Ain’t it great to be number 8 :!: :cool:

HOMEWORK: I could never surf, I can only boogie-board. We use to go boogie-boarding on the eastern shore of Oahu near, I think it is called Baker’s Air Force Base or something. Even though there were good enough waves, there was a lot of garbage lying on the beach. :neutral:

Too bad you’re number 9! :mrgreen:

Homework :cool:
Never surfed on water just on the internet.

It’s fine to be number nine! :mrgreen:

Bring her back immediately, capman.

Aloha Miss Orlova,

I live in Utah so we equate Surfing with Snow Boarding. I tried it once, I also, could not stand up :grin:

Aloha

PS I request the word Hello, Hi, Hey, What’s Up? Etc.

well .. i guess if she doesn’t acknowledge it, she isn’t interested in checking it out.

(.. sigh ..)

i give up.

Marina your the Big Kahuna around here! :cool:

Sounds like a job for the Men In Black.

:oops: you’re :mrgreen:

Miss Kahuna :smile:

Marina moi pah-druga (Phonetic Russian!!)

What is the origin of the word “quack” when used to denote a phony or inept doctor?

Love you; love the learning!

Don’t give up. :smile: Give her time.
I’m sure she has lots of things to do before
Saturday, Nov 22 You Tube Live. 5pm to 6:30pm PST.

Back when I was out it in field, during my basic training, I used my camo make-up and nearby long grass and weeds to disguise myself what I thought to be a Kahuna or some sort of Hawaiian tribesman.
I would use black around my eyes and straight down my nose to chin, and use brown all over the rest of my face. Then I would use the grass and weeds on my helmut and make it look like a giant mohawk. My drill sergeant said that I looked like a damn chipmunk! It got some giggles from my platoon. :mrgreen:

Shyt I’m probably working that day . . .

I’ve surfed in racing dinghies and catamarans, which was quite exciting, and I’ve managed to windsurf in one direction in quite a strong wind, which was extremely exciting – but turning round and coming back to the beach was too difficult.
I had to wait to get blown ashore and walk back, which was embarrassing.
At least no-one had to come out and rescue me.

Well a monk is similar to Shaman …

Surf never surfed the only time surfing along Texas beaches is when a storm blows in. To surf you have to go to where the big waves roll in.
Did skateboarding way back in the sixty’s when skateboards had steel wheels, about as close to surfing as iv’e every got except when vacationing with the family when i was a grade schooler.

Dear совершенная Marina, Yes, I surfed before. I found out it was more fun to go out in a kayak or small boat. It was just as much fun, the oar gave you more control, and it was less risky. Your dear student, seesixcm6 :razz:

about as close to surfing as iv’e every got except when vacationing with the family along the gulf coast when i was a grade schooler.

Hi thoughtonfire! Marina has already done a lesson on the word hello: http://www.hotforwords.com/2007/06/12/hello-hello-ahoy-ahoy/ :cool:

Wow your fast! :mrgreen:

I just noticed you sure seem to get back from hawaii quite often or these musings are out of order………?

We ice surf-in the great lakes :eek: Wipe out neat

I have done some body surfing in Hawii, Mexico, and Myrtle Beach SC. Never on a board.

Wow, I am :oops: …

Thanks though.

Your welcome! :wink:

Back to landscaping, stay away from fires and I will be back. Snowsurfing.vintage wipe

Homework: Surf’s up! Hella-fun! :mrgreen:
There are several good points between Dania Beach and
Pompano. We get clean waves off the Atlantic all the way
from Africa. Not as big as the ones off the Pacific, but
quite surfable when the wind is right. We have a winter
cycle, now – so it’s low rollers and massive undertow.
Perfect for body surfing – just keep your knees away from
your face when the undertow grabs ya! Owwie!
That’s where Marina should start; body surfing!
Sail through water like a ship’s figurehead!
If Marina is getting her board mount technique right, check
to be sure nobody waxed the top of your board (old trick) :mrgreen:

For Marinarussian song

I surf the internet.

Tickle torture

When I was 12 I rented a surfboard in NJ and spent all morning trying. Finally I got all the way up, and surfed all the way in. BTW, when you get close to the beach you should kick out. Otherwise the fins bottom out, the board stops, but you won’t. Trust me. :sad:

I used to be fairly good at windsurfing. On the Chesapeake Bay the waves aren’t that good but the wind is usually good enough most days.

Kowabunga.

Why is a Moo Moo dress called a Moo Moo :???:

I can’t surf, no balance or coordination.

Can’t get the vid to load. :cry:

There, I had to go to YT to watch the vid. I have never surfed nor wind surfed. We used to do everything else, though. We would boogey board, body surf, surf on a beach raft and anything else we could get in our grubby little hands.

Hi,
a lil word request that should fit with the on comming winter : Christmas

( not too shure if its writen perfectly my english aint realy good )

it gets stuck at 1:19

I’ve tried surfing, wind surfing, surf skiing and they are all a lot of fun. Also, I did a bit of couch surfing in my travels.

The Big Kahuna is also used to describe a gargantuan doobie, joint, reefer, splif, j, gagger, … etc.

It was probably coined during the ’70′s Cheech and Chong era.
Further, it also can refer to a woman who has big boobs… “Big Kahunas!”

They were originally made for cows but then they let “BIG Women” wear them. :lol:

It also is a DJ from a radio station

Koff! Koff! :cool:

Hey! Don’t Bogart that Big Kahuna! :lol:

(maybe a good title for new ch&chong movie)

Hey i wanted to know where the origin of the saying “Say Cheese” came from thanks!

surf the net all the time…but water?…nope – went tubin’ once, that was a pain ’cause the guy drivin’ the boat delighted in tryin’ to make ya fall off or turn over…

so i’ll never dangle my legs o’er a board for a shark to bite… :shock:

“Eleven Degrees-Eleven O’clock outside The Big Kahuna Fan’s… Favorite Radio Station… Now for a blast from the past!”

I see this translucent charcoal grey picture thing pop up with the jaws photo. How did you do that?

New word, Teacher! ‘Meh’: Apathetic expression enters dictionary

D’OH!

Aloha Marina,
Surfing: no, but around Seattle we have the Jan. 1 Polar Bear swim. (Isn’t that a Russian tradition too?)
WORD REQUEST: Polynesian terms: taboo (kapu); “compound” as in “village”
More “first American” terms:
In Washington State, the term for “big kahuna” is “hyas tyee” or “hyas muckamuck.” Other Chinook Jargon terms in Pacific Northwest English include “skookum” and “tillicum.”

Hey Captain Jack,
How do I add a photo like yours in place of the dorky “avatar” they give us to start with?

I’m late, I’m late for a very important date with Marina. Computer crashed again, must be a bad mother board as all the other peripherals are fairly new . So I went and got me a laptop.
Homework: No ma’am I have never tried to surf. I tried the little flat boards you skid on at the shoreline. Busted behunkus so I don’t do that any more either.

I have a word request, if that’s all right. I was wondering where the phrase “dressed to the nines” came from. Thank you!!

Marina is there any way you can add the x at the end of the cocomments thingy at the bottom of the comment box. You had it there one time before so we could close out the cocomment box if we didn’t want to get hung up or us it. Many thanks to your understanding. :grin:

Hey Penknight if you will look at the top of the page at the Word / Lesson section you find where she has already done that video. I hope you enjoy it. Or here is the short cut to it.

Is this part…. /wp-content/upl oads/2008/04/checker-tattoo-is-bloody-weird-but-cool.jpg” class=”extlink” target=”_blank”

the part that makes the photo appear in the popup picture viewer. Do I upload pic to a wordpress site or something?

I know how to link a pic that I post on one of my webpages but I would like to know how to put pic in this viewer thingamajig. hmmm?

I’ve never tried to surf. I do not think I’d be very good at it.

Hey, it would be awesome if you would do the word guitar. I always wondered its origins since I taught myself it when I was 11 and now play bass guitar in band with a cd coming out soon. If you do guitar I will stop swearing a minute each day when im not asleep (It’s a good deal i swear alot).

Photoshop? :???: Good one

Carpenter, Threshold, and the Rangus.

Welcome Melikadothechacha aka Doug :!: Hows the tarpon fishing down your way :?:

:mrgreen: Me surf? Ha! I get sea sick taking a bath so I have to take a shower. I do like watching re-runs of “Hawaii Five-O” on television. That’s about as close to the ocean as I want to get. Don’t laugh! It’s a guy thing!!

:mrgreen: Try,try again. That’s the secret!

:mrgreen: See! I told you so!! He-he!

:mrgreen: Hey,I’ve got something new for you to investigate. What does “Fat Chance” mean and how did it originate?

Grew up on the south Texas coast, so yeah, I’ve surfed. Always preferred water skiing. A speed thing, probably. Surfing the waves of Hawaii would undoubtedly be sweet, though. The Gulf just doesn’t produce waves remotely comparable. Thanks for doing what you do, Teach. Always.

Yah… what’s the difference between fat chance and slim chance?
Are they the same?

quack grass=Medussa’s Head of the poaceae family

:mrgreen: I would guesstimate that fat chance means no way ever and slim chance means maybe especially if spoken by a female to a male. But that is just my take on this. What do you think?

Im curious where the word gregarious originated from.

I’ve never surfed, but I have boogied (boogieboarded).

No, I’ve never seen the ocean, but I have tried snowboarding. I also couldn’t stand up — at least not for long.

Oh! The little thank you voice is missing again. Poo!

Marina, you have been caught making the Tourist-Pisses-Off-the-Natives mistake! You said, “…back in the States….,” but of course Hawaii is still in the States, unless Congress went nuts while you were vacationing (which I guess is more than possible, but less than probable). You should have said “Back on the mainland….” Now, to apologize, you will have to make a pilgrimage to the Kamehameha statue and kiss its feet the next time you go. And we will want a picture of you doing it. Don’t forget this or the Kahuna will shove a pineapple up… Let’s just say it won’t be pleasant. :-)

When a word derives from, say, Latin, where did they get it from? Is it lost to history? Were there Latin etymologists? Was there some big book where they recorded their new words as they entered the language? Or the old ones?

What about the word latter?

Where does that come from?

Never surfed before…

I think you’re right. The term fat is used vegetarian voluptious ventian blinds veal cutlet* vecesiously.

—-
*I knew it was one of those V words.

Easy! Check out the HELP/FAQ page and look for: “How do I get one of those cute pictures next to my comments?” :mrgreen:

Hey I live in Seattle. :wink:

I tried to find a sample contract between a Website owner and coComment to see if Marina would be unable to add the X or take other measures, but nothing like that is available on coComment.com.

As I mentioned before, it might be possible to change Word Press to leave an extra blank line at the bottom so that we can keep away from the minefield.

He didn’t mean to needle you. :-)

hmm uve never done a word ive done and i really would love if you did this one:Aperiodic or where the word bubbling or poultry or where the word tattoo comes from or even where the word dissect or a word such as gawking came from or viscous or the word freak or pina colata(spanish drink i drank in mexico) parfait(saw on a menu) or where the word math comes from please do one of these and mention my username or say tyler or both thanks!

annuddermale: When you want to show a tag example, you can substitute “& L T ;” for < and “& G T ;” for > (delete the spaces). That will display the symbol, but won’t form a tag. Example: <a href=”http://www.weirdthings.org.uk … “>tattoed man</a>.

Test (I’m doing it here, because I think the sandbox works differently.)
blank

no blank

I have discovered a couple of things about the pix.
1) The sandbox works differently than regular comments. A pix link will open in a new tab (for IE7) in the sandbox, here the pix is shown in the transparent viewer overlay.
2. For a pix, even if you leave the target attribute out of the anchor tag, Word Press will put it in as _blank. Or if you use another value for the target, Word Press will change it to _blank. So you can just omit it. This does not happen for a .txt file.
3. As Word Press uses the viewer only when a pix is a link, it obviously is looking at the file type.

Just out of curiosity, if you view a .txt file online with your browser, it displays it even though it is not HTML (View Source shows not a single tag in it). How does that work?

Recycle: That kind of remark is liable to get you a pipe-bomb in your mailbox. :shock:

Che: If you spelled it differently, you’d find it at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muumuu.

Unfortunately Marina would suffer poor sailing qualities (excessive drag) from the continuous deployment of her “sea anchors.”

Mr. Greg A. Rious, of Cucamonga, is credited with being the first person in the history of the California Dept. of Motor Vehicles to accidentally have his name printed on his driver’s license with no spaces in it.

It’s true, I tell you.

Frooty booty.

Fruity booty.

I have never surfed.

Did you say “another mistery solved by your busty teacher”? :twisted:

The only surfing I do is surfing the ‘net. :lol:

Word Requests:

1. Cojones. (Does the big Kahuna have the biggest Cojones? :?: :smile: )

2. Incognito.

Thanks Marina!

Eric M

how about the word “THRIFTY” since the word is often used in my home country.

We KNOW why you couldn’t stand up on the board and we love you for it! Just curious – who is the lucky guy taking the vid of you in Hawaii?

For your homework assignment many folks answered that they “surfed” the net. Any idea where that term came from? Doesn’t seem to have any connection to actual surfing. More of a connection to golf – “playing the links”, don’t you think?

Hi, I was wondering where the word “TALLY-HO” came from. I hear it all the time on old British war films with pilots in them.

Thanks

Hi checmark, we are still in luck. :grin:
It wasn’t a guy taking the vid. It was her girlfriend.

So, we have uber-TA, Captain Jack,
Capman, Pkarl and ChaCha, right? Can I get a roll call of all the TA’s to know who they are, and express our appreciation for all they do to keep things going here at HFW?

Special “Thank you”s to you all! :grin:

Ciao,
Fianchetto

i’d like to know the origin of the word “entourage”

Hi Marina!

I envy the sunny southern California lifestyle and your trip to the beaches of Hawaii. It all looks so warm. In the meanwhile, I am sipping hot chocolate in the cold northeast. There is something floating in my cocoa. It’s white, gooey and sweet. So what’s the origin of the word: marshmallow???

Cold and getting colder, Q

Out in your area… way back when the Spanish were sailing around and naming things like Juan De Fuca Strait… and such… the Native Indians had to find a way to protect themselves from conquer. When there was a red tide they would collect all the noxious/poisonous clams they could find.
They would put them in a pot and cook the mix down into a paste. The Indian women would put the paste on the end of a stick.

When the Spanish noticed the women they got excited… especially because they were out in the water exposing their bare breasts. When the sailors jumped into the sea to meet the women… they would get stabbed. I thought this was very clever. :shock:

I do believe that I made an erroneous answer. Upon recent further investigation, I found that there is no history of cows wearing dresses. That said/written, I would ask that the comment be stricken from the official record. I am sorry. :oops:

Judges mallet… boom boom… request approved! :mrgreen:

this is a test…
recycle your bicycle

David it was my spelling of Muumuu that sent you in the wrong direction. In my defense I did Google Moo Moo and got dresses. :smile:

Turtles are large and bulbous, too! :mrgreen:
Surprisingly, they’re among the best swimmers.

Is this a pop quiz :???:

Marina the word MAKEUP has so many uses that I wandered how it came in to common useage

Request : PIECE OF CAKE

What exactly is supposed to be easy when talking about cake? It’s certainly not easy to make, and it’s not very easy on the calories either. So actually, it’s not easy at all… Then where did the expression come from?
Thanks :)

Out of order.

You Probably couldnt stand up while surfing, as you were over ballanced by your own “Big Kahuna’s” :wink: :shock: :twisted:

Aloha Marina,

I recently vacationed in Hawaii too and had a great time.

For some time I’ve wondered about the expression “all told”. It seems to me that there are apostrophes missing: Shouldn’t it be “all to’l'd” since the meaning is all totalled rather than all said? I can understand why they might have been dropped in usage since they’re inconvenient to write and unattractive in print. Please let me know the story about this.

Your student,

PhiloPhan

Марина, when I lived in California, I tried 2 sports – surfing and alpine skiing. I was not successful at picking up the surfing, but was very successful at skiing, and it is my favorite sport.

Hey guys I’m in an Apple store messing around on a Mac Pro with a 30 inch screen. See ya later :grin:

Is it just computer screen or do replies come in a blue box now? :shock:

replies are in blue box

aquatic sports…. no, i’m very bad on them. But i enjoy the sea and the beach.
may be this request could be pretty obvious but. “overseas” what is the origin of it?

That bring out the meaning of ‘Song of the Sirens’.

I don’t think i’v ever even seen a surfboard in real life….. why would anyone even have one here in the Netherlands… :lol:

Marina, Since John, my #1 mechanic gets to watch your new lessons now before I do. He said “I like what Marina was wearing today, much better than the workout wear”… “It’s classy”.

Hi Marina!

Oh, my only surfing experience was on that beach @ Waikiki.
Enticed by a lovely, floral bikini clad, poleniesian surfing instructor… surfboard standing proadly by her side… the sun caressing her smooth brown skin, as little water droplets were glistening like little round diamonds on her back… Oh my. I see that vision again.
Anyways as my new wife sat laughing on the beach, I braved the wild surf (little waves like the one that knocked Marina over in the other vid) and took my first & only surfing lesson. My only surfing experience was good. I paid attention to my gorgeous instructor, hanging (10) on every word of wisdom that fell from her honey glazed lips… worked my tail off paddling out & then worked just as hard or harder to get up to the speed of the wave that was throwing itself, in a feat of hellbent self destruction, towards the waiting, unforgiving shore. Just as I was about to give up on yet another wave, I gripped the board & as per insruction, in one quick motion I arose & planted my feet firmly on the board beneath me. Miracle of Miracles, I felt like St Peter must have felt, the water was below my feet & I stood confidently, like a newborn colt, on a board that was hurtling towards the shore. A beach full of people, including the love of my life, seemed oblivious to this, what felt like the greatest achievemnt of my life. In the end I was humbled, as stepping off a plank, made unstable by curling, foaming water & traveling at just below mach speed, could not be done gracefully, especialy the first time attempted. Needless to say I stayed on the board too long & crashed on the beach with nary a cushion of water to come between me & the unforgiving, hard packed sand. I still to this day can’t figure out why it was, that evening my wife failed to pity me & my bruised, sunburnt body. Cold showers in Hawaii, remembered.

My word request is for a very simple word, the word “fast”. What I don’t understand is religious people have been known to fast for long periods of time. However today we say Michael Phelps is so fast he is the fasted swimmer on earth. How can such a small word have two completely different meanings?

Chiselstone

I second that.

Get ready for the next vid…..

where did the term IOU originate? :idea: :?:

Hi James!

My names John Im not your mechanic and i Liked how she dressed when she lived in her old place, and your story is a sad attempt for sympathy you won’t be getting from me.

I have a soft spot in my heart for all things Hawaiian. Thank you, Marina, for bringing us li’l bits of Hawaii.

Now that we have this foundation in Hawaiian culture, a logical next step is to read Hunter S. Thompson’s “The Curse of Lono”, a book about Hawaii, and Thompson’s & Steadman’s nightmarish experiences while on assignment.

But…if you’re new to Thompson, you had better read “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas” first. It’s a short book. You can knock it out in a couple of sit downs. It’s possibly the funniest book ever written, and a must read. (You can get it used at Amazon for the price of a pack of cigarettes.)

On the construction site, when a cylinder of Nitrogen or Argon gets empty, the protocol is to screw the cap on the cylinder and slap a piece of duck tape near the top and write the letters, “MT”, on the tape. An apprentice asked me what “MT” stood for. I didn’t tell him. I knew it would dawn on him if he thought about it. It’s one of those puzzle thingies in life, and it would be a shame to spoil it for him.

english fox hunters perhaps.

Katrina and the press

Pic Source

We recall the female reporter sitting in a rowboat
making her televised report as two men walk past
her in rubber boots in less than a foot of water.
We might also remember the reports of lawlessness,
including rape, that the press quietly acknowledged
later as rumor. Below, in purple, is a an accounting of
what the government got right, which the press missed.

The National Guard had its headquarters for Katrina,
not just a few peacekeeping troops, in what the media
portrayed as the pit of Hell. Hell was one of the safest
places to be in New Orleans, smelly as it was.
The situation was always under control, not surprisingly
because the people in control were always there.

From the Dome, the Louisiana Guard’s main command
ran at least 2,500 troops who rode out the storm inside
the city, a dozen emergency shelters, 200-plus boats,
dozens of high-water vehicles, 150 helicopters, and a
triage and medical center that handled up to 5,000
patients (and delivered 7 babies). The Guard command
headquarters also coordinated efforts of the police,
firefighters and scores of volunteers after the storm
knocked out local radio, as well as other regular military
and other state Guard units.

Jack Harrison, a spokesman for the National Guard
Bureau in Arlington, Virginia, cited “10,244 sorties
flown, 88,181 passengers moved, 18,834 cargo tons
hauled, 17,411 saves” by air. Unlike the politicians,
they had a working chain of command that
commandeered more relief aid from other Guard units
outside the state. From day one.

There were problems, true: FEMA melted down.
Political leaders, from the Mayor to Governor to the
White House, showed “A Failure of Initiative”, as a
recent House report put it. That report, along with
sharply critical studies by the White House and the
Senate, delve into the myriad of breakdowns, shortages
and miscommunications that hampered relief efforts.

Still, by focusing on the part of the glass that was
half-empty, the national media imposed a near total
blackout on the nerve center of what may have been
the largest, most successful aerial search and rescue
operation in history. Source

This was my ex wifes name Katrina, and it just happened on our honeymoon a Hurricane blew in on the gulf coast this was 1980, and my left foot was in a cast.

Katrina her was your 15min of fame, goodbye.

Hey thanks for reading it, no sympathy desired, it happened in about 1983. How Marina dresses for her vids is her business, & yes change happens… would be boring if every video was the same… well in M’s case, not boring but repetitive.

You fly, you should try this, very carefully though.

And submarines that are football-shaped go faster underwater than they do on the surface. What we might be dealing with here are protuberances on the basic shape that interfere with the smooth flow around the shape. Perhaps I should bring some of my base-ten digital shape-analysis probes* by Marina’s and do a rigorous study to settle the question.

—-
*Five on each hand. :wink:

WLIU, perhaps told is correct and not totalled. Maybe the phrase is shortened from “after all is told,” meaning after everything is known. This would be like “the proof is in the pudding” is a shortening* of “the proof is in the eating of the pudding,” as taught in a previous lesson. So, if you’ve just bought a brand new box of apostrophes at WalMart and you are aching to sprinkle them around, I suppose (if my guess is right about the phrase) you could say ” ‘ all ‘ told.” But that’s a bit messy and not very satisfying, is it?

—-
*Margerine or butter may be substituted in your pudding recipe. :lol:

I don’t think care is enough. When you undertake something in which a failure (even if rarely-occuring one) can result in death, then IMHO it should be avoided altogether. I would never jump out of a perfectly good airplane (PGA) for that reason. There are all kinds of things that can happen to an airplane, almost all of them allow you to descend to the earth in a safe (if exciting) manner. But parashutes can desert you in an instant and you have relatively little time to prepare a recovery plan, put it into action, and, if it doesn’t fix things, write a goodbye letter. And then the damned pen won’t work.

Oh, yeah, I remember him — St. Peter, surfer dude!

Maybe one of the reasons you weren’t pitied back at the hotel was that your wife noticed your uhm, nature studies (glistening water droplets, honey-glazed lips and the like). :roll:

You spend much time on the “salt chuck”?

The web , yes . The sea , no . I don’t get to go to the sea much to like surfing , and I can’t find any shops selling surfboards in Malaysia . BTW you either get small waves or a tsunami here , not good for surfing

Didn’t know what or who the big kahuna was until now. Thanks for the video Marina!!

All this Hawaiian stuff sort of reminds me of This slightly Hawaiian song by The Offspring called Da Hui

(The moral of this song? Don’t f*ck with Da Hui) ;)

@ stokesjrj1

Mo’ tape? Ha-ha, that’s funny (snark) :lol: , but seriously…

That labeling system has been refined and perfected, being the quickest, most self-explanatory way of indicating the “empty status of the cylinders”, that any deviation would be a profitless regression. If perhaps the abbreviation “MT” were to be written out long hand, then handwriting problems would inevitably surface due to the natural haste in the work environment, (although construction workers usually have better handwriting than say…doctors). It’s easier to visually identify 2 letters than a hand written (or scribbled) word, which might even get misspelled, causing confusion and mis-identification which would cost time, and time is money. Try explaining to a welder, if you sent a cylinder via a thousand dollar/hour crane to the top of a building just to find out it was an empty cylinder. In fact, the convention of labeling empty cylinders is so perfect ‘n’ easy, that for the one in 75 hundred English speaking people who can’t figure it out, it provides a source of entertainment for the rest of us monkeys. It reminds me of the 2000 Florida election, when it was complained that the ballots were too complicated. There’s a problem there, no doubt, but it might not be the ballots.

I wrote that? I don’t even remember. I don’t understand your reference to fame, but I like the long response, at any rate.

Oh :!: I realized the source just as i pressed the submit comment button. Thanks for the flashback.

Here why i said more “tape”, the federal government in essence owns all pressure cylinders of these types so to return them to get full one means more “red” tape. We only get to legally rent them legally.

Marina,

I love to Surf. Have you ever tried snowboarding?

PJ

Ah that swimsuit was awesome! :shock: :mrgreen:
Or its not about the swimsuit)

anyway, more blue swimsuit!

I have not surfed but I have seen someone surf. :grin:

i think the origin predates the hawaiians. “kahuna” is a variation on the word “kohen” (pronounced “ko-hain”) which is a hebrew word for priest. the priestly class consisted of the first “high priest” aaron, brother of moses, and his progeny. in hebrew “high priest” is “kohen gadol”. the word “gadol” in hebrew is an adjective meaning big, great, and large. the term was introduced to the hawaiians by christian missionaries and appropriated by the hawaiian priests. the hawaiians could not pronounce “kohen” so it became kahuna.

[random] for a friend…The number one sport here of the “Great Lakes” is surfing!!!
