Animated

Come on if I aint first comment now this website is fixed. :mrgreen:

YAY!

Right after I have watched this I am going to recruit some subscribers.

took you long -.-

Hot live breath in NYC

I don’t like cartoons :???:

Good job James :mrgreen:

Way to go dude! :cool:

Hey! that girl is smokin’

Cool effect Marina :cool:

My favourite cartoon when I was growing up was Felix the Cat :mrgreen:

Man that was quick again. Dang :shock:

Wow! You folks are fast!

Well this one came at a decent hour for you :cool:

I liked Woody Woodpecker when growing up. Now I watch THIS with my son.

what do you mean?>

Guess she found a place to plug in the laptop :smile:

My favorite was Scooby. The Scoob rocks! :cool:

She must have, I was on the Tech site in the word game posting a word. I was running and refreshing Marina’s http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=hotforwords&view=videos page to see when the next video loaded. By the time I finished on the word game and checked her video page the new video was on both sites. :shock:

The older ones are best.
Q Who did the voice for Shaggy?

Homework :grin:
I like the Andy Warhol effect! Very :cool: !
I watched so many cartoons, but my two very favorite cartoons were: The Smurfs & G1 Transformers!

When I was a kid my favorite cartoon was Bugs Bunny.

I have some Nu Pogodi on my computer I downloaded for a friend. I was surprised to see just how much they looked like some of Tex Avery’s work.
I do not understand what is being said in the Nu Pogodi cartoons, but they are enjoyable to watch.

Thanks…. I want to thank… me for refreshing like hell.

:mrgreen: :mrgreen:

As someone who grew up with, at best (or worst), a 12 inch black and white TV set, I can’t think of any cartoons that I even knew of. The only childrens’ programs I can remember were Bill and Ben, the Flowerpot Men, Andy Pandy, and Muffin the Mule.
(And you wonder why I’m weird?)
Probably my favourite cartoon of all time is Walt Disney’s Fantasia or maybe Who Killed Roger Rabbit?.

Could you do the origin of the word pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis?

LOL just watched some of that Nu Pogodi cartoon, i wonder how many kids first experiance of a ciggarette was lighting it the wrong way round!!!

my favorite has to be daffy duck

Thanks to the edit feature (yippee) I can say that I was typing while you were sending…I really had to think hard for THAT one!!! Thanks

It’s a wonder I haven’t abandoned all my ideals; they seem so absurd and impractical. Yet I cling to them because I still believe, in spite of everything, that people are truly good at heart. It’s utterly impossible for me to build my life on a foundation of chaos, suffering and death. I see the world slowly transformed into a wilderness. I hear the approaching thunder that, one day, will destroy us too. I feel the suffering of millions. And yet, when I look up at the sky, I somehow feel that everything will change for the better, that this cruelty too shall end, that peace and tranquility will return once more.

A Congrats on 140 million views… I got my 400k yesterday

B you only need 6 more subscribers to catch up with expert village and they haven’t just had a new video up so I think you might be able to get back the number 2 spot… Just need people to click that button…. Hmm a blue arrow instead od red could work, people respond to blue more than any other colour……

Test. hmm… where have the smilies gone?

EDIT: i am testing the edits.

CLICK TO EDIT!!!!! YAY !!!

Annudermale’s gonna love this…
Homework: Tom Terrific :mrgreen:
Popeye was also good…
Then there was Heckle and Jeckle, Mighty Mouse, and
many more were around, too.
Bugs was good, but Daffy was insane. I could go on and on and on, but I’m sure others will do that for me (and I’m going to enjoy that)

I don’t think I have a chance of passing either of those guys.. Expert Village has like 40,000 VIDEOS!!! And household hacker came out of nowhere and blew by me.

No big.. I’m happy with where I am at.

ROCK ON, JAMES!!!

What, no smilies for you James?

Does anybody get a countdown timer on the Edit Comments? Also.. I set it at 5 minutes.. is that long enough?

Yabba Dabba Do!The Flintstones

Alright! I can edit my typos, instead of saying OOPS! so much!
(Heh heh – now you’ll know when I’m using the Oops trick to make jokes):MrGreen:

Hey! No Smileys. {frown}

I don’t see a countdown timer when I click edit. 5 minutes seems to be alright I guess… “wooosh” we had this earlier… good feature!

How about doing the origin of Anesthetics?

Yeah. I had smilies until I did my first edit. Now, they’re gone.:sad:

I’d say: Domina M.

Domina M has been a professional dominatrix since the age of 23. She began her career as an apprentice to Mistress Simone at a Los Angeles dungeon called Justice. After establishing herself in Los Angeles, she moved to New York and built her own version of Justice, a dungeon she called Luxuria.

woooohoooooo!!!!

Yes maam if you’ll tell me what timer your talking about please. :smile:

40,000?

I just looked 140,000!!!

By the way you are number to I just gave you the 2 extra subscribers. I have no more accounts.. You are level pegging now.. When householdhacke overtook you… I unsubscribed from them…. Sadly, I am not already subbed to expert village… Honestly 140,000 videos…

Never mind I see it now. But it’s like James said there are no smileys on the rely section.

Umm… Captain Jack might need longer – heh heh!
A query: Does the five minute timer start
after you initially post, or during the edit?

Duh… looks like my question answered itself.
So, it’s from when you initially post.
Cool beans!

They are back now. But I saw your comment about a countdown timer. I don’t have a clue in hell what that is. :?:

Does this edit feature slow down the comments to our email.?

OMG! Russians watched cartoons?! An FBI agent gave a speech to our grade school, umm, a long time ago. He told us to get with it, the Russian children are learning English and mastering the sciences. He said American children were the Pepsi generation hooked on cartoons. Alrighty-then, where’s the free Pepsi samples?

Bugs Bunny, too.

So will Seesix

I see smileys. Are you sure you don’t see smileys? What browser are you using?

Wow… look at you editing your own comments after I replied to it! See the problems this can cause!!!

Hmm, reading about the comment editor and it says logged in users can edit comments for a limited time…. Does this mean it won’t be here for long?

I am using Fire Fox.

Glad you got to see one of the cartoons.

Yay! Smileys are back! :lol: :grin: :smile: Woohoo! :idea: :mrgreen: :twisted: Oh… uhh… :oops:

Have you seen the Big Words lesson?
There are a few big words on the
Words List already, but I don’t think
Marina plans to do more until she whittles
down a couple quadrillion other itty bitty
word requests. (Now watch, just because
I said that, your word will be the next one
she does – LOL!) But seriously, if she
doesn’t, don’t think she didn’t see your
request, ok? She does pay attention and
tries very hard to get as many requests
done that she can.

Oh. I think the smileys are gone while the edit option is open. Okay, now I get it.

The world has always been a wilderness, since it started to exist ages ago. Those who try to change the way it is are born to fail.

You probably haven’t abandoned all your ideals because you are really somebody. Keep it up the way it should be!

Dear совершенная Marina, What a surprise! I didn’t expect a video while you were travelling! I hope you enjoy your trip to New York, and that you go to a nice restaurant there, instead of that fast food place at LAX. Perhaps you might appear on one of the morning TV shows from New York, such as “Regis and Kelly.” :smile:
As for cartoons, my favorite was also “Bugs Bunny.” Also, Wile E. Coyote and the Roadrunner were favorites. I really don’t remember very many “Rocky and Bullwinkkle” cartoons, But they apparently were popular with some of your subscribers, here! Some of my favorite Bugs Bunny cartoons were when he had to deal with “Marvin the Martian.” :smile:
Thanks to your video, I’m going to see if any Russian cartoons are available on YouTube. :shock:
Your dear student, seesixcm6

Hi Marina,

My friend Ashley just sent me a text message and asked me what I was doing. I told her i was drinking a grape “soda”, as we call it here in Wisconsin. Then I thought if I was in my home town in Iowa it would be called a grape “pop”. These are both short for “sodapop” Where does the word “sodapop” come from and why is it shortened to “soda” in some places and “pop” in others. Please investigate

Patrickmke

Pepsi is too sweet. I always
can pick out Coca Cola in a blind
taste test :MrGreen:

cool the gravatars are bigger now :grin:

Marina,
What are the origins of Holiday and Christmas.

Happy Holidays

You have smilies? Hmmm…
mine are still gone.
Could it be they are disabled when
the post edit timer is running?
I’m going to test and see if it
resets when you dump and reload
the browser. back in a sec…

It means that I can set the amount of time that a comment can be edited.

Oh.. I didn’t check. Are you getting emails?

I see smileys now. I just installed more ram so I don’t know if that had something to do with it or cleaning my cache did the trick. :grin:

See my comment above. I think you are right, chacha.

Are you going to? Actually, editing comments has gone :( Perhaps you should only let it to the main contributors etc

Yes maam I getting emails just wondering if the edit button will slow them down until the five minutes is up. Ok now I don’t see smileys so maybe it’s my computer.

Ok its come back again now… :brainexplode:

Good luck with taping today.:thumbs up:
Be safe and stay warm :grin:

Hello Marina

What is the origin of the word Sheriff?

Happy Holidays

Dear Miss Marina Orlova,

RECESS!!!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYcQhAdFMV8

Your Student,
ThoughtOnFire

Interesting. I dumped the browser
and reloaded. The edit timer is still
running, but my access rights to
edit are denied when I tried to
append to it.

FINALLY! my video has just uploaded after ( brb going to check time at twitter ) accordingt o whe i posted it at twitter almost 3 HOURS!!! GOD DAMN!! this quality better be good.

Marina should I start spreading the news that you are leaving today? are those little town blues melting away? Do you want to be a part of it yet :?: :grin:

I think I get it now….. You can only edit your last 2 comments?

EDIT: Obvi not….. I am still learning. Maybe 3… I am too exhausted.

I like how you laid that comment out

Did you say recess?
Sometimes Marina will do a video
which isn’t actually a lesson, so
those do not show up on the
lessons list. If you do a search
within the site, and it exists,
you can find it

You’re right, Chacha. Your comment reminded me of my Grandmother’s specification for Coca-cola. I walked a mile to the store, but all they had was a carton of 8 large bottles of Pepsi. I bought it because she needed her cola, but the store owners told me that my grandmother wouldn’t drink it. After carrying the heavy load with the sharp cardboard cutting into my fingers, Grandma said, “Now, what did I tell you? You take that Pepsi back!” Jeez! She must have had the real thing! The store owners laughed and said, “Told you so.”

Thanks,

Though that was the name of my homework :P

TOF

My favorite cartoon was “The Herculoids” by Hanna-Barbera Studios. How can you go wrong with a flying dragon with laser beams, a indestructable rock ape, a 10-legged rhinoceratops that shoots energy grenades and shape-changers with names like “Gloop” and “Gleep”. :cool: They would blow Pikachu into outer space! :twisted:

ChaCha I am trying to help Patrikmike find a video where Marina asked us what we called a softdrink, soda or pop do you remember the video?

Hell I am so old I knew Moby Dick when he was a minnow, so I can’t recollect what cartoon was my favorite when I was little. Micky Mouse I guess. Dang smileys gone again.

My favorite cartoon was ‘Topcat’.

I was allowed to stay up ( I think it was until 9 ) to watch it; my sisters had to go to bed.

TC was devious, and always pulled the wool over Officer Dibble’s eyes. I liked it.

Lovely Marina,

Since this time of year is “chock-full” of them (Macy’s on Thanksgiving Day plus many leading up to Christmas), what is the origin of the word “parade”?

P.S. Are there any Hanukkah (a.k.a. Chanukah) parades you know of?

BTW: I love the lyrics for “Hello, Dolly” on the profile editing page!

That was a cool cartoon! I first watched it on Boomerang. Basically it’s the same story over and over again, but it is fun to watch :!: :grin:

hey,
where does the phrase “have a cow” come from?

@thoughtonfire – Huh? LOL!
Dude, I did not see that it was your
homework, until you said so! OMG!
You surprised me, I’ve never seen
that show before. Good job :mrgreen:

Re: Soda vs Pop thread
The discussion about soda and pop wasn’t in the
Coke lesson. like I thought. Let me think about it
and get back to you. I do remember it came up a
couple times, but was only discussed in depth once.
Re: Smilies.
Yes, the smilies are gone while the edit timer runs,
then they come back. Guess you can only edit them
out, but can’t edit them in

Don’t you mean Who Framed Roger Rabbit? ?

HOMEWORK: Some of my favorites were…

Robotech
Voltron
Thundercats

I’m at: Videos Watched: 55,927 :-)

I looked at two or three older videos and couldn’t remember that particular one.

Hey, is it me or do our gravatars look slightly bigger?

When I get my own computer, I’m thinking of doing some of my own animation. :smile:

WHAT!! I have been on YouTube longer than you have as well! Well I guess I have more account warnings than you. Oh, thats not a good thing is it… hmm…

No it’s just you they are still small. :razz: :razz: :lol: Marina made them bigger and added an edit button to the comment boxes. It will last for about 5 minutes then when you refresh it will disappear. Cool HuH :grin:

That would be interesting to learn. And patrick, I’m from Iowa, so I just thought I’d let you know, some of us [like myself] call it “soda” as well, though “pop” is definitely more prevalent. But even so, I think that even the people who call it “pop” make an exception when referring to grape or orange soda.

M I am trying to help Patrikmike about a video where you asked which do we prefer to say soda or pop do you remember which video it was?

I have no account warnings.. do you really have that many warnings? That’s going to stop you from becoming a partner possibly!

‘Foghorn Leghorn’ I say I say I saaaaaaaayyyy

That’s a funny cartoon character, makes me think of Capman for some reason. :roll:

Hey Marina,

My favorite cartoons growing up were the Wile E. Coyote v. Roadrunner ones. Such a beautifully simple premise: a fierce predator coming up with one outlandish tactic after another to catch as simple a prey as a roadrunner. Bugs Bunny was really good too, though. I especially liked the episode where he does a sort of opera thing with Elmer Fudd.

What’s an account warning?

Thanks pal :!: :lol: :lol:

Funny you should say that, I just re-applied about 5 mins ago. My warning expires in 6 months, so that means I can pass the time by applying 3 times. I got it for having a video with a dodgy thumbnail. Its funny how when they “reviewed” my videos last time I applied for partnership they never noticed it, and the time before that too. I have found a channel which has got a video that looks like porn until you see its an armpit so I flagged it. I am just waiting now to see what happens. Oh, and that 222mb video is here I think the only reason why it is 222mb is because it says watch in hd. I just tried the settings you suggested but there was something with the quality that wasn’t quite right, I think I will have to see what I think. I have almost a page full of test videos. I am keeping them there until I work out the right quality. And I WILL get one of those flip hd thing but they are not out in the UK yet, but there is one on Ebay; just the one. I REALLY want one after I saw the quality on YT.

Youtube gives them to you when they are bored and want to single out handsome young brits. It’s just pure malice.

hi! (jak sie masz?) :D
where does the expression “dah?” come from?

What do you think of my vid then cap?

Here’s a video on Duh that she did a while back. Maybe it could answer that same question for you. You can find more videos under the Word / Lessons section at the top of the page. Enjoy :smile:

http://www.hotforwords.com/2008/07/01/duh/

Marina! The smileys have gone again

Let me try typing one :mrgreen:

typing works then……

I liked it. I thought you had that planned just right with Mr Safety. Cool video James. ;-))

Did you manage to watch it in hd?

“Does this outfit make me look gay?” :lol:

When you leave a comment the smileys will disappear until the 5 minute timer for the edit feature gets done. Then they will return. I thought I was having problems with my computer but it is the new feature that causes that problem. I am not sure about the edit feature yet.

So if you comment you lose the smileys for a while. I guess this is a bug atm right?

I don’t know if it’s a bug. We will have to figure out how to manually put in our own smileys when they don’t show up. Do you know the codes for the different smileys or where I can find a page that will show me how to use the code to make the smileys?

i hope this works : mrgreen: : neutral: : twisted: : arrow: : shock: : smile: : ???: : cool: : evil: : grin: : idea: : oops: : razz: : roll: : wink: : cry: : eek: : lol: : mad: : sad: : !: : ?:

:???:

“Felix the cat”,”Bullwinkle and Rocky”, “Underdog”, “Superchicken”, “Popeye”, this is just some of the animated shows I watched as a child. I Don’t watch so many anymore.

lol at my poor edit….

It did James. I can read all of what you typed in my email. It came out in word form. Thanks :smile:

Favorite cartoon, huh? I gotta say Tom and Jerry.
What about the word, Hoopla?
Or is that even a word?
This is cool, I’m actually learning. Sweet.
Shout out to Capman, u awesome.

PS: Don’t worry Marina, I’ll be good!

what video(s) got flagged?

Some places call it coke no matter what soft drink it is.
Here in Montana people call it “Pop” but I still call it “Soda”

Man, that SNL skit “Jizz In My Pants” is so funny. :lol:

You’re not saying that there are no smileys in the screen when you edit, I hope! The smileys are a totally different plug-in from the edit thing!

Anyway.. I think I fixed it if that anyway.. they just don’t exist when you go to edit.. let me try :-)

That’s the one – saw my mistake but forgot to change the text on the link. :oops:

:mrgreen:

You fixed it there back now after we comment.

John did you get the twitter thing to work for you?

Kamehameha Wave :cool:

somewhat I will have to wait and see if anyone twitters me.

Aha! The edit feature does not
affect the mail notification
timing. The time on this post
and my notification are the same.
(3:00pm PST / 6:00pm EST )
Another mystery solved… :mrgreen:

Oh wow Marina, things changed here a bit. Apparently Firefox just took its sweet time about refreshing itself.
You have a link to your new plug-in so I can read up on this? I see a lot on my screen here and don’t know when I hit a button how it will affect the backend.

“Wow… look at you editing your own comments after I replied to it! See the problems this can cause!!!”

Yes this is the problem with being able to edit comments. Some plugins give you about 15 minutes to re-edit post before it becomes permanent. Some plugins allow for a preview before a post. I would suggest 5 minutes is plenty of time. After that they can email me and I can edit comments on the backend.

Good request. I second that.
Word request : Sheriff and is there any connection with Shereef?

:mrgreen: Its fine on my side of the screen. :mrgreen:

James, they reviewed that Flip video camera on The Gadget Show this evening, so I think it will be here soon if not already. :smile:

At first, I thought you’re comments were induced by drugs or alcohol (and maybe they are), but you always seem to post things here that demonstrate a bizarre thinking process.
When I Google your name, Neuroway, I notice lots of
link related material about psychological disorders.
Wierd, huh? :mrgreen:

How about Sagacious, seems like a good solid request, and as far as cartoons go, I’d probably say DragonBall Z or Biker Mice from Mars

Guess who Captain Pugwash makes me think of. :lol:

:-) < i never knew : -) was a way if doing a smilie if it messes up again i will feel :-( then i will go to bed feeling :evil: but i will think of you then feel :grin: and wake up :grin:

I like Yosemite Sam and the Roadrunner. Oh, and Elmer Fudd…and <a href= http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdf-pUuP1fg < Foghorn Leghorn and the Chicken Hawk. :lol:

late but, back

With the edit feature, you can do a cleanup when the HTML special characters get typoed. The beauty is, WYSIWYG :mrgreen:

My favorite cartoon growing up was definately Tom and Jerry. I used to watch it for hours! :lol:

“The use of COBOL cripples the mind – its teaching should, therefore, be regarded as a criminal offense.” – Edsgar Dijkstra 1930-2002

True and almost crippled the world in the new millennium (99 vs 00)

Tom & Jerry !!! :mrgreen:

“Pay attention, son”

Da is a Russian word and means “Yes” :mrgreen:

I love the bigger Gravatars. You can see more definition in each character.

Hi Marina, you asked me to remind you to start doing ringtones again after I asked you about them. Well this is my reminder. And for homework, my favorite cartoon was always The Ninja Turtles.

Until Marina gets to it:
The word was coined sometime since 1965. It’s an expansion of pneumoconiosis, a lung disease (root word pneumos, air.) The “ultra-micro-scopic-silico-volcano” part is fairly self-evident; the disease is caused by inhalation of microscopic silicate particles.
That’s just off the top of my head. :cool: But of course, one could Google it.

It is not originally mine, but it often mirrors my feelings. I think it means so much more when we know who wrote it.

Some of my favies, too!… too bad they don’t make ‘em like that no mo’! They are a rarity on the tellie anymore :sad: They just don’t make ‘em like they used to, mate…

If we need more than five minutes to edit our comments, we probably don’t have enough else to do with our lives! :razz:

Shire?

ROFLOL!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

hey doc, tell me what is up? It is not fair….that rabbit was my little buddy growing up. Silly rabbit, tricks are for kids :lol: ….cartoons and looney fun :lol: good job Marina and all the hotforwords efforts…..With all the mice, how different rabbits became stars? (not the monthly playboy :lol: ) :-)

Oh yeah! I love the opera! I am going to post again at the top to see if anyone knows where (if) that is on YT. Yeah!

God bless and Happy birthday—MARINA you are no cartoon…I liked the beatles cartoons

***WORD REQUEST***
Milaya Marina,
Did you get my Video Request you requested for “salary” (posted as a response to “Model”)? My technical advisor (read: 13-year-old daughter & YouTube enthusiast) assures me she posted it correctly.
Dobre vecher,
Evan

nathan19 commented earlier about the Elmer Fudd, Bugs Bunny opera. Does anybody have a link to a vid of that. I have not seen it for … uh… crikey! …. decades.

huh your N.Y. times video doesn’t work with this google browser nomaterme…
opened it in a second window then it worked

Holy-black-and-white-tv! I am gettin’ old, mates. :cry:

Cool! The smileys are back full-time. I missed them. :grin:

You can watch the cartoon here if you like, bsomebody.

I just posted a link to it back down where it first came up, but here it is again to watch it on YouTube.

Coolness! :cool: thanx, mate. :grin:

Hmmmm.. I can’t really follow your thinking process here, Melikadothechacha. But nevertheless, you’ve got an interesting point. Bizarre.. Interesting word.. Good idea for a lesson? Although I like “dominatrix” too. And “virtue”, one of my favourites.

Melikadothechacha, from what I’ve seen of your posts, I don’t think you’re a dummy. I don’t know what you get when you google “Neuroway”, but I am not interested to see what I get when I google “Melikadothechacha”. Probably a bunch of rubbish. Because I’m pretty sure it’s not your real name. Then perhaps you shall want to share your real name with us?

Are you available on linkedin? If yes, then perhaps we can link together with our real names?

Hi Marina,

Please, bring back the bloopers at the end of your lessons! They were always a highlight and always amusing!

:smile:

Ok riddle me this. :twisted:

There are 7 girls in a bus.
Each girl has 7 backpacks.
In each backpack, there are 7 big cats.
For every big cat, there are 7 little cats.
Question: How many legs are there in the bus?

a bus load :lol:

Gee, that’s a good one. I like the Wagner music, “Ride of the Walküres”. Reminds me of the movie “Apocalypse Now”.

:cool: :cool: :cool:

UMM …marina, do you know the origin of ornament?

I guess if there two legged girls,70? :neutral:

dah 70

I agree, but I need a number to finish the equation to open an xl file someone sent me. So I thought I would share the problem to see how good someone is going to be. :grin:

Yessir!

A bus load. That’s more than enough!!!

:cool: :cool: :cool:

I liked the road runner :!:

Nope sorry on the 60 and 70. :sad:

When I was younger, I was partial to the action cartoons. I liked the Super Friends, Spiderman and Fantastic Four.

thats a lot of pussy any way you look at it!

Okay folks, I need some help for a title on my final paper for school. I argued that Thoreau’s ideas in his essay Civil Disobedience are very different from the ideas held in civil disobedience, today. I argued specifically that his ideas of violence, social change, and the ends justifying the means do not jive with today’s beliefs. My title is “Henry David Thoreau: Revolutionary or Misplaced Utopian,” but that sucks. I need a catchy title folks, and you have been nominated. Congratulations!

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

1582

1768 !

Sorry no correct answer so far.

1492!

7 girls * 2 legs = 14 legs
7 girls * 7 packs = 49 packs
49 packs * 7 b cats = 343 b cats
343 b cats * 4 legs = 1372 legs
343 b cats * 7 l cats = 2401 l cats
2401 l cats * 4 legs = 9604 legs
14+1372+9604=10,990 legs
10,990 legs

hi could you please investigate the word trollop!

word request: trollop

Dude,

Even the harem of Montezuma didn’t have that many legs.

I want to come up with something col, but the pressure is making me draw a blank!

But was he misplaced at the time?

Hmm, is it revolutionary when you say stuff like the end justifies the means… or is that conservative?

12859 or 12855? :oops:

Looks like you’ve been doing your reading bsomebody! :-)

Very, very good! :mrgreen:
Extra star for showing your work!
I see you went back and gave it
some thought after your first try.
That’s a solid “A” :cool:

henry david thoreau: one bad ass motherfucker.

editable comments!?

We have a winner. Bsomebody you figured it out. :mrgreen: Congratz Bob. :cool:

I do not think he was misplaced then, just later. Somehow King and Gandhi threw his name around and people associated their beliefs with Thoreau. The Revolutionary part in my title is the concept of non-violent social change, but Thoreau did not buy into that; he just wanted a simple life, extreme individualism. An anarchist utopian kind of thing. :roll:

and no i did not say edible comments.

You got it Bob congratz. :grin:

I would like to request th word: briefcase

Thanks… ;P

That is the problem, buzz. I do not think he was badass at all. That was my argument. Maybe HDT, one pusillanimous mo-fo.

I need a zanee :!:

Bsomebody figured it out 10,990 legs.

Woohoo! {somebody frolicks around the room, throwing off garments in his joy} :oops:

Yes, they are edible. I’m doing all I can to help in this world economy :-)

You are definitely a leg man! Good Job!!!!!!

mmm…yummy.

How about a rather fucker. He would rather fuck your whole family instead of your mother. :lol: :lol:

He was not pacifist, either. I was really surprised when I read his work how misconstrued his ideas have become. He was a HUGE fan of John Brown, felt no desire to implement social change, and that any means necessary as long as your motives were pure.

The recent comments list is out of whack. Do posts not list over there until the edit has expired?

PS: If any TA’s read this, please do me a favor and ask Marina for me, I will be eternally grateful! And as a bonus, I will give the edible comment of a sandwich……with spicy mustard. (Your choice of meats and cheeses, plus lettuce tomato, etc.)

Geez.. I am dealing with .. “Miuras” here? Of course you realize that this means…

¡War!

I just checked it out also. It seems you must have hit on another little quirk. :wink:

Hey Marina! I was wondering if you could do the word “Demonstrate“? I find it odd that it has the word “Demon” in it… Any correlation to the actual scary demon from hell? :grin: Hehe, thank you!!

Don’t get me wrong, Google is not being a good source for information about your screen name. As for mine, try it! You’ll find mostly posts here. Click on the pulldown bar where it says TA, and you’ll find my real name is Douglas Shaw (Hi – howyadoin’?). Got a picture of me, too.
Googling your name shows a guy with a Forex forum status as being “on a distinguished road”, I don’t know – is that you? I’m just trying to get a handle on where you’re coming from because I see some great stuff in your posts; and then there’s the other stuff about wildernesses, etc… You’re not gonna end up saying we’re all “minions” of the devil, are you?

The world has always been a wilderness, since it started to exist ages ago. Those who try to change the way it is are born to fail.
You probably haven’t abandoned all your ideals because you are really somebody. Keep it up the way it should be!
.
Am I missing something? that’s pretty bizzare to just hang out there. Was this a response to something, and the comment missed it’s intended thread? I mean – that happens.
As a stand alone, it seems out-of-place. I guess you were really impressed by some Nietzsche-esque ideas to come up with some of this stuff. Anyway, you got me to look at what you wrote and stop and wonder “what is it all about.”
Seems like you’re smart enough. Lighten up – have fun.
The whole “darkside” shadow angst (on an otherwise bright person) is nutty. Do what you will, people will notice. I’m just sayin’ …is it really so bad for you?

the russian cartoon marina mentioned in the video.

Hey Marina

I really liked this one, very creative.

My question is where does the phrase,” Fair to middlin’ “, come from? I know it means that things are a little better than average; just above okay, but how did it originate?

Thanks!

no shoes, no shirt, no service.

His post that you mentioned was a response to my post, and it was an appropriate comment. You might have missed my post because it was all in blockquote. Check it out and see if you can figure who wrote it. Clue: it is published and is required reading in many high schools and some jr. highs. I actually get a lot of neuroway’s ideas, and I do not find them all that dark, but they are definately edgy. :cool: I apologize neuroway, if I am speaking out of turn, but I figured since your post was a response to mine, then I would go ahead and jump in. Peace, my friends.

Ironwolf,

Your gravatar looks great, man. Well, at least, it has the “wolf” embedded in it, which is a good start!!!

But your gravatar is not as great as Marina’s, of coarse!

Good question of yours. Perhaps Marina can answer that?

“Fair to middin’” What does that mean? Mein Dame???

i watched this cartoon as a kid, probably conditioned me to study anthropology.

Evening, everybody. That was a cool vid, Dear Teach! All the neat stuff you and many of the HFW family do here is mighty impressive, particularly when I sit here asking myself questions like, “Duh, what’s a thread?”.
My favorite toons were Roadrunner, because when I was a kid roadrunners were abundant in our area, and Mighty Mouse, because the music was so kick-ass.
Always.

@Chacha, this was my post down yonder that neuroway left a response:

It’s a wonder I haven’t abandoned all my ideals; they seem so absurd and impractical. Yet I cling to them because I still believe, in spite of everything, that people are truly good at heart. It’s utterly impossible for me to build my life on a foundation of chaos, suffering and death. I see the world slowly transformed into a wilderness. I hear the approaching thunder that, one day, will destroy us too. I feel the suffering of millions. And yet, when I look up at the sky, I somehow feel that everything will change for the better, that this cruelty too shall end, that peace and tranquility will return once more.

Like I mentioned, it is not originally mine, but it does mirror my feelings at times. Who wrote it? :?:

Oh yeah, I still need a title for that paper below. :???:

So who is the handsome young Brit YT singled out? :razz:

Oh. Ok – now it makes some sense, but at least I now understand it’s part of a dialogue. Cool, that means you are having fun (don’t want to harsh your buzz – LOL). I don’t guess it’s from Steinbeck, or anything like Poppy Ott :mrgreen:

Never saw that one as a kid. But I do remember Topo Gigio

Simply put, I’ve tried on many different occassions to make a youtube account, it sets it up, let’s me watch videos, but when I send the verification to my e-mail to get subscriptions, it doesn’t work. I don’t put videos on youtube, the main reason I recently tried was to subscribe to Marina’s vids, and enter the contest.
I don’t really care bout fixin it, I still watch her new posts, and I love how she does things here,so no youtube subscription ability is really no problem 4 me. I just wanted to pass a message on to her wonderin if she could still maybe find a way for me to b in the contest.
PS: Also, tell her not 2 be angry please, I just really want 2 be in the running 4 a ringtone, she has the best voice I ever heard. If u could just get her 2 read this and pass on an answer to me, it would be fine. Either in comments or at the end of her next post.
Gracias Capman, u shall get the edible comment sandwich, what u want on it :mrgreen:

Very interestiing point you raised here, bsomebody.

I already read Tolstoi’s “War and Peace”.

But now I thing I need to read Fyodor Dostoevsky’s “Brothers Kamarazov”

Guys, I really think Marina is great. She’s the one dudes… Stick with her!!!! And let’s see what happens!!!

Marina, To wish you a Happy Birthdays and a Merry Christmass I found you an animated video of another sort.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ldG1zYtzBk

Tell me how you like the horses?

The little girl says at the end “I know where a dead armadillo is wanna go see it’?

:lol:

i was apprehensive at first, but after i let captainjack edit me from the backend i’m a happy customr.

oops… look at that captainjack. i misspelled customer! edit please.

Any of you “fossils” ever read the old Tom Swift series back in the day? :mrgreen:
Doubt anyone would know what a Swifty is anymore :sad:

It sure is fun watching cartoons in class all day/night. Maybe next we can go on a fieldtrip. :grin:

Foghorn Leghorn and the young Chickenhawk! ” Yer a chicken,and, I’m a chickenhawk” :lol: then He tries gnawing in Foghorn’s leg to no avail! So Foghorn sends Him on a mission to mess with the dog! Classic stuff.

Got my (our) calander today… now the argument starts, where to put it up… & cool bonus I forged your signature, I can sign cheques now too.

Heh heh – good find! :mrgreen:

Marina was born two days after John Lennon died, wonder if she got his soul in a reincarnation sought of way. She does have an attraction to the peace symbol & flashes the peace sign a lot. (singing well, some lesson would help :razz: )

my god, your head is huge!

Demons aren’t always evil. There are good ones mentiond in Shakespeare’s writings and also in the book “The Golden Compass”.

“Mother Rapers,Father Stabbers,FATHER RAPERS,sittin right there on the bench next to Me marked,”Group W”,that’s where they put ya if ya may not be moral enough to join the Army after commitin Yer special crime”

Thoreau may not have been so different from the “dissidents” of the 60s n 70s. Just title it “Thoreau’s Restaraunt” and see if they make the connection to Guthrie and alices Restaraunt”.

You are on the right track, but this is much more … straightforward reading.

What about the bus driver???

Hola, el Che! I thought the attraction to the peace sign was her attraction to my (non holiday) gravatar. Whaddaryusayin’? Oh, BTW, I can use your help on the title for my paper. Check the post below. It will be easy to find if you look for the pink, M left a reply. :razz:

Dear Marina,
Here is wishing you a HAPPY BIRTHDAY a little early :mrgreen:

Why did Santa’s Helper go to a psychotherapist?

Because he had no elf-esteem.

I would like to know the origin of the words debauchery and debacle. Thankyou

extra credit for the thoreau pun.

Dobre vecher, Marina,
I checked out your Twitter page & again saw you in your mini-kilt. I keep wondering if you (as a Russian) are aware that the kilt is traditionally worn without underwear. Which makes the picture of you in a mini-kilt especially…umm…unsettling :shock: to those of us of “kiltic” heritage.
I’m not criticizing, mind you, just offering feedback. :oops:

No problem. Let me know if you end up using it; if you do, it will probably be the only thing I accomplish all week.

I studied COBOL. We called it the language of writers’ cramp.

I have to wonder, why this quote? It seems so (as my daughters would say) “random.” :?:

“Conscience Revisited”

The key is to say a lot with as few words possible. :idea:

Mine was Fritz the Cat.

extra credit for pun:

Thoreau nickname around the power elitist: Pond Scum

As bsomebody suggested, it evolved from “shire reeve”, an overseer of the shire. The term dates back to Anglo-Saxon (pre-Norman) England.
Of course, we Welsh had no use for such “cwn yr arglwydd.” :cool:

Not Claus-trophobia? :lol:

Buzzword,,GREAT LINK! I never saw that version before!

Bsomebody,glad to be of service! Hope it all comes together for Ya.

Here in the Driftless Area We are getting POUNDED by snow,,no no,,not “LB’d”!LOL! Were getting pounded all night then blowing and drifting tomorrow.Possibly sleet/ice too,enough there are warnings that power lines might come apart!

Oh hell no,,He’s lookin in the back door window from outside hoping for a sneak-peak higher up the girl’s legs.

Hey HFW fans! Just got a brainstorm!
How about we make a list of “hot for words” in as many languages as we can think of?
I’ll lead off:
Spanish: “caliente para palabras”
Welsh: “poeth dros geiriau”
French: “chaude pour mots” (Someone check this for me.)
Russian: “goriachaya …” better let Marina finish this one.
Click on “Evan Owen” above, it’ll take you to my YouTube account & you can leave your translations there!

Been out looking at Christmas lights, boy I saw the most extravagant display of lights ever. I’ll tell you at the Breakfast Club.

Left you a title for you paper below.

well my favorite animated serie is saint seiya, and Marina is my personal goodness

OK, one more before bedtime…
Did y’all know the “successor to the thumbtack” was invented by a Russian poet? Aleksandr Pushpin!

The French is right, Evan. At least, that’s the correct literal translation for a woman: I’m not entirely sure it would carry the same connotation, though.

Wayyyy back when,who was that little old cartoon dude that stuttered real bad when He sang?

@tryant :???: ??

(abundant, adequate, a lot of, ample, complete,)

As i watch your video i noticed you go through pronunciation and I’m wondering i have a dutch last name and i was just recently told I’m saying it wrong and no one can figure out how i should be introducing myself.
My last name is Goedhard
i have been saying it as Goodheart

And my favorite cartoon while growing up was the road runner and the coyote.

Very good!

Remember how all the bombs, T.N.T., and assorted gizmos came from “ACME”?

What does filling a church full of garbage have to do with being a revolutionary? Oh-come-on-you-guys…

It made it seem like ACME made everything in the world
now a really good question is with what ever currency that the coyote was using to buy all the T.N.T. and ACME things why didn’t he just order take out

Marina, I just love how you analyze the word’s complete

ancestry and this past participle was fascinating :cool: . Case

in point, “animare” meaning of to “give breathe to” is a great

analogy to what symbolizes animation. I just gotta believe

that is what every Disney, Warner Bros. animator were

thinking as they animated such classic characters like Mickey

Mouse, Donald & Daffy Duck, Porky & Goofy, and of course

your favorite wasically wabbit,Bugs Bunny :lol: They were all

given their first breath of life by these dedicated caregivers of

who put a little of themseves into each piece of

animation. :smile: This is why you are the Dean of Philology:

you have a gift of breathing life to every word you

investigate!! :smile: :cool: Regarding my homework,

my trusty friend and professor, my favorite cartoon growing

up was Winnie the Pooh and the original Ninja Turtles cartoon.

Now as days my taste have a grown a bit more sophicated,

with South Park, being my favorite piece of animation. Still, I

will never grow tire of Pooh’s honey cravings, Piglet’s fears or

Tigger’s wild spirit.

P.S. Marina, I too will always love me some classic Looney

Toons and I wish I could have experience the joys you had

with “Nu Pogodi” but I bet it was an amazing animated

show :mrgreen:
love, Doug

Hello Marina,
This show was very different- watch out Frank Miller!
Charles Schulz provided the Promethean spark
for my favorite cartoon- Charlie Brown.
I’ve always liked the music.

Eh, no matter what side they’re on, I’m still quite curious :P

There bus was not specified to be in motion, so a driver is not necessary. However, you get an A in thinking.

From what I have read on Thoreau, violence was not a weapon he used. Nor does “ends justify the means” seem apt, either. In the few words you have used, you seem to make him out as someone who would fit right in with today’s terrorists. I gather he thought everyone should vigorously oppose big government, but not crash planes into buildings to do it. How about: Henry David Thoreau: Grow a pair.

Nope,was an old dude with a long moustache.

A trollop was a lollypop given to each rider on the trollies and cable cars of San Francisco on occasion of the tenth anniversary of public transportation in that city.

It’s true, I tell you.

I watched a lot of cartoons growing up. I can’t say what my favorite was because I liked different shows at different ages.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Darkwing Duck
X-Men
Batman

I can go on and on… lol

Anyways I have a word request.

I got home from work tonight and we have a snow storm here in Colorado. So I turned on some Christmas jazz and made a cup of Hot Cocoa. After watching tonight’s HotForWords, I was wondering where the word Cocoa came from? I know chocolate comes from the cocoa bean but I would like to know the origin of the word Cocoa.

Thanks

Conservatives believe in conforming to existing law and then, if change is desired, changing the law. “Ends justifying the means” would be the opposite I would think.

Cream-cheese-frosting bikini!

It’s middlin’ (short for middling). Fair to middlin’ means something (or oneself) is in a good state (said of health, etc.) as distinguished from poor/bad or extraordinary/outstanding. It is typically a rural phrase, and I feel safe in saying that it has not been uttered at a YouTube Live show.

Speaking of which, Marina, if anyone from the media gives you any lip, just say, “You’re slower than dial-up, aren’t you?” That’ll squelch ‘em. (It’s cool, it’s hip, it’s tech and you heard it here first.)

The singers name is Bob Rivers, but i still like it

You sleigh me.

You have to make sure, though, that in the other languages hot also refers to passionate interest vs. merely temperature.

Good point!

:mrgreen: great very good my b day is on the 14 can you say somthin about it and where did the word December come from
thank you so very much luke!

Your double-spacing set off my virus detector. You know the purpose of those things is to “read between the lines” of the software, and of course those were all blank. I received a letter of complaint from the little man in my PC, which was as cordial as can be, but he said he knew some very rude words, and if the spacing wasn’t stopped, I would be sorry.

@ Buzzword,
Do you think for one, one thousandth of a second that I’m falling for that one!!! :twisted:

@ PageDoll,
Sorry PD, My hard drive’s directory might be toast. I think I might have lost all those links. I just googled ‘word games’. On of my projects I want to complete is to make a side bar full of word games.

And, Marina, you can throw marshmellow in there, too. And, as we all know, marshmellows rise to the top and float on the cocoa, so that means you have do marshmellow first.*

Don’t you like russian vinipuch animation?

Thoreau, himself, did not use violence. (He actually did very little. One thing he did, was to not pay taxes, that’s about it.) He was, however, a huge propenent of the use of violence. For example, he admired John Brown after the “Pottawamie Massacre” in Bleeding Kansas and after Harper’s Ferry. Brown used violence as a means to end slavery. I did not criticize Thoreau for his advocacy of violence, I simply contrasted his beliefs against those of Gandhi and King.
Thoreau did believe that whatever means necessary were okay, as long as the cause was just and the participant was worhy. He said, “The question is not about the weapon, but the spirit in which you use it,” and concerning Brown, “I think that for once the Sharp’s rifles and the revolvers were employed in a righteous cause.”

I guess you are using some coloring effect to simulate the appearance of comic book printing, but it reminds me of using a film color negative, which I detest. Yuckkk!

However, your breaths are looking good. :grin:

Thank you for the edit! Don’t worry about the bozos who abuse it; we will bombard them with unceasing and merciless criticism and also poo-poo them.

Say, I wonder if I should grow a beard? What do you think? I’ve been told that women find that a beard makes a man look extinguished.

Yeah December should be the tenth month. October should be eight, and September, uh… I forget. Septa is seven? Our numbers are off! :mad:

CK, I left you a reply down there (v) somewhere, but I am too tired to go on. I give up, you win, Thoreau was a … whatever you were saying. Peace to you and yours.

ACME does seem to be a pervasive enterprise. However, you may not understand where the name comes from. It is not the word acme, which would put in the same company with paramount, zenith, paragon and the like. It is an acronym:

Made
Explosives

It’s true, I tell you.

Okay, you deserve to know. It was Anne Frank. When I think that a fifteen year old girl wrote that, it chills me.

I have always said. First rule of COBOL Programing is not to talk about COBOL Programing. Second rule of COBOL Programing is NOT to talk about COBOL Programing. Sorry COBOL make me crazy nuts so weird rats, like now. hahahahah.

Hummm yeah the quotes are random. Well sort of. There is no such thing as random on a computer. I think they are from a list that Marina found on the internet. Maybe its time to make a new list, hu?

Typed, saved, and printed. Thx mate, I think it is gonna be killer. {somebody puts a 20 into nathan’s PayPay account.} :mrgreen:

This is a joke, right?

• “too tired”
• “give up”
• “you win”

How un-Thoreau-ish. :smile:

OK, that’s it. He found the flaws. By order of bsomebody, every recipient of the HFW calendar shall immediately destroy it and await the new one with a more correctish month-name arrangement.

hi marina, I would like to know the origin of the word etymology
thanks

“People are more interested in quickies these days.” I said hastily.

Hi Marina
my favorite cartoon when i was little was Tom and Jerry…. come to think of it thats still my favorite cartoon now :lol:

I got a Christmas card from my solicitor last year which asked the question, “What do you call Santa’s little helpers?”
Answer: Subordinate clauses. :lol:

so , what about anime ?

HI Marina,

Ну, погоди!- Ну заяц, ну погоди! – :smile: I liked it!

“Hare and Wolf” (also published under the title “Na, warte!”, “Wolf und Lampi” and “Nu Pagadi”) is one of the best known and most successful Soviet cartoon series, particularly in the former GDR states.

btw: превысокомногорассмотрительствующий –> sounds like melody.. :wink:

So long!

hey beautiful, im new here and i was wondering if i could request the word “Babe”. if not, its cool i enjoy ur videos either way.take care=)

Hey – how about doing a few Christmas words:

Yuletide? Yule log? Yule? What does that have to do with Christmas?

Christmas? Where do they get the “mas?”

Sleigh? Why isn’t it a sled?

Deck the halls? Deck them? What the…? You deck someone when you punch them and knock them down – why are we decking the halls with boughs of holly?

Here we come a “wassailing?” What is that?

Santa Claus? Where’d that come from?

I’m sure that others know of some words that we use every Christmas, but have no idea why….

Actually, you do observe the rules
of the jungle (you just don’t know it).
Rule #3 – Move with the herd.

Holly. Why not Holy?

Hi from new zealand how about the word KIWI or maori

Bob and Doug :mrgreen:

How about the word Dust Bunnys why not just say dust.

Wow! I was just thinking about this when I saw your request. :mrgreen:
(See above)

Marina, one song from Babe just for you :mrgreen:

G’morning, how are you today? :smile:

Hi Marina
Your video teaches me many words and it’s very amusing. Your dog is also cute .Oh and I would like to request the origin of the word seminar since in Thai there is a word sammanar which comes from seminar.
I’ll be very happy to see your video about this word :grin:
Thank you
Asturias

Last night I witnessed the greatest display of Christmas lights ever, picture yourself park in front of a huge house with ten matching windows, the front door, the edges of the house, trees & various dancing elements trimmed out in lights. You set the car radio on a certain frequency and rockin’ Christmas music blasts out of the speakers, all while the lights are dancing in sync to the music.

The intensity builds as the crescendo come towards the end of We Three King, fantastic!
Just when you thought it could not have gotten any better an electric guitar version of Tchaikovsky ‘s Nutcracker March plays, imagine every note is a difference set of lights blinking in rhythm.

Totally outstanding display.

See if this link works for Nutcracker March

OK.
All caught up on my lessons.

My favorites cartoon was Mighy Mouse.

Wonder if there is a listing for HotForWords?

I brought bagels & some hotties um.. hot tea :grin:

March used to be the first month, way back in Roman times. July and August were Quintilis and Sextilis (5&6) before they were renamed after Julius and Augustus.
Which reminds me…the first Roman emperor had epilepsy. Hence the name, Julius Seizure. :roll:

My favorites cartoons are Tom and Jerry , Ну, погоди! and South Park!! As for me, they are the best!!

These people went out and bought an FCC broadcast license just to entertain people at Christmas time, how nice is that :???:

Hi Marina!

Again I’m requesting a word, with high hopes this time!

‘Hector’ is a verb meaning to bully, and seeing as it’s my real name, I thought I’d ask how it came about. It would be interesting!

Thanks!

Oh, I do know it, but I also know that I can make choices.

Notice that the cars are moving without the aid of an engine? I wonder if that video is on the level? :grin:

Dust occurs in a even distribution, whereas dust bunnies are clumps of dust (or they would never be noticed).

speaking of dust, we have all seen many times on TV the archealogical layers in the ground. If you go back a certain number of years, you are at this depth and if you go back farther, it is even deeper. In order for this to happen, dust or dirt or something must be falling continuously to build up the earth. If this is so, then it must be so that the entire earth is slowly increasing in diameter. It also follows that if it is depositing in one place, it must be coming from another place. Where is that place and why are the places on TV always the ones where the deposition is taking place?

Signed,

I can’t believe the sky is falling.

No, that’s monkeys. Cats could couldn’t care less.

Bug report. Twice I have edited and twice after the successful edit message, it didn’t return to the blog and show the edited msg until I hit the back button. First IE7 shows “Error on page” and then it just sits there with “Done.” After using Back, it returns to the blog and everything looks normal. I have only seen this today and only on this lesson. Editing on Origami minutes earlier worked fine. The original posting of this msg was also OK, but an editing of it caused this problem for the third and fourth times, so it is repeatable. The edits themselves are OK; the problem is returning to the blog.

I doubt that. Getting a license, even a temporary experimental one, involves a lot of technical work such as plotting the curves of radiated power on a map, etc. Using a device designed not to broadcast very far (low power — milliwatts), say in the range of a few hundred feet, even in the broadcast bands, does not require a license. Of course, one would be wise to choose a quiet frequency so as not tick off the neighbors by interfering with listening to local stations or even those of surrounding cities.

The FCC is not going to bug anyone over this unless you pump out a few watts smack on top of licensed station or offer competition to the big boys by establishing a more-or-less permanent station. (Money talks.)

And while you’re at it, you could do the origin of the full nar.

Hey propero811, it is nice to see you post here again… I don’t even know exacly why “Dec. 25th”. Most scholars like to argue about stuff like the dates of things, etc.
I think the “mas” part of Christmas is just kind of a religious mass type service, celebrating Christ’s birth & the “deck” thing is probably just short for decorate.
“Wassailing” not even a quess, as my unresearched other ones were, but I imagine cpt. Jack could take a stab at it, if given 1/2 a chance, as “sailing” is part of the word.
Santa Claus , Saint Nick, different all over the world, Sinter Klaus even. Would probably be good lesson for “M”

land line is ending…………break through bounce, early spirits….beet juice :razz:

You what…? :neutral:

A kiwi is a fruit used in the manufacture of shoe polish.How a green fruit produces a black polish, exactly, is a closely-guarded trade secret.

It’s true, I tell you.

I think the ringtone promotion is over. I tried many months ago and had the same issue. Let me find out if the ringtone promotion is truly over.

you forgot the word, “bore”.

wheres your shirt ? Do we need a shirt in the privacy of our own homes? :grin:

Yuletide was discussed recently here.

A sleigh is a fancier vehicle for riding upon. A sled is a simple vehicle, to which one might be strapped to for transport like a dead carp, a less desirable experience.

So I guess he was an old stick-in-the-mouth. :grin:

Daffy Duck…he’s a selfish, greedy, opportunistic reprobate like me.

Well, it doesn’t chill me at all. What she wrote is beautiful, even more when we think about the kind of world in which she was living. Although I must admit I tried once to read her diary, but couldn’t finish it (out of boredom I guess). But now that you make me think of it I guess I’ll go back in my library and open this book again. I think making fun of dead or living souls, or try to conceil the way they thought is a clear insult to their memory.

I could stand St Augustine’s confessions, though, although I didn’t like him a lot. Everybody is a product of his time. But sometimes it appears that there are some bugs on the production chain, and some people become kind of impermeable to the subliminal propaganda of the moment. Just like Augustine who wrote his confession and died while his city, Hippo, was besiedged by the Vandals. What he wrote, given the troubled times in which he lived, is simply remarkable.

my favorite cartoons, besides the Looney Tunes, were Space Ghost and
Johnny Quest…

but animation has come a bit further since those days…witness the two-dimensional Christmas funny deer and, more particularly, the near-three-dimensional
Evolution of Dance2…

but i daresay Marina could make anyone more animated than usual… :cool:

omg…an edit function!…ty, Marina!

lithuanian?

Hey Cap, Ya’ll forgot the bus driver! 10,992 legs

Somebody shaved His moustache and stole His horse! Song sounds familiar tho!

A couple of the places from which ‘stuff’ is originating:

-Mountains

-The Earth’s molten core

A couple of ways said ‘stuff’ is being moved:

-Rivers

-Volcanoes (both on land and submerged underwater)

A couple of places the ‘stuff’ is being deposited:

-River deltas

-The Mid-Atlantic Ridge

…just my speculation, but I think I’m on the right track… :grin:

mine were Dragon Ball when goku was called “zero”, GI JOE, Voltron, Transformers and Thundercats

Mine would have to be Thunder cats. but my favorite one now is star wars the clone wars…. :cool: :cool:

I liked Foghorn Leghorn the best, but Yosemite Sam, Goofy and Donald Duck were right up there. Some people might prefer Huckleberry Hound, but myself, I always liked El Kabong better (who happens to be starring on Utube right now). Snaggletooth wasn’t bad either. Special mention oughta be given to Gidney & Cloyd and their scrootch gun. Boris & Natasha are very cool. Felix the Cat and the Master Cylinder are not on my list, but deserve mention because they were so bad they were good. I forgot to mention Popeye, who called dogs, “dorgs”, for all you dorg lovers out there. Has anyone ever seen the Bosko cartoons? Bosko was a trollycar operator who liked jelly sandwiches and romantic picnics with his girl, Honey.

I loved watching Transformers and G.I.Joe, plus GoBots. Then there was Scooby Doo and The Justice League, as well as The Incredible Hulk & He-Man and the Masters of the Universe. Can’t forget Voltron and ThunderCats, too.

Good guess. You too?

…hypnotic boobs!

Simpsons

I enjoyed watching Space Ghost Coast 2 Coast. But I later heard the guy who did Space Ghost’s voice is certifiably insane. (Don’t know if that is true or not.)

That Christmas Basket Case was pretty good. :smile:

Reminds me of an Animaniacs episode.

That got me thinking of Grape Ape.

Kinda sounds like a demon that isn’t gay. :mrgreen:

How sad can we men get???Of course i ‘ll have to admit that she is hysterically adorable but salivating over a u-tube persona and posting comments for her and making word requests…As if this very beautiful and above all CUNNING Russian vixen will ever read anything of what we post for her or that she even has the time to bother about all her loving fans.We as a species are so naive.

She is not simply funny, she is a cunning linguist. :mrgreen:

This was awesome!

Thanks! I wish I could have animated it really, though!

Stick around for a while. You will find that even though Marina is very busy and quite professional, she is also a caring young lady. Get to know her, first. :cool:

Doesn’t Animare come from the noun Anima meaning soul?

Marina, here is a cool animation used by navidia to highlight their software. Free software for the PC though :sad: :sad:

Capman911 Replied:

I emailed Marina about your problem with YouTube I know her answer back is slow, but she gets a lot of mail. She emailed this back for you to try.

He needs to use an email service other than msn (hotmail) as they block all my emails as well.
Tell him to set up a “gmail” account and use that for both You Tube and for HotForWords site..

Marina

Hope this works for you.

Mike

Marina, Here check this out

I liked popeye and bugs bunny is my favourite too!

And Anime is a japanese type of animation too!(just so you know)

That looks like fun because I downloading it. I seen the video and I love to animate things such as pivots!

Did you see the video over on Marina”s resolutions video post. I posted a link there as well.

Yes it is still in the animation series but its japanese. For example Naruto,Fruits Basket,Death Note,Inuyasha(dog demon like this :twisted: ), and etc. There is a website on Anime called for some best source(and its a tv show too XD)^^.

This technology will be used as a way to customize movies so if there’s a particular actor or actress that you like to see a lot of you will have an animation menu with tools and options to create characters real time in movies you watch. Movies like Casablanca, Disney’s Shrek, Educating Rita, enjoy your favorite stars in dvd format. When the adult film industry gets a hold of this people will never leave their homes. Any movie you want Marina to star in? :eek:

:idea: ok you take 7×2=14 but then 14×7+2 i skip the backpack because what if the dont have legs? so take 14×7+4 since each cat has 4 legs which is 102 but 102×7+4 then get 718…. wow thats alot of legs :!: :lol:

:grin: Right oh bsomebody. We hotforwordians know Marina is a lot more than just a youtube persona or a cunning sex vixen, we don’t degrade her in that manner with such generalizations and annoying cliches :roll: Cyndi Lauper says “girls just want to have fun” well, males of the species happen to enjoy fun also, and I say right here, right now I shall support the right to put GENT back into intelliGENT before going with any shallow opinionated view that I do not agree with.

Not that there’s anything wrong with being a cunning sex vixen coz I’m not making it out to sound like a horrible thing

Calm down that software isn’t too the point that you can replace live actors with animated artificial ones and they look as to be real actors, its for fun stuff.

I don’t understand how that can’t be considered fun, it wouldn’t really be replacing it would be customizing an avatar to fit into a movie character role but I see what you’re saying, don’t want to be placing the cart in front of the horse. Heck, it will happen tho, look at how realistic gaming technology has become.

i liked the movie who framed roger rabid!

Oh cool, I Love Bugs Bunny too =D hmm and the rest on the Bugs and Daffy show but Bugs the most lol

Tell me how you like our Father’s horses?

The little girl says at the end “I know where a dead armadillo is wanna go see it’?

hello marina
I like to have a postcard of you
if it’s possible or a video for me
thanks

Mine was or rather still is Tom and Jerry.

animation eh .. how about
heavy metal (1981)

Why do all english words derivate by an italian word or verb? Animare is italian language. I can understand it ’cause it’s in my mother language!
