch of the family, so I shall have to get it back to see if we can find a link.
    By the way, it occurs to me that Kent is a strange name for an Earl of Essex, or has it just slipped south over the years, like so many other things do? :lol:

  • http://www.youtube.com/user/CantwrCymreig Evan Owen

    Kent, did I ask you this one before?

    Essex, Wessex, and Sussex were named after (respectively) the East, West, and South Saxons. Why is there no county named after the North Saxons? Did they all die out? :wink:

    “however, now you have the privileges of a TA, you have access to Marina’s back end”

    TAs do not have backend access. There are different levels of access to the backend. I have limited access for the function of posting and some maintenance tasks.

    I’ll take care of forwarding your email as per request. :-)

    The Old Grey Mare was fighting at the front
    many long years ago.”
