    Hi! Guys and Girls. :smile:

    Present,
    My favorite lollipop are the ones called Safety Pop, they have a soft flexible loop handle instead of a stick. The flavor of these pops are unique.

    I have not seen them around in years.

    Just read you on twitter… congrats’. Oh and all the best to you in the New Year.

  • http://www.youtube.com/user/mikemx32 Capman911

    Mine would be a Tootsie Pop® in chocolate.

  • http://www.youtube.com/annuddermale annuddermale

    is it me, or is there no HD for this lesson?…appears grainy to me…maybe it just takes more time to upload the HD version?…

    anyway, my alltime favorite lollipops are chocolate blowpops…closely followed by sour apple lollys…

    but it’s been a long time since i’ve had any – just not high on the list of necessities… :cool:

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

    She answers when she has the time or sees something she wants to reply to.

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

    Good one Gumforever,
    Happy Holidays to you as well :smile:

  • paramqqq

    oh did she ever rely to u smoky

  • http://www.youtube.com/pedantickarl pedantickarl

    Wow!!!
    Nice video russianboy!!! And, thank you for your kind greeting messages. Great video.

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

    Safety pops?
    sounds like it would be made out of foam rubber so you wouldn’t chip a tooth while sucking on it :grin:

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

    I don’t like sweets, except dark chocolate, so it would have to be an Ice Lolly or preferably Lolly.

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

    I liked the minimalistic technique of the video. :smile:

  • orion_ss1

    I haven’t seen them in a while but I used to love the shredded coconut covered in chocolate. They were always available around Easter but I haven’t seen them in a few years.

    If no one stopped me I could eat a bag of Nestles Crunch bars at one sitting. I guess its the crispy rice inside.

    Third favorite is a peanutbutter cup.

    I’d probably make a frownyface at almost any other kind of candy. :sad:

  • http://www.youtube.com/user/mikemx32 Capman911

    Thanks, Russianboy ie “Gumforever”, that was a cool video. Happy Holidays to you and many more. :smile:

    Mike

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

    Yes
    not every day but she has a few times.
    The best feeling is when she mentions you or uses your video request in a video like THIS or
    THIS

    Just click on the blue words

  • http://www.youtube.com/user/mikemx32 Capman911

    I didn’t see one either Tom. I went to her other site and there was no HD either. Must have been all that Kumbaya that she drank. :lol: :lol: or Gorby peed on the video cables. :lol:

  • http://www.youtube.com/user/mikemx32 Capman911

    there

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

    Smokey the handle was flexible and you could put your finger in the loop. So as a kid you could run around with it, if you fell the stick didn’t jamb up against your upper pallet.

    It was the flavor of these lollipops that was unique, distinctly different from all others.

    Somebody here must know what I’m talking about.

    That was funny; the allusion to “tail going around”.

    At 0:29, Marina says:
    “There is a tale going around,
    that the lollipop was named after a horse.”
    That just struck my funny bone. :lol:

    Yes I knew a girl named Lolly, she was Swedish but if I told this story no one would believe me. So you’ll have to wait until I publish my memoirs.

    PK I am going to get a picture of a friend that I worked with at the fire department and send it to you. He is also a Captain on our HazMat team. He looks identical to you. When I first saw your picture I said to myself, myself, that looks just like Nick Guay. They say everyone has a twin somewhere and your resides on the east coast. We rode MX together with our children. That’s why my name on my You tube site is Mikemx32. MX motorcross, 32 was my number. To old now to ride mx but I still like to ride the trails. :cool:

    Oh lolli lolli lolli
    Lollipop lollipop…..

    Call my baby lollipop
    Tell you why
    Her kiss is sweeter than an apple pie
    And when she does her shaky rockin’ dance
    Man, I haven’t got a chance

    I call her
    Lollipop lollipop
    Oh lolli lolli lolli
    Lollipop lollipop…..

    Sweeter than candy on a stick
    Huckleberry, chimry or lime
    If you had a choice
    She’d be your pick
    But lollipop is mine

    Lollipop lollipop
    Oh lolli lolli lolli
    Lollipop lollipop…..

    Crazy way she thrills me
    Tell you why
    Just like a lightning from the sky
    She loves to kiss me till I can’t see straight
    GEE, MY LOLLIPOP IS GREAT

    I call her
    Lollipop lollipop
    Oh lolli lolli lolli
    Lollipop lollipop…

    I’d like to know the true origins of the word tattoo. I’ve heard several possible and a few not so possible, so maybe you can set the record straight.

  • seesixcm6

    Dear совершенная Marina, You are beautiful when you wear red! Just a few more inches of cleavage on that dress and it would reach your bellybutton! :razz:
    I don’t like lollipops because they are very bad for your teeth. I avoid them and most other candies except for chocolate, and I try to limit chocolate. :sad:
    As for lollys, I like my own best, but next to that, I’d like yours! :razz:

    …….Lyrics
    Easy, ready, willing, overtime,
    Where does it stop,
    where do you dare me
    to draw the line.
    You’ve got the body,
    now you want my soul,
    Don’t even think about it,
    say no go.
    I– I ‘ll do anything
    that you want me to do,
    And I’ll do almost anything,
    that you want me too, ooh,

    But I can’t go for that, (No can do)
    No, I can’t go for that, (No can do)
    Oh, I can’t go for that, (No can do)

    I can’t go for that,
    can’t go for that,
    can’t go for that.

    I can go for being twice as nice,
    I can go for just repeating
    the same old lines.
    Use the body,
    now you want my soul,
    Ooh, forget about it,
    now say no go.

    I– I’ll do anything
    that you want me to do,
    And I’ll do almost anything
    that you want me to do,

    But I can’t go for that, (No can do)
    No, I can’t go for that, (No can do)
    Oh, I can’t go for that, (No can do)

    I can’t go for that,
    can’t go for that,
    can’t go for that.
    Oh, I– I’ll do anything
    that you want me to do,
    And I’ll do almost anything
    that you want me to do,

    But I can’t go for that, (No can do)
    No, I can’t go for that, (No can do)
    Oh, I can’t go for that, (No can do)

    I can’t go for that,
    can’t go for that,
    can’t go for that,
    can’t go for that.
    I can’t go for that,

    can’t go for that (No can do)
    I can’t go,
    I can’t go–
    for that, (No can do)
    Oh, I can’t go for that, (No can do)
    Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no,
    no, no, no, no, no can do,
    Oh, I can’t go for that, yeah, (No can do)
    No, no, no, no, no, no…..

    Merry “Boxing Day & A big Thank You Marina for all the sweetness you share so freely. There is something deep in your soul that bubbles to the surface & shines through all the things you do, and it touches so many people. I enjoy & sometimes am enfuriated by the reactions people have to that God-given gift that you have developed into the successes of your various enterprises. It’s been a fun year watching you with these virtual tools. I don’t pretend to be a geek, I’m learning what is for me, a lot. I am a fan & cheerleader for you & although you scare me sometimes, I’ll keep watching & applauding & if need be, helping where I can.
    GTG… daughter surprised by coming home on Christmas day, what a great gift to uplift my heart. She brought her car… so today I have the priviledge of doing some maintainance on it & a few minor repairs so she can carry on in safety, on our weather smitten highways.
    Cheers, Y’all & enjoy the last of 2008… made some, what I consider, good friends & aquaintences here @ hotforwords & appreciate the tolerance & inclusions in an ever expanding, cyber community.

    News: Pope agrees contraceptives are OK for use with animals.

    The coincidental-circle theory holds only if it can be shown that Smith never heard of the European use of the word. It would be impossible to state with certaintly that a given person never heard of a given word, wouldn’t it? Perhaps there is some anecdotal evidence — an interview with Smith, a relative, colleage, etc. of his — that makes the assertion that there was no connection between the candies except via the horse, but how could you know it was true? So, to state that the theory is absolutely true is to wear blinders (heehee).

    To rate this theory, I have come up with a new epithet: HORSE CANDY! So, from now on, if an etymological theory strains credulity (such as “Desparate Rick” = “Dick”), it will be said to be HC.

    I would imagine that a product high in sugar, if kept in a cool place (especially if refrigerated), would last almost indefinitely. You can always sell half of it at cost to get rid of it. Eventually, you could become known as “a connection.” :lol:

    I must assail the artist’s knowledge of flight dynamics; the little propeller on the back of the three-wheeled craft just ain’t gonna hack it (much less the human-powered aspect, which is neither Condory, nor gossamerish). I suppose he is relying on that tried-and-true aerodynamic principle, suspension of believe. It’s cute, though.

    I do not remeber what they were called, but they were pretty big lollipops. They were only about 2″ across, but about 1/2 or 3/4″ thick. My favorite was sour apple. Just sour enough to notice, but it would not turn your face inside out.

    When I worked out in So Cal, people would bring in their homemade Mexican candy. It has a very different taste, and I never did get used to it. Real Mexican enchiladas, though, mighty yummy! :grin:

    How about the word “upset.” You know, this word means agitated or angry. Then why isn’t it called “downset.” Wouldn’t that make more sense? I don’t know…

Well, thanks, and hope you reply to my word.

    O sweet Marina, you brought to mind the English word “guff,” which refers to contentious or superfluous talk which the hearer doesn’t want to hear, as in “Don’t give me any of your guff.”

    Would you please research this? Perhaps there is a connection to Russian; nobody likes to hear a dog yapping at him.

    Your adoring codger,

    Hey hE hE, My horrorscope(horoscope)

    December 26
    You may be getting frustrated with love and romance, dear Sagittarius, because they seem to be causing more tension than calm and relaxation. No one said love was easy, but it doesn’t have to be completely miserable, either. The key is to not get too stressed out about the little things. Know and expect that not everything is going to exactly match your highest expectations. There are many aspects of a relationship you simply cannot control – namely, the other person.

    Sagittarian’s Compatibility- Aries, Leo

    Possible Compatibility- Aquarius, Libra, Sagittarius

    Incompatibility- Capricorn, Taurus, Cancer, Scorpio

    Squared Compatibility- Virgo, Pisces

    Opposite Compatibility- Gemini

    Of course by that other calendar I’m an Aquarius

    Hello Dear Marina and Hotforwordists, I called my dog Lollipop but my intention was first to call her Oulipo (pronounce Ooleepo) which means “Ouvroir de littérature potentielle” which means roughly as stated by Wikipedia “workshop of potential literature”… I still wonder how I slipped from Oulipo to Lollipop ? Anyway many thanks Hotforwords for this reference it allowed me to discover this lovelly group “the Chordettes” singing oH Lollipop Lolli lolli… You can find the link hereafter to hear these wonderfull voices who maybe was competitors of the other well known feminine group The Andrew Sisters in the fifties : http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xn3m2_the-chordettes-lollipop_music -

  • neuroway

    Lollipop, banana, carrot. They all have a common denominator. What’s interesting though is the round-robin dimension of the lollipop becoming a horse, then the horse becoming a lollipop. I suppose Lolly Pop the horse, probably one of these quite temperamental thoroughbreds, was Smith’s favourite only because he could make a dazzling jackrabbit start from the stalls and then run like hell in circle for a short period of time. But what could make this horse run around on a track like this? Carrots and sticks? Candies? I don’t think so. Breed and bood most likely. Or the inner drive.

    Hello James, Marina,
    The BLOCKQUOTE is working as the proper indentation and line insertion does occur. It is just not being rendered with attributes to be seen.

    A quick fix is to add the CSS code for a blockquote.
    Here is an example which I placed into the
    edit-comments.css file. (That may not be the proper file to place the CSS into?)

    blockquote {
    background-color:#f0f0f0;
    border:1px solid blue;
    border-style:outset;
    }

    Obviously, you can chose from a myriad of attributes
    to suit your visual taste.

    hello everyone! i had thought that lol was an abbreviation for lollipop yuntil recently.

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

    My favorite lollipop, as a kid, was Sugar Daddy.
    Sugar Mommas were invented in 1965, thus alas, I was a bit too old to get into long term candy ingestion and missed out on the Sugar Mammas.

  • http://www.youtube.com/pedantickarl pedantickarl

    Note:
    The line: “border-style:outset;”
    is redundant and is not needed, which I used for testing.

    The line:
    “border:1px solid blue;” can be entered as:
    “border:1px outset blue;” as an example.

    Marina, I have sorted out the forum. You will need a whole new HTML and CSS sheet which I have got. All you need to do is paste. The only difference (apart from pages) is that the text is black but when you hover over a link, its green. also it may decide it wants to start going stupid again. You won’t find out until people post new pages. If it does tell me and I will tell you how to fix it. But as of now its 100% how you asked.

    I had it when I was younger and take meds today for being bipolar. It’s runs in families so there is no shame in having a problem like this. Most of the time I am happy and everything goes just fine then something can trigger a sadness part and I am down in the dumps for days. Bob and BillyB has helped me a lot on when I first came on here to control the anger issues I have with this problem even though they don’t know unless they read this comment. A lot of people suffer from one form or the other of this condition, but don’t realize it until a teacher or a parent or a doctor diagnoses the problem. Some don’t want to admit they have a problem. I didn’t find out until I was in my late 30 about my problem as doctors and parents didn’t know what to look for when I was young. I thought I was just an angry person all the time. I am not ashamed of it so you shouldn’t be either. So your not alone James. I’ll help you any way I can. :smile:

    I think compared to a years ago. Everything has to have something to explain it. If I went down the street 100 years ago and said ” I like how this street is paved” people wouldn’t care but if you were to do that now you would be classified as everything. I believe ADHD is real but aspergers is just a lever people can use to describe some peoples unusual behaviours. Scientists have to know everything and can’t handle not knowing something. TBH I think it means you are just a bit dopey. I have been on tablets since I was 4 … and they haven’t really done much

    Maybe it’s time to change the meds. Some like Ritalin wear off and don’t work well after a few years. There are other meds to try that may work better. You may not like trial and error, but sometimes you have to just try. I wasn’t on the right meds at first but now I am happy and pretty much have it under control. I still have an occasional flare up as you remember back in another video where I jumped at Marina and fussed her out. I felt so bad after that and wanted to quit, but Marina, Bob and BillyB helped me through it so I will stay away from a confrontation if at all possible, but I do have my limitations and will stand up to a troll or bully. Yea scientist or Doctors have to have a name for everything. So shrug off the label they put on you and continue to do the great work behind the scenes for Marina and the videos that you make. You are well appreciated on here James. :wink:

    Homework: I don’t care for suckers. I’m not really into that kind of candy that much. Gourmet Jelly Beans, Mike and Ike’s, or Red Vines. I always have to have chocolate around. Not milk chocolate though. My body doesn’t like the pesticides in milk products.

    That was a very interesting etymology. I wonder how many other words have encompassing origins?

  • greatestpotential

    I bet captains and sea faring gents say encompassing more than your average civilians do, which seems like cool dialect to me. I got a bag of jelly belly candies as a gift for the holidays and ate too much and got a belly ache and coz I don’t hardly ever ingest that many sugars at once it nearly made me nauseous so I doubt I will be gorging myself like a hog on sweets for a while. Something exciting for me happened after I watched hotforword’s lesson on lollipop, I learned a new word- “Lolliologist”~ A person who is an expertise in the art of lollipop making :grin:

    Marina, you are my heroin! My favorite Lollipop is The cherry Tootsie Pop, when i was a kid i loved Charms Blowpops, apple flavored.

    I think i disagree with the full circle of the naming of candy on a stick.

    There is a branch of linguistics dedicated to the innate use of words. That somehow human beings who share a language family, or language for that matter, use the same or similar sounds for words that have similar meanings. Ex. glisten, glitter, gloria, glad. Ex lolly, lengua, language, lambaste, lick, lap[up],

    just writing without thinking here, sorry for lack of articulation.
