    That is sooooo funny. I just had a Carl’s 6 dollar mushroom burger yesterday, but I like watching you eat your burger sooo much better. :-)

    p.s. Homework – Sloppy, fast and with lots of onions. Extra credit – Best burgers? I like Miss Anne’s Snack Shop in Atlanta and the original Tommy’s Burger on Hollywood Blvd in LA.

    When ads involve food, the food used is not edible — for example, it might be coated with “plastic” to make it show up better in the video; or milk might be replaced by heavy cream etc. Was the burger in this video the real thing or a made-for-ad thing?

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

    That’s 19g (.64 oz) of saturated fat, take a shot glass and fill it up 5/8 full with fat, now drink it. But you’re really drinking almost two shot glasses of fat to get that 19g. *puke*

  • beevee14

    Two things:
    1) The two seconds of 1:09 to 1:10 are no doubt the two most sensual seconds ever commited to film and will be repeated over and over by EVERYONE who checks out HFW, regardless of gender or sexual orientation! :!: :twisted: I’ve never wanted to be a hamburger before :twisted:

    2) Because of #1, it took awhile for me to catch; but you never do give the REAL origin. Is it narrowed down to the examples you gave? Oh well, it was still a good lesson(especially 1:08-1:20; that should be on a loop!)

    Homework: I grill about five times a week in the summer. I’ve got a Weber Kettle and that is all you need because you can also smoke with it. I prepare my own hamburger meat with seasonings so I just throw some cheese on there. But I have dabbled in the bacon, swiss, onion and mushroom and combinations of all of them.

    Have you ever had “mountain oysters”? A Story:
    My neighbor and I had to make 12 bull calves into steers. A tricky process! We got them in the gates and started running them through the head catcher. I would take their tale and pull it straight up along there spine while he would get the stool and go to work! A few climbed back up in there(we got them out) and he only got shit on once but, in the end; we had 24 oysters. I took them home, my wife cleaned and deep fried them in seasoned flour. They were delicious! :shock: Very tender (they were young) and just a little bit gamier than chicken! You just had to dismiss from your mind what it was.
    I wouldn’t know about a full grown bull who already had the, ugh, reproductive capabilities. I think that would give it a little different flavor! :roll:

  • pinorivera

    I would like to request the word [thug].

    Translating that nutritional info into % of GDA (guideline daily amount) and “traffic lights” (the Food Standards Agency’s preferred nutritional labelling scheme):

    Calories: 43% (GDA 2000 calories)
    Fat: 76% (GDA 70g / Red)
    Sat fat: 94% (GDA 20g / Red)
    Sugars: 10% (GDA 90g / Green)
    Salt: 75% (salt ~ sodium * 2.6, GDA 6g / Red)

    Definitely NOT suitable for those on a calorie controlled diet, and I’d have to agree with Che that it’s probably not a very good idea to eat one of these more than a couple of times a month. At most. Oh, and if you do, stay away from the scales for a few days…

    Great lesson! And the clarity you produce in your background is brilliant.
    Dirty’s and Top Notch are great here in Austin. But mine on the grill ain”t too bad. Got to add avacado slices or guacamole, and jalapenos to make it right.

    You’re so cool!

  • seesixcm6

    Dear Marina,
    Well, you look far better than Paris Hilton when she did a TV ad for Carl’s Jr. a few years ago. You would be wonderful in a TV commercial for them. Their sales would skyrocket if you did a Carl’s Jr. TV commercial, because you have so many subscribers. I’d go to a Carl’s Jr. in Daly City because it was close to where I worked. :smile:
    I thought the mushrooms were called Portobello because they were do big and beautiful. “Portobello” means “beautiful door” in Italian. These mushrooms are very tasty and I cook with them, sometimes. :grin:
    Well, tomorrow night the NBA championship series start with the Orlando Magic at the Staples Center against the LA Lakers. It will be crowded, noisy and exciting. Many famous celebrities will be there. The Laker Girls will dance their beautiful routines, and the finest basketball players in the world will compete for the biggest and best championship in basketball. I hope you enjoy the game! :razz:

    Very nice production values and editing. Tell CC you’ve got bandwidth problems slowing down video delivery (all afternoon 6/3/9, at least into Wyoming via Qwest). Maybe it’s time for new server/network connections. From what I read about him, CC’s revenue is up and he can afford to upgrade HotForWords’ bandwidth.

    Well, since you are doing a Carls, Jr. commercial, the least you could do is dribble the sauce down your chest. Imagine a closeup showing the sauce s-l-o-w-l-y flowing down Happy Hollow. Mmmmm.

    I had a $6 portobello burger yesterday, but I wish I had seen this commercial first so that I could have slobbered more. :mrgreen:

    It’s Sadie Hawkin’s Day, not Dace. This was an imaginary holiday in Al Capp’s Lil Abner newspaper cartoon. On that day, women could pick their men (vs. the other way around). (I don’t know exactly what they did with them after they picked them, because, back when the cartoon was running, they couldn’t get too graphic.) Basically, as far as the genders were concerned, the tables were turned.

    Agreed. I love cooked onions, but raw on a burger overwhelm everything else. Now, having said that, I eat mine with jalapenos. Raw, pickled, or whatever. Comes down to subjective taste, I reckon.

    Surprisingly, they didn’t buck as much as I thought they would. I had their tale broke over their back and we had a leg bar so we weren’t to worried about kicking. A few did, or tried to, but I thought they would be bitching more. We were pulling them out about six inches before we cut them and that was only if they didn’t tear off! :shock: I could feel it in MY stomach! we would let them out of the catcher and they would stumble a bit, but they were all running around like nothing happened in a couple of days. They didn’t even act like they were mad at us! :mrgreen:

    Lots of wild mushrooms grow on the central coast. Chanterelle mushrooms are abundant.

    It was profitable to take a hike in the Oak forest and pick up a few pounds. A produce distributor in San Francisco would pay us over $50.00 a lb.

    The occasional portobello would be found as well. Hell I found a big potobello right in a vacant lot near town. Ate it that same night, almost the texture as tender steak. The Chanterelle makes the best white creamy gravy when cooked with a little white wine.

    Speaking of fast foods, I posted a prank idea in the comments on a fairly popular YouTube channel. And the following day, it looks like they kind of went with it… but differently:

    Chick-Fil-A Prank :cool:

    My idea was a bit stupid and mean. I told them that they could go to Burger King and order McDonald’s food (or vice versa). And after they get them to explain why they don’t serve that there, ask for directions to the nearest McDonald’s (or Burger King) location. :mrgreen:

  • beevee14

    I photographed the whole process, felt bad for the cows.
    I thought you were just talking about the prep and eating. My bad! :oops:
    Ranchers who do it all the time are good like that! In my minds eye I can see him with a Stetson on, a dip in his mouth, western shirt and a bandana somewhere on his person. If he is classy, he will call this a “handkerchief”. We only had about 100 head and the only time we worked them was when we first got them. Maybe some injections later. We were feeding 1,600 hogs/day, too. AND inspecting chickens at night. If it had meat on it and was edible, we had it covered. Tired all of the time but our freezer was FULL! :mrgreen:

  • beevee14

    Yes, but she never says which one it is and then you get, errr, sidetracked when M starts enjoying that burger!

  • beevee14

    I’ve never tried that one and it actually doesn’t sound bad. My brother is the chef. I’m going to ask him if he ever tried it.

    Congrats on the Carls Jr endorsement, Marina! I hope you were compensated handsomely. I think it’s way cool… like a word request you get paid for! I for one like the word chosen for this lesson, and don’t mind that it came in viral ad form. That’s what’s cool about the internet age we live in… people (and corporations) finding new creative ways to use the internet, whether it be for ads, video lessons, or music. More power to you!

    Well, I wish I could interact with HotForWords via Twitter, but my account remains mysteriously suspended. So I’ll just stick to the good ol’ HFW website.

    Ok, my mouth is officially watering now. We don’t have that brand in England, but there’s a place near me that serves terrific burgers.

    Homework:
    I normally have mine with blue cheese, red onions and some other secret ingredients. That said, I’ll never eat another one in quite the same way again.

    Brownie points:
    I did an internet search on the shroom and Portobello Road.

    I’m betting that the brown “Crimini” (an Italian word) mushroom (Portobello or Portabella) was not based on Portobello road, London, and going instead with the Italian origin.

    Portobello Road may have been derived from the Porto (port) Bello, Panama, Central America. It was captured by Vice Admiral Edward Vernon of the Royal Navy. This granted him freedom of the City of London. Probably, various locations were renamed Portobello to honour the victory.

You’re smart and I’m sure you’ll be fine. I’m so proud of you as an artist.

    I’ll never forget the sight of old women, widows of the GP war and the purges, sweeping the train platforms from Vladivostok to Riga in 1976. God bless your parents… and you for fulfilling their love. The integrity and effort of your life is something 95% of the people in “Hollywood” and “new media” can only pretend to have. In your negotiations, just KNOW that what you have to offer: Marina Orlova, the smart and happy entertainer- without gimmick or “game”- is what your fans love about you here…and will love about you wherever your journey takes you! Bon voyage Cheri!

    In times of carnage I practice the mystic Sub-Genius credo: “Don’t just eat a burger. Eat the Hell out of it!”

  • pennsyltucky9

    Yeah, well there’s a fine line there, Marina. Speaking strictly for myself I’d sure hate to lose you to the mainstream commercial media. On the other hand, you SO chowed that burger! Nice work, it definitely made me hungry. Did they just give you permission to use their product name in the shot or will they use it and air it on the West Coast? Do tell.

    I have my portobello mushroom burger with no burger. I’m vegetarian, so I order it with no meat, and it’s just right!

  • http://www.rockyfrisco.com hotrocky

    That’s probably “phallus” which is an old word for penis.

  • sorodocul

    thats correct, but i’d like to say 2 thinks, first – it’s not quite acurate, it’s not penis but it refers to male genital organs, and second i badly whant to see Marina haw she try to explain how she found the word, and how she try to explain what it means.

    In the end HOTROCKY get’s an A+ :)

  • sorodocul

    why is so wrong to eat meat? since the man on earth, we eat meat, it’s or it was the primery food type for us, it’s not so healthy “that i know” (i’m not a fan of meat, but i eat meat when i get the oportunity). Ok I know that some people do not stand to watch some cow or pig to die, but this not mean to NOT eat meat, if you are a animal lover that’s ok, nobody is blaming of nothing, but you do not kill that animals and let the others enjoy their meal. It’s not about you who don’t eat meat, its about the others who enjoy it, do you’r things silently and let others alone, do not have to spend money convincing others to do not eat meat, it’s a waste of time and money.

    HOTROCKY this is not for you, its for people in general, I do not have a thing for the people who do not eat meat, I have a thing for people that do not eat meat and try to convince others not to eat meat. They shood mind their business and let the others mind their own.

    sorry for my english, i’m from romania.

    Hi just registered and I have a couple requests [hey yo] and the word [word]

  • beevee14

    You mean now there is a chance for TWO dates! I knew I should have become a twitter-bug. M, you and I both know that whoever wins this date is going to sit there the whole time giggling like a fourth grader. In fact, I think you should tape it and throw it up on the site for two reasons: 1) There low comfort level and 2) whoever it is, will be telling stories and video will help flesh out what is real and what isn’t! If it is a regular, that would be even better! :cool:

    BTW, I actually slept pretty good last night. Didn’t think about THAT video at all! Got up early to watch BHO.(OMG, I just re-read that. What is wrong with ME! :sad:

  • beevee14

  • beevee14

    I always liked freeze pops. You know those plastic, liquid bags you freeze? Those always worked very well! The shape is great, too :twisted: . Just make sure you have the old sheets on the bed because they DO stain, and it doesn’t come out.

  • beevee14

    Hey, M, I was looking at your pictures and noticed the receipt. What is, “Dilettante Choc Fruit Medley” and why do I feel naughty just thinking about eating it? I’m sorry :oops: . I’m going to take a (cold) shower before BHO comes on. You do get the pulse a-racin’, though!

    Wise words, S, wise words! Did you ever notice that vegetarians and vegans are always sick with some nagging ailment? They always say things like, “It must have been that boullion cube I ate?” and I’m thinking, “No, what you need is a steak about 3/4 inch thick, medium rare!” :mrgreen: :wink:

    Barack Hussein Obama. He had his speech from Cairo at 6:00 A.M. this morning. I was all prepared for another ‘apology-fest’ but was pleasantly surprised. No apologies, and he seemed to try to marginalize the radicals from the moderates. That is a great idea! Alot of what he said just ain’t gonna happen(Rid the world of nuclear weapons?! That genie is out and won’t be put back in the bottle), but he has 1251 days to do as much as he can. Now its off to Buchenwald! :cry:

    Duh. :oops: I must admit to a tendency to [divest] myself of political thoughts before I log on here. That particular reference didn’t even enter my mind. If you don’t mind my saying so, I’ve learned that even the barest hint of political commentary can and often does spark a virtual firestorm, and this ain’t the place, in my humble opinion.

    It has been proven time and again to make fire-breathing enemies out of formerly [affable] classmates. I’ve seen it happen with amazing rapidity and [vehemence] so I sidestep it. That ain’t what I’m here for.

    Free speech [notwithstanding], I prefer to seek ways that people are similar to myself and others instead of looking for differences between myself and others or inviting others to do so by the mere mention of such subjects. It’s just that simple. The R-word (eligion-ray) is another potential powderkeg that I check at the door. Pardon my swine-Latin old buddy. :neutral:

She couldn’t give me a satisfying definition and i found your website today. the most akward website i’ve ever seen, but now that i read up on your help section i kinda got the drift. I saw a bunch of words from your list, that it seemed like you defined just to show people’s ignorance.

    Looks good dude!
    If you’ve never had a Mac, you are going to flip out. I did. I only use a windows machine for about a year before this new baby and I love it already! Everything is so much easier and streamlined. If you have any trouble theres a video to help you. It was little intimidating at first but that quickly passed. Once I stopped thinking “windows” and started thinking “mac” it all became very simple.
    I didn’t get FCE or ilife, but picked up the same printer (nice) and bumped the comp up to 1TB. Picked up the apple protection plan as well. I installed it but can’t figure what the hell it does or even where its at. Much more learning to do.

    Stop looking through the “windows” at what could be and become the “mac”daddy you always knew you were. :mrgreen:

  • greatestpotential

    This kid I knew in high school, his parents grew mushrooms and canned them for restaurants and food places. They ran a business and were quite successful at it. I would go over to his place and we’d go into where they had the mushrooms growing, it was a big metal building, like an airplane hanger and all the lights were shut off so the mushrooms could grow in the coolness of the darkened room. We’d turn on some lights though and we’d start up the forklift and do donuts and cruise around and goof off, it was fun. Well one day I was over at his place and his parents were on a vacation trip and so we snuck into their liquor cabinet and downed vodka. There was some food in the fridge but we were dumb kids so we ate oreo cookies and drank vodka and I barfed on his carpet and cleaned it up while I was drunk and my friend freaked out understandably because he was drunk also. His mom figured out (when she got back) that we got drunk while she and her husband were away on vacation and after that I didn’t go over to their place as often but it was cool to see how mushrooms were grown and know about that part of business and industry.

    No. They asked what my zip code was and I punched it in. Then a list comes up of collages in your area. Just pick one and boom, thats it. Do a mock sale in the ED store and then in the regular store and see the difference in price. When I say “mock sale” its actually a real sale but just take it to the point of paying and then back out. You’ll see the difference in price. Alot of products and software in the “ED Store” are less expensive. I can tell you that the comp is $100 cheaper right off the bat, and that fancy FCE Is $20 less as well as ilife. :idea:
    Theres a savings of $140 right there! :smile:

    I’d love to suggest: [testimony]; it has a really interesting meaning, which would fit well with your vidoe-style.

    I have notice some [word] requests, for and of starting with the letter “W” :eek:
    [WISDOM] :razz:
    :cool: The 13th-century Jewish scholar Nachmanides wrote, “According to our sages, they were notorious for every evil, but their fate was sealed for their persistence in not supporting the poor and the needy.” His contemporary Rabbenu Yonah expresses the same view: “Scripture attributes their annihilation to their failure to practice tzedakah [charity or justice].” [8] The Book of Wisdom, which is included in the Biblical canon by Orthodox and Roman Catholics, but excluded by modern Jews, Protestants, and other Christian denominations, makes reference to the story of Sodom, further emphasizing that their sin had been failing to practice hospitality:

    And punishments came upon the sinners not without former signs by the force of thunders: for they suffered justly according to their own wickedness, insomuch as they used a more hard and hateful behavior toward strangers.
    For the Sodomites did not receive those, whom they knew not when they came: but these brought friends into bondage, that had well deserved of them.

    Marina: give us [WISDOM]…please :razz:
    work some wisdom oh wise woman—Marina :cool:

    Hey Marina. Gorgeous as always. It looks like your roots are showing a little bit though. Anyway, I have a phrase I’d like you to look into. I was wondering where the term [virtual reality] comes from. Why don’t we call it digital reality? What is so virtual about it?

  • el juapo

    your the smartest gorn i’ve ever met. most gorns i’ve met just want to fight. apologies if i’m stereotyping gorns. i get wasted on npr a lot, especially while i’m driving. but its usually safe to drive under the influence of npr.

    Got an HP with a few problems brewing, looking myself.
    I ‘d blow the protection plan off, just a gimmick to suck more money out of you.
    Go with the basic plan, faster chip and graphic card you probably wooden notice the difference anyway.
    If you got a printer that works ok I’d blow off the one that comes with it, if that cuts down on the price.

  • rijk

    3 possibilities to the origin of the name, no conclusion?
    Now i now how you keep your body in shape. When you “eat” your burger, it doesn’t appear to get any smaller. Didn’t you like it?

    If you look at men’s dictionary, there might be a clue there.
