Derby

Homework :cool:
Oh yes I’m plaining to watch the Derby! I haven’t picked a horse yet!

ouch

 
Awesome lesson Marina!
Loved the question and answer interchange and the gorgeous girl floating on the boat to America from the Kidnap video.

Race oN. :roll:Know a wife with horses; hats off to the races…[spear-mint]….grasshoppers

:shock: or was it the whisky… :oops: …ladies fancy their liquer :lol: [horse a-piece] like in bar dice?…good job**!*!** Marina!!!

nope

Not likely… but, I might eat some [ Kentucky Fried? ] Chicken. :grin:

Homework: I believe that the hat came before the race. I heard the hat was invented by some bald man named Baron Von Coldhead.?!!

Check out the Derby contenders. The names of the horses are too FUNNY :!: :lol: I may go wiith Mine that Bird! Marina have you picked Mr. Hot Stuff since that’s the tittle for the lesson on Youtube :?: :wink:

 
Oh yeah, that gorgeous girl on the boat to America
is also very nautical :lol: and our little Gorby might
say naughty’cal :lol:

I brought Mint Julips

Yeah.. she’s payed a visit to America! Did I use it right there?

 
The “She is all about cleav*ge” video is on
Popular page 1, #23 again. That video was
published 7 days ago and bucking all odds. Very kewl :cool:

 
Yes you did, if you were to rope her in. :lol:

Karl, I’m using an old Dell laptop (ten or so years old) but the video freezes and the voice is out of sequence.

This was the improvement after I downloaded Adobe 10.

Do you think it’s my video card that needs an upgrade or the memory (REM?) ? Where do I find out the capacity of the REM.
I’ve seen the RAM (256mb)

I will try a Disk De frag next.

Your input will be appreciated Tks

 
Interestingly, the word payed is listed in some dictionaries as archaic or obsolete. So, perhaps the phrase “payed a visit to America” back at the time of Columbus might have been the correct way to spell it.

Today, payed has the special meaning related to working with ropes.

That was a weird virus I had, it changed your Jump video into to a eight minute plus episode of America’s Top Model

Probably will.

But does a Nascar race count as a “Derby”?
It’s got more horses…

Dear HotForWords

I wasn’t going to watch the Kentucky Derby on the Second, until I watched this lesson!

Your Student,
ThoughtOnFire

PS It’s Beltane (How convenient of a day or two for Mr. Derby to get away)

You’re sister is a ditz, I like her. (A misspell of a pun there!)

(You’re not a ditz, I’m just kidding, of course!)

:mrgreen:

I twittered your sister last night and she liked it :mrgreen:

Hi Che,
If you right click on the “My Computer” icon, then it will tell you how much RAM you have in your system. By the way, I only have 1 GB RAM running at 2.8 Mhz and I can watch two HD videos at once or 14 Standard videos all at once. The reason that my system is able to handle everything thrown at it is cause of my video card and some tweaks that I do. I have a NVIDIA 7200 in my system.

To answer your question; RAM and most importantly the video card is critical. If you are only using an internal video card, then a plug in video card will make a huge difference.

However, since your system is 10 years old, I recommend not upgrading it. You will run into more problems with drivers, BIOS and the like. You might spend $45 for a RAM upgrade and maybe $25 for a video card. I would save that money for a new system.

Tweaks that I would do is to remove all non-essential stuff running in the background. I also move my virtual memory (cache) to a second hard drive which increases the speed very noticeably. That’s done under Advanced and then Performance settings under the My Computer icon properties.

Could that second HD be an external HD?

Your right about not investing more $$ in an old computer.

Also my remote keyboard is so slow (the built in one doesn’t type accurately) It’s worst in Twitter than here.

Should have left this computer in Mexico, it’s still full of dirt and dust.

I just return this computer to the closet or use it only for Photoshop, It’s loaded with software.

Of course!…..[couser],poetic…swift horse…[coursing]…sport of hares—5 stars for your [sister] :razz:

An interesting choice indeed, Miss M. I regret that I may not be seeing the race, but at the same time I’m not making any promises.

Okay, that does it. Spitballs at ten paces!

Benjamin, Boxer, Clover

none racing for the dough.

Mollie, Mollie, Mollie

Poor, pretty filly, equine divine.
Eight Belles, second best, is no more.

You may rope her in or haul her in, but you pay her out, I believe. Ask Captain Jack. :smile:

Yeah, I’ll watch if I’m around a TV. What is it ,like, 2:30 long?
Great video. I like the dual roles. Though how you got my kitchen in there, I’ll never know! :twisted:

That’s the dress you should have worn for the Jump video. You know Marina it takes very little effort of your part to entertain us :wink:

{What's a little slippage of the cleavage among friends} :shock:

{Che is being naughty today} :oops:

No, I won’t be watching the derby. Good vid. I never even questioned why it was called a derby… hmm somebody’s slackin’ :oops:

Marina,
…I am probably not going to watch the Kentucky Derby with any kind of real interest. I am sure it’s bound to be qwerty (quirt) though for the horses.

Interestingly, over here in the UK we also have a race colloquially called “The Derby” (but pronounced Darby) – The Epsom Derby, run in June.

However, the biggest horse race of the year took place a few weeks ago – The Grand National (a 4 mile long chase with 40 horses starting).

Hey, baggie pants, what’s shakin’ :cool:

Marina, you’re beautiful. Ð’Ñ‹ красивы.

Great lesson, Marina! Your Evil Twin was pretty docile. Pretty earrings; perfect on you.

Thanks.

Always.

I’ve never worn a bowler hat before, but I have worn a hard hat that would probably resemble a bowler hat too someone with a Poindexter type of personality.

Oh, by the way, do you have any info pertaining to the f……..ouled-up voting process for Sexy Geek?

This is sounding kinky.

yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehawwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!

:wink: Gotta love horse racing events, butt I think if Seabiscuit was still alive today he’d probably be there holding up a picket sign with some saying on it like “DOWN WITH ANIMAL CRUELTY!” :lol:

I won at the Grand National this year, for the second time ever. However these two are coming over for the Derby. Bowlerdash

What an illeist type of fellow… :arrow: long live the zoot suit!

hey, whats the name of that russian hat that has some things to cover your ears???

Dear Marina,
You look wonderful in your pink dress with the blackboard in the background. But the kitchen background was strange with that old stove and the crude cabinet. Was that kitchen photo from a foreign country?
I’ll watch the Kentucky Derby on TV. So there was a horserace called a “derby” long before we made a hat called a “derby.” The “Brown Derby”is the name of a bar in Southern California.
An annual past-time is to see if the horse that wins the Kentucky Derby will also win the Preakness horserace and the Belmont Stakes. This is called winning the “Triple Crown.” No horse has won the “Triple Crown” in many years, now. :shock:
Seesixcm6

:mrgreen: Mr. Magoo on occassion will have a quasi derby look going on :arrow:

Она красивая (feminine of красивы)
Sorry, pedantic attack! :lol:

Homework:

I’ll watch the Derby if you’re riding a horse, Marina! :grin:

Ushanka :smile:

Dear Marina,
The song “My Old Kentucky Home” by Stepen Foster has a sentimental refrain:
“Weep no more my lady. Oh! Weep no more today!
We will sing one song for my old Kentucky home
For the old Kentucky home, far away.”
The horserace celebrates springtime, when life begins again, and hope for a good new year are celebrated in this horserace. People wear fine clothes, gamble a few dollars on a horse, and hope for something good. :grin:
Seesixcm6

Maybe a bit “knotty.” :lol:

DAMMIT! I just stepped on some bubble wrap in my kitchen! Thought I was at the O.K. Corral or something.

The Kentucky Derby is all very well, but what about the Irish Darby? :lol:

Beltane being the first of May, so named for the “bright fires” (Gaelic bealtaine) lit on the eve of the celebration. :cool:

There are fellow Celts here! Cool! Ardderchog! :grin:

Marina,
…Well that’s a interesting explanation, except this is the wrong type of horse. Interesting Horse History

Justin Morgan was a teacher, composer, businessman, and horseman who had moved to Randolph, Vermont from Springfield, Massachusetts in 1788. He acquired a bay colt, born in 1789, giving him the name Figure. This colt was the founding sire of the Morgan breed. While his true origins remain hidden in history, Figure is thought to have been sired by True Briton, a horse widely respected for his excellence and known as a sire of quality horses. Figure’s dam, was “…of the Wild-air breed, of middling size, with a heavy chest, of a light bay color, with a bushy mane and tail – the hair on the legs rather long, and a smooth, handsome traveler.” Her sire was Diamond; a son of Church’s Wildair by Wildair (Delancey’s) out of a mare owned by Samuel Burt named Wildair. As Figure grew, his compact muscular body and stylish way of moving impressed many of the pioneer farmers and settlers. Soon tales of his beauty, strength, speed, hardiness, endurance, and gentle disposition spread amidst the small New England towns. His ability to outwalk, outtrot, outrun, and outpull other horses were legendary. His stud services were offered throughout the Connecticut River Valley and various Vermont locations over his lifetime. His most valuable asset, however, was the ability to pass on his distinguishing characteristics, not only to his offspring but also through several generations.

After Justin Morgan’s death, Figure moved on to other owners and spent a life working on farms, hauling freight, and as a parade mount at militia trainings. In the practice of the day, he became known by his former owner’s name, the Justin Morgan horse. He spent his life working and died in 1821 from an untreated kick received from another horse. His three most famous sons – Sherman, Bulrush, and Woodbury – would carry on his legacy to future generations of Morgan horses.

Ever hear the expression paybacks a motherfucker?

I would like to request a phrase [too hot to trot]. Love your style!

[Wetbacks]

The phrase I would like to request is just [hot to trot].

Ah yeah!

I was a Celt in at least one of my past lifetimes!

sorry – I clicked the wrong reply button LOL

Interesting video Marina, I often wondered if the Kentucky Derby based on the Epsom Derby. That must be so of the Australian Derby. Isn’t there also a Russian Derby held in Moscow?

Good job the 12th Earl named it after his peerage name rather than his birth name. The Smith-Stanley races jus’ don’t ring sexy in the ear.

I probably will not. Unless I catch the actually race. The show beforehand is very boring.

What’s (((((((((shakin’))))))))) LA only a 4.4

No I will not. Do the word [slut] Please. :cool:

That’s easy: “a slut” is Tulsa spelled backwards.

nice outfit! word request [rape]

Hi Marina…Beautiful as ever. How about the word [swine]? As in Swine Flu. I won’t be watching the “Derby”…I’ll be at work…watching your videos you e-mail me…Thank you very much :grin: :grin: :grin:

neigh :mrgreen:

Hi originalistrick,
I’ve sent some emails, but have not heard back yet.

The reason for the missing photo is that the Anonymous person that posted the photo used photos from a blog on Wired.com. It looks like they are doing come cleanup of their blogs, hence the missing photo. All of the other photos are stored on various other server.

I’ll let you know as soon as I hear back from them.

One of Sean Connery’s early films. I didn’t care about that film as a child, I thought it was dull and depressing. You know Sean Connery made a cameo appearance at the end of the movie Time Bandits, where actual little people were cast. He played the fireman who put out the fire, and left that kid after he immediately became an orphan. I didn’t understand that movie either, that also crept me out when I was a kid. :razz:

hello miss marina ^__^

I would like to request the word(s)[Deep Penetration]

tnx

I don’t care for horse races, even when I was stationed in Kentucky a decade ago. They even got Prairie Meadows on commercials here in Iowa, that I don’t care to watch.

[mojados] :smile:

I never noticed how lopsided the darkened areas in your gravatar. But you’re not wearing sunglasses are you?

        1) Very good lesson etymologygirl! But wait! Isn’t it dictionarygirl who is “all about cleav*ge”? Aarrrgh! This is like those movies with twin sisters of divorced parents with one sister living with one parent; the twins want to bring their parents back together and so switch places. So here we have etymologygirl dressed up like dictionarygirl — it’s all very confusing!

        2) HW: No. Have been to one or two races, but they are really very boring!

hello there my dearest teacher; how are you i am fine , you are finer than frog hair…ha–ha word request [superstitious]

Howdy, PK. Appreciate the response. I hope I’m not aggravating anyone bringing this up the way I have. But as I said on Jump, it matters to me mostly because it seems it could benefit Marina financially and likewise contribute to growing HFW should she win again. More notoriety for her to attract advertisers, and another source of new viewers. I’ll be quiet about it now-I know it’s in good hands with you.

Sorry I won’t I’ll be working ALL day. I, however, prefer to watch NASCAR instead.

[HITCHHIKER]

Thanks, Marina.

Yes, I will watch the Kentucky Derby today. I just wish Dave Johnson was calling (giving play-by-play of) the race instead of Tom Durkin, but oh well.

lmao! your funny :roll:

Thank you very much for your response originalistrick.

No, you are not aggravating anyone. In fact it shows your concern for Marina and by the way, I like all of your comments as it shows you have much respect for Marina as I do. So, I appreciate you bringing this up.

I just sent off another more detailed email to Wired.com explaining the situation. I will keep you informed.

Sometimes emails get routed to the wrong person and they just sit there with no action. I’ve submitted several emails with different objectives, so hopefully it gets to the right person.

Best horse race film is “Let It Ride”.
Best derby is the Kerwood Derby.
And here’s the story of the Kerwood Derby…although
no mention is made of Durwood Kirby and how pissed he got.

        3) Well designed dress top, Marina.

        4) If one considers the jump lesson and this lesson, one might be able to argue that Marina’s right lock of hair has some intelligence!

        5) This lesson has this remark: “12th Earl of Derby was married but was more interested in staying away from his wife and so he took up an interest in horses; … interesting choice.” Turns out the horse race he came up with was for colts (under 4 year old male horses). Why is that choice interesting?

        What I find really weird is that he (Edward Smith-Stanley, 12th Earl of Derby appears to have a camel-toe (in contrast, his father-in-law (James Hamilton, 6th Duke of Hamilton) looks normal. But a camel-toe could explain a dis-interest in his wife and an interest in colts! Was he a castrati? About 17 years later, he married an actress who supposedly had his children (both of his wifes were named Elizabeth).

Good Night

Marina, I will definitely be watching. I’ve never been though. I would definitely attend if you would be there. Maybe next year?

oh did mention Marina looks very attractive with that hair due? mmmmmmmmmmmm! Here’s a word request for the dressy brains… [Vatican]

[colonialist] or [Pilgrims] thank you… [Beso]

No, I won’t be watching the race. However, I do like to watch the YouTube clips later to see the wrecks with the parts flying all over the place.

(OK, who’s first?)

Also, well designed Marina top in the dress. :mrgreen:

Did you notice the wizard’s magic words to transform the ruler back into the prince?

Today’s puzzle: What famous person was the actor playing the wizard imitating?

Nope, I will not be watching the horse race.

Especially if she goes by the name of Lady Godiva! :mrgreen:

But they are horses of a different collar. :smile:

The hairstyle emphasizes the forehead with the temples only somewhat visible; unlike http://twitpic.com/3gmao , in this video the vertical strands of hair at the sides/temples form an abrupt transition that frames the face vertically. The vertical framing diminish the V-ness of the chin-line (seen here http://twitpic.com/38zsz ). Other hairstyles that have hair falling on the sides (such as http://twitpic.com/25b59 or http://twitpic.com/2n4k4 ) retain the display of the V-ness of the chin line because these hairstyles have an inverted V at the top (this video’s hairstyle has a horizontal line at the top).

No, no, Who is on second, What is on first. :grin:

30 min count down for the day of defeat for Hatton; looking forward to a great fight! Pacquiao!!!!! :razz:

HAPPY RUSSIAN LABOR DAY TOO YOU RUSSIANS FINEST!!! GIVE YOURSELF A DAY OFF…. :idea: :oops: :smile:

Derogatory term for Mexicans who swam Rio Grande to get into this fine country.

So do I and they where definately “Claratin Clear” last week. :roll:

“Let It Ride”. Richard Dreyfuss, right? That is a good movie I always liked that song,’ I’ve got the horse right here/his name is Paul Revere…’ but I’ve never heard it before or since :sad:

Goodnight, John.

I might watch the derby that day plus there’s plenty of action for me to watch tomorrow. The bulls-Celtics has been history making but I would love to see the bulls to pull a stunning upset that night as well as hoping the blackhawks to make it a 1-1 series knot vs. the canucks. I’m looking forward to go to Wrigley Field this Sunday.

 
Loved the two rings on your fingers Marina.
I like the ring on your left hand.
It looks like the stones are either Sapphire, Garnet or possibly Ruby or maybe Emerald?

Who are you calling a shanker? Oh! Sorry, my mistake. :grin:

:smile: idea: :oops: What is your choice of labor?…party boss…ward chairman…tax collector or the the guy giving out others milk :lol:

I’d watch NASCAR if it was all that was left, but F1GP is right for me. At least they turn both ways.

One last thought before I go. As the late, great Jeff Cooper said, today we live in “The Age Of The Wimp.”

See ya’ll later.

Right. That was back when they made music for the shear joy of it and, I tell ya its true; the bands were good. I guess we’re all waiting around for the next Nirvana or G&R. Rock -n- Roll is definately in a down cycle. That song isn’t rock but….

Hey!! I’ve got people in Tulsa and MOST of them are not sluts :roll: :lol:

Whatever happened to him? It seems like he hasn’t done anything since ‘Red October’?

Reminds me of a story:

We were contemplating a move for a transfer in the hills of SE Kentucky. We looked at alot of apartments but wanted a house. Sitting at the local diner, we told the waitress are plight and she knew of a little place. We went and looked and liked it untill we got to the kitchen. Thats when we saw that the refrigerator had a bullet hole, dead center. I mean, they didn’t even try to paint it or anything. Even with my limited experience of worldly affairs I realized this was not good! We didn’t leave skidmarks(that would be rude), but we did leave in a hurry :!: :grin:

Really! Look what happened at Wrigley when the groundskeeper picked the cat up by the tail. People were going ballistic

What happened to the evil twin sitting in the kitchen? Looks like she lost a lot of stamina? :roll:

One interesting fact about the Kentucky Derby is that the only horse to have been disqualified after winning it and being drug-tested is Dancer’s Image (1965-1992).

“A man of action forced into a state of thought is unhappy untill he can get out of it.”
– Franz Kafka (1883-1924)

Dear Teacher,

I would like to request the word [isotope].

Thank you for all your efforts.

As opposed to the “good ol’ days,” when men rode off to battle, getting body parts whacked off or killed, leaving mommy and the kids to fend for themselves. Yes, those were the days…

Every time someone goes on about the romantic past, I just trot out “dentistry without novacaine.” That does it for me. :shock:

My cat wants to be the gel pad. She likes to lie between me and the keyboard. Unfortunately the office was closed, so she is back at my shop like previously, and since I am taking care of my mom on the night shift for at least a few months, I do all my surfing there, far away from the shop.

That’s strange. M has said in the past (when else would she say it?) that she does not like to wear rings. Maybe it’s just part of the day’s costume.

The phrase is “I’m so hungry I could eat whores.” :oops:

What’s with the eye roll? :lol:

This reminds me of the huge water tank just north of Stockton on the west side of I-5 (38°02’39.60″N & 121°22’09.30W”). The city fathers had painted, “Stockton, someplace special.” on it, tooting their own horn. Some wag had climbed over the chain link fencing and painted a large question mark at the end, which of course provided endless joy to the thousands of motorists that passed by every day. There’s a different slogon on their now, so I think the city found it to be just too juicy of a target to leave up.

Please furnish names and phone numbers of those who are. :mrgreen:

Dear Teacher,
this is for being such a good teacher.

I don’t know which is worse. At least you can cook the horse, I guess :oops: :lol:

What does that say about Cooper if he is no longer with us :twisted:

There are two tracks in NASCAR that they turn both ways
1. Watkins Glen International in Watkins Glen, NY
2. Infineon Raceway in Sonoma, CA

Post pictures of your new kitties, I love kittens, I love cats.
I especially love multicolor animals, painted ponies, calico cats…..

He’s right. I didn’t start thinking until after I was dead.

Dear teacher.
You’re human inheritance to generation to follow.
In etymology of word “Jump” you used the term “onomatopoetic”.
I’d to request this word.

(It’s a combination of 2 Greek words)
Bye from Sparta, Greece :razz:

Hey, BV

I want you to know I really enjoyed the poem you wrote about your grandma. Thanks for the insight. Sorry, it’s off-topic, I know. But just the same, NICE WORK. Keep it up.

And include a price list!

That’s what fridge magnets are for. :smile:

Illegal aliens whether from Mexico or elsewhere.

Thank You

What? To deflect the bullets? :grin:

or I am so hungry I could eat the ass end out of a rag doll or I am so hungry I could eat the north end of a south bound donkey. :lol:

Hey M, another great show, five starts or more if I could rate that high. I probably want watch the Derby, but will be watching Nascar. Beautiful picture of you that you put on Twitter about want a date. Just gorgeous. :smile:

Oh J gee! Look a’ Dat!! Someone’s drifting like crazy!! :shock:

No, I will not. Not to ruin it for you, but I [bet] the fastest horse wins this time—unless they add the [Gladiator]-round.

And my guess on Mr. HotStuff? He is ‘Whosoever Our Lady Should Bless with Her Undescribable … umm …’ :mrgreen:

yeah, [onomatop...whatever] :lol:

Kentuky derby rules!!!! i will watch it for sure!! [shoeplay] :grin:

Good question about James. He last signed into YouTube four DAYS ago. His mum and dad must have dragged him off on vacation to Scotland or something.

Marina, you haven’t seen him in Lochaber, have you? :razz:

Mine That Bird in 2:02. I forgot how thrilling it is. Still “the best 2 minutes in sports”

I would like to request the word [amateur].

Did anybody notice what number I have as the horse in my thumbnail? A $2 bet paid $184.90 :-)

WOW!! Did you put $2 on it? :shock: :grin:

People need to pay more attention to you! :cool:

I would like to request the word [fuck]. I not looking for the current meaning so much as i am looking for the origins and the original meaning.

You have brought philology to life. It is a favorite subject. I see that I am not alone. Hope your back feels better. Would you investigate the origin of
[ jag - off ] for us please and thank you.

I can tell you where the middle digit sign came from and I think the word is related. Ready! OK:

In the middle ages, the english were such good archers that the french king decreed that any englishman caught(by law, you had to have a bow as tall as you in england and EVERY englishmen was an archer) would lose 3 fingers. Thereafter, the english, after ruining the frenchs day yet again in battle, would raise 2 fingers in a kind of reverse peace sign to show that they could still pull a bow. The english still use this sign and it still pretty much means the same thing. I have heard that the word “fuck” is old english for finger or some such nonsense but I can’t stand on it. :grin:

I don’t know, but the fellows usually think its someone who writes in a request for a saying such as this one. :twisted: This pretty lady doesn’t want that nonsense on here. But I’ve been wrong before :oops:

excellent request. I second [amateur].

A case of synchronicity, perhaps?

No, but it helps with getting your deposit back from the landlord when the holes don’t show quite as readily. Or, you can insert a long straw through the hole and into a conveniently-placed bucket of stout. Burp. Oh, did I say that out loud? ‘Scuse me.

Hi Marina,

I’ve always been curious about the phrase [in a nutshell]

Like, ‘give it to me in a nutshell’ in other words summarise, what does a nutshell have to do with summarising?

I hope you decide to investigate,

Thanks alot,
Raffo

Reminds me when I was a wee lad and the old man had a refrigerator with a tap coming out the side, oxygen tank, the whole shebang. A 1/4 barrel fit perfectly and I can still remember riding down to the brewery to make the exchange. I think it only cost like 8 bucks! Lotta good times with that tap… :cry:

I think someone tried to reply too this comment but they are unable to use my name, guess not.

I would love to see someone who purchased a winning ticket, especially on your “advice”, Marina. :smile:

Hi Marina!

I would like to know the origin of the word [payola].

As a musician, singer/songwriter, it seems as though that is the only way to get your music into the mainstream.
Not all, but there is a lot of music out there that leaves me scratching my head and asking the question, “How?”

Thank you, and have a great weekend!

The thought of what number horse you used did occur to me in the passing (at least once for sure, maybe on two occasions) — but it was over whelmed by my concentration on registering/processing you and your words. It took a lot of attention and work to write comments 48, 54, and 59.

Hi there!!!!!
I want to make us a course about [where english come from]
Like a history for the root of english language :!: :!: :!:

PS: In other words, I am NOT the 12th Earl of Derby!

I’ve heard that explanation about the alleged bowman’s salute before, but there is no official record of it. A bit of a shame because it a good story. The v-sign (f-sign?) replaced the older cock-a-snook gesture in the early 1900. There is a French reference to the sign, but overall, its origin is still vague.

Me too, but apparently I only have one identity (in this cyber-reality)!

Never assume the obvious is true.

Origin (& rebuttal) of the world’s most versatile word

I’ve been intrigued by that.

Eowyn’s lament is in Olde English (Lord of the Rings -Ext DVD).

Here’s an example

Another example

Old English Dictionary

The eye roll? Uh…well…uh….nuthin’ that couldn’t be applied to so many towns in the U.S. of A., in that they are so young, relatively speaking, that they really have little to differential themselves from all the rest who are in the same boat, being built of, predominantly, isolating post WWII architecture. Acknowledged that a tourist passing through would have a shallow concept of a place compared to that of a local yokel. So when the magic spell is Sacramento California, it was mild humor.

Sweat, hard work and, mst importantly; being at the right place at the right time! :twisted:

I do wonder why you so much trash on the radio when there are people like this guy out there!

Wow, man; that IS deep. You sure we ain’t on the 420 page? :wink:

PPS: I’m proud of the fact that I dismissed the thoughts about which particular horses (number/color) you showed at various places in this video.

That’s what this Website is, except it is spread out over the rest of your (or Marina’s) life.

 
I just fell out of my chair laughing my rear end off
as I read one of Marina’s replies on the above video
on the YouTube page. She said, “I agree”
Marina always surprises me. That was soooo funny.

Yes, I agree that’s part of it, but not all of it. And I did preface my statement with:
“Not all…”.

Also thanks for the link to Ricky Veeneman. That guy jams!

I know. I was so worried about getting my mans link out there correctly, I don’t know what I wrote :!: :roll:

This will get you laughing even more [gelding]

[gelding] Oh neuroway gee! Look a’ Dat!!

I’ve seen it too! That was a nice one XD

He’s done plenty of other films after Red October (such as Rising Sun, The Rock, and Entrapment). He just retired from the acting industry a few years ago.

Hi, jus happen to see your video on youtube today. You really has alot of knowledge on english words.

Where does the word “jazz” come from?

no offence anyone :mrgreen: [fuck] :mrgreen: hahahah :grin:

No. You are not what you read or what you hear.

You are what you are. You are the stuff you’re made of. And nothing else. That’s it. That’s the end of it. And what you are is no one else business except yours, unless you decide it is going to be otherwise.

English is what happened when Angles, Saxons, Danes, Vikings, and Norman French invaded Britain, kicked the Welsh out of what’s now England, and then tried to understand each other. It’s a real [hodge-podge].

Here’s a start:

Immigrant Threads in the Fabric of English :cool:

Congratulations Marina! Mr. Hot Stuff — c’est moi.

The English word ‘Welsh’ originates from the word wælisc, the Anglo-Saxon form of walhiska-, the Germanic word for “foreign”.

Taking the truth out of context is fun!

That said…

On behalf of the hodgepodge (partial Norman-Viking ingredient here, though you’d never guess), we apologise to the “foreign”, Celts, Cornish and the odd Ghouls (Gauls?) etc etc etc. :wink:

I won’t apologise to the Gaelic / Scots however, because of their infiltration into the government & maintaining their own parliament. Not to mention one gratuitously made me eat a rather vicious looking haggis.

Bloodless invasions are the most insidious!

i love this word and wud love if u wud do it. [cattywampus] :mrgreen:

Address tae the haggis :grin:

More re Welsh: The Welsh call themselves the Cymry, from old British Combrogos, “fellow-countrymen.” The Anglo-Saxon wælisc derives ultimately from the name of the nearest foreigners to the Anglo-Saxons on the Continent, the Gauls. Since the Gauls of what is now France were very close ethnically / linguistically to the Welsh, it was only natural that the Anglo-Saxons would refer to the Welsh by the same name as their Gaulish cousins.

The Welsh (chiefly in poetry and song) occasionally refer to their country as “Gwalia.” :cool:

I’m subbed at both my Y/T accounts. Damn-it Karl I’m still blocked at the sexygeekvote thing. They must think I’m a BOT.
I noticed the gap has started to close again tho.

Interesting quote from Bertrand Russell…
Like to request [M&M]

I agree, The English language is melting pot language that evolved after each successive invasion; probably all languages are.

It is possible to express foreign words in old English /Anglo-Saxon. For instance, the word “Computer” breaks down into “count” or “reckon”. Com- is a prefix intensifier. Then use an Old English dictionary to derive the equivalent word for Computer. The constituent words for computer are far clearer.

I would like to request the word [Lord]. It is a primitive little word with a facinating history. My vague recollection of its phylogeny has it beggining in the old english with “hlaf ward”, which means, “bread winner”, as in the man who brings the food to the table. It rhymes with the old english words for “staff of life” (which I cannot recall); so goes the phrase “bread is the staff of life”. It became, “Lafford” in middle english, I believe, then slurred to “lovored” in the Elizabethan period (a la Shakespeare) and “laerd” in the present english. But I may be all wet, because I am highly infected with Swine flue and various other opportunistic vectors (for which I am being rigorously treated by a team of nurses at this very moment).

The Tanzengeist

Hi Billy,
Several others and I have also noticed that and earlier this week I sent off several emails to Wired.com. I sent another email the other day to a different dept regarding the missing photo. If I don’t hear back by Tuesday, I may escalate with a phone call.

The 2007 voting is also messed up. It looks like they did some tweaks on their site and either no one has figured out what to do or they are under staffed.

I’ll let you and the others know when I hear back from them.

The [ bane ] of my existence. ty maam. oops i was trying to send a word not comment to the post i think u rok. :)

That haggis moved! :shock:

Perhaps English will be like the common-tongue in LotRs, it can’t be Gwalian because you guys can’t think up a short toponym for a location where “Saint Mary’s Church in the hollow of the white hazel near a rapid whirlpool and the Church of St. Tysilio of the red cave” sits. :roll:

Number Eight (å…«; accounting 捌; pinyin bā) is considered a lucky number in Chinese culture because it sounds like the word “prosper” or “wealth” (發(T) 发(S); Pinyin: fā). China took advantage of this by beginning the opening ceremony of the Summer Olympics in Beijing at 8 seconds and 8 minutes past 8 pm (local time) on August 8, 2008.[3]

Eight (å…« ,hachi, ya?) is also considered a lucky number in Japanese culture, but the reason is different from that in Chinese culture. Eight gives an idea of growing prosperous, because the letter (å…«) broadens gradually.

Why yes that would be #69 the American thoroughbred horse “Donerail” who in 1913 got a going off at 91-1, Donerail provided a $184.90 payoff for a $2 bet, the largest standing long shot so far in Derby history :wink:

I have two. :smile:

Most nut shells are quite small, so to give it “in a nut shell” would require the speaker to use as few words as possible, so they (or the paper they were written on would fit into a nut shell.
Now that we have Twitter, a modern equivalent could be, “give it to me in a tweet.”
Maybe there’s an opportunity for someone to start a service in competition with Twitter, and call it “Nutshell”.

 
Welcome back Evan,
I see you got your password back. :lol: Couldn’t stay away, could you?

I never realised that Oyvind Eowyn (Red Dragon) was a character in The Lord of the Rings. :lol:

You must be having a hlaf, especially with all those nurses around you.
Give my regards to the staph. :lol:

The word “derby” is also used in England to describe a game between two teams (normally soccer) that are near each other, geographically — or are cross-town rivals. Refer to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_derby

Good day

Don’t watch very many sporting events here latey. :neutral: Might check it out if I’m not doing anything else, but only 5-10 minutes at a time (as usual). I’m more of a YouTube/ movie/ reading type. That’s all… :cool:

Is there any Lord of the Rings fans about? The Hunt for Gollum, is a 40 min fan made indie film, which is supposed to be of exceptional quality.

RE: Cosmetic Neurology

I take concerta… super strength ritalin… it sucks… but I have noticed something very strange happens to me psychially when I dont take it.

Good luck with the swine flu thing. According to the media, we’re all goners anyway :!: :sad:

Forgot to say, its free too :oops:

Good News: :grin: My horse WON!!!!

Bad News: :evil: I didn’t bet on him :!: :cry:

That does suck. At 50-1, you could have put a finster on him and paid the rent.

the landlady say,” you got the rent money yet?!”

Speaking of Celtics, did they win last night?

:cry: :sad: :cry: :!:

Do you guys like the new random gravatars? Or were the monster ones better?

They were too gloomy. Back to the monster ones.. they appear to be having more fun!

????? What changed? :???:

You reading my mind, you posted this two minutes before my last comment.

Your last line makes no sense at all.

I told you yesterday that I am not what I read or what I hear. It means I don’t go where I’m told to, but I go where I want to.

You are not the one who decides who I am, what I do or how I feel. You can’t understand that, can you, eh, friendo? Can’t you see? Can’t you hear?

I am what I write. I am what I say. I am what I think. And if I am what I write and what I say, I can’t be what I read or what I hear, since those are two very different things. You can’t follow the logic in what I’m saying, can you?

Evolution, sometimes, leads to odd things. Anyways. It is Sunday, and I have other stuff to do than talk to you.

<<< I prefer this monster :oops:

Dear Marina,

I posted this to see what the new gravatars were like, but I was too late. (You’re still gorgeous, BTW.)

Can Cold Water Clean Dishes?

This is for all the germ conscious folks
that worry about using cold water to clean.

John went to visit his 90 year old grandfather
in a very secluded, rural area of Saskatchewan .. After spending a great evening chatting the night away,
the next morning John’s grandfather prepared
breakfast of bacon, eggs and toast. However, John noticed a film like substance on his plate,
and questioned his grandfather asking,

‘Are these plates clean?’

His grandfather replied,

‘They’re as clean as cold water can get em.
Just you go ahead and finish your meal, Sonny!’
For lunch the old man made hamburgers. Again, John was concerned about the plates,
as his appeared to have tiny specks around
the edge that looked like dried egg and asked,

‘Are you sure these plates are clean?’

Without looking up the old man said,

‘I told you before, Sonny, those dishes are as
clean as cold water can get them. Now don’t you
fret, I don’t want to hear another word about it!’
Later that afternoon, John was on his way to a nearby town
and as he was leaving, his grandfather’s dog
started to growl, and wouldn’t let him pass. John yelled and said,
‘Grandfather, your dog won’t let me get to my car’.
Without diverting his attention from the football game
he was watching on TV, the old man shouted!

‘Coldwater, go lay down now, yah hear me!’ :mrgreen: :lol:

:lol:

I like the random better…even [though] :smile: , I had wondered something in the back of my thought(brAIn) :razz: …they all looked monstrous and had monstrance of monstrosity…{could you make a [POSTER]—(electric)..montage :-) [monstrous] montage}? :cool: :evil: :mrgreen: :evil: :cool: Its all in the colors :smile: :=)(=:

Marina, why is a PC input device with 1 or more buttons called a [mouse]?
It doesn’t look like one, it doesn’t squeak like one, and mice don’t have wheels, scrolls, or a giant optical orifice! :D

yes, I watched the Drby and no, my horse didn’t win. :-(

I say make one up for “coldshower”…funny..’71…clean as goose-bumps and a [code-shower] :wink: :???: :smile:

Oh, No!
Bad Coldwater! :-)

PS: Among football, March Madness, and Horse Racing, horse racing seems to have attracted the most viewership and new subscribers. Or did the subscribers come from the tweet about the race to 200K? Also, I suspect even more views and new subscribers than O’Reilly?

Need to come up with some good way to induce O’Reilly viewers to get YouTube accounts and to subscribe. Since O’Reilly is on YouTube, is he interested in having his audience being subscribed to him on YouTube — or does he only care about live TV audience? How does O’Reilly view/treat/consider his own presence on YouTube — what does he hope to achieve by being there?

Well, I just read it is the closet thing to cocaine there is!!! Hmm, perhaps I should just take cocaine! I confronted mother about this. I got the usual shit ” if you live here you take your tablets” I stood my ground and said… fine then you can chuck me out! I am not going to take sommething that fucks me up. I know its messed with me because I was always the shortest in the class until about 1-2 years ago. Fuck it. I will come off it slowly (btw the psychical thing was… urm… well… OK when I don’t take them, I have an erection all day :oops: :razz: Good for ladies, not so good for me) people have always told me it was wrong… Everyone, that is everone that doesn’t know my mum, and besides, a hyper me is who I am… If people can’t accept that, they all know where to go.

And

Take Your love of money with you when you go.

Hi, Marina! I would like to know the sense of [Mankind]

Nothing to be ashamed of, James. I have taken prescription pain pills(codeine based) for various injuries,aches and pains over the years and find that I have a, ugh, sensation very similar to yours when the script runs out. That, and my legs CANNOT stay still. ‘Shaking Leg Syndrome’, maybe? This just happens when I’m trying to sleep, so I take a HOT shower for a half hour or so and straight to bed. I’ve taken 5 showers a night before and it sucks :sad: . I’m pretty hyper,too; so maybe that has something to do with it. Evidently, codeine based drugs are a a real mother scratcher to get off of. Could be the reason why if you get a Lortab scrip all of a sudden your friends multiply exponentially! :shock: :mrgreen:

Also, I know a child who takes Concerta and if they don’t take it in the afternoon they are bouncing off of the walls. I guess any negative effects are outweighed by the positive. Tough Decision :neutral:

I would rather be myself than take a load of shit that fucks my brain chemicals around. Also I only seems to get irratatable around my mother…

@ Neuroway

You are what you are. You are the stuff you’re made of. And nothing else. That’s it. That’s the end of it. And what you are is no one else business except yours, unless you decide it is going to be otherwise.

Very well put. I’m gonna use it!

[fuck] hmmm

how about

[change the record] ? :grin:

Oh yes, probably a Urulokë (Fire-drake). :lol:

A good laugh. I sent this to my sister as I am sure she is missing her Minnie, which I am dogsitting for two weeks while they are on a Mediterranean cruise.

PS: I do wash the plates after she has licked them clean.

I agree 100%, but what about the afflictions that you take the chemical for in the first place. Medically, its not good and there is also your comfort level to think of. I mean, you can’t walk around all day like that! What if you had to dive to the ground, or you ran into a wall or countless other horrors that could befall you?! :shock: :roll:

I have a word request… “smattering”
:grin:

PPS: could be that this lesson is attracting the attention not of those interested in horse racing as such but those interested in gambling in general.

[smattering]

@beevee14

Yeah, sure. Be my guest. Just correct it before you use it. It’s “no one else’s business” and not “no one else business”. Typo.

You are what you type. You are what you say. And even if you don’t type or say anything, your actions, your reactions and your creations speak for yourself. :cool:

[jazz]

[scuttlebutt] is another word that’s fun….

Hey Marina ;-)
I would like to know the origin of the word [freemartin].
Just read it in my English lessons in “Brave New World” by A. Huxley

J, oh J. This is not an answer. This is pure pavlovian conditioned cabotinage in action. You sound like you’ve been educated in Harvard.. erm.. I mean, in a bootcamp, dude.

You assumption that I love money is a truly unverifiable premise. But you even take it further away by telling me to take it with me when I go!!!

Dude, I’m just somehow thinkin’ somethin’ here. If I love money, then I have just decided right here right now to leave it behind when I go. And if I don’t love money, then I have just decided to take it with me if I decide to stay. How does that sound, eh?

This is of course a temporary measure, a quick fix. I could very well decide to change my mind later on if it suits me well, or on a mere feeling or if I feel annoyed or bored for some reason, or just for fun, for a good laugh or for the sake of it. Which is of course nothing you can control, oh J, my talkative amigo.

You must be a lot of fun in a crowded subway. :cool:

“True that”

 
The Derby video above looks like it has broken all kinds of records in terms of views, being represented on the front page of YouTube, subscriptions and so on. This video is about to take over another record breaker, the “sexting” video, maybe within the next day.

Currently, the Derby video is at #4 on the Popular board, but it has been as high as #2.

For those who aren’t graphic phobic, I added some graphs to the
“celebs-not-following-everyone…” discussion on the Forum. :grin:

 
Oh yeah, I got sidetracked and forgot to add the real link.
“celebs-not-following-everyone…”

You can put a midgets eye out with that thing, you know :!: :twisted: :mrgreen:

sorry :oops:

hahah i thought it was named ”putin” hahah, and :mrgreen: yeah!!! [metal] \m/ h :mrgreen:

It does sound like a wonderful idea, does it not?

I was camping all weekend, and did not see the race.

Thank you for the lesson. :smile:

:mrgreen: This was a good one!! I follow you on twitter but do you follow me? Just wondering?

Marina, I just realised, nobody would have been able to see the new gravatars for a while anyway. Our browsers cache needs to expire first (or cleared manually). The gravatar site has more info on this.

I only thought to sign up with my other e mail accounts after reading Marinas request in twitter for more subscribers! I hope multiple account subscriptions are ok, not cheating in any way. Shan’t be using them for HFWs’ only my original. Interesting to think that a post on twitter prompted me to do this even though every lesson and web pages request this!

Thinking, a freebie prize for every 50k or so subscriber to join as an incentive, maybe :grin:

Kewl matalexwolf,
I’m glad that you saw that Tweet.
Incentives are good :grin:
Thank you for the subscription
and it should be over 200,000 in the next few days.

Comments like this are why I get such a kick out of posting comments like mine.

That he died peacefully in his home of natural causes well into his 80′s?

It’s true. Some British are known to wear odd hats. I just got back from the UK after visiting with a friend there who was wearing a tea cozy on his head! Or maybe it was just a cap…

Peace, Errin : )

Homework: I guess I missed it… :neutral: Humm that reminds me. When I was younger I was asked twice to become a Jockey at a small track in Eastern Washington. I wasn’t really interested for my Dad had horses in the past and I really didn’t care. I was more into auto racing I guess.

With the Preakness coming up, do you think it would be prudent to bet on Marina’s horse (#8) again?

WOW COOL

I think the horse video in background (the one in black and white) is the first movie ever
