    xtra pt: Pink? Just a guess
    ( ’cause you were wearing a pink glove :mrgreen: )

  • niteowl

    Marina, if we send you flowers, will you accept them? They add a very nice touch to the room, I must say.

    Just don’t forget to water them.

    Gisele Bundchen is the answer, I believe.

    I couldn’t come up with hike, snap, snapper. The fielder in position who hikes the football to the quarterback, a snapback. I think it was that hot pink glove that threw me off.

  • stigmatasaurus

    How about [huddle]? Not limited to football, but most often associated.

    And I thought you were talking about Jessica Simpson.

  • hot-dog-lincoln

    I think it is some Victoria Secret model… Gerfelda Nobrainski? :lol:

    Football term… “the long bomb”

  • greatestpotential

    When the game is in progress the ref blows a whistle and the teams have to get back to the line of scrimmage(scrimish) and be ready in position to resume play or a player/players could get penalized.

  • greatestpotential

    Imagine Gisele Bundchen doing a photo shoot in frilly white lingerie wearing a pink fingerless Vaso glove. That would make some guys faint.

  • John

    Why do they call a down a [down]?

  • http://youtube.com/user/dstrott raven62

    How about Touchdown, Safety (not the defensive safety), Touchback, or illegal procedure.
    Extra credit: Are you talking about Romo and Simpson?

  • BillyB

    The defence will score more than the offence & win it for the steelers by 1/2 time (hope I’m wrong about the, by 1/2 time thing), no money on it though.
    Don’t you think Warner has a chance to be the Quarterback of destiny this year?
    You’re right… nah!

    It’s refreshing to think on these matters. I’m guessing the ball at the beginning of plays is positioned on the ground, or “down” for short. If the ball was filled with helium and floated in the air, maybe it would be called an “up”.

  • stebakle

    Are those new pillows? And roses! :!: And a Hot For Pink glove! :lol: Very refreshing. I do have a request; please bring back the “Intelligence is Sexy” theme. I think it’s an idea the world should take to heart.

    Hi Catrina
    I’m not sure of the origins but a eunuch is a man who has been castrated, such as a monk or harem attendant. It cuts down on hanky panky while the sultan is away :!:

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

    I don’t understand the spirit of the tuck rule. It seems backasswards. What was the intention of creating such a rule? If the QB is tucking the ball away, then he isn’t in the act of passing. So, if he isn’t passing, he’s possessing the ball, and when a defensive player hits the ball out of his hands while he’s tucking, it naturally should be a fumble.

    [Kamikaze] is Japanese for “divine wind” (“viento divino” si Ud. prefiere. :smile: ) The term originated in 1281 when a [typhoon] devastated the Mongol navy of Kublai Khan when he was trying to invade Japan. The great windstorm passed into Japanese legend as the kamikaze, the divine wind that saved Japan from the Mongols, and of course later described the Japanese airplane pilots who staged the suicide attacks on American warships in World War II.

    But of course it would be more fun to see Marina present this word. :grin:

    I never understood why, when there are the beautiful cheerleaders jumping up and down on the sidelines, that 22 grown men can find nothing better to do than chase around each other and an old, dead pig. Something is wrong with the system.

    Marina, liamka’s comment illustrates an interesting trend in European languages: the formal form of address (вы in Russian, usted in Spanish, vous in French, chi in Welsh :wink: ) is disappearing or disfavored. Sort of the opposite of English, where the informal “thou” disappeared.

    You tightened up your hair, Marina — looks good, especially in this athletic themed lesson.

    I haven’t read anyone else’s explanation of the pink glove. A very short time ago, on YouTube, I head the song Pink Glove for the first time; The first few seconds of music are somewhat intriguing, but I don’t quite enjoy it overall. However, its lyrics expresses some very interesting ideas (added some editorial comments in square brackets):

    You'd better watch what you're wearing
    if you want him to come round and see you tonight
    Uh uh uh uh, uh uh uh uh, uh uh uh
    But he doesn't care what it looks like
    just as long as it's pink and it's tight
    It's what he likes
    Uh uh uh uh, uh uh uh uh, uh uh uh

    Ooh, so what should you do?
    Should you stop being you? [not really]
    Just to be how he wants you?
    ...
    Ooh, he's got your heart
    You've got his soul
    You might as well know

    ...
    ... you'll never leave him
    ...

    And now you've done it once
    now he wants you to wear your pink glove all the time
    Uh uh uh uh, uh uh uh uh, uh uh uh
    Ooh, so what should you do?
    Should you stop being you? [not really]
    Just to be how he wants you?
    ...
    Ooh, he's got your heart
    You've got his soul
    You might as well know

    ...
    ... you'll never leave him
    ...

    Oh, oh
    Oh, oh

    Oh you'll always be together
    'cos he gets you up in lather [lather, not leather]
    And you know what to wear at the end of the day
    ...
    Yeah it's hard to believe that you'd go for that stuff
    all those baby-doll nighties, synthetic fluff
    Oh, it looks pretty good
    Yeah, it fits you okay, yeah
    Wear your pink glove babe
    ...

    ... you'll never leave him

    Dear совершенная Марина Орлова, You posted a video after many of us had gone to sleep, again! (I probably wouldn’t sleep well after seeing your video, anyway.) :shock:
    As you wanted, here are some other football terms:
    Pass = tossing the football, usually placing spin n the ball to improve accuracy. A forward pass goes in the direction of the team’s progress. A backwards pass is called a lateral.
    Lateral = also refers to throwing the football with an under hand motion from the quarterback to another back.
    Block = to bump into an opposing player to prevent him from reaching your ball-carrier.
    Tackle = to grab an opposing ball carrier and cause him to fall down.
    Oogle = to excessively watch the beautiful cheerleaders on the sidelines.
    Rejection = what happens after you ask a beautiful cheerleader for a date.
    Worn out = what happens to you after a beautiful cheerleader accepts your invitation for a date. (They have the energy and stamina to dance long routines.) :razz:
    The supermodel Giselle Bundchen is dating quarterback Tom Brady, and the movie star Jessica Simpson is dating quarterback Tony Romo. :smile:
    The single glove on your left hand seems to be opposite to Michael Jackson, who wore a single glove on his right hand in some album from a quarter-century ago. Do you want to meet Michael? I don’t think he’d be as nice to you as many of your subscribers. :cool:

    I understand where you’re coming from—the cheerleaders are the only reason I ever became interesed in football in the first place! And those sirens of the field will always be my main interest, they never get the proper attention from the camera man. Even when the game gets boring or there’s a time out. Plus they(the cheer squad) get more of my respect since they work for practically nothing monetarily.

    Pigs are really intelligent, they know where they are going when loaded on to a truck to the slaughter house. They fight and refuse to go up the ramp and must be electrically prodded.

  • fredjr

    Not exactly true. Pigs are intelligent, for animals, but they can’t tell the future. They resist being loaded for any purpose. They make a fuss when they are being moved to another pen to be fed. One does not need an electric prod to move them. They can be driven without it.

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

    I do know not about pigs, specifically. Animals, though they cannot predict the future, do often learn from past experiences. Many of us have experienced situations with the dog who does not want a bath. I swear that my dog (as I was groing up) knew what the word “vet” meant.

    I can easily see how pigs would differntiate between a slaughterhouse truck and a mating pen. It could be something as simple as the smell of blood v pheremones. These animals pick up on sensory input that humans just cannot conceptualize.

    I have learned to listen to my animals. My youngest daughter was not allowed to date a certain young man. When I first met her date, the young man seemed okay to me, but Millie (Australian Shepherd) took extreme exception to the house guest. Needless to say, a few months later I discovered some very unsavory information about my daughter’s ex-friend.

    Animals know their shit.

    Here’s a football term: “Illegal use of the hands”… which is what I think Marina qualifies for by using the single day-glow pink glove. Maybe, before she blinds someone, she should put that glove “in the pocket.”

    Is she tickled pink? On the mauve? Fuchsia and far between?

    Does anyone know where the name for the Nose-guard position comes from? and why they call a safety, “safety”?

    Nice piece of propaganda. Let’s not forget that is what it is. I completely respect a person’s choice to not eat meat. But I don’t understand why PETA finds it necessary to push their ideals onto the world using bully type tactics. I like meat, I eat meat and I will continue to do so. That being said I did like the video …. Made me hungry – hehe. I wonder if vegetarians get hungry watching Veggie Tales?

    Not sure how many of you were raised in a farm environment, but I was. And I am still active on my cousin’s farm, where I get my beef and pork.

    You cannot bleed a mammal alive or the meat will be garbage. They must be killed without prior notice or they tense up and the meat is terrible. Not sure where PETA gets it’s footage, but they do have their own agenda.

    I have seen MANY a pig head off to the butcher and have seen every step of the pork preparation. Cattle prods would be the worst way to load them. One panicked pig means a whole heard of panicked pigs. Yeah they are smart, very smart. Some times you can just call them and they happily climb up into the trailer. But most of the time you just coral them toward the trailer and they climb aboard. Pigs heading to the slaughter house don’t know the difference between it and the breeding pen, because they aren’t breed. Hormones ruin meat, so the pigs that become pork are neutered at a young age.

    Steer and heifers don’t load up so easily, mostly because they are not as smart and much lazier. But if you get the dominate one moving the rest will follow. They dig heard mentality. :wink: Cows (heifers that have been breed) don’t usually end up as meat, although they can become crap meat for your McBurger. Bulls are just mot eatable, and are mean as hell.

    “Chicken has poo in it!” Does PETA know what these organic farms use for fertilizer? Or better yet, what mushrooms are grown in? Just to clarify, the answer to both is POO. Oh yeah, it’s not legal in the US, but some countries use human waste to grow produce – yummy!!!

    I cannot argue with meat being messy. Slaughter houses are nasty and smell strongly of blood. A scent I do not care for at all. But it’s not a perfect world. But cooked just right, meat can be a near perfect meal :mrgreen:

    Hello Marina,

    I spent some time trying to figure out why you are more exquisitely/radiantly beautiful in this video. Besides tightening your hair, the relative position of the camera and you is different (I suspect you are further away from the camera). I am not too clear about the role played by the V-shape of your dress in framing you, and the role played by the colors in this video. But, more fundamentally, there is also something different about your being itself — I have no words for that; somehow you appear much more confident, exquisite, and radiant here. (I am glad the roses are in the video and Gorby isn’t — thanks.)

    Back to my question about the Russian students, my ex-wife explained it to me as follows:
    Russians are protective of their women, after centuries of defending the Motherland from Mongols, Teutonic Knights, Tatars, Napoleonic French, Nazis, and other riffraff. The Russian students on these pages see Marina as one of their own, and express this connection by writing to her in Russian. So if I reply to a comment written in Russian, I am trespassing on a sacred and mystical link between the writer, Marina, and the Motherland. This trespass triggers a reflexively hostile reaction that echoes the centuries of Russian battles against invading foreigners. :neutral:

    Hello lightarchange00,
    It may take awhile for Marina to get to your word request (she has a lot she’s working on) so here’s a little answer for a start:
    English got its start when the Germanic Angles and Saxons invaded Britain around 450 AD. (The word [English] comes from Angle.) Then the Norman French conquered England in 1066. Gradually the old Anglo-Saxon and Norman French mixed together to form English. So we see a lot of words in English that are the same or almost the same as they are in German and French. :smile: Plus English has borrowed a lot from Latin, Greek, and many other languages.
    Of course it will be more fun to watch Marina give the history of English! :grin:

    Evan Owen, you are not a jerk. Russia is such a big nation that it gets lost in its mystical link between the sacred and all her wealth. I had an aunt that gave me two books: one about Christian Science and the other about Grigori Efimovitch Rasputin by Rene’ Fulop-Miller…”The Holy Devil”. She was “old school” lots of kisses and full of make-up, a beautician by trade…not bawdy but strange. Mary Baker Eddy and her movement is more than the press of the Monitor. [ PHILOLOGY request (free love)]…well she was the leader of the Mother Church. :lol: :twisted: :wink:

    My sister’s cat (long since died) once got in a fight with another cat and suffered a wound on the side, requiring the injection of an antibiotic cream from a small tube (like toothpaste). We knew this would be painful, so after wrapping the cat in a towel, it was my job to hold Muffer down, despite expected energetic protestations. But Muffer did not struggle a bit. When the tube was inserted, his jaw quivered from the pain, but he just took it. This impressed me, because it meant Muffer knew we were trying to help.

    (Now if it had been my cat Sweety Pie on the launch pad, she would have put on such a show of flying fur and claws that the range safety officer would have had no choice but to push the destruct button.)

    I’m still having amount of issues with my Internet. We downloaded a new patch to block out the intruder but to no joy. Apparetnly this person is going through a back door to the router. Maybe some software might have been install in an unsecured computer. I freaking hate windblows.
    We contacted our provider and found that it would cost us about $160k to $190k to install fiber to the dock. I know for damn well it doesn’t cost that much. I guess they think since we own yachts we must all be a multi-millionaires. I guess they think Bill Gates lives on this dock. Funny, I understand this ploy for I did the same thing when I worked on the other side of the fence.

    The Gorbinator

    Gorby was strolling through the woods in search for some bones.
    He finds some, and starts to chew on them happily, “Mmm…”.
    But all of a sudden, a tiger appeared!
    Gorby realized he couldn’t outrun, or overpower the wild beast, so he decided to outsmart it! ;)
    He turns his back, sits on his belly, and returns to chewing his bones.

    Just before the tiger reached him, he said out loud: “Mmm… this tiger was delicious! I hope I find more soon…”
    After hearing that, the gullible tiger ran like crazy.
    A monkey that followed the entire scene from a nearby tree, decided it could suck up to the tiger by telling him the whole deceit.

    Gorby saw the monkey running after the tiger to spill the beans, and was getting kind of scared!
    The tiger was infuriated and told the monkey to jump on its back, so it could see first hand what he would do to the pup.
    Gorby pretended like he didn’t see them coming, and again he said something to himself, out loud:
    “What’s that monkey doing? I’ve been waiting half an hour for it to bring me another tiger, and it’s still not back!!!”

  • pig-in-a-poke

    Help, Teacher! The spelling of my name, [Pig-in-a-Poke], has been questioned.

    I looked up the pig-in-a-polk phrase and discovered its reference by Thomas Tusser in 1580. Also, I could not find the Answer video for the game Don’t let the cat out of the bag.

    Thank you for your reply, KampKohler. I thought of this name as a screen name as the phrase amused my dad. His uncle told him, “Why that’s like buying a pig in a poke.” My uncle was a farmer and I discovered that this is a commonly known phrase in rural communities and in England. I laughed too, as I had never heard this.

    As a screen name it could consist of multiple entendres, each depending on one’s knowledge or perceptions. Since screen names hide one’s true identity, I thought it would be appropriate. The phrase refers to switching a cat for a pig when purchased in a bag or sack and giving rise to another phrase, “Don’t let the cat out of the bag.”

    Definiton of Poke: noun, Chiefly Regional. A sack or a bag. [Middle English, from Old North French poque, poket, from Frankish pokka (unattested), bag.]

    A Pig-in-a-Poke is
    1) a police officer in plain clothes
    2) a sausage in natural casings
    3) a cat in a sack taking the place of a pig
    4) a screen name to hide one’s identity

    CK, where did you get that spelling of “polk”? I’ve never heard of it before and had to look it up in the O.E.D., which gives it only one meaning as a verb meaning to dance the polka.
    The definition that pig-in-a-poke gave is familiar to me as the word “poke” is still in common use in Scottish dialect to refer to a bag, e.g. “Black puddin’, a poke a’ chips an’ a can a’ Irn Bru, please.”

    Fiber Optics are very expensive. My brother is an engineer with Embark our local phone company. He told me when fiber first came out onto the market it costs $40,000.00 per hour just to repair a cut fiber cable. That was about 15 years ago. I would think maybe it has come down in price some today. But we have companies here that come out and mark the places where the cables are under ground so they want get cut by trenchers or backhoes. If you goof and cut one then hopefully you have insurance to fix the fiber cable. I might be able to get you some fiber cable, but I don’t know if you could hook it up. :lol: :lol:

Intead I predict that this year’s 2009 Super Bowl will be the last Super Bowl game ever. When people avoid pretending to be surprised about what is going on in so-called hard economic times and decide to ween off the protected feeling they get when being entertained by televised sports games whilst they wash down greasy potato chips and buffalo wing fat with soda pop gastrointestinal gusto then my job here will be done. Until then, do enjoy the Super Super Bowl Game (cheers)

    The name of the game is to get what people will pay for your products and services. You would not believe what companies charge for what they pay for a product. I’ve see 400% to 900% price mark ups. For people who have yachts they go even higher. I learned I could build one of these modems for about $400 bucks when they charge $2500.

    Of football words, the first that comes to mind is “[touchdown]“; which is synonymous for “successful reception” and for “successful landing.” I guess the [deep]est root-word would be [success].

    And the extra-credit question?
