    For those of you who may not get the reference,
    to the phrase Three tweets to the wind!
    Marina also did an excellent video on the phrase;

    Three sheets to the wind!

    My dear teacher, I have two word requests for you. The first is [rip off] and the second is [Russian Roulette]. Marina is too sweet and too sexy to be a rip-off. You must have some good russian roulette stories? Keep it 100, my dear teacher.

  • seesixcm6

    Dear Marina,
    For health reasons, I never get drunk, so I never tweet while drunk. Since you assured us you will get naked when you’re drunk, I’ll be happy to provide you all the high-quality vodka you’d need on our dates! :razz:
    If men drink to make women look more beautiful to them, I won’t need to drink at all when I’m with you. You already are too beautiful for me, and alcohol might make me more relaxed than I’d want to be. :grin:

    My fiancee (whose last name is Orlova!) and I disagree about what [know]means. She said I knew something that we had talked about but had forgotten about. I at first claimed that that meant that I didn’t know it, but then realized that it’s possible to know something that one has forgotten about. Is it? Also, can one know something that is false? If one discovers a mistake s/he has made, must then one say that s/he didn’t know it, but now does? Wouldn’t that mean that one can never be certain of what one knows, since it’s impossible to know when one has made a mistake until it has been corrected?

    I think you should always have a designated tweeterer in these situations.
    I’ve seen enough airings of “Over the limit, under arrest!” :-)
    Or does that apply to Twitter in the form of the 140 character limitation?
    TUI makes people tweet all over the place. :P

    Birds luv to eat those red berries off trees and get intoxicated from that and then they tweet around high Woodstock from Peanuts

  • http://captainjack.ws Captain Jack

    Nope. I’ve only had one beer this month. Some times I drink on beer a night and some times once a month. It’s all good. People say I’m really funny/silly when I drink. It’s impossible for me to get angry when I have been drinking. If I get impossible to deal with, just buy me a few beers and it all goes away. Bad reason to drink hu?

  • http://captainjack.ws Captain Jack

    Marina, is it true that the origin of the word [chivalry] is unknown because comprehensive definition of the word is elusive?

    I SAY, “CHIVALRY IS NOT YET DEAD!!!”

    *How many of you guys have see the movie “A Knights Tale”? What did you think of it?

  • http://captainjack.ws Captain Jack

    That word has already been done. Not a YouTube video but I think it was a Sirius Satellite Radio show. Maybe one of the TAs or students might know which episode it was.
    I was surprised to find out the word has nautical origins. Leave it the our master teacher to do a word that none of the books in my collection had the word.

  • http://captainjack.ws Captain Jack

    I totally agree! :mrgreen:

    There has been a few times I’ve been out on dates and scolded for attempting to show some chivalry. I guess the modern woman expects to be treated differently. Sad though, for it’s fun thing for a guy to do in my opinion. It’s even kind of nice when a women returns the favor but I feel very awkward (even a bit embarrassed) about it. :roll:

    When Marina originally made the TA page she kidded about people would think that’s what it meant.

  • http://www.mokenergy.com William

    That sound bite you repeat is widely believed because there is some merit to it since the FED took no action to resolve this crisis as it was going on, (Greenspan famously said we could weather draw down in liquidity by lowering discount rates and increasing debt) but it hides more than it reveals by putting blame on the folks who held the coats of the perps.

    Since 2000 the US has had a huge draw down (about $8 trillion) of currency held by foreigners. By 2007 liquidity shortages combined with rule changes on loan reporting following Enron fiasco broke our banking system. Political response has weakened our banks and stocks instead of correcting the problem.

    Foreigners were put in this position by Reagan’s ‘fix’ of the S&L crisis in 1980 which set us up for this crisis while it allowed us to whip inflation by selling debt to the Chinese for a generation.

    Bush’s total inability to function as an effective President in a crisis ended the Leontief Paradox unfavorably for the USA.

    Obama’s inability to apprehend what needs to be done has led us in the wrong direction by making our markets less competitive not more competitive.

    We basically have spent a lot of money on maintaining our military dominance in the nuclear age, and the economic chickens have come home to roost – brought about in part by mismanagement over the past 8 years.

    The good news is we can fix this by abandoning the paradigm of the 1940s and adopting ideas more appropriate to the 2010s.

    [Chivalry] obviously comes from the French word cheveu, meaning “hair.” In medieval France, it was considered polite for a man to court a woman by brushing her hair. By extention, being [chivalrous] came to mean any politely attentive behavior toward women. The custom was also the source of the word “groom” as in “bride and groom,” as the groom had been “grooming” the bride’s hair.

    It’s true, I tell you! :mrgreen:

    Drinking and writing have a long history:

    The Philosophers’ Drinking Song :lol:

    The Philosophers Drinking Song. A.K.A The Australian Drinking Song. As performed by the mighty Pythons. Lyrics;
    Immanuel Kant was a real pissant
    who was very rarely stable.
    Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar
    who could think you under the table.
    David Hume could out consume
    Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel,
    And Wittgenstein was a beery swine
    who was just as sloshed as Schlegel.

    There’s nothing Nietzsche couldn’t teach ya
    ’bout the raisin’ of the wrist.
    Socrates himself was permanently pissed.

    John Stuart Mill, of his own free will,
    after half a pint of shandy was particularly ill.
    Plato, they say, could stick it away,
    ‘alf a crate of whiskey every day!
    Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle,
    and Hobbes was fond of his dram.
    And Rene Descartes was a drunken fart:
    “I drink, therefore I am.”

    Yes, Socrates himself is particularly missed;
    A lovely little thinker, but a bugger when he’s pissed.

    Yes, But between the 11th century and 15th centuries Medieval writers often used the word [chivalry], but its definition was never consistent between authors, and its meaning would change on a regional basis, and even over time. Further more, its modern meanings are different from its medieval meanings. So how do you explain that? :smile:
    I suspect chivalry in its modern meaning doesn’t originate from the French word cheveu, but goes back to the Latin word caballus. Which we then get Cab from Old New York taxi cab. So on and so fish with baggy rinkles covered in taco sauce. Anyone have their finger on my Eggo? :roll:

    I understand that decelerate means to slow down. But in Webster’s New World Dictionary one definition applied for Physics is “to cause a change in the velocity…” and does not say speed up or down therefore one might assume that accelerate could imply a decrease in speed.

    In scientific terms you are right; an acceleration can have a plus or a minus value, or even have both plus and minus values if you are considering more than one axis, however in normal layman’s language, as Evan said, a minus acceleration is called a deceleration.

    Detective…Detective…Detective was an American rock band that toured and recorded in the late 1970s. Detective consisted of vocalist Michael Des Barres, guitarist Michael Monarch, bassist Bob Pickett, keyboardist Tony Kaye, and drummer Jon Hyde. The band released two albums, Detective (produced by Jimmy Page under the pseudonym “Jimmy Robinson”) and It Takes One To Know One in 1977, as well as Live From The Atlantic Studios, a promotional LP recorded only for radio broadcast, in 1978.

    The band appeared on episode 104 of WKRP in Cincinnati as the fictional hoodlum rock group Scum of the Earth.

    Their record label was Swan Song Records.

    Hey buddy 2 bands …on the Swan Song thingy…The Pretty Things…Balloon is Burning
    …the question is…how this band is related to the ROLLING STONES?

    In January 1974 Led Zeppelin negotiated the agreement with Atlantic Records to set up Swan Song Records.[1] The label was launched with parties in New York and Los Angeles.[1] A lavish media party was also held at Chislehurst Caves in Kent, England on October 31, 1974, to celebrate the label’s first UK release by the Pretty Things, Silk Torpedo (the first US release for Swan Song was the self-titled debut album from Bad Company in June 1974). The company logo was based on Evening also called The Fall of Day (1869) by painter William Rimmer, featuring a picture of the Greek god Apollo.[2]

    By March 1975, Swan Song had four albums (Bad Company, Silk Torpedo, Physical Graffiti, and Suicide Sal) in the Billboard Top 200 chart. The recording label also partly funded film projects such as Monty Python and the Holy Grail in 1975. In an interview he gave in January of that year, Page offered his perspective on the label:

    We’ve got some good things lined up. I think the Pretty Things LP is brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. We’re [record] executives and all that crap, but I’ll tell you one thing the label was never right from the top Led Zeppelin records. It’s designed to bring in other groups and promote acts that have had raw deals in the past. It’s a vehicle for them and not for us to just make a few extra pennies over the top

    also..Artists that released material on the Swan Song label during its existence included Led Zeppelin itself (including later solo releases by band members Jimmy Page and Robert Plant); Bad Company; The Pretty Things; Dave Edmunds; Mirabai; Maggie Bell (and the short-lived band she fronted, Midnight Flyer); Detective; Sad Café; and Wildlife :smile:

    MY PRIVATE PART DIED

    An old man, Mr.. Wallace, was living in a nursing home.

    One day he appeared to be very sad and depressed.

    Nurse Tracy asked him if there was anything wrong,

    ‘Yes, Nurse Tracy ,’ said Mr. Wallace.

    ‘My Private Part died today, and I am very sad.’

    Knowing her patients were a little forgetful and sometimes a li ttle crazy,
    she replied, ‘Oh, I’m so sorry, Mr. Wallace. Please accept my condolences.’

    The following day, Mr. Wallace was walking down the hall with his Private Part
    hanging out of his pyjamas.

    He met Nurse Tracy. ‘Mr. Wallace,’ she said,
    ‘You shouldn’t be walking down the hall like that.

    Please put your Private Part back inside your pyjamas.’

    ‘But, Nurse Tracy I can’t,’ replied Mr. Wallace.
    ‘I told you yesterday that my Private Part died.

    ‘Yes,’ said Nurse Tracy, ‘you did tell me that,
    but why is it hanging out of your pyjamas?

    ‘Well,’ he replied, ‘Today is the viewing.’ :mrgreen: :twisted:

    Question: What is unique about Bonham’s drumming on Led Zeppelin’s official album release recording of Kashmir(?) hints: It was left on the recording, though it was considered as something that would be mixed out in the final studio recording. Another hint: you’ll need very expensive recording stereo equipment to make out what that is. Lastly; Bonham went with it and it’s on the song Kashmir.
