I always thought Sisyphus was a dung beetle.
Keeping up with comments here is a sisyphean task.
Indeed I’ve had a sisyphean task. I worked on radar in the navy and keeping it functioning was always a game of one step forward and zero to three steps back. Another good video. How about the origin of dregs, scum, or villany. Thanks.
I was wondering where tittyfucking came from?
What the hell? Before or After? During? Where did that come from?
After I came all over her titties and during when she was jerking me off. It came from me fucking her big titties with my big hard cock until I cum on her face.

What is the origin of the word sin?
There is no origin, it’s Original Sin.
I agree with prospero811. This matrix borg life is sisyphean, resistance is futile.

yea its called a relationship. you get so close, only for it to bad again…
thats true good one
How come this is under the Interviews section
everyting is sisyphean when you lose your heart .
I have a sisyphean task every day trying to do everything that my mom and my aunt want me to do - the works!
Marina, I’d like to know also how shirk and shark are akin, would you please do a video on them so I can know, because dictionary.com doesn’t have an answer as to how they’re obscurely related to each other.
Thanks!

I am a framing contractor and it seems that with the custom houses it is a sisyphean task to get the house completed. There are always tons of changes at the end and the home owner just can’t leave things alone. What do they pay the architect for? I especially like the 8×10 hand drawn porch detail.
My life feels like a sisyphean task! Aaaaarrgh!
Well, thank God it’s Friday!
Thank you M, never new about this word before……
Sisyphean life M !!!!!!! Seem-idly 95% of the task done then, as you say, back we go to the start, over and over and over and over and over and over again and again and again……….after a few swift Ales, a re-cap on self, a good meal, plenty of walks and sleep, it’s Next! Keep trying i guess. One day M, i WILL get there, one day…..
Take now for instance. You are thinking about a car over the rent, well, im either going to keep Duko (new found dog), home, wheels and possible new contract or I could be buskin’ the streets pitching a tent some place…..AAAAHHHHHHGGGGGGG……exhausting at times but NEVER stop!
At Josephs 7th B-day party yesterday, we all went Bowling, he beat everyone, then reminded us of it, alot, quite ofton……. however, all the wee lil gals ‘N guys were finding the task a challenge, lifting those heavy balls followed with a very sloooow bowl down to the pins. After a few attempts all were hitting strikes becoming most competitive. So there Sisyphean missons were completed.
Wasnt allowed to play for the remainder so had to declare a void. TUT! It was worth the laughter with the looks on their happy faces 100% 
Sadly, there is always one who ruins it for everyone by being the ball trying to be clever in causing mayhem as the machine stopped with yours truly stuck under the pins.
Anyhoo, got my boots back on so best get busy with it. Keep on rocking M, you make the best music in the world
143, as always….
Be…., you
This is a word that actually dl.tv podcasters (Robert Heron) wants to know the origin and made the request for viewers to let him know. So I am sort of requesting for them. The word is “Fanboy” Thanks Marina
I was wondering about a word actually, not one word… 2 words, since when did the words Yours truly (usually written in a letter) come to refer to the person whom is writing it?
“HECK” where does this word come from? and why do we use it as slang for “Hell”? my last name is Heck and from my understanding its German.
tittyfucking
What? Butthoney
toelicker
I saw you asked us to resquest words in one of your videos, so where does the word request come from?
Well im not exactly sure if this would be appropriate but I saw the balls to the walls video so it couldnt be much worse..
Im curious of the origin of the word: Masturbation
Its a really strange word and it would be kinda cool to know where it came from.
Hum, just a background question.
As people say there is no god, there were none and there won´t be any, how it came to the story of Sisyphus, who made this story, and why, what reason or idea stands behind it ?
He/she just wanted to tell us that we have to keep on doing no matter how hard it gets, or was it a treatment for people ?
Any proposals ?
(I just ask because I want to know what people belived in the past, and what they lived for——-> What they belived when someone told them a story or “vision”, however you will call it. It formed what we have now, that´s why I want to know it)
the greek people did say there was a god i think was zeus the god of the sky
I just realised you’ve already done nightmare, I haven’t seen that one. sorry
I indeed have had a sisyphean task. I was once working On a car with my dad and it seemed ok at the start, we listed what would need restoration as so on and began. Though as we went on we found more and more problems which would set us back. after replacing many part on the engine, a vital piece was still found to be faulty meaning we had to dismantle the engine again…it was a nightmare…actually thats a point. Whats the origin of the word nightmare? thanks Marina =)
How about the word restroom?
We don’t really rest in there, its just a place for you to do your “business”.
Hi Marina and everyone
Yellow!

Sup.
We all live
Someone parked a Yellow Submarine under my yacht.
Why can’t reply directly to capman aka Mike
I sound like James T. Kirk
Chevolay, Its because HFW site only is allowing comments being nested 2 deep. It just looks weird.
hello
Hi. Someone start a conversation while we wait for the next video.
Miss M. I just got this again. All I was doing was hitting reload to refresh the program waiting for the new video.

It’s Jack hacking you Tee hee
Yea I wish it was me. Im not that good anymore. There are 15 year olds that can hack better than I.
Could you email me the code.. as it looks like nothing to me when you make it a comment.
Marina & capman911,
Capman, the characters issue in your browser is a browser encoding problem and the source of the problem can be anywhere along the line from the hosting site, network packets dropped, your OS settings & changes, and on it goes.
ref: encoding issues UTF-8 versus ISO-8859
The HFW site pages uses a metatag encoding of UTF-8.
Here is a URL that discusses the issue, but it still may not resolve specifically yours.
http://www.ccs.uottawa.ca/webmaster/templates/faq/ weird-characters.html
If you still need help capman, I’ll help you off-line. Send me a message at YT where the username is the same as mine here..
Marina & capman,
Another quick note. The original code for the search box in the upper right of the page was originally coded for ISO-8859-1, where the page is coded for UTF-8. That search box code is now commented out, so this is a non issue for normal operation.
However, since capman was doing page refreshes, it is possible that he disrupted the normal flow and caused a perturbation in the browser rendering. This is especially noticeable on slower PCs, / slow DSL connections. Therefore, cached page corruptions can affect normal viewing until cache is cleared and sometimes also cookies.
pedantickarl, That was my thinking also when he was refreshing quickly but I wasn’t sure if that was the case or not. I think your right on thinking that it was cached page corruptions from slower connections. I’ve see this before with 56k connections. I didn’t think I was still possible to get such corruptions with DSL speeds.
Thanks for the info Pedantickarl.
Looks like there was an error in the code. I think we are looking at raw data. I think its just a bug in the browser. Just try refresh again.
Thats what I was doing when it put up the code was refreshing.
Thanks for the comment up above Captn. Also welcome back from your modem mishap.
Normally, if it was a browser mis-config, the characters would look differently. The broad definition of a slow Win PC can also imply many things including HD not defragged, spyware infections, corrupted files and so on.
The host (i.e http server, page coding) can also be an issue occasionally, especially when it comes to unicode and PHP programming. Capman’s issue and I think James’ may have occured when the voting thumbs were invoked, and then later revoked. People who were online at that time may have then seen the char issues.
By the way, I loved your photo album and also the website & map of your surroundings. Great stuff.
I saw it was many characters so I didn’t think it would have been encoding issue. Some time new plugins can affect php files if not properly written. There are lots of spaghetti programmers out there if you know what I mean. Thanks for the lesson. I’ve fallen behind the times because Im doing maritime work now. I might have to call on you sometime if I run into a problem that I can’t find a solution to.
Glad you like the photos. That was just a small sample of the city I’m living at. I like the town but I have not close friends here. Gets a bit lonely living in a town you don’t have good/smart friends to chat with.
@ HFW users, The photo album that pedantickarl was talking about is here: My photos of Kirkland, Wa and other things. Oh and my buddies on the “Time Bandit”. What a hoot that party was. I should have taken more photos. I was a bit… well intoxicated!
That half of page of jiberrish is now gone
Marina must have erased it.
Capman, I just added some more info to Marina’s comment below.

Hey! Where did all the thumbs go?
Come on guys, you’re all too old, take your thumbs out of your mouths.
I don’t know, I switched to three different browsers thinking something was wrong with each one. I glad I am not the only one to see this.
Well I have to suckle on something. Make me feel secure. Where’s my blanky! Waaawww. I want my blanky…
Hey, I notice the blog is loading faster. I wonder if the plugin was the cause of it? I don’t think it would be. Because its on Marina’s server side and not some remote site.
