Many people think that it’s better to have a purebred dog but what most people don’t know is that “mutts” last alot longer than purebred dogs. I think because they get traits from both species.

jeg ser på engelske sider, leser masse engelsk, ser på enelske filmer og hører på engelske snakke. f.eks: deg, tv og alle andre steder. og på skolen min da.
er jeg mutt i hode hvis jeg er dom?

Two of my nieces have the same breed of Dog that you do–nice breed, fun too. One is the $10,000 dog, a long story, my brother has a big heart…
My sister just got a Maltipoo, another ‘nice’ breed. Is this dog a mutt since it is mixed? Or, since its origins are known (two blood lines) is it just a new breed? I thought mutt was an unknown blood line (not able to trace) rather than just mixed…
My guess: until the breed is officially recognized by the ‘Dog World’ it’s a mutt; most likely there are ‘Dog’ politics involved I’m sure.
In response to your video Hara-kiri, what about a word that is about an action that could be uplifting? I am requesting that you do a video on the word philematology…
Hey can you tell me where the term “Colonel” came from and why it is pronounced “kernel” instead of “ka-lone-al”? And what does it mean exactly and why did they use it as a rank in the military? If you could explain, that’d be great (and if you do, don’t forget to put my name in the video lol).
HI!… Saludos desde México!
Iwould like to know the origin of the word tremendous, and also; does it have any relation with the phrase “delirium tremens”…
I have two “mutts” and they are both the smartest dogs I ever owned!!!! If I could figure out how to send a pic…I would!!! Regardless, I am so in love with you!!!!!! (yea, me and all the other horn dogs….horn mutts????…. who watch yur videos!!!!!)
When we were talking before, you criticized evolution by asking whether it was my view that “everything came from nothing – poof.” I pointed out that the theory of evolution does not explain how matter came to be, or even how life first came to be, but rather concerns the change of life over time that has occurred since life on Earth began.
The “where everything comes from” question – has to do with the cosmological theory, rather than evolution.
The third video addresses your EXACT QUESTION of “life popping out of nowhere” and explains quite clearly that scientists do NOT believe or theorize that life popped out of nowhere.
I have a friend who has traveled the world doing deep cave exploration as a professional caving guide and accompanied teams of scientists doing research in some of the deepest and gnarliest underground environments ever studied. He jokes that spelunkers are people who get lost in caves (amateurs, apparently) and that cavers are the people who are sent down to rescue them. I guess it’s a nomenclature thing. It really pisses him off when people refer to him as a spelunker. I usually wait until he’s had a few, so I can call him a drunker spelunker, but only if I have already planned my escape route, lol.
In light of the recent passing of one of my family members, the thought popped in my head about the word ‘Obituary’. Where exactly did this word come from?
from the New Testament, Revelation13:18 “Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.”
a score = 20, so the “beast,” or Antichrist is signified by 666…
In Biblical numerology the # 6 represents “Man” or mankind. The “Man” (or man who controls the Beast) who is to come will be, for lack of a better word, represented by the #666. Some believe that 666 can be translated as the mark his followers must have and is the mathematically equivalent to three 6 digit numbers, unique to each individual, implanted on the right hand or forehead. Anyways as with the discovery of good technology turned to bad ie (nuclear power) The technology exists & has good uses now (not unlike cocomment) such as tracking of animals & people. But can be taken over by bad intent (rather tame words on purpose), Anyways that’s enough for now. http://www.rapturechrist.com/666.htm and many other sites to help clarify or even confuse.

we’ve passed 250 comments, time for a refresher… please give your 2 cents on the following ~ idea ~ would be great just to get as many opinions as possible, to help Marina make up her mind.
Marina, may I add something about mutton. The french origin of the word is according to Diez latin mutilus. In Roman Switzerland, Grison, Come Lake areas mot and mult means castrated. Everything here shows that a mutton is more apt to consumption than for reproduction. The similar etymology if foung in german where “hammel” the german mutton comes from “hamal”: castrated.
It is then very likely that the users of mutton in slang for dogs or women did not knew the etymology of the word, but probably associated it with “multitude” or gregarious/stupid instinct.
In french you have the female called “brebis” the male called “belier” the castrated male called “mouton” and the baby called “agneau”.
I recomend “agneau”. Then two options the very young still drinking milk from the mother “agneau de lait” or the one eating grass from the Mont Saint Michel land where tide make the grass salted “agneau de pre-sale”.
A nice recipe is the 7 hours lamb leg. A very slow cooking for the easter sunday family table. http://www.marmiton.org/recettes/recette.cfm?num_recette=12368
After working in the mountains one month keeping sheeps, the young sheepflocker ask to the experienced one what he does to deal with the separation from the feminine gender. The old and wise sheepflocker just shows the flock. The young padawan sheepflocker is in shock but after another month of solitudeness he decide to try it with one of the sheep of the flock. Because of the noise the old master come by and sees the scene, he starts laughing, so the other is all ashamed and don’t understand why he is mocked, so the master had to tell him what was his mistake:
“you took the ugliest!”
(there is also a completly diferent version with a camelflocker)
I had a Siberian Husky, but he got an infection and i had too have him put too sleep. He was a Purebred Show dog but we kept him as a pet.I will have to search for the pictures before i can email them. He is the smartist dog i ever had the pleasure of owning, him and his daughter were are both very smart.
Homework: http://www.abc.net.au/animals/dog_test/default.htm
I have no dog so can’t do the test. But I’m curious to see if some dog-owners can do it and give us the result together with the dog pedigree.
Unless you have a requirement for specific work or hunting dog, you’re best bet is a mutt. it’s possible to go wrong there, too. My friend adopted an adorable pit bull – boxer mix pup which turned out to be a super bionic dog suitable for only the more knowledgeable dog owner. That dog was all energy and muscle. He must’ve mated with every bitch in the valley.
That phone number was an accual phone number here in my city. The people that had it had to have it changed after that song came out. There was an artical in our news paper about it
Petite Marine, je parle de toi car avec ta petite voix…t’as versé sur ma vie des milliers de roses…this immortal French song talks about you Marina …..
I absolutely do not like this derogatory term used to refer to those nice pets which are even smarter and more sensitive then ”pure breed dogs”. Unfortunately in France and in italy languages use even a ruder word for them: It=bastardino(lit. means little bastard) fr=batard…German language is definetely more polite,using the word ”Mischling”,from Mischung=mixture Curious to see how in Russian we refer to them as ”дворняги”-dvornyagi ,from the word дворня,-dvornya=servitude…….interesting.
Hey, I would like to make a request for the word “gross.”
I’m just wondering how it got its slang definition of “disgusting” when it is used in a much different way in other subjects like economics or neuroscience.

well, your asking an anthropologist about evolution so… yeah, that’s what i think. but i’ll look into marina’s eyes. let’s see… holy shit, pixels! now marina isn’t just a philologist, she’s proof of the existence of god. your very talented, looking into her eyes, seeing god and kissing her ass all at the same time. the whole “the eyes are the windows of the soul” bit doesn’t really do much for me. yo, prospero811 here’s an opportunity for you to actually agree with me on something. eyes started out as light sensitive cells that over time developed into the organs we refer to as the eyes. that’s what i think. not asking you to think any differently, just commenting, because commenting is sexy… as long as it satisfies the rules of “standard english grammar” otherwise commenting is just human. which evolved from primates. i can see it in their eyes. har har!
Ok maybe you did not read this post. He was responding to me saying ( look in to Marinas eyes and tell me there is no god..) How is that starting a fight on the evolution of the eye?

roadrunrnch;
Did you say Buzzword started a very controversial theory? That’s a riot. But before you embarrass yourself engaging our busy teacher, get out your fifth grade biology textbook, or steal one from a 10 year-old. Read about light-sensing cells in earthworms. Do the planaria exercise on page 220. It’s “A little deep but I believe you are up to it…” This time don’t just copy your neighbors’ answers. Maybe you’ll learn something, unless eyes are just a theory and yours haven’t been created yet…
Bob have you ever been in the military. In survival school for long range reconisence they put a table in front of you with different dishes of food on them. You go from plate to plate sampling the food. When every one is through they turn over plackards that tell what you have just eaten. It’s every thing from dog, snake, monky, insects to roots and berries. Just sounds yummy doesn’t it. If you’r hungry enough you’ll even eat boiled okra.
Hello Bob,
I forgot all about that show! I should have noticed the likeness. See, everybody wants their name mentioned and here you had yours mentioned AND you also had a guest appearance! First on 2 counts since that was before Marina started doing the “T.P” in her shows.
A belated CONGRATULATIONS! Now I’ll have to go back and read the comments. Have a great time gloating as all others grovel.
Well, since the post you cut-and-pasted from referenced me, I will say that I never read it before. But, I’m not sure what the controversy is? Is it evolution? If so, there really is no controversy (among biologists, geneticists, paleontologists, etc.) regarding evolution. That being said, what brought all this up anyway?
Hey Guys anyone heard from prospero811? His big day . Maybe He has a life outside…? Too damn Hot in So Calif. 115* at my Place. Better to stay in a annoy Y’All.
Back on the HOT site

if you’d like and read it all.
If you want to find out what this is about, take a good look through the previous vid replies (hot) as he referenced above. Buzzword (BZW) made some observations about evolution theory, namely that a sizeable gap seems to exist between documented scientific evidence and creationism, and roadrunrnch sort of fell into it that gap face first, poor guy: the specific subject roadrunrnch raised was EYES — were they created or did they evolve? Buzz totally had it under control. Notice how he’s conspicuously absent; he did his bit and left. He even invited you to comment, but you were missing.
My fault, I should have just let roadrunrnch dig his own hole instead of assuming there’s a person in there who actually wishes to interact on an intellectual level with others or, Dog forbid, learn something. My primary mistake is that when progress toward such an end is negative I sometimes allow disappoinment to flavor my discourse somewhat (as seen in his copy-and-pasted quote from me above), especially when I’m not well-rested. My bad. Now he thinks I’m targeting him when poking fun would be a more accurate description. Some don’t respond as well as others to that, I guess. But it’s hard to recall an unguided missile once something sparks its fuse, as I’m sure you’re well aware.
What does being condescending and self riches have to do with teaching?
Your ideals are flawed and totally inconclusive. Moreover, I don’t choose to lock step with you off the cliff of ignorance, please for give me my arrogance.

My ideals? I don’t disclose them. Maybe you mean ideas (which aren’t mine anyway). Boy, you are difficult to understand. I recommend Whitesmoke.
This is SCIENCE we were talking about. It’s stuff that’s documented, proven, and published; a done deal. I learned it in college courses and university courses, and earned every bit of it by working hard.
Ad hominem attacks do not a sound argument make. If you perceive university education as the pathway to ignorance, there isn’t much anyone can do for you in terms of teaching, my friend.
actually its a quit simple word that everyone takes for granted and it never complains back,and it has alot of stress on it. The word i would like to request is
“CHAIR”
A French friend of mine recently pointed out that if English made any sense, then the words “overlook”, “oversight”, “oversee”, and “overview” would all mean about the same thing. The first two both mean about the same thing, and the latter two have related connotations. We discussed it a bit, and my wife pointed out that it hinges on two different uses of the word “over”. In the one sense, to “skip over” something, and in the other sense, “to be above” something. Now that sounds right, but how did these four words find their way into the English language? I’d guess that they entered separately (at least first two versus latter two), and it’s just a small English mashup snafu that these four words mean separete things.
So, Ms. Smartypants, can you shed some light on these words? Thanks a bunch HotForPants!
I’d like to learn the origin of the word ‘cocktail’. It’s such a dirty sounding word for such a nice thing. Perhaps someone tasted a nasty drink and said, “This tastes like it came out of a rooster’s butt!”
I’d like to request a word, if I may. I heard the word ‘knight’ was French in origin, and yet they also have the word ‘paladin’. Aren’t the two words basically the same thing? What do the two words mean, and where do they come from? Thank you!
Marina, I can no longer find the place to rate your video. It used to be a little line of “kisses,” but they aren’t there now. I always gave you the maximum amount of kisses, but now I can’t do that, since they aren’t there.
Boy, was it difficult to access the site today. I guess my computer wanted to seek its old pathway no matter what I was trying to type into the address box. I had to go to youtube, which shunted me over to the German site for some reason, where I finally accessed the homepage from there. Once here, the page loaded faster than usual, though. Some progress has obviously been made. Good for you, you pulled it off.
Getting down to business, I believe that some cross-breeding is bound to improve many dogs’ intelligence level, and that severe inbreeding can be a detriment to it. There will always be exceptions, but that’s my uneducated opinion.
I’m not allowed to have a dog where I live, so I have a pet jumping spider named Magenta. She’s a Phidippus johnsonii, or Johnson’s Jumper. I’ve been trying to get her a date since January, but she has a tendency to play a little rough. She overpowered and ate her first suitor before he had a chance to calm her down (they do a dance that puts girls in a trance), even though she had just been fed. So I’m screening male applicants based on size and strength. The babies are extremely cute, and are great to release in the garden because they provide excellent bug police as well as endless hours of entertaining gymnastics.
pennsyltucky9, I was upgrading the server.. started last night at 5:30.. and they didn’t finish with all the problem until just recently! Sorry about that! But hopefully the server will be faster moving forward!
Last year we had a garden spider make her web and nest on a plant on our front porch. We called her Charlotte. We would watch for hours as she would wait for flies or bugs to land in her web then rush to them and spin her web around the insects. A male came along and they did their thing then she ate him, bad way to go after having sex I could think of better ways to go. She made a pouch and laid her eggs in it and after a few weeks the babies were born, hatched what ever you call it for a spider. It was very interresting. I guess I need to get a life after retiring instead of waisting my day on things like that. It was quite a spectical to see though.
That’s not a waste of time at all! You should consider yourself fortunate that you have the time and space to notice what’s really going on in your world. You definitely HAVE a life, and it’s one you choose to live, so don’t denigrate yourself for taking in the beaty of what’s left of our natural world. People aren’t the only ones here (so far!) and we have a lot to learn from all our neighbors, whether or not we choose to see them that way.
Most of all, I’m impressed that you have retained your sense of wonderment and curiosity enough after working all your life that you still appreciate this kind of event. Kudos to you, Mike!
Spiders are predators, so they have to be smarter than their prey to survive. They don’t have it easy, none of us do. And even in the process of getting eaten, the males are taking the most positive step they possibly can toward supporting their young by donating their own nutrients to the process. Imagine making that kind of sacrifice to the survival of your bloodline. Many a male has gone the same way, and I’m not just talking about arachnids. I separate mine and release the males so they live to mate again because I know I’ll feed the female. She gets real hungry when she starts eating for 75!
pennysyltucky9 really said it, what you just described beats anything (type of show) they’ve ever put on T.V. A lot of people are out there ‘getting a life’ but they have know idea how to share, or how to enjoy a cloud, or etc. etc.
capman911,
Not many people “take time to smell the flowers”. You’re blessed on many levels. I laugh when some people say that I’m “wasting my time” when I notice a scene that you’ve witnessed. I grew up watching Mutual of Omaha, Jacques Cousteau and other shows that are similar so I can’t help myself.
Laugh all you want, but I have a friend who once had a pet bee–for over four-and-a-half months –until his girlfriend accidentally killed it. No, in case you were wondering the bee’s name was not Eric.
Wow, that’s longer than I thought they could live. Too bad about the untimely demise, though. I wonder if it was listed as MIA in the hive all that time!
A little spider moved in my yacht and built a little home. He or she just moved out. Just left the spider house and didn’t even pay any rent. What gives? Am I that annoying? I shower every day! Man even the spiders are running out…
Next time throw a moth in the web, they’re easy to catch and spiders love those. You can be as annoying as you want if you bring home a snack every couple weeks! The food has to be alive and kicking though. That’s the beauty of having a pet spider; you don’t have to feed them for weeks on end and they really don’t care whether or not you bathe regularly!
I am a bit Arachnophobic. When I was young I use go grab spiders all the time. No I didn’t pull off their legs. Me evil step mother was though. I think somehow I picked the the fear from her always screaming when she saw a spider. Many years later I bought a rose hair tarantula. I used to hold it in my hand and I would start to hyperventilate. What a rush! Now im sorta ok with spiders. I did a bit of research on some arachnids at the University of Washington website. On thing I did learn was its even difficult for the experts to properly Identify different species. Also learned about the manymyths about spiders. Check out this fantastic website. Its one of my favorites in debunking myths.
I love these quotes:
“I honestly believe it is better to know nothing than to know what ain’t so.”
– Josh Billings, 1818-1885
“Everything that ‘everybody knows’ about spiders…is wrong!”
– Rod Crawford, Curator of Arachnids, Burke Museum, in Seattle, Wa.
Thanks for showing me that! I learned a few things right off the bat, and I’ll share it with my girlfriend who always calls me in to negotiate with spiders who visit her room. It was also good to read the Josh Billings quote. I’m going to add that one to my list of sign-off quotes for emails. I think it’s right up there with Einstein’s “The more I learn, the more I realize I don’t know.” And, as pagedoll said, “Always learning, always learning.” Good stuff.
I agree with Mr. Billings assessment. I have worked very hard in learning what I know; only to find out much of what I know is bull shit. I wish I could get all those years back.
I’ve been bitten twice by Black Widows, funny thing is that I use to have a fairly healthy (read as major) phobia but after the first time bitten it just sort of disappeared. This second bite is still with me…20 months and fading ever so slowly…Now, I’m working on a shark phobia which can also be cured, but I don’t have to be bitten for this one, I p-r-o-m-i-s-e.
OW! 20 months! I’ve been fortunate in that the only poisonous bites or stings I ever received (besides bee stings) were 1.) a scorpion sting in the Florida Keys, and 2.) a Potuguese man-o’-war sting while riding the surf on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. The man-o’-war sting was more immediately painful, but the scorpion sting lasted weeks.
I’ve been bitten from a rose hair. I was interesting watching her fangs pierce the skin of my hand. Freaked me out! Even though I know Im not going to die I still have a phobia. I even have a phobia of heights. I don’t have a shark phobia. I have petted many nurse sharks to feel very comfortable around them. knowledge is power and the more knowledge you have the more power you have over phobias.
20 months insn’t painful, it’s just like a bruse that slowly dulls over time: moving from black to brown then from green to light green…I don’t know what a rose hair is–and maybe I don’t want to.
I use to swim for hours in & beyond the surf, was once in the water with a Great White; it didn’t scare me or worry me just swam like heck for the shore. BUT, years later when the phobia was in full swing I was uneasy in fresh water lakes.<—go figure
ok4now. You must have been watching to many “Jaws” movies. hehehe
Yea I know what you mean about phobias being missed placed. I can climb up the mast on the Tall Ship Lady Washington and be very comfortable with the heights. But when I walked over a draw bridge at the same height as the Lady W. I get very nervous. Even though Im much safer on the bridge than climbing up the mast. Go figure.
Yea, rose hair tarantulas are a very common pet that you can find in about any pet store. Non poisonous, and mild temper. Easy to breed and to care for. They are good spiders for first time arachnid owners. If you are the kind of guy that forgets to water your plants this might be a good pet for someone. Keep some live bugs in with them and a wet sponge for water and your good to go for a week or more. The hard part might be keeping the bugs alive. Crickets are not to hard. Monkey chow and some water Gelatin keeps them going for a spell.
Yeah, I read the tarantula stuff then caught the rose hair reference after a curiosity attacked. I’m willing to cohabitate with spiders in this world but there is NO WAY I’d have one as a pet, I’d be too tempted to give it a little misting with a Raid can.
In my last job I worked on 2 cats. Well thats what we call them. The Caterpillar Co. built these 1,200 hp (each) engines for the ship that I worked on. They are larger and a VW bus! When I had to do the engine room checks I would call up boss and tell them the kitties are purring like kittens.
My father inlaw was in the Navy in a group called Desron 52 during Korea and WW2.He served on the Marshall and rotated to two other destroyers during that time. He was in the engine room and they used boilers back then. He said the pipes got so hot they would steal steaks and potatos from the gally and cook them on the pipes.
I do not have a dog currently, but I am thinking of getting a Bassett hound like Columbo, and dressing it up in a little raincoat. Then I’m going too sit back and watch the dog solve crimes. It’ll be awesome.
Those are pretty cool dogs errin. Almost like a short legged, long beagle. I had one once, a Basset Hound, but the joker wouldn’t stay home. He liked to roam the neighbor hood.
Mike, do you mean “want” as in we want to bite you or ‘won’t’ as in will not bite? Im so confused. I didn’t get the memo on the new use of the word “want”! Why am I always out of the loop on these things? Am I that annoying?
I need spell check. Want and won’t I forget which one goes where See I had to retype this short comment three times because of misspelled words. I think I am out of the loop on some of these comments. I don’t seem to be able to follow where there going or what some of them mean.
Hey
I was wondering what the word cup means. There are many synonymes of cup. you can
drink coffee from a cup and I also know that there is world cups. You now – sports events.
There is also bra cups. I acctually choosed to ask you about the word cup when I saw your beautiful torso. Don´t take me for a pervert now. I just think you are a beautiful women and your breasts are one of the thinks that makes you wonderful
2 Gs & 1 C! Do we have to go down that road again? It just causes brain damage. So I have this new friend I met on SL (second life) and she is an medical imaging technician. She was telling me stories of what people put in their colons. This one guy had a head of lettuce stuck in his colon. This reminds me of a South Park episode. I guess the guy tried to do what Cartman did in a cartoon. Episode 608 – Red-Hot Catholic Love. Stan says: “Uh, Cartman shoved his lunch up his ass and now he’s tryin’ to crap out his mouth.” Whats with people trying to make things work backwards?
Your damn right I did! hehehe .. Im not giving her any special treatment. It wouldn’t be fair to her. I only poke fun at my friends and I hope they return the fun.
Captainjack is right. We shouldn’t discriminate either for or against Marina. She’s a big girl and she can handle it! Plus, she knows she’s just one of the guys! Oh boy, duck and cover….
A man went to visit a friend and was amazed to find him playing chess with his mutt. He watched the game in astonishment for a while. “I can hardly believe my eyes!” he exclaimed. “That’s the smartest damn mutt I’ve ever seen.”
“Nah, he’s not so smart,” the friend replied. “I’ve beaten him three games out of five.”
In an old wester saloon a mutt comes through the swinging doors and sits down at the bar and says, “Give me a beer.” The bartender replies, “We don’t serve no mutts in here. Now get out or I’ll shoot you dead.” The dog pushes his cowboy hat back on his head and says loudly, “Give me a beer!” The bartender takes his six-shooter and shoots the mutt in the foot and he out a yelp and rolls out into the street, and makes his way down the dirt road and out of sight.
Well, not much happened at the old saloon for the next couple of weeks, until one day the mutt showed up again. This time he brought all of his dog friends with him. The swinging doors creaked loudly as he came through them, dressed all in black. His spurs clicked on the wooden floor as he walked slowly to the bar. A man stepped into his path and said, “I’m the owner here sir. Anything I can do for ya?” The mutt squinted his eyes. He looked slowly around the saloon and finally back at the owner. The saloon was silent. The mutt pulled the cigar from his mouth and said, “I’m lookin’ for the varmint that shot my paw!”

I have looked all over the internet for Miss Blinda Blurb and used every search engines I have at hand. I find plenty of sites about the man that wrote the book and coined the cover but just no pictures. If you want a picture like that then just wear your little yellow skirt.
I’m not quick at that kind of thing so it would take me too long! There are plenty of real artists out there, so we will see what turns up. Would be simplest to start from a real photo, and stylize from there.
I have done so much searching for Miss Blinda Blurb all I can find is references to her name and the front cover of a book that Gelett Burgess wrote. I even searched by his name and found the same thing. Man this is a good homework assignment. I wish you luck with others looking.

I have a word request – I’d like to know why, in the English language, the word “left” refers to both a direction (e.g. Left Turn) and something remaining (e.g. 3 Cakes Left)? Clearly the direction origin came first, correct? But how did “remaining” come to be “left” too?
Okay, I base this theory on the fact that most people tend to be right-handed. My theory on how this terminology originated is that it began with the act of throwing or tool use. I figure if one tries to perform a very precise manipulation such as writing, drawing, carving, or throwing rocks at a small target, only one hand seems “right” for those activities and the other is clearly an inadequate second. The other one is the only one “left” to hold onto things, steady oneself on steep terrain, or control whatever object that the right hand is performing the precise operation on. Like the left hand holding the paper while the right hand writes. Make sense? Just a theory. (((Okay, this is a bad sign: I just hit the “submit comment” button, and I was returned to the same comment box. If this comment recurs, it’s because I have to try the “submit comment” button again just to get out of here. Stand by for deja vu.)))
I think left as remaining is homonym to the left direction, nothing to do etymologicaly speaking.
After doing some research it appears that probably etymologicaly we have here three diferent roots leading to cross language homonyms and english homonyms:
LUB (desire) gave english left and german links by substituting all the other words carryng a negative sense (bad-omen, sin, or weakness related)
LEIP LIP (what remains) gave english leave and german bleiben
LAIWA (unluck) gave latin loeuus, greek laefus, russian lievuii, english skylark
(In Tolkien’s Elvish laiwa means sick as “l” is better written “lh” in Elvish, better lhaiwa)
I have heard that the right side of the brain controls the left hand and visa versa. Therefore, the dominate side tens to take control of primary action.
Some say a Left handed person is more creative, where as a right ’s more logical.
I think the homonym “opposite of right” and “what remains” is just english.
But then the diferent “opposite of right” in diferent languages are usually related to weakness, bad omen, wrong ….
Latin “sinister” bad, unlucky
French “gauche” comes from old french galc weak
Italian “stanca” the tired one
Spanish “zurda” deaf the one who does not obbey
Provencal “seneco” the old one
Spanish “izquierda” portuguese “esquerda” basque “esker” from celt “kerros” bended
Don’t know about venstre.

By the way, I was just admiring the photo on Marina’s wiki page,
when all of a sudden I thought the earth moved. It did, it was a 4.0 earthquake in Loma Linda, Calif. 7:14 AM Pacific Time
(10 and 215 Fwy San Bernardino) http://pasadena.wr.usgs.gov/recenteqs/Quakes/quakes0.htm
Funny thing is Washington State gets a few earth quakes. I’ve been in the last 3 big ones. Whats interesting I have been living near all three epicenters. Its like they are following me as I keep moving up north. Just weird…
Sorry guys.. the site is still not fully back up to par! There might still be problems.. and please let me know if you encounter any… hopefully we’ll be 100% shortly PLUS.. it should be faster at some point!
Hello, Marina!
Your videos are certainly fun to watch, and are actually very interesting.
It also helps that you are truly stunning.
Would you explain the origin of the word, “Blurb” ?
Thanks! Randy N
Hey, what do you know, I had to get off my lazy behind and look up the meaning myself! Okay, the original was supposed to be a sketch, however, I have found a scan of the book jacket.. and it is not a sketch. So, this may not be the only image of Blinda Blurb. Here is one URL, at any rate. Hmmm.. “at any rate” ….
OK.. it’s either Miss Belinda Blurb or Miss Blinda Blurb. She’s supposed to be a buxom blonde.. so I think the picture I am looking for is not the original dust-cover, but the short run, 500 copy one with the hot blonde
If I can’t find it, I might have to substitute a picture of myself. Would anybody know how to make one of my pictures look old and like a drawing?
This dude seems to have the skill set you need- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wt8dTzERR9w
or a guy could photoshop an existing photo, like this: http://web.mac.com/rg500delta/hot4words/sketch-pic.html
I did that in about 3 minutes. Can do better with more lead time! Doesn’t look very old-timey, though. Can do better. Do you have a pic in mind, can filter it and see if it has the look you want.
I took Eric’s link of the Blurb and pasted an old (photoshoped) photo of Marina in it. I emailed it to here. Will see if that is what she is looking for.
I was kinda warned about you after I posted the religious joke or article but I see every thing is cool. And yes if you want to survive in this world you have to grow a thick skin. Sometimes I let things get to me but I get over it. Oh and Cograts on being the teachers pet. We all thought she was holding you in a private place for her own pleasure. PUT THE LOTION ON THE SKIN.
Typical man hater with a raging case of penis envy. She’s out to prove to the world that she is better than any man, even though no one ever said otherwise. I don’t think she HAS read your comments regarding her false entomology. I don’t think her ego could take it.
To give you a gist of my mind-set, so as to put you at ease, take a look at my posts. I try never to attack anyone personally (I have no problem “joking” and can take it as well as dish it out – but ALWAYS in good fun, and NEVER meaning anything personal). There have only been a couple of times where I think I’ve gone off on someone – and both times, I believe, it was errin/errinf, because I can not abide someone making personal attacks, particularly when the person making the personal attack displays profound ignorance.
I’ve had some really good back-and-forths with aLx and buzzword, but I only got into hard debate with them because they seemed to enjoy it, and seemed to have a debating mindset (both seem to be able to hold their own well, and not get insulted by disagreement). I’ll say right now, that if anything I said in one of our arguments was offensive or bothersome, that was not my intent.
Also, posting religious items is never a problem with me, or even political ones. I am a person who is never upset by a difference of opinion. I have my views – I am conservative economically and militarily, I am liberal socially, and while Protestant originally I am now atheist for a variety of reasons. None of those reasons, however, are aggressive toward religion, and I tend never to assert my views about religion unless someone asks me or otherwise opens the subject to debate. I have not vested interest in convincing anybody of anything, and I talk about and debate stuff because it’s interesting. You’ll not find one post here in which I attack someone’s religion or political belief. I’ve busted some chops here and there, but I hope I have been correct in choosing people who like that sort of banter.
So, fear not capman911, everything is indeed cool. I feel bad that someone “warned” you about me, because it was never my intent to be feared.
As for Marina holding me in a private place – that would be much appreciated both in its literal and figurative sense! Marina? Is there a benefit to being Teacher’s Pet of which I am as yet unaware?
Maybe I just took it wrong when someone told me about the religion thing. I know I got several ass chewings for posting that one comment and one video that I made in an earlier blog. But I thank you for such a kind rebuttle Mabybe if Marina sent us a signed picture with our name on it in our personal email, then we could have a momento to save. But I know her schedual is very bussy and one more distraction would just be another way of taking up what time she has left for herself.

Both times you’ve gone off on me, prospero? That’s news to me… pretty sad if any dude here thinks I am wasting even a nanosecond of my time thinking about them or responding to them. I’m alpha, you ain’t. Simple as that, boy. Be as petty as you like towards me… in the eyes of most women, it only makes you look more weak and me more strong. Quite foolish of you, but boys will be boys.
When was the last time you gave a woman an orgasm, prospero? Because that’s what you should be focussing on rather than other dudes. It’s the difference between a mutt and a purebred.
Anyway, thanks for giving me heads up that you find issue with my ‘ignorance’. It got a small laugh out of me. I find issue with all the males out there that are more boy than man. So many boys and so few men… keep up the good work, prospero, as you only make me look better. By all means, keep taking issue with me, buddy.
Go back and read the nonsense you posted. If your hissy fits make you “look good” then more power to you.
Yes, I took issue with you, and rightly so. Your made-up “cracker’ etymology was wrong. Your folk etymology explanation for “wop” was wrong. The problem, however, was the way you went about it. You started namecalling and threatening (and since you sounded like that other errinf that threw a conniption over the McCain ads), I felt I would respond.
“I’m alpha, you ain’t?” Ha hahahahahahaha! Would you like some butter on those Ad hominem grits Prospero? Someone needs to finish their junior college English (critical thinking).
Um, prosper811,
That was me. I found it ironic that the day that you made TP a good sized note was posted that was based on Christian belief. But, I also read your response and I see that you understand I was not trying to stir up any conflict.
I didn’t “warn” him I just said “careful it’s prospero811 day”.
I don’t know who “warned” him.
I didn’t mean anything negative by it either towards you or in regards to you.
My sister’s cat ‘Axle’ is so smart he has trained my sister to have him feed at exactly 7am or else she gets the evil eye while she is in bed trying to sleep in. She had to cover up all the clocks in the house because she has a suspicion that Axle can tell time. So far this trick may have worked because he now wakes her up at 5am.
No I was here even before that. I waited for hours hitting F5 until it came up then whent down then came up, oh a person could get dizzy whith all of the comings and going ons.

Many people think that it’s better to have a purebred dog but what most people don’t know is that “mutts” last alot longer than purebred dogs. I think because they get traits from both species.
mutt….thought mongral was the word used to describe a cross bread dog……

Two of my nieces have the same breed of Dog that you do–nice breed, fun too. One is the $10,000 dog, a long story, my brother has a big heart…
My sister just got a Maltipoo, another ‘nice’ breed. Is this dog a mutt since it is mixed? Or, since its origins are known (two blood lines) is it just a new breed? I thought mutt was an unknown blood line (not able to trace) rather than just mixed…
My guess: until the breed is officially recognized by the ‘Dog World’ it’s a mutt; most likely there are ‘Dog’ politics involved I’m sure.
Anybody know this stuff
In response to your video Hara-kiri, what about a word that is about an action that could be uplifting? I am requesting that you do a video on the word philematology…

When we were talking before, you criticized evolution by asking whether it was my view that “everything came from nothing – poof.” I pointed out that the theory of evolution does not explain how matter came to be, or even how life first came to be, but rather concerns the change of life over time that has occurred since life on Earth began.
The “where everything comes from” question – has to do with the cosmological theory, rather than evolution.

Hey I was wondering the origin of the word spelunking. I went exploring caves with friends and this word popped up a lot
I have a friend who has traveled the world doing deep cave exploration as a professional caving guide and accompanied teams of scientists doing research in some of the deepest and gnarliest underground environments ever studied. He jokes that spelunkers are people who get lost in caves (amateurs, apparently) and that cavers are the people who are sent down to rescue them. I guess it’s a nomenclature thing. It really pisses him off when people refer to him as a spelunker. I usually wait until he’s had a few, so I can call him a drunker spelunker, but only if I have already planned my escape route, lol.
I was told a funny way to remember the diffrence between stalagtites and stalagmites.

Hey guys the new video is up
this might be bad luck but how does the numbers 666 represent the beast
It’s His area code.
1 666 GO 2 HELL
from the New Testament, Revelation13:18 “Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.”
a score = 20, so the “beast,” or Antichrist is signified by 666…
In Biblical numerology the # 6 represents “Man” or mankind. The “Man” (or man who controls the Beast) who is to come will be, for lack of a better word, represented by the #666. Some believe that 666 can be translated as the mark his followers must have and is the mathematically equivalent to three 6 digit numbers, unique to each individual, implanted on the right hand or forehead. Anyways as with the discovery of good technology turned to bad ie (nuclear power) The technology exists & has good uses now (not unlike cocomment) such as tracking of animals & people. But can be taken over by bad intent (rather tame words on purpose), Anyways that’s enough for now.
http://www.rapturechrist.com/666.htm and many other sites to help clarify or even confuse.

a friend of mine says its not 666 but 616 for the number of the beast. I dont know if this is true or not…..
can you please tell the origin of the word “white trash”
Marina, could you do the word “sandwich” please?
It’s a bit Early for that.
I think I’m gonna hEarl.
Wasn’t there a Earl of Sandwich it was named for.
yes, and he duked it out with someone because of it…
thus becoming Duke of Earl…
Was it Earl B.J Sandwich?
I thought it was Earl B.L.T.Sandwich
PT9 if it’s ok I’d like to add to the site.
Sheep are very stupid. Girls think cute means smart. And if you have ever been around sheep……….they are neither.
Mutton is an old female sheep. Tough and stringy to eat. Needs to be cooked low and slow to be any good, or in a stew.
Spring lamb on the other hand is great, on a spit. with rosemary and garlic…….
how about a cat?
Yea that’s about the size of my orange cat too. His name is Fifie after Fivel Mousegowitz. That was my daughters doing.

Marina, may I add something about mutton. The french origin of the word is according to Diez latin mutilus. In Roman Switzerland, Grison, Come Lake areas mot and mult means castrated. Everything here shows that a mutton is more apt to consumption than for reproduction. The similar etymology if foung in german where “hammel” the german mutton comes from “hamal”: castrated.
It is then very likely that the users of mutton in slang for dogs or women did not knew the etymology of the word, but probably associated it with “multitude” or gregarious/stupid instinct.
really?????? I have always known it to mean, An old female sheep.
Castrated sheep go to market as spring or young ?? Very good to eat
and mutton is old and stringy and tough.
In french you have the female called “brebis” the male called “belier” the castrated male called “mouton” and the baby called “agneau”.
I recomend “agneau”. Then two options the very young still drinking milk from the mother “agneau de lait” or the one eating grass from the Mont Saint Michel land where tide make the grass salted “agneau de pre-sale”.
A nice recipe is the 7 hours lamb leg. A very slow cooking for the easter sunday family table.

Why are they called a Sheepherder when sheep run in a flock.?
Would you want to be called; a Sheepflocker?
What the flock are you talking about RR?
Sorry I had to say that before someone else did.
I have heard that is where STDs started. Is that true? From sheepflockers
After working in the mountains one month keeping sheeps, the young sheepflocker ask to the experienced one what he does to deal with the separation from the feminine gender. The old and wise sheepflocker just shows the flock. The young padawan sheepflocker is in shock but after another month of solitudeness he decide to try it with one of the sheep of the flock. Because of the noise the old master come by and sees the scene, he starts laughing, so the other is all ashamed and don’t understand why he is mocked, so the master had to tell him what was his mistake:
“you took the ugliest!”
(there is also a completly diferent version with a camelflocker)
They call old castrated male sheep…….pets
no, they are b-a-a-a-a-d-d-d, but eunuch…

I didn’t say that… did I?
I had a Siberian Husky, but he got an infection and i had too have him put too sleep. He was a Purebred Show dog but we kept him as a pet.I will have to search for the pictures before i can email them. He is the smartist dog i ever had the pleasure of owning, him and his daughter were are both very smart.

I have no dog so can’t do the test. But I’m curious to see if some dog-owners can do it and give us the result together with the dog pedigree.
Unless you have a requirement for specific work or hunting dog, you’re best bet is a mutt. it’s possible to go wrong there, too. My friend adopted an adorable pit bull – boxer mix pup which turned out to be a super bionic dog suitable for only the more knowledgeable dog owner. That dog was all energy and muscle. He must’ve mated with every bitch in the valley.

Petite Marine, je parle de toi car avec ta petite voix…t’as versé sur ma vie des milliers de roses…this immortal French song talks about you Marina …..
I absolutely do not like this derogatory term used to refer to those nice pets which are even smarter and more sensitive then ”pure breed dogs”. Unfortunately in France and in italy languages use even a ruder word for them: It=bastardino(lit. means little bastard) fr=batard…German language is definetely more polite,using the word ”Mischling”,from Mischung=mixture Curious to see how in Russian we refer to them as ”дворняги”-dvornyagi ,from the word дворня,-dvornya=servitude…….interesting.
Hey, I would like to make a request for the word “gross.”
I’m just wondering how it got its slang definition of “disgusting” when it is used in a much different way in other subjects like economics or neuroscience.
Thanks!

1 ) BZW quote; buzzword replied on June 22nd, 2008 8:16 am:
well, your asking an anthropologist about evolution so… yeah, that’s what i think. but i’ll look into marina’s eyes. let’s see… holy shit, pixels! now marina isn’t just a philologist, she’s proof of the existence of god. your very talented, looking into her eyes, seeing god and kissing her ass all at the same time. the whole “the eyes are the windows of the soul” bit doesn’t really do much for me. yo, prospero811 here’s an opportunity for you to actually agree with me on something. eyes started out as light sensitive cells that over time developed into the organs we refer to as the eyes. that’s what i think. not asking you to think any differently, just commenting, because commenting is sexy… as long as it satisfies the rules of “standard english grammar” otherwise commenting is just human. which evolved from primates. i can see it in their eyes. har har!
Ok maybe you did not read this post. He was responding to me saying ( look in to Marinas eyes and tell me there is no god..) How is that starting a fight on the evolution of the eye?

Did you say Buzzword started a very controversial theory? That’s a riot. But before you embarrass yourself engaging our busy teacher, get out your fifth grade biology textbook, or steal one from a 10 year-old. Read about light-sensing cells in earthworms. Do the planaria exercise on page 220. It’s “A little deep but I believe you are up to it…” This time don’t just copy your neighbors’ answers. Maybe you’ll learn something, unless eyes are just a theory and yours haven’t been created yet…

Bob have you ever been in the military. In survival school for long range reconisence they put a table in front of you with different dishes of food on them. You go from plate to plate sampling the food. When every one is through they turn over plackards that tell what you have just eaten. It’s every thing from dog, snake, monky, insects to roots and berries. Just sounds yummy doesn’t it. If you’r hungry enough you’ll even eat boiled okra.

I forgot all about that show! I should have noticed the likeness. See, everybody wants their name mentioned and here you had yours mentioned AND you also had a guest appearance! First on 2 counts since that was before Marina started doing the “T.P” in her shows.
A belated CONGRATULATIONS! Now I’ll have to go back and read the comments. Have a great time gloating as all others grovel.
Well, since the post you cut-and-pasted from referenced me, I will say that I never read it before. But, I’m not sure what the controversy is? Is it evolution? If so, there really is no controversy (among biologists, geneticists, paleontologists, etc.) regarding evolution. That being said, what brought all this up anyway?

Back on the HOT site
go to the time stamp
if you’d like and read it all.
Prospero,
If you want to find out what this is about, take a good look through the previous vid replies (hot) as he referenced above. Buzzword (BZW) made some observations about evolution theory, namely that a sizeable gap seems to exist between documented scientific evidence and creationism, and roadrunrnch sort of fell into it that gap face first, poor guy: the specific subject roadrunrnch raised was EYES — were they created or did they evolve? Buzz totally had it under control. Notice how he’s conspicuously absent; he did his bit and left. He even invited you to comment, but you were missing.
My fault, I should have just let roadrunrnch dig his own hole instead of assuming there’s a person in there who actually wishes to interact on an intellectual level with others or, Dog forbid, learn something. My primary mistake is that when progress toward such an end is negative I sometimes allow disappoinment to flavor my discourse somewhat (as seen in his copy-and-pasted quote from me above), especially when I’m not well-rested. My bad. Now he thinks I’m targeting him when poking fun would be a more accurate description. Some don’t respond as well as others to that, I guess. But it’s hard to recall an unguided missile once something sparks its fuse, as I’m sure you’re well aware.
I’m on my ass laughing. What are you on?
This is me smiling ?

For got you question.
Guff Guff…………..on youtube?
Excuse me boys my meds are kicking my ass
typos can be fun too. Look at all the qretty colors
Does that make me the Teacher’s pet?
In Thailand they say “Hong Hong”.
Ok who in the heck let all the dogs out?
I didn’t know that animals had accents.
actually its a quit simple word that everyone takes for granted and it never complains back,and it has alot of stress on it. The word i would like to request is
“CHAIR”
Brilliant site, very well done!
A French friend of mine recently pointed out that if English made any sense, then the words “overlook”, “oversight”, “oversee”, and “overview” would all mean about the same thing. The first two both mean about the same thing, and the latter two have related connotations. We discussed it a bit, and my wife pointed out that it hinges on two different uses of the word “over”. In the one sense, to “skip over” something, and in the other sense, “to be above” something. Now that sounds right, but how did these four words find their way into the English language? I’d guess that they entered separately (at least first two versus latter two), and it’s just a small English mashup snafu that these four words mean separete things.
So, Ms. Smartypants, can you shed some light on these words? Thanks a bunch HotForPants!
Hello Hotforwords, I would like to request the words God and good, because I’m curious as to whether they are related or not.
I’d like to learn the origin of the word ‘cocktail’. It’s such a dirty sounding word for such a nice thing. Perhaps someone tasted a nasty drink and said, “This tastes like it came out of a rooster’s butt!”
Man I got a good lol out of that one. Thanks I needed that
I’d like to request a word, if I may. I heard the word ‘knight’ was French in origin, and yet they also have the word ‘paladin’. Aren’t the two words basically the same thing? What do the two words mean, and where do they come from? Thank you!
Woof
Down boy down
Marina, I can no longer find the place to rate your video. It used to be a little line of “kisses,” but they aren’t there now. I always gave you the maximum amount of kisses, but now I can’t do that, since they aren’t there.
Question: do you like the JJ Cale Band?
-HotRocky
There are the yellow stars under her video. Always give her five.
Lets Holiday
And make sure Teacher behaves.
Hu Marina,
Boy, was it difficult to access the site today. I guess my computer wanted to seek its old pathway no matter what I was trying to type into the address box. I had to go to youtube, which shunted me over to the German site for some reason, where I finally accessed the homepage from there. Once here, the page loaded faster than usual, though. Some progress has obviously been made. Good for you, you pulled it off.
Getting down to business, I believe that some cross-breeding is bound to improve many dogs’ intelligence level, and that severe inbreeding can be a detriment to it. There will always be exceptions, but that’s my uneducated opinion.
I’m not allowed to have a dog where I live, so I have a pet jumping spider named Magenta. She’s a Phidippus johnsonii, or Johnson’s Jumper. I’ve been trying to get her a date since January, but she has a tendency to play a little rough. She overpowered and ate her first suitor before he had a chance to calm her down (they do a dance that puts girls in a trance), even though she had just been fed. So I’m screening male applicants based on size and strength. The babies are extremely cute, and are great to release in the garden because they provide excellent bug police as well as endless hours of entertaining gymnastics.
pennsyltucky9, I was upgrading the server.. started last night at 5:30.. and they didn’t finish with all the problem until just recently! Sorry about that! But hopefully the server will be faster moving forward!
Marina
I guess this is where I thought you were doing the accual work. I was at least giving you the credit for being so smart and intelligent. me bad
Thanks for responding. The new server is faster, at least on my Mac. Haven’t tried it on the XP unit, but that’s my second choice anyway.
Good work! Now get some sleep, you deserve it!
Last year we had a garden spider make her web and nest on a plant on our front porch. We called her Charlotte. We would watch for hours as she would wait for flies or bugs to land in her web then rush to them and spin her web around the insects. A male came along and they did their thing then she ate him, bad way to go after having sex I could think of better ways to go. She made a pouch and laid her eggs in it and after a few weeks the babies were born, hatched what ever you call it for a spider. It was very interresting. I guess I need to get a life after retiring instead of waisting my day on things like that. It was quite a spectical to see though.
That’s not a waste of time at all! You should consider yourself fortunate that you have the time and space to notice what’s really going on in your world. You definitely HAVE a life, and it’s one you choose to live, so don’t denigrate yourself for taking in the beaty of what’s left of our natural world. People aren’t the only ones here (so far!) and we have a lot to learn from all our neighbors, whether or not we choose to see them that way.
Most of all, I’m impressed that you have retained your sense of wonderment and curiosity enough after working all your life that you still appreciate this kind of event. Kudos to you, Mike!
Spiders are predators, so they have to be smarter than their prey to survive. They don’t have it easy, none of us do. And even in the process of getting eaten, the males are taking the most positive step they possibly can toward supporting their young by donating their own nutrients to the process. Imagine making that kind of sacrifice to the survival of your bloodline. Many a male has gone the same way, and I’m not just talking about arachnids. I separate mine and release the males so they live to mate again because I know I’ll feed the female. She gets real hungry when she starts eating for 75!
pennysyltucky9 really said it, what you just described beats anything (type of show) they’ve ever put on T.V. A lot of people are out there ‘getting a life’ but they have know idea how to share, or how to enjoy a cloud, or etc. etc.
capman911,
Not many people “take time to smell the flowers”. You’re blessed on many levels. I laugh when some people say that I’m “wasting my time” when I notice a scene that you’ve witnessed. I grew up watching Mutual of Omaha, Jacques Cousteau and other shows that are similar so I can’t help myself.
Laugh all you want, but I have a friend who once had a pet bee–for over four-and-a-half months
–until his girlfriend accidentally killed it. No, in case you were wondering the bee’s name was not Eric.
Wow, that’s longer than I thought they could live. Too bad about the untimely demise, though. I wonder if it was listed as MIA in the hive all that time!
Yeah, and years later when he told me about it he was still bummed about the bee’s passing–quite an amazing dude he is.
A little spider moved in my yacht and built a little home. He or she just moved out. Just left the spider house and didn’t even pay any rent. What gives? Am I that annoying? I shower every day! Man even the spiders are running out…
Next time throw a moth in the web, they’re easy to catch and spiders love those. You can be as annoying as you want if you bring home a snack every couple weeks! The food has to be alive and kicking though. That’s the beauty of having a pet spider; you don’t have to feed them for weeks on end and they really don’t care whether or not you bathe regularly!
I am a bit Arachnophobic. When I was young I use go grab spiders all the time. No I didn’t pull off their legs. Me evil step mother was though. I think somehow I picked the the fear from her always screaming when she saw a spider. Many years later I bought a rose hair tarantula. I used to hold it in my hand and I would start to hyperventilate. What a rush! Now im sorta ok with spiders. I did a bit of research on some arachnids at the University of Washington website. On thing I did learn was its even difficult for the experts to properly Identify different species. Also learned about the manymyths about spiders. Check out this fantastic website. Its one of my favorites in debunking myths.
I love these quotes:
“I honestly believe it is better to know nothing than to know what ain’t so.”
– Josh Billings, 1818-1885
“Everything that ‘everybody knows’ about spiders…is wrong!”
– Rod Crawford, Curator of Arachnids, Burke Museum, in Seattle, Wa.
Very cool, Captain Jack.
Thanks for showing me that! I learned a few things right off the bat, and I’ll share it with my girlfriend who always calls me in to negotiate with spiders who visit her room. It was also good to read the Josh Billings quote. I’m going to add that one to my list of sign-off quotes for emails. I think it’s right up there with Einstein’s “The more I learn, the more I realize I don’t know.” And, as pagedoll said, “Always learning, always learning.” Good stuff.
I agree with Mr. Billings assessment. I have worked very hard in learning what I know; only to find out much of what I know is bull shit. I wish I could get all those years back.
I’ve been bitten twice by Black Widows, funny thing is that I use to have a fairly healthy (read as major) phobia but after the first time bitten it just sort of disappeared. This second bite is still with me…20 months and fading ever so slowly…Now, I’m working on a shark phobia which can also be cured, but I don’t have to be bitten for this one, I p-r-o-m-i-s-e.
OW! 20 months! I’ve been fortunate in that the only poisonous bites or stings I ever received (besides bee stings) were 1.) a scorpion sting in the Florida Keys, and 2.) a Potuguese man-o’-war sting while riding the surf on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. The man-o’-war sting was more immediately painful, but the scorpion sting lasted weeks.
I’ve been bitten from a rose hair. I was interesting watching her fangs pierce the skin of my hand. Freaked me out! Even though I know Im not going to die I still have a phobia. I even have a phobia of heights. I don’t have a shark phobia. I have petted many nurse sharks to feel very comfortable around them. knowledge is power and the more knowledge you have the more power you have over phobias.
Well said.
20 months insn’t painful, it’s just like a bruse that slowly dulls over time: moving from black to brown then from green to light green…I don’t know what a rose hair is–and maybe I don’t want to.
I use to swim for hours in & beyond the surf, was once in the water with a Great White; it didn’t scare me or worry me just swam like heck for the shore. BUT, years later when the phobia was in full swing I was uneasy in fresh water lakes.<—go figure
He was referring to his pet rose hair tarantula, ok4now.
ok4now. You must have been watching to many “Jaws” movies. hehehe
Yea I know what you mean about phobias being missed placed. I can climb up the mast on the Tall Ship Lady Washington and be very comfortable with the heights. But when I walked over a draw bridge at the same height as the Lady W. I get very nervous. Even though Im much safer on the bridge than climbing up the mast. Go figure.
Yea, rose hair tarantulas are a very common pet that you can find in about any pet store. Non poisonous, and mild temper. Easy to breed and to care for. They are good spiders for first time arachnid owners. If you are the kind of guy that forgets to water your plants this might be a good pet for someone. Keep some live bugs in with them and a wet sponge for water and your good to go for a week or more. The hard part might be keeping the bugs alive. Crickets are not to hard. Monkey chow and some water Gelatin keeps them going for a spell.
Yeah, I read the tarantula stuff then caught the rose hair reference after a curiosity attacked. I’m willing to cohabitate with spiders in this world but there is NO WAY I’d have one as a pet, I’d be too tempted to give it a little misting with a Raid can.
Wow i love my teacher
Advisedly (adverb) – why does this word have nothing to do with advice?
Humm I think I’ve seen that a few times today.
Me too Koala
Me three.
If he drew that, that fast he is good.
Thats just what the teacher needs. 
Lucky devil he’ll probably be the next teacher’s pet. If only I could draw. 
FORE! Oh, sorry guys. Me too.
Dam I had to duck and roll
Me five!
Aren’t you sleepy staying up all night
capman911, it wasn’t me doing the server silly!
Hey capman – Marina is in wikipedia.
She’s a celeb dude.
Celebs doesn’t type – they have people do it for them.
Celebs
doesn’tdon’t type – they have people to do it for them.time to go to bed
I told you she has staff!
Who
was doing the Server silly.
My Pet Picture , yah right.
Hi Marina! Im happy to see you commenting on your own site! I was beginning to think you where annoyed with us.
I really like that site Billy. There is amazing creativity there at Worth 1000 .com
Just have some more eucalyptus leaves and buds that will wake you up.
Smithereens
Or decimate – technically it means 1/10 destroyed.
I seen, saw, looked, gazed, ogled, then read the article about her. It’s was like a playboy magazine I get it just for the reading, you know
No, it means reduced to 1/10th of its former size. That is, 90% destroyed.
I don’t have a dog
oh well. I’ll have to stick with cats who adore me instead
Cats are good, I have three myself.
In my last job I worked on 2 cats. Well thats what we call them. The Caterpillar Co. built these 1,200 hp (each) engines for the ship that I worked on. They are larger and a VW bus! When I had to do the engine room checks I would call up boss and tell them the kitties are purring like kittens.
My father inlaw was in the Navy in a group called Desron 52 during Korea and WW2.He served on the Marshall and rotated to two other destroyers during that time. He was in the engine room and they used boilers back then. He said the pipes got so hot they would steal steaks and potatos from the gally and cook them on the pipes.
I do not have a dog currently, but I am thinking of getting a Bassett hound like Columbo, and dressing it up in a little raincoat. Then I’m going too sit back and watch the dog solve crimes. It’ll be awesome.
Those are pretty cool dogs errin. Almost like a short legged, long beagle. I had one once, a Basset Hound, but the joker wouldn’t stay home. He liked to roam the neighbor hood.
Basset Hound
Come on errin you can reply, we want bite.
Mike, do you mean “want” as in we want to bite you or ‘won’t’ as in will not bite? Im so confused. I didn’t get the memo on the new use of the word “want”! Why am I always out of the loop on these things? Am I that annoying?
Errin, I don’t have a dog either. Nor a cat. Nor a rat. Nothing…
I need spell check. Want and won’t I forget which one goes where
See I had to retype this short comment three times because of misspelled words. 
I think I am out of the loop on some of these comments. I don’t seem to be able to follow where there going or what some of them mean. 
So errin if you don’t want us to reply to you then we’ll honor your wishes.
Mike
I would like to request the word LINGERIE! What is the origin on Lingerie? Thanks!
Hey
I was wondering what the word cup means. There are many synonymes of cup. you can
drink coffee from a cup and I also know that there is world cups. You now – sports events.
There is also bra cups. I acctually choosed to ask you about the word cup when I saw your beautiful torso. Don´t take me for a pervert now. I just think you are a beautiful women and your breasts are one of the thinks that makes you wonderful
Best regards Lennart from Sweden.
God one lennyboy! Plus it will allow me to reuse the title “2 girls one cup” again
Marina….. you had to put that image in my head….. I thought I had seen it all until that video…. now I don’t know what to think….. ugh….
So funny, right prospero811! Most devastating thing I have ever seen!
Don’t show it to Bob he’ll sick again
Hey! what did I miss? I was doing a little task for Teacher.
bob – just search the internet for “two girls, one cup” (at home, not at work), and have a barf bag nearby……
Bob.. DON’T search the Internet for that! Do yourself a favor, don’t do it!
Warning You will need to be prepared!
Thanks for the warning, BillyB, and for the caring advice, Marina.
The imagination boggles!
Good advice.
And we need spell check Marina?
LOL…
Stop pulling Teacher’s leg, Captain, she’s trying to use it to kick Eric back out the door.
2 Gs & 1 C! Do we have to go down that road again? It just causes brain damage. So I have this new friend I met on SL (second life) and she is an medical imaging technician. She was telling me stories of what people put in their colons. This one guy had a head of lettuce stuck in his colon. This reminds me of a South Park episode. I guess the guy tried to do what Cartman did in a cartoon. Episode 608 – Red-Hot Catholic Love. Stan says: “Uh, Cartman shoved his lunch up his ass and now he’s tryin’ to crap out his mouth.” Whats with people trying to make things work backwards?
Jack you made fun of teacher.
No teachers pet for you 
Your damn right I did! hehehe .. Im not giving her any special treatment. It wouldn’t be fair to her. I only poke fun at my friends and I hope they return the fun.
Captainjack is right. We shouldn’t discriminate either for or against Marina. She’s a big girl and she can handle it! Plus, she knows she’s just one of the guys! Oh boy, duck and cover….
Shoot!, down to my last clean cup, now what do I do?
Recycle, Reuse, Reduce. What level of clean are you looking for? Have you ever looked at your kitchen counter sponge under a microscope?
My gosh darn microscope is at the freakin’ pawn shop & I just used my counter sponge to clean my car–so, it’ll be fine…
I normally don’t call my dog a mutt. I jokingly call my dog a dumb dog every once in a while.
labbatt78, as long as he understands that you are just joking, then that’s fine!
According to Bill Murry in the movie Stripes (fast forward to 3:00 min mark) Im a mutt! Im damn proud to be one too!
“And that’s the fact Jack!”
What happened to the mutt that ate nothing but garlic?
His bark was much worse than his bite.
What’s worse than raining cats and dogs?
Hailing taxis.
Hailing taxis would hurt!
What do you do when your dog eats the dictionary?
Take the words out of his mouth!
Have you ever been hit by a taxi on a street corner.
Those drivers are nuts.
Prospero did you wait all weekend and save up all the jokes for today
I gotta million of ‘em!
And some people collect stamps.
What do you get when you mix a fortune teller with a contortionist?
Someone who can foresee his own end.
What did the proctologist say when all he could find in his pocket protector was a bunch of rectal thermometers?
“Damn! Some asshole’s got my pen!”
A man went to visit a friend and was amazed to find him playing chess with his mutt. He watched the game in astonishment for a while. “I can hardly believe my eyes!” he exclaimed. “That’s the smartest damn mutt I’ve ever seen.”
“Nah, he’s not so smart,” the friend replied. “I’ve beaten him three games out of five.”
In an old wester saloon a mutt comes through the swinging doors and sits down at the bar and says, “Give me a beer.” The bartender replies, “We don’t serve no mutts in here. Now get out or I’ll shoot you dead.” The dog pushes his cowboy hat back on his head and says loudly, “Give me a beer!” The bartender takes his six-shooter and shoots the mutt in the foot and he out a yelp and rolls out into the street, and makes his way down the dirt road and out of sight.
Well, not much happened at the old saloon for the next couple of weeks, until one day the mutt showed up again. This time he brought all of his dog friends with him. The swinging doors creaked loudly as he came through them, dressed all in black. His spurs clicked on the wooden floor as he walked slowly to the bar. A man stepped into his path and said, “I’m the owner here sir. Anything I can do for ya?” The mutt squinted his eyes. He looked slowly around the saloon and finally back at the owner. The saloon was silent. The mutt pulled the cigar from his mouth and said, “I’m lookin’ for the varmint that shot my paw!”
Nice one, Prospero. Congratulations on your being selected Teacher’s Pet!
Thank you PA-tuck.
I am still basking in the warm glow of the generous love of our exquisitely pulchritudinous teacher.
propero811, congradulations on a well-ranked, dramatic & then timely AWOL; that was high drama in these parts & you are a master & a gentleman.

Now, quit trying to sit on the fence post and pretend that you are one thing & then another, it’s boring, it’s transparent & though you try to stress alphadom it really is a tad bit weak. come down off that angry fence, have a good cry, see how you can be welcomed into that little tribe called mankind; then take off like a rocket (great), ’cause now you’re just spinnin’ buddy. Really that’s how it works, ’cause you’re launching without any place to go–unless you really just want to crash back here on Earth.
Moving the Miss Belinda Blurb or Miss Blinda Blurb thread out to here.. don’t want to inundate the original poster with everyone’s responses!
Something that looks like this would be cool:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Pin-up_1.jpg
I have looked all over the internet for Miss Blinda Blurb and used every search engines I have at hand. I find plenty of sites about the man that wrote the book and coined the cover but just no pictures. If you want a picture like that then just wear your little yellow skirt.
How about something like this.
http://www.sports-photos.com/catalog/images/MarilynMonroe1.tif.jpg
This is as close as I can get. You know you have inspired a hundred guys to put pen to paper- can’t wait to see what they come up with.
meanwhile:
http://web.mac.com/rg500delta/hot4words/sketch-pic3.html
Did you do that? Kewl!
the miracle of photoshop!
Are you going to try to do one with Marina in that dress that’s under your drawing.
That would be so cool. 
I’m not quick at that kind of thing so it would take me too long! There are plenty of real artists out there, so we will see what turns up. Would be simplest to start from a real photo, and stylize from there.
I have done so much searching for Miss Blinda Blurb all I can find is references to her name and the front cover of a book that Gelett Burgess wrote. I even searched by his name and found the same thing. Man this is a good homework assignment. I wish you luck with others looking.
Mike
Out from where? Once again I didn’t get the memo.
I’m noticing comments here are kind of in broken thoughts. Is this in reference to YT page. If so then thats where im missing out. I don’t do YT comments. I can’t stand the idiots on there. 
Capnj,
Wasn’t that you commented to me the other day on boobtube?
Not sure? If it said captainjack63 then yes.
I only commented on the damn YT because HFW was down. I’ll never do make that mistake ever again.
I believe;
the Teacher has a camera, and a similar dress. I am thinking a live shot will work??
Take 100 pics and we will help you to weed them out
117th!
170th!
310th! Mine is bigger than both of yours!! HA!
393rd!
Ok whip it out and show me something bigger than 397th.
404th!
PT that can’t be right! 404 is an HTML error code. ahhah you must have thought that was your comment number.
Im just kidding I know you know that you know that wasn’t what you saw. But it made a funny comment for me to write at your expense. teheheh.
Hi Marina, quite simply the sexiest woman on the internet
I have a word request – I’d like to know why, in the English language, the word “left” refers to both a direction (e.g. Left Turn) and something remaining (e.g. 3 Cakes Left)? Clearly the direction origin came first, correct? But how did “remaining” come to be “left” too?
Thx, much love,
FoxMulder
Hmmm…. and it became the “Left” in terms of political philosophy – leftists, etc. That is a good one.
Maybe Marina will do a whole political series:
Left
Right
Campaign
Candidate (huh, she already did this one)
Ticket
Platform
Plank
Election
Vote
To Leave – (past participle=left).
That explains “remaining”, but how did left come to mean the opposite of right?
Okay, I base this theory on the fact that most people tend to be right-handed. My theory on how this terminology originated is that it began with the act of throwing or tool use. I figure if one tries to perform a very precise manipulation such as writing, drawing, carving, or throwing rocks at a small target, only one hand seems “right” for those activities and the other is clearly an inadequate second. The other one is the only one “left” to hold onto things, steady oneself on steep terrain, or control whatever object that the right hand is performing the precise operation on. Like the left hand holding the paper while the right hand writes. Make sense? Just a theory. (((Okay, this is a bad sign: I just hit the “submit comment” button, and I was returned to the same comment box. If this comment recurs, it’s because I have to try the “submit comment” button again just to get out of here. Stand by for deja vu.)))
I think left as remaining is homonym to the left direction, nothing to do etymologicaly speaking.
After doing some research it appears that probably etymologicaly we have here three diferent roots leading to cross language homonyms and english homonyms:
LUB (desire) gave english left and german links by substituting all the other words carryng a negative sense (bad-omen, sin, or weakness related)
LEIP LIP (what remains) gave english leave and german bleiben
LAIWA (unluck) gave latin loeuus, greek laefus, russian lievuii, english skylark
(In Tolkien’s Elvish laiwa means sick as “l” is better written “lh” in Elvish, better lhaiwa)
I have heard that the right side of the brain controls the left hand and visa versa. Therefore, the dominate side tens to take control of primary action.
Some say a Left handed person is more creative, where as a right ’s more logical.
That seems logical; I think you’re right.
So what about Latin – sinister, and Scandinavian – venstre?
Where do they fit in, to mention but two?
I think the homonym “opposite of right” and “what remains” is just english.
But then the diferent “opposite of right” in diferent languages are usually related to weakness, bad omen, wrong ….
Latin “sinister” bad, unlucky
French “gauche” comes from old french galc weak
Italian “stanca” the tired one
Spanish “zurda” deaf the one who does not obbey
Provencal “seneco” the old one
Spanish “izquierda” portuguese “esquerda” basque “esker” from celt “kerros” bended
Don’t know about venstre.

They’re back again.
How does she do that?
Sort of like – “I dream of Jeannie”.
Now that would be an excellent outfit for Marina to wear. The heck with the cartoon
To heck with this Belinda Blurb stuff, get Marina into a “Jeannie” outfit..
Marina in a “Jeannie” outfit.?
Oh My that would be ultra hot!
Barbara Eden was perfect in that role.
Marina has her own magic that has made her #1 on You Tube again.
Marina – did they have Magnificent Muttley cartoons in Russia? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gTWSuijmHI
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNYNtfXKnzA&feature=related
Any of you guys follow Marina on co-comments.
Some of Marina’s replies on blogs are awesome.
.
Absolutely… She is on top of things and I like the way she thinks
and she has a passion for many things.
By the way, I was just admiring the photo on Marina’s wiki page,
when all of a sudden I thought the earth moved. It did, it was a 4.0 earthquake in Loma Linda, Calif. 7:14 AM Pacific Time
(10 and 215 Fwy San Bernardino)
http://pasadena.wr.usgs.gov/recenteqs/Quakes/quakes0.htm
Funny thing is Washington State gets a few earth quakes. I’ve been in the last 3 big ones. Whats interesting I have been living near all three epicenters. Its like they are following me as I keep moving up north. Just weird…
Ummm No. I tried to follow them one night and couldn’t get the damn thing to work.
If she had a Jennie outfit maybe she could blink you up a new boat
Oh that would be nice. Im presently just looking at some Ta Chiao CT for sale. What do you think about this one? 1987 CT 56ft ketch
Nice boat, Captain; it’s even named after Marina.
Bob, “Timeless Lady” yea I think so.
@ HOTFORWORDS, HEY HFW CAN I PARK MY BOAT IN YOUR MARINA? ITS A 56 FOOTER! MIGHT BE A TIGHT SQEASE.
LOL…Oh boy! *sigh*
AAAH much better now
Sorry guys.. the site is still not fully back up to par! There might still be problems.. and please let me know if you encounter any… hopefully we’ll be 100% shortly PLUS.. it should be faster at some point!
I tried logging on around 7:10 and got the message: can not display webpage. After 7 tries I made…probably just on my end.
I know.. it’s annoying… not fully there yet!
Good thing I slept in..
Hello, Marina!
Your videos are certainly fun to watch, and are actually very interesting.
It also helps that you are truly stunning.
Would you explain the origin of the word, “Blurb” ?
Thanks! Randy N
Thanks randyn. Great request as well. Anybody want to help me find a picture of Miss Blinda Blurb? I can’t seem to locate one anywhere!
Hey, what do you know, I had to get off my lazy behind and look up the meaning myself! Okay, the original was supposed to be a sketch, however, I have found a scan of the book jacket.. and it is not a sketch. So, this may not be the only image of Blinda Blurb. Here is one URL, at any rate. Hmmm.. “at any rate” ….

OK.. it’s either Miss Belinda Blurb or Miss Blinda Blurb. She’s supposed to be a buxom blonde.. so I think the picture I am looking for is not the original dust-cover, but the short run, 500 copy one with the hot blonde
If I can’t find it, I might have to substitute a picture of myself. Would anybody know how to make one of my pictures look old and like a drawing?
Are you a bromide?

This dude seems to have the skill set you need-

or a guy could photoshop an existing photo, like this:
http://web.mac.com/rg500delta/hot4words/sketch-pic.html
I did that in about 3 minutes. Can do better with more lead time! Doesn’t look very old-timey, though. Can do better. Do you have a pic in mind, can filter it and see if it has the look you want.
Marina, maybe this is what you’re looking for.
Curses! There doesn’t seem to be a link for the ageing software any more.
Marina, I believe this site contains the software that I referred to above.
I haven’t tried to use it so I hope it’s not another false trail.
A simple yes will do. I can edit any photo to look old+as a drawing, or painted with oil an a canvas, how old do you need it to be?
I took Eric’s link of the Blurb and pasted an old (photoshoped) photo of Marina in it. I emailed it to here. Will see if that is what she is looking for.
I think your site is alot faster now.
Don’t call Marina fast.
I was kinda warned about you after I posted the religious joke or article but I see every thing is cool.
And yes if you want to survive in this world you have to grow a thick skin. Sometimes I let things get to me but I get over it. Oh and Cograts on being the teachers pet. We all thought she was holding you in a private place for her own pleasure. PUT THE LOTION ON THE SKIN. 
I bet Danica Patrick is fast…
Hey Capman, You must have watched the Bebe’s Boobs Destroy Society – Episode in South Park?
Typical man hater with a raging case of penis envy. She’s out to prove to the world that she is better than any man, even though no one ever said otherwise. I don’t think she HAS read your comments regarding her false entomology. I don’t think her ego could take it.
Warned about me? How so?
To give you a gist of my mind-set, so as to put you at ease, take a look at my posts. I try never to attack anyone personally (I have no problem “joking” and can take it as well as dish it out – but ALWAYS in good fun, and NEVER meaning anything personal). There have only been a couple of times where I think I’ve gone off on someone – and both times, I believe, it was errin/errinf, because I can not abide someone making personal attacks, particularly when the person making the personal attack displays profound ignorance.
I’ve had some really good back-and-forths with aLx and buzzword, but I only got into hard debate with them because they seemed to enjoy it, and seemed to have a debating mindset (both seem to be able to hold their own well, and not get insulted by disagreement). I’ll say right now, that if anything I said in one of our arguments was offensive or bothersome, that was not my intent.
Also, posting religious items is never a problem with me, or even political ones. I am a person who is never upset by a difference of opinion. I have my views – I am conservative economically and militarily, I am liberal socially, and while Protestant originally I am now atheist for a variety of reasons. None of those reasons, however, are aggressive toward religion, and I tend never to assert my views about religion unless someone asks me or otherwise opens the subject to debate. I have not vested interest in convincing anybody of anything, and I talk about and debate stuff because it’s interesting. You’ll not find one post here in which I attack someone’s religion or political belief. I’ve busted some chops here and there, but I hope I have been correct in choosing people who like that sort of banter.
So, fear not capman911, everything is indeed cool. I feel bad that someone “warned” you about me, because it was never my intent to be feared.
As for Marina holding me in a private place – that would be much appreciated both in its literal and figurative sense!
Marina? Is there a benefit to being Teacher’s Pet of which I am as yet unaware? 
Maybe I just took it wrong when someone told me about the religion thing.
I know I got several ass chewings for posting that one comment and one video that I made in an earlier blog. But I thank you for such a kind rebuttle 
Mabybe if Marina sent us a signed picture with our name on it in our personal email, then we could have a momento to save. But I know her schedual is very bussy and one more distraction would just be another way of taking up what time she has left for herself.

Both times you’ve gone off on me, prospero? That’s news to me… pretty sad if any dude here thinks I am wasting even a nanosecond of my time thinking about them or responding to them. I’m alpha, you ain’t. Simple as that, boy. Be as petty as you like towards me… in the eyes of most women, it only makes you look more weak and me more strong. Quite foolish of you, but boys will be boys.
When was the last time you gave a woman an orgasm, prospero? Because that’s what you should be focussing on rather than other dudes. It’s the difference between a mutt and a purebred.
Anyway, thanks for giving me heads up that you find issue with my ‘ignorance’. It got a small laugh out of me. I find issue with all the males out there that are more boy than man. So many boys and so few men… keep up the good work, prospero, as you only make me look better. By all means, keep taking issue with me, buddy.
Go back and read the nonsense you posted. If your hissy fits make you “look good” then more power to you.
Yes, I took issue with you, and rightly so. Your made-up “cracker’ etymology was wrong. Your folk etymology explanation for “wop” was wrong. The problem, however, was the way you went about it. You started namecalling and threatening (and since you sounded like that other errinf that threw a conniption over the McCain ads), I felt I would respond.
“I’m alpha, you ain’t?” Ha
hahahahahahaha! Would you like some butter on those Ad hominem grits Prospero? Someone needs to finish their junior college English (critical thinking).
sounds like she don’t like being proved wrong by a male.
……………………………..errin the alpha Dog?
I thought that was Lassie, but, is errin the alpha dog any relation to Champion the Wonder Horse or Champignon – the Wonder Sheep ?
Now, now boys. You know you’re only commenting like that because you need orgasm lessons.
I faxed my girlfriend an orgasm.
Women are not interested in the fax, they just want the feelings.
Um, prosper811,
That was me. I found it ironic that the day that you made TP a good sized note was posted that was based on Christian belief. But, I also read your response and I see that you understand I was not trying to stir up any conflict.
I’m just curious what you “warned” him about? Was it my atheism?
I didn’t “warn” him I just said “careful it’s prospero811 day”.
I don’t know who “warned” him.
I didn’t mean anything negative by it either towards you or in regards to you.
Ok my doggie picture has been sent to you. I didn’t know if you wanted a description of the picture or not. So I sent one anyway.
May I suggest a moment of silent reflection on a great wordsmith and comedian who passed away yesterday at the age of 71 – George Carlin.
Carlin on words: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h67k9eEw9AY

May he rest in peace.
Amen
I only hope it was sudden and painless. He brightened many a day of mine and provided much food for thought. He’ll be sorely missed.
No way! Im so bummed now. It would have been cool if he could have made a guest appearance here at HFW site.
i will say seven words to honor his memory…
he was, and remains, a national treasure…
The man was great.
Who threw that stone
Watch out koalabear I got beat up for displaying a religious comment
And a political one too
…try being an atheist….you grow a thick skin!
Sheep aren’t stupid, they’re just liars.
Cute okay4now, but so true!
Or, are sheep like cats – “so smart they can’t be trained?” (err…yeah…)
Cats dumb ?
They sleep on average about 20 hours a day, and we feed and shelter them.
If they don’t like us, they go next door, to be fed.
Who’s dumb?
What do you get if you cross a dog with a sheep?
A sheep that can round itself up!
Does anyone realise that Bonnie Prince Charlie was the only member of the Scottish Royal House to be named after three sheepdogs?
My sister’s cat ‘Axle’ is so smart he has trained my sister to have him feed at exactly 7am or else she gets the evil eye while she is in bed trying to sleep in. She had to cover up all the clocks in the house because she has a suspicion that Axle can tell time. So far this trick may have worked because he now wakes her up at 5am.
Maybe the cat wants to eat before it’s nine and basically it knows that its time is up…
Well, that is what they say, right? Feed a dog, and it thinks you’re god. Feed a cat, and it thinks IT’S god!
Ok4now
that is a great joke
1st after the fix to the maintenance! HA!
Excuse me, I was here an hour ago.
You were only first after the fix to the fix.
No I was here even before that. I waited for hours hitting F5 until it came up then whent down then came up, oh a person could get dizzy whith all of the comings and going ons.
