Origami

Wow

:smile: :smile:

Hello

Hi guys

How’s that for a thumbnail? :-)

Congratz BillyB. WOW this one came up fast again. M must be on a roll. :grin:

Congratz John on being second. :smile:

Hello, yes, yes that is a nice thumbnail

Hey Wetsuit, good to see you again. :grin:

Kewl M. :grin:

How is it Meh if it gives you a big smile?

I think the paper fold game goes by a few different names. Snap Dragon, Fortune Teller or Coootie Catcher. Probabaly depends where you grew up. We called it a Cootie Catcher.

Gotta find my Ice Diving pictures and join the seasonal pictures.

Marina,

Are you really from Russia? I know the question sounds stupid, but the game you described in this video is similar to one we played in grade school. What really concerns me, though, is how similar children are, but how intolerant we become as adults.

A little consistency is all I ask!

hi, marina! with the financial crisis affecting the U.S. as well as other countries around the world, i was wondering where the word “bailout” came from? thanks! :smile:

Just played that game yesterday with the kids, that folded piece of paper is somewhere around the house.

From out of the cold North BillyB appears :grin:
Congrats :cool:

Don’t butter her up! :grin: :roll:
…too bad no ‘groan’ emoticon

Gunforever – yeah, I remember that request :mrgreen:
(thought his name was guMforever – LOL, sorry)
I make paper cups, DVD sleeves, and paper balls.
The kids like the paperballs, best. Cranes and swans, etc.
are more fun if you have the decorative Japanese origami
paper, but are art and not so much function.
What I like about paper is that it has memory :cool:
Once creased, it retains the memory of which direction
it was originally folded. this allows for true/false, yes/no
codes to be embedded in a message. The courier doesn’t
know the real message, either. Slick, huh?
Homework: All the little girls played that when I was into
four square and tetherball, on the playground. They’d
come up to me and ask me to pick a number and a color,
then they’d be off giggling, again. Guess they made a
“fortune telling” game out of it. I never got into it, so
I don’t know the name. “14 and green” LOL! :mrgreen:

I just went through Google and couldn’t find anything on it. But I believe we called it Fortune Teller too. :wink:

WOW i am touched! thank you marina for taking my video!!
LOVE YOU!! but you have a mistake! it’s not guNforever, it’s guMforever

I do not know what we call it. My wife taught our granddaughters how to make those just acouple weeks ago. I played, but did not help make them. I can do “double double this this,” though.

Canned rats! on your vid request. :razz:

you are right ^_^

Whoops… sorry I misspelled it! I put an annotation over it :-)

Ice diving? I think I will stay on the shore and drink one of Che’s hotties hot teas :twisted:

That changes the dynamics of the word

Yeah – good request! :mrgreen:
Does it come from bailing water to save a
ship from sinking(?) or is it to give the
top executives a “golden parachute” to
bail out of a plane before it crashes?
AIG used some of their BO money for the
latter – Automakers look like they will do
the same thing.

все в порядке!! спасибо за видео!! ту лучшая учительница! Надеюсь ты поняла, что я сказал!

Homework: We used it like a ‘fortune teller’ before the ‘magic eight ball’ was invented. We wrote the answers under the inside flaps, and I think we asked questions, manipulating the thing for each syllable. Then, someone held two pairs of them together, made a face on it and thereafter, we used it as a bird-like hand puppet. :grin: Thanks for that lovely time-travel trip to my youth! :grin: :grin:

I can’t see you thumbnail it’s hidden in the folded paper thingy :razz:

Wow! Teach is fast! What is her secret?

exactly!

hi marina, why do not start from the beginning? I would like to know the origin of the word etymology
thanks

Speedy Gonzales is so funny in Spanish
I had a chance to see a couple of episodes while in MX :cool:

What do you charge for your folding crafts? Is it paper view? :grin:

Hard to find on TV nowadays, not PC. :roll:

Pav I am not cutting you down, but you and James look a lot alike. :grin: Congratz on the video request. Gumforever :wink: :grin:

I used to be able to make a sort of helicopter but I forgot how.

Calander came, not signed, only slight itty bit of damage (corner) from shipping, but it arrived… better than a farmers almanac… some months are going to be too hot for words. Now where do I hang it, hmmm… I know my wife is good at these kinds of though choises, so I better not ask her. Hmmm, Keep out of reach of customers, they wouldn’t want my free calanders, & may be tempted to steal it. Must be visible but not overpowering.
Thanks for doing the Calander BTW… did it go better than expected, as expected or still have copies left?

lol)) may be we are similar)) ^_^

I thought it was James, at first. When he started talking, it kinda arced my brain thingies for a second or two. Have you ever had a drink, and it was TERRIBLE Coke, then realized it was tea and it tasted pretty good? :???:

I just fold paper on the fly.
fly… paper… flypaper!
That’s a joke, son :mrgreen:
[best Foghorn Leghorn]

Sneaky. I had to say it out loud three times. :evil:

are we really look alike? :???: :???:

Came straight from a HFW “Tweet”… stupid me, twittering my life away.

It might just be the context. I guess I expected it to be James, but I do think you favor each other a tad.

The NRA called, time to renew your membership :mrgreen:

better get a DNA test if you want to prove he’s not your brother :mrgreen: (where the heck is the right place to use the mr. green guy?)

:mad: Hey chacha! No cutsies! :mad:

I told him the same thing earlier. I think he looks a lot like James also. :smile:

Origami is a kind of dry sausage that is sliced and, along with a cheese made from rancid soy sauce and flavored with shoe polish, is used to make the Japanese equivalent of pizza. It is not made in the familiar round pizza pie shape, however. It is traditionally prepared as a single slice for the simple reason that no one ever eats more than one slice at a time, and typically, not more than one or two bites at a time. The remainder of the slice is folded up and used as a container to neatly package the waste from the serving of the meal, leaving no crumbs, napkin, etc. behind, which would be considered impolite.

Statistics reveal that the average Japanese eats this dish about once every nine years, which is the time it takes for the eating of the last one to fade from memory. The dish’s name, literally translated from Japanese, is “I forget what it tastes like.”

It’s true, I tell you.

Marina your last Twitter pic doesn’t work any more. What was it a picture of?

James is about a year older, I think…
He is hitting his maturity – deeper
voice, outgrowin’ his shoes, etc.
Pav does look a lot like James, in his
early videos. Heh heh! I think we
may not always have been a good
influence on the boy.. He can cuss
up a storm when he feels irked! :mrgreen:

Charlton Heston style Origami

His daddy must have been a sailor. :lol: or could have been us too. :shock:

So they have passed the basic twin physiological test — they both have two eyes, two ears, one nose, one mouth and 416,386 dandruff particles. :grin:

sakit to me!

:shock: Did Cap just say he was James’ Daddy?

Oh my… it was something capman, couldn’t believe how fast the censors jumped all over it… too much for us old guys anyways. Probability of heart attack 75% if I saw it again. Just be thankful you missed it.

@BillyB Now that is what I call awesome

Who needs spitballs when you have ‘paper AK 47′

My laptop actually started smokin’! :shock:

Timothy Moll was one of the members of the Donner Party, which was a pioneer group traveling westward from St. Louis, Missouri to California. Etymology is the study of his fate in that terrible winter of 1846. Delicacy and respect for Marina’s sensitivities prevents me from going further into this subject.

It’s true I tell you.

Dang I am willing to take that chance. Can’t live forever you know. I want to die like a rat and leave it at that. :lol: There is more to that joke than what I told. :lol: :lol:

Marina find the picture please, I have got to see it. please please. :twisted: :lol: :lol:

Now, I am getting Cap and Che confused. Homminy and Grits! I think I need some rest. :roll:

Could it be that you’ve both been smokin’?

They could almost be twins. :smile:

Smoken and token :twisted:

can’t believe you missed that Capman :shock:

LOL i want to see the reaction of james ^_^

I’m the one WITHOUT the ears sticking out of my hat :shock:

Yea and mine is bigger, ears that is :lol: :lol:

Silly me. I guess I got the urban legend story. I knew it was from the Donner Party, but I thought it was ’cause they et ym ol.

and Che even has his name on his hat. Somebody needs to start paying attention.

You’re wrong, CK. ETmology is what they study in area51 – identification, physiology and psychic capabilities of ExtraTerrestrials.
I saw it on the TV so it must be true. :grin:

Details! We need details! :mrgreen:

I haven’t a clue what the game is called – never seen anyone playing that before.
I was taught how to make a Japanese Crane (what a coincidence!) by a delightful young Japanese girl, many years ago, but I’ve forgotten how to do it. (Make the Crane, that is.)

Homework: can’t remember, it has been so long since I have seen one of thoses.
Extra credit: I can do MoneyOrigami
eg: bow ties, frogs, rings, etc…

:shock: Wow! Can’t believe that AWESOME picture was removed :!:

I have no idea what that game is called. Haven’t seen anyone play that paper folding game since I was in jr high or a freshman in highschool or somewhere along that time. I can fold simple designs from paper but its not anything I was every interested in much, mostly paper airplains.

(Cocktail)

Not in the literal sense of a birds feather, but rather cocktail as in an alcoholic beverage… “A mixed drink”

A sentence as reference to the words usage:

(I do not prefer beer or wine, but a strong cocktail would hit the spot.)

Who started this word, and how was it related it to alcohol?

Thanks!

:grin: :!: :grin: :!: My Calendar should be here today :!: :grin: :!: :grin: :!:

The abstract has been extracted too.

HA he does look like my… Going to grandads birthday party now.. Will reply when i get back.

Check out my hat now Bob :twisted:

Another quote for the day

“I sit on a man’s back, choking him and making him carry me, and yet assure myself and others that I am very sorry for him and wish to ease his lot by all possible means—except by getting off his back.”

“Leo Tolstoy (1828-1910)”

Tell him happy birthday from all of us James, and may he have plenty more. :wink: :smile:

Smokey have you seen the fold of a $20 and it makes the twin towers in flames. I can’t do it, but I have seen it done.

organic farts word request

Hi,

I requested this in the last video, but here it goes again :

My name is Hector, but I see that it is also a word meaning to bully? I am interested in how this word got its meaning!

Thanks
Hector! :mrgreen:

For all of you who would like to get rid of that monster next to your name just click on the monster and it will take you to the http://www.Gravatar.com site where you can upload a picture that you want for your Gravatar. Just use the same email address as you did when you signed on to Marina’s site.
If you want to link a web page to your name go to the dashboard at the top of the page and enter it then click on profile. There you will see about halfway down the page a place to put a web address, this turns your name blue and members can visit your site or Youtube site. If you run into any problems just ask and we will help. :grin:

It’s like riding a bike some thing you never forget. :wink:

OOOO listen, you can hear a pin drop it got so quite in here. Everyone must have gone to lunch.

Where does the word “HOLIDAY” come from?

name of the game is, cootie catcher.

…Haven’t forgotten about the question on the quote

“Just look at the rose, and its form and color, the fine lovely texture of its petals and its sweet aroma. It is only because the sweet spirit that animates it knew how to adapt itself to its environment and to attract all that was needful for its growth and perfection, that the rose became what it is. The same law holds good on the human plane. Let us be like the spirit of the rose and we, too, shall dispense the benediction of our qualities to all that pass by.

…Just that, at the time, didn’t want to admit that I snagged it off the “occult page” I thought mijj got his quote from. I’d been looking also, at some of Solomon’s writings in Ecclesiastes, admittedly… been feeling the pinch of my horizontal view of the world as of late. I actually get some pleasure coming to this site… when I have time, & at the moment I’m a couple hours late for work… hope they missed me. gtg… back to the horizontal world.

That’s an unfortunate metaphor. :wink:

Homework :cool:
I can’t remember what that game was called. It used numbers, colors, and maybe told your fortune. It’s been so long since I’ve seen that game. As a kid I used to enjoy making paper snowflakes! Don’t know if it was origami, but it was fun! :grin:

Above Comment #100 :grin:

i was wondering where the word “bikini” came from

ROFLOL!!! Thanks, Buzz!

Marina, would you be so kind as to extend the edit window to ten minutes? If one has more than one link in a msg, it takes a few minutes to test them and then troubleshoot any problems. This gets a bit harried (especially, I would expect, for newbies) under the 5-minute pressure. If one can’t make the deadline, one is forced to replace the msg with a period (.) to, in effect, cancel it and then repost the msg to gain another 5-minutes.

The first time one of us geezers totters over due to a heart attack from the terrible, terrible pressure, you will regret it*. Besides, you can always set it back to five if need be.

—-
*Unless it’s me, of course. Then everyone will have a party and you will wear your cream-cheese-frosting bikini. And I won’t see um, a lick of it. :sad:

Just sent you a direct tweet, Mike, but it’s not showing up on my timeline. Let me know if you get it. :smile:
(Or rather if you don’t.)

We just beat that one to death a few lessons ago. OK, I am going to make a searchable database so that we can instantly find stuff like this and thus deliver instant disappointment instead of having to wait awhile. :lol:

:cool: Thanks Buzz! That brings back memories! Circle Circle Dot Dot I got my cooties shot! The funny thing is there really are cooties, it’s another word for lice! The cooties shot doesn’t get rid of them! :evil:

I got it Bob and thanks, I reciprocated back to you to follow you. :smile:

10 fucking minutes! your not turning in a damn term paper. when people are on here at the same time sharing in a immediate dialogue the time lag will fuck shit up. just post a corrected link in a reply.

I will try to describe it. (There must be an official origami language for this, but I have no clue.)

1. Fold a twenty in half the short way (left and right edges of the bill overlapping) so that Jackson is inside. This establishes the center crease.
2. Unfold and refold the long way (top and bottom edges of the bill overlapping) so that Jackson is again inside.
3. Place down so that the bottom of the Whitehouse shows right-side up.
4. Along the center crease fold both “wings” down on a 45 like you are making a paper airplane.

Grasp the paper airplane’s nose and hold up the tail vertically. One side is the Twin Towers on fire and the other is the Pentagon.

Who invented this and how did he go about it? Inquiring minds want to know.

I was looking to CK, but I couldn’t remember which video it was. :sad:

this is the link

Those ETs are basically monkeys, so they have to have their fur combed frequently to remove parasitic insects. That’s why the other name for Area 51 is Groom Lake.

It’s true, I tell you.

IT’S HERE IT’S HERE IT’S HERE IT’S HERE IT’S HERE IT’S HERE IT’S HERE IT’S HERE :grin: :grin: :grin:

When paper is outlawed, only outlaws will have paper.

i know the game under the name “heaven and hell” but i don’t know if that’s the name, you use in english.

Communism defined.

Not signed :sad: , but IT’S HERE IT’S HERE IT’S HERE IT’S HERE IT’S HERE IT’S HERE IT’S HERE IT’S HERE :grin: :grin: :grin:

I have some sad news for all of you that purchased a calendar. I must reveal it now, because it will come out sooner or later. Marina cannot write in our alphabet, only Cyrillic. In order to hide this fact, she did not sign any of the calendars. She is heartbroken about it and beside herself.

I have offered to console her by cuddling up with her in the closet (to keep Gorby from nipping at me), but says she is not that heartbroken and she mumbled a few words — I didn’t quite catch it — about something freezing over.

It’s true, I tell you.

I just got back from lunch and as I posted above

IT’S HERE IT’S HERE IT’S HERE IT’S HERE IT’S HERE IT’S HERE IT’S HERE IT’S HERE

:grin: :grin: :grin:

Don’t wear out the pages yet Smokey. :lol: :lol:

Well, don’t a piggy about it. Rip off one month for each of us and mail it out.

Either one of those sounds good to me.

conspiracy

Some oil rich Saudi prince is sitting on a beach in Dubai with all one hundred signed calendars. :-(

Phooey on that. That’s what editing is for — making one’s idiot mistatkes invisoble.

And look at the times in this “immediate dialog!” Your reply was way past my window even if Marina were to have granted my wish and extended it. And ditto for my reply. Anyone wishing to take advantage of it would have to work really hard at it, and to what advantage? Even I, making a reply to my own reply, was outside the window. FOR GOD’S SAKE MAN, CAN YOU NOT SEE THE FOLLY OF IT! STOP NOW, BEFORE THIS MADNESS KILLS US ALL! THINK OF THE CHILDREN!

We have nothing to fear but fear itself. —Dracula

I understand your worry about making html links work the first time. Its a pain in the ass. Marina had tried to make a plug in that would make it an easy click add a link button but it crashed the site. We can’t seem to find a stable plug in. Also Marina has like a dozen plug ins that she needs and it tends to drag down the servers. If you want to practice try out this link: http://www.hotforwords.com/html-in-comments/
My solution is I use to type code on a note pad and copy paste into the site. Thats the best tips I can offer right now. Maybe the next update to WordPress will a bit more stable with some of these plugins or the plug in programmers can do a better job cleaning up their code.

Dear HotForWords,

That happened to me one time in school, I couldn’t remember that game and I wanted some girls to make me one. And they were like “HUH?!” “WTF?” Cause I was showing them with my fingers what it was like….ahahaha :lol:

I guess its meant to but your gravatar looks like a face

Yeah that lesson has been done but I don’t know where it is. Can someone find that lesson and post a link here for okami91?

I would chat more today but I have to go out and film a few screen tests, work on some new ads for my school, saving the world, get some paperwork mailed out, clean up my yacht a bit, saving the world, fix my hard dive, did I mention saving the world?

Twitpic it when you hang it up- I did mine! :grin:

Dear совершенная Marina, It was very nice of you to make videos you could post during your trip to New York City. :smile: I hope many of your subscribers return the favor by buying your calendar and later, buying your DVD and books. Will you be back soon, or will you enjoy your birthday in New York City? :?:
One of the first things I folded from paper was airplanes. It was also useful to fold paper hats for shade from the sun. With waxed paper, we made hats for rainy weather. No, we didn’t make “dunce caps.” Some kids folded paper jewelry, such as rings or bracelets. I’d mail you a paper ring, but people here might get the wrong idea. :shock:
Your dear student, seesixcm6

I would like to add that the Gravatars are worth while for many website now use Gravatar.com for avatars. Make one avatar that works on many website. Its worth while investment in saving time not having to make a new avatar for every site you comment on. Oh did I mention this is free? :mrgreen:

Pepper and Salt as it is called

best wishes..

I was told the game was called fortuneteller.

I was wondering, what does Zemmiphobia mean?

Not signed? I need to find out who got signed calendars!!!

Catharsis, sweet Marina. I want to hear you talking long about the word Catharsis, or Katharsis.

Hey Seesixcm6 don’t worry what people on here think. If it makes you and Marina happy just for a moment then make her a paper ring. I think it would be cool to show how much you think of her. I know she would like it if someone showed her some personal attention. :wink: :smile:

Mike

There are some requests I just can’t reference back to which video Marina did to help the members. I know there are videos done on these requests and some that just touched on the request, but my poor old memory want let me remember. :sad:

Maybe you could post a poll? I haven’t seen anyone claim a signed one, and had mine been signed, I would certainly have given it to James and bought another for myself.

synonymy..greetings

Hi Hot for words:
Well, I don’t know what is the name of this game, but I remember I even did it to my parentents, xD life ironies..
well… yesterday I was talking with my cousin (we both love physics) and we want to know the origin of the word “CAPACITOR” we know what it is but we don’t know where its name comes from… so we want your help teacher..
Thanks…
God Bless You Marina
ciao!!!

Homework: I have heard it called fortune teller and cootie catcher, depending on how you play it.
I used to make origami ALL the time. I can still make a crane, a fortune teller, a plane, a inflated box, and a mouth. It was a lot of fun.

I am so sad that I couldn’t get you a birthday present. :sad: I wanted to, but I was afraid my parents would question why I bought lip gloss with my debit card. I hope you have a great one tomorrow!

Marina! and H-F-W users group!
The Oxford Junior Dictionary is discontinuing common words for more modern “hip” words.
Should we launch a protest? They are taking ‘beaver’ out of the dictionary… unreal!

I think the people at the calendar place kept them as souvenirs or mementos, now that would tick me off if You found out that was the case. :evil:

You could have just told them it was for chapped lips. That you just liked that special kind. :wink: :lol: :lol:

dosn’t “kami” also refer to the spirits within things? i think its only used in the shinto buddist faith though

Beatiful….beautiful….beatify….grace, blitzed :lol:

Why didn’t I think of that before? *hits head against wall* Maybe she’ll have a Christmas list?

Yipppppeeeeee!!!!! I got my HotForWords calendar today, just like FedEx said. Woww!!!! :grin: I’m worse than a six year old.

I wonder how she knew my birthday… she was looking just always right at me. :mrgreen:

Houses with musical Christmas lights are quite popular, YT had plenty of examples, last night I enjoyed this same song in a 20 minute show. We just tuned the radio to 91.5 FM. Best display of lights I ever experienced.

Ooooohhhh, I just saw an Edit link….. then, it went away. I think someone is adding the Edit feature. I know who is going to be soooooo happy. Can you say CK?

There you go CK, I am now editing the above comment, just to make you happy. :-)

But it must be a short lived edit cause I can’t edit the previous comment. Ooooo.

“To make a pig – ah, that requires great reflection,” remarked Don Miguel as he studied a square of white paper. Then with deft folds here and there, and with frequent pauses to consider the shaping of the paper, a highly complicated geometrical animal, unmistakably porcine, was gradually evolved. Smiling at the circle of students about him, he inscribed on this exemplaire of “arte salmantino”: “Made in Spain, by Miguel de Unamuno”, and handed it to a highly delighted American. Other eyes, eager and covetous, watched him as he proceeded to fashion a bird, a viking ship, a camel, a table holding, a flowering plant, while each recipient wore the beatific expression of one who has received a royal accolade.

The dinner gong sounded a knell to the hopes of the other onlookers, and the unsightly Duque de Alba bench and the iron chairs, that withstood so many generations of students, were deserted for the refectory tables.

Klaus she added that yesterday. It lasts for about five minutes unless she has changed it to a different time say 10 minutes. It did have a little pencil next to the edit button but now it’s gone.

origami , made some in my childhood , mostly just swans .
Marina now seems to be “uniform” about what she wears .
Pigtails and ponytails too

I myself prefer the ponytails. And I think they’re faster to fasten.

@Pkarl: Does your calendar have the coveted ‘Holy Inscription’? :???:

Either case, twitpic it when you hang it up! :-)

Sounds illogical to me:

They’re removing religious words because kids don’t go to church anymore.

So, when a kid hears some one speak about a nun, for example, where’s he gonna go to [not] look it up to [not] find out what it means? :roll:

Hi Marina,

You were making earlier was a fortune teller and an airplane. :smile:
Do you know the Japanese believe that if you make 1000 cranes. it will grant you one wish.

Gorby sure looks like he’s feeling better in your Twitpic, Marina. That’s wonderful to see!

Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
You make me so happy
Your lessons do, too!

I’ll take a chance on this one.. I’d say it comes from Greece. And let me tell you it was not exactly the same kind of boxing as the one practiced today. There is a very famous and realistic bronze from the first century B.C., with scars and broken nose, the Boxer of Quirinal

Happy birthday to you
You could be a bitch – that’s true
Though I’ll never meet you
I know that’s NOT true!

Homework: Page 2: I actually sometimes make a paper napkin rose, I learned to make in Rota, Spain, from a particularly lovely barmaid there. I occasionally leave them for waitresses that also earn an enhanced tip. :grin:

God. I can’t stop!

Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
I wish you were my girl
Woops – I’m married – boo-hoo…

if you consider posts other than your own, there are plenty of conversations that are immediate and occur with barely a minute between exchanges. i’ve had many of them. these exchanges are going to take much longer with each person waiting five minutes to reply to each other. further this isn’t the first time marina has added the edit button, last time it was for 3 minutes. 3 minutes was long enough.

My calendar placed where M watches over me all night. :cool:

http://i33.tinypic.com/qoudt2.jpg

well, I did have proof that i did the swan. It is take me about two to three week to make 500 triangle. As you can see my icon that I had money Origami that I made.$4= shirt, pant, and two boots.

why the hell do you assume “we” are all going to pissed off about this?

Dear Teacher. What is Cicerones (Ciceroni)

actually it was just to incite some comments like yours :lol:
I should have added some smileys etc. “to get my drift!”

HEY! ! good luck with that, saving the world thing, and what not…..

you bastard! i’m going to fucking protest you for this. it may be a very short picket line though.

Huh? :shock: Catharsis, eh?

Hey, thanks for that one aamc!!! I will go to bed less ignorant tonight. I had never heard this word before, and had to google it to know what it means. And it is a very interesting word indeed. And my desire to read Aristotle Poetics is growing stronger. Very cool!

:cool: :cool: :cool:

p.s. check out this pic I did of you!!!

…shades of aLx :shock:

Protest line>>> :mrgreen: :lol: :mrgreen: :lol: :mrgreen: :lol:

Dang I had to get my mommy to watch that one. WOW :twisted:

It´s a nice word, isn´t it?

And yes, off course I know it comes from Aristotle and it´s very important in the Poetics (really hard book).

But, don´t you want to hear this outstanding girl talking about emotions, compation and fear?

I want to see how she makes this.

In Van Halens song about California girls are the best in the world, Hummm Russia is very close to beating California. :smile:

hey are you trying to make a “we” out of us!

as he embraces his hfw calendar.

Absolutely. And I second your request. I would love to hear Marina enlighten us about the meaning of Catharsis. Or Katharsis. :smile:

it looks like brian the dog is toasting her with a martini.

neuroway, I can’t believe you said that! That quote had nothing to do with Dracula. It was a joke! Fear. Dracula. Get it?

It was said by Franklin D. Roosevelt in an address to the nation about the Great Depression. It’s been played on TV almost every single time anyone does anything on the Depression. (It’s like HO-HO-HO and Santa Clause; you can’t have one without the other.) I’m surprised the resident geezers didn’t jump right on that, unless of course, they got it straight away and just didn’t say anything. {Note to self: don’t expect too many yuks from history jokes.}

It was a talking birthday card from my son. Yea I didn’t think of it that way but it does look like he is toasting her.

***Technical philology note***
The initial consonant mutation of k to g (kami to gami) also occurs in the Celtic languages; e.g. cam (step) becomes dau gam (two steps). In Welsh, this mutation is called a treiglad.

Them are ducks
them are not
oh yes they are
see them wings
I’ll be
them are ducks

Errrrum ….. What’s southern speak have to do with orgami?
.

***WORD REQUEST***
Speaking of kami, how about kamikaze :?:
Or the sacred writings known as the kami sutra? :mrgreen:
Another Japanese word with curious etymology:
There’s a food they eat in Japan made of frozen extract of bovine mammary fluid (no accounting for taste) called aisukuriimu, that, curiously, has a cognate in English! :wink: HFW must investigate!

“russianboy” has competition!

Errum…not a damn thing. So, you’re a redneck?

That is a cool pic. Did you do it on Graphicmouse site or is that just an upload site? :cool:

And it’s not orgami.

That is sweet!

He hasn’t even taken the wrapper off of it yet. :lol:

wouldn’t the frozen extract of bovine mammary fluid be frozen milk, like in ice cream?

You should back farther away from your monitors, Capman.

I don’t know which plugin she used for the auto links. Maybe it was the one I recently wrote about here. I am familiar with “the sandbox,” but it’s not a matter of practice; I seem mistake prone and have to go back a fix things all the time. (That’s why I had to give up the airline pilot, brain surgery and tightrope-walking jobs. :???: ) And it’s not just a matter of links; I usually see several things I need to improve or correct. I know I could do it in Notepad and then paste it, but that’s work and I’m here for fun. Sheesh! You would think I had asked Marina to wear a burka with all the flack I’m getting over this. (Of course, if Marina and I were both in the same burka at the same time, I wouldn’t a give “canned rat” for what you guys were saying about it, now would I? :mrgreen: )

you are so incredibly hot! i’d love to see your origasmi! :-)~

Yepper. I’d take a guess, cut it short and call it “ice cream”.

Marina,

You make a better paper airplane then me.

I just got my calendar today (it was unsigned). March has just become my favorite month. You look great with your hair done like that. March “in like a lion out like a lamb”.

What is the origin of the word “blockbuster”?

He did say “NOT true!” With a capital N and a capital O and capitol T.

Kewl, I like it

Well, now that I have the HFW calendar,
every day is my birthday :grin: :mrgreen: :lol:

Unfortunately no, Fianchetto :sad:
Capman911 was the first to get the calendar and he didn’t get a signature.

Great pic :cool:

Glad you guys like it. I just hope Teacher is pleased as well.

I do lots of these. Graphicmouse is just one of the sites I belong to. Most of them are comicbook/superhero related.
Unicorn Comics is my site.

Must have been a boy scout – Semper Paratus:

2 computers

2 mice

2 radios

2 speakers

…all you need now is a spare HFW calendar in the event some catastrophe renders one of them out-of-service :mrgreen:

Can I request the word CELEBRITY?

@buzzword:

Who are you calling a bastard?? (not offended – just making sure you have the right guy…) :mrgreen:

LOL, Che! :mrgreen:

no no not you. sorry! the other bastard, the dude riding the bike.

“other bastard” implies both of us, I think… :mrgreen:

(still not offended, still just playing around! :grin: )

No one seems to be geting a signed copy.

Marina since you were born in a European time zone it may well be your birthday already.
Ahhhh to be at that awkward age, no longer a little girl not quite a women.
Have a Hap…Hap….Happy Birthday
XX8 is Great
XXOXXO

I want to ask for a word, please.
The word is “Gandy Dancer” specifically, “Gandy.” A Gandy Dancer is a person or persons that once used hand cars to go out and inspect and/or repair the railroad. They got the name by the “dance” they had to do to power the car by pumping up and down on the handle. I just want to know, where did “Gandy” come from and how the RR came to apply it, please.

You might as well throw in condenser, which is what they used to be called until… until… oh, I don’t what hair went up which nose to cause that change to happen. But when capacitors are used in old (Kettering) ignition systems or for filtering noise in autos, they are still called condensers for some reason.

My favorite capacitor is the gimmick. Do they cover that in physics?

damn, i’m trying really hard to piss you off!

…on her birthday? :roll:
nah, that was uncouth.

Now that was a good one!

I know kami is god . Maybe kamikaze is something to do with god . Oh , their emperor ….

somehow reminds me of obamagirl ….

:cool: :idea:

teeeheeeee ….. I left out the i …..

Speaking of that see my post below and I’ll make it up for everyone …..

nice walkie talkie :mrgreen:

Too obvious. :neutral:

uuuuhhh…who you talking about? Marina’s all woman — and I’m old enough to be her dad!

OK, maybe I need to pick something less obvious next time! :neutral:

Hello Marina.
Fold is oru in English?
Then if you want to say
I fold an origami paper.
This is a Japanese sentence.
watashi wa origami o oru(ori masu is polite).
Of course I learned origami when I was a child, but because I am single I forgot how to make a turu(a kind of bird most fundamental origami). I am trying now….
We do origami at kindergarten or in hospital on bed hoping to be good.
A word like do in Japanese is suru.
origami o suru(si masu).
are easy way.

Origami also has a small role in the classic movie Bladerunner. In the director’s cut, a piece of origami implies that the main character, Decker, played by Harrison Ford, is himself a replicant.

オリガミ!

Domo arigato for your explanation. :smile:

I can’t do origami, or at least I did not do it well the last time i tried it.
It is interesting to me that Russian school children made the same game out of paper as American kids did.

Eclectic. Say that word 5 times in a row.

Did you get my happy birthday video wish to you posted on the last lesson?

Cool Modern Origami Defined and Explained! :grin:

OK, one more post before bedtime.
New word: “MARINAMANIA”
A psychological disorder brought on by watching too many HFW videos, characterized by extreme infatuation, babbling inanities, making variously sweet and lewd propositions to HFW, and feeling abashed and contrite during recovery (if that phase is ever reached. :lol:

“Sukiyaki” brings back memories! :grin:

A truly moving and remarkable post, EO

Domo arigato.

I seem to remember something about “to each according to his needs.” Is that how they do it there? :smile:

It’s been such a long long time since I saw that last origami thing. I only remember them in elementary school. I think they were called cootie catchers and they were suppose to predict the future.

As for origami I cannot fold anything for the life of me. I can’t even make a paper airplane.

Why do you have to wipe down your screens? Have you been visiting one of those sites? :mrgreen:

You are obviously spaced out. Perhaps you’ve had just a bit too much “dreadablean.”

On a serious note, I understand that there was once a time when English had no punctuation. Everything written after that time was, of course, called a period work. (Arf, arf.)

maybe in the near future … :mrgreen:

do it quickly and you’ll get “allelic allelic allelic” lol

that word that word that word that word that word

This proves that not only can I read and follow instructions, I can count, too!

I strenuously object to the characterization contrite.

too true , took some time to read this

Too true.

‘ere ’tis, Marina.
A bit rough but good enough for a temporary gravatar. :smile:

Happy Birthday Marina :smile: :smile:

I agree

Hyper-cool!
How many bulbs were there in that garden?
Small wonder we have global warming. Do they only switch on when someone drives past and tunes the frequency?

Nice bodies but shame about the typical vacuous facial expressions. :neutral:

The tongue jams up at it’s roots. Whoever invented the word
was expecting too much from the tongue. Although what are the chances of using eclectic twice in a sentence, let alone, five times?

C’mon, Doug – think about it.
(And your site is sharp, by the way.)

:sad:

Hey marina, i was wondering if you could Explain the word ”Hobo”? i was wondering how can it mean a homeless person? :smile:

What, like they use for changing traffic lights, do you mean?

This technique, in it’s defense, generates some useful new words:

• cedon – n. A person who was sent out to buy beer, cigarettes, condoms or the like and was never seen or heard from again.

• sandsent – adj. Something which arrived on the desert winds. Used romatically in poetry to describe perfume, ideas or indescribably large oil fields.

• tali – n. That part of the body most likely to be whacked.

• rydific – adj. So horrible that it defies description (said of a the mythical happenstances encountered by cedons).

• ultifnotim – n. A threatened mythical and terrible act that will be committed by the utterer if a command is not obeyed by the listener. “I’m going to count to three! One… Two…”

• mostasjus – adj. Having a villainous appearance due to facial hair. “The mostasjus Sheriff of Notingham grabbed a handful of Lady Marian’s bum and kneeded it with a baker’s deft hand.”

• encesofth – adj. Hopeless helplessness (said of computer programs which requires a neverending series of patches and fixes, but which never become stable or perform as promised).

• degene – v. t. To pull off a woman’s Calvin Kleins, esp. in a swift and gleeful manner.

• alqueuesan – adj. So mild as to be cured by an over-the-counter medicine (said of hangovers or nausea).

• tanceandal – adj. Having obtained a state of complete relaxation marked by the involuntary occurance of mental images best described as, “Take this job and shove it” (said of vacations).

Happy Birthday Marina !!! :mrgreen:

But not rich enough to be her sugar daddy? :lol:

WLIU:
1. A WWII aerial bomb large enough to destroy an entire city block.
2. A chain of stores that rents movies designed to destroy an entire evening.

no shit ?!! :shock:
does look like gibberish

WLIU, it means devine wind, which was said to have helped the Japanese defeat Russia in a naval battle prior to WWII. It was applied metaphorically to the suicide pilots of WWII, who were to be the last-ditch effort to forestall the Allied onslaught heading for Japan.

{Not bad, if I don’t say so myself.}

If that doesn’t make a guy “faster than a speeding bullet,” I don’t know what will. :oops:

Happy Birthday to you!!! Happy birth day to you! Happy birthday dear teacher!! happy birthday to you!

Dear Marina,

I hope you have the most wonderful birthhday. You’re a sweetheart!

Always.

I second that emotion. :grin:

Happy Birthday Marina, Hope you get more than Origami made Pressies XX

Hello Marina! I’ve got a word request for the holidays. The egg part of eggnog would seem easy to understand, but where did the nog come from? What is a nog? Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and Happy Hannukah to everyone!

Eric M

Belated Happy Birthday Marina! May you have many more in good health and filled with many, many fun words!

Eric M

Received my calendar last night… stupid FedEx folks left the package on my doorstep without so much as a knock or a ring of the doorbell. :evil: Terribly bummed out that there was no signature from Marina. Like others, I ordered the moment they were available, but no dice. Oh well. :???: At any rate, I like the calendar very much… and the crochet bikini numbers are pretty hot… I’ll probably need to perform a few mitzvot for a Rabbi and confess to a Priest to make up for the silly ear-to-ear grin I’m wearing. I’ve heard that material like this can make a young man go blind… I’m just staring at it long enough to need glasses… with a heavy prescription.
:cool: <— photo of a blind historian

PS: Happy Birthday Marina

Happy Birthday, teach! I hope you got the pink Aptera I sent to the Captain for you. Sorry, best I could do for you. Have a wonderful day!

P.S. Give Gorby a ♥HUG♥ for me too! :cool:

Marina, is there any way to enlarge the edit window so as to display an entire message at once and not require scrolling? Alternatively, is there a preview plugin for WordPress to show what things will look like before posting?

Hugs and kisses for a happy birthday and good wishes to Gorby. I will post your present in the next lesson. It’s all polished up nice and sparkly just for you.

Happy Birthday Marina!
Thank you for being such a wonderful Teacher!
Have a Great Day.

Marina,
Поздравляю тебя с днём рождения, желаю здоровья, свободы, счастья, успехов во всём и вечной молодости! Пусть сбудутся все твои мечты!

Party Hats,
Captain Jack’s Party Dress outfit, and
Party Favors

Hotnouncement, it’s Marina birthday, for your special day I will over use the word HOT:

HOT DAM :lol:

You forgot the party Music :!:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YwEMxYggoKQ
The :cool: thing about this song & Marina thery’re both from 1980 :!:

Glad you remembered that. Cool and the Gang good music to dance and party by. :wink: :grin:

I’m not sure if we trigger it off somehow, I doubt it this how because the transmitter is only sending out,
I just think it’s a twenty minute loop that plays over & over.
I’m sure there is info if you Google ‘musical lights’ They must sell the effect in a package because I notice the music is the same. The package have:software, transmitter, some kind of box to connect the light to. Not sure if ppl need a broadcast license.

Good choice, cufan. :smile:
BTW, was that Che Volay playing the trumpet behind the singer? :lol:

I did think about. “HELLO”
I came up with “rude” and “uncouth”.
You need to think about how rude
it is to say what you said.
You made a bad call. Own it.
Thanks for checking out my page.

i really love that HFW deals with japanese words. good pronunciation!

“折り紙”　in kanji

Happy birthday Marina !

How about “deaf ears” or “wayside”,seeing as that is where my requests seem to fall on or go to.

first of all, HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARINA! secondly, does anyone know how i can upload a profile pic? also, i am still waiting for the word “zamboni”! i think it’s a real word?

с днём рождения – the Volga Birthday Song! :mrgreen:
“Ivan” Owen

Estas son las mañanitas que cantaba el rey david a las muchachas bonitas se las cantamos aquí
Feliz cumpleaños Teacher. mmmmua :)lips

Милая Марина,
Мне очень жаль за Volga Birthday! Вот маленкий подарок за Вас!
Иван Оуэн
Moscow Nights!
(I’m skeptical about the singer’s Russian, sorry if the accent is wrong.)

Las Mañanitas — с днём рождения по-испанксий!
Evan “Ricardo” Owen :grin:

Милая Марина,
Translation of otoray’s birthday message:
“These are the mañanitas [birthday songs] that King David sang to the beautiful girls; we sing them to you here.”
[This is a line from the Las Mañanitas birthday song.]
“Happy birthday Teacher.”

Tigtig, consider she has like 130,000 subscribers clamboring for attention! Crabbing is a good way to get ignored — be patient and positive! :smile:

Arigato — watashi wa kanji o wakarimasen! :smile:

that was a very accurate translation and a better good link to the traditional Mexican song las mañanitas thanks Evan Owen

@Camp:
OUCH :!: :evil:

I was sleeping fine until about 12:30 am and had to fire up the computer and nose around and see what was happening and decided to leave this message this morning.

HOMEWORK: I remember that being used for fortune telling.

EXTRA CREDIT: I’ve been doing a lot of origami these past few years. I’ve been pretty much doing all time of animals and polyhedra with a single square sheet. I’m trying to come up with my own complex designs. :cool:

Holiday :cool:

Coolest Origami EVER!!!! :cool:

(There are a few other videos I’ve seen it the past that are just as impressive, I’m still looking for them.)

What the HELL?! It’s not clicking to THIS LINK!

KAMIYA SATOSHI –Divine Dragon (and so on) :cool:

Origami Master :cool:

Reading that aloud, I’d get tongue-Thai’d! :mrgreen:

Here’s a man of wonderful imagination and WAY too much time on his hands! (Just doing my “Sarcasm” lesson homework!) :lol:

Well …..

Made you think LOL!

:idea:

“Holiday” comes from the phrase “holy day” and blending the two words together.

Happy Birthday Marina!

May all your dreams come true!

She does have a Christmas list. She brought it up a few lessons back. Just go here to look at it on Amazon.com.

Yeah, the Kami are the spirits of the indigenous Japanese religion Shinto. They can be deified powers or gods, clan ancestors, or the souls of the dead. That doesn’t have anything to do with Buddhism though, I’m not sure what you’re trying to get at with that.

Bah. I’d say lust is extremely more common than love.

Happy Birthday!

Like all so many Japanese terms, Ori-Gami is both simple yet very descriptive.

Another excellent video Marina.

I am sorry if I offended anyone esp. Marina.I thought it was a harmless jab,a joke of sorts.I figure Marina has a good sense of humor and would see it as such.Maybe a smile face would have helped.I am just having fun,while you calling me a crabber by assuming is not right.If you want to be the blog police maybe you should start with the womanizing comments about Marina,including your own,she is a human being not a piece of meat.I see her as a very pretty,smart,funny person with a girl next door friendliness,a good sense of humor and all the traits needed to be a star in America.If I wasn’t laid up with a back injury,waiting for an operation(soon),bored,with a lot of free time I wouldn’t even be blogging.So I really don’t need to hear about patience or or being positive.This is the ONLY channel I am subscribed to or blog on.Again,I was just having fun and kidding around.I don’t expect my requests to be used,although a reply from her once in a while would be nice. The TigTig

I used to remember the name of that paper game too, however I have also forgotten :lol:

I made a couple of origami things back in my high school days. One was of a crane, another was of a square box (harder than it first looks).

Actually earlier this year a friend of mine went to Japan, and she brought back some origami cranes that were sold by people in Nagasaki. It’s a shame how Nagasaki and Hiroshima, they will never be the same after what happened with the atomic bombs :(

douitasimashite

It’s amazing, Marina. The game you played at the end of the video reminds me of my childhood time. :grin: I used to play the same game. I remembered that I can make paper birds, frogs, planes, and balls when I’m in elementary school. The most useful one is paper boxes because they can be used when my family eat together (to hold the left-overs). Once I read a book of origami, I can even make paper flower, which is very beautiful. Thank you Marina. This video is really reminiscent.

The Japanese for origami is おりがみ (o-ri-ga-mi).

shinto-buddhism is the japanese form of buddhism, isnt it?

ah no wait shinto and buddhism are two different faiths but are very closly related. and practicaly co exist toghether in japan

Look down the comments a bit further to read what I wrote about the kami.

Well, yes and no.

Shinto is the ancient religion that is native to Japan. If you take the word “Shinto” itself apart it comprises the two words “Shen” and “Tao” which mean “Gods” and “Way,” respectively. So, Shinto is the indigenous Japanese religion of “the Way of the gods.”

Buddhism originated in India around the 5th-4th Centuries BCE. It eventually spread into China, and when the Japanese began to interact with China, it got passed along to them as well. But you’re right, Eish, they do indeed co-exist very well. If you get away from doctrine and look at the way religion is practiced there, the lines between Shinto and Buddhism can often get very blurry.

hey i just read your comment and i always thought that it meant ho-meless bo-dy :wink:

Looks like hiragana script. Hitoshi (below) says the kanji symbols are 折り紙”

I was surprised to see the national guard using an origami foldout as part of an Internet banner advertisement. Sorry, I don’t know how to save these ads.

Coolest Origami EVER!

The game is a fortune teller game. I remember using it to fool other people for fun. It.s very easy to understand. You make a certain number of choices, these choices leed you to a fortune inside at the end. This is why it is called the fortune teller.
