Bargain

Hi!! :grin:

Sweetheart, it is always a bargain to learn from you.
Hey, sweetheart, that’s a word to investigate!

I would love to dog fight you! Skip will tear you up! Oh wait, wrong kind of fight. ;-) I would normally be begging you to give me something, but not this time. I get motion sickness real easy and that wouldn’t be good for anybody. I could take Dramamine but that probably wouldn’t fight off the movement of a F-16. :sad:
I love this video! I was just saying to myself while watching the Poindexter vid, “I sure do like it when Marina does characters in her lessons.”
BOOM!, here it is! Thank you.
I dig it when you let yourself go with a character. Very cool :lol:

Damn!! I’m just about as far as you can get from L.A. and still be in the States – Cape Cod, Massachusetts. I would’ve LOVED to get in an F-16 Falcon simulator. Since I was a teen I’ve flown Microsoft’s Flight Simulator complete with yoke and rudder pedals. I’ve seen these Falcons roar at the speed of sound at air shows. An actual F-16 sim would’ve been wicked awesome! Damn! Damn! Damn! Damn! Damn!

My bargaining skills aren’t that great; it’s too hard for me to {feign} disinterest.

Ever hear this joke? He: “Would you sleep with me for a million dollars?”
She: “Of course.”
He: “You would? Great! Now that we’ve established what you are,
we can haggle about price.”

I’m afraid I won’t be in the running for the dogfight, Marina. L.A. is too far to go for that. I’ll just keep enjoying watching the F-16′s (?) scream across the skies from Beale AFB.

Forget William Shatner & Priceline! You’re a better bargain negotiator!

personally, i have absolutely no tolerance for dog fighting like the kind that stupid sports star was caught up in. it is one of the most horrible of all acts.

but this of course is different and i’m sure you and four lucky peeps will have a blast.

here’s to the return of the your other video character, i love the characters so much, you are hilarious when you play different people.

that also looks like a great shopping site, will definitely check it out, it is amazing what the power of the Internet allows people to do. i read about some people who are able to sell the entire stock of almost anything it seems simply by using Twitter. they negotiate for good prices with the vendor, send notice out to Twitter and in hours everything is sold and shipped, everybody wins. i forget the name, but it just goes to show, all anybody ever needs is the information connections and amazing things can happen. here’s to the Internet which is still in its infancy!!!

Also, GREAT WORK internationally Marina. it sounds like you are right at home in London. Perhaps it suits you better than LA? Bouncing back and forth between two places is a great way to go however, I bet you’d be quite good at it, the international diplomat that you already are.

And thanks again for all of your excellent lessons and inspiration. Your teachings, this site and my experience here has most certainly changed both my life and business direction immensely! I have learned so much from you on a variety of levels these past months. I almost can’t believe how much honestly. You opened the tiniest door for me in terms of language learning and it has become so huge for me. SO THANK YOU.

BEST REGARDS TO YOU AND EVERYONE AT HFWs!!!!!

justin

I’m in the LA area. Dog fighting in a sim F-16 sounds like an awesome fun thing to do. Don’t let the side pressure stick throw you off. I hope they have you recorded so we can see/hear your reactions.
I would also like to know, is it rabbit season or duck season??? :lol:

That sounds about the funnest prize yet.

Does the winner of the dog fight get a date?

I love your video on bargain!Your bugs bunny bargaining was funny lol!I loved your role playing as well!A F-16 Falcon simulator sounds awesome,but I live to far away from L.A.Thank you for asking anyway!My bargaining skills are no good at all.Thank you for all that you do for us Marina!Peace everyone :!: :cool: :smile: P.S. Good luck,and enjoy the four winners of the F-16 simulator!

:!: :!: Wow :!: :!: Yours truly had just been selected to participate in a online gaming study that is a Federally funded research project being conducted by Colorado State University, University at Albany, and Ohio University. For this research, they need to observe and record real people doing different things in spaces like Second Life, World of Warcraft, and Final Fantasy so that we can better understand what people do during their game play.
http://scribes.colostate.edu/aboutStudy.html

The applications are now closed but you can see a video of what this research study is about. http://scribes.colostate.edu/ Speaking of applications, my browser messed up and I and to do the app twice. Grrrr! But it must have answered the questions correctly.

What is Second Life? It’s an online virtual world simulator. It’s not a game per say (did I use the right words?), but you can do many things with it. Even make millions of real dollars. Someday I plan to teach classes in the simulator. It will revolutionize online education the likes that have never been seen before in my industry. Go check it out. http://www.secondlife.com/

I’ll see about taking some photos of my progress in the study for you all to see. Oh and my avatar looks just like me in Real life. I wear an all white captains outfit!

My bargaining skills freeking ROCK!! But you’ll never find out how great, i’m very expensive! I have always acted for my clients in the past, do them proud, hated by the buyers! Now, I’m selling for my self, and loving it making buyers happy too, which is even better than before. Love to haggle, hustle and dance for the win of a deal, at a very reasonable price! Shallow as hell is some areas, but so rewarding doing for myself now :) Love to purchase, always ask for a discount and play aloof. Depends on who needs or wants it the most, desire out weighing the cost. Sold. Can’t flog a dead horse and why would you be interested in buying one? (…or being with one for that matter!!) (well, no, thinking about that, I know some burger joints who might pay a good price for a dead horse or two…ever notice how cats and dogs go missing in your area when a new take away opens?…all those lost posters springing up with Tibbles picture on them! Wan wice wiv daat? Some can sell or haggle some don’t as its not for them, they are better at doing other things, I guess. Certainly is a skill negotiating, can be learned however, it really comes down to you. Have also noticed how the best sales men/ women are of Gemini Zodiac origin too!! Went out on a reunion with some jingle jangles of past, 80% of us were under the twins sign….deffo something in that. Geminis get really depressed too but always land back on their feet :)…always!!!!! Also, dealing with many cultures is fascinating, but thats another story :)

If this re-opens, let me know please s have a friend who is an all day gamer and really needs to be paid for what he does. Bores the crap out of me but he loves it so worth a mention if you could be mindful. A game company would do very well with his skills as hes my age and played since he was a weener, so years of experience. He gets through games real quick too. I would go as far as saying he has a talent for it.

:smile: Buy me stuff :!:

:| Gee, had a joke for ya, how did it go again(?) Oh well. It had something to do with Snoopy, F-16 fighter jets and “doggy style” as the punchline

I will Dog Fight you any day M, but only in a real F-16 ;)

Bring it!!

Heres one from i love quotes page… A duck was about to cross the road when a chicken came running up and said… “Don’t do it man … you will never here the end of it!”…sorry, nothing to with the lesson but…well, you know! :)

That Bugs Bunny bargaining was funny.
Bargaining, or haggling or dicker skills
are interesting and have changed
over the years as the world has become
smaller. It’s not what it used to be.
Street merchants still expect one to
haggle over the price for a win win
result, but in the end the merchant wins.
I think in the end it comes down to
value versus price.

Hey that sounds like fun how does it work and what do I do does it cost anything? and are you still in London? :cool:

:twisted: I’ll give you an option on new English…old English and a bunch of dog fights…smell like Los Angels…

I got no skills

:cry: Cat-FigHt

I’ll give you my stuff for a rabbit with a cotton tail; and you wash my back! {BINGO} :lol: The armed man lost his grip….the punch line was drawn and pistol wHipped :P

I don’t have good bargaining skills. I get easily distract….

:o beat da heat, it’s car wash tyme Khia – My Neck, My Back

lickit

Does Santa Monica count as “in” the Los Angeles area?? :grin:

I successfully bargained for a machete from a Dominican pirate, and a sword from an Egyptian Bazaar :shock: :!:

The dogfighting sounds fun, I’m about 1 hour from LA :mrgreen:

:razz: cat fight haha

I’m only getting $5,000 Linden for it. Which works out to be like $20 bucks US. Though it’s better than paying $20 bucks LOL!! One reason I like SL is that you can play for free or you can put in a few bucks and get a few things.

I agree with you about how gaming is so freaking boring. But that’s where SL is sooo much different. It’s like 100 games all rolled up into one simulator. One way to look at the simulator is think of it as a Holodeck in Star Trek. That’s what SL is all about. :mrgreen:

I think they might have some openings next month according to the site. They emailed me some stuff that I have to read up on. This is one lab rat that plans on kicking some ass. Oh wait.. Its a thinking game. hummm Ok Im still going to kick some ass. hahah.

Do note that they were looking for a select few groups of people. This is a study on how people play online games. They are going to be connecting monitoring equipment to my avatar and track all it says and does. Mostly how I interact with other players. It just as well be a game of tic tac toe. Solving the puzzle quickly is not the goal here. From the questions they asked me was about team work. That said the questions changed depending how you answered the last ones.

The best thing for him to do is play SL and get familar with it. I’ve been playing for 3+ years now. I’ve even helped debug and trouble shoot problems. They can see that Im heavily involved with the simulators success.

Hope that helps :)

Hey Marina, my last name is Chance, just like in the phrase “Take a chance.” I was wondering, first, where did this phrase come from, and second, how did it ever become a name?

These Comrades will bargain :oops: Da http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/37982175/ns/us_news-security/ass drivers are coming! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNremK0cBEg Hang on Snoopy, :lol: Snoopy Hang on :lol: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrcA6j-GRE8&feature=related

PedanticKarl lives in Orange County, which belongs to the Greater Los Angeles Area. Plus he deserves a reward for being such a devoted Teacher’s Assistant for years.

Karl did so much for Marina and for the development of this site, and of course meets the place of residence criteria, so justice demands he should be one of the selected people. How come he never had an opportunity to meet Marina in person? Everyone who supports this idea, please leave the comment below. Vox populi, vox Dei.
:!:

How do I bargain?
I knock on wood three times and say udachi. :grin:
Excellent lesson on good luck Marina.

Cats are happier on catnip!

Something for @gunju221 PaparazziKid and his colony of cats.

That reminded me of a joke, although politically incorrect:

“Ok, we have Obama, but we had also Stevie Wonder, Bob Hope and Johnny Cash”, said American.
“We have Putin and… no wonder, no hope, no cash”, answered Russian.

Marina, it seems that you should know more about the MiG-29 than the F-16.

This lesson felt more like a commercial – I guess it’s a lessomercial. :x

Here – Here!
I agree
Karl, put on on your Oh S@*T! boots, you’re goin’ for a ride pal. :mrgreen:

Oh wait, its a F-16 simulator and not a real jet fighter plane?!?!
If thats the case I’d enjoy nothing more than to participate in a battle of willz and skillz through the skies above L.A. :cool: :grin:

Dear Marina,
My goodness, do you look good wearing flight goggles and imitating Snoopy in his Sopwith Camel fighting against the Red Baron! It would be great fun to play with you, but it takes me eight hours to drive to LA. (I really would enjoy playing with you, too! See, when you fly in the F-16 simulator, I’d like to be your seat cushion! Just sit in my lap and enjoy the thrill of flying the simulator, firing missiles, shooting the cannon and manuevering. I’d help you!) :mrgreen:
Am I a good bargainer? I have a C.P.M. designation. That’s Certified Purchasing Manager. Industry and government uses a formalized system of bargaining which can achieve great savings if it’s done properly. On the other hand, there are famous instances of paying $600 for an ordinary hammer! I think your Bugs Bunny system of bargaining would work better, sometimes! :razz:
Thank you for posting this video while you were away in London. I wish you a safe trip home to us in California! :mrgreen:
Seesixcm6

My bargaining skills are simple, research what you what buy, find the closest store thats selling what you what, ask the person behind the counter what their asking for the thing you want and at the same time they’re answering you pull out a big wad of cash in the exact amount you want to pay. Then ask them if they’ll take this much, however that much is. It works more than it doesn’t… funny how a stack of 100 dollar bills will change the game in an instant. :o

Hi Marina,

I would absolutely love to go dog fighting in an F-16 simulator. Pick me PLEASE…

Your newly signed up student

OK I am in Anaheim and I think you should pick me! :cool:

Marina,
I have been enjoying the World Cup these past couple weeks, but I have been plagued with a nagging question that I hope you can answer. You may have done this in a previous lesson, but it not, I would like to know why people in the USA call football “soccer”. How did football come to refer to the sport in the NFL and soccer come to mean the sport found in the US Soccer Federation?

http://www.hotforwords.com/2008/07/06/soccer/ ;-)

Hi Brian,
Many people have been asking that question in the last few weeks.
Marina did a video on the word soccer two years ago. At the following
link, I give an amplified response for the background of soccer and football.
I also provide links to Marina’s soccer video at this comment.
http://www.hotforwords.com/2010/06/15/newbie-dragon-oath-e3/#comment-178827

Ohhh nooooo.
Marina I vote for PageDoll to be the perfect candidate.
Hey, PD, Marina would sooooo kick my butt.
I’ve done the simulator once before.
It was a blast, but got my ass handed to me. :lol:

I also vote for fglrx, :grin: but you would have to fly
him over from Europe first.

what’s a dog fight ??!!

Super bargain~~~pleasure p lick lick lick :lol: I’ll pay you Tuesday… Kiss performing Lick It Up :smile: ~~the who–I’d gladly lose me to find you
I’d gladly give up all I had
To find you I’d suffer anything and be glad

I’d pay any price just to get you
I’d work all my life and I will
To win you I’d stand naked, stoned and stabbed

I’d call that a bargain
The best I ever had
The best I ever had

I can’t believe your last name is Newman…
http://www.hotforwords.com/2008/12/26/pedantickarl-is-the-new-ta/

One time something happened with one of my first comments and I was thinking of Seinfeld and the way Newman always foils jerry’s plans and jerry says (while making a fist) “…Newman.”

Now I know that everyone jumps in on any comment whenever they want so everything is cool. :cool:

Look at the time stamps above… I bet you started at 10:46 pm and you were probably writing to Brian and Leonard snuck one in as you were writing it.

When you saw that you probably said… “Newman” :mrgreen:

Very perceptive grаvìtуb○y :grin:
Yes, it took a lot longer for me to create my post
than leoNard’s. So, yes, that little bugger snuck
one in right under me. :lol:

You forgot to make the fist and say… “Newman” :mrgreen:

:lol:

i want a dog fight, with your dog gorbi !!! :lol:

My bargaining skills aren’t that great. One thing I’ve done though is flinch or act surprised at the seller’s first offer in which I have gotten them to lower their price one to two times off of the original offer.

I would love to have a dogfight with you Marina, but I’m not in the LA area. :sad:

No matter what price you pay, if the sales person is smiling when you leave…. guess who won ;-)

I actually recorded an updated version of the soccer lesson. I’ve already recorded it so I can’t include your name requesting it. Sorry about that!

Thanks CJ…. :smile:

No fair! Why do I need to live in LA to have a dogfight with you? :sad:

Marina, Good to know you were not one of the members of the Russian spy ring. :shock:

{Hiding in plain sight} ;-)

I was never good at bargaining. I foolishly trust people and believe that the price is the price. I do obsess and seek revenge if I find out I did get ripped off. If a price seems to good to be true it probably is not a good price or there are hidden costs. Desensitizing war games should probably be in the bargain basement.

You can fly here if you want.. but that seems like a lot of work!

I’ll tell you all one thing. I wouldn’t want to be moored in THIS Marina now.

There is a much simpler solution to “bargain”.
Break the word down into its components “bar” and “gain”. Since “bar” has several meanings we can easily eliminate a place to drink Vodka and a steel or iron rod. That leaves “prevent” or “prohibit” as the meaning for “bar”. “Gain” means to profit. So “bar-gain” means to prohibit someone else from making a profit off of you. Simple, Het?

You drive a hard bargan, Marina.

We learned this in school, for your Russian lessons:

{точка, точка, запятая,
минус, рожица кривая,
ухо, ухо, колпачок,
вышел ванья дурак}

Point, point, comma,
Minus, crooked curve,
Ear, ear, cap,
The fool has appeared Vanya

{Точка, точка, запятая,
вот и рожица кривая,
ручки, ножки, огуречек,
вот и вышел человечек}

And you draw a picture with each.

Were you Karl Neumann before changing the name in the USA?

A less interesting, but more important difference – every misunderstanding in this case in the different country (“Sorry, but what do you mean by restroom?”) may be dangerous for our pants:

http://separatedbyacommonlanguage.blogspot.com/2007/03/toilet.html
In AmE, toilet is used to refer to the porcelain receptacle for human waste, but not usually to the room in which it’s situated. It can refer to either in BrE. So, toilet is a perfectly usable word in AmE when one wants to refer to the fixture, as in I stood on the toilet in order to change the lightbulb. But one wouldn’t usually hear it in AmE in contexts in which is refers to the room, as in They were smoking in the girls’ toilet(s). For someone who associates that word only with the porcelain object, it seems a bit too personal to say Where’s the toilet?, since there’s no doubt that bodily functions will be involved if you’re asking for that porcelain object. On the other hand, asking for the room in which the toilet sits seems less personal, since there are lots of reasons to go to that room (e.g. to brush your teeth, get some toilet paper for blowing your nose, adjust your toupee…). So, one asks for the room, and no one is forced to contemplate bodily functions.

While/Whilst toilet is less taboo in BrE than in AmE, some people avoid it because it is déclassé* (or non-U, in BrE terms). The U (i.e. upper class) terms are lavatory (or lav for short) or loo. At school in the US, I was taught to ask to visit the lavatory. I can still recall my classmates’ and my confusion as to why the bathroom was called the laboratory. I can also recall Sister Helen’s exasperation with our insistence on saying labatory or labratory (the usual AmE pronunciation of laboratory).

Gee, what could just be the country we’re talking in this video, about, and, more important, who’s the despicable weakling who would accept to dogfight any woman?

Women are made to make you fly high. And not to make you dogfight low.

Anyways. Sometimes, Unicorns can kill dragons. And oh yes they can, and quite fiercely and efficiently. As true as I am here and I can type these words tonite. And here’s the Colbert’s, Louis XIV’s ageless proof of it.

Booster – Lick on Me

Butter… Butter… Butter on bread, butter on something else… Butter is soft stuff, anyways… :-)

Yes… this really bothers me.

And most of the damage you see now was actually started more than 2 months ago.
It’s like a slow acting poison with a lot more to come.

Anytime something gets huge and everyone uses it, like cars, oil, other major businesses and certain websites… it is ridiculous having idiots in control of them. They are not thinking of the people, they are only thinking of themselves.

Fly there to use a flight simulator? That’s not redundant… Or is it… I don’t know what it is. :mrgreen:

Dear Teacher,

I really got a kick out of your Bugs Bunny “duck season” bargaining skills. Also you still look great in a flight helmet and goggles. And a porkpie hat. And anything else I’ve seen you wear on your brainy (and pretty) little head.

I don’t like to spend a long time haggling. I start with my first price, negotiate one time to the price that I would pay, then walk away. Works often. If not, then I didn’t want it badly enough, or the seller didn’t want to sell it badly enough.

FHM, huh? oh my… Brit edition or USA edition? Wasn’t sure where you were when I read your Tweet. Congrats on the exposure, if you’ll pardon the pun. Seriously, it oughta bring in more viewers. Good for you, dear. Cya.

While bargaining, I may step on someone’s toe,
where I’ll say, Izvinitye pozhalujsta.

Excellent lesson on the phrase “excuse me” Marina.
I wonder how Steve Martin would say his tag line, “excuuuuuuse meeeee” in Russian.

I haveto admit that a picture would be nice, but if you use your head… it’s even better.

I don’t know if there’s an english expression, in germany we call it “Kopf-Kino”. It would roughly translate to head-cinema. Just close your eyes and see the image in your head. It’s not so good if someone says something you really don’t want to see (let’s say George W. naked. Or even better: George W. as president of the US of A), but with Marina… it could only be an scar Classic.

The Texas Wedding Test
@originalistrick ;-)

“I was a very happy man. My wonderful girlfriend and I had been dating for over a year, and so we decided to get married. There was only one little thing bothering me…It was her beautiful younger sister.

“My prospective sister-in-law was twenty-two, wore very tight mini-skirts, and generally was bra-less. She would regularly bend down when she was near me, and I always got more than a nice view. It had to be deliberate. Because she never did it when she was near anyone else.

“One day her ‘little’ sister called and asked me to come over to check the wedding invitations. She was alone when I arrived, and she whispered to me that she had feelings and desires for me that she couldn’t overcome. She told me that she wanted me just once before I got married and committed my life to her sister.

“Well, I was in total shock, and couldn’t say a word.

“She said, ‘I’m going upstairs to my bedroom, and if you want one last wild fling, just come up and get me.’

I was stunned and frozen in shock as I watched her go up the stairs. I stood there for a moment, then turned and made a beeline straight to the front door. I opened the door, and headed straight towards my car.

“Lord… And behold, my entire future family was standing outside, all clapping!

“With tears in his eyes, my father-in-law hugged me and said, ‘We are very happy that you have passed our little test. We couldn’t ask for a better man for our daughter. Welcome to the family.’

“And the moral of this story is:

“ Always keep your condoms in your car.” :mrgreen:

There’s one dude who almost got more than he bargained for! :oops:

Hey, I recognize that guy anywhere.
So, did these people rip off your story to create this commercial? :lol:

Marina, what is there to say sweetness? The three year journey seeing you go from nothing to the top has been amazing, so many congratulations to you again. Remembering when I joined looking at your web site with no one there commenting, with typing comments like ‘Come on, some one talk!’ and with only a hand full of subscribers, to where you are now, is fantastic. You have changed so much since then. The HFWs community are wonderful, lovely people, who have given you so much help to get you to where you are today. I hope you respect them and never forget that, as they surly love you. Remember who your true friends are and not the new money orientated community as they will abuse you.

I hope you also learn, soon, the Western ways of how to respect people as well as you have learn’t how to speak English too! If you treat and mislead people, messing with hearts and minds, saying you are sincere with their words of admiration, saying that you love them, don’t lead them up the garden path and take advantage of them. Tricking people, abusing their trust is very low and wins you no stars! I have never been to Russia, but Russian girlfriends here say it’s a lot different to how guys treat you girls out there. You may want to let that go!

It is so wrong to play peoples hearts as the way you have with mine, knowing, having told you so honestly how my feelings were for you over the years! Never said I was perfect and made a few, silly mistakes, joys of being human! Have fun by all means but please, don’t tell anyone you love them with sincerity, encouraging them with subliminal messages, giving hope that you actually care for them! I understand you are still a young girl with much to learn, so a good time now for you to grow up and become a woman. You are nearly thirty after all.

So many here are feeling very let down by you Marina, as they too watched with earnest seeing the dance we had. We all thought you were bigger than this, playing these games but believed in you, as you said to do. I’m not going to repeat some of the things being said, as they are just reacting protecting me. I have already forgiven you. You still are, to me, an amazing person and I thank you for showing me a little bit of magic and giving me hope. All be it a lie! You’re a good actress!! Shame you have to walk all over people in order to gain money and fame, but I guess that’s just good old show business for you!! Shall visit LA to see it for my self one day and no need to worry, I won’t be stalking, that is for certain! Not sorry for my tone here as obviously feeling very let down by you, so have every right in being so.

God bless you and all who sail in you. Be well, be good or what ever it is you want to be in your play for today. And good bye to all in HFWs, keep up the inspirations and dedication for Marina. Nice knowing you.

Love you all, Mat.

:???: :?:

Y’know, that’s the trouble with me not watching TV…I tell a story, and then people are like, “Dude! We know!” :lol:

(Can you tell I have teenage daughters?) ;-)

Shame on you, Marina! Olga Kay, who has never graduated from any English Studies, has a much better (in terms of native likeness) accent than you. Aren’t you envious?

Hi matalexwolf,
I can’t delete your account.
My recommendation is to leave the
account as is. Just remove or change
any of your personal information.
If and when you decide to return,
you can return to this account.
Leaving the account intact ensures
that no one else will recreate the
account and impersonate you.
I have enjoyed talking to you in the
past and have enjoyed reading your
comments. Take care my friend. ~ Karl

Moreover you can add the entry:

127.0.0.1 http://www.hotforwords.com

to the HOST file in your computer (if you are using Windows, you will find it in %SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc\).

Blocking the site may help you in your resolution to withdraw from it.

I was of course joking in the post above because I know that Marina donesn’t want to reduce her accent, as she uses it in her videos as a magnet for American men who think that a foreign accent in women is sexy or something.

HaHa! São Miguel! :lol: Na cidade de Ponta Delgada. Meus pais nasceram la. I wrote my parents were born in the city of Ponta Delgada and that they were born there. How in the world did you know I was Azorean, Evan? Oh wait, my profile. I speak Portuguese better than I can read it and read it better than I can write it.
Oh and “diabinha” literally means “little female devil”. It’s usually used as a term of endearment. But it can be used as an expletive, as in “Oh f*ck, goddamnit!”

But love, first learnèd in a lady’s eyes,
Lives not alone immurèd in the brain,
But, with the motion of all elements,
Courses as swift as thought in every power,
And gives to every power a double power,
Above their functions and their offices.
It adds a precious seeing to the eye;
A lover’s eyes will gaze an eagle blind;
A lover’s ears will hear the lowest sound,
When the suspicious head of theft is stopped:
Love’s feeling is more soft and sensible
Than are the tender horns of cockled snails:
Love’s tongue proves dainty Baccus gross in taste.
For valour, is not love a Hercules,
Still climbing trees in the Hesperides?
Subtle as Sphinx; as sweet and musical
As bright Apollo’s lute, strung with his hair;
And when Love speaks, the voice of all the gods
Makes heaven drowsy with the harmony.
Never durst poet touch a pen to write
Until his ink were tempered with Love’s sighs

Nevermind.

My father-in-law’s parents were from Pico. I remember a sign he had on the door of his study / office: “Reservado o dereito da admisaõ,” I believe. Clear enough, even if I only speak Spanish. ;-)

If you treat and mislead people, messing with hearts and minds, saying you are sincere with their words of admiration, saying that you love them

I can see it also from a different perspective: she is very good at marketing tricks and methods of psychological manipulation. She is a genius of psychological manipulation! And yes, I’m impressed of that in a positive meaning. This is a great asset in the contemporary business! If you know a lot about it, you have much fun observing how it works in practice.

So another Brit has gone away from the site. Who will be protecting the King’s English here? Although, I believe your decision is right. You really need a detox from HFW and it is sad that this site has hurt you so brutally.

I also think about deleting my account, because I’m so sick and tired of HFW and this website, but I will rather stay, as the comment section is the best place for me to keep developing my English writing skills in a non-hostile environment.

Oh, I see. Yeah, Spanish and Portuguese are very similar. I once heard a Spanish comedian call the language of Portuguese “retarded Spanish”. ;-)

heck yes ill go dog fight!! Lets Go!!

didnt know you where in the LA area!!

Holy Crud!!! I think I’ve found Marina’s sister, for really-reals!!! :razz: I don’t know, you tell me. :shock: I’m certain this is the voice we hear in the background when Marina’s sister decides to chime in. She’s real smart too, it all a makes sense now! :mrgreen:

If anyone has a Song Request that you’d like to hear me sing, please leave a comment on my channel. I won’t guarantee I’ll sing the song, music needs to move my heart and soul!

This is a fantasy website where we share fantasy relationships and feelings with HotForWords, a screen character who may or may not bear any genuine relationship with the flesh-and-blood Marina Orlova. (And we get some real word lessons as part of the package.) Part of the fantasy is letting HotForWords play with our feelings. We grant permission for that as part of signing up and participating, and take responsibility for managing our fantasy feelings. This means not confusing them with real feelings for real people who are part of our real lives; nor thinking we have real feelings for the real Marina Orlova, whom we don’t really know, and who, despite being a very public person, deserves her privacy and our respect for her personal and emotional space. :|

or something. :razz:

Having learned Mexican Spanish, I’ve always thought Spaniards talk with a lisp (“Barthelona,” “Cadith,” etc.) The flip side is the Spanish saying: “El español habla, pero el mexicano canta” (“The Spaniard speaks, the Mexican sings.”) :grin:

I’ll always treasure the comment of my first ex-wife, who was modestly conversant in Spanish, on watching the film “Bye Bye Brazil”: “What a strange Spanish dialect, I could hardly catch a word!” :lol:

Homework: When to say “Izvinite pozhaluista”

Once in Bulgaria, I made a dash for the exit of a train that was already starting to pull away from my stop, only to find the way blocked by a large chelovek with a Bowie knife strapped to his belt. “Izvinete molya,” I yelled (the Bulgarian variant of “izvinite pozhaluista”), without which phrase I probably would have found myself on the Black Sea coast instead of my destination in the Sredno Gore / Central Mountains. :lol:

Sorry you are sick and tired of HFW, but I hope you stay around because you’re fun to chat with. :smile:

Hmph… something is missing…… something important………………

Oh yeah!!!!! It’s my buddy iluv2cutfarts!

I better get the search team. :smile:

Just dropped in to make sure that I didn’t write anything really stupid last night. I was uncharacteristically inebriated on my last visit. Fell off the wagon and skinned my brain. And I used to be a pro, too. All good; if I don’t look out for me, who will?

Hey Teach Dear: [INEBRIATED] is a cool old word, no?

I thought this was Marinas sister…

Marina’s back in town.
So is her front, arms, legs, and head. :lol:

I see! Excellent lesson Marina.
Homework: Vasily Borisovich Livanov (Васи́лий Бори́сович Лива́нов)

:grin: This is Glacier – The Greater Swiss Mountain Dog. She completely owns the vuvuzela as you can see. :lol:

thanks :grin:

A good example of a patronymic name
is the actor Vasily Borisovich Livanov
whose father’s name is Boris Livanov
so Vasily is the son of Boris.

You are very very funny. Love the video :D

If you want to avoid jet lag…

Just start living on London time a week before you go to London while stile in LA.

As long as you don’t have anything scheduled for the evening in LA… you can go to sleep at 3:00 pm in the afternoon and set your alarm for midnight.

Then when you are in London you will already be on schedule with everyone there and you will be fresh as a daisy for a photo shoot.

Moscow is almost 12 hours difference (or the half way point) so any place east of there shrink down and go to sleep early. Anywhere west of Moscow stretch it out and stay up later before your trip, like Japan stay up till 5:00 am and wake up at 2:00 pm in the afternoon. :cool: :?:

Actually, this is an elaborate smokescreen of decoy spies. It’s not how much you give something up but how many times before the public thinks it’s just another chicken chase from the J. Edgar Hoover days. A bargain and trade off to cover up the real mission. So close is the drama but yet so far is the patches on the blanket of the coat of many colors spread about. A small sacrifice of decoys. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/38027689#38027689

Karl, I got a “stalker” on Twitter @30nay is there a way to found out his/her location by the ISP address?

This person is following only me so it seems really creepy and weird. :evil:

Anybody else know?

Hi CheVolay,
I wouldn’t worry about the follow.
I noticed the person’s name is
either Spanish or made up where
it could be a bot. As long as they
are not bothering you with messages,
I wouldn’t worry about it. In any event,
you can always block them. Go to that
person’s twitter page and you’ll see a
link to block that person.

Thanks Karl, I tried to see if the name naymar lucena was an anagram but get any thing. It me a Filipino type name.

Thinking I may just sent a DM and ask them what there intentions are. Then I’ll block them after a couple of days. :twisted:

Hello my teacher. I’m not looking for the origin of a word this time. I’m looking for advice. I want to start a show like you have but I have no idea how. What goes into it? Planning,writing that sort of thing. Anybody can just sit in front of a camera and talk,
I want to set the world on fire like you do.

I know what you mean. I can understand a Spaniard speaking Spanish much more clearly than Mexican or Hispanic Spanish. I dig that Spanish saying. :smile: It’s thoughful.

Evan, that’s funny with what your ex said. :lol: Even I have a hard time understanding Brazilian-Portuguese. I have to pay special attention and am constantly asking Brazilians to repeat themselves or to slow down. Like the word “lie” is “mentira”. (phonetically – “mane-TEE-ruh”) Brazilians say “mane-CHEE-ruh” and it’s spelled the same. (I think it’s like that in Spanish, too.) What’s worse is that I have to be especially careful with certain words. In the Azores, the word “rapariga” means “teen-age girl” and nothing more. In Brazil “rapariga” is slang for “prostitute”.
Continental-Portuguese can be a little tricky for me, but speaking with an Azorean is as easy for me as speaking English.

For the Canadians (whom some of which are family members to me)- “HAPPY CANADA DAY!!”

Hello; My Dearest Teacher. How are you today? Yeah, I resemble dat name. Tink, I’m off to da Bar-A-Gain. Wish I was in L.A.; Just to visit… before it falls off in da Ocean! P.S. Glad you ain’t one of those Ruskie spies. lol Love Ya

It is the QUEEN’s English you dork and who says we are all non-hostile ;)

It may seem contrived all this glitz and glamour etc.. but not to put too fine a point on it that is Hollywood for you. Sure it is the Hollywood for the 21st century but still just as cosmetic as any other.

Does fame change people? I think that is a question that is highly dependant on who it is who is famous. People are people. But as far as I am aware we all remain human no matter how ‘popular’ we get.

I freely admit though I am not like your average groupie and the clue to that lies in my name. That added to the fact I have been ‘online’ for a very very long time means I have a different perspective of fame through infamy.

That being said I always will remain loyal to Marina because she has always been loyal to me. It is no secret but you really should not ask for more than someone is willing (or able) to give.

Ok sermon over.. just felt like passing comment but have been distracted 20 times so far so it obviously is not meant to be longer.

Live on…

Yes there is a way but alas, if I tell you, I would have to sterilise you. Something I don’t think you want ;)

I found you on Dr Bob Parsons (not a real doctor) Go Daddy site and I really enjoy your show.
But how do you decide which words to explain? There are so many out there and so many languages and your accent is so infectious. sigh.

Dude, seems you have been cast into the deep, dark, subliminally deceitful, effeminate and devilish bottomless pit of love.

COME BACK TO YOUR SENSES, DAMNIT!!! ‘Cuz, quite fortunately so, there’s a remedy for this disease. YES THERE IS!!! And it is: Bimbos, sportbikes and guns.. It will blow the pressure out of your soul, your body and your brains, as true as I tell ya. Erm… What do I type… Just forget the guns for now okay? You are not in a state to handle guns or any federally controlled weaponry. Try bimbos, wheelies at 100+MPH on motorcycles and strong drinks mixed with a touch of rock’n roll. Just contact your nearest State Advisory Authority Department to know if all this is legal in your area before you bring this stuff into your life.

And if, by the strangest clin d’oeil of life, you don’t like that, well, my friend, there is still a cure. It is even cheaper than what’s above.

Kant’s Critique Of Pure Reason.. Yessir. Not as good looking as a platinum blondie botoxed and siliconed Hollywoodian bimbo, but much more intelligent and profound, so profound it may look like a deep, dark bottomless pit of endless brainy stuff.

Ugh. I have spoken and have no remaining intelligent advice to type out for the moment.

Always recognize that human individuals are ends, and never use them as means to your own end.
– Immanuel Kant (1724 – 1804)

Marina, maybe you could make a video about Southern English. It would be fun to see how it sounds with your Russian accent. Examples:

{defnutly
to be sure, without question. (definitely)
“Thets defnutly thuh smartest dawg in town.”}

{eevnun
the latter part of the day. (evening)
“The moon thuther eevnun wuz gist butiful.”}

Yessss, hahaha. I would actually be quite absolutely interesting to hear how “howdy cow-boy”, “this fuckin’ ain’t my first corrida” and “happy trails buckaroo” sounds when pronounced with a russian accent!

Geez.. I think I had a bad link..

Marina, I got this as an email today. Are these correct?
Thanks, Mike

There is an old Hotel / Pub in Marble Arch, London which used to have gallows adjacent. Prisoners were taken to the gallows (after a fair trial of course) to be hung. The horse drawn dray, carting the prisoner was accompanied by an armed guard who would stop the dray outside the pub and ask the prisoner if he would like ”ONE LAST DRINK”.

If he said YES it was referred to as ONE FOR THE ROAD
If he declined, that prisoner was ON THE WAGON

So there you go…!!!

More bleeding history…

They used to use urine to tan animal skins, so families used to all pee in a pot & then once a day it was taken & sold to the tannery. If you had to do this to survive you were “Piss Poor”.

But worse than that were the really poor folk who couldn’t even afford to buy a pot they
“Didn’t have a pot to Piss in” and were the lowest of the low.

I’d like to know the origin of the word/words {jizz} or {cum} (associated with semen)

Hi Chase,
I think leoNards FB profile may have been hacked. It has been in the news recently and in fact FB has had these security issues for a long time. Those spam posts on the wall was done to a bunch of people. I’ll talk to leoNard to see if he has contacted FB.

Hi leoNard,
Was your FB account hacked?
If so, have you changed your password?
FB issues have been in the news recently where a huge number of accounts were hacked. If you’ve changed your password, have you contacted FB? Let me know what you’ve done so far and let me know if I can help you in any way.

well, ok then

Yes Karl, it seems like that! Too much hassle to kiss ass of the FACEBOOK bullshit! So, I should change my password?…the bullshit will be a sickening gas :evil: that is bullshit of the law, to allow this to happen…proof again that the so called smart people(GEEKS) are STUPID AND BEYOND CIVIL HUMANITIES…tech science is fraud :evil:

Yes, leoNard, go ahead and change your password to at least 8 or 9 characters. It’s best if you include numbers in the password.

I don’t blame you for your anger leoNard and I think I can agree with your statements. I think the dilemma or conflicted thought is that you have geeks with noble intentions who presume that everyone can be trusted and then there are geeks with evil intentions who trust no one. Let me know if you need any help with anything.

…well, then what! :evil: :arrow:

@pedanticKarl Yes, the lesson was so good that I start to think Marina should be blonde.
Why are we talking about it here? Непонятно :smile:

Actually the best way to construct a secure password is to not only use numbers but a mixture of Upper and lower case letters and punctuation. As a sys admin I am rather draconian with my password policy and insist that people generate one that is so good I can’t crack it ;)

Ideal password lengths are between 10 and 16 characters, though I do know that some website FORCE you to have shorter ones, which quite frankly I think is nuts. Still, even with shorter passwords you can improved you resistance to brute force guessing by rotating passwords on an frequent but random basis.

Yes it is a hassled but as I am forever telling people security is all about a balance between safety and convenience. You can put 50 locks on you front door to make yourself more secure but then it will take you 10 mins to get out of your house in the morning.

To my mind security it more about a mindset than it is about any particular practice. After all paranoia doesn’t mean they are after you , but it does mean they MIGHT be ;)

Does anyone notice that Anna Chapman does look a lot like the American student that just got sentenced to 25 years in Italy, for the murder of her roommate, I forgot her name.

Keynesian Economics vs. Austrian Economics

You’re right veritanuda. Many people use short and easy to guess passwords. It’s been six or more year since I read an article on creating the ideal password. The minimum elements of a secure password then was to use a non-dictionary word mixed with numbers using a minimum length of 8 characters. If I remember the article correctly, I think it said that it would take 300 years to brute force crack the password using a Cray. The recommended ideal length at that time was 10-12 characters. Now, with much faster computers and parallel processing available the is a greater need for more secure passwords.

Now, having said that, even though it is valid, and even though brute force is still being used, the easy pickings is social engineering. Those fifty locks on the house or those 16 character passwords are all meaningless when you are up against social engineering. How many people might give duplicate keys to a so called trusting friend and how many people have entered the most secure password into a web page that is believed to be friendly but is actually a phishing website? I see it every day where people get ripped off due to phishing emails, getting infected with trojans and where they enter their credentials into a phishing website. The other issue I also hear about often is unsecured wireless routers.

…Newman!

Exactly!

Don’t believe anything you hear, and only about half of what you actually see. There might be a completely different reason for anything you saw for yourself.

My favorite example…

http://www.gootar.com/gravityboy/beams.jpg

It’s easy to see from this picture the sun is only about 10 or 20 miles away and right behind the trees (A lot of todays modern physics is just as wrong.)

Stuff on the internet… that doesn’t even come into consideration for reality.

Well that is true also… about social engineering. It is sometimes overlooked but the supposed uber hacker Kevin Mitnick freely admits he used social engineering to ‘hack’ his way around. Personally I know it is very easy with a pleasant telephone manner to get people to give away details they would not consciously think of doing.

I also agree that malware and trojans and spam emails are easy ways to get users to give up there personal information but like I said it is more about attitude than it is about actual practice. Granted I am not your average windoze user, in fact I am not a windoze user at all, but even if I were I would still be dutifully mindful about what I am doing and having less faith in programs to do all the work for me.

Part of my job is to work in the security sector and just as in physical security you can never secure a building 100% so you want to secure it enough that it becomes impractical to breech over that of your neighbours. In a town were everyone leaves their door open just one lock will suffice to get someone to move on.

As for wireless.. well.. there is no such thing as secure wifi, but there are ways of communicating over wifi that are secure.

I guess it is a mentality I have that even though I trust people I don’t trust anyone enough to represent me in that trust. I never give away passwords and I never give access to other peoples passwords. I think that is the responsible thing to do when people put their trust in you.

Now, I think this thread has become somewhat wayward so I won’t post again on this topic. But I am glad for the opportunity to express my views. I sometimes feel I am waging an impossible war against complacency of the not quite techie internet generation. ;)

ref your second comment to which I can’t reply:

Well spoken veritanuda, especially
regarding “impossible war against complacency”.

Hot for Words: I am running late!

Coffee shops in the Netherlands sell something harder than coffee. In such a context, the caption “SMOKING AREA INSIDE” receives much more profound meaning.

I’ve heard California is going to legalize this kind of stuff too.

:smile: You really put it in perspective Evan.

The first sentence is for me and the rest of the sermon probably for matalexwolf, but I will answer to prove my innocence.

I haven’t used the Internet as long as you’ve done, only since 1997, but that was probably enough to see the changes that happened through the last decade in it, so I also have a lot of reserve about such new phenomena as HFW site and videos.

In fact, this is the only site in the Internet when I’m really protecting my privacy by using a completely different nick than everywhere else and not making any references to HFW on other forums or social networking websites, just to avoid the possibility of being mocked by friends of mine or other people who can google my activity; in fact many people think that HFW is something close to porn or other bad things when it isn’t).

I must admit that I created my account here as a fake one for posting very negative comments so I took a random nick… but I’ve stayed here for a year. I saw that the discussion of the hardcore users here were completely different than on other forums I knew. It reminds me of some Usenet off-topics which were the quintessence of the Usenet (before it completely went too the dogs).

I don’t judge current Marina’s motivation nor negatively neither positively (because I don’t know what it is like in real) and perceive her works rather positively but with necessary criticism.

I know you are not a fanboy. When I wrote about a bunch of uncritical fanboys around this site, it wasn’t about you. You belong to the same category of the most intelligent site members as Evan Oven, Capitan Jack, Bob (where is he?), pedanticKarl (even if I think he praises too much) and more. Many great users went away during the last year.

Sorry to hear your FB account was hacked leoNard ! I hope you get this problem fixed soon!I hate people who would stoop to such things!Good luck :!:

You have really gotten to the bottom of the matter! We treat this site like it is a role-playing game. It is an RPG! One of the best RPGs I’ve ever played.

You put the link to someone’s synopsis, the full text is much more interesting:

They said it was unfortunate that they could not get a lock on him position because the signal was breaking up. THuuuuummmpppppp and then Guuuuurrrrrrriiiippppp…pop.

The ocean waves were breaking up the sound :lol:

James, perhaps, that is, if you have the ability to introduce animation into your videos by creating some fictional creatures animals or space creatures and have them interact with you in your dialog you would get more interest. Remember, what’s cutting edge and never follow the heard or you’ll get slaughtered.

Do you know where the word :arrow: {hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliop­hobia} comes from :?:

leonard, I do not believe you for a SECOND. How in the world would you’re account get hacked? Facebook would never do that in the first place, and nobody would ever get into you’re account unless they told you their password.

Stop playing dumb and the maarter.

Isn’t it convenient that is is only my wall he is posting ads on? hmmmm

Marina, This is too far. You have filled this site with advertisements. You have placed SEVEN Ads on each of you’re posts on you’re site.

I could understand like 4, but this is ridiculous.

The new pop-up ad is very annoying.

Is this really a word for the fear of long words :?: The first quarter of it makes me think “river horse” :???: If so, how would that fit the meaning and etymology?

Chase, it is not true he (hacker) ppsted only
on your wall. I received 3 ads. Each time
I removed them. Many others also received
ads. Check leonards friends and you can
srill see some of them up. I think BillyB’s
wall still has the ad up.

FB is known for this problem. Google facebook
security problems and ads on wall. You’ll
see a ton of articles going back to 2006 and
most recently this past May and June.

Phishing happens when you enter your login credentials on a fake Facebook login page or download malicious software to your computer. This may result in messages or links being automatically sent to a large number of your friends.

Hello, James.
The only people who have no ideas are dead.

What do you know, or what do you know how to do? Everyone has a unique skill set. If you’re looking for ideas on making a video, think about what you want to teach people, and find a way to make a good presentation. Worry about the quality of content first, and then start thinking of ways to make the presentation more appealing.

This method worked well for Miss Marina in her early videos.

@marina, how do you get the colored text on the menu bar?

Probably inline CSS done manually or via a widget?
<span style=”color: rgb(255, 70, 75);”> Gunju </span>

Don’t believe everything you see (even with your own two eyes)…

These guys think they have found a {dark matter} ring?
http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2007/05/070515-dark-matter.html

You might see the same picture from any angle if it is actually a sphere or giant ball of dark matter or star stuff.

The almost perfect circularity is a clue that ring shape will happen regardless of viewing direction, meaning it is probably a hollow sphere…

The “Twilight Saga” overlaps with my interest in Washington Elip Tillicum (“First Peoples”), so I’d like to request:

OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: SPAMMER HIJACKS LEOnARD’S FACEBOOK ACCOUNT!

A vicious spammer has hijacked the Facebook account of HFW’s much-loved leoNard, sending his friends advertisements for the sorts of things spammers advertise.

Who would be ruedenough to do such a thing? :mrgreen: Please don’t blame leoNard! :cry:

O CANADA! :grin:

PRIOR’S ON FIOR! :razz:

You’ll succeed — just make the show your top Prior-ity! :mrgreen:

The smart thing to do is… don’t use Facebook, don’t use myspace, don’t use anything but hotforwords.com

Take a close look at Marina…

She would never let anything bad like that happen to anyone of us.

Plus… if you look at that picture you won’t care if there are hackers, and you won’t care about anything else for that matter :mrgreen:

You forgot to do the Word Request thingie for {Saga}
Have you seen the origin of that word?
Who knew? That should be a very interesting video lesson.

Yep, a sage once said
when he saw that {Saga}
is a great word request.

Haha, @Marina, you are so funny what you did with the login dialog box.
Enter the wrong password and that box shakes its head. Too funny. :lol:

Chase, one note. In the rgb(255, 70, 75) coding, you will want to remove the spaces to make it rgb(255,70,75)

And, there is always

I can’t believe I beat leoNard on that one. :grin:

While I’m waiting for the Paraguay – Spain match in the World Cup
I might as well listen to “Stereo Love”.
Very nice. I like it.

Oh that is cool; I had to intentionally screw up my password to see the effect. Clever lady, our Teacher. :lol:

4 to 0. and our coach Yogi Löw is a genius. I’m proud.

It’s not a matter of edit css. It is most likely a plugin I am not finding. ;-)

pedanticKarl is correct.. I labeled the menu item as:

You<span style=”color: #ff464b;”>Tube</span>

I am also looking for the plugin where u get the cool icons by the images

Hold on when could we go6levels ?

I know, that was soooo funny to see that.
Now, all we need is tongue sticking out
and a waving finger saying, “drink too much again?”. Hehe

Ja, natürlich and Spain is next on Wednesday. :smile:
Where in Schland are you from?
Can you imagine the final match against Netherlands?
Where is my friend Rijk hiding?
I had been predicting Brazil, but it didn’t happen.
I wonder who he is rooting for. LOL

That happens with everybody. Go to my site and it does the same thing. It does that when you upgrade to wordpress 3.0. Only my login is cooler. :D

hello!

Hello! PaparazziKid :smile:

lettuce

Let us have some fun then :lol:

Evan, I need some explanation.

I’m strait thank you

Tell me you’re arn’t a boy who likes twilight.

The way I think of it, if you’re a boy, there are only 2 excuses to go see twilight.

1. You are taking you’re girlfriend.

2. You are going to twilight to laugh at it.

I’m straighter than an arrow and you are most welcome :grin:

An arrow cannot get any more strait unless you bend it, thus being the opposite of strait.

Oh darn, we ran out of Reply buttons.

Anyway, I shot an Arrow into the air
It fell to earth I know not where,
For so swiftly it flew, the sight
Could not follow it in its flight.

Dang those arrows anyway.

@Evan Owen… The French study the sagging and .. …to sag more.

The lesson to take home from this study is that if you engage in jogging or some other type of very active sport, sports bras are recommendable.

Great selection leoNard,
EMERSON LAKE & PALMER – The Sage :smile:

That is a MAYJOR WORDPRESS FLAW. When you get you’re site, if it’s a wordpress newbie, they have no idea that the reply buttons are unlimited. If they keep going, they will go out of the margins.

Maybe they fixed that in wordpress 3.0, I have no idea.

Chase, if I remember correctly, there used to be a Reply button on the last post that butted up against the right margin. Not sure though.

The Reply button can be programmed in such a way where the button is always shown no matter where the last comment is. The programming rule would say that the comment has reached the margins and will no longer be indented, but placed immediately below the comment being replied to.

Notice that my reply to one of your earlier comments does have a Reply button.

I’m from Baden-Württemberg.
I hope that the final will bee Netherlands – Germany.
But i don’t know your friend Rijk.

Rijk was a prolific commenter here and we became good friends. He is from the Netherlands. Hope he reads this and joins in the World Cup fun.

Ich war in Bielefeld, Nordrhein-Westfalen geboren.
I live in So. Calif now and have been watching
all of the World Cup games. Very exciting games.

1. I’m not a boy who likes Twilight. I just read this morning that part of it is filmed at the Quileute reservation a few miles west of here. :cool:

2. Thanks for the tip, I need a good laugh. :lol:

Americans in Mexico say “Estoy embarazado” when they are trying to say “I’m embarrassed.” What it really means is, “I’m pregnant.” :oops:

Italian for “How old are you?” is “Quanti anni hai?” But you need to pronounce “anni” with a double “nn,” because “Quanti ani hai?” means “How many assholes do you have?” :shock: :oops:

“Szukać” in Polish means “to seek” (in fact these two words in both languages are cognates from Proto-Germanic). In Czech and Slovak there is a verb with the identical pronunciation: “Å¡ukat” which means “to f*ck” (“to seek” in Czech is “hledat” and “Å¡ukat” has the same etymology as English “fuck” and German “ficken”, but with some modifications in pronunciation).

It’s easy for a Pole to get a slap from a Czech woman, even during asking the way.

O’r diwedd — rhywun arall sy’n siarad fy iaith i! :razz: :grin:

Yeah, Where have all the good times gone! :|

Did you ever get into that music era when guitar and drum solos ruled the rock arena? It was fun while it lasted. :cool:

Hey friend :grin: …bet you would like this—Eric Burdon and The New Animals perform ‘You Got Me Floating’, at The Coach House, California, October 17, 1998.

Eric Burdon – vocals
Aynsley Dunbar – drums
Dean Restum – guitar

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aynsley_Dunbar#With_David_Bowie
…I’ve finally met. Aynsley, from that tour :cool: … Aynsley Thomas Dunbar (born 10 January 1946) is an English drummer. He has worked with some of the top names in rock, including John Mayall, Frank Zappa, Ian Hunter, Lou Reed, Jefferson Starship, Jeff Beck, David Bowie, Whitesnake, Sammy Hagar, UFO, and Journey.—- Bowie 1973 Pin-Ups Interview

I made a color picker a long time ago…

http://www.gootar.com/gravityboy/indiacolor.html

…still pretty cool though… you can click on the arrows to change it or the hex number between the arrows to fine tune a color.

I had to do it once in high school… My friend had a band and he got sick or something at the last minute so they got me to replace him for a 3 hour show.

We only had a 15 minutes to practice together before the whole show. We spend most of the 15 minutes figuring out what songs I knew that they also knew and vice-versa. I ended up doing like 1/2 hour and 45 minute solos on the guitar. There was a rose in my guitar case at the end of the night but we never knew who put it in there. — true story :cool:

Improvisation can be scary but exciting at the same time! To find a rose in your case, you must’ve pulled it off that night plus helping out the other bandmates is always a plus. ;-) :cool:

To meet Aynsley Dunbar it must’ve been Karma leoNard. :smile: :cool:

Supposedly Eric Burdon has led a hard life (i.e drugs, boozing ect….) I’m amazed that he still sounded great after all the years and to have Dunbar and the other hot players backing him up and sounding like they can still kick ass is a testament for Rock N’ Rollers. :cool:

:smile: Thanks leoNard, I like a lot! :cool:

OMG Jack…I’ve been playing SL since ’06…where do you usually hang out?

Just type in “Captainjack Delcon” to IM me.

Funny thing is I just ran into another player that lives in Long Beach, and has an uncle that has a boat in the harbor where I work at. What are the odds of something like that happening in an online game full of millions of players?

I actually had found someone that lived on the same block I grew up on in Brooklyn. She had moved there after I had left, but she knew all the folks on the block…yeah the odds of those types of occurrences have got to be astronomical.

Thumbnail cheater… but it was so worth it! :lol:

Not yet! I am not sure of when I will be back exactly! You’ll know shortly though :-)
