Dear Nicolas, remember what Evan Owen, a wise man, wrote a few months ago:
Nicolas, don’t let the voices in your head play with you unfair games.
Who is this “wise man” who spent months as an infatuated HotForWords love slave, and has posted six thousand comments on this site instead of attending to the obligations in his real life?
Huh, I don’t get it????
Please repeat the question?
Look i really don’t know what to say to you or even ask you. I know that sounds cry of you watchers, but in my case it’s vety difficult! (i love my computer) Ma yo MUST, do something for me.
I must think im, in love wit’ U butt, i don’t see because im alone. Im just a child right now. I know im happy too, it’s paradoxal butt i am… I think i don’t want to realise all now, im still too young to it (it right, not sex…). You can study all day long what im writing here i know, and it’s georgeous. It’s so hard lol!!!
I think i just need you woman. That’s strange because i think of your parents, i saw them yes.
I can’t say to myself, i’ve stop dreaming in fact(s)..
)i need time maybe. Maybe it’s too hard for u either i don’t know d:-D, Yeah maybe i’ve just stoped dreaming LOL
Ok, forget you are thinking and write me an email, i’ll be so glad believe me on words.
Christmas in france tu tulu tutu…
I have an idea for you. Buy a G6 jet, fly to Los Angeles and invest above $1000000 in the US to receive an investor’s stay permit. Then Marina will be so impressed with you that she will marry you. You wrote once that you always can achieve everything you want so it should be easy for you.
hmmm… since I am already in the US I don’t need to fly here. And I also don’t need the $1,000,000 investor’s stay permit to stay here.
So, I guess there is no way for me to impress trusty :-(
I think buying the new G650 would be enough in your case, just for domestic flights :)
J’aime être millionnaire, tu serras avec moi.. Ma femme
I think the problem is you are unable to separate your unreal fantasies from the reality. I guess what the reason is and it must be really difficult for you.
HYMNIm dying!!OpenId’s the killer..

But your teachings are entertaining… Thanks!
We really aren’t as stupid as some of our comments.
I’ve seen some exceptionally bright people post some really stupid remarks here… :roll:
Hello My Beautiful Taecher,
Happy Birthday! Just interested in maybe learning about some of your favorite activities.
Your Loyal Student,
Aaron
I liked that one…

Oh, I’m a bit late. But also a “Happy Birthday!” from me.
I hope you enjoyed your day.
I’ve learned a new word: itemology. Is itemology the study of objects that are parts of sets? :)
Who is that? What is that? I don’t know but this one is mind blowing…
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2XIXdpHO-bg
It’s the same music over and over but you can’t stop watching it.
My goodness, It could be the same bunch of babes. :-0
What’s weird is you replied to a post that didn’t exist yesterday. I made the reply to myself shortly after my first post but it didn’t take and disappeared. It got to the point where I was copying my posts before I refreshed the page because they would disappear! Thats why my dance party ended so early, I got tired of having posts vanish. But now here it is! The thread you replied to was a repost of a original post(below)that vanished, but now there both here.
This is second time I’ve typed this post. I noticed(unfounitly)that the reply box will let me type-away without being signed in! I didn’t realize I wasn’t signed in! I guess I could’ve signed in with FB or twitter but I didn’t want to. I wanted to sign in with my HFWs user name and password. When I did, my post was lost. Bummer.
Yes.. the one with the blue headband… I think she is the same one as the goalie? I need to know :-)
None of comments vanish… if I write something then don’t post it, it stay and follows me around. I guess they have a draft thing going (which is actually good).
I think I’ve even closed then reopened the browser and the unposted comment comes back.
you are very welcome My Dearest Teacher!
I take this opportunity to send you again,
Happy & Healthy birthday wishes from me & mine,
to you & yours. May all your wishes come true!
( if you decide you want that ride on my hog, let me know ) it can be arrainged B.B.

My question : When are you going to learn French ?

My question : When are you going to learn French ?
Dear Marina,
I was just talking to a friend of mine about how the {zeitgeist} of the Christmas season has changed over the years. He thought I’d made the word up, which is when I realized that there were probably plenty of others out there that don’t know what it means either.
I know it’s similar in origin to poltergeist, but it’s such a great word, I hope you’ll consider giving your students a lesson on it.
Kind regards,
Steve
PS: belated birthday wishes; I hope you had a wonderful day.
Marina I got you some birthday cake http://tinyurl.com/26dwdgp
Ooops! I just typed in http://www.hotforweed.com in the address bar.
Guess I was thinking about Marina’s birthday gift. ;)
It looks like a good address for those who want to teach people how to properly grow cannabis plants at home… And the address is still not used.
And if you missed my other comment . Have a very wonderful and Happy Birthday! Just letting you know I’m here and that I care, see you soon hopefully!
Thank you, I was searching, everywhere and going crazy over trying to find the forum pages, now they are back. Great news, me and some friends share a common interest, and would be a shame to get rid of them. All of you that like the forums speak up now, or forever hold your peace. We can’t afford to lose these precious groups where we get together as brothers, and share all our passions and interests. I probably would quite if the forums were taken away. That’s how much I like the forums. I hope you are listening Marina, these forums are a definite part of Hot For Words, I was disappointed last night, when I went to use it, and couldn’t be found anywhere, so that was a very big let down for me! And hopefully others! I think I made my case known, that is if Marina is watching and reading everybody’s comments. I out some much time, and had fun, it is my passion to be able to reach out to fellow members in a search for people with the same interest. Stand up you all, we can’t afford to lose these great forums. So it is written so it shall be done! LOL! Just here showing my support for the forums, I hope everyone else follows suite, I see my friend VenomRock has done so, good for you my man, I love having you for a fellow partner in the forums, it would never be the same again without them! Peace! If you have ever listened to anything I have ever said Marina, hopefully at least at this moment in time and space my message is heard! I was wondering what happened to the forums, I thought I was going crazy, not being able to find them LOL! Thank you for your time Bye!
Damn the edit procedures aren’t work, so I can’t fix my botched mistakes! Oh well I hope my message has been taken into consideration! Thank you! Peace!
Yeah, that sure was a close one huh. ;-)
Happy Birthday Marina

Marina,

Happy Birthday Marina

Ok people, its time for a birthday dance party! Kickin’ it off with a little old school. Another Nite
hallo,i am new here and i wonna ask how do you figure out HOT FOR WORDS, is that because you specialized on itemology?and the same time because you’re hot?
And also i am asking if is that your real character or just pretend,because your method is very impressive.
thank you for sharing us your knowledge…
As-salaam alaikum, mehdi. Yes, you are right about “HOT FOR WORDS,” and “itemology” could be a fun new word for us to learn and use.
Is “HotForWords” Marina’s real character? She puts on an act for her videos; she can’t be like this all the time in real life. Off-camera, she works very hard and can be very serious. But those who have met her say she is fun to be with. :smile:
Marina is a master of self-creation and psychological influence. I don’t know how much it is learned and to what extent it is her natural talent. If we analyze everything what she does, we can see that it is much more systematic and planned that it looks at first glance. Her marketing actions work better than many of those strategies conducted by big companies. I don’t mean nothing bad, on the contrary: I think in the future her way to success may be analyzed by many theoreticians of business. This is one of the most brilliant successes I’ve ever seen.
Fairy tales can come true
I can happen to you
If you’re young at heart
For its hard you will find
to be narrow of mind
if you’re young at heart
You can go to extremes
with impossible schemes
You can laugh while your dreams
fall apart at the seams
And life get more exciting
with each passing day
And love is either in your heart
or on its way
Don’t you know that its worth
every treasure on earth
to be young at heart?
For as rich as you are
Its much better by far
to be young at heart
And if you should survive
to a hundred and five
look at all you’ll derive
out of being alive
And here is the best
you have a head start
if you are among the very young at heart. – Frank Sinatra
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARINA!!!!! May all your birthday wishes come true.
“I’ve got you under my skin. I got deep in the heart of me…” Frank Sinarta
Happy Birth Day Marina. ;-) May this day and the rest of your life be filled with Happiness and fulfillment. ;-)
Mike
Happy Birthday, Marina!
My best wishes, again, and lotssss of Love!
Your trusty HotForNumbers
(-: Hope you have an AWESOME Birthday today Marina!!!!!! :-D
My dear teacher,
I am currently learning French as my second language, and am enjoying the process so much I want to learn a third one. I’ve been thinking about German or Spanish. Which language do you think would be the most useful to learn for an English/French speaker?
Do you speak any other languages apart from Russian and English, if not which one would you like to learn?
Oh, by all means learn German; then you’ll see the first half of where English came from (the second being French.) :cool:
While you’re at it, study Welsh, then you’ll see what they spoke in what is now England before the English arrived! :razz: Iaith y Brenin Arthur ydy’r Gymraeg! :mrgreen:
Y por supuesto, despues de aprender el frances, el espanol seria muy facil! :wink:
Marina tweeted:
I prefer simpler metaphors: “Life’s a bitch and then you die”.
Someone tweeted to Marina:
OMG, is this “tradition” with birthday spanking also known in the USA?
That’s funny… If you live near the sea shore, we also say…
“Life is a beach and then you die”
“I’m from Jamaica, right near the beach! If I wasn’t Jamaican, then why would I wear this hat?”
Yes Dave Chappele is hillarious.
Here is the amazing Jamaican…

Usain Bolt at the Beijing Olympics… he was like 10 yards ahead of everyone else and goofing around at the end.
fglrx you for got one in your quotation.
. Now I don’t believe in that part about marring one it’s just part of the quote. :-)))
Marina posted pictures of herself at the beach, followed by pictures of her with a new hair color:
“Life’s a beach and then you dye!” :mrgreen:
“Sea Shells” is a nickname for bikini top. So if you’re a woman swimming topless, then you run out of the water, you want to have your “sea shells” close to you. :oops:

What happened to the group forums and posting updates? I can’t find any of the material I posted along with the stuff other people posted there?
WTF…….WTF! I am not retarded! Or am I? ………. ACTIVITY must be an inside thingY…the check is in the mail?
I turned them off for a second to see if people were really using them. I put them back on, you get to them via My Account and then come down to Groups and select that.
I was thinking having groups and the forum was getting complicated.. but what do you think?
I happen to be partial to the groups and forum because I do use them. I was actually going to reply to a couple of people earlier but I couldn’t find them.
tell her to leave the forum alone. :/
I think she knows where I stand.

Happy Birthday Marina, have a good one!
Hello everyone, how you all doing? What’s up with the class today? Snow and cold over my way, even Marina talking about snow! Gorby is one of those what you call circus dogs, that was born in his genes to learn tricks, and play a lot more easier than a normal dog, at least that’s what he looks like to me, I guess I should use the proper term, I always have trouble remembering their right name, but I see fglrx got it a toy Maltanese. If he is a full blooded one, he must have cost you a fortune! Well let’s get into the mixed bag.

A circus owner runs an ad for a lion tamer and two people show up. One is a retired golfer in his late sixties and the other a gorgeous blond in her mid-twenties. The circus owner tells them: ” I’m not going to sugar coat it, This is one Ferocious lion. He ate my last tamer, so you two had better be good or you’re history. Here’s your equipment– chair, whip, and a gun. Who wants to try out first?”
The girl says, ” I’ll go first. ” She walks past the chair, the whip and the gun and steps right into the lion’s cage. The lion starts to snarl and pant and begins to charge her. About halfway there, she throws open her coat revealing her beautiful naked body. The lion stops dead in his tracks, sheepishly crawls up to her and starts licking her feet and ankles. He continues to lick and kiss her entire body for several minutes and then rests his head at her feet.
The circus Owner’s jaw is on the floor. He says, ” I’ve never seen a display like that in my life. ” He then turns to the retired golfer and asks: ” Can you top that? ” The tough old golfer replies: ” No problem, just get that lion out of there.”

A Scotsman was dating a pretty woman and decided to buy her some cloth for her birthday, so she could make herself a pretty dress. After buying the cloth, he decided to buy some of the same material for himself and had a pair of underpants made from it.
On the day of her Birthday, he puts on his kilt but forgets to put on the underpants. When he got to hid girlfriend’s home, he tells her he is going to give her a hint as to what her birthday present is.
With that being said, he then said: ” Look close.” And did a pirouette in front of her. He then said: ” Aye lass. Did ye see that?” “No”, she said, ” I did not see. ” So he does another pirouette only bigger. He then said, ” And now; lass. Did ye see that? ” “Aye” , she said ” I saw.” To which he replied: Aye lass, I’m giving you three yards of that for your birthday.”

She goes home and dyes her hair brown. She went back to the store and says to the same man at the counter: ” I would like to buy the TV in the window, please.” Sorry, still don’t sale to blondes. ” The blonde was getting mad now. ‘I’ll fix him’ she thought to herself.
So she goes home and dyes her hair black this time. ” Alright, I’d like to buy the TV in the window, please. ”
” Look lady, we don’t sale to blondes. ” The blonde stood there for a minute. “How do you keep knowing it was me?” ” I know it’s you because that in the window is a microwave. ”

The Short Off A Story!
This is a story about four people named Everybody, Someone, Anybody, and Nobody.
There was an important job to be done and Everybody was sure Somebody would do it.
Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it.
Somebody got angry about that, because it was Everybody’s job.
Everybody thought Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn’t do it.
It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have.
Funeral Procession
A woman leaving a convenience store with her morning coffee when she noticed a most unusual funeral procession approaching the nearby cemetery.
A long black hearse was followed by a second long black hearse about 50 feet behind the first one. Behind the second hearse was a solitary woman walking a pit bull on a leash. Behind her, a short distance back, were about 200 women walking single file.
The woman was so curious that she respectfully approached the woman walking the dog and said, ” I am so sorry for your loss, and I know now is a bad time to disturb you, but I have never seen a funeral like this. Whose funeral is it?”
” My husband’s ”
The woman replied, ” My dog attacked and killed him.”
She inquired further, ” Well, who is in the second hearse?”
The woman answered, ” My mother-in-law. She was trying to help my husband when the dog turned on her. ”
A poignant and thoughtful moment passed between the two women.
” Can I borrow the dog?”
“Get In Line.”

Ways To Get Rid Of Telemarketers, Part 1
An Old One, But A Good One…
1. If they want to loan you money, tell them you just filed for Bankruptcy and you could sure use some money.
2. If they start out with, “How are you today?” say, “Why do you want to know?” Or you can say, I’m so glad you asked, because no one seems to care these days ans I have all these problems, my sciatica is acting up, my eyelashes are sore, my dog just died…” When they get back to the sell, just continue your problems.
3. If they say they’re Joe Doe from the XYZ Company, ask them to spell their name, then ask them to spell the company name, then ask them where it is located. Continue asking them personal questions or questions about their company for as long as necessary.
4. This one works better if you are a male: Telemarketer: ” Hi my name is Judy and I’m with Canter and Siegal services….. You: “Hang on a second.” (few second pause) “Okay, (in a really huskt voice) what are you wearing?”
5. Crying out, in well- simulated tones of pleasure and surprise, “Judy!! Is this really you? OH my gosh! Judy, how have you BEEN/” Hopefully, this will give Judy a few brief moments of terror she tries to figure out where the hell she could know you from.
6. Say,”No” , over and over. Be sure to vary the sound of each no, and keep an even tempo even as they’re trying to speak. This is the most fun if you can keep going until they hang up.
Ways To Get Rid Of Telemarketers, Part2
7. If MCI calls trying to get you to sign up with their Family and Friends plan, reply, in a sinister a voice as you can muster, “I don’t have any friends…would you be my friend?”
8. If they clean rugs, “Can you get blood out, you can? Well, how about goat blood or HUMAN blood.
9. Let the person go through their spiel, providing minimal but necessary feedback in the form of an occasional “Uh- huh, really, or :That’s fascinating.” Finally, when they ask you to buy, ask them to marry you. They get all flustered, but just tell them you couldn’t give your credit card number to someone that;s a complete stranger.
10. Tell them you work for the same company they work for. Example: Telemarketer: “This is Bill from Watertronics.” You: ” Watertronics!! Hey I work for them too. Where are you calling from?” Telemarketer: ” Uh,Dallas, Texas.” You: “Great they have a group there too? How’s business/the weather? Too bad the company has a policy against selling to employees!
oh well, see ya.”
11. Answer the phone. As soon as you realize it is a telemarketer, set the receiver down, shout or scream, “Oh. my goodness!!!” and then hang up.
12. Tell the Telemarketer you are busy and if they will give you their phone number you will call them back. If they say they are not allowed to give out their number, then ask them for their home phone number and tell them you will call them at home. ( This is usually the most effective method of getting rid of Telemarketers)

An Antartian woman came into a bar and asked the bartender for a drink. Then she started to yell, “Yeah! ” “Yeah!” Then five more Antartians came in and started to do the same thing. Then three more Antartians came in and one of them had a Barney puzzle. The bartender asked one of them, “Why are you yelling ‘yeah yeah!’?” Then one responded, “We did this puzzle in three hours and it says 2-3 years.”

Entertainment Joke
Due to inherit a fortune when his sickly, widower father died, Charles decided he needed a woman to enjoy it with. Going to a singles’ bar, he spotted a woman whose beauty took his breath away.
“I’m just an ordinary man, ” he said, walking up to her, “but in just a week or two, my father will die and I’ll inherit 20 million dollars. ”
The woman went home with Charles, and the next day she became his stepmother.
Goodbye to you all. Enjoy! Peace

You are funny.
Thanks. My jokes don’t always work but that one did. Oh, the “Dunce Cap” was just rolled up oak tag paper taped in the back with duct tape and lettered with vinyl stick on words.
{jersy}Good job…
Thanks and I’m glad to see that there is another prog-rock “dinosaur” fan out there!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MY BELOVED TEACHER!!!
How do people celebrate birthdays in Russia? How are you going to
spend this special day?
S DNJOM RAZHDENIJA, MARINA!!!
HaPPy BIrThDAy My DEaR TeaChEr! O Marina, I am late to the game, but have become a big fan of yours. You are lovely to behold, with those big…eyes and those gorgeous…lips and those hard..cheekbones. I can watch your lessons over and over. Listening to your sexy accent makes learning so interesting and fun. And so I celebrate your birthday with you and all of your students world-wide. I would like my trusty hotforwords to investigate the word {fun} if you haven’t done that already, because, my dear teacher, you are {fun} and I thank you for letting me play with you. HAppY BiRThDaY MaRiNA!
Marina… I imagine that tonight you will be reflecting on all the wonderful things that have passed… as you leave 29 years of age behind. Please don’t cry… the journey into 30 will surely be “wordy” and worthy! Thanks for doin’ what you do.
Time and the Great Gig in the Sky
OMG!!!
Just watched “The Sum Of All Fears” again.
Boy did my ears perk up and my jaw drop to the floor when they mention and had scenes from Arazmas.
But alas no cameos.
Blah, Blah, Blah this is where we build nukes Blah, Blah…
(thinking.. oh that’s Marina’s hometown)
Next scene…”Arazmas 16, Russia”…
Arzamas-16 is now called Sarov and it’s about 40 miles from real Arzamas.
cool…
cool…
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MARINA!

Hi Marina question. What do you think you will be doing in ten years from now ?
Watching how Marina was playing with her dog, I understood why it is called a toy Maltanese.
Marina… a question.
Do you alone… own the content of your website?
I own half of it as we got married then divorced, but I still see her from time to time. I don’t receive any revenue only the bills. No just kidding. I did ask her to marry me back in 1998, but she never gave me an answer. This is true, no lie ask Captain Jack or CheVolay they will tell you. I forgot what video it was on, but I did save the comment then my hard drive crashed and I lost it and all of my pictures. Ask Marina if you don’t believe me. What away to start a rumor lol
You gonna dream, dream big.
I suspect she would have said yes to keep immigration from kicking her out of the country.
I think she has been here long enough and contributed to society maybe they will grant her a permanent stay. Yep gotta dream big pal.
I want to marry her and live in Russian :onlykiddingbuttrue:
I don’t want but will marry her, and will live in La lol (im not kitting…) ahahah
l’herbe est toujours plus verte :-)
I actually think Paris is the spot to be… so many other places you can go right from there on a train and see everything.
I think she has been here long enough and contributed to society maybe they will grant her a permanent stay. Yep gotta dream big pal.
Marina… a question.
Did Capman911 ask you to marry him… in 1998… like he says? You would have been a bit young for marriage… no? Or this some sort of “false alarm?” LOL!
Question: Will the long hairt return?
Eventually ;-)
You know I think the emails are fixed. The only ones I receive are from me or whom ever replies to me. I sure hope so. Oh by the way I started a rumor to liven things up a tad. <3 :smike:
I just used the ‘like’ button cos I like pressing buttons. ;)
Ok I was wrong. Now I am not receiving any emails from your site at all. I give up, I am going to go live with Hanna Minx.
I did not know who Hanna Minx was until this comment of yours Capman911. I don’t know if you noticed… but… she has “a couple of things happening there” that must give her a sore back! LOL
You turned off all notifications before because of the problem you were having. Go to disqus, edit your profile and turn these on:
http://www.hotforwords.com/files/email-notif.jpg
You will then start receiving the email notifications ONLY from responses to your comments.
Ok I was wrong. Now I am not receiving any emails from your site at all. I give up, I am going to go live with Hanna Minx.

Hello Marina,
I’ve heard that Ukrainian women normally get married very early at about the age of twenty. Is that similar in Russia and if so, why? Is it a cultural thing?
Greetings,
Tammo
since russia is even farther to the east, things are worse. most russian girls marry at the age of about 18. they are expected to be pregnant at about 20 at the latest. that’s because the average life expectancy of russian women is 37.4 years. so, by getting a child at about 20, society makes (more or less) sure that the child can be raised by its mother and that it will be an adult if and when their mother dies.
that’s so sad. :(
since japan is even farther to the east, things are worse. most japanese girls marry at the age of about 17. they are expected to be pregnant at about 19 at the latest. that’s because the average japanese man becomes impotent at 21.2 years. so, by getting a husband at about 19, society makes (more or less) sure that the child can be at all begotten.
that’s so sad. :(
Geez.. 21.2 years of potency expectency in Japan, eh? I wonder how are things in China and India. Are the children there in any danger or being unbegotten? Do they have enough ginseng in their daily diet to ensure that they will grow and sustain a suitable quantity of stamina in their daily life? If they need help, someone should step in and give it to them, ASAP.
China’s population in 2008 was 1.3 billion people. They must peter out at an early age also. That’s why they are building up their population now.
Impotent at 21 years old. Dang what happened to them did they wear the thing out?
That is sad……
I hope you didn’t believe. I just made fun of aLx’s story which was equally true as mine.
Alex has been on here since day one. Buzzword and Alex used to be the two top commenters on the site. Buzzword, Alex and a few more of us joined back when Marina first started this site. Some of us just appear from time to time just to see what is going on. There are a new batch of members now that have dominated the site as it should be. Alex is his real name he just shortened it to aLx to be different like the rest of us. :-)
I remember some of the times when he commented much more and used the nicks like alex or äläx, so I also know he has a specific sense of humor :)
Blame it on eating too much Tofu. :)
I have heard that Tofu stunts your growth. lol
I have heard that Tofu stunts your growth. lol
Pimp yer calculator, Capman! Impotent at 21.2 years old! Not 21!!! That’s 73 more days of potency to acknowledge! Ponder this: Pit 73 fertile women in their prime against 73 days of potency. That’s a lot of action, for sure, and multiplication. But think about optimization, not artificial insemination. And stop thinking now! This is not p0rn!
:) Hehe.. Oooo Marina.. Been a pretty miserable week here for a whole host of reasons but that actually made me laugh, despite myself. Thank you. You are a striper Pffff :D
{Pop} quiz huh? How very apposite. Just what is pop and how did it become a drink and noise and a culture, huh?
Something to ask too. Sunshine or snow? On which side do you stow, your good times or bad times and which would you forgo?
Love the bed, need to try it sometime :)
Dear teacher,
I am very delighted to see your great Russian splendor! all and every facet of you.
Could you tell us more about your background, traditional dishes that you like, customs and traditional celebrations that are unique to the region you call mother land?
Good Morning My Dear Teacher, Yes I do like like the bed set, but maybe not so much the little dog. I did check out ‘hotforfood’ and subscribed as you suggested. Your friend is cute, but you are sexy like no one else. My question is this- What do you want for your birthday?
she had done this by the past, maybe she can but, translation often translates “everything” you know… im sure that’s why she don’t put them everytime.
Your accounts are multiplying like rabbits!
Hi,
I have two questions :
What kind of food do you eat ? (I hope you don’t eat a lot of milk or meat because it’s not sexy !)
Could you add subtitles in your movies ? that could be very useful for non-english speaker.

Check out you-tube…
A candy striper was traditionally a young, female hospital volunteer; a concept that originated in the 1940s. …~~~~~~~~~~~~
So let’s get started.
Dangstac asks:
I’m from a small town a couple hundred miles outside of Moscow called Arzamas.. it’s in Nizhny Novgorod Oblast and has a population of only around 100,000 people.. well.. 99,999 when I left!
Here are some pics of me there:
Next up, fglrx asks:
It depends… I’m cool with a little mermaid or flower on the ankle perhaps.. or a cute phrase tattooed on my body:
But I’m not so sure about a full body, full forehead job!
Next up…
jdeboni.. well I tried for a second.. but I kept making these stupid, funny looking faces.. like I had just eaten a lime.. or some people a duck face… so it didn’t quite work out!
Actually….
Show dude on computer.. there is a knock on the door… dude “Come in!”
Marina -Are you YouTube user cunninglinguist? I’m here for your private lesson.
Dude.. NOOOO WAAAAAYYYY!!!
GameGuideXbox asks..
You want me to go to the ATM?
MutliGamingWorld asks me if I am a striper….
How did you guess? Yes.. I used to draw the middle stripe on the road when I was younger!
herrTraak asks:
Funny you ask..
That’s it for today’s HotForWords pop quiz!
For your homework, ask me some more questions in the comments below.. and I’ll make another reverse pop quiz video!
Je vois mademoiselle marina… tu sais que je vois tout :-|
ur love, nick.
Oh my goodness (that’s the case) Ma!!!!!
You friend (i don’t know her name hm) is really really nice and pretty (i don’t know why im saying this, no it’s a joke..) but if she can teach me cooking, i mean, that’s just , great…
Ok cool, have a sweet day Ma Ma!
Boubouboubouyakasha!!! ahahhah
Nick yo!
My question for you, dear Marina: are you planning on becoming a U.S. citizen? I will gladly teach you about the Constitution and U.S. history!
The answer is in this video. She has a green card and she wants to be an American citizen as soon as possible (as it requires being a permanent resident for a period of time specified by law).
She is now one.
My friend said that in Mexico they don’t really differentiate the status of people according to the type of work they do… like they do in America.
What is this like in Russia? Do people hold certain professions in high esteem.
What does your father do and what is he like?… in 15000 words or less! (smile)
In France we differentiate people from their clothes only…. like everywhere i guess!
Do porn makers use models?...
…Are Elton John and Lady Gaga related?…R~I~P…Elton John on The Cher Show in 1976
…and here thee—-Elton John & John Lennon LIVE – Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds …{d i a
…
What is the the biggest difference between the Russian and American cultures that you like and dislike?
Maybe too personnal pal…
I second this question! It’s so interesting to hear about cultural differences or unexpected similarities and their perception by people.
Marina, my daughter-in-law is Russian and she is beautiful also. I’ve met many of her Russian friends and they are beautiful too. Yet in films of Moscow most women seem to be old, overweight Babushka’s. At what age do the beautiful Russian girls go bad?
It has nothing to do with age; a wrinkly M will still be a bee-yooti-ful M. :-)
All those seen wandering around on the streets are not the cute ones; I am sure they are kept under wraps or are driven around town.
Time to spark things up around here… and get the blood flowing back to the brain… let’s rock!
****Marina**** Quick Fix for status update extra code warning (Warning: call_user_func_array() [function.call-user-func-array]: First argument is expected to be a valid callback, ‘bp_community_stats_status_count_posted_clear_cache’ was given in /var/www/hotforwords.com/htdocs/wp-includes/plugin.php on line 395)

As soon as I saw that Disqus thing, the vision of some ginormous new block of code that we will have to deal with appeared in my head. What does “Reply to your next comment via email….” mean? How will it know what my “next” comment will be and why would I want to reply to it? Obviously this is just a bit of muddled verbiage that needs to be cleaned up. (PS: “…your respond” should be “…your response.”) What happens if I choose not to sign up?
Don’t you dare get a tattoo! Not even a little one. A tatto on a beautiful female is just graffitti.
Are the room backgrounds in the latest videos (other than the red bed) green-screened in? The decor looks too modern and perfect to be real.
Why is the comment box effectively only two lines high? All that scrolling around is an inconvenience; we should be able to see a two-inch-high comment in one view.

Marina,
With nearly 600 video uploads on your main YouTube channel do you still have the excitement or nervousness that you had uploading your 1st or 2nd video?
I was excited when I uploaded the first two videos I put on YT. For 1, The only person in them was you! :) And 2, Because of number 1 I knew I’d put a smile on your face and your fans would probably like them too. However, for video number 3 I was a giant nerveball. I mean really, if you were posting something like Hoarder Wars you’d be a tad nervous as well.
“have” yeah and yeah no of course, and yes, it’s something very beautiful from here (the moon ahah)

me the chicanos lol
I don’t want to hurt you, but I noticed that your messages became barely comprehensible again. I understand that you experience a flight of ideas in your head, but I think you should try to concentrate if you are able to do it and write less posts, but more informative ones. It would be sad for Marina to be forced to add you to the black list.
No no you don’t but thanks i guess, it’s nice!!
No no you don’t but thanks i guess, it’s nice!!
You probably can’t comprehend the same because he’s got a very strong British accent with all sorts of sophisticated spellings like “Mawina”, madam, chicanos and the same.
I appreciate your British sense of humo(u)r. It is so abstract and multi-level! Nothing similar to shallow American jokes about a farting dog.
PS. Dear Marina, the farting sound at the end of your video disgusted me much!
Blabla, ur nearly as cool as me ma, it’s awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ahahahhahhah
hm yeah.
Also i want to wish a good living without me, i know thas hard d:-D
and, yeah like something sweet more, ok yulat’

Maybe you are both so beautiful and intelligent at the same time becAuse you are the product of selective breeding in Russia? I had seen a doccumentary on LINK TV about Eugenics in the 1900′s. Some countries tried selective breeding to produce super kids who were both geniusses and physically attractive. They sure did a good job with you!! You are the Real Thing!!! Said with Love.
You seem self confident but are you cautious about marriage as someone may take advantage of you? What styles of music do you like and which of those styles do you keep hidden from others? The modeling lip thing is hilarious, I know just what you’re talking about.

Question for Marina:
Which language do you like more: English or Russian?
Which one do you feel more comfortable with?
Which one do you find more beautiful?
Which one do you regard as more precise?
Do you dream in English or still in Russian?
Do you subvocalize your thoughts in English or some of them in Russian?
Are some domains of your life associated with thinking in English and others with thinking in Russian?
Is your “verbal” content of your mind and memory a mix of English and Russian, or has everything gotten automatically translated by your subconscience into English?
In the 60′s I had a friend who was a Japanese transplant and he could remember the exact moment that he first thought in English (vs. translating it mentally). I guess that is when you really know a language. I think it would be kind of scary if I suddenly thought of something and it wasn’t in English.
When I write in English, I don’t need to translate it from my mother tongue, but I’m still far from the real knowledge of English. But it’s probably the first indication that the real knowledge of the language is attainable.
Sometimes I think of something and then realize it is not in my native language – and it doesn’t seem scary at all.
That’s funny because I don’t live in any English-speaking country and there is no variant of English that I may stick to. So my mind contains a mix of everything. When I for example write on American forums (like here) I try to use American vocabulary and spelling and when I write on British forums I try to do it according the British rules. Sometimes I mistake them.
What should be universal English of the Internet like?
I will perceive my English as good when I can discuss every topic with the same ease as in my native language and when I’m able to throw some rhymes in English without much thinking.
Are You Single?
The answer to that always will have to be yes, even if it isn’t, because she is flirting with us all the time. That wouldn’t work out so well if she were married. I believe she is single, but is that the truth or merely the result of a careful and thorough propaganda campaign?
Yes, I noticed. She even tries to flirt with aLx, but he still remains cruel and unmoved by her advances.
You notice things correctly :impressed:
You notice things correctly :impressed:
what do you mean, “even”? wtf, dude. oO
nah, i’m good in my poptartless world. :|
What’s funny is that I bought a case of them for you and they stayed in my trunk so long and it was so hot I was afraid to send them! :-(
somehow i don’t see how this is funny. :|

________________________________
I noticed a paradox: American English is more European than British English; it seems to be easier to understand for foreigners and more compatible with the continental European languages than British English. British people tend to use more sophisticated phrases, more idioms, more oblique statements than Americans. Furthermore, idiomatic expressions coined in the USA are more intuitive than the British ones, even the American slang is more intuitive with meanings easier to deduce from the context.
Hi fglrx,
Where are you from? (and any other info you want to share) You are a very literate person.
I’m from Poland. I’ve never lived or even been to any English-speaking country, all what I know is only based on books and the Internet. I’m fascinated very much with the English language and I try to do everything to know it better and better every month.
I’m still afraid of sharing too much information about me here. I used to wrote on many forums in the past and some people could easily google me if I revealed too much about myself.
You are doing very well with the use of the English language.
I like how you wrote… “people could easily google me”. It sounds kinda funny in a way.
A guy walks into the doctor’s office and the doctor asks, “What can I help you with?” The guy says, “I think I have a split personality.” Doctor asks, “How so?”. The guy replies, “When people start ‘googling’ me… I SPLIT!”. funny?! no?
Yes, I am in Canada. I live in an igloo. I snack on back bacon and sip maple syrup while watching NHL hockey on TV… besides visiting HotForWords of course!
Yes, I try to be kinda funny here, as it’s not the type of forum when we are expected to be deadly serious.On the other hand, believe or not, even if I can write in English, I’m not good at speaking English. My spoken English still remains at the level of a kindergarten child or even not. When I write, I have some time to retrieve the needed words from my memory, but in speech everything must happen real-time. If you tried to talk to me, you’d be shocked. Every time when I “talked” to native speakers or just people from abroad who knew English, I cried later with helplessness and shame. Foreign languages are definitely not child’s play.Here we can experiment with the language with no negative consequences, even if it’s not our mother tongue (although for most of users it is).I would add that Canada is a great country, similar to the Scandinavian countries in Europe, with a very high standard of life and without such a mess as it sometimes happens in the USA.
According to the US Department of Defense, Polish ranks in Category III of difficulty for a native English speaker, together with other Slavic languages (the top Category IV includes Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean).
above information sourced from….> http://hubpages.com/hub/Most-difficult-languages-Polish
WHY POLISH IS THIS WAY
Polish belongs to the family of Slavic languages, along with Russian, Ukrainian, Czech, Croatian etc. All those languages are synthetic languages, which means the interactions between words are expressed by manipulating the form of a word, unlike e.g. in English, which manipulates word order to express those interactions. Moreover, all words are gender-specific. That is why it is not enough to memorise a word – it is also necessary to learn how this word needs to be changed to express desired meaning, what is its gender, etc.
The Polish language and culture have been in close contact with foreign languages and cultures since the beginning of Polish statehood in the 10th century AD.

Yes, I am in Canada. I live in an igloo. I snack on back bacon and sip maple syrup while watching NHL hockey on TV… besides visiting HotForWords of course!
Maybe it’s because the majority of the first Americans came from Europe (with people, who didn’t speak english). I think there’s still a big difference between the UK and the continental Europe (I’ve never been in the UK, but my teacher told me this).
I’m not very good in english, so I started to improve it a few months ago. Since then I (try to) read English books, watch english videos and surf more on english internet sites. That’s the reason why I discovered Marina’s YouTube channel.
I hope it will help me to improve my english (without getting an russian accent :-) ).
I also came to the same conclusion about American English as you.
This is wild… a lot of people on this site are “English second language” and you would never know it.
You can recognize some ESL speakers by not always proper use of the definite and indefinite articles – both underuse or overuse (it also happens to the users of e.g. other Germanic languages where articles exist but have more regular rules of use). That’s one of the only few types of errors that the native speakers never commit.
The users of this site aren’t very multicultural – mainly well-educated males of European descent and liberal views. The other types of users have been gradually disappearing for over 1 year.
Lovely jubbley fglrx! Quite a mighty paradox indeed! So the fact that American English is easier to understand, uses less sophisticated sentences, is closer to slang and more intuitive than British English makes it more European then? So Canadian English would be a little more Asiatic then, and Australian English a bit more African, right?I noticed also this strange paradox: Indian English is more American than British English, which seems to be a little more alien, as there is a slight Klingonian outer space flavour into it. This is without mentionning the Scottish English, which seems to be more compatible with China actually.
No, Asian languages belong to a different language family than Indo-European languages and this fact makes any variant of English incredibly hard for people natively speaking Asian languages.
I wrote about the semantic structure of American English that is more similar to the languages used in continental Europe (especially Germanic and Romance) than in British English. As about slang, I didn’t claim that AE is more slangy, but that the American slang seems more intuitive than the British slang.
The whole issue may make sense. The USA were created and settled through a few ages by people from many European countries, not only from Britain, so the variant of the language used in the USA has more influences of other European languages than British English has (or rather many variants of English used in the UK have).
Scouse and Geordie – even some British people have problems with understanding them – that’s how English with less European influences really sounds.
I noticed you said “The USA were….” That’s British, because they refer to collective nouns (like company, club, etc.) in the plural; Americans refer to them in the singular, e.g. “The USA was…” We think of the noun as a single entity, whereas the Brits think of the individuals that comprise the group.
Now what happens when a company, say, consists of one person? Do the Brits have to know the makeup of a group in order to properly use it, or do they simply assume that a group is comprised of more than one member?
Since now I will remember that the name of the United States, although looks like a plural form, is officially singular and has been treated as such since the end of the Civil War.
As for the collective common nouns like club, company, what what should be the rule in International English or offshore English? The American form seems to be more logical than the British one and consistent with many other languages, where the predicate should remain in agreement with the subject also in terms of the grammatical number.
How about the double accent problem… I was in a math class and the professor was from India and there was a also Chinese girl in class (they both had accents).
Everyone else in the class could understand the girl or the professor perfectly.
But if they tried to talk to each other the accents were incomprehensible to one another.
They were both speaking English but needed an English interpreter anyway.
I’m not making fun of them… it was just pretty funny.
I know what you are saying….I was in an {economic class}(university) with an
asian lady from Thailand; and the professor was from Pakistan—now look at
indo-china/france & colony

How many close friends do you have? (Offline)
Were you popular in school and do you remember your favorite teacher?
Do you have a secret talent and what is it?
good questions. If I may, the last question about Love is deep. I think that religion is very broad in scope because it deals with beliefs concerned with ultimate values and
actions. When power and authority is given to people the use of that power can be used
for good or bad. So, Humility in a good sense and mercy, with tolerance must be follow-
ed. I beleive that any society secular or religious can be arbitary and follow a might is right agenda. You are right to expect mercy and justice from any religion. In JESUS’sreligion, his brother James wrote, in Jamesa Chapter1, verse 27:Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this:to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep being polluted by the world./ I hope this can help.all my best.
Yes, that last question about love is deep.
So what you could be saying there is Religion is pure, it’s the people that can be evil and the cause of wars?
I didn’t come up with that question ‘Why do religions that support love cause so many wars?’ myself. That question is just something I can relate too and it expresses my feelings towards religion in general. I could say that religions have never been about love. They are about lies, deceit and last but not least, control. I know, it’s probably more complicated then that. I did attempt to read the bible of Jesus’s religion years ago and for some reason became fixated on just these passages:
Matthew 10:34-36 Jesus said “Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword. For I have come to set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; and a man’s foes shall be they of his own household.”
Luke 12:49-53 Jesus said “I came to send fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled! But I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how distressed I am till it is accomplished! Do you suppose that I came to give peace on earth? I tell you, not at all, but rather division. For from now on five in one house will be divided: three against two, and two against three. Father will be divided against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.”
These sound like they contradict Luke 2:14 “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwill toward men!” You hear this in some Christmas movies.
I feel that if you happen to be a nonbeliever of these faiths and think outside of their box, they may tell you that they are accepting of others but deep down inside if you don’t follow their way, you are dead to them. Jesus said he is the way, the only way. Let’s not forget them muslims either.
Sorry about my long reply back. It’s just a little opinion. I could add more but I’ll just leave it like this for now.
-Peace from VenomRocK ;-)
:)
That’s one of his best bits. :-) m/
George was my favorite. He was one of the good ones.
Hello VenomRock I think Jesus was speaking metaphorically his death alone proves that. He was speaking of division and separation. That people did not expect him and people would not expect his followers. Anything can be took out of context ? :-) have a good day
Lots of things can be taken out of context, sometimes with deadly
consequences. ;-)
hi.please keep in mind that the elite in Jesus’s day,both Jew and Roman, rejected Christ to keep their
power,and had him executed. Jesus warned his hearers that his -give all or nothing for God and others- would divide families and everyone in society. The poor in spirit and pure in heart would see God one day;and he said, Blessed are the peacemakers. He always acted in love. I hope this helps. I struggle but believe in his death in our place, and hi mercy .
Well, I’m not going to argue to say that you’re wrong on what you believe. If it helps you get through your struggles then I guess it would be a positive for your life. ;-)I’ve seen it with people who rely on faith to get them through hard times. Hey, if they believe that’s what helped them out, more power to them.I think that it’s the individual that has the will power to overcome obstacles. Mind over matter but sometimes the obstacle can be just too great and that’s just the way it is.
I haven’t seen you on the O’Reilly Factor in awhile, where have you been? It was one of my favorite segments of his. Do you think Putin takes Obama as weak? If you still follow politics in your home country of course.
Besides word origins, what are some of your other favorite hobbies?
AWESOME video Marina!!! :-) Yes, I like the setting! Use it more! I agree, Melissa is AWESOME!!!! :-)
Marina has a great sense of humor! Only intelligent people can laugh at themselves. (Blessed are those who can laugh at themselves, for they shall never cease to be amused). She demonstrates a better perception of word-based humor in her new language than 1/3 of the native speakers of English (see the tweet with the joke about the blonde and the password and the reactions to it).PS. Her vivid gestures and facial expression must have been one of the reasons why she drew attention of so many Youtube viewers. She has her own style, impossible to imitate. You can love her or hate her, but you are not able to stay indifferent. PSPS. Marina has such a strong personality! She’s a kind of person who can achieve everything she wants. A bunch of haters are constantly trying to hurl abuse at her, but their insults only backfire on them.

A man driving home late at night in his Volkswagen beetle car was stopped by policemen on patrol. The Police asked the man to produce his car document. When they could not fault the document, the next question to the man was: “My friend, do you realise that you committed a criminal offence by driving alone in this car at late night?” The man became angry and responded: “How could you say that? God the Father, the son and holy spirit, prophet Elijah and Angels Michael and Gabriel are all with me in the car.” The policeman replied: “You mean, all these people are in this small car> I charge you for overloading!”

A Weird Al Video
School Papers Part 1
A compilation of statements from actual grade school papers:
1. Ancient Egypt was inhabited by mummies and they all wrote in Hydraulics. They lived in the Sarah Dessert and the climate of the Sarah is such that the inhabitants have to live elsewhere.
2. Moses led the Hebrew slaves to the Red sea, where they made unleavened bread which is bread without any ingredients. Moses went up on Mount Cyanide to get the ten commandments. He died before he ever reached Canada.
3. Solomon had three hundred wives and seven hundred porcupines.
4. The Greeks were a high;y sculptured people, and without then we wouldn’t have history. The Greeks also had myths. A Myth is a female moth.
5. Actually, Homer was not written by Homer but by another man of that name.
6. Socrates was a famous Greek teacher who went around giving people advice. They killed him. Socrates died from an overdose of wedlock. After his death his career suffered a dramatic decline.
7. Eventually the Romans conquered the Greeks. History calls people Romans because they never stayed in on place for long.
8. Julius Caesar extinguished himself on the battlefield of Gaul. The ides of March murdered him because they thought he was going to be made king. Dying, he gasped out: “Tee hee, Brutus. ‘
9. Joan of Arc was burnt to a steak and was canonized by Bernard Shaw. Finally Magna Carta provided that no man should be hanged twice for the same offence.
10. Another story was William Tell who shot an arrow through an apple while standing on his sons head.
School Papers, Part II
A compilation of statements from actual grade school papers:
11. Queen Elizabeth was the ‘Virgin Queen.’ As a Queen she was a great success. When she exposed herself before her troops they all shouted ‘hurrah.’
12. It was an age of great inventions and discoveries. Gutenberg invented removable type and the Bible. Another important invention was the circulation of blood. Sir Walter Raleigh is a historical figure because he invented cigarettes and started smoking.
13. The greatest writer of the Renaissance was William Shakespeare. He was born in the year 1564, supposedly on his birthday. He never made much money and is famous only because of his plays. He wrote Tragedies, comedies, and hysterectomies, all in Islamic pentameter. Romeo and Juliet are an example of heroic couplet.
14. Writing at the same time as Shakespeare was Miguel Cervantes. He wrote Donkey Hote. The next great author was John Milton. Milton wrote Paradise Lost, Then his wife died and he wrote Paradise Regained.
15. One of the causes of the revolutionary War was the English put tacks in their tea. Also the colonists would send their parcels through the post without stamps. Finally the colonists won the war and no longer had to pay for taxis. Delegates from the original 13 states formed the contented congress. Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin were two singers of the declaration of independence. Franklin discovered electricity by rubbing two cats backwards and declared, ‘ A horse divided against itself cannot stand.’
Franklin died in 1790 and is still dead.
16. Johann Bach wrote a great many musical compositions and had a large number of children. In between he practiced on an old spinster which he kept up in his attic. Bach died from 1750 to the present. Bach was mostly famous composer in the world and so was Handel, Handel was half German and Half Italian and half English. He was very large.
17. Beethoven wrote music even though he was deaf. He was so deaf he wrote loud music. He took long walks in the forest even when everyone was calling for him. Beethoven expired in 1827 ans later died from this.
18. The ninteenth century was a time of a great many thoughts and inventions. People stopped reproducing by hand and started reproducing by machine. The invention of the steam boat caused a network of rivers to spring up. Cyrus McCormick invented the McCormick raper, which did the work of a hundred men.
19. Louis Paster discovered a cure for rabbis. Charles Darwin was a naturalist who wrote the organ of the species. Madam Curie discovered radio. And Karl Marx became one of the Marx Brothers.
20. The first world war, caused by the assignation of the Arch Duck by an anahist, ushered in a new error in the anals of human history.
Expressions Explained, Part 1
In George Washinton’s days, there were no cameras. One’s image was either sculpted or painted. Some paintings of George Washington showed him standing behind a desk with one arm behind his back while others showed both legs and both arms. Prices charged by painters were not based on how many people were to be painted, but by how many limbs were to be painted. Arms and legs are “limbs” therefore painting them would cost the buyer more. Hence the expression, “Okay, but It’ll cost you an arm and a leg.”
—
As incredible as it sounds, men and women took baths only twice a year (May and October)! Women kept their hair covered, while men shaved their heads (because of lice and bugs) and wore wigs. Wealthy men could afford good wigs made from wool. They couldn’t wash the wigs, so to clean them they would carve out a loaf of bread, put the wig in the shell, and bake it for 30 minutes. The heat would make the wig big and fluffy, hence the term “big wig.” Today we often use the term ” here comes the Big Wig” because someone appears to be or is powerful and wealthy.
—
In the late 1700s, many houses consisted of a large room with only one chair. Commonly, a long wide board folded down the wall, and was used for dining. The “head of the household” always sat in a chair during while everyone else ate sitting on the floor. Occasionally a guest, who was usually a man, would be invited to sit in this chair during a meal. To sit in the chair meant you were important and in charge. They called the one sitting in the chair the “Chair man.” or “Chairman of the Board.”
—-
Personal hygiene left much room for improvement. As a result, many woman and men had developed acne scars by adulthood. The woman would spread bee’s wax over their facial skin to smooth out their complexions.When they were speaking to each other, if a woman began to stare at another woman’s face she was told, “mind your own bee’s wax.” Should the woman smile.” In addition, when they sat close to the fire, the wax would melt…therefore, the expression losing face.”
——
Expressions Explained Part 2
Ladies wore corsets, which would lace up in the front. A proper and dignified woman, as in “straight laced,” wore a tightly tied lace.
—-
Common entertainment included playing cards. However, there was a tax levied when purchasing playing cards but only applicable to the “Ace of Spades.” To avoid paying the tax, people would purchase 51 cards instead.
Yet, since most games required 52 cards, these people were thought to be stupid or dumb because they weren’t “playing with a full deck.”
—
Early politicians required feedback from the public to determine what the people considered important. Since there were no telephones, TV’s or radios the politicians sent their assistants to local taverns, pubs, and bars. They were told to “go sip some ale” and listen to people’s conversations and political concerns. Many assistants were dispatched at different times. You go sip here” and “You go sip there.” The two words “go sip” were eventually combined when referring to the local opinion and, thus we have the term “Gossip”
—
At local taverns, pubs, and bars people drank from pint and quart-sized containers. A bar maid’s job was to keep an eye on the customers and keep the drinks coming. She had to pay close attention and remember who was drinking in “pints” and who was drinking in “quarts,” hence the term minding your “P’s and Q’s. ”

Computers can never replace humans. They may become capable of artificial intelligence, but they will never master real Stupidity.
False Idols
“Idolatry is committed not merely by setting up false gods, but also setting up false devils.”
A different kind of story
~THE PRINCE AND THE MAGICIAN~
One upon a time there was a young prince, who believed in all things but three. He did not believe in princesses, he didn’t not believe in islands, he did not believe in God.
His father, the king, told him that such things did not exist. As there were no princesses or islands in his father’s domains, and no sign of God, the young prince believed his father.-
-But then, one day, the prince ran away from his palace. He came to the next land. There, to his astonishment, from every coast he saw islands, and on these islands, strange and troubling creatures whom he dared not name. As he was searching for a boat, a man in full evening dress approached him along the shore.
“are those real islands?” asked the young prince.
“Of course they are real islands, ” said the man in evening dress.
“and those strange and troubling creatures?”
“They are all genuine and authentic princesses.”
“Then God also must exist!” cried the prince.
“I am God, ” replied the man in full evening dress, with a bow.
The young prince returned home as quickly as he could.
“So you are back, ” said his father, the king.
“I have seen islands, I have seen princesses, I have seen God,” said the prince reproachfully.
The king was unmoved.
“Neither real islands, nor neat princesses, nor a real God, exist.”
“I saw them”
“Tell me how was God dressed.”
“God was in full evening dress.
“Were the sleeves of his coat rolled back?”
The prince remembered that they had been. The king smiled.
“That is the uniform of a magician. You have been deceived.”
At this, the prince returned to the next land, and went to the same shore, where once again he came upon the man in full evening dress.
“My father the king told me who you are, ” said the young prince indignantly. “you deceived me last time, but not again. Now I know that those are not real islands and real princesses, because you are a magician.
The man on the shore smiled.
“It is you who are deceived, my boy. In your father’s kingdom there are many islands and many princesses. But you are under your father’s spell, so you cannot see them.
The prince returned pensively home. When he saw his father, he looked him in the eyes.
“Father, is it true that you are not a real king, but only a magician?”
The king smiled, and rolled back his sleeves.
“Yes my son, I am only a magician.
“Then the man on the shore was God.”
“the man on the shore was another magician.
“There is no truth beyond magic. ” said the king.
The prince was full of sadness.
He said, ” I will kill myself.”
The king by magic caused death to appear. Death stood in the door and beckoned to the prince. The prince shuttered. He remembered the beautiful but unreal islands and the unreal but beautiful princesses.
“Very well, ” he said. ” I can bear it.”
“You see, my son, ” said the king, “you too now begin to be a magician.”

I’m glad you like some of my posts, I just got around to check, a few of my links that I thought were cool and funny, didn’t work, I tried to transfer them from my email to post here, but it looks like nether one of them worked. Your a beginner Neuroscientist, that sounds cool, I hope you enjoy it!Your a railfan great, not to be to much of a pest, but I thought of this gruesome and true story, about the railroads, if your interested, here is the link Tsavo Maneaters Well you have a good one!

The ultimate dream of Brits in Africa during the colonial times was to build the trans-African railway from Cairo to Cape Town. If it had happened, the economy of Africa might look now quite different.
Questions for Marina…
How well did you get along with your father? Do you stay in touch with him? Does he say anything about your work? What do you like most / least about him (aside from snotty handkerchiefs)?
My reason for asking: I am the father of two beautiful, bright, blonde, bilingual teenage daughters, and wondering how they’ll think of me in ten years… :wink:

Will you be selling another calender for 2011?
Hey Trusty… there are only a certain amount of different calendars. For instance 2011 is the same as 2022 and 2033.
http://www.timeanddate.com/calendar/repeating.html?&year=2011
If you put that info on your calender… not only will it be unique but people will also save it. How can you toss-out something still usable (even if you have to wait eleven years)?
Loved the pop quiz! Give you an A+. Do you have any family–brothers, sisters? Why is it that Russian women are so hot?
What would be the speed of lightning if it didn’t zigzag?
If olive oil is made from squeezing olives, then what is baby oil made from?
The speed is always the same*, whether it zigzags or takes any other path. It is the time of travel from one place to the other that would change if the length of the path changes. Yes, I know that is being picky, but you asked, didn’t you?
*Disregarding other variables, such as the exact chemical makeup of the air, the temperature, the humidity and the like.
Because the lightning follows the path of the least resistance, if it didn’t zigzag, although its speed would remained the same (see Camp Kohler), it would have less amperage, so the discharge would last longer to pass the whole electric charge from the cloud to the ground.
“An ANGLE”??? Do you mean an “ANGEL”? (Are you an obtuse angle???)
How long do you think you can keep making a profit off of the “Hot For Words” property?
Do you foresee yourself doing anything different in the future, like having your own language teaching program like Rosetta Stone, or maybe getting married and having children??
Also, since you are (were?) Russian, do you like caviar and vodka? What are some of your favorite foods?
Did you get American citizenship or are you still have Russian?
What do you want most for Christmas, Marina?
From a Welsh perspective, Angles weren’t angels. :evil:

A Russian, a German and an American were walking through the desert. They were exhausted and out of water. Suddenly a devil appeared and told them they would die soon but before the death they would be given a chance to drink their favorite beverage. They need only to say loudly the name of the beverage when jumping into a lake that will become filled with it.The Russian started to run and jumped, yelling ‘Vodka!’The German started to run and jumped, yelling ‘Bier!’The American started to run, slipped on the sand and fell down, yelling “Oh, shit!”
Oh, a new feature. Nice
What is your favorite color?

Dear Marina,
You look wonderful in this video! It’s nice to see you with bright red lipstick, because you usually wear lighter colors. The lipstick color fits with the new, snazz7y, bright wheels you bought for your BMW convertible! It was like giving your car Louboutin shoes, hm? Well, it all looks great!
Per your instructions, I saw a few of the Hot For Food videos. Because I already cook welll enough, I’m not too interested, s she did ordinary items like burgers, sloppy joe sandwiches and such. I’d rather learn how to fold Pelmeni, or make more Dim Sum. Yum Yum!
Here’s a question for your next pop quiz video: Are you a loud girl? When you hear a good joke, do you laugh out big and loud? I have a feeling that you are very noisy when you are happy, and I hope I will find that out someday!
I went shopping this weekend, but I didn’t buy any more Neuro drinks. I did have lunch ar a Carl’s Jr. restaurant. Are you still doing commercials for them?
