Mischievous part deux!

:cool: 1st!!!!

super…he must have been pretty cool :P NY

Dear HotForWords,

When I was in Jr. High I had some stink bombs, the kind in the glass, the kind that smells like rotten eggs and doesn’t go away and covers a large area with it’s stink. In the lunch room I stepped on one of my own supply underneath the table… the entire lunch room was effected! Everybody left the lunch room not finishing their lunch, all of the halls were full this lunch day. And the vice principal was out looking for the suspect. Luckily all the people a ran with, who knew it was me, were not going to rat me out. That’s about it.

Peace,
ThoughtOnFire

No, it looks like Mischievous Marina was first… :lol:

I’m not soul holy to tell…. by the way —free church wine—after class[mass] :twisted: :lol: …Brenda Lee covered Ballin’ the Jack on her first album entitled “Grandma, What Great Songs You Sang!” (Later renamed “Brenda Lee Sings Songs Everybody …[blanket]…

Twist around with all your might.
Shake your loving arms way out in space,
Then you do the Eagle Rock with the style and grace.
Swing your foot way round then you bring it back.
That’s what I call Ballin’ The Jack.

…I guess me being here miss-chiefious :lol:

I had a similar experience, but with a nerf foot ball at Kmart. A friend and I were playing catch when the ball was thrown too high and grazed the lights. It knocked the fluorescent light out and it came smashing down. It was a good thing that no one else was in the store at the time.

:| I do prank calls

“I’m calling to congratulate you, you’ve won our sweepstakes, you’re our big winner!” Then ask the caller to find the grocery slip with the winning number printed on the bottom of the reciept because if they don’t have the grocery slip with the winning number on it then they can’t claim their $50,000 dollar prize.

HotForWords,

I thought you said it was a jacket that has chrome hearts on it.
Ut Oh!! I was almost a baaaahd boy…
That’s a black short coat.
Interesting zippers.
OK search recalibrated.

My most mischievous thing.
I stole (borrowed) a couple of helicopters.
On more than one occasion.

College Mischievous:
At the end of my senior spring semester, a broadcast production class I had been elected to head as producer finished shooting a documentary on space industry. We were then told we would not get to edit the project to completion. As producer, I had an obligation to my class that had worked so hard to create our shared vision.

So, having a key to the store room where the raw tapes were kept, one night I went in and removed the tapes from the dust covers, put the dust covers back on the shelf and “borrowed” the tapes.
I edited the project at my own expense and replaced the tapes.

Then the project won the first student Emmy ever awarded.

Now, “we” had a problem: USC still didn’t know the tapes had been taken and the project edited and awarded the Emmy from ATVAS. We negotiated a revised credit for USC. To this day Broadcast Journalism students at USC think the first student Emmy award went to a class two years after us. Our show aired on Discovery Channel in the US and Japan in 1986.

Computer mischievous:
One of the word processors we used to write and edit my book took out all the apostophes and inserted weird, random symbolics.
I’m now on page 111 of 564… doing a paragraph of proofing at a time.

Thanks for the Video, the last time I broke car windows, crazy. From this Video I didn’t know the 5th of Noverber was holiday, and the Guy Faweks was the bases of the movie vendetta. I’ve taken the time to write down the poem he resists in the movie for you.

Voila, in view, a humble vadevillian veteran cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous valorous visitation of a bygone vexation stand vivified and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vangarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violatltion of volition.

After careful consideration, I must claim my right under the 5th ammendment. ;-)

There are too many to choose from, and many have not past the statute of limitations… :oops: :twisted: :shock: ;-) :lol:

Mispronouncing the word mischievous is mischief enough for me. :razz:
Thanks for clearing that up.

Dear Marina,
I’m sorry someone stole your nice black jacket. They ought to mail it back to you, right away. It gets cold during winter, here. I would mail you my windbreaker style jacket, if you’d like. It will keep you warm, and you’d look beautiful in it, even if it is a man’s jacket, and likely too big for you. Let me know, and I’ll wash it before I mail it to you! (Since I’m the first one to offer you my jacket, you should pick me to mail it to you!)
In the Army, a mischievous thing I did was to instruct a Colonel to point his microphone at a speaker. The Colonel had complained about “feedback” during a voice check as he practiced before his speech. Well, if you point the mike at a speaker, the mike picks up the slight hissing noise from a swpeaker, amplifies it repeatedly, and develops the loud whistle you hear. Well, the loud, shrill noise showed the Colonel how to prevent feedback by holding the microphone so it won’t pick up sound from the speakers! :razz:
(I didn’t get another promotion after that!) :shock:

You brought up the subject of HELL NIGHT in Detroit, MI on Haloween. They will torch vacant boarded up bulldings in the inner city. Once when up there on business I saw there still are these boarded up abandoned homes in Detroit left there after the 1965 Riots!! They seemed to have had a giant toxic waste pit bigger than a football field near low income residential houses, too! My recollection from 20 years ago!

PLEASE MARINA FOR CHRISTMAS I WANT YOU TO DO THE WORD [SOLES]!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Excellent video and we get to visit Guy Fawkes again.
He was first visited in this video.
http://www.hotforwords.com/2007/12/05/hey-guys/

I loved the part about the pronunciation and will help me to spell it in the future. I think I’ve heard too many people pronounce it incorrectly that as you hinted in the video, it seems that the mispronounced word was going to become legitimate.

Your story, Marina, reminded me of what happened to me in third grade. The teacher was writing on the black board and me being bored I was playing with a rubber band, my notebook and a pencil. It only took me a few seconds to launch the pencil which flew and hit the black board over the teachers right shoulder. She jumped around scowling and shouted who did that? ( She was scary looking. Kids would dress up to look like her on Halloween.) My friend Mike Gordon said “Eugen did it.” Guess who wound up wearing the dunce cap? There were more serious consequences. The following September I found myself in the retard class (“class for special children”). I would stay in that class until I moved away from NYC and PS 37. Seven years later my buddy Bob and me are hitching hiking to Jones Beach and were getting a ride from this guy when I related the story to Bob and I made fun of the teacher’s name. The guy hit the brakes and told us to get out and with the meanest face I ever saw he said “That teacher is my mother.” Two bad days? No my whole life has been like that.

great video Marina! :smile:
speaking of Christmas, i always wanted to know the meaning of the word candy cane. And I found it recently! :razz: Now i want to share it with you, hope you will find it interesting…
Many years ago a candy maker wanted to make a candy that would symbolize the true meaning of Christmas-Jesus.
The hard candy was shaped like a “J” to represent that Jesus is our rock of all ages. The candy was made of white to stand for the pureness of Jesus. The red represents the blood that Jesus shed to save us from our sins.
So the next time you see a candy cane take a minute to remember the real meaning of Christmas.
Do you like candies Marina? :smile:

You really want to know what mischievous thing I have done?
As a five year old kid, I used to hang around with slightly older boys who would would be generous and they would treat me to soda drinks and bubble gum at the corner store.

I had not started first grade yet, and many of the older boys were going to school. I decided that I needed some bubble gum and I spotted a shiny red flyer type wagon in front of the neighboring apartments. I casually walked over to the red wagon and pulled it half a mile to the local recycler that the boys had been telling me about. They told me that whenever I needed some money, to just find some metal and take it over there.

Well, I got several bucks for that red wagon and I was able to buy a whole bunch of bubble gum. I thought I was brilliant, until my dad came home that afternoon and he found out about my misdeed from a neighbor who had seen me take the wagon.

The boys who found out earlier that the red wagon was missing did not believe the neighbor as they thought some older outsider must have taken the wagon, until my dad retrieved the wagon from the recycler. Since everything turned out all right, I sort of became a hero to the older boys and was always treated with respect.

thats a nice thought and one may apply such symbolism to add further meaning to an object such as the candy cane. however, there isn’t any historical evidence to support this rather recent interpretation of the candy cane is an explanation of its origin. in truth there is an established origin that has been historically verified. but again, a symbol can have a multiplicity of meanings and frequently these meanings change over time. your particular interpretation seems appropriate within the contexts of your belief system. i do hope it adds further meaning to your holiday experience.

yo, kristanna, i’m really happy for you and imma let you finish. but the mars bar which looks like a turd is one of the greatest candies of all time. OF ALL TIME!

besides. the “j” stands for jerk off, the white represents sperm and the red represents the menstrual period.

i’m never going to suck on another candy cane again.

no? there’s this saying … what was it … about a pirate and the red sea or something? i forget.

Of course, I am not going to tell everyone the really mischievous stuff (I’m no fool, you know). But i will tell about the “best” one.

I was in the USAF, working in NSA at Fort George G. Meade, MD., where each branch of the service (except the Coast Guard) had their own barracks building. These cinder block buildings (which you can still see at 39 06 26.54N/ 76 45 46.97W) were as old as the hills, such that the vinyl floor tiles actually wore through to the concrete and had to be replaced—and this was in 1968! Now the stage is set.

We got this new squadron commander, a PHD in music, whose job was basically making sure the building didn’t burn down, because he had nothing to do with our jobs at the NSA “Puzzle Palace.” His first action was to post a memo on the bulletin board that started out saying how he wanted to remove all the irritants of barracks life, then many paragraphs of blah, blah, blah, followed by an ending statement that there would be a “white glove” inspection the next Saturday morning (our day off) and he expected all the floors to be stripped and new wax put down. I circled the first and last paragraphs and labelled it “LOGIC!”

Knowing that this guy had a screw loose, I knew there was no way you could win, so there was no point in spending the whole evening stripping anything. Everyone else stripped the ancient tiles Friday night and put down a coat of wax. The only thing giving them any shine at all greater than sandpaper were the many, many layers of wax. I came in at 10PM when they were putting the mops, buffer, etc. away. I swept out my cube, damp mopped it and buffed it with the buffer that had a bit of wax left on the brush. Time invested: five minutes.

The next morning, we were “standing tall.” My cube was the first to be inspected, and naturally, the floor gleemed. I passed. Everyone else’s floor was dull, and they had to stay in all Saturday to re-strip the floors. I made myself scarce and no one ever caught on.

that reminds me.

i lol’d.:D

I used to be a first rate liar. I was so good at lying that I could actually get the person I would be talking to, to tell the lie for me. It act is mainly played off of the fact that most people assume, which I greatly discourage. First, you start by saying a statement that is true and then you say the statement up to a certain point. About halfway through the statement you stop and just stare at the person you are talking to. Finally, ince the person you are talking to is prone to assuming things, you know that this person will assume a logical ending to your statement and you simply agree with whatever they say. I have done other mischievous things, this is just one of them.

Wow, so my birthday is on the original Mischief Night. Sure explains a lot. As for my most mischievous act, it’s a good tale, but I’m hesitant to relate it until I check the statute of limitations on certain aspects. No one was hurt, ‘tho.

:smile: according to this video sugar sticks, as these confectionary treats were known as, started being called shepherd crooks after a german choir master decided to have some of these candy sticks bent as a treat for his choir.

A video on this hard candy :arrow:

Puzzle Palace, lol, I haven’t heard that term in years! The NSA is a whole new ball of wax now days. :lol:

I used to work for a small floor waxing company. Many times the boss would water down the wax. We felt that was very unethical. Heck, he asked us to do many unethical things. What’s worse, is he was an elder in his church. This bothered me and my partner. So we decided to split off and start our own company. Because we were to wild and crazy guys, we decided to name it “Scumbusters”. It wasn’t such a good name choice for it was discovered from a trademark search that Black & Decker had a cleaning tool called the Scumbuster. We said screw it, we’re keeping the name.

There were many times we would do a spot mop and a buff. We had a good 4-7 coats of wax down and as long as we didn’t have any contamination when we laid it down the first time ( i.e. lint, dust, hair, or any small dark objects), we would just do that. It looked great! If the wax yellowed or there was a bad spill then we would just strip that layer off.

That was our idea of working smarter and not harder.

Another great lesson.

I just bought your book at Borders bookstore, and it is a fun book with interesting facts as well as great pictures.

I would like to request the word [misandry], as I work in an office full of women who examplify the word to the highest degree. :roll:

That is why it is good to come home from work to a friendly female face (belive me friendly beats pretty “six ways from Sunday”}.

Keep up the good work

PK,

That rebellious nature shows up early…and never really leaves – does it? ;-)

Wait…Wait…WAIT!

Throwing a book in school – and having the class bully protect her – and cleaning up the broken glass from the damage that made innocent Marina look good…IS THE MOST MISCHIEVIOUS EXPERIENCE IN OUR SWEET TEACHER’S LIFE!!?? :shock:

I guess you learn something new every day.

Somehow I suspect another story or two lurks – but what do I know? :???:

Ahh – C’mon Alax…

It’s the Holidays.

I liked the story.

I say Peace on Earth and Good Will toward Men (and women too!) :grin:

This will be a fun way to get Googled:

A half hour later, at 05:30 am Moscow, NSA’s wideband radio frequency scanning receivers hidden inside the Moscow Embassy’s roof structure intercepted a status test of the Russian President’s Cheget codes originating from inside the Kremlin. The briefcase was assumed to be exercising its usual operational status “handshakes” with the three redundant Russian strategic military networks in a series of frequency-hopping UHF frequencies that the NSA had long-before identified. The NSA code shop in Maryland hadn’t been able to crack the Russian authorization codes but it was known how the Russian Code-Division Multiplexing equipment in the three Chegets algorithmically shaped unified command messages as they hopped from frequency-to-frequency to prevent jamming during these handshakes. The code structure used in the Ghegets was quite distinctive.

Remember, remember the 5th of November…

A pipe fitting company I was working for had the process piping and also the plumbing contract to retrofit an elecronics factory in San Jose, CA. Work was progressing normally on the pipe fitting side, but I noticed the plumbers were hauling ass to get the men’s and women’s restrooms finished. The plumbers had just tightened the last nut on the last fixture to be installed when the owner and his entourage arrived and wanted to see the restrooms. This was a factory that was owned by Chinese folks, with mostly Chinese immigrant workers. So, the owner walked into the bathroom, took one look and walked out. He told the plumbers to rip out all the tile. All of the tile, which included the walls and floors. Mystified, the plumbers asked why. He was informed that the tiles had tiny black specks in the design. (They were high end ceramic tiles.) To the Chinese, black specks is serious bad luck. So, the plumbers had to take out of the fixtures they had worked so hard to install, and hire tile installers to demo the specked tiles and install different tiles…no specks.
I felt this was very humorous since I’m not at all superstitious. I decided to do my part in this superstition thing. So, in the back of the factory, where most of the industrial equipment was, I taped a 2 foot string on the end of a thick black felt pen, and started to swing it around and around as fast as I could. Normally, I would do this to a pen that had dried up, with it’s cap on, to try to force ink to the tip. Now, with the cap off, the ink flew off the pen with tremendous centrifugal force, applying tiny black specks on the floors, walls and ceiling and piping and equipment. Tremendous amounts of Chinese bad luck everywhere.

The first thing that comes to mind was when we TPd the high school. We did a really good job and had the entire court yard simply covered. :cool: Good times… :roll:

:cry: Homework When I was in first grade, I let my devil-may-care attitude get the better of me! My class was standing in line to go back in from recess. All of a sudden I threw a rock at the garbage can! I don’t why I did it I just did it. Luckily it didn’t hit anyone, but my teacher was :evil: MAD :!: She asked who did that :?: All the kids pointed to :arrow: me :!: Back when I was in school corporal punishment was the norm and my teacher normally used a ping-pong paddle for spanking! She called it the “lolly pop” because it gave LICKS! But this time she borrowed another teacher’s bigger paddle to use on me :!: :cry: I learned to never do anything that stupid again :!:

Fun way to get googled?

The most mischievous thing I ever did got written up under the screaming headline, “Plot to Kidnap Prince Charles!” in the tabloid Wales on Sunday about 15 years ago. MI5, Buckingham Palace Security, and the Free Wales Army all made statements about it. :shock:

[Britain]

I suppose a mischievous thing to do would be to tell Bob the following story:

A British fellow’s dying request was that each of his friends leave a £5 note in his coffin.

John Smith was first, and honoured his friend’s request with £5.
Dafydd Evans borrowed £5 from Smith and dropped it in the coffin.
Fraser MacIntosh hesitated, then wrote out a cheque for £15 and dropped it into the coffin, pocketing the two £5 notes as change.

When he received his next bank statement, MacIntosh was astonished to see that his cheque had cleared. Turning it over, he read the endorsement: “Seamus O’Brien, Undertaker.” :mrgreen:

It was a summer evening. I was at an after graduation party at a friends cottage by a local lake. Lots of beer and mayhem. A buddy and myself decided we should retrieve something I had stashed at my house. We thought the best route of entry was through my bedroom window. We got the screen off, reached in and cranked the window open and started to climb through. The lights snapped on and there we were staring down my dad’s pistol. “What the hell is going on!” I responded “just grabbing a swimming suit”. Well I grabed my suit and what we came for and continued to party the night away. I was ok but my buddy was really shook up! The next day I got the lecture about how close I was to death.

Sometimes, when I look back on the high school years I think the girls were more mischievous than the boys. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ow2EotTdHng

yeah, i know. got all your presents yet? if not, well …

Hello Marina,again Happy Birthday .Sorry to hear about your jacket :!: The video was great and informative.One Mischievous time me and a few friends where in Middle School at the time,we where waiting for the school bus to come to take us to school in the morning.It was getting late already late for school cold ,it was winter.We got tired of waiting we had taken off running knowing the bus was almost there to pick us up.We skipped school that day.

Oh I do like that one. :mrgreen:

Request for new word: onomatopoeia

sounds like the band’s name is the maxx & eels. lol. novocaine for the soul is one of my faves of the eels.

goddamn right it’s a beautiful day..

aww.. no? it’s so festive here, i feel like humming..

Oh, that’s not right, Marina! :lol: The pretty girl was rewarded for her mischievous deed, totally not right. Remember this if you get a ticket for jay walking. :lol:

When we were teens we would stand on the side of the road near an old gas station and steal used tires and roll them out in front of cars that were going to the local drive in. It was a blast at the time watching the cars dodging the tires and the people trying to catch us. Then there was this time, oh well maybe in another video. :lol:

Request for new word: [ROMANCE]

That’s the most mischievous thing on the forum!

hi HotForWords,

how are you??

would you be able to find out the origins of the word ‘surreptitiously’ its a really nice word to say as its kinda like a kissing action when you say the word.

thanx
Treybooshey
xoxox

LOL Marina! My most mischievous thing was probably…. Oh there is loads. I really would have to think harda bout it.

I’m curious the origin of [mannequin], those ladies you see in store windows. Sounds French, am I right?

P.S. My most mischevious thing as a kid was probably poking holes in paper cups at a BBQ so people’s drinks would leak out the bottom!

Hey Marina,

I am quite in awe that you haven’t touched on two of the most obvious words that come to mind for anyone who’s checked out your sites. Can you tell me out of curiosity and humor the origins of [TITS] AND [PERVERT]? I think your predominantly male audience would get a kick out of it. ;-)

You’re lucky someone didn’t lose control and get killed. Egad!

At the time we didn’t think or care about it. Now there are just some things in life you can’t undo. :|

thanks darlingj :smile:
i wish everybody were like you

lol. never heard this story alax

Marina, you need a jacket with one of these in it. (Just think, we could stalk you from the comfort of our PCs. :shock: )

Put some brackets around your request,
Or they won’t get read with all of the rest.

You are right agua1975, we did get a kick out of Marina’s awesome videos on boobs and tits, but never perverted. :smile:

The word tit was done in the context of the word titillate

This one speaks for itself :shock: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJcf0qZdPW0

“Esperando” stands for “waiting” too in Spanish, which makes some sense as there is always a certain amount of waiting in any esperance.

I was once caught in a conspiration to take over the galaxy and terminate the solar system, but I could escape by knockouting the peace officers who were trying to send me to a place where I would be interrogated, bullied, brainwashed, intimidated and tortured. I then flushed my master plan in the toilet, popped open a bottle of booze, lightened a very expensive and genuine Cuban cigar and mastermindedly convinced the judge that I was not even 16 and needed my mummy so he couldn’t do anything against me. I could distract his attention from the topic of the conversation by refusing to salute the national flag. He god pissed off and started lecturing me about proper social behaviour. He even try to buy me by offering me a pot de vin of several million dollars. I spat on the money, which impressed him quite a lot. When he finally realized that I was 26 and not 16, I was already waving at him while popping a 250+MPH wheelie on my jet-black superbike in front of the court of justice building (in a 35MPH zone)

Diantre, I have done more mischievous things than this one for sure, but I just can’t remember them right now. Eh, I’ll post them here when I remember, all right?

Ciao ciao arrivederci.

Oh, darn me st00pid. I forgot to say that the judge was under the influence of the 2600Hz frequency during the argumentative negotiation, since I alledgedly was in the possession of a pimped capt’n Crunch whistle, which I blew in his face while he was repetitively and spasmodically knocking on his desk with his golden justice hammer.

FZ had a sense of humor.

I think Marina has abandoned us here you know.

See, in england. Your parents stay asleep when you sneak in… In the US, your parents get ready for some child killing :grin:

I second [pervert] mind you, either I am not noticing they are still there but I have seemed to loose some of them.

Wha..? Tell more!

OK, Maybe it was when me and my friend went to the golf course and rolled up loads of turf.. Maybe it was when me and my friend ate 2 packs of crackers in a shed and when his mum caught us we said mice ate them. Or maybe when my dad was mowing the lawn and I leaned out the window and fired a bb gun so it would fly over his head, instead it hit him right in the ass.

What you say is both sassy and mischievous. :grin: Knowing the general gun laws of both countries, I think you’ve made quite a statement. :smile:

homework strike!

ha ha, that’s funny james.

dad mowing, wait, thinking, got one

you mean we are here all alone?

yes? FoodFight!

I am going through hell right now.. they couldn’t get my bed into my apartment.. they had to come in form the outside.. pulling it up like so many flights of stairs.. I took a video and will show it to you guys as soon as I get a second to edit it!

DA DA DAAAHHHH!!! That would be funny. Sorry, I should’t find your misfortune funny.. But, I do… :) Have you got the parcel I mailed you yet BTW?

don’t they always have to come in from the outside? oO if they wouldn’t, they’d be inside already, i suppose. just wondering.

Flights of stairs? :oops: That calls for a $10 tip for both moving dudes. (That’s a 6-pak of Stella Artois and a family size bag of tortilla chips, each.)

Some say that a person’s soul is revealed by what he seeks for enjoyment. That loud, noisy/un-harmonic, strobing cesspool is an appropriate setting for the gathering of the mischievous, mindless children of Dionysus. It might be good to coin the word “woodstock” to denote such gatherings (the mischief in the original woodstock destroyed private farmland). Glad this lesson does not have the “extras” toward the end — this fact, in the present context, helps distinguish you.

I don’t know anything about this actress Sarah Jessica Parker, but here’s something I just found out and which I love about her:

It seems she’s always had a mole on her chin. Sometime last year, she had the mole removed. Shortly after that, while at the beach, she was confronted by a woman who accusingly told her that she had gotten rid of her “signature”. What I love is SJP’s immediate reaction to that accusation:

My mole was my signature? Isn’t my brain my signature?

No.. they had to lift it up on the outside of the building! Like 15 floors or so!

Arthur Fry, inventor of the Post-It pad, designed and built the very first machine to manufacture Post-It pads in his basement. He then found out it was bigger than the door! So the basement wall was broken to get the machine to the 3-M plant.

Etymology not of [Throw it against the wall and see what sticks.] and of [Wall of Fame]:

These statements have their origin based on the last of the several rituals girls interested in joining the Delta Sorority had to go through:

The last ritual for girls interested in joining the Delta Sorority was that the prospective sorors (Latin for sisters; frater/brother) had to throw their panties against the wall. Those whose panties stuck the longest against the wall or which created the biggest gooey streak as it slowly slid down the wall got be become members. Also, the top candidates got to write their name and statistics at the spot/streaks made by their panties: not just their name and their “size-statistics”, but also numerical measurements that specified the stickiness, wetness, and the duration for which their panties stayed up against the wall.

:mrgreen: When I was a teenager,my next door neighbor and I created some home made gunpowder and packed it underneath a tree stump in my back yard. When we set off the gunpowder,it blew the stump out of the ground. We were very proud of ourselves but our mom’s were very angry at us. Needless to say,we never tried that again!!

:mrgreen: [Octopus] TAKO RYKA POPPIPPOO [Megurine Ruka]

Mather proposes “a foraging theory of intelligence.” She says that animals like octopuses (or humans) that pursue varied food sources in changeable, perilous habitats must develop a wide range of hunting and defensive strategies. That takes brainpower. “If you find yourself foraging in a complex environment, where you have to deal with many kinds of prey and predators,” she says, “it makes sense to invest more in cognition.” :roll: …from Bob’s link…Although cephalopods are an ancient order, shell-less cephalopods are relatively recent arrivals—about 200 million years old, like mammals and teleost, or bony, fishes. Before that, ammonites and other shelled cephalopods ruled the seas, but competition from the nimble, fast-swimming teleosts wiped out all but the relic nautilus. The cephalopods that survived were the zoological [counterrevolutionaries]… :lol: “Octopuses Are Smart Suckers” by Roland Anderson and Jennifer Mather

..Octopuses are solitary; they breed once, then waste away and die. Females tend their eggs, but the tiny hatchlings are on their own. As cephalopod-respiration expert Ron O’Dor of Dalhousie University in Nova Scotia wonders, “Why would you bother to get so smart when you’re so short-lived?” ..

Counterrevolutionaries don’t survive. They last longer, that’s all. Nothing is so perfect that it does not descend to its tomb. Jade is shattered. Even gold is crushed. One does not live forever on this earth, and rumour has it that the best jokes are the shortest ones.

Why would you bother to get so smart when you’re so short-lived? And why would you bother to get so rich when you’re so short-lived?

He who must pay his followers is not a true leader. He’s a mere manager of mercenaries, and has nothing to teach a leader. Actually, the mercenary is the one who should teach both the leader and the manager what makes him run so fast for rewards.

“Aut inveniam viam aut faciam”
– Hannibal (248 – 183 BC)

I was in the back office of a customer with my tool kit, where I had stored (for the first time) a Sharpie marker with the tip down to keep it moist. When I pulled off the cap to use it, a big splotch of ink fell on the carpet. Yikes! Luckily I knew that alcohol would dissolve the ink and I always carried a bottle in the kit. After a lot of blotting and rubbing while hoping the cust wouldn’t come back into the office, I got it all cleaned up.

:mrgreen: Since that incident,the two of us have been sworn to secrecy by the Federal Government. They don’t want others to know how we did it. We later tried our hand at launching rockets but I can’t discuss that either for obvious reasons. By the way,I always get a twinkle in my eye when I watch a space shuttle launch on TV.

A guy walks into a bar with an octopus under his arm. He sets the octopus on a stool next to him and announces: “This is an amazing octopus. I’ll bet anyone in this bar $50 that this octopus can play any instrument set in front of it.”

None of the people could believe this, so one guy brought up a guitar. The octopus took hold of the guitar and started picking away, better than Jimi Hendrix. The man took $50 from the guitarist. Next someone brings up a trumpet. The octopus started playing the trumpet, better than Herb Alpert. The man won another $50 from the trumpeter. Then some guy brought up some bagpipes. The octopus picked up the bagpipes for a minute and, looking a little puzzled, set them down again.

“Can’t you play the bagpipes?” asked the man. “Play it?” said the octopus, “I’m gonna screw it as soon as I figure out how to get its pajamas off.”

I can’t wait to see the clip of that lift. I hope they at least had a block and tackle and a mile of rope. 15 stories is a major lift. Not a casual undertaking. There’s an element of danger to it, too. A bldg that tall might have a small crane on the roof.

I’m not knocking their unique sound, maybe it grows on you. I didn’t see FZ make the statement, but understanding the standards he required for members of his bands, I would think his statement was less about the Shaggs and more of a dig at bands in general at the time.

…I was going to look for that Laural and HardyIn 1932 comedy greats Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy starred in “The Music Box”, a short film about two bumbling delivery men trying to deliver a piano up a flight of steep steps. That film eventually won the Academy award that year for best short film. “The Music Box” was filmed on location at the 900 block of Vendome street in the Silverlake section of Los Angeles, California. I had a chance to visit that location last year and video tape some footage. Here now is that footage.

I must have lost a dozen shirts to those felt pens bleeding in my shirt pocket. You have to figure that the worker gets absorbed in what he’s is doing, and forgets to put the cap back on once in a while. The major cost to those pens is the cost of the shirts…. or carpet if the pen is stored tip down. What’s the alternative? An old fashioned grease pen? The leads fall out and are tracked across the floor, or if they manage to make it through the wash cycle in the washing machine, they transfer their color to the clothes in that load. We need NASA to develop a better marking pen.

Dear MARINA;

what is the meaning and the origin of the word [kazantip]?

Oh yeah I remember Mia, and they definitely had a following back then. Their were a few deaths in the Seattle music scene, 90′s to the present:
Andrew Wood (Motherlovebone)
Kurt Cobain (Nirvana)
Layne Staley (Alice In Chains) and some others….
Mostly from their own vices, you know “dancing with Mr. Brownstone.” So people might have been shocked by their passing but by that point in time society was well aware that if you do certain activities you’re living on a short fuse.
I remember that her murder shook the community pretty hard, not just the people involved in the music scene but people of all walks of life. There was a major effort to raise money to give support to law enforcement local and federal to aid in the capture of her
killer. Eventually it turned into a cold case, but about a decade or so later they finally caught and convicted the fucker responsible for her murder.

Guys, why do we need exonyms?
Are we really that incapable, such that we can’t pronounce the names of countries in the same manner as it’s inhabitants?
Clearly when we go to a country, no one there refers to its name the same way as us. So why confuse people?

Side note: Americans and Russians pronounce the letter R very differently, and I understand why. Yet that’s not the only difference I noticed in the pronunciation of this country’s name(Russia vs Rossiya) in the English language.
But from this slight discrepancy to the difference between Japan and Nippon, Germany and Deutschland, Holland and Netherlands (some people even call it Duchland, oh common!), etc, etc, etc.

I would like to know the origin of the [ova] in your last name. A lot of women in America have this [ova] at the end of their last name, while their male siblings do not. I am very curious about this phenomenon.

i want to know this certain word the means “realizing or getting the bigger picture”. i read this word in a comment to a complicated anime in crunchyroll.com and searched for it’s meaning but now, I forgot the word itself. It’s a SINGLE word. anyone here knows what this word is?

Would that be “team” or something related?

It’s swell that Laurel ‘n’ Hardy short won an Academy Award. Well deserved. Damn shame bowler hats went out of style. Wearing hats wained after doublya-doublya two.

My cousin and I did the same thing. Salt Peter (Potassium Nitrate) Sulfur, and a ground up charcoal briquet. We both had tackle boxes to carry are supplies. Different concoctions were tamped into a small container ( preferably not glass). The fuse came from the hobby shop, it was normally used for lighting model rockets, and it was water proof. A book of matches and your ready to go! We blew out the side of my aunt and uncle’s metal shed. Oh yeah, it was really loud!

___fLowERS 4 h0Tf0Rw0rdS__ :smile:

this should answer your question.

you’re talking about nouns.
let’s see. (grammatical) case is not marked on english nouns (except for some pronouns), their inflection system is very weak.
the russian inflection system is very strong with six cases.
in german, there’s four.

so i guess you’d have to learn how to decline nouns in each and every language.

it gets worse with adjectives.
“russian” in russian is, iirc, “русский”.
but, “i speak russian” is something like “я говорю по-русски”.
in russian, the basic form differs from the form used in the sentence above which is not the case in english.

also, english doesn’t have grammatical gender on its nouns, adjectives etc. russian does. they got three genders.
there are, however, languages with a lot more genders. don’t make me look that shit up, some african languages have like 19 genders or something. i remember this morphology lecture; in the lecturer’s script, there was a side comment that in language so-and-so there’s a gender that contains fire, dangerous things and women. that, he said, is an example of a gender class with elements that don’t necessarily have a semantic connection.
i disagreed.;)

Hi rijk
This new commenting system allows annonymous.
If you logged into the HFW site as you normally do, then I think Marina is still connecting things. The reason for my gravatar is cause I can log in either via Twitter (see my gravatar -w Twitter logo) or I can log in using the new IntenseDebate.com site.

Yet another use for square brackets.

Helllloooooo aLx.

I was gonna reply on your multi gender thingie.
So, on application forms, they used to ask for Sex:
Of course my answer is several times a day.
Then, they changed to Gender:
You mean I can now answer, "fire"?

oh oke. thanks pk

i am logged on to the site. but it sees me as a guest now.
check spelling just deleted my message
hope she gets it working the way she wants it to.

This new commenting system is megga awesome, rijk.
With the little bit of time that Marina has worked on this, it is coming along great and I'm sure that she will have it working perfectly. Lots of great new features.

Hello,
I better test this out then
:)

yo, karl.

grammatical gender –> genus.
biological gender –> sexus.

they should've kept "sex", i guess. there are those gender study thingies. i'm not sure but "gender" is not synonym to "sex" — it's also got other components, like, social and such.

hm. they asked for sex?D: did you give it to them?:O

anyway. i asked this before but apparently no one felt obliged to fucking answer me. so, will i always be a guest if i don't register with intensedebate? that'd be really uncool. i checked usernames there:
aLx? — already exists.
alex? — already exists.
äläx? — only letters a – z and numbers allowed.

i want my name back.:(
and, quite frankly, i don't want to have to register with another site to be able to post as a non-guest. that's really fucked up.

Question is where did my avatar go
I signed up for the hotforword's site without any obligation towards becoming a member of anything besides that, so now it's the "let's see how it goes then from here" & avatar question to a TA or whomever since I don't care for inconvienence and really don't care to bother rating comments with thumbs up or thumbs down nor do I desire that I be graded for commentary either.
Just have to see how things go then.
Thanks.

Wow!!! This new commenting thing is intensely awesome!

Shizzle, my nizzle!

Hey leonard, Looks like I'll be here 24/7
I'm never gonna get any sleep now. :)
This site rocks.

Hey GP,
Marina is still working on configuring the new commenting system.
I don't know all of the details as she is megga busy with getting this thing configured.
My guess is that she may keep the HFW site login and the other logins, such as Twitter, OpenId, etc are auxilliary which will enhance the site. In other words, it will allow others to comment without having an account here. Just guessing at the moment, so stay tuned for the details as Marina tweaks things.

Right Karl

That's why I'm not pressing the matter

just commenting

Thanks again.

I don't know the answer yet as Marina is feverishly tweaking things.
My guess is that the old HFW site credentials will stay in place? Just a guess.
The new credentials for logging in using Twitter, OpenId, etc. is great for people that don't already have an account here. We'll have to stay tuned as Marina gets things tweaked.

Thanks on that gender/sex thing. That's interesting stuff.

Oh

BTW

fuck the thumbs rating system with a crooked and sharply pointed hooked stick

think she will pk, but when she does i'll be -_- zzzzz

Whooo Hooo!!!
I beat Marina. I've got more than 15p's Hooray!!! LOL

man, the comment link on the dashboard is gone. i take that as a bad sign. that was always really helpful.D:

Test

passed, i suppose. you gonna do an in extenso post as for how this works?D:

The gravatar is linked to the email — if the email you entered to make the comment is the same as the one provided to the HFW site then your gravatar should show up (it does for me: I'm guest but the email address is the same).

yo marina! you should do your word origins in english and then teach us how to say the word in russian.

Just so you regulars know-

Thumbing comments will bring unwanted conflict here for many

I'm used to it over at other sites where tongues have been known to wag and drop rabid spitial in vitrolous condemnation

However,..

There are both pro's and con's to rating comments so it's not like it is a complete wash out, it's just sad it had to come to this

Yet for me I've already begun to bask in the amusement for merely stating this tid bit into comment so let the fun begin

Hey GP,
you may have a point. Marina had the thumbs system here last year for a few days. I think it was removed due to slwoing things down, and not any negative impact on it's use.

I think many people asked for the thumbs last year since there had been some, I'll call it misunderstandings by some trolls, and some people felt that the thumbs would be a way to express an opinion without getting beaten up. Many people that were beaten up by some trolls left this site. So, I can understand your point and I guess we'll see how it works.

[youtube xorNjvg1B48 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xorNjvg1B48 youtube]

I can turn the comment rating thing off.. I'm just trying out all the different options right now. We'll see how it goes.

I'm trying out a new comment system that allows people to comment via all the various systems like Twitter, Facebook, etc…. though I haven't figured out how to bring my user list into the equation. If you guys really hate this new system I can go back to the old system any time… just say the word and voila.. back to the old system.

Yeahhh!!!!

I asked ID about (1) them recognizing prior WP subscribers, and (2) issue arising from the fact that they use a different html #comment_tag than what WP uses — an example of the issue is that links in the Recent Comments box are no longer valid: permalink for the comment I am replying to ends in /#IDComment47709849 but WP says it should end in /comment-page-1/#comment-162576 or in /#comment-162576 (I think "comment-page-1" is optional).

In the spirit of the Christmas season, I am requesting the word [Krampas]. He is apparently an evil demon and the anti-Santa Claus that they have in Europe.

I like the features, the aesthetics and the ways of connection.
Though I also liked being able to come in here and just start commenting, without having to log in every time. And the "new comments on top" thing also appealed to me. :-)
Make a poll Marina! Now you can do that easily. :D

well, okay, one good thing is that there more levels of replies.
if it would work with the old hfw usernames … that'd be cool.
look at my gravatar, man. the twitter symbol covers the turd. lol. goddamnit. that's not how it was supposed to look like.
yeah, and, as i said above, aLx, alex or äläx don't work with intensedeflate, and i don't really want to have to register there anyway.

Twitter comment.
I wish It would remember my email already. :P

Unable to edit.
If I want to subscribe to replies, I need to write e-mail address.

If you are gonna kill it, make sure I've got you beat in p's.
I think Leonard is gunning for me.
I'm leading in comments, and now I gotta get my p's up. LOL

Yest another thing to examine: reply threading is in reverse chronological order.

test for my buddy alax…[youtube BM-CzUvzk6w http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BM-CzUvzk6w youtube]<3

As it remembers the first line of the previous comment,(yes, it does that) it also remembers my mail address.
Spell checker: No writing errors were found, so that works too I guess.

Gravatar depends only on the email used http://www.hotforwords.com/2009/12/14/mischievous…

Oh, you can follow individual people's comments, under the form of a stream.
That's cool. This needs further testing.

It remembers the text you last entered in a reply. In case you delete the reply, and you decide to want to make that reply somewhere else, it will cut and paste for you.

Hey everyone. I'm Michael with IntenseDebate. Let me know if you have any questions about your shiny new comment system. I'm happy to help. B)

Thanks for stopping by (I'm GoForThisWorld on twitter). Some points:

1) In the upper right, there's a box titled "RECENT COMMENTS". It uses premalinks as generated by WordPress tags; but IntenseDebate displays comments using its own permalink; for example, your comment "Don't kill it!" has the ID link http://www.hotforwords.com/2009/12/14/mischievous… but the WordPress link is http://www.hotforwords.com/2009/12/14/mischievous… So now all the links in "RECENT COMMENTS" box are broken.

2) IntenseDebate doesn't seem to recognize that this site already has a bunch load of subscribers.

3) While composing a comment, if one scrolls and clicks the "show replies" button on another comment, then the comment entry box disappears permanently along with the partially typed comment.

Just testing

Thanks^_^

Why doesn't this system have a reply limiter?
Why doesn't it remember my e-mail address?
Why does it say "replying to anonymous" when replying to someone that commented while connected through twitter?
I wish we could all create an account that stores our personal info, so that we don't have to input it every time.
I wish I could be subscribed to replies by default.
I appreciate that you offered to help, I hope I didn't shock you with all the questions and suggestions. ^_^

Thanks in advance,
Chemikal

I made an account on intesedebate, I see now how this is an advantage.
I think you can obtain the same results if you have an openID account as well.
I still wish I was subscribed to replies by default.

The reply system remembers the first line of the previous reply, but only the first line.

I seem to be subscribed to replies by default. I wonder if that is a setting somewhere.

That is the correct affirmation. ^_^

It's Pat Haskett. I'M now just Pat. This is a test. I miss my purple monster. Will this stuff show up in our email? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pl3vxEudif8 I hoped this worked and I hope we can still do it. OK I'm pressing submit…=/

Hi Pat, ja get this message?[youtube SP67UGG2dLE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SP67UGG2dLE youtube]=/…do the [lyrics]…fire our guns B)

Thanks for your feedback.

1. We're currently syncing the WordPress account with the new HFW IntenseDebate account. There are a ton of comments to sync (over 158K) so it's taking some time. Once that's all synced up the widgets should sync-up as well.

Basically after the initial install, every time you post a comment we sync it back to the WordPress comment system and the HFW database. Then the comment will show up in the WordPress widget.

We do offer a bunch of our own widgets, which are faster since they don't have to sync with the HFW database first. Our widgets are available at http://intensedebate.com/extras . Hope that makes sense!

2. Currently user accounts aren't imported. This is something that we're working on.

3. We drop a cookie once you start typing a comment so you don't lose your work. But it doesn't happen instantly, so what you encountered might happen if the cookie isn't set. We'll take a look at this and see if we can speed up the process. Please make sure your web browser preferences are set to accept 3rd party cookies.

Continuing…

4) One reason — but not the only reason — for having all comments displayed on a single page is the help search the comments using the browser's search feature. But the page loads with threaded replies closed — so the browser cannot search within threads!

5) Another reason for having all comments displayed on one page is to minimize the number of clicks (avoid having to click through pages of comments). But if threaded replies load up closed, then one has to manually click to read comments — this is too much of a pain! So now instead of clicking pages, we are clicking "reply threads" — very bad thing!

I don't really like that replies are nested.
I know it increases performance, but that just takes away from the experience.

[polldaddy 2400867 http://answers.polldaddy.com/poll/2400867/ polldaddy]

1. I'm not sure what you mean by "reply limiter" – are you talking about all of the threads being collapsed? If that's what you mean, threaded replies will collapse once there are 100 parent comments on the page. This is done to ensure a fast load time, as well as improve navigation through the comment section. Pagination will also kick-in once there are over 100 comments. At the moment the auto-collapse cannot be disabled, but we're working to improve this since it has been a popular request.

2. Please make sure your web browser is set to accept 3rd party cookies. You can also create an IntenseDebate account at http://intensedebate.com/signup . There are a ton of perks to creating an account: you'll remain logged in so you won't have to enter in your info every time; you can keep track of all of your comments in your profile (see http://intensedebate.com/people/michael ); you can build your reputation score (that little number next to my name – rep. scores are determined by the number of comments I submit and the number of times they're voted up or down); and loads of other features.

3. Not sure what you mean. I see "Replying to @Chemikal". What web browser are you using?

4. If you create an IntenseDebate account you will automatically be subscribed to receive email notifications for all comments posted in response to your own. You can also reply to comments via email by responding to those email notifications (you can do that without an IntenseDebate account as well).

No shock at all! It's what I do. ;-) Let me know if you have other questions.

Well, I found that I need to make a intensedebate account, I think it works with openID as well.
The cookie works great, I'm now subscribed to replies by default.
Can you please give an example of another website of similar size that has successfully implemented this comment system?

I hear ya. All valid points and great feedback – we agree with you. We're working on this, but it will take some time. Sorry for the inconvenience.

D:

Email notifications stopped; attempting to restart them.

This has so many plus points, don't kill it. Nothing's worth going to jail.

why's my gravatar all blurry?

This setting is in your profile at http://intensedebate.com/edit-user-account . IntenseDebate users are subscribed to receive emails for replies to their comments by default.

You can also hook-in all of your other online accounts at http://intensedebate.com/edit-user-services . Lots of cool stuff in there, especially our twitter integrations: pull-in your latest tweet in your profile, and enter your twitter account info so you can tweet your comments when you post. Your latest tweets, blog URL's, description, etc. will show up when you hover your cursor over your avatar in the comment section (give mine a try). Oh and check out your public profile at http://intensedebate.com/people/hotforwords .

I'm typing very fast here… hope there aren't too many mistakes. After the Deadline is a lifesaver.

Now that's what I call Art.

nice pic.

The Obama Administration at Change.gov. :-)

Doesn't look blurry to me. Are you talking about how it's displayed in the comment section?

yeah. that's why my comments are never negative. i'm a deconstructivist, it's an art form.

1. By reply limiter I mean actually limiting the levels a reply one may add to a comment.
I tested this and got to the 30th level of replying to another reply, and everything is displayed wrongly at that level. See: http://www.hotforwords.com/2009/12/14/mischievous…

2. I've done that, thank you. I see the advantages now.

3. I'm using Firefox 3.5, but maybe that only happens if you try to reply to your own comment posted via Twitter.

Thank you for the answers, Michael. You got +1 from me, hehe :-)

Hey aLx, getting back to gender versus sex.
I get the definition difference, but what do you make of the politically correct labeling of objects that had been labeled using the sex references male and female?

For example, we used to say take the male end and stick it into the female end. All kinds of people were offended by that and then they started using terms like "gender changer" or "gender bender" and I think its now called plug and outlet or some such thing. Can't keep up with all of the politically correct terminology.

Then, on hard drives and other hardware, they did away with master-slave configuration and I think it is now called primary and secondary and maybe some other terminology.

yes. when i was logged in via twitter it wasn't blurry. jesus …

I like this system. :p It's very convenient. Don't kill it. I notice the site scrolls herky-jerky. The voting thingy (thumbs up, thumbs down) on the upper right sucks. It's so non-verbal and anonymous. People should use words to express themselves. After all, this isn't the Hotforthumbs website. o.0 I'm a little confused because I'm logged in but just below here it states, "Reply as a Guest, or login" and then boxes for name, email and website. And what does subscribe to 1] none 2] replies 3] all comment mean?

Hello Marina, I'm not able to log in either. It could be a good system once everyone gets use to it but I personally was just getting comfortable with the old one. It will turn out in the end!

1. By reply limiter I mean actually limiting the levels a reply one may add to a comment.The t from Twitter doesn't fit over the gravatar anymore! :-)

for gravatar comparison …

Whow, that's cool!

mhm.

All that is solved if you create an account at http://intensedebate.com

All that is solved if you create an account at http://intensedebate.com

My 2 cents — yes and yes. Especially the need to click to open threaded comments — which defeats the purpose of having all comments on one page — I even missed seeing this question you asked! Also, it does not recognize old subscriber base. These two points are not "bugs" but lack of features — and who know if and when such features will be supported.

Bug: Email notification worked for some time but is now dead.

Might or might not be a bug: RSS comment all feeds appears to be dropping comments — but might be a bug or this could be because of comment overload.

Yay, go PK go! :-)
Haha, +1 from me.
I wonder if in a week from now, Marina will be in the top commenter section.
Oh, we just might get detention for that.

One more issue, and reason to kill: The new recent comment box is essentially useless since clicking on a comment that is part of a threaded reply will not work — the thread is closed and so the link does not exist! Clicking does not open the thread and jump to the comment.

Thanks Chemikal.
Just gotta keep several steps ahead of Marina. LOL

yeah, that pc shit is weird. over there it's still worse, i think.
some time ago, they started to address males and females individually over here, like … they wouldn't say "studenten" anymore but "studentinnen und studenten". it gets worse. now they're saying "studierende", maybe because they get tired of using the longer phrase. but, "studierende" is a derivative of the present participle, "studierend". that doesn't really make sense. there can't be "schlafende studierende" because you can't be studying and sleeping at the same time. but of course it's possible to have "schlafende studenten", sleeping students.

hm. isn't there "primary master" and "primary slave" now? i thought so. no? oO

Hey Mike, I think the yellow means that you are following that person.
All of the people that I am following have yellow.
You are now yellow also as I started following you. B)

I think I am going to go back to my original comment system and revisit IntenseDebate when it can import my users and things like threaded comments are open by default, etc. I like the system and am looking forward to using it in the future! Is it OK if I kill the import now?

Thanks for considering the feedback. Another bad side effect of closing threads: the links to comments that are embedded inside a threaded comment block do not work. So the "jump to" links in the "Recent Comments" box that point to comments embedded within replies do not work — even if they use ID's tag (I think the widget being used now is from ID's site).

Bug?: I subscribed to comments, and used to get email notification. But that has stopped.

Hi Pat. I'm happy to help with the transition. You can create an account at http://instensedebate.com/signup . Let me know if you have any questions. :-)

yes!

umm. what happened to the gravatars? oh man … :/

The nesting experiment seem rather short lived.

OK.. we are back to normal comments. I like where IntenseDebate is going.. it will be a great system shortly.. they are owned by WordPress so they will work well with WordPress… I just want to wait until they are able to import you guys without you having to register again.

I loved that thing. I was just starting to beat you in p’s again.
Remember CoComment last year?
I visit there once in awhile for good time sake.
This IntenseDebate thing is like on massive drugs. Really like it.

Ah Marina. You gave into Alex. (JK) I don’t blame you for trying something different. With my eye sight I can see the smileys now. lol Don’t give up they will get it fixed to work better with Word Press. :smile:

I, of course liked the dread lock guy. :smile: Glad to be back home. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3trTNfqvcww

we still use the sex issue in the FD. The male end of the fire hose is the end with the threads on the outside, where the female is just the opposite. All of our appliances or hose connectors are sexed the same way like a double female or a double male. Just like the fire department connections on the side of a building are a double female connectors. The female connector on the hose has a higbee cut. It is a notch cut out of one of the tightening lugs to let you know where the threads inside of the female coupling begin so you can line up the male and female ends in the dark or inside of a smokey building. Fire departments are slow to change when it comes to sexes. lol

OHHHHHH, NOOOOOO! Will we have to go over a new site design all over again? You are hurting my head.

It doesn’t. Actually, I think the phenomenon I’m describing applies to Czech females. In America, the first name often takes a female form of the male first name. In Czech, the family name (last name) gets [ova] added to it. For example, Paulina Porizkova’s father would have a last name of Porizk, as would her brothers. That part I’m pretty sure about. I’m just asking if Hot For Words knows the origin of this custom.

here’s what i had in mind: they just mark the female gender by adding -a.
like, gorbachev’s wife was born титаренко. after they got married, her last name changed to горбачёва.
the last name of putin’s wife (and his daughters) is путина.

so, i don’t know. maybe in czech you add “-ova”, in russian just “-a”?

Hi Damiana,
Candy canes remind me of the red of your lips and the white of your teeth. :grin:

Ah, I see your line of thought! So for Marina, this question may have something to do with her family name, be it “Orl” or “Orlov”. And so there may be another facet to this gender effect on the last name, if it it also done with Russian names. Perhaps Polish, too, as their culture and language is much closer to the Czech heritage.

I see that you did the word beer but was wondering if you can look where [brewski] came from or how it became slang for beer.

OK, so never mind the whole article. Two Welsh dudes tried to blow up Prince Charles’ train & accidentally blew themselves up, the Free Wales Army tried to seize Caernarfon Castle and got thwarted by MI5, and the alleged Meibion Glyndwr plot to kidnap Prince Charles was a publicity hoax.

think it was, it’s the only one i know off.

but now we don’t have the foodfight i’m stuck with a box of tomatoes ~smirk~

that’s funny äläx : )

I’d love a section on the website where I can view and read the most interesting or funny comments, so marked by other users.
The thumb mechanism might allow you to implement that.
That would really just make my day.
Or maybe have the ability to set up a viewing feature based on the thumb score criteria, on every lesson.
It would also bring a YouTuby feel to the comments.

Well at least you didn’t try to install Disqus. I would have left for sure. I found some ad blocking software has Disqus in the black list. It even messed up my browser. I had to block it when I visit Mashable.

I tried IntenseDebate in the past, but found it was very buggy. One Seattle news site used it for about 6 months then deleted it.

When I find a new tool, I like to google for negative articles to see how many people blogged about a tool. With ID I only found two blog posts.

http://wphackr.com/got-rid-of-intensedebate/
and
http://www.40tech.com/2009/09/27/blog-comment-system-shootout-disqus-vs-intense-debate-vs-js-kit-echo/

So that’s a good thing. Very few posts and issues that sound like might be taken care of by now, or at least they are next on the list. It looks promising.

Yea, it would be a good idea not to install until you can import everyone in. You would loose to many people.

I hated CoComment. That was a nightmare! :x I never ever want to hear that name ever again. All they could focused on was that it looked good. The navigation was a nightmare. It was a pretty face but nothing between the ears. Sounds like a typical Hollywood actor/actress would build. :|

Sorry about taking ages.. Here is a link to my post http://www.hotforwords.com/forums/topic/the-sentence-game#post-594

What is this intesnedebate thing about? I have never heard of it? Is it on here now?

Marina, I dont know what this is.. But I saw 400 comments and knew something must be going on.. My last comment went on super fast…

I don’t think it is neccessary to intergrate twitter into your website at all. What happens in a few years time when everyone stop tweeting?? Keep it real girl!

It’s an advanced comment plugin. Marina removed it for it was causing some issues. Also everyone would have to recreate their accounts. She is going to wait until they allow importing of existing students.

Thanks :)

I was trying to integrate a system where people could comment by logging in with their Twitter account, or their Facebook, etc. I wanted a way that I could award top commenters. I wanted my Tweets and Facebook posts to appear on my site as regular comments (or posts) and to allow people to talk to eachother whether they are here or on other networks.

I thought I had found such a system…. but it wasn’t ready for prime time yet.

Have you done something to make things faster though? Comments are going on here at lightning speed.

I don’t think twitter will go away but will be replaced by some thing much better. Twitter is really so old school now. Barry Diller and John Malone (two big wigs in the pre-internet world) proclaimed that twitter would never make very much money. I totally agree with that statement. I feel that they don’t want to make any money from it. Just enough to keep the business running. In a way I highly respect that. You know, how much is enough money? Or the owners are just delusional.

I’m also thinking twitter is mostly used for older people. Not many teens are on it by comparison.

[Fred]

as in: “Barack Obama wins the Nobel Fredspriset :???:

(Was the prize named after al-Fred Nobel?) :roll:

In 1066 both the Vikings and the French invaded England. If the Vikings had won, would we be singing “Fred on earth, goodwill to men”? :shock:

Fred be with you!

Oh gee no, Evan. If the Vikings had won, you would probably be plundering most of the planet’s natural resources today, while religiously singing some nordic hip-hop business anthem.

This myspace thing I found is huge.. Thank fuck I am not a stalker because I could pretty much find anyones address

LOL I HAVE IT!! The most mischievous thing I have done is find loads of celebs addresses out.

Where is big ben at 2:12?

You hang out with a rough crowd there Marina.

Homework strike!

That’s grossly unfair to the Vikings. It assumes that because the Vikings plundered small towns and monastaries for loot and slaves, that they would plunder the environment. I’m not saying that the Vikings wouldn’t have eventually become plunderers of the environment, but nothing about them suggests that they would have done so, more than any other group.

Quid? Grossly unfair, eh?

Blimey! You may be right, muggins. The Vikings destroyers of the environment? What a crazy idea. When you’re looking for gold and slaves, there’s nothing to suggest that you’ll eventually become a plunderer of the environment, right? You think well, muggins. I can’t believe I allowed myself to fall for such a bloody chiasmatic stereotype. The Vikings destroying the environment, what a spoofy figure of style… Where do I get these freaky ideas from, I ask myself and I don’t know.

Well, it’s friday evening. What have we got here. A new moon that we can’t see, a big city that we can see, bloody hell, this mixes just like a 12 pack of Red Bull and a bottle of booze! Gotta go! Hasta la vista bambinos! I’ll be back!!

Wow, so you are joining Rijk in the homework strike.
I can’t have Marina subscribe to me and be my friend.
You know, one thing will lead to another.
(Leonard inserts song here)
Being friends means we’ll have to get married
Then, we’ll have to have 10 or 12 children.
Then, we’ll be happily married for 20 years.
You and Rijk will hit up on our daughters and we’ll have to have a May-Dec wedding and I’ll have to call you guys, son. Then, you and Rijk will want to move in with us. Before you know it, we’ll be divorced and I’ll have to move in with you or Rijk. Then, we’ll find out we can’t live without each other and we’ll have to get married for a second time and we all live happily ever after.

Wow, this is all so complicated just cause you want Marina to be a subscriber and a friend? You sure you want to be related to me? It’s all so complex.

Well, OK, maybe on second thoughts, I’ll think about it, as long as we can keep it in the family. :lol:

Forgive me, too, for thinking that you would accuse my ancestors, who only innocently raped and pillaged…(and murdered indiscriminately during invasions here and there), of being certain destroyers of the environment if only they had more longevity in the course of history. Say there….if the Vikings faded away, then who was it, who is that group of people, whom we can blame for plundering of our environment? Yessir, plundering and fouling the land, sky and waters from Vladivostok to the Mono Lake?. Because surely it’s one group of people, and the rest of us are innocent.

So, it’s ok to beat somebody? is fhat heroism, would u like, that somebody beat up you? will u enjoy it?

I always hate fuckers ,like guy from your story, particularry back home, and ALWAYS beat the shit ouy of THEM.

The most mischievous thing I ever did was convince a friend he had a kid.

yeah, thanks! : )

lol, i’ll help you PK

marina this is from pedanticKarl to you <3

Hey cj, it happened again. got a reply of D (comment 162801) but it’s not in the recent comments nor is it on the site.

had this yesterday as well with comment 162520.
got the one form D at 10.26 and the same one at 12.43 and then it was on the site and showed up in the recent comments, but not as the last posted, but like it had been posted at 10.26

hope the comment-numbers help to solve / trace it

Thanks for the feed back. Yes, the comment numbers do help. :smile:

The reason is the size of her comments. You guys both are making very long comment with lots of links. The system is programmed to kick those out. I think the system believes those comments are related to spamming or troll activity. Also large post like this slow down the load times for the other students trying to catch up on the lessons. Also people google older pages for research and we don’t want them to get to burden having to pour over comments not related to the post.

Your comments would be better suited for the forums. I would appreciate it if you take your discussions to the forums. There are very little restrictions there and you can do much more, i.e. post photos. The forums were create at the request of the student body to have a place to communicate without cluttering up the lessons. :smile:

If you need any help with using the forums please let me know.

Hmm, i don’t really like the forum. it has a different feel than the site.
besides we are in an old word, and most activity is done in the new words / video’s and we aren’t cluttering up that.

I understand you don’t like the feel of the forums. I don’t either, but that’s what we have to work with right now. I am looking into some new forum software that Marina might like. It will make the forums very enjoyable to use.

Its and old word to you but we get many views on that page because of the content. Yes comment activity is on the new words, but your not aware of the view counts we get on older pages. There are many more viewer than commentators. You would be shocked at the numbers. Just like any other website ie popular news sites. There are just a few comments but over 100, 000 viewers reading the pages.

You guys need to make your comments shorter or move them to the forums. Your choice. Don’t get me wrong. We really want your comments. It’s just you need to break them up or move them.

I posted a comment on number 404 and was wondering if the server was having issues. :shock: It kind of freaked me out at first. :smile:

i understand, it’s the size and or the amount of links.

just curious, is sexual word getting more hits now?

Wow, I’m friends with HotForWords now.
Now what am I gonna do?
I’m in big trouble now, but it will
be worth it. Ok, you guys will have
to do your homework now. :-)

Hey fglrx, I’m friends with HotForWords
now. It’s safe to do your homework now. :-)

@neuroway 116.1
And this differs how, exactly, from the way things are now? :razz:

This word has a fun history involving a large-breasted Frenchwoman. :grin:

Life becons…but I do so love just watching you adoringly, Marina.

До свиданя!

yeah we did it : )

CONgraduLation…it is :cool: soul-so-not solo :smile: :lol:

W00t! we did it!
she just hadn’t come around it and had forgotten it, we just reminded her.
now we have lost this excuse to do our homework, but you have got a real challenge.

Marina, from pedanticKarl to you

How is the band?….Don’t take life too seriously – we’re not getting out alive.PedanticKarl’s Channel…friends are pay-offs and show offs are paid up…. :roll: :smile: ;-)

Thank you Marina for the sub & friend,
which made Rijk very happy which
makes me happy. fglrx should be
here any moment now, a happy camper. :-)
If you guys need help with homework,
just hit me up.

Hello I have just I have a pretty good word request. I think you should look up the word Improv! :razz: It is almost like a russki word :grin:

lol leonard, think there is a book in there, maybe even a movie had that same idea about a month ago : )

Marina,

Could you please find out why it is that we can say something is [out of whack], but we can never say that something is “in whack”? What does whack mean and how come it is only out and never in?

Regards,
Teilo

(pronounced tie-low)

hi, rijk (and jack).

why don’t you like the forum?

what ever forum we got on here, it will always have “a different feel” than the lessons because it’s the forum and not the lessons.

here’s a quote:

It’s good for you! It’s like vegetables when you were a kid.. you hated them but they were good for you!

haha.:P

Yes me happy,

hmm, you eighter have a stalker fan, ore somebody loved that jacket a lot more than you did. haven’t seen it here.
lol, try to blow up the king in 1605 and show a picture of dynamite.
ok homework what should i take, i’m gonna go for the time i was about 9 we were on holiday. my parents were talking to the neighbors and it took ages, so i started pushing the car out of the garage, but after the garage it was all down hill, and the car wasn’t on the handbrake.
so i pushed it and out came the car, with me hanging on the front bumper trying to slow it down. my mom and dad stopped the car and than my dad put hi foot behind the rear wheel an mom put on the handbrake. i didn’t get punished, the metal bumper had left a big mark in my hands and they could see it had effected me, so the only thing i got to hear was don’t do it again.
hmm the ball…., they rolled it.

Who knows? You paint your life the way you like it, untill you go too far and cross the borders of someone else’s life. Then, it’s usually the strongest colour who becomes dominant. But domination is quite a fragile and short lived hubris, and it fades away just like the rotting fruit it is.

“Danger can only be overcome by more danger.”
– Greek proverb

lol : D

the forum is like being on a stage and the lesson has a semi-private feel.

to me anyway :?

can somebody delete that extra e in there

is your first name Teddy?

How expensive would that be? You would need at least eight girls to make a complete ring. Maybe nine. Don’t know the hourly rate but you could get into some real money…. ;-)

I did a lot of mischievous tricks when I was a teenager, always in the way that nobody knew who did it. For example in school, I blew up a toilet bowl with a bundle of bangers (I constructed a little “time bomb”, it exploded at night when nobody was there), caused a short-circuit in the main switchgear in the building near before an important school ceremony, poured a fake blood in a corridor or I substituted messages on a bulletin board with a spoof information. I performed everything “behind the scene” and I was never suspected about that jokes, many other people was. I was even always receiving very good conduct grades at the end of semesters. :mrgreen:

I think the most mischievous thing happened when I tried to protest against the Serbian invasion in Kosovo (that was about 1998, so I might be 15 y.o.). Someday when I took a crap in the morning, I didn’t simply flush the water, but I put the sh*t into a parcel that I prepared in the way that if somebody opened it, the excrements leaked out. Then I sent it to the address of the embassy of Yugoslavia. It was in December, the time before Christmas, I’d rather not think what would’ve happened if it had leaked in the mailbox and some people received such scented postcards for Christmas. :oops:

Thanks Marina for subscribing to and befriending on YouTube your such devoted (I venture to say the most devoted to you) TA pedanticKarl :)

No. You have five minutes only to edit, after that your life is irretrievably ruined.

It is short for improvise, improvisation, improvisational, etc.

What kind of addresses?

I also feel that the forum is just “not right.” Or at least less “not right” than the blogs. Perhaps it is simply because it is removed from the blogs, which for the current lesson is one place to look, whereas the forums are scattered all about many topics in four categories.* In order for the forum to be as efficient to the readers as the blogs are, a great many changes would be needed to allow us to re-organize the forum material, weed out outdated material, update old material needing it, edit standing (permanantly-important) messages at any time and so forth. I have the feeling that M is not interested in this and that it will never get done. So, the forum stays the way it is, it will be uninviting, thus sending people (or trying to) to the forum is futile. You can try to herd cats, but cats will still be cats; if a more cat-friendly place is provided, they will go there on their own.

If I had my druthers, I would provide a way for a user to sort the comments in a blog. For example, if a user wishes to read the comments that are directly related to the lesson, there should be a way to filter them that way. Perhaps a related/unrelated selection could allow authors (or anyone? a TA?) to tag comments that users could later use to search by. Or the comments could be rated: 1 = Directly related to the philology, 2 = The lesson’s homework, or 3 = Something else. That would solve the problem of a blog being too long for those looking at old lessons. As we can’t even get the comment numbering to be visible as it once was, I’m not holding my breath.

Ifthere are limits on msg size or contents, these should be clearly expressed to the users. I hate “mystery rules;” it leads to unnecessary hacking by the curious. And I hope everyone is curious.

Finally, if this msg is too full of crap unrelated material for later lesson readers, they should go to the forum and complain about it. Whatever they do, they should not complain about it here, because that would just add to the unrelated material in the blog, and, furthermore, posting in the forum has the added benefit of me not having to see it. :lol:

———
*How is one to keep up with things without reading every single blasted forum topic? One can’t, so I don’t bother. This is further aggravated by the organization of categories, which could be greatly improved (Sorry, Marina). (I commented on that when it first started, but, just as an exercise, try to go back and find that comment. It’s very discouraging.) And it is further, further aggravated by the latest msg being buryied on the last page of the topic, requiring the user to, instead of merely clicking the topic to se what is new, navigate to the end of it. (Some people like it that way, but am not one of them. Try it at GasBuddy to see how they do it. I’ve been there for 2 years and it seems perfectly natural.)

Icrap: “There’s an app for it!”

Hey, wait a minute! She said, “If you see anyone wearing it, I’ll send you a reward.” You are not actually required to tell M where you saw it or who was wearing it. (M needs to vet her offers with her famous lawyer buddy?)

Whats with hotforwords.org?

irretrievably ruined. lol : )

Now, if we could just figure out how the human brain logs, tags, and retreives things !

Hahaha, it says I don’t have permission to edit my own comment !

Anyway, this was supposed to go into a thread 1/3 the way down the page, about how this comment thread works like how our brains work, or unsuccessfully tries to !

I remember last New Years they said that it would be the last year the Times Square Ball would ever be used. Anyone else remember that? So perhaps that is why last years Ball is at the tequila party ! It’s History ! lol

As it’s a new decade too, something totally new is likely in order, or may I dare to say in New Order (as in New World Order !).

And another thing ! (not to shout like an angry spouse at their better half, but ! )
Guy Fawkes was a patsy [patsy], which means he was the ‘fall guy’ for the plot, which actually was a ‘false flag operation’, in that the ‘gunpowder’ wasn’t actually gunpowder (in this moment I forget what Webster G. Tarpley said it was), and two of the supposed ‘plotters’ were actually ‘undercover agents’ for the Prime Minister who was actually the one who orchestrated the entire affair in order to curry favor with the King by supposedly saving him from the plot ! (somewhat convoluted, but that’s the way ‘Power’ operates !)

After you post, you have only a five-minute edit window to fix things. The time remaining is displayed next to the Click to Edit button. If you are in the edit screen and you go past the time, you get the message you got.

In effect, WhyPark has created a second, free Website for M. However, if they sell the URL, it will have to be watched to see if they are doing good or evil with it. As Hotforwords is a registered trademark, it can be petitioned to kill the URL if desired.

Hey your Too Hot for words great video babe,hope your over the jacket now, this is just a big up and big hug from SEO Girl have a blast looking forward to seeing more of your videos annd being enlightened. Thanks again

Hi, how do I delete my account?

Thanks Samuel. :cry:

Awww why do you want to do that? :cry: Do you just want to not have email alerts sent to you? In which case that is in your profile settings.

Talk about it. Maybe we can make you feel better.

If you delete your account…
nothing happens except someone-else / anyone-else can get your user name. — yep
The smart thing to do is try and stick it out, make the best of situation and keep hoping.

Marina, how about you and your sister perform some mischievous act upon each other? It will be entertaining.

ok

watch the “messe”!
