    That clip of her listening to the neighbors cracks me up. I think she listens to them more than she lets on. Like how she does the show from her apt. hotforprofits should do the same and get out of the studio.

    I be such a spiffy eavesdropper, I even spent twenty minutes building a medium range espionage system using a laser pointer and photocell for that express purpose. I have occasionally used it, to varying boring and interesting results, most notably discovering that Professor Rickram, our Philosophy teacher, was really a spy for the Nefarious Snark (me), without me even knowing it, which was weird, I must admit. I later confronted him and found out he had me confused with the Nefarious Snark in Amsterdam, who apparently knows nothing of implied trademark (though I hate trademark myself). Also, what about the complete name for Titin? As it is 189,820 characters long, I would spare ye even if I could remember it. ‘Tis the longest thing what can be considered remotely an English word. I would like to see someone miserably attempt to say it in a single breath, though they would probably die or pass out from oxygen loss first, and that would just “suffocate” the fun, if you will pardon the incredibly idiotic and ineffective pun.

    Eavesdropping is what I do for a living. :cool:

    Good one Marina!
    believe it or not I have never intentionally set out to evesdrop on someone. It has serindipiduously happened however and I discovered some interesting details about people I thought I knew well.
    Once after I left a friends shop where some of us were visiting and having fun, eventually we all left and I was the last to go except for his girlfriend. As I left I remembered something and was going back to tell him. I heard him yelling and shouting very badly from the outside of the door. I never announced myself and listened a bit more while he screamed and abused her verbally. I was stunned. here my great artist friend who always posed above me when I made social mistakes, was far worse that I had ever imagined. I told him of it finally not long ago (this incident was over five years ago) and he has no memory of it. Spooky? You never know people it goes to show.
    When they finally broke up he placed blame on her shortcommings and laid no reasons of his own. I have always remembered to hear both sides of the story. very important!!! Hope he’s not reading this.

  8. muggins on June 30th, 2008 3:42 am

    Maybe that explains the phrase, “Get the drop on somebody…”.
    Meaning get the advantage on someone by acquiring valuable
    info that allows one to act with advanced notice of another’s intent… or something like that. Getting “the drop” from eavesdropping?

  9. CaptainJack on June 30th, 2008 2:13 am

    I can not confirm nor deny that I have eavesdropped on anyone. :razz: I only report to those who need to know and you don’t need to know. :razz: :razz: If I did tell you I would have to kill you so you wouldn’t turn me in. :razz: :razz: I also can not confirm that I worked for NSA which has 3 times the funding as the jerks over at CIA. I also can not confirm my involvement with The Yakima Research Station a.k.a. ECHELON in Yakima, Wa.

    Wooopppss I think I said too much. :roll: :oops: :oops: Oh now I can hear the Feds knocking on my door now. Rats! I have to go away now. Bye! Nice knowing you all. heheheh :lol: :lol: :lol:

  10. bobsully on June 30th, 2008 2:02 am

    Very interesting origin. I eaves drop often. Most of the time nothing comes from it, but sometimes it does have value when comments can effect you.

  11. ratroddan on June 30th, 2008 1:55 am

    I always wondered where the Phrases “Mickey Mouse” and “Half-Assed” came from, you know as in… That is one Mickey Moused , Half-Assed Job if I ever seen one! Thats what I hear from my boss pretty much all day long. I Think it may be time to “86″ this job ! Hey .., speaking of “86″ Where did that come from ? I am ready for some HotForWords Love!

  12. greenbush on June 29th, 2008 11:25 pm

    My homework: yes, I’ve eavesdropped before. Way back in 1972, I could press down the switch hook of a telephone, and unscrew the transmitter cover to remove the doohickey (attn: word request, doohickey), or microphone, thereby allowing me to listen into the conversation on the other telephone line in the house, unbeknownst to others. In one conversation, my mom and dad were separated/divorcing, and words were hurtful. The other time my grandma called to announce grandpas’ death. Neither time did I get into trouble, but the lasting effect of parents that resented each other, played a part in my life. I don’t seek rejection. But, I am up for the challenge.

  13. randall on June 29th, 2008 11:12 pm

    Hi there hotforwords,

    i know its early for this inevitable one but at least there will be plenty time for merry comments to come.

    I work in a drug treatment center for teenage males, and thus, part of my job is eavesdropping. I’ve stopped a few fights by doing so, and kept some kids by making some very poor decisions…plus I get paid to do it.

    So yeah, eavesdropping works out well for me.

    :mrgreen: Marina, (still holding my request for dopamine). Save me from ignorance. It makes me wonder if words compared with their closest synonyms from the friendly online thesaurus; Are they grasping the same original meaning? If one synonym has a different history and meant something unlike it’s relative, to which synonym do I accept as dominant, or should you trace all the synonyms back to each origin and compare them for authenticity?

    Hello my dear teacher,
    I used to, and sometimes still do, eavesdrop on others speaking another language when they believed that I did not speak or understand it. Sometimes it was bad and sometimes it was good. While stationed in Bogota, Colombia, It gave me the courage to ask a beautiful woman out that I was enamored with after hearing her tell a friend that she thought I was cute. (GUAPO).
    Goodbye for now my beautiful teacher

    BTW—5 kisses, as always on your latest video.

    What’s the origin of the word- fluke :?:

    BillyB replied on June 29th, 2008 8:00 pm:

    An example of a fluke was, Blue Jays defeat Cubs on Friday the thirteenth. Burnett vs Gallagher, 3-2. The origin of the word would be cool for Marina to do… why is it also part of a whale? Imagine her, trying to fit a whale into her video. In keeping with the topic of this video, Spy hopping is how our orcas eavesdrop.

    Hello Marina,
    I was wondering about the origin of “plastic surgery” as there really is no plastic involved. Implants and replacement parts are made up of different things but I don’t think any are made of simple plastic.

    I couldn’t find a specific place to vote on G4 but they did have a place to interact and also a forums so if enough people posted on those to make their opinions known about Marina’s place in the Women of the Web then hopefully the producers would take notice.

    roadrunrnch replied on June 29th, 2008 8:47 pm:

    As for the shock value, I don’t really find it entertaining. I mean sure, as a guy I am tempted to do that kind of stuff too, but it saddens me that she gives in to those perverts. But then again, it’s probably a master plan to get a large amount of people to see your site.

  42. pagedoll on June 29th, 2008 2:42 pm

    Marina, I’ve got it! :idea: You should have contest Intitled, “Win a date with Teacher”, it would be fun. Of course you’d have to make it at least fair for those of us with less than superior brain power or a detailed knowledge of computer skills, like me. Wadaya think!? You could even bring a bodyguard, but he wouldn’t be allowed sit at the table because that wouldn’t be fun, for the lucky winner anyway….lunch , tea, dinner, anything would be a kick, Of course the winner would have get themselves to the location of your choosing. Ya? Ya? …just throwin’ it out there… :smile:

    roadrunrnch replied on June 29th, 2008 3:17 pm:

    Are you insane PD?
    You would what to see Our friend Marina go out with some crazy from the Internet????

    HELL, 2/3s of all the posts are from axe murders! Deviants, And Democrats.
    The rest are of Us? …….well ? And then there are the Utubers? You would throw her into that mash pit of filth?

    I hope Marina’s wearing gloves when she logs on and plays on line with ANYONE!!! My Wife is scared to death that one of online buddies is going to look me up someday. I just tell her,” Don’t worry Marina lives along ways from us.” he he he. Right ??
    She does seem like a stalker ? Does SHE??

    Lisanova is not even on the same planet and Marina…relatively speaking. :smile:

    CaptainJack replied on June 30th, 2008 2:45 am:

    Yea there’s proof she is a stalker. I seen one of her videos with shots of her at the Pike Place Market in Seattle. I seen her in the conner of my eye and ran like hell to my Lincoln Towncar and told the driver to step on it. Last I heard she is in California now so I guess im safe for the moment.

    The two happiest days of a boat owner’s life are the day he buys it and the day he sells it. Every other day he owns it is costing him money!
    Capt. Jack is a gung ho kinda guy. Ask him nice and he might volunteer to meet all of Marina’s “little friends” and give them comfort. :mrgreen:

    pagedoll replied on June 29th, 2008 5:54 pm:

    When I say date I more mean a chance to meet and hang out for a few hours, nothing more than that. I’m no wacko. Just a regular guy that goes to work every day, comes home and turns on the comp to check out this site and banter back and fourth with a few folk. As a matter of fact, I’ve only have had the internet for a few months and if it wasn’t for this site I probably would have cancelled my service a long time ago. Why? Because except for this site, I really have not found a good reason to keep it. :grin:

    CaptainJack replied on June 30th, 2008 3:25 am:

    @CM, funny you should mention that. I was just thinking about auctioning myself off yesterday. I was wondering how I got that idea in my head. You where thinking about it! Stay out of my head Mike. LOL….
    Well off? You kidding. I live on a dingy and have $1.25 to my name. Here’s the proof .
    @ Mel. Two happiest days are when I buy a new boat and when I buy a bigger boat. My boat cost me money? You kidding? It’s saving me money. But don’t tell anyone. Its a millionaire’s secret for staying a millionaire. Meet Marina’s little friends? How do I know they are not axe murders or worse succubus. Im almost completely convinced all women are succubi. Thats why I tell them I live under a bridge… No wait.. a dingy… I have to get my story straight…LOL :roll:

    @PD. We love you too PD. In fact the Seattle Mariners are kicking your Padres butt. Im just kidding you. The Padres were my favorite team when I lived in SD. Now I really don’t watch any sports. I could care less.

  44. pedantickarl on June 29th, 2008 1:46 pm

    Hello Marina,
    This video looks great! The 4×3 format is so much better than the 16×9 / letterbox format. The flashback scene with the hallway noises had been done in letterbox where the top and bottom edge were fuzzy.

    This video quality is great, even in std. quality and awesome in high quality. It is like you are sitting right next to me, close up and personal. I also liked all of the still shots. Very nice.

    The lighting is also much better. A few videos back you mentioned to Ven. Prin. that you were still working out the lighting.

    This lesson was exceptionally magnificent, as they all are. I had no idea about this word.

    I don’t recall eavesdropping, except on my own thoughts and reflect on those by saying, “what the heck was I thinking”? :lol:

    pedantickarl replied on June 29th, 2008 1:48 pm:

    So, your temporary fix did the trick. Thank you.

    Time to update your video codecs.
    Be careful - free downloads are out

    hmmm, never had that problem. played around with my settings but never got a green screen. i’m on an intel imac though, never had to bother with updating video codecs. never heard of them, is that a microsoft thing?

    hey marina, you mentioned things are busy but you ought to put updating your itunes podcast on the “to do” list. the equipment your using is a big improvement, would be nice to take full advantage of it using itunes.

The page I want to reply on doesn’t let me, so I try & fool it by coming into a page I don’t want to reply on, but alas, it (The Page) seems to know that I’m fooling it , so it still won’t let me… so I go to a page with a digg on it… go digg… click on the blue, get back into the site & then the replies work. Hey, it didn’t change with the new server… and it’s not consistently bad but it doesn’t matter which computer???

    Thank you Marina for the kind words. :smile: I do realize you are an extremely buisy person. I should have taken that into consideration. I know you have to much to do to worry about one person when there are so many now on your two sites. I do appreciate this site. It’s like the morning news paper to me. :cool:

    Chemikal replied on June 29th, 2008 3:13 pm:

    funny.. I was thinking the same thing earlier… just that it’s more like the school’s newspaper. Do you remember when she first asked you to subscribe? and you did… since then HFW has a small part in our everyday lives… We’ve gotten to know her strengths, her weaknesses, but like Pagedoll once said, the coolest part was spending time with teacher, and I think being able to comment on each video, and get replies is also a big bonus. Hard to feel alone when you know the world is virtually boundless and you have the internet working for you.

    capman911 replied on June 29th, 2008 4:39 pm:

    I think we feel kinda left out when we don’t get any kind of reply from anyone or Miss M. I guess it’s the attachments we get for someone as a friend we haven’t even met or probably will never meet. We talk to each other daily on a computer and have never met but I consider everone here a friend. I guess I am getting sentimental now. Just rambling on. Take care Chemikal, comment to you soon. :smile:

    Yes I or we have eavsdropped before. We were riding to the store one day to get groceries in the firetruck. Well the truck sits high enough that when we went by a row of fences a lady was laying out in her backyard sunbathing topless. So we rode around the block four more times. I guess you could call that an eavesdropping experence or a mouthdropping one. :cool:

    P.S. I forgot to say, also, that I can see in the dark, like a cat. (After my eyes adjust to the darkness. My mother cannot see in the dark as she does not have the purple pigment, rhodopsin.) I also think I have nine lives, like a cat. But I have used up all but one of them, which is what I have left. I think of myself as the luckiest man alive, living. My wife also has a Phd in Linguistics and is from Georgia, between Turkey and Russia. Her name is also Marine. She knits beautiful things for babies and also sews beautiful beads on flowerprints. She is a poet and speaks seven languages. I told her about this site and will show her tonight.

    sweet! Be sure to tell her about us, and also reply later so we know what she thought on the matter.
