Pot

I wonder, I wonder.. where might the word [fiend] come from?
Thanks in advance Marina ;-)

hello

Happy at three! :-)

hanep and i think chartreuse has that secret herb…rope

Pot Luck, smking lesson

María Juana es un nombre español!

La cucaracha, la cucaracha
Ya no quiere caminar
Porque no tiene, porque le falta
Marijuana que fumar! :grin:

Homework: It matters not to me, but FWIW whatever he smoked, whenever he smoked it, didn’t appear to have impacted his swimming ability during the Olympics. :grin:

Hmm… Let’s see if I can learn something new. :roll:

great humor Jim Stafford LIVE “Wildwood Weed” & Saving Chihuahuas Lives Gange…birdseed is what hemp farmers called :wink:

[Equilibrium] i would like to request that word

Phelps is an idiot for smoking pot but even a bigger idiot for doing it where others could witness his actions.

Maybe he can go endorse Duncan Hines Brownie Mix

Phelps just proved my point that pot makes you stupid.

.

Homework: Hemp, rope, dope, weed, MJ, Mary Jane, cannabis, grass, ganja… other names I’ve forgotten.

“If you can remember the ’60s, you weren’t part of them!” I forgot who said that. :sad:

Hey where have you been? No more YT account?

A fiend in weed is a fiend indeed? :???:

Paul Kantner of Jefferson Airplane :wink:

Homework: grass, weed, dope, etc.
(whacky tobacky?) It was called pota (poe-ta)
in the Johnny Dep movie, Blow.
Marina, you made me laugh :grin:
Don’t play with matches :mrgreen:

What do you mean – “We” don’t smoke it in a pot? :-)

I, agree with Volay. I have lost all respect for Phelps. I wonder what his mother thinks of this?

Pot like alcohol is not for everyone to partake in.
Some can handle it well others don’t.

Why would anyone want to take a recreational drug that makes you stupid.

It’s so hygienic to have a stranger past you a joint with a trail of spit hanging off of it.

My rule is if I’m not willing to put my tongue in someone mouth then I’m not sharing anything which comes from there.

Busted :smile:

Yeh- I dropped it. I wasn’t actively posting, and perhaps may return if I win a camera playing chess :cool: Wish me luck! :grin:

Hard to believe this the roach song, La cacaracha was to be from Europe…Bob Marley was cool :lol:

She’s great- you just have to love her.

Who you playing chest with :wink:

There are lots of words for pot – by far the best is Mary Jane. I always thought it was the literal translation.

My last dance with her was quite a while ago but I might ask again if the right song came up.

As far as Phelps goes -Poor Bastard, that’s the price of fame I guess. Give him a break. Unless it’s giving him a competitive edge, who cares?

He’s just a kid.

Work hard, play hard. People do need something to help blow off some steam. He should have understood the financial risk when his sponsors saw the pics. As an athlete, smoking anything is detrimental to VO2. Morally? My only problem with pot is that it is illegal. Then again, I have not thoroughly researched this topic. :roll: It’s a toss up for me.

Roll’em…Reefer Madness [fiend], word request

:shock: A little Freudian slip? Uh-oh, someone spilled the beans. :oops:

HwK: Yes, unfortunately, he should loose what ever sponsorship those companies want to rescind. It’s contracted and by commenting he really became double dumb. However, now that I’m in Mexico I think I should further study this word’s etymology.

“we don’t smoke it in a pot”…we don’t smoke it at all…

not that i didn’t, in my college daze, but i’m not had even a toke(n) puff in decades…

So my wife, Mrs. Swede, and I were at a Ozzy Osborne and Rob Zombie concert in Wichita, Kansas, and she asked, “Oh, what’s that horrible smell?” I just laughed. :)

Work hard you all…Winter harvest of hemp…people need to get real :lol:

Hello. I would like to request the word [badonkadonk]. Is it in any way related to “ass” as in a DONKey?

Never knew about ‘potiguaya’ I do remember marijuana being called ‘mota’ in Mexico not sure of the spelling have never seen this word written.

Phelps isn’t a helpless baby.
He made his bed and now he has to sleep in it.
I’m sure his contracts have a moral turpitude clause.
His behavior certaintly isn’t worthy to be held up for emulation.
Hence Phelps words have no value for endorsemnt purposes.
I sure his sponsors will want to compensate him along with the intrinsic of his endorsement.
Nothing is what his words are worth and nothing is what he should get.
Pretty dumb.
Who wants to sponsor a dummy.
Buy my product and you too can be a dopey stooge?
Hope Phelps had some kind of an education or else he better get used to “Do you want fries with that?”
It’s “Wheaties, the Breakfast of Champions”.
Not the “Wacky” kids sticker “Weakees, the Breakfast of Chumps”

Marina,
The smoking pot play on words was great.
I had a real giggle on the Pot Head one.

i’m pretty sure Evan knew, but was pranking us…

prolly the smoke got in his eyes…

inhale, Evan…exhale slowly… :cool:

I GOT THE MUNCHIES WATCHING THIS VIDEO :mrgreen:

Good Point.

Governments target marijuana bacause of it’s practical uses. Economies would probably crumble if you had a pair of jeans that lasted 100 years.

It would put cotton out of business anyway. :idea:

Whooaah! Lady Orlova, I reckon this s##t is awesomely sexy!

I am, erm, I am totally impressed! :razz:

:lol: Who needs to smoke marijuana when Marina has all these hilarious vids and what’s with that tin pan music stuff? Ha! laughing my ass off here :!:

Marina,

OK the roses got old.
Noticed the replacement.
Your a genisus on so many levels.
But what happened to the tulips?
Did Gorby have a salad?

Gorby ate a pot plant and got hungry :?:

OK, one more for the sake of GOD, mankinds gift Hemp History. My computer shut down :mad: I’m back :lol: In Arab, pot is called canvas. Some organizations have kits to protest…since last weeks CA’s busts. Pot has soul :razz: Marina’s take on Hash,Assassin People have got to take back the truth and not ignorance :wink: :lol: :razz:

I figured as much that is why I gave him a ‘wink’ :wink:

{ or maybe I’ve got smoke in my eye }

The problem is that we always get This Guy to sell the idea. :roll:

http://www.wackypackages.org/bestof/weakies.html

Truth be it all living creatures like to get high. Notice how birds eat those red berries off trees and then fly around in circles and loops dazed out of their minds. Birds love to get intoxicated. Also, it’s no coincidence that the bird in those Charlie Brown comics is named “Woodstock” after the festival concert.

Marina, who took the “o” out of ‘smking’
{ some pot head :???: }

Cash crops save city slickers and now the USA have a legal society based on FASCISM…The truth is, some people love to hate. The gov got pissed at farmers and with FDR’s New Deal, created as much stupity as our artificial society can live with. Get with learning!!! :roll: :cool: :oops:

Very cute video, Marina! The pot on your head is classic.
Phelps is a big dummy, not only for indulging an illegal drug, but doing it where people were taking pictures! It’s the first thing anyone will think of if they see his [ MUG ] endorsing a product.
As for other names, they all seem to have been mentioned here, except for one someone told me last year: Purple Kush

There’s nothing wrong with pot. It’s not nearly as addictive as nicotine or alcohol.

I don’t use pot myself, but I don’t think any less of those who do.

Yes, take his medals away, shame him, basically punish people for being human because anything inhuman get’s it jollies off making others look bad.

Hey, that’s Tom Petty. An old timer. Here’s Learning to fly.

“Life will beat you down. Break your heart. Steal your crown. Yeah, it sure will, as sure as I can wheelie a Hayabusa”.

We should let Olympic officials decide because they wouldn’t want to be handing out awards to smokers in some place that still practices sick torture behind closed walls :?:

Here is a car of the late great Henry FORD Ford Hemp Car and this one Hemp For Victory Wordsmiths take a look and learn……

He’s obviously HIGH.

Put him in jail!!

:twisted:

[shit] I recently heard that that word came from manure transported in ships. It was labeled S.H.I.T. (ship high in transit) to keep it dry.
Do you know if this is true?

Well, no wonder you are puzzled with why your pot is not working. It needs a lid. :mrgreen:

I could care less if Phelps bakes his brain, that’s his decision. There’s plenty of hypocricy to go around so do speak up or eat boiled shoestrings because by then you’ll have no voice whatsoever and such talk about did he? did she? won’t matter much anyway.

Ppl should not have to go to jail for smoking pot.

Yeah, if you can find somebody to insure it.

¿Marijuana que fumar? ¿Y que más ahora? ¿Wiskey? ¿Baileys? ¿Bailouts? ¿Licor 43?

¡Si no puede caminar la cucaracha es porque no tiene, porque le falta las dos patitas de átras! ¡Y nada más!

Che Volay: I would think that some laws make people look stupid and not what you wrote “…just proved my point that pot makes you stupid.” Just like if you work where they piss test…then, that is, the policy not to smoke pot; Too much duplicity. [dupe] its all mixing dopes and dope :lol: :smile: :shock:

Marina—Please use a stove or camp fire, I would think that using the pot with that crack lighter: you might burn yourself, and not cook your food properly. I know it takes two hands to fix food but, put something in the pot first. :lol: thanks for the fun lesson…Oh, Cartoon Network Groovies – “El Kabong Rides Again” i just luv it

Nah Che, it’s all right. You would be surprised to learn about the petty stuff that sent people to jail throughout history and nowadays. Don’t worry about that. :cool:

“The bull knows at the end of the fight
in which it tastes its sudden gush
that a wine with the taste of death
impedes life and unbalances it.

Hearths breathe through the wound
from an immense neighbouring one,
and its vast power of pine and stone
falls helplessly weak to the sand.”

– Miguel Hernández (1910 – 1942)

Marina,

You are very funny… we should hook up and toke up with a Tommy Chong “Gong Show” bong ! Meet me in Amsterdam at the third bridge North of the Red Light District on June 3rd at 4:20pm. I will be disguised as a Giant Potato Chip bag with smoke coming out of the top. I am booked as a [consummate]guide… there to do a [INCONSPICUOUS] tour for a bunch of potheads from the U.S Federal Reserve, Wall Street and Congress.

The conversational topic of if Michael Phelps should lose millions of dollars of endorsements over his marijuana usage will be decided in company boardrooms around the world, no doubt about that. Most companys try to maintain a clean image to present too the world media so I can see no way he can’t lose at least some if not most endorsement opportunities, its inevitable. The controversy is that marijuana is viewed as a gateway drug to the use of stronger more detrimental drugs. Most drug dealers would view the use of marijuana as a prerequisite for a user to move them up the drug hierarchy to stronger drugs; thorough a concept known as suspension of disbelief. (Yep the same concept is employed in the movie industry) Once a person acquires a habit, the suppliers income is mostly assured until they lose that person. That’s all the suppliers care about anyway is the assurance of their income, not the people they supply.

…thats what I hear anyway. :wink:

No problem man!!!
Aguante el faaasoo! :twisted:

Marina, This was a humorous portrayal of a what , a novice pot smoker. I am sure there is some one where you live that can show you the proper ways to partake of pot usage if that’s what you wish, as there probably is in 98% of most cities, towns, villages across America.

“the poor boy got caught in the lime light and the media blew everything out of proportion. The kid got caught with his pants down, it ain’t like it hasn’t ever happened to any of you, you live and you learn. EVOLVE Mike Phelps eVoLvE!”

word request = Philosophy, Philosopher, Philosophize, Philosophical, Philosophe.

What is this set of words speaking in relevance of?

What’s the good word Professor? Let a fellow know.

Great lesson, Marina, very entertaining

I do not think he should looses his endorsements. Pot is not as taboo as it once was.

In your lesson, you said,
“We
do not smoke it in a pot.”

Did we just learn something new about you?

She couldn’t say bong it would have ruined the humor of the act.

:shock: Marina! Look whose calling the kettle black now! geesh! :roll: ♫♪
:lol:

i wonder whats on your mind?

ba do tiss

nice one Charlie Brown

Did someone call for Mr. Potato Head :???: :cool:

Do I see two nickel bags under your eyes :???: :shock:

“Back at HQ we call it The Weed” :roll:

That’s hilarious! Was that a Freudian slip? :eek:

A guy ( who admittedly worked SUPER hard to get to where he is ) has an opportunity to make literally millions of dollars but risks it for some sophmoric thrills, GETS CAUGHT ON FILM, but expects to keep his opportunity?

Who does he think he is, a corporate CEO ( who also expects to keep a portion of the bailout billions for themselves )?

We need to rethink who we call our leaders and our heroes. SERIOUSLY!

Leaves of hemp is pot of spanish…I love learning Playlist: HIGH TIMES Potcast a flower pot sits with no plant :lol: What is funny, is that yesterday, my native friend from CA, asked if Marina did the word pot…I said, “you mean hemp” and he said “no…I said pot” true story :grin:

lol well actually I was thinking of putting under/sideboob… But that’s kind of obvious. And I’m thinking that one of these requests REALLY need to be used in a vid!!!

What do they call the local pot in your part of the world?

e.g. Vancouver Skunk Weed, BC bud…..

Why didn’t you scream out “first” for 1st commenter on a topic like most.

A comfortably factor might come into question on a pair of 100 year lasting jeans, but they might be comfortable for the last quarter century you owned them.

*Happy Dance*
:grin: I got a reply from the teacher :grin:

Possibly a Freudian slip, who knows?

On a different train of thought, I have always believed that “Freudian Slips” would be a great name for a lingerie company.

Thanks for the reply, I am glad I could make you laugh. :grin:

Hey!

I would like to request the word [butter]

and i don’t know if you would allow it but i would also like to know were the word [Fuck] came from.

Thank you,

Dear совершенная Марина Орлова, Marijuana has been called pot, cannibis, Mary Jane, and many other names. :!:
It was very amusing to watch you use a grill lighter to attempt to light a metal pot, and then to wear the pot like a hat, as if you were a “pothead.” :grin:
I’m glad you didn’t hod the pot in front of your tiny, slender waist, as if you had a “pot belly.” (You don’t have one.)
It’s nice you kept your pot so clean that your pot could truly “call the kettle black.”
Of course, you didn’t fill the pot with valuables as if it were a “pot of gold.”
I’m also glad you didn’t take aim with your pot as if it were a gun and you were taking a “pot shot.” :idea:
And you didn’t use the pot to lift things, as if it were a “jackpot.”
But then, if that pot was to be a prize in the Guess The Word Game, it could be a “jackpot.”
Well, I wouldn’t want these comments to “go to pot”, so I’ll say “Good Night.” :razz:
Good night, Seesixcm6

perhaps he had partaken of……………. oh err what was i going to say?

Say ‘Not’ to Pot.

Uh… {is anybody here? hello? }

Well, okay then… :roll: Whacha need ta do is, plug in ‘em ‘er speakers, ‘n turn ‘em reeeeeal loud. Put this here on full screen, an’ WAKE YER SORRY BUTT UP!!!

time to cut the grass

I saw them a few weeks ago in Toronto. I don’t know what their tour schedule is for 2009 but if anybody can get to the show – BEG, BORROW or STEAL your way into it.

You will not be disappointed. There was such a cross section of fans there, everywhere from 13 years old to retirement age and EVERYBODY was rockin out.

I’ve been to a lot of concerts in my time and never seen one that maintained that level of intensity throughout the show. Those boys are pure professionals.

For Those about to Rock We Salute You!

Good night

Thunderstruck. Elysium is an obscure and mysterious name that evolved from a designation of a place or person struck by lightning, enelysion, enelysios. This could be a reference to Zeus, the god of lightning, so “lightning-struck” could be saying that the person was blessed (struck) by Zeus (lightning).

That’s Beethoven’s 9th. That’s also today’s anthem of Europe. :wink:

“Joy, beautiful spark of gods
Daughter of Elysium,
We enter drunk with fire,
Heavenly one, your sanctuary!
Your magic binds again
What custom sternly parts.
All men become brothers,
Where your gentle wing rests.”

Marina , do you ever miss Arnold, Bob Or Pogo, I miss watching you interact with you virtual pets you use to keep. Will you ever bring them back?

I miss them too.. I must get a hold of them!

OK, here is one that lots of people do not know: Sometimes you will see the number 13 written in graffiti, which is a reference to the 13th letter of the alphabet, M, standing for marijuana.

I would like to request the phrase [Lex Aeterna]
It’s some kind of Latin , but i couldn’t find anything about it.

Toledo window box – George Carlin :mrgreen:

Shwag? Mootie? LOL! :mrgreen:
(moocah is in there a couple times…)
Hydro(ponic)
Trainwreck
…the list goes on

Lesbian, faggot and nerd have been done. Same for whiskey (see the words list). :mrgreen:

Don’t forget who wrote this: the poet Friedrich von Schiller.

Now – I finally know – 13! Aha!

Let’s dance to that, Evan!!!!!!!

Isn’t anyone noticing a trend here? Heard a story about how it’s forbidden to take a bite from an apple and now this herb ban stuff. Tisk, tisk, what a shame.

Funny, I have yet to read about how marijuana enhances swimming performance in young athletes. No experiments on scientists blowing pot smoke into Capuchin monkeys faces to observe how they’ll react. Ok. Guess we’re safe then.

miss mary, skunk, shit, weed, stickie, cannabis, THC (tetra hydro cannabiol), hennep, ganja, …

feel almost ashamed :oops: for knowing so many. but hey – i live in a country where it’s legal to sell and smoke this out in the open: the netherlands (AKA holland). :cool:

Personally i never tried this. I have a good friend that uses it medically for his multiple sclerosis. :neutral:

Now marina, can you cook an egg?? that pot seems pretty unused! :lol:

and oh, no i think micheal phelps should not be punisched for smoking pot.

Sure, latch key kids on pharms and it’s legal so no condemnation is going to stick because it’s a stick of butter in a court of law when it’s legal as an eagle so no cries from you worried parents, you’d be talking to walls. I know. There’s over 600 chemicals in a cigarette so there’s no reason for anyone to be alarmed about messing up generational DNA.

Mutation is fun! anyway… :roll: anyway…

frogs can have three legs why can’t the two legged land creatures have 3,

Cool

Night everyone

I don’t feel he necessarily “should” lose endorsements, but I definitely think he will. We are not talking about some kid here, we are talking about a young man that decided to do something currently illegal. He made a decision and now will have to deal with the consequences. “If you want to play, you got to pay.”

While recreation drug use is an adult decision, I do see that he had positioned himself as a role model for adolescents. The bottom line is that he is not a role model. Advertising tends to lift the wrong individuals up. Maybe a hard working, loving, mom and dad would make better sense.

Freedom allows mamas to chemitize themselves until they pump out eight babies at a time and give birth to newborns with six digits on both hands and feet and call it a day. Thank goodness sanity prevails in this place.

Currently illegal, hmmm, that’s sorta like breaking wooden barrels full of booze in front of flashing cameras during the prohibition era soes black and white newspaper photos make a splash into next day’s papers to show em whose boss, huh?

Phelps on drugs is bad enough. The worst thing is steroids. Fortunately, he’s not. I would never do any bad drug in my entire life.Even for $500.

the origin of the word catastrophe

Come to think of it those big factory smoke stacks look like giant bong pipes, when the air turns brown and dirts up the skies, nice, I sort of get sentimental about these things.

High Times magazine would endorse Phelps, that’s about it though. After 5 minutes of dilberation- “Has the Olympic commitee come to any conclusion yet?” Well, the cereal companies where concerned at first, you know, frosted flakes ads vs. Wheaties and Cheerios and now this stuff about bong hits!

Paris Hilton could come out and defend Phelps since she knows what’s it’s like to be falsely victimized

people are dying your honour, and they’re being stuffed into expensive coffins and then buried deep in the ground without a say, it’s so unfair

There’s a waiting list for those KISS coffins that eternally play Beth I hear you calling♫♪ cept it’s some absurd wait, probably like over 2 years or more just to get on the purchaser list. If Ralph Nader waited 30 plus years to get airbags installed in vehicles then it only seems right that people die before marijuana gets legalized.

Hello my dear Teacher, Marina. Since the press is [having a field day] with the Michael Phelps pot smoking incident, could you please help me out with the origin of the phrase: [field day]? Thanks Marina, I’ll be good.

I have the same rule!
But when I refuse them, they just presume I don’t want to get their cooties. Why be offended by that? Weird :)

That’s great. Studying its roots could be interesting, but I heard its leaves are even better. :)

I didn’t know that buzz could cause addiction. :)
Nice work!

He thinks everything is food.
Dogs will even eat dental floss if you leave it around.
Then have fun trying to pull it out of his ass, because it’s indigestible. :)

:grin: Cats do the same. I’ve pulled silver tinsel string from out of a siamese cat’s butt during the Christmas holidays.

cough…cough :mrgreen: Hey look- it’s MR. GREEN !

Marina, you’re such a [ham]! ROFL at your antics. :lol:
Why do we call actors who overact [hams]? After all, they’re only bringing home the bacon.

Adequately. :wink:

It’s the sound of a rail car going over the points. :grin:

Pot in Slovenian languange is Ganđa! :-)

Sounds like a hell of a Christmas party. :grin:

Pot is an adult choice, like tobacco and alcohol, but much less harmful. In America, we have life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, unless the politicians decide otherwise.
Pot was made illegal in the ’30′s at the request of Dupont, who had a new fiber out called nylon. They wanted hemp outlawed and they cooked up some racists myths about the herb, made a movie, and the gullible and ignorant American public bought it hook, line, & sinker. It’s cost us billions over the years, and packed the prisons full to overflowing. This prohibition of pot has contributed to the thriving economy of the gangs in the inner city, so it has fueled gang violence including murder, making the U.S. the murder capitol of the world. It has also deprived harmless and otherwise hard working citizens of their liberty, their fortunes and their families. The prohibition against pot is the biggest threat to freedom we face, and neither the liberal nor conservative politicians, or media hacks are brave enough to tell the truth. I smoked pot from 1968 to 1991 and I never saw anyone get sick or die from it, unlike cigarettes or alcohol. Never saw a pot smoker beat his wife, unlike alcohol and straight folks. And after smoking pot virtually everyday in that period, quiting was like falling off a log, and there is no cravings after quiting, either.

Marina, SPELLIG MISTAKE

Smking pot

How do I notice these!

xx

This lesson is strange for me because last night I had a dream I ate a HUGE amount of magic mushrooms. But I was fine….

Marina, seeing you try to smoke pot is sooooooooo funny!

HOMEWORK: No I don’t think so, what he does in his own life is up to him.

Weed skunk draw ganja hash blow waccy baccy grass bush green block hash

I always wanted to know why it was called pot! In the uk (don’t know about the US) only the resin is called pot. The bud is usually called weed

I don’t like weed that much, it makes me feel sick, and I have a huge fear of sick. Pot is easier to handle :lol:

I don’t smoke it much now. I used to be really bad when I was about 13/14 I would go out drinking and everything, then we moved. Now I have no friends here (even though we are 2 miles away from where we were).. I’m all alone. And besides there isn’t very much of a gang in a town mainly populated by people over 75

there are still funny laws in the netherlands about it isn’t it?

Hey, anudermale… keep it quiet so teach doesn’t know… can you get me an ounce of……….

Apocynum cannabinum

HA
!

No, by “currently illegal” my point was those advertising to the public, unless desiring otherwise, are not looking for someone that has brought attention to themselves by breaking a law. Especially when it comes to influencing children or the parents they market. This thought was independent of whether you think the law needs to be changed or the health risks you find acceptable.

He made this decision, knowing the rules as they currently stand and the impact it could have if caught. He just got caught so he should deal with it.

As a Buddhist, I follow the advice of the Buddha and refrain from using “substances that cloud the mind”, but since Buddhism is a religion of tolerance, I also have to refrain from condemnation of those who choose different paths.
However, I think Phelps should loose his benefits for his stupidity. Some studies claim to have proved that Cannabis use causes brain damage, but one has to wonder if the brain damage was not present as a prerequisite for the substance abuse. Whatever! If one accepts money from people or companies, one assumes a responsibility for abiding by the requirements, or for what one “should reasonably expect to be” the requirements, of the donor.
Anyone should realise that openly flouting the law, or indulging in behaviour which is disapproved of by the more conservative elements of society, would be likely to be considered as “bringing the ‘good’ name of the sponsor into disrepute”.
Phelps committed the cardinal sin of thinking that he is immune from censure and should expect to suffer the consequences.

at your age, i’d think you’d be looking for Thunderfuck…

or maybe at any age… :cool:

Hey Marina, click the Home page link (upper left of any page) and you have an advertisement called “Kiss Me In 3D”. Very interesting and very creative interactive Flash advertising. Of course that piqued my creative thoughts. Too many ideas not enough hours in the day. Darn it. :sad:

What is the story behind this [boondoggle] word I hear on the news so often.

Similar to what Bob said below, I loved this video tongue in cheek humor poking fun at smoking (the) pot. Made my day. :lol:

Can someone give me an AMEN!! :!:

So glad I kept my 3D glasses from the Superbowl :lol:

I got this at About.com. from their Drug Slang Dictionary:

http://parentingteens.about.com/cs/marijuana/l/bldicmarijuana.htm

:shock: That was a LONG one!

I made it a link instead – Marina :-)

Funny lesson Marina! :lol: You give new meaning to the words smoking hot, er pot! :oops: :mrgreen:

Marina,

Something is just now adding up right here.
You clearly have the looks.
You have the talent.
You have a great sense of humor.
Your intelligent and creative.
Your in the center of Tinsel Town.

Why aren’t you just the greatest gift to TV and movie entertainment?

I’m grateful that you share with us every day a portion of your talent.
But the rocket scientist out there are missing a tremendious opportunity by not tapping into your abilities.

What’s the deal?

SPELLIG mistake?

Homework II
Went from hero to zero! As long as Michael Phelps learned from his mistake and doesn’t keep using it, he can still do endorsements, but at the same time his image has been tarnished.

Damn! I knew it was there and I was going to correct it but I made some other mistakes and forgot to correct the one that said spelling :oops:

:cool: Thank You Marina! That did take up a lot of space! :smile:

Hi Camp,

No answer yet, but came across a wonderfully misspelled album title — “White Limozeen – Dolly Parton (1989)”

[limousine] (sp?)

Going back to the 13th letter thing:

Where do people on the 14th floor think they really are anyway?

:twisted: “What a game.” :twisted:

The endorsement game is truly absurd! Fuck being popular! Be yourself without anchoring it to “money” or “public acceptance”.
That a person’s value ($$$$$) & public image is “cornered” by any and all private behavior… what a joke!

This kind of drama… I don’t know whether to laugh or cry. :lol: :shock: :sad:

Hi robert,

It may take Marina awhile to get to this one, so for now your answer is that no, the word comes from old Anglo-Saxon scitta, and is related to “skat” and the Dutch schijt. :cool:

The acronym story is a proverbial crock of…

Which reminds me…maybe I should quit doing the “Fractured Philology” series. What do you think, Marina?

Homework: “Shit” was another slang term for marijuana.

Now the ads are selling ‘potted plants’ :shock:

Please don’t burn that pretty face. :smile:
Let’s see…other names for pot: weed,shit,dope,grass,cheeba,wacky tobaccy,cannibus,and others I can’t think of now.
As far as Michael Phelps smoking it,I could care less. If they would legalize pot then there would be no more big a deal of Michael smoking it than if he were caught drinking at a bar. :cool:

I got the shit do you have the ‘bread’?

Michael Phelps is just a kid, and kids do dumb stuff it’s all part of growing up. It’s nice to see he is normal. Kids will be kids.
This is a very funny video thanks for the morning laugh.

…now it’s time for some Peter Tosh – Legalize It to go with that second bong hit. :cool:

I didn’t see “wacky backy” in your list. :???:

Hi Chemikal,

Did you get caught up on your sleep? How did the exam go?

I notice you didn’t comment on my Dragostea din Tei misheard lyrics post. Did you overlook it, or are you just politely keeping your reaction to yourself? :razz:

Sorry if I offended you!

Believe it or not, Marina’s still a little shy and unsure of herself.

Have you noticed the out-takes at the end of some of her videos, and the pauses for edits in others? When she can consistently do her videos in one take, she’ll probably be confident enough to take on more TV shows, movie spots, and public speaking engagements. :smile:

Further to Evan’s reply, Capt.Jack debunked this urban legend several months ago, but I don’t recall which video his comments were made in. Perhaps someone else can add a link to his discussion below.
Also, Marina talked about the Dutch word “schijt” in the Butterfly Guess-the-Word-game and answer.

That’s what we used to call it wacky backy. :lol:

Probably about like Paris Hilton, they don’t care watch he or she does. :roll:

there was a program on BBC2 on tuesday 3rd about Pot…….Weed….
and they did tests on mice and rats .
the test where that smokeing ……weed…. when you are a Adlult could possible be ok ….
they had a man saying he has 3 a day …

then a Reall drugged up man ( looked that part as well ) saying he has over 5 …..6…7….just takes loads when he wants .
I tried it …..but did not like it :cool: :neutral:

You don’t know what your on about! Of course thats how you smoke pot

Hello Evan, I just woke up actually!
It’s 5:00 PM, and what of it? :-)

In your case, it’s impossible to offend me, because I know that wouldn’t be your intention in the first place.

In my case, I held back, out of fear of offending. I guess every person has his own different offense threshold.

Anyway I thought that the misheard lyrics were hard to swallow, since I know exactly how they would look written on paper, and I rarely saw a resemblance between what I heard, and the interpretation I saw, of the two languages mixed together. I guess, for the fun of it one can play along, but it just didn’t fit to well with me. And I listened to it twice, in order to be sure. :-)

A Scottish Buddhist! Well, I shouldn’t be surprised…I’ve long known about the Jewish Highland clan (the MacAbees). :mrgreen:

I second the request for [mondegreen] – let’s have a green world and put a stop to global warming. :smile:

love to get back into it Marina Done a few , possible more to come :smile: :cool:

I thought “SPELLIG” was deliberate! :lol: Ah, the irony…wait, is that correct usage or not? :???:

Marina I am by no way making fun of your Russian accent as I love it, I love the whole video as you make fun of the pot, it adds another side of you that is cool and neat, but at 32 seconds into the video I just love the way you say marijuana. I played it back at least four times just to listen to your pronunciation of the word. :grin: What is the Russian words for pot or marijuana? :smile:

Sounds as though he has a cold, Marina. Make him a hot(forwords) [toddy]. :grin:

If it was deliberate then, yes, it was correct to call it irony. (I think …)

Though the idea of misheard lyrics rocks!
But I guess it helps to be ignorant of the language in the song, in order to fully appreciate it. :P
(and by that, I’m not calling anyone an ignorant!)

Милая Марина,

Pronunciation note: po-ti-GUA-ya, not po-TI-gua.

Spanish words are accented on the second to last syllable when they end in a vowel or n; otherwise, the accent falls on the last syllable, unless there is an accent mark showing otherwise. :smile:

I would like to request the word [Derby] As in [Local Derby] sports events between local teams and such.

Now the ads are selling tea pots :shock:

Don’t be so surprised, Evan; Europe’s oldest Tibetan Buddhist Monastery is at Eskdalemuir in Scotland, and the Abbot of the Samye Ling is also the founder of the Holy Isle Project on Holy Isle in the Firth of Clyde.
However, just to set the record straight, I am neither a Scotsman nor do I follow Tibetan traditions. I have been to the Samye Ling Monastery and it’s a beautiful place.

Marina, do you make words with your alphabet soup :???: :roll:

I don’t get offended because I have to be able to take what I dish out!

The intent of the video was not to poke fun at Romanian, but rather at the bewilderment of Americans trying to make sense of what they were hearing. :smile: My daughters introduced me to the song (and the mis-heard lyrics video.)

Good request; I’ve often wondered about that, too.

Yeah, weren’t the Viking explorers trying to recruit folks back home to settle there (hence their naming it “Greenland”)?

Hi Marishka,
I am your old fan. Loved your recent videos. On the Blitz one you had funny hair. Made me think of a request to plait your hair like Yulia Timoshenko one day and explain why foreigners say the Ukraine while the rest of countries go indefinite? Thanks a lot! Would be fun if you did.

It was Eirik the Red (Eirikur Rauði), who was an Icelandic tearaway (originally from Norway) exiled for anti-social behaviour, who was trying to convince people to go with him to colonize Greenland, and he called it Greenland to make it seem more enticing than Iceland. Fair enough, in the summertime it can be astonishingly pleasant in some of the sheltered fjords and temperatures can get up to the mid to upper twenties in places, but three months of summer and nine of winter is the reality and the landscape is grey and white for most of those winter months, with temperatures down in the minus fifties at times.

Cute little pigtails and some similar history, in regards to “pot’…some mother herbs(old school health care), the braids {(like russian saliors)TAR}—soaked with opium, as with—then sold to apothecaries. The MOTHER HERB was what saved many the civility!!! …the magic word from HotForWords today is “SEEP”…the mother of teas…love and later :grin: :sad: :lol: Where’s the heat?

I would like to request [Pardon my french]. Why do some people use that expression when they use fowl language?

It’s the sandpaper. :roll:

That’s the thing, though. These cats are not looking at hundreds; some of the big guys are looking at single deals in the tens of millions. Cumulatively, one’s endorsements can get into hundreds of millions. I would like to say that money is not that big of a draw for me, but who am I kidding. Someone offers me $22 mil to sell their shoes if I hit 50 homeruns this year, I honestly do not know what i would do. :???:

Really the only good use for pot i ever found was its one hell of an effective hangover cure.

kind of an interesting discussion on the linguist list about the origin of “pot”.

There’s another side to the “pot” name: In the ancient old world languages, the term “pot” meant “living water” or “moving water,” as in the words “potion,” “hippopotamus” and “mesopotamia.”

Shamans teach that the consciousness altering substances that partake of the “water” spirits are hemp and the peyote cactus. Thus the “pot” nickname for cannabis. “Peyote” is just “P. O. T.” in Spanish.

The laws against cannabis are unconstitutional. Also, the Declaration of Independence says we have “unalienable” rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The reason people smoke cannabis is to pursue happiness, pure and simple.

Frankly, I would boycott any company that withdrew its support of Phelps because of this matter.

The drug laws are evidence of prejudice and bias, not good jurisprudence.

“Wog” is a derogatory term used in the UK to denote that a person is Indian or Pakistani. It has the same connotation as the “n-word” does here in the USA, very insulting.

Howdy, everybody!
I just now was able to view your lesson, Dear Teach. Utterly hilarious-you crack me up!

Hi Marina! mmm well I don’t think he should left his medals…and here, in Mexico, another name for marihuana is “mota” or “yerba” but the last is not very common.

:)

I think [Zeitgeist] would be a good word to explain. It’s an interesting one and I saw many people spelling it wrong(if you come from Germany it hurts^^).

I noticed Marina, that you are most definitely not on pot.

How do I know this for such certainty?

The simple fact that The Pot Is On You!

Excellent comment.

Since cannabis is indigenous to the Middle East… it makes me think that the anointing oil used there was, wholly or partially, derived from the oil of this plant. It would alter the consciousness of those who suffered from various afflictions.

I am gonna make some “anointing oil” one day and rub it on my forehead… see what happens.

The pot laws are wrong… period.

Hey, Ya’ll!

What do you get when you drop a piano down a mineshaft?

Congress justified their actions by combining the jurisdiction over interstate commerce with the infamous “elastic clause.” That only applies to federal drug laws. The vast majority of drug laws are state laws, and nothing in the Constitution prevents states from passing (most) drug laws.

Not saying I agree or disagree. Just saying how they justified it.

Ooh yeah! I heartily second [Zeitgeist.]

How did you miss torpedoe?

Marina,

Can you elaborate a little about your concern pertaining to youtube’s default change? Your twitter comment kinda worried me. If you see this…I know you’re busy.

Always.

So, the guy who won 8 Olympic gold medals and the latest Super Bowl MVP are both pot smokers. I guess marijuana must not be so bad, as long as it is used responsibly.

YT put you in Entertainment, I found only one of your videos, ‘Womanizer’.

They list both her last videos in the hd section

It may well be healthier to eat pot than to smoke it. Who wants all that resin going into their lungs.
There must be a high roughage factor from eating this weed. Pot is high in fiber & maybe some minerals I don’t know about.
It is most likely grow organically.
Do any pharmaceutical company extract the THC from pot and put it in a pill form? This seems like a good way to go for medical use.

When people go to YouTube they click on the Video tab and then browse on what videos show as it use to show the most viewed videos for the day.

As of today, the default is not “Most Popular” a secret algorithm that appears to have nothing to do with views as I don’t appear anywhere on that list.

The only trouble with eating pot is that the DEA will follow you around with a pooper-scooper. :lol:

Take the “pot” and boil it with water and butter… say 30 minutes. The “inner pot oil” will mingle with the butter and repel from the hot water. Take off heat and let cool until your hands can handle the temp of the mixture. Squish the “pot” as hard as you can… the buttery green mixture should ooze out from your tight grip back into the container. All the leaves should be separated out from the green butter/water mixture.

Put container (the cooking pot with green butter/water) in fridge… butter will rise to the top and eventually harden.

When you can break away the hardened green butter… you are now ready for a myriad of goofy times… garlic bud butter cheese toast, chocolate chip bud butter banana loaf, and oatmeal-raisin bud butter cookies and so on.

[Kibosh] would be a good test of M’s skills if you read the fine print here.

I’ll bet you “skill” means something in Dutch like burg or city or bump in the road. Whose our Dutchman here?

Your futile attempts to literally smoke the stainless steel pot is really hilarious, Marina. :lol:

Anyway, another good lesson.

My verdict:

Substance abuse is never a good thing and if society has any chance to function and benefit humanity, actions must have their corresponding consequences. Loosing endorsements alone is too light of a punishment for someone that a significant number idolize according to the same mechanics that drive celebrity worship.

And please, don’t destroy your beautiful mind with substances that distort your sense of reality and ultimately destroy your mental, physical and psychological heath. May you stay beautiful in both mind and body and enlighten us with your lessons for many years to come. :smile:

My favorite words are for the users, or the act of using, not the plant… such as “Cheeba monkeys” or “Rockin’ the ganj”.

Anyone remember the old song from the Dr. Demento show called “Wildwood Weed” (or something like it)?

Marina, you’re supposed to smoke basket, not pot… weave some dried hemp into a basket, decorate with buds and leaves, light in several places, and breathe deeply… much like Michael Douglas in “Romancing the Stone”. “Now that’s what I call a campfire.”

Wild Wood Weed

I don’t know if you have heard of the issuance of a new top domain, .ME, which is a country domain for Montenegro (recently independent of .YU). They decided to peddle it worldwide instead of reserving it for those in the country. Some went for as much as $70K. The U.S. had the biggest interest (%70) because of the English word ME and there were more URLs issued in one day than ever before (20K+).

Look which names this bozo bought in hopes of making a killing reselling them. BTW, a friend of mine bought a .ME and I had never heard of it, so I had to research this out of curiosity.

Oh, and, yes, F.ME works. Can’t you just see it? “My Website? Uh, yeah, I have one. It’s… uh… It’s… Oh, nevermind, Mom!”

A mineway Steinway.

Where’s the potted plant on the bedside table ?
crack ? weed ? Marys ?
You can learn a lot from videos games , in this case GTA :mrgreen:

Correction: Try F.ME. But somebody missed a bet with F.YU, cause it doesn’t work. Maybe the Yugoslavs reserve the domain for only in-country use.

Kewl, the embedded videos now have the YT title and ratings over laid on top of the video above.

Got a grouping for most viewed followed by a grouping for popular.

I don’t know, but is it the origin of the phrase “getting stoned”?

Vigorous writing is concise. A sentence should contain no unnecessary words, a paragraph no unnecessary sentences, for the same reason that a drawing should have no unnecessary lines and a machine no unnecessary parts. This requires not that the writer make all his sentences short, or that he avoid all detail and treat his subjects only in outline, but that every word tell.

Carrie Underwood was in my gym class this morning.. she’s REALLY cute, especially without makeup!

SO C :cool: :cool: L Marina :!: I’m so :mrgreen: with envy :!:

 
For those of you who have read the comments below about the YouTube changing their default page to Popular as opposed to Most Viewed, we ain’t letting HotForWords slip into oblivion, right? Maybe we could also patronize the HotForWords videos on YT?

At this moment, HotForWords video “The Cardinals” is on the YT Popular This Week page 3 in the first spot (#41).

Also, the HotForWords video “Do You Gargle?” is on YT Popular This Week page 4 in the seventh spot (#67).

I love these videos.
I didn’t know that gargle and gargoyle were related.

Awesome videos!!! Go check them out.
Ohhh, and unlike a library, when you check these videos out, you don’t have to return them and get fined. :mrgreen:

Hey cufan71,
I wonder how Carrie Underwood feels about being in the presence of the magnificent HotForWords? What if Carrie is a secret HFW fan and has been on these pages as someone else all along?

And if not, then someone should let Carrie know to visit us over here to watch HotForWords video lessons.

Consider it done. :grin:
Carrie should be here any minute now.

pedanticKarl… any pages other than Most Popular pages for Today mean nothing. People on the Internet only go to what’s presented to them, they do not click on other menu items.

So, let’s see if we can figure out how one appears on the Most Popular Videos for Today pages.

Also, your balance is sometimes tested… like trying to walk on the ship’s deck… on the “high seas!”. :shock: :lol: :mrgreen:

The “Pot” video above is now in 100th position on the Popular page#5, where it was #97 about an hour ago. Cranking up that Excel spreadsheet. :smile:

Hi Karl! Like I said down below: “Two of my favorite girls in one room” :!: AWESOME :!: :mrgreen: :grin:

An hour ago, “smpfilms” wasn’t even on the Popular 100 when HotForWords was at #97. Now, “smpfilms” is in the #12 spot on page 1 of the Popular pages.

Ohhhh, this is going to be lots of fun figuring this one out. My gears will be working overtime today. If you see smoke, don’t call the fire dept. It’s my brain on overload. :grin:

There is one thing I learned while living in Mexico, if nature put a plant on this planet it is for a reason.

Case in point, for every poison sting from an insect there was some other plant or mineral around which contained the antidote.

i’ve noticed in your bloopers you often use the expletive “fuck”. i would like to know the origins of the word [fuck] as well as why the FCC deemed Bono’s (lead vocalist of the Irish rock band U2) usage acceptable when he won an award on national television.

*i would like to note that the U.S. Supreme court deemed that the public display of the word “fuck” is protected under the First and Fourteenth Ammendment and is not considered a criminal offence. so i can’t get in trouble for this question.*

Speaking of role models, maybe Obama shouldn’t smoke cigarettes.

:cool: Hi whitetrashlou! Check this out! Marina did an article for Ask Men on word myths and she gave the origin of that word. http://www.askmen.com/top_10/entertainment/top-10-word-myths_1.html I doubt Marina will do a lesson on it however, but you never know! :wink:

Marina, forgive my naivete, but I’m a no B.S. guy. Is there not someone you could call, email, or whatever who could clarify their procedures and methods pertaining to ratings, or anything else for that matter? For God’s sake, they ought to consider you an asset from a business aspect. And when you get down to it, any success you enjoy would benefit them.

:shock: :smile: :mrgreen: :wink: :twisted: :cool:

Marina, a quick update. I’ve been monitoring the Popular pages since 4:21 AM and there have been 3 updates since then or one update per hour appx. (Doing it manually at the moment).

The HotForWords views on the POPULAR page#5 have increased by about 5,300 views, but that has not helped the position.

As a whole, all videos slipped in position as new videos are added to the board and older videos leave the board. Videos views appear to have very little affect if any at the moment that I can see.

Holy jumping statistics, I just refreshed Popular page #5 and you just jumped to #92.

I wonder if the number of views per video has any influence on the position in ‘Most Popular’. Look at Chris Brown TV, Leona Lewis, Fred and Beonce, all ahead of Marina but Michael Jackson still behind despite only 35 videos.
Or how about the rate of increase in the number of views? :???:
PK must investigate. :grin:

Edit: Views probably do have an effect, but are not synchronized with every update. In other words, a change in video position may not show the newly updated views, plus as new videos enter the board, that has an affect on position.

What about number of Shares, Favourites, Playlists and Ratings?

Google acquired YouTube and put some technical people in charge who thought it would be a good idea to create a “secret formula” to determine what videos are considered popular, and they want to keep the formula secret so that people cannot manipulate the system.

So, even though I have been one of their top producing partners, they can’t tell me anything about the formula for fear that word will get out and people will start manipulating their videos to appear on those pages.

Of course, if they simply kept the system of showing the most viewed videos for the day, which is what people want to see, then everything would have been fine as you cannot manipulate your video views without getting caught… plus views would seem to indicate the popularity of a video, correct?

Some people are saying this opens it up for YouTube to promote certain videos without people realizing it, others say it allows them to censor. I know they think it’s an improvement in the site, but I don’t see it yet

Yeah, but which way would you be facing? :???:

Hey look :!: Character Assassination :mrgreen:

I know I would be facing down :roll:

Go Girl Go…[GO GO GIRL], I think that request would search You Tube well :lol: , Art is what makes human nature interesting and the art of communication is universal. Long live*** The Republic of Lexicon***

Yes, Bob, other metrics do play a part in measuring popularity according to many blogs that I have read including YouTube’s. Of course, no one knows to what extend or what the formula is, but I’m looking to do just that, or get close to it. :grin:

Essentially, what I garner out of the various things that I have studied, it is a combination of ratios of the variables and rate of change of the variables.

Wow.. youtube has changed the default to Most Popular. Was nice knowing you all.

You don’t get rid of us that easily! :smile:
Never Give Up!

Marina, I’m thrilled to get your response. Thanks for enlightening me. You are totally correct about why the system should remain the way it’s been, it seems to me. Me smells a possible attempt at manipulation. What corporate crap!
Please keep dummies like me posted about this situation. And know that you are, and always will remain NUMBER ONE with me and the rest of the Family.

Love you.
Always.

Marina said:

“…views would seem to indicate the popularity of a video, correct?

If I may clarify some things about the notion of popularity without getting pedantic. Our western culture typically associates popularity with, “mostest” or “biggest”. Typically, quantity over quality.

A bumper sticker says; he who dies with the most toys, wins. We grow up with the idea that one who takes home the most marbles, wins.

In high school, the one with the most friends is typically thought of as the most popular, right? What about the smartest? Not always the most popular.

So, in the context of quantity, YT “Most Viewed” videos was the simplest and most easily understood to indicate popularity. However, since views were manipulated, (amongst many other things), YT had to re-define popularity.

As a mental exercise, I can still utilize views as a measure of popularity, but instead of absolute views, what if I said that the change of rate of views is now my measure of popularity. Much harder to manipulate and more difficult to understand, but of course, YT has added a lot more variables besides simple rate of change of views.

In some schools, I might be the most popular because I am the best looking; in other schools I might be the most popular because I have the most money, albeit being homely looking.

A lot more can be said, but I’m out of characters.
Remind me to blog about that topic. :grin:

Popularity page update:
The HFW “Pot” video has now been pulled from the Popular pages. It was #92 for the last hour and a half and the views did not change, where earlier, that video’s views changed dramatically (in the 2,500s).

My early delusion is that the video was pulled due to lack of change of views? Question? will the video return once it is pulled? Don’t know, and I am glued to the tube. :grin:

On the Most Viewed pages, the “Pot” video is in the #36 position.

were did these words come from?? I’m a new subscriber by the way

[alphabet]

[news]

Pk what page or site do we look for now so we can be aware of when she uploads a new video? It used to be this page http://www.youtube.com/browse?s=mp&t=t&cr=US&p=2. So has YT changed the line up now?

Thanks Marina for leaving my dotted line around my comments. :smile:

Hi Mike, the link you have is correct.
However, Marina may or may not change her strategy in how she deals with uploads, so we’ll wait to see what she says.

YT has changed the default page. Click on the YT VIDEO link in the upper left of the YT page. The 20 default videos that are shown on page 1 is the POPULAR category. It used to be MOST VIEWED. That changes the way visitors will view videos, which means that Marina’s videos may not be as easily sought out as before.

See if Marina can get you an autograph picture of Carrie Underwood. You can send Marina your home address and get it from her. Worth a chance. :wink: Marina’s place to contact her.

Thanks pal. :smile:

If you don’t mind could you keep me informed on what she decides to go with?

I’m now seeing the top four ‘Most Viewed’ in a film-strip type display above the top twenty ‘Most Popular’.
Are rebellion and/or common sense prevailing? :smile:
I see also, we’ve been promoted to 1500 characters for our comments.

I’m biting my virtual tongue to keep from replying with a virtual scathing insult. The quote was from the Declaration of Independence, which has very little to do with the Constitution these days. The laws are unconstitutional because the instigators did an end run around the law rather than addressing it. As far as the Declaration is concerned, it answers your question quite handily. “Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.” Murderers take life, no? It doesn’t sanction taking life or liberty in the pursuit of happiness. Why didn’t you take your smart pills this morning?

Marina, I have to show you this because I dont want you to think I have gone behind your back… X

Ok :mrgreen: but let me know if I evr step out of line! I can’t wait for tomorrow! Hopefully I will get my HD camcorder tomorrow. I know I don’t get many views but as it is, having better quality might do me some good.

Hello Marina, I didn’t want to post this on the comments (but since you and your office don’t or wont reply, let’s try this in public…sorry).
I wrote your business link 11 days ago and then I wrote you privately three days ago. I asked if your paintings were for sale anywhere. I also gave (you) information on director Michael Mann and his work with Ferrari and how you could do work with them in LA and become a Russian spokes model for their luxury brand and others. I even offered to help you and your boyfriend (whoever drives the GT3 Porsche that was in your recent slide show) enjoy top-level luxury cars for a drive in Malibu.
NO RESPONSE LIKE I’M NOTHING FOR BEING NICE AND TRYING TO HELP YOU AND BUY SOMETHING FROM YOU AS WELL!
You know, I’ve bought your calendar, I’ve written privately and advised you to do political words during the election season and was happy to then see you go on shows like O’Reily and so forth. I’ve cared about helping you and I don’t deserve even an answer for wanting to buy a painting from you and help your career even more? OK. Thanks again for visiting Wyoming. Last year, I wrote your office about possibly bringing you and yours up here for a $6,000 speaking engagement. But you’ve been here, right? OK. Hope to hear from you…although I think I’m losing interest in your artwork…and your career, unfortunately. If I don’t matter, trying to be nice…duh

Very :cool: :!: When my family owned a dairy we had a 4020, but not with that much horsepower! :smile:

I remember i have heard where CV [curriculum vitae] comes from. But i couldnt find in the words. Was it in my dream :)
Hopefully we will see it.

Thanks, Boogiebro! :)

Do a youtube search on Rocky Frisco for some musical fun.

Hey, I’m a pathological Anglophile, so “dumb Limey” doesn’t compute. One of the best singer/songwriters I’ve ever heard is coming from England to visit me for the third time. He has stuff on the web: Lata Gouveia; look him up. He’s from London, but is now an adopted son of the Tulsa Sound.

…my dear marina, you have outdone yourself…
…now that you have reset the bar….what next?
…i have watched this six times, and cannot stop laughing…
…hats off…true genius…

Calvin Coolidge was noted for his lack of loquaciousness. At a dinner party, a lady seated next to him said, ” I bet a friend that I could get you to say three words.” Coolidge replied, “You lose.”

Phelps should get a pass on this incident, sure he may have broke some moral clause in his contracts but in the grand scheme of things life is too short to deal with such a insignificant matter.

Does James inspire to be a [hi-jacker]…insusperable…keep up all the fun and thanks :roll:

Marina, a note about the above “Pot” video. That video has been on the Popular page #5 since Feb 5, 4:21 AM, but it disappears off of the Popular pages, then comes back.

From observation, it seems that a video that lands on the Popular pages, has a shelf life of 7 days, assuming all other metrics are met. Right now, the Pot video has been there two days, so I expect it to be there 5 more days assuming the other metrics are met; ratings, rising views, etc.

At this moment, the ranking is #93 (p5 #13) and had been as high as #92

Thanks, Karl: You have these thought waves and its been wonderful for your communicative sharing within The Republic of Lexicon!!! This wisdom from hotrocky…Rocky Frisco – The Blues For You…anyway ‘preciat the good work!*!*!*!*!*! :lol:

Hey thanks leonard, I appreciate your thoughts.
I love reading your comments.
Love those Rocky Frisco Blues…

Enlightenment is a course followed and thank you Bob. Check hotrocky out…About Rocky Frisco 1 bees are good :razz:

:lol: I guess I picked on the wrong guy to pick on, but I don’t mind making an idiot of myself because I achieved my objective, which was to get you to clarify your point, for which I thank you. :smile:

BTW, thanks also for introducing Lata.

With current themes of celebrity athletes, scandal and continuing willingness to believe the worst, this is a good time take a look back at a more innocent age without ubiquitous video when a fan could urge “Say it ain’t so, Joe.” I can reference your lesson here; ain’t kidding.

In an ideal and completely rational world, Michael Phelps should not suffer any consequences for smoking pot, as long as it doesn’t negatively impact his performance. However, we live in a crazy world of irrationality, where a stock price can fall simply because a drug was found to be 96 percent effective instead of 100 percent, where people sincerely believe that the earth is only 6,000 years old, and where experimenting with cells in a petri dish is considered immoral. Keeping in mind all of this irrationality, it is a rational choice for individual sponsors to withdraw support for Phelps or face a loss of public respect. That’s our sad lot as humans: we will always be held back by our crazy, emotional ways. Fortunately, though, we can decide as a society to change our thinking and laws in order to create a better world for the next generation. So, let’s make some changes!

Teacher,
Hello, what is the differance between [affect] & [effect]? Thank you.

Chad

I would like to request the word [snepling] for climbing walls as a sport activity
thanks :razz:

I would like to request the word [curse] thanks

Michael Phelps has trained at an unbelievable great level for the past decade to achieve what no one else has done in Olympic swimming. We should give him credit for the honor he has brought to the USA through his competition and allow him a little understanding if he happens to act like a 20 year old occasionally.
Thanks MP, we still love you!

When it comes to the battle between human liberty and the psychopaths in government, I tend to be a little bit like a religious fanatic. :)

Lata is a quiet genius, has a pocketful of University degrees and speaks many languages. The songs he writes, sings and records sound better than 90% of the studio stuff the big labels are pushing. Tell your friends about him.

thanks much cufan71! but now this arises another question… how did it transform from “ficken”- to strike, to “fuck”- sexual intercourse? i agree, Marina will most likely not do a lesson on this, because of it’s obsene nature. ahh, rejecte by yet another beautiful Ruskie woman… hey Marina… does this mean i’m a [Xenophile]?

Thanks, I sort of didn’t believe the story, but I’m glad to find out.

I would like to request the words [Laptop] and [Request] :D

Marine
Hey my name is alex and i would love it if you did the word [wedgie] and even if you gave yourself a wedgie! That would be cool but if you dont want 2 wedgie yourself please do the word! Be they way I love your show so thanks! I luv u so much:mrgreen:!!!!!

hi Marina! i would like to request the word [concessions]! thanks so much!

i would like to request the word [orgasm], it seems like it would be interesting

i hope this word is not too dirty but i would also like to request the word [masturbation]

Hey can I request the word [the] :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: hahahaha

Marina if can i call you that. Please do [masterbation] or [orgasm] they both are very good words. I give props to iloveprettyrussians5. Using one of those words will make great video. From your biggest fan vinnythewordman12321!!!

Marina if can i call you that. Please do [masterbation] or [orgasm] they both are very good words. I give props to iloveprettyrussians5. Using one of those words will make great video. Ok thanks for considering it! From your biggest fan vinnythewordman12321!!!

[Orgasm] and [Masterbation] are good words i agree with u guys. I third those words and i hope Marina makes a video on them. It be awesome!!!!

Alternative terms for “pot”: buds, greens, trees, k-town(better than average quality pot), smoke, weed, chronic, cannibus, Mary Jane… :mrgreen: That’s one funny video, though;lol!!! :cool:

Hey Marina, I’d REALLY like to know the story behind the word [akimbo].

I had a hard time believing it was actually an English word. @___@; Please, Please, Please make a video about it! I’m begging D;

hi marina i would like to know the origin of the thrase [kicked the bucket] as i have never understood why we use it when we refer to someone who has died.

I would like to request the word [ambidexterity], and a more quirky word; [cocksure] and how it relates to the word(s) cock (rooster), cock (faucet), and/or cocky (pompous).

Best, Misha

I would like the request the word [Scaffolding]. we have been using it at work and people keep calling it “Scaffleting” rather than “Scaffolding” and it made me want to know the origins of the word.

Here is an interesting word that I came across, [Pilot]. If you would again do me the honor of finding the origin.

no i dont think Phelps should lose his endorsements. when you smoke pot, it mellows you out and slows you down. he is way too fast to be a pot smoker(he probably does crack or speed). also pot gives you the munchies and he is too fit for that too. :mrgreen: :roll:
