    You have a great personality, which I don’t think he mentioned, and you come across as a genuine nice person. Hope North America does’nt change you too much. Twitter seems to be going into overload!I wonder why?

    Whether forks are evolved from spoons or not it’s not for me to say. Especially when I don’t even know who invented the spork. I’m going to investigate and find out about this daft spork business :eek: That was an excellent article by the way.

  • hs4mm

    Actually, I think that author is a fool — he doesn’t really believe that a person like Marina is possible — he is indeed a cynic.

  • originalistrick

    More good stuff, Dear Teach – great! Congrats as always.

    I just read the article, it’s very “nice” Marina :razz:

    Why haven’t you told us before about your large tech & marketing staff? :???:

  • greatestpotential

    It is called a Gibo’s tale after all. So he changed and saw the light and now he takes his hat off to Marina. See, there’s even hope for cynics :idea:

    Marina RULES and Happy New Years :smile: 9months and then Xmas

  • seesixcm6

    Dear Marina, That was a nice article about you I’m glad you are getting such good publicity. In that article it hints that others might be doing computer work for you? I don’t believe it! I think you are the technical whiz you say you are. As for a business manager, I think you should have a great literary agent to handle your book deals, the next calendar, your quiz shows, and other publications. I hope you have more and more success! :razz:

    All press is good press.

  • hs4mm

    I do not understand the reference to “Gibo’s tale” — what is that?

  • greatestpotential

    In this instance I believe “Gibo” is a slang term for Gibraltarian. A person born and bred in Gibraltar, er, with some double entendre suggestion on my part, perhaps.

    Sporks are highly overrated. It’s not much of a spoon because of the slits, making it leak if used for soup. A spoon should be able to do soup. And as a fork, it scores low for the fork function. You find yourself ready for a meal, and steaming below your face is some nice food, and you have to use a spork?
    If I was to be eaten by cannibals in the darkest of Africa or New Guinea, and they used sporks? No. It’s not respectful. Fork and spoon, or even chopsticks, but by gawd, not a spork.

  • swampwiz

    Marina, I am a Twitter virgin, and you are the first I will follow.

  • swampwiz

    That gives me an idea – how about the origin of the word “virgin”?

    :idea: squeezing is a compression…a de-press is not all good? :roll:

  • greatestpotential

    I agree. Sporks are not for soup. I could sure go for some hot wonton soup right about now:

    Like a big baby I secretly enjoy licking jello off a plastic spork as the flavor of sweet gelatin tingles my taste buds and the spork prongs scrape against my tongue, etc.

    If I was to be eaten by cannibals in the darkest of Africa or New Guinea, and they used sporks I’d be like fighting, kicking and screaming and yelling and spitting hot broth in their eyes until I passed out or died- f*^# that!!!

    :lol:

  • pandion

    That would all depend on who is doing the “de-pressing”

    Another piece of rubber stamp journalism… :mrgreen:
    Thank the AP writer they’re all copying from for doing good work!
    It’s only plagarism if it’s verbatim, right? :roll:
    Takes me back to my old high school journalism class…
    Everybody wrote a story about the school picnic…
    “…and a wonderful time was enjoyed by all.” :grin:
    It’s all good, though… Congratulations!

    Thanks for that hot steamy pic of wonton soup. And how’s that for a spoon in that pic, eh? Now, that’s a spoon.

  • greatestpotential

    Ah, you’re welcome muggins. That certainly is some spoon!

  • greatestpotential

    Cha Cha, that was so WRONG :evil:

    I thought it was hilarious and had potential to be very flattering. He is accusing our dear Lady of cheating :shock: . Since she claims that she is not cheating, then she must be a liar, too. :mad:

    It seems that Lady Marina is taking this all in stride. This Gibo cat doesn’t know Marina from from Adam’s cat, so why should he have any trust or confidence in her? He does think that she is sooooo good that she must have a lot of help “including a few clever techie geeks and marketing people!” Or is it that she is such a lovely looking Lady that she could not possibly be that smart?

    See here, Mr. Gibo, some people do have an abundance of talent. One person can be very attractive, have a sense of humor (at least he doesn’t think she stole that, too), have some business savvy, and be a ‘puter geek, too. I do not have that much talent, and it is obvious that Mr. Gibo does not either. Loose some of the cynicism, bro. Sit back and enjoy the show. :smile:

    That’s another way of saying “you rox”!

    Apologies to Marina! :oops: I was a little cranky when I posted my last comment. I forgot that you run your website pretty much by yourself, unlike what this article claims. PLEASE find it in your generous heart to not send me to detention, unless of course the lovely Lady M is in charge :wink: ! On my way to another word lesson, or whatever…

    Nice post indeed.

  • johnnoel

    I liked it when I joined the site & it said, “Howdy, johnnoel.” I always say Howdy & wonder where it came from, other than Texas.

  • lover-fighter

    Marina, anyone who says anything negative about you with no substantive or constructive input is simply JEALOUS. They are pathetic losers with no life so they take it out on you.

    You are beautiful, highly intellingent, and your accent is awesome! :wink:

  • imakookru12

    Marina, I became aware of you from the O’Reilly Factor, and was hooked! It was not until yesterday that I realized you had a website, to which I subscribed immediately! I was curious about the ugliness you spoke of when you last appeared with Bill, and it makes me heartsick when I read some of them. Bill is right. Ignore those imbecilic ad hominem attacks. These idiots feel threatened by your scholarship, and you fail to live up to their “blonde bimbo” expectations. I am intrigued by your unique and entertaining presentations which nourish my long love affair with words and linguistics. You are a sweet and beautiful soul. Scratch Gorby behind the ears for me, okay?

    Came from “How do you do” which shortened to “How d’ya do.” and further shortened to “Howd ‘ya do” then “Howd’ya” and Howdy.
