    Homework: Mahi Mahi (GOOD fishy! YUM!) :grin:
    That’s my favorite to go look for 15 miles
    out off Marathon Key. They tend to ride the
    currents and school there. Best catch was
    172 lbs in one day! It’s hit-and-miss, though.
    Sharks can bugger things up but good. Then
    all you get are fish heads. Barracuda, bonitas,
    amberjacks and bowfin tuna are also common
    to catch when fishing out there for dolphin. :mrgreen:
    Bait is easy – frozen squid works good.
    If I find a school, I’ll get one on a line and
    trawl him around (the school follows).
    The biggest one I caught was 33 lbs.
    When we get ‘em aboard – it’s right into the
    ice with them. 70% of this fish is edible (filet).
    Real easy to gut and clean. The ice makes the
    skin peel off in a clean sheet.

  • http://uk.youtube.com/user/jamesingtonthethird James

    Can you also help me out please Marina? Can you reply (or email me whichever easiest) and tell me how you managed to get your video to 16:9 format I tried it and i can only , make it work with titles? Does this mean if I want widescreen I will have to go and buy an HD camcorder? :evil: :evil:

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

    The fish or shrimp tacos in San Felipe Mexico is a favorite
    { warning don’t eat from a street vendor who cooks the fish
    in manteca (pig lard) }

    { Che had a bad experience while stuck in traffic }

    the time it takes from putting the greasy taco in your mouth until it is ready to shoot out of you is equal to the time it takes to drive from San Felipe to border traffic

    Congrats on #1 (TWICE!)
    Oily fish (bluefish, amberjack, etc.)
    can be tempered to taste better if
    you broil or grill ‘em and use a sauce
    made with lemons, butter and cashews
    applied while cooking. I’m not big on
    salmon, either – like you, I like white fish :mrgreen:

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

    Homework:
    1. Gravad Laks. (Scandinavian Pickled Salmon with a Sweet Mustard and Dill sauce. Heavenly.)
    2. Smoked Scottish Salmon.
    3. Baked Icelandic Cod with a good Burgundy. (“What?” I hear you say, “Red wine with fish?!!!” Oh! yes. with white fish it’s fine.)
    4. Any kind of Sushi. (More heaven on a plate.)
    5. Steamed Sea Bass on a bed of shredded Ginger, peppers and spring onions and covered with a Palm sugar, brown bean, Ginger sauce. (Nirvana.) :smile:

    Make your video 640×360 and you’ll get widescreen that way. You can just cut the top and bottom off of 640×480 footage if you want and that way you don’t have to buy an HD camera.

    Dear совершенная Marina, You are very beautiful in that purple dress! :smile:
    I’ve never eaten Mahi-mahi. I think it has to be shipped here from Hawaii, so it’s kind of expensive. To answer your question, my favorite fish is tuna. It’s available everywhere, here. I enjoy the white albacore tuna fillets. Salmon is also good and it has many healthy fish oils. :grin:
    I hope you have a nice Thanksgiving on Thursday. I’m thankful that I get to see your videos. :razz:
    Soon, I’ll elaborate on my word request: double entendre.
    Your dear student, seesixcm6

  • thoughtonfire

    Dear Miss Marina Orlova,

    I loved this lesson. Mahimahi, never tried it. I eat salmon often though and I know that it is considered a superfood. Next is tuna, I like tuna sandwhiches and tuna subs from subway. And then lobster, crab, and shrimp. Mahimahi sounds pretty good though. I wonder if it has a strong strong taste?

    I request the word: Shampoo. I was at work at Walgreens today, putting away a hair product, and I was wondering about how cool Shampoo is. It’s fun to say: Shampoo

    Your Beloved Student,

    Sushi Night!!!! :razz:

  • hoodster

    Hey!

    I have another word request…

    Since it is almost Thanksgiving, I thought it would be relevent to pick a word that relates to this holiday. The word is cornucopia. I know it is a thing (some) people put vegitables and dried fruit in, but why is it called a cornucopia. It is not made out of corn, and corn certainly does not cope with it. Could it possibly do something with Greek mythology (hint, hint)…

    Thanks for everything! :mrgreen:

    Hoodster

  • thoughtonfire

    You should buy her one and send it to her for christmas. :mrgreen:

  • imbored88

    Hey Marina one of my friends got in trouble today and the teacher said that he was acrasia could you make a video telling me what the hell that means :mrgreen:

  • hoodster

    And I almost forgot to do my homework….I LOVE sushi…all kinds, but my favorite it tuna!!!

    Maybe you could do a future lesson on sushi…

    Where does it come from? Hawaii or Japan? I don’t know….

    Thanks a lot!

    Hoodster

  • thoughtonfire

    I so ordered your calendar. I am crossing out days until it’s arrival on my imaginary non-existent pseudo really quite inaccurate calendar on my wall…

    but I like Haddock also

  • thoughtonfire

    Man, I am so hungry for sushi tonight.

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

    The repetition of Mahi Mahi made me think of this song In The Air Tonight – Phil Collins

  • seesixcm6

    Hmmm. I sent Marina a proposed script for “double entendre” (I offered it for free), bit I had to send two messages because of a 1,000 character limit. Heck, many of the messages left here exceed 1,000 characters. (BTW, 1 kilobyte is 1,024 characters, isn’t it?)

    A number of years ago I was a cook at a restaurant next to the ocean in Maui. We featured Mahi Mahi, Ono and Ahi and cooked it over a hot grill using Mesquite charcoal… awesome! This Hawaiian fisherman would come by to sell us 8 foot tunas. It was really neat… we’d cut it up into a lot of steaks/filets and also make Japanese sashimi… (thinly sliced raw tuna served with hot Wasabi mustard and soy sauce… yum yum!)

    I really like Kokanee (fresh water Salmon) and Pacific Sockeye Salmon.

  • leonard

    Laugh at me: I think canned salmon is excellent made into salad seafood sandwich and nothing beats apple wood smoked salmon. the Flipper thing kept me from trying Mahi Mahi :oops: Oh—if anyone cares, Marina makes chicken soup,right!—I just found out and ate “chicken soup cheese” real good :???: anyway this place, the best farmer caraway cheese

  • http://omegafinal.newgrounds.com avalonknight

    I’ve had it once, and it was nice and chewy. I don’t have a favorite fish; but I would order some kind of bass at Chinese restaurants, or salmon at places like Friday’s and Applebee’s.

  • http://bikengruvin.blogspot.com Recycle-Logical-1

    Ahi is Hawaiian for yellow-fin tuna and Ono is blue-fin mackerel aka Wahoo.
    A friend said these fish are great BBQ’d along with big chunks of fresh BBQ’d pineapple and eaten off the bare naked belly of a Hawaiian Hula dancer who is laying down on a banana leaf covered table… oh yah… and along with a couple of jugs of Mai Tai’s and some Bongo music. :shock:

  • http://hotmail player

    Hello Marina,
    That was very interesting about the mahimahi. We don’t have
    the mahimahi in New Zealand, but many different varieties.
    My favourite would have to be the orange roughy, though I like
    seafood of many different varieties.

  • http://calling-muggins.blogspot.com/ muggins

    I like Mahi Mahi. I s’pose I like catfish the best. In my experience, it’s not so much the type of fish, but the dish that it’s in. Bouillia….I’ll have to google this to find out how to spell it, be right back (tick-tock, tick-tock, tic)… boulliabaise, is my favorite seafood dish. Better than sex.

  • CampKohler

    Last of the Hawaiian series, huh? I knew that wouldn’t last very long! :???:

    If people were worried that dolphinfish were dolphins, why didn’t they just call it not-dolphinfish?

    I won’t eat anything that lives in water. Yuk. The only exception is tuna that comes from the can. I guess it’s because I grew up eating it and it doesn’t seem like fish to me. (Hold it guys. I know what you’re going to say — I should call it not-tuna fish. I’m good with that.)

    Addendum-
    I remember the first time I left Hawaii. Got on a jet and in no time was in Los Angeles. Wow, how grey that town is. In Hawaii, the blues are bluer, and the greens greener. Even though you don’t want to go back, you find yourself thinking about going back to Hawaii.

    Marina,

    Thanks for the insight on MahiMahi. As a scuba diver, that was an interesting bit of information.

    On another note, I have been wondering for some time what the origin is of the word “COCKTAIL.” I have my own opinion, but I am curious what you would discover.

    Let me know.

    To my HFW classmates: A poll
    Stokesjrj1 aka John aka school_dean_hot.4.u
    aka ??? has wanted your attention for sooo
    long, it’s time for a change. :mrgreen:
    Give us your opinion of what you think of
    this individual. Should Marina pull the plug
    (as YouTube already has) to relieve us all
    of the mindless dribble and rude inuendos?
    There may be no cure for his problem.
    Must we all continue to be made subject
    to his dementia? What do you think…?

    big heave ho! The joke’s on you :grin:

  • CampKohler

    OK, I think I figured this out. If you type a smiley’s alternate, e.g.  :smile: (instead of clicking the icon), it works only if there is nothing on either side of it but a space. Any character adjacent the alt. causes Word Press (“WP”) to ignore the alt. Another mystery solved by your trusty Hotforweirdcrap.

    What set me off on this distraction was the  :roll: alt. that appeared amongst John’s collection of smileys. Why wasn’t the alt. converted to the icon by WP? It was because John typed the HTML entity for a space right next to it, without a space intervening, like this: ” +nbsp;:roll: ” (the & was replaced by a + in this example so you can see it). If he had typed a space (vs. the HTML entity for it) between the two, the alt. would have been converted to a smiley as (I assume) he had intended.

    The rule of no adjacent characters (and here we have to consider a space to be a non-character) also applies to emoticons, e.g. “:-)”. There must be a space on either side in order for Word Press to translate them into a smiley. Too, it must be one WP recognizes; WP does not recognize all emoticons. There may not be an emoticon for every WP smiley, or maybe I just don’t know what they are. For example, I found that an 8 draws sunglasses, but I don’t know what draws the cat’s ears.

    I suppose I should thank John for this quest. I suppose… :???:
    Shall we ask him just what he was doing in the first place?

    I don’t know about Houston on any kind of day, but even if future jet travel cuts flight time down to a 5th of present time it takes to fly, the airport drudgery will have to be shortened, too. I foresee arriving at the airport with only a carry-on bag, and stepping on some sort of individual tramway that not only shunts you to your terminal but with a computer, checks you in, scans you for weapons, bombs and contraband, tells you whether you can upgrade to first class seating, and processes your credit card.

    James, read Marina’s comment again.
    I think you didn’t read it.

    Marina said: “Make your video 640×360
    You said: “…but I have always used 648X480.”

    What Marina said is correct.

    If you want to know how she came up with the number, it is all about ratios.

    Std video: 4×3 = 1.3333
    is equal to 640×480 = 1.3333

    Wide Screen: 16×9 = 1.7777
    Therefore, you need to tweek one of
    the 4×3 numbers to get the Wide Screen ratio.
    640 divided by 1.7777 yields 360

    So, make sure you set your project size to 640×360.
    Then trim you video to remove the black bands.
    Then, render the video to the same size, 640×360.

    CampKohler – Free speech only gives you certain rights, y’know. It is a responsibility. Try going into a movie theater and yelling “Fire” and you WILL be arrested. Talk about bombs at the airport and you WILL be arrested. By being in a public forum, and being disruptive, you WILL find there are those who assert that freedom of speech does NOT give you the right to mess with people for your own selfish amusement.
    .
    koalabear – We recently went around in circles fretting and stewing over what to do about another person who was being disruptive (for their own amusement – “What to do? Oh, what to do!”). The Mad Tea party analogy was in the thread. Decisive action was finally talen and the problem was resolved. The good of the many outweighs the good of the few, or the one; especially when “the one” is being an ass.
    I did get a hoot out of CampKohler’s reference to the Wizard of Oz (hiding behind the curtain – either unable or unwilling to act). Do nothing and more anarchy will follow. Imagine this site with four or five more “John”-types, and another dozen, like me; all going back and forth. I’m here for Marina’s class, not to continually deal with some fool’s noise. Look at all the noise this guy has bred and ask yourself; where does it stop? Peace! [I'll get off my soapbox, now]

    I am NOT an expert; but I had heard that sharks were being studied because they do not get cancer. I am not aware of any findings that eating shark could decrease your cancer risk.

    When computers were first introduced to the engineering field, timelines sped up as the shift from handmade drawings to CAD was adopted. One old timer I worked for was having difficulty adjusting and would repeatedly say “I am surrounded by saboteurs and assassins”. He developed many paranoid quirks. Built a little shrine to his outdated slide rule; mumbled to himself A LOT. John is going through this quirky behaviour…
    I guess being a well digger makes you crazy after awhile…

    The oil content is higher, the taste is more rich than an Atlantic salmon, my ‘rich’ I mean harder to digest.
    The Pacific water is colder that the Atlantic in general, maybe you’re so far North it makes no difference.
    Would it make sense that the colder the water the more fat in the fish, if fish really do have fat? Then if they do would not it be in the oil content?

    My favorite local fishes to eat are Trout and Walleye with Bass(Laregemouth and Smallies)running in 3rd place,bringing up the rear would be Northern Pike.

    My favorite local fish to catch is big Northern Pike,they can put up a helluva fight when longer than My left arm.

    At 3AM We were out on road tour(20 years ago)and went to a restaurant to have trout for breakfast,it was expensive but very very good. My drunken friends and I were exceptionally well behaved that night,I was proud.

    Mahimahi…

    Unfortunately, I’ve never tasted it due to my geographical location, but I have a strong feeling that I’ll like it.

    Journey to the fish…

    As a guy who grew up and loved fish, I like a huge variety of seafood and have a hard time pinpointing a single favorite. If there’s one thing we have in common, Marina, it’s our love for Salmon. I not too fussed about how exactly it’s cooked so long as it ends up tasting good, but I do prefer sashimi when available.

    I gues that would make sence… pacific salmon only go back to their spawning place ones in the their lifetime and then they’ll die. So they use the fat as a food reserve and don’t eat anything when they’re in fresh water. atlantic salmons don’t do that, so maybe that’s why they’re(pacific) fatter……. But it’s almost impossible to get WILD atlantic salmon in the US, cus they’re considered an endangered species or you must be some native fisherman or something like that.
    oil is fat…. I catch my salmon In lapland (north of Finland) near the polar circle, so it’s pretty cold there :wink:

    Fun lesson;

    When making babies is it true that “Ya gotta go deep to make boys”? My son is curious.

  • orion_ss1

    I don’t see the relationship between the questions.

    I would argue that a freedom fighter should fight in his/her homeland to repel invaders. Attacking/bombing your own people to prevent them from voting is NOT freedom fighting no matter were you are.

    Using a hijacked commercial airliner with women and children on board as a fuel filled missile is NOT freedom fighting; it is terrorism pure and simple.

    When ‘freedom fighters’ employ terror tactics they may seem to get closer to their goal, but they never seem to ask themselves what will happen if they seem to succeed, and the new ‘freedom fighters’ use the same tactics. I would argue that it is then the responsibility of the people to expose the known terrorists to break the cycle. The heroes of Flight 93 were true freedom fighters ( and though they might not have had ANY experience, they WERE the militia as described in the Constitution ).

    Orion, shipmate, please do not get me wrong. I am not apologizing for terrorists, nor acts of terror. I do believe, though, that it is often to easy to confuse the two groups based solely upon which side they are on. We use different terminology depending upon which side we are discussing. We use terms such as “shock and awe,” or phrases such as “discouraging home front moral.” My goal, here, is simply to question our own tactics to make sure that I believe we are acting properly. “Question” is the key; I did not say condemn nor approve.

    I’m glad you cleared up weather one would eat dolphin. They’re special. Marina, you mentioned the TV program, Flipper, as if you were familiar with it. Did it play in Russia?

    My favorite fish? Lake Erie Perch, not Ocean Pearch. Yumm! There is a small restaurant that serves “all you can eat” Lake Erie Perch. I couldn’t find it on the Internet, but it is on Marblehead Point on the Sandusky Bay / Lake Erie shore. If you get a chance for a summer vacation, I would suggest Cedar Point Amusement Park for thrills. Marblehead is across the bay and you can take a water taxi to there. There are fun islands to visit including wineries, as well.

    Madam, you have between your legs an instrument capable of giving the greatest pleasure to thousands–and all you can do is sit there and scratch it.

    No offense taken. It is always appropriate for citizens to question tactics and motives; it isn’t so much a right as it should be a responsibility.

    Landing troops on foreign soil should always give one pause. Its a crying shame Congress never got around to declaring the war. We were attacked, and the first Gulf War never really ended ( that would be hard since it too was never actually declared ) the argument could be made that we were defending American interests ( this sound callous, but look at the upheaval over the recent gas price increases; we DO have an interest in Iraq, and Afghanistan is were bin Laden had his base – yes I know he is a Saudi citizen – with friends like the Saudis we don’t need enemies ).

    There are other ways of seeing to our interests; methods which do not put American armed forces in harm’s way; which was the basis for my original question: What is the difference between a pirate and a privateer. A pirate is serving his own interests. A privateer has a license ( a Letter of Marque and Reprisal; mentioned in the Constitution ) to conduct what may seem like piracy to some but with restrictions ad with oversight. The issue of such a letter to mercenaries could protect our interests without putting the lives and safety of our military ( whose members don’t have the ability to opt out – many are actually being involuntarily extended, which would be okay in time of war, but as I mentioned, we have NOT declared war ).

    I find these kinds of responses such fascinating glimpses into the human psyche. I’m sure Tryant, you are no more a tyrant than you are a psychopath. It’s often difficult to bring our lives into congruence with our deepest values, when society has conditioned us to live in a manner that is inconsistent with our compassionate values. Comments of indiscriminate killing can be a reflection of such cognitive dissonance.

    There is a reason humans have a taste for flesh,namely,”evolution”. Somewhere down the line folks had to eat meat to survive and continue their genetic contribution,just like many other organisms. If Man wasn’t capable of “higher thinking then there would be few Vegans of the “by choice” variety.

    I was still in the Navy for the first Gulf war. The trouble most had was seeing how Saddam thought he could win what was obviously an unwinnable war. The disconnect was that Saddam didn’t think he needed to win; just to make himself look strong by standing up to us, would make us look weaker. That wouldn’t seem to you or me to be a victory for him, but that’s what he wanted. He also was not handicapped by having to honor anything he himself promised. It is also interesting to note he hated many of his own citizens even more than he hated the US.

    Wars will probably NEVER be be completely prevented by diplomacy. Diplomacy only works between rational people. When someone believes he ( or she ) is destined to be a leader, nothing short of a bullet ( or similar ordnance ) will dissuade him. No amount of lost lives will be important because he is not rational. No cost is too high because he won’t ( directly ) pay it. Those who die on his behalf will be promised anything ( 72 virgins is always popular ) but they will rarely get what they think they deserve ( do you believe the 9/11 terrorists are in heaven with any number of virgins ? ).

    Diplomacy often works well with rational people and should be the first thing tried. When it doesn’t work, a war is almost always inevitable, and rational people will die fighting irrational people.

I guess its so they can get you to stop buying fish and buy cow or other meats. Its a war out there folks. :neutral: Check out http://www.mercuryfacts.org for more information. So I will continue to eat fish for I believe the omega 3s are well worth it. :mrgreen: I just wish people would stop the real source of pollution. Run off… :cry:

    CampKhler – It’s easy to be a pacifist
    about this, I know. Ignore is the first
    two sylables in the word ignorant.
    At some point, you will realize that
    taking a stand is important. Sooner
    or latter, it’s the innocent bystander
    who will suffer for it. Words do matter.
    We are here because words do matter.
    Ignoring a problem doesn’t make it
    “all better”, sorry to tell you…
    Some people have mental illness for
    which there is no cure. He is of that
    type. He goes after anyone and even
    has taken cheap shots at Marina.
    If you feel comfortable standing by
    and doing nothing – so be it. I’ve
    seen too many examples of John’s
    behaviour to know he will never tire
    in providing us all with more and more
    until the proper steps to resolve the
    issue at large are approved from on
    high (Marina). We have lost Buzzword
    and aLx already from this crap…
    Who will be next? It has to stop…
    …or we will still be having this discussion
    through all the upcoming Holidays and
    into the unforeseen future. This one
    has been going on (more or less) since
    before Mother’s Day!! Read up on it
    Oh, by the way – Happy Thanksgiving!
    I know you are a fairly recent addition to
    the class so you don’t understand fully
    what is going on. Appeasement is the
    course you are willing to take, and it
    compromises everyone here to do that.
    When you do your reading,count for me
    the number of times since early May we
    have tried to be reasonable about this
    guy. I’ve lost count so I’m not able to
    look at it objectively anymore. Peace NOW!

    I feel you; what you say is true. Mad men
    and mad dogs are beyond control.
    The answer lies in what you have said,
    it only needs to be done. :mrgreen:
    ..and this goes for the next one, too!
    It can be done, the question is (since
    it has lost us aLx and Buzzword and
    others unknown to us) how much more
    damage will be done before it stops? :mrgreen:

    How about the word Manhandle. It is somewhat obvious, but I would like to know when it came into modern usage. Being such a gender laden word, I wonder what the future holds for the word in our increasingly politically correct society.

  • thetigtig

    Hi Marina,I have a special request for you.It is a conumdrum that has plagued mankind for forty years.There are endless blogs on this subject.What,in your opinion,is the meaning of the phrase “A whiter shade of pale” as heard in Procol Harum’s 1967 hit of the same name.This could really use a new set of eyes and I can think of no better set than yours!C’mon everyone help me out here.The lyrics,minus the last two versus(only performed live)are as follows:
    “We skipped the light fandango turned cartwheels ‘cross the floor
    I was feeling kinda seasick but the crowd called out for more
    the room was humming harder as the ceiling flew away
    when we called out for another drink the waiter brought a tray
    And so it was later as the miller told his tale
    that her face,at first just ghostly,turned a whiter shade of pale
    She said “There is no reason and the truth is plain to see”
    but I wandered though my playing cards and would not let her be
    One of sixteen vestal virgins who were leaving for the coast
    and although my eyes were open they might have just as well’ve been closed.”
    Please note the “miller” verse has been perfomed as “the mirror told it’s tale”.I have read everything from it’s about cocaine to death to the Titantic or getting a girl drunk and having your way with her.I would love to see you investigate this and give your opinion.This may require a long lesson and I for one will be more than willing to sit through it,anyboby else?Help….please!!!

    conundrum….my bad

  • http://www.youtube.com/user/bsomebody13 bsomebody

    I do not know if this applies to Procol Harum or not. (Did he actually write the song, or just perform it?) I used to spend alot of time and energy trying to interpret many U2 songs. I found out years later, that Bono put most of his emphasis on the sound of the words, the metre, the poetic quality. He admitted that many of the songs began with an idea, but his writing soon left that and headed towards an accidentally nonsensical track. Bono claims he did not truly understand how to write lyrics until he spent some time with Bob Dylan in the late 1990s. I also know that the Beatles, especially John, would often intentionally write nonsensical lyrics, just to rebel in their own way. Maybe “Whiter Shade” does have some deep meaning, maybe not. Perhaps it is something so personal to the writer that you will never know. I have resolved myself to let my own interpretation stand; it is art, after all. The beauty of true art is that it touches each one of us in its own unique way.

  • originalistrick

    Never had Mahi Mahi. I’m sure I’d like it; eaten seafood all my life. My favorite “fish” of all time is fresh, as in freshly caught, blue or yellow catfish. The fresh water variety. I mean you catch it, skin and clean it right then and there, and get busy over an open fire. Yeah, baby. That’s eatin’!

  • thetigtig

    Hi bsomebody,I totally agree and being someone who has nearly every Beatles album,I don’t want to go there.LOL

    As for AWSOP,I have read many blogs from “palers” and thought it would be interesting to hear her opinion.I have read that a bandmember or friend of the band was at a party and saw a girl near comatose and said “that girl has turned a whiter shade of pale.”
    I hope you and everyone else has a wonderful Thanksgivig!!!!!!!!

    Hi Marina :grin:

    Would you please tell us the origin of the term “Fortnight”?
    It’s uses more frequently in Great Britain, but I still hear it from time to time in the States. I can’t see the connection between the word and its meaning.

    Thanks!

  • http://www.youtube.com/user/DPS670950 melikadothechacha

    To add further “beyond the pale” is
    another form often found in literature.
    As near as I am able to infer from this
    usage, this phrase means to go past
    the point of the reasonable into madness.
    Out of the realm of human cognitive reality,
    as a god gone insane. eg: throwing people
    into volcanoes to appease a god goes
    beyond the pale of humanity.
    Gobble gobble! Happy Thanksgiving :mrgreen:

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

    There is an interview with the author/composer where he answers your question. The meaning to the lyrics is nonsense, no hidden meaning, no symbolism just a bunch of word strung together. Look for it in Rolling Stone Magazine or some other rock publication.

    Personally (paraphrasing an email I wrote to Che Volay) when I don’t understand him, I just try to be understanding of him (or, precisely, his condition). If it really bothers ppl that much, I would reccommend an ultimatum – a direct request to cease and desist abherrent behaviour (include examples), or be removed.

    But, again, speaking for myself, though I have noticed a recent spike in frequency and my weird-o-meter is pegged off-scale-high, as long as he doesn’t change his gravatar, it’s all I need to see to scroll my mouse wheel a bit further. He has done me no harm, and I have no ill will toward him, but do take pity on him for his condition. Reminds me of the quote: “I cried because I had no shoes. Until I met a man who had no feet.” I think of the times I stood ambulance duty at the Special Olympics. This is not ancient Rome where children born with any deficiency are subject to summary execution. Certainly, whatever his condition is not of his own choosing. Has every avenue been exhausted to attempt to kindly and directly modify his behaviour at least enough to make him tolerable?

    LOL! I heard that the 99 Cent stores have “perfumes” that look just like the Chanel bottles! (But it would cost more to mail than the product would cost!)

    Hi Marina! Here is a request for a word. Since you’re explaining origins of words, I was wondering if you could tell me the origin of the word ORIGIN? :lol: PS! I love to watch your shows. ~dL~

    Fins and Jimmy Buffet in the same sentence makes me think of his lovely old Grumman Albatross seaplane, one of the prettiest aircraft ever built, named “The Hemisphere Dancer”.
    She was mistaken for a drug-runner’s plane and shot at by the Jamaican authorities on one occasion, which inspired Jimmy to write the song Jamaica Mistaica.

    Have you ever wondered why foreigners have trouble with the English Language?

    Let’s face it
    English is a stupid language.
    There is no egg in the eggplant
    No ham in the hamburger
    And neither pine nor apple in the pineapple.
    English muffins were not invented in England
    French fries were not invented in France.

    We sometimes take English for granted
    But if we examine its paradoxes we find that
    Quicksand takes you down slowly
    Boxing rings are square
    And a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.

    If writers write, how come fingers don’t fing.
    If the plural of tooth is teeth
    Shouldn’t the plural of phone booth be phone beeth
    If the teacher taught,
    Why didn’t the preacher praught.

    If a vegetarian eats vegetables
    What the heck does a humanitarian eat!?
    Why do people recite at a play
    Yet play at a recital?
    Park on driveways and
    Drive on parkways

    You have to marvel at the unique lunacy
    Of a language where a house can burn up as
    It burns down
    And in which you fill in a form
    By filling it out
    And a bell is only heard once it goes!

    English was invented by people, not computers
    And it reflects the creativity of the human race
    (Which of course isn’t a race at all)

    That is why
    When the stars are out they are visible
    But when the lights are out they are invisible
    And why it is that when I wind up my watch
    It starts
    But when I wind up this observation,
    It ends.

    A Polish man moved to the USA and married an American girl.

    Although his English was far from perfect, they got along very well
    until one day he rushed into a lawyer’s office and asked him if he could
    arrange a divorce for him. The lawyer said that getting a divorce would
    depend on the circumstances, and asked him the following questions:

    L: Have you any grounds?
    P: Yes, an acre and half and nice little home.

    L: No, I mean what is the foundation of this case?
    P: It made of concrete.

    L: I don’t think you understand. Does either of you have a real grudge?
    P: No, we have carport, and not need one.

    L: I mean. What are your relations like?
    P: All my relations still in Poland.

    L: Is there any infidelity in your marriage?
    P: We have hi-fideli ty stereo and good DVD player.

    L: Does your wife beat you up?
    P: No, I always up before her.

    L: Is your wife a nagger?
    P: No, she white.

    L: Why do you want this divorce?
    P: She going to kill me.

    L: What makes you think that?
    P: I got proof.

    L: What kind of proof?
    P: She going to poison me. She buy a bottle at drugstore and put on
    shelf in bathroom.

    I can read, and it says: Polish Remover.

    The mother of a 17-year-old girl was concerned that her daughter was having sex.
    >
    > Worried the girl might become pregnant and adversely impact the family’s status, she consulted the family doctor.
    >
    > The doctor told her that teenagers today were very willful and any attempt to stop the girl would probably result in rebellion.
    >
    > He then told her to arrange for her daughter to be put on birth control and until then, talk to her and give her a box of condoms.
    >
    > Later that evening, as her daughter was preparing for a date, the woman told her about the situation and handed her a box of condoms
    >
    > The girl burst out laughing and reached over to hug her mother saying:
    >
    > ‘Oh Mom! You don’t have to worry about that! I’m dating Susan!’

    Capman911 or whomever your pretending to be, it realy disturbs me that people can get distrubed by my comments , after all on this end i may be typing something as example “the brown cow had nice pink teats” , and it could be comming out on your end as my brown trousers fell down around my shoes wing tips”

    Hi Marina! Here is a request for a word. I would like to know the origins of “ride shotgun”. To ride shotgun is to sit in the front passenger seat when riding in a car. In order to claim the seat, one must “call shotgun” according to some set of informal rules.
    Thanks x

    Hey,

    I was always wondering about the origin of the word, obnoxious. Does it have any relation to the word noxious? That would seem odd considering one means a deadly gas and the other means absurd/offensive. Thanks!

    salmon is my favorite fish, although i once had a jewfish (grouper) that was awesome…a friend of mine had speared it down in the Keys, but had been afraid to go get it because he thought there might be sharks in the area…being the stupid college kid i was, i jumped in a swam about 100 yds to get it…we fileted it, rolled it in Potato Buds & butter, pan-fried it and feasted like kings…mmmm!

    ok…next missed lesson… :cool:

    Yes, my family likes Walleye, too. Had good times on South Bass, but better on Middle Bass at Lonz Winery when I was a Tween. The young adults would loosen the restraint on the champagne bottles and the corks would pop bouncing off a high ceiling. Great cheers would follow. (Lonz closed to the public when too many people celebrated on a balcony which collapsed and killed some people.) My dad took me along as the designated driver. He and his friend would swish around the 16′ boat with wine bottles in hand as I navigated the choppy waters and bailed the boat with a tin can at the same time. Cheers!
