i like my nightmares,i dont get em enough.so how about the origin of the [necronomicon] some say it was written by the mad arab…some say h.p. lovecraft
My worst nightmare was ….. ” something was chasing me i didnt know what it was but i had to run… but my body felt so heavy and it felt so real… and right in the moment i woke up it felt like someone pulled on my leg with unbelievable force I was so scared i just closed my eyes and didnt move a single inch…”
My worst nightmare was when I watched the [Grudge] and I was so scared I couldn’t go to sleep for more than an hour without seeing someone in my closet staring at me. I slept with my grandma for like, half a year…
Well my worst nightmare was that i was blind and in the dream everything was dark and all i could do is hear voices talk about how sad it was that i was blind
Well, they say that the Incubus’s shlong is abnormally cold, but anyway, I was wondering if you could see if you can do the word [Pwned], if you can’t, then please message me back and I’ll come up with some more ideas.
I was lying on the couch when I heard someone breaking in the back door. I suddenly panicked yet I couldn’t move. I tried to yell and scare them away but not a sound came out of my mouth. Then I couldn’t catch my breath and it felt like a gigantic person or thing was sitting on my chest pinning me down, but whatever it was, it was invisible.Then I felt a sinking feeling and got cold like I was dying and fade to black…
Marina you foul succubus!! I’d have to agree that it was added cause the men were feeling left out. And she is the total package wonkerine much like hotforprofits.
First let me say that your videos and website are wonderful.You my dear,are the total package!Such beauty in one so smart,is as rare as it is refereshing.
My girlfriend is from the Repulic of Georgia and while she speaks well,I find it fascinating to help her latch on to the nuances of her adopted language.Sometimes it gets pretty funny,kind of like watching “I Love Lucy” with subtitles.(…and yelling!)
Keep up the great work Darlin’ and I will write back with some of my Georgian adventures.
I found this website while trying to explain what happened to me last night, and decided I would share.
Last night I woke up from a dream, only to realize something was laying on top of me. I saw a white arm which was keeping me pinned down as I tried to move. I felt like it was a man and he was trying to rape me. I tried to scream but no sound would come out of my mouth. Then the white hand moved over my face, I think he was trying to suffocate me. I tried to roll out of my bed, but I felt weak, powerless. I absolutely could not move or make a sound. I went back to sleep as quickly as I had woken up. This phenomenon is called sleep paralysis and may explain the myth of succubi and incubi, though it does not make it any less frightening!
My worst nightmare? I suddenly became aware that I was asleep. I struggled to wake up, and couldn’t. It was truly scary, like being nailed inside a coffin. I finally “awoke” in bed, then realized that I was STILL asleep. I awoke a second time, and this time I was truly awake. A feeling of being ALIVE and IN THIS WORLD overwhelmed me. To this day, I wonder if perhaps I didn’t have a heart attack while asleep. Perhaps I truly came back from the dead?

I can vividly remember a nightmare wherein a demon, who was profusely dripping acid from his eyes, nose and mouth, was menacingly hovering over me in my bed. His mouth was open and i could see his teeth which were filed to points. I could also hear a huge destructive noise during the short bad dream. It sounded like I was in hell. It seemed very real, and I woke dripping sweat, paranoid and with body aches and pains. The noise was the racket made by a road construction crew working nights up the street.

Welcome to Rome where you are as likely to meet a god as a man… Petronius
The community of gods (the quarter of Rome where the temples were) was occupied by gods and immortals. These thaumaturges were divided into 3 classes depending on how they acquired these “powers”: an incubare used 10 men a day for a year, a succubare used 10 women for a year, and an immortal was someone who had seen the fates (norns, moires, wierd sisters, …). The incubare saw the fates during the process of becoming a thaumaturge, so an incurbare was also immortal. The succubare did not meet the fates. The incubare and succubare both had a “fine body”, which means they looked like they did not have any pores visible. The immortals with “coarse bodies” had convinced the fates to do their bidding.
Simon Magus was an incubare and decided to raise money for charity by renting the Coliseum for his death — by going up in flames because it was time for his “maintenance dose”. Forget the Saint Peter scene — going up was not his intention.
Hi Marina,
Would like to start by saying what a lovely dress you have in this vid, very elegant and you of course beautiful as ever.
Nightmares, oh my, always starts well, always involves a very old house. Sunny out side playing around but then a sudden urge to leg it inside and lock all doors and windows. As I hurry around the house, I am aware of someone, or thing trying to get inside to catch me. Its now dark outside but I can see Dracula scraping his way in through a small window. I just manage to close it before he gets in. He smiles at me then gone. I turn and see only half the room as all dark at the oposite end. I know I have to go there to escape but too scared so I clime into the walls which are narrow, wooden, dusty full of bugs and things. I crawl along for what seems ages hearing Dracula trying to break the walls to get a hold of me. Sometimes I get stuck unable to move. When I manage to get to the other end of the room, I push open a secret hatch and sneak past him as he frantically scrapes the walls. Once I’m outside its all sunny again but the feeling is not so good. Sinister feelings that make me shudder feeling cold. It is then I find myself walking alone along a beach. Always to my left are buildings but no people. In front of me a resturant, about half a mile away. To my right an ever growing stormy sea with waves getting bigger each time I look. I choose not to look behind. I run to the resturant just managing to close the door behind me in time to stop this huge wave washing over me. Inside the resturatnt many people sit oblivious to the stormy sea, eating, drinking and laughing. Its only when the glass begins to break with the preasure of the sea that they start panicing, running to the exit. The sea crashes in sweaping everything away in its path. I am drowning unable to swim to the surface when a white horse appears and rescues me, or so I think. I awake just as the horses face turns into Dracula.
This nightmare has been with me since I can remember, pretty much the same.. Always feels weird unable to go back to sleep because if I do, I am back on the beach only this time being chased by many white horses…….
Another is similar to rgabashmoon comments below. My late father sat bolt up right in the loft, all happy, but dead. Yeah, not so good.
Once in hospital, I dreamt I was naked walking around a fate buying hotdogs and burgers. As I ate the food, blood started to drip from the bread covering my body. Cant think if it was a reaction to the hospital food, laying there naked for best part of six months or the twice weekly blood tests. Certainly wasn’t the nurses causing me nightmares!
Marina, please do feel free at anytime to visit me in my sleep
Oh and my worst nightmare was probably just after my dad died, he was back and it was weird and scary cause I knew my dad was dead, yet there he was just fine, and it was like… Is this really my dad, or is it a demon pretending to be him? My mom had similar dreams too, though hers were mostly “People know he died, how are we going to explain that he’s back?”
Hey ragabashmoon,
Same happened to me after my father died. Did you get any weird dreams before he died? I had one which changed my thinking towards life and ‘the other side’ – as OB1 Canobe says in Star Wars to Vader, ‘You srike me down and I will become more powerful than you can possibly ever imangine’ – if I lose my keys, I just call out to dad and ask him to help me find them or if I have trouble in mind, I know hes somehow helping me figure things out. I guess in spirit terms, what can never be born, can never die, we are all universal spirits experiencing a human exisitance. I dunno, like to think that way when it comes to many friends and family lost over the years
It is very interesting to remark how Italian maintained the Latin word and structures for both terms,then in Italian succube is also an adjective meaning ”dominated”,’’slave” or ”captive” For instance ”marito succube” means a hen-pecked husband… anyway MARINO4KA one of my worst nightmares is not seeing you anymore!
Your description of an incubus for its carnal relations is similar to that of a vampire. Is that partially where they get a description of a vampire from? I forgot, I know there are many interpretations for vampires.
I don’t really have a worse nightmare. Just unpleasant ones of either getting lost, bugs and spiders, or on rare occasions vampires. I use to have a fear of falling downstairs, but I haven’t had a dream like that in years. Oh, and I hate having the kind of dream where my teeth are falling out, or looking deformed or something like that.
I remember my first nightmare when i was a toddler. I dreamt that I was lying in my crib, and it was all dark. And one of my stuffed animals, which was a small, triangular-shape dog, suddenly grew teeth and jumped off from the floor as he was growling towards me. And then I woke up. It may of had something to do, in real life, of a mentally sick puppy, a German Shepard, that bit me in the face for no apparent reason. My family had to put that puppy down, and I think I still have a little bit of bite impressions, that is barely visible as I aged, on the right side of my face. Hope this wasn’t too depressing.
I would have a Nightmare…….a few times ….the same one monthly times…….basiclly….i was dreamimg then i would …..wake up…..get dressed for school….go to school….then half way in the day…WAKE UP ! scared the HELL out of me….as sometimes….i had to wake up TWICE to be awake ! ….i know that sounds crazy….but thinking you r awke when your NOT can be more scarry than a monster!
My worst nightmare was reoccurring while I lived near a race until I was about 9. This race runs through the north side of a city just past a closed shingle factory. Anyone that lived in the north of town and wanted to walk or bike to school needed to cross a bridge over the race and pass the factory. Swimming, fishing and seining where all past times in this race and the river it is a tributary to growing up in this city. One night, I had a nightmare of being forced into the race and stabbed. This nightmare occurred sporadically until we moved just out of town.
Incubi and succubi they are also part of God’s design, perhaps they where referenced as the holy ghost? Subject to his will and designs, this perhaps also where we get the descriptions of a battle being fought between heaven and hell, those who are disobedient to his design of the universe creating so much disarray so as to threaten the very existence of everything. Can you image nothing, no heaven, no hell, no earth, no moon, no sun, no stars in the night, no reality just nothing? No incubi no succubi, no angels good or fallen, Now that could be a creators worst nightmare, especially if it was used in a disobedient fashion, to all in existence.
nice..i always knew what they meant but i never knew the precise root meanings …cool
oh and my worst nightmare is whenever i dream that i am been chased to be killed and i run as fast a turtle and i cant control my movements..
or when i have powers and then when i really need to use them i cant!Lol…………but anyways
what’s up with the word MONOPOLY? doesnt mono mean one and poly mean many;alot; ????
Hey Marina… i was wondering if its just a coincidence that the words live and lived spellt backwards means evil and devil or there is something else behind
“And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him.” – Revelation 6:8
Oh great – now I have a sudden urge to watch “Pale Rider”, again.
Another good Clint Eastwood film is “The Beguiled”. Clint gets
to hang with a bunch of comely schoolgirls – Yowza!
I won’t spoil the ending, but be prepared for a shock.
Marina; I find your videos to be entertaining as well as informative. It’s a pretty nice thing that you have developed, and I am impressed with your work, well as your intelect. Your personallity is so wonderfully vibrant, I believe you could make a dead man smile. You made me. Thank you for being Honest, Pure, Unselfish, and Loving towards everyone that you direct your videos to, IE your audience.
My God bless and be with you allways.
How about the word (Jackalope)? I heard of a gentalman that raised them on a ranch for there milk to make a very rare cheese.
Homework: Worst nightmare.. I can’t really say for they contain secrets. I no longer have nightmares like I did in years ago. I think when you find a happy life style they tend to go away. I do remember a scary night I woke up in the middle of the night with a hand resting against my face. I live in a two bedroom apartment… alone. Who’s hand was this? I thought! I tried to move my hands and discovered that it was my own hand. Both of my arms where paralyzed from me sleeping on them. I was twisted up in the covers so it was hard to move. What made things worse was that I had a king sized water bed. The soft squishy kind that’s hard to get in and out even when your arms are working fine. Never the less I was very freaked out I might add! I had no way of calling someone to help. Not even the beautiful bombshell neighbor Alison that lived up above me could hear my cries for help (poor insulation. You can hear voices in the upstairs bedroom.) I lye there helplessly wondering how I was going to get out of bed in the dark room with no use of my arms in a water bed that was difficult to get out of…
Uh huh – thought you would squirrel out of doing your homework?
Ok, I’ve had a few secret dreams, too, so you get to slide.
I hate when the feeling returns and it’s pin ‘n’ needles all
up and down your arm to your fingertips ’till you flail it off.
They make these little plastic balls to put into a water
matress that knocks down the wave motion and allows
for stability, so you can get leverage when you need it.
I sat on one w/o balls and didn’t know it was a waterbed
until my butt hit bottom, and the subsequent wave threw
me out onto the floor! Now I feel test before sitting on a
strange bed. Fair warning – learn from my mistake
Worst nightmare? An otherwise forgettable dream turns into a situation where I’m alone with some kind of unpleasant, invisible presence that’s inching closer second by second. The longer I wait to wake up (escape) the hard it is, as this thing gradually tightens its hold around me. Sound like fun?
I never left, No more fighting with morons that’s all.
I am like the attack dog that needs to be chained in the back yard.. She likes her little fluffy white Poodle. Kobe won’t bite, He’d just lick them to death.
Couldn’t stay away. I was just
getting bad ideas, had to break
the cycle. Do you think Roadrunmch
could use a new Gravatar? RIP
is soooo bleak, mon!
Thanks for the welcome
hi well my worst nightmare was when i had to date some chick name Danice, boy she was hideous, the reason for me doing this was because i lost a bet over my grandma, well she dead now. Anyway that is my worst nightmare
My worst nightmare is my current job. Unfortunately, it’s iterative- day after day after day. There are a bunch of Creationists there who believe that the Earth is only 5,000 years old and that evolution is “just a theory.” Some even have degrees in biology, which leaves them no excuse for believing in such silly, antiquated myths. I need to get out of there.
There are an amazing number of people who still believe that. In Gen 3:20, Eve is clearly touted as “the mother of all living.” Now I’m not real good at figuring this stuff out like some, but if that was the case then how in tarnation did Cain find a wife to the east of Eden in the land of Nod as Gen 4:17 & 18 goes on to explain? Ooooh….Major continuity flaw in that movie script! But who cares about accuracy? What the hell, let’s build a theosophy on it anyway! And now Brother Finbar will pass the collection plate.
As the late George Carlin so eloquently said: “If I’m wrong, may the Lord strike this audience dead!” Now THAT got a good belly-laugh from the crowd!
I’ve had nightmares about plane crashes and getting stuck in a cave in which I couldn’t turn around and felt as if I couldn’t breath. Those are the worst….. ugh
aLx, have you ever seen dark city there has been discussion over the similarities of dark city and the matrix. while its on my mind have you seen city of lost children?
Dark City came out before The Martix- one of my favorites.
Jennifer Connelly is such a babe.
Underworld was good too.
Ever see Event Horizon w/Laurence Fishburne?
Donnie Darko was a trip.
I WISH I could say that my nightmares included a Succubus, 3 hours of top notch performance from both of us, and an inability to climax. However, I will have to just be honest
I have this nightmare where I can’t see anything, like I’m in a place that is pitch dark. Then, I start to hear intruders, people coming toward me. So, I try to move so that I can defend myself. Yet I ironically can NOT move, even an inch. I keep on trying to rock myself left and right, getting more and more worried about the impending noises coming nearer. Then, I finally wake up all at once. It’s a wierd dream, since I can’t see anything and can’t move.
marina in star trek they have a device that breaks stuff and ppl to nothing but atoms and transports it to point b it is called the TRANSPORTER could u do a word origen of that word please with cherry on top
I think you ought to more about vampires, based on the photo. And, for the record my worst nightmare didn’t happen in a dream but it all turned out well, eventually. Life is good!
Nope, but close. It was the time I was hit by a drunk driver someone who decided that getting smashed and driving was a great way to spend Superbowl Sunday – after the game. Luckily, I had no memory of my car being hit. I hear my parents fainted when they saw it. Unluckily, I spent a week in the hospital with a broken foot. They’d probably have treated it as an outpatient surgery today
but the hospital stay was pretty good, considering. I never knew that drugs could do such wonderful things for pain – and my dreams. I saw things I’ve never seen before and never seen since. I think I just found one of those things on Ebay, though
my worst nightmare would be when i had a dream about hell scared the living crap out of me must have been aither the snack i ate or the movie i wached maybe both
the myth of the incubus also caused many mothers and/or child birth attendants to commit infanticide if the infants were malformed. this aspect of religion was responsible for the innocent deaths of thousands of women and children due to ignorance and superstition or religion.
Although it is now a word, like “scuba”, it began as a mnemonic consisting of the vowels to be sung in the phrase “seculorum Amen” ( SCUBA stands for Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus )
I would have thought that too before this morning when I double-checked the meaning of each word. Discrete means individually separate and distinct, while discreet means being careful and circumspect in one’s speech and actions in order to avoid causing offense or to gain an advantage. Who would have thought it?
Not a word, but a phrase. ‘Goody-two-shoes’.
When the actress Julie Andrews finished making ‘The Sound of Music’, the year after ‘Mary Poppins’ — she was starred in a fairly risque movie titled ‘The Americanisation of Emily’. She said, at the time — I don’t want to be known as ‘Goody-two-shoes’.
Unfortunately, for her, it stuck.
What is the origin of this expression please, Marina?
This is very interesting. Sounds like a combination of superstition, and as you so correctly mention, an excuse. Dreams have a tenancy to “feel” real to those that recall fragments of these information dumps.
Worst dream I have had is imagining I had actually murdered someone in my past, and finding that others are about to discover my deed years later. Not eating snacks before bed seems to have cured me of most bad dreams.
It has been said that the word “gullible” is not in the dictionary!!! Can you believe it, look and see, it is NOT there! So, where does that word come from???
If the sitting shot-gun is confusing I’m guessing you haven’t seen that many Westerns. For a classic example watch “The Magnificent Seven”. I believe Steve McQueen rides shot-gun for Yul Brynner in one of the first scenes.
It’s not that odd that young people today know little of our History.
Like the “Driver” was the Man that would handle the horses. Driving (handling) the horses, and the Number two Man on the stage or wagon was the “Shot Gun” ie, A Guard with a shot gun that sat to the Drivers side.
These days my dreams are more bizarre than scary. I’ll be back on a ship but with all the wrong people ( people I know from non-Navy experiences ) and no one knows what to do ( actually that was true alot anyway with people who actully were in the Navy ) and about the time I say to myself “these people don’t belong here” I wake up.
hello Marina ! well I wonder where from comes word ” sex” ( relation) , I mean its international word, and it would be intressting to know where it took begining. and I apolagize if you find me vulgar “izveni menya” and “spasiba” for attantion
I saw The Old Hag once.
I had to cancel a flight because of bad weather, and the only place I and my crew could find to stay for the night was an old hotel, which was about to be closed and knocked down to make way for a new motorway.
We didn’t know it when we checked in, but we would be the last guests to stay there.
The place was rather run down and neglected, but they gave us a reasonable meal and a bottle of wine and we retired to bed.
About two o’clock in the morning, I was conscious of “a presence” in the room with me. I was lying on my side facing the wall, and there was this grey eminence standing by the bed behind my back, leaning over me.
I felt icy cold, and frozen with fear.
What was it that was looking at me?
Was it the ghost of some person who had died in this building, and knew that its home was about to be demolished?
What did it want with me?
Did it mean me any harm or was it seeking my help?
Eventually, with a supreme effort of willpower, I managed to turn my head to try to get a better look at the apparition, whereupon it just faded away.
Suddenly I was no longer feeling cold, and realised that I was soaking wet, bathed in sweat. I didn’t get much more sleep that night.
In the morning, when we were checking out, I asked at reception if any previous guests had ever complained about that room I stayed in. The receptionist just smiled and asked if I had seen a ghost.
It wasn’t until years later, that I read about the explanation of my experience which is known as Sleep Paralysis and is the cause of many folkloric tales of Ghouls, Ghosties, Demons, Incubi and Succubi.
My wife and I woke at the same time feeling the same thing- like someone was in the room with us and staring down from above us.
How would this condition explain that?
Interesting what I learn from you, Marina. I kind of wondered after I started listening to a band named “Inkubus Sukkubus” (altered spelling). They’re a pagan rock band from some place overseas. I don’t even have to look it up now, I just have to look you up. (not in a creepy stalker way, I mean check this website for this video lol)
Earthquake?
It didn’t make the news over here.
I was in a 5.4 in Tokyo once. No Big Deal, it just rattled the glasses and bottles in the minibar in my hotel room.
Any dream / nightmare analysis expert here?
I dreamt this several times as a kid (4-5 years old I think)…
I was in the park, and I get attacked by many small dwarfs with inflatable baseball bats and pointy red hats, I felt I could fight back, but there was no reason to. I felt no pain, only annoyance. And they wouldn’t stop to talk to me, they just kept hitting and hitting. I was all stoic about it, until I woke up… just before my mom would enter the room and say it’s time to get up…
Crazy isn’t it?
Should I even submit this? OK I’ll be brave about it, but make even 1 wise crack and I’m never posting anything again.
Neah, I’ll just post hate comments instead, that’s always a fun payback thing to do. That, and DDOS attacks until your computer catches fire!
Submitting… be nice.
marina good video 5* i believe in those demons do i believe that the demon incubus made the woman pregnant no but something influence her to lie about it ether-way satan wins people say a lot of things to make themselves look good that dvel
People call them demons, except there not they are fallen angels, (everyone may call evil or not) both male and female two separate individual and heavenly angels, (everyone may call good or not) both male and female two separate individual angels.
Best use your head and think it through before making such comments, God only works in complete sets. Everyone has to learn by thinking about such things. and the world was once thought to be flat and you could sail off the edge also.
I did sail off the edge of the world, and I landed in this strange place, peopled by crazed demons, all offering gifts of words to a beatific, pulchritudinous, blonde goddess, who is balancing the flat earth on her bodacious bosoms and hips, so that whenever she has an orgasm she causes earthquakes and tsunamis in the world above.
i had an pet ET fall off the shelf in the middle of the night once….thought it was freaking evil…couldnt sleep, breath or move for the rest of the night….tore it open the next morning and it was full of empty peanut shells…what gives?…
I looked over you lessons and came up with yet another request: The straw that broke the camel’s back. I know what the saying means, but did this ever really happen? why a camel why not a horse, or a goat?
A camel CAN jump through the eye of a needle. As the parable goes, it’s easier for a camel to jump through the eye of a needle than it is for a wealthy man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Sorry, I can’t give chapter ior verse on that one though.
What in the world does BROBDINGNAGIAN mean???I have asked tons of people and they have no idea.I don’t even know how to pronounce it.I have researched on the internet but their descriptions just really confused me more.Please help.Thank you so much!!!!!
As for my worst nightmare…….I haven’t had it in a long time, but when I was a young boy, I used to dream all the time of floating in an endless black void. I felt like I was being held down and slowly suffocated. I would always wake up gasping for air. This went on for a few years when I was around ten or so. After I hit my teens, it just stopped. Maybe the demons got tired of messing with me….
Dude that happens to me almost daily. Even my sister gets Deja Vu. She takes it a step further and writes down her dreams. Later we discover they come about 80% true. I just keep telling dream up some lottery numbers. I’ve yet to see her win…
i had deja vu ..once i had a holiday to the yorkshire area in england…..wet….foggy night …reading local ghost stories of the area.
us the family did a holiday tour round a old BIG home….i was olny aroun 12 years old…wanted the LOO….found it with out asking !! i felt i knew where to go…..or as if some ghost maybe told me……Deja vu??……
created a word on COD4( a videogame) the word: noobtube i looked my word up and it said:
The name given, by players of the game CoD4, to the assault rifle mounted grenade launcher do to the fact that it is seen as requiring little skill to use and the fact that it is, in fact, a tube.
but what i mean with noobtube is when you watch a noob playing, when you are not in the game( looking trough killcam or spectator) thats what i mend with noobtube, can you make a video cause everybody uses it the wrong way ( i just blurred the word out when i was playing on cod and just saw a video on youTUBE)
I personaly never remember my dreams, weird really, I can walk all day knowing I had a dream, but not remembering a thing out of it…
Also about Succubus (I love mythology) they don’t always aim to steal a mans vitality, they sometimes do it to get impregnated in order to give birth to some nasty demonic creatures.
And a favored thing of them to do was to seduce monks sworn to celebacy (sp) and in so doing lure God’s trusted servant into lust and hell.
Also i’m still hoping you will do the word Quack, fake Doc, and hopefully I still have the Captaons vote on that word =P
About a months ago I had an urge to write poetry. I went to a park and was watching people around me doing what people do at parks. I wrote 3 pages of my thoughts and observations on a little note pad I had with me. I don’t know how to write poetry, but would like to learn some basics. What I want to know is if anyone has any recommendations on how I should go about this?
__/)___*__
Making observations is a good start, remember poetry DOES NOT need to rhyme. Good poetry comes from the heart. If you like what you start stick with it. Don’t change it for oher people.
Good luck with this adventure. Happy birthday once again. Hope you wern’t offended by the post I did on your T.A. page.
Great advice. On thing my high school art teacher said its better to only learn basics to get started in making art, so one doesn’t get boxed in with all the rules of advanced art. Rules tend to box in creativity.
Offended? Never! The glass is half full. I only question is why wasn’t 51% full?
There are so many ways to learn how to write poetry but Kenneth Koch has some poetry books that can be helpful. You can hand out at poetry readings and with poets but they can muddle up your creativity as much as inspire it so you need to find a way to be yourself and not let anyone pull you away from that. At the same time, constructive criticism is a good thing. I used to be part of a poetry workshop until my ferret got out of its cage and upset a couple of members and stained one of my walls with coffee when one person screamed and flung the coffee all over the place. Maybe you could turn this comment into a poem
My high school photography teacher mention the same thing when I would look at other professional photographers. He told me not to duplicate what they where doing but just shoot photos that where of interest for me not to worry about what others would think. With that and shooting odd number of object as appose to even numbered ones, my pictures gave me straight “A”s.
captain jack you said i don’t know how to write poetry don’t say that just let go and write it you cant learn it its a gift you just have to let it out you got it
I see people running to the edges of the earth like lemmings jumping over the cliffs. I feel I should say something to stop them from their futile leaps to death. As I speak, my words fall into deaf ears. I’m thinking maybe poetry might be one way of getting the word out. At the very least maybe it might be fun to write and the heck with all the damn lemming of the earth.
Hey Jack , what a cool question. I was a poetry major and studied under some world class poets. There is so much you can do with poetry & some things you shouldn’t—at first concentrate on what you can do and just write. Poetry is really condensed prose, the imagery, thoughts, tell a story (or communicate something) but use fewer & more selective words. The strongest poems generally focus on one or two moments in time, one or two images, one or two themes. They aren’t riddles but more open images based on your experiences. Take your day in the park that’s a poem waiting to happen: what did you see, feel, think, experience, recollect. Make it come alive: Here it began/Running for the shelter of that Sycamore there/the touch of your wet Auburn hair in my hands/and your tongue tasting like watermelon.
Poems still have conflict but for imagery use what you see: As the young boy climbs the slide’s ladder/and struggles to hold up his pants/Someday, he’ll have bigger problems/like watching you work later & later/with the new “team” from Ohio always/the same white car and your lips tasting like wine. Silly quick examples of my thinking about what you could have experienced in the park. But what DID you experience? Use (write about) all of your senses. Anyways, you wanted tips on how to go forward not examples. So, read poetry and find what you think works. Find a poetry workshop. Junior colleges are great, but there are many out there. In short, read poetry, write & find some forum/workshop and I hope any of this helps.
ps Had to split this in two to post for it to work?
probably a limit to the number of characters in a post/reply – these are supposed to be comments, not essays. that’s NOT a criticism, just an explanation. i applaud your effort to help CJ & I applaud CJ for expanding his literary efforts.
The reason camels are known as “ship of the desert” is because they don’t have the same gait as horses (or most other quadrupeds, for that matter). The difference is that a horse advances its left front leg and its right hind leg (opposite sides of its body, like most quadrupeds) almost simultaneously, then its right front leg and its left hind leg advance. The front and hind legs from opposite sides tend to work in unison, then alternate to the other two to keep its balance (and therefore the rider’s weight as well) fairly steady in a straight-line arrangement resulting in a relatively smooth, forward-flowing motion. Same thing is true with cats, dogs, etc. and it’s fairly easy to see if you watch them walk or run in slow motion.
Camels, on the other hand, advance both the right front and the right hind foot (both on the same side of the body instead of opposite sides of the body) more or less simultaneously, then alternates to the other side, causing the rider to sway widely from side to side as it walks on both right feet, then both left feet in its natural gait. It feels like a ship listing from one side to the other side on the waves, and takes some getting used to, according to my understanding of it. I’ve never ridden one, but I have done some horseback riding. Hope that helps!
okay4now, Thank you for the lesson. If you condense proses in to poetry, then are you watering down the effectiveness of the point or thought your trying to communicate?
PT9, This video from Boston Dynamics might sever as a good example of robot walking like most quadrupeds. You can see the opposite legs move to each step. Boston Dynamics Big Dog
I have ridden a very smelly camel. Yes they do sway! The humps are great for hanging on!
Captainjack,
Good luck with your poetry! okay4now gave you great advice, and all that I can add is to have fun with it. It’s very rare to write poetry for profit, but it’s a nice exercise as long as you enjoy it. For example, my “nightmare” yesterday might have been like this:
I looked at my monitor and what did I see?
Three beautiful Marinas looking back at me.
They wore a tiny top and bottom in Aqua Blue.
No doubt thay wore pretty matching shoes.
This well could be a dream of fun,
but even I knew it could only be with one.
So in my dream, I got two to leave
for food from the Blu Jam to retrieve.
I got my one Marina so warm and comfy,
I didn’t know the two would be back in a jiffy.
They drove in a speedy Audi R8
They got warm food and wouldn’t be late.
Before I could get Marina One to kiss,
They were back to spoil all my bliss.
Their beautiful voices were so good to hear
but my beautiful dream became a cruel nightmare.
I told some people of a friend named Jack
Who lived on board a 60 ft Yacht
That he was a scholar at the art of teaching
He turned people into Captains and seaman
He loved the sea and made it his life
He would even put off at getting a wife
But then one day came a pretty young lass
Now he looks upon her as a part of her class
She would teach him words that he never new
So now there friends until a meeting comes true
I’ll post some stuff when I get some time to write it. It will be my first ever poem/prose. I hope it will speak to people as Capman’s poem captured my thoughts.
Where does the saying “Cute as a Button” come from, and what does it even mean? I personally do not think buttons are especially cute, so why is this considered a compliment?
I got done watching the ‘tit’ lesson. If they are so good why do we say, when things go bad or wron, we say it went ‘tits up’?
also i noticed a recent post and I want to know who is uncle bob(bob’s you uncle).
and where did we get the term heeb-geeb’s(???spelling)
sorry I know spelling is one of you pet peevs (see recent request).
your humble student

I can’t remember any nightmares of late, but when I was a kid I had a terrible recurring nightmare. I’d be riding in a glass elevator that traveled along the outside of the building and it would suddenly stop. Then the would fall out and I’d grab on to a railing, but I slip and fall, waking up before I hit the ground. To this day, I can barely climb a ladder without slightly freaking out.
I actually made a word request as a video response but you didnt allow it lol thats ok though, I was wondering why a grandfather clock is called a grandfather clock, and why when the time is on the wall its a clock, however when its on your wrist, its a watch. Hmmmm….
Hey! That’s quite good!
I like it, a lot!
Gold star for that idea.
Try this, for now
the full nine minute version
Time has come today http://youtube.com/watch?v=6nuiIqMQ4sA
I had a nightmare last night.
I dreamt that while i was sleeping, my mum let enter a couple of friends in my apartment, so when i awoke i found them in the living room and i realised they discovered my big secret which was lying on a paper. I was so lost and felt ashamed, plus they made jokes at me.
Horrible! Imagine that : they discovered that my big secret is… Wait a minute, I can’t tell you that !!
it really must be a big secret…
I mean, you’ve only just told us you know how it’s like to wet your bed.
I’m thinking you’ve done that as a kid, it’s all normal now right?
You can tell us anything, no one will make fun of you! If anyone does, I’ll make smoke come out of his PC! And the Capt. can ban him forever from the site.
So, your pretty much safe here…
Dear Marina, For about a week, you wouldn’t send us a kiss, or ask us to rate your video, and this time, you finally, after all these days, sent a kiss! I rated your video five stars!
My most recent nightmare was when I found myself with not one nor two, but three Marinas! They were all very beautiful, with wonderful hair and they were wearing these tiny, aqua blue mini shorts and tops. So naturally, I diverted two of them, by sending them on fool’s errand to get take-out food from the Blu Jam Cafe. This way, I could get friendly with my remaining Marina, by stroking and grooming her wonderful hair, gently massaging her beautiful shoulders and keeping her very warm and comfortable. Just as I was getting ready to provide my Marina with an “all-over” gentle massage, the other two Marinas came back, with four servings of food! “This me-ans it’s time to eat”, they said. Before I could ask, “How can you think of food at a time like this?”, my warmed-up Marina got up and said “Yes, I have a big appetite, now.” The other Marinas said, “Blu Jam Cafe me-ans the very best food.” So my nightmare was to be with three beautiful Marinas, and we were all eating a meal! They all talked in their beautiful voices and wonderful accents, and the food was excellent, but I still woke up from the dream very, very hungry…
Your dear student, seesix CM6
he’s not interested in porn, just real relationships. but he’s posting on a website about some lame contrived soft core dream he had about a woman he’ll never physically meet let alone really knows anything about. ok… there’s a real relationship for you. har har
Buzzward, let’s see posts from you that aren’t lame and contrived. Tell us about the many, great relationships you have. A constructive approach would be better than your derisive one.
These may be in high definition. Some computers want run them in HD. Get up with Captain Jack and explain your problem. He has control over her computer too. He might can help you with your problem. Don’t give in there has to be a fix for your problem.
Mike
melikadothechacha,
Yea I did get my own page. I didn’t pick the color but if I had I would have picked that color anyways.
I am just a simple servant helping a successful star become brighter than ever before.
Oh man, sorry to hear that, but
I think you ought to give her
another chance. I’ve been away
this week so I have missed your
comments before this.
Was there a particular word request
you’re looking for?
Out of 200+ videos, there should
be SOMETHING to hold your interest…
Don’t let the last 5 get you down. Hm’kay?
Thanks for the cool robotic vid! LMAO at the slippery ice part, but I have to admit it’s truly incredible how they programmed it to compensate in real time for tilt angle, unevenness, slips, and hill slope. Very cool! I want one! With what did it say, a 340-lb. payload? I’d name it “Sherpa” and use it to haul the cooler AND the canoe down to the water! Awesome!
Well Cap,I tried chemikals idea and installed firefox browser cause I had it on other PCs and it worked well enough.Not this time tho dammmitallanyway. When I click the vid from hotforwords home site it says “additional plugins needed”.I’ve been to Adobe and updated to the newest player twice but still get the same crap,tried restarting both firefox and the laptop,,the *new* laptop that is!! I’m about ready to see if it makes a good friggin frisbee! I could take aim at the concrete wellhouse! grrrrr.
It sure seems that the only place I have any probs is here at Marinas site and only with the vids,,wich,of course,is the **best** part!,,along with the most entertaining and informative dialog from all You Folks too of course!.
I often check both Microsoft and HP for updates but maybe a new one snuck past Me,gonna go see about that now. I’ve had PCs for some years now but might never be too good at the programming crap. TY All.
I have a similar problem on my laptop, but my desktop pc is ok.
The vids don’t work on my laptop with firefox 2.x, but are ok on my desktop pc using firefox 3 or IE.
I had to put Firefox 3 on my sons laptop to run videos from utube and this site. I had to install flash player after the firefox install. It works great now he has a HP with windows Home Priemum. But he loves firefox 3.0 now.
You know I have the same problem and it’s only recently. I can watch all of the videos but I can’t download a video on my laptop anymore, only with my pc. What’s behind this?
capman911, Flock has the same platform as Firefox. But it’s not Mozilla Flock! It’s also somehow linked to Netscape, because Netscape 8 asked me if I wanted to upgrade to Flock. *the social web browser*
with firefox you should be able to only click on the “plugin missing” thing and it should automatically detect, and give you the opportunity to download, the missing plugin.
in your case, it seems, it’s the flash player plugin that’s missing.
Second time and last that I say this.
Come to me , I will provide some blood to You , if needed.
Don´t drain me , that will cause some problems for both.
Notice that Your desire for blood will stop after You dripdrop me.
Of course I will help , a friend in need ,, why not indeed.
I cant say looking forward to this but nevertheless, I will help who in need is.
i like my nightmares,i dont get em enough.so how about the origin of the [necronomicon] some say it was written by the mad arab…some say h.p. lovecraft
My worst nightmare was ….. ” something was chasing me i didnt know what it was but i had to run… but my body felt so heavy and it felt so real… and right in the moment i woke up it felt like someone pulled on my leg with unbelievable force I was so scared i just closed my eyes and didnt move a single inch…”
lol that was my 2nd worst nightmare… i just remembered this one
I was attacked by bunch of squirel and when i woke up(woke up in the dream (not for real) ) i was permenantly disabled and had to get artificial limbs
My worst nightmare was when I watched the [Grudge] and I was so scared I couldn’t go to sleep for more than an hour without seeing someone in my closet staring at me. I slept with my grandma for like, half a year…
Well my worst nightmare was that i was blind and in the dream everything was dark and all i could do is hear voices talk about how sad it was that i was blind
Random A+++**!**#one….
[knight] is or are they demons?…nite love?!….born of a horse
Well, they say that the Incubus’s shlong is abnormally cold, but anyway, I was wondering if you could see if you can do the word [Pwned], if you can’t, then please message me back and I’ll come up with some more ideas.
Oh, hahahaha…
Aaah, Marina, your acting style is soooo funny! Encore!!!
I was bit by a vampire
Eurythmics – Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This) My random lesson, thank you…good show
I was lying on the couch when I heard someone breaking in the back door. I suddenly panicked yet I couldn’t move. I tried to yell and scare them away but not a sound came out of my mouth. Then I couldn’t catch my breath and it felt like a gigantic person or thing was sitting on my chest pinning me down, but whatever it was, it was invisible.Then I felt a sinking feeling and got cold like I was dying and fade to black…
Marina you foul succubus!! I’d have to agree that it was added cause the men were feeling left out. And she is the total package wonkerine much like hotforprofits.
Hello Marina,
First let me say that your videos and website are wonderful.You my dear,are the total package!Such beauty in one so smart,is as rare as it is refereshing.
My girlfriend is from the Repulic of Georgia and while she speaks well,I find it fascinating to help her latch on to the nuances of her adopted language.Sometimes it gets pretty funny,kind of like watching “I Love Lucy” with subtitles.(…and yelling!)
Keep up the great work Darlin’ and I will write back with some of my Georgian adventures.
I found this website while trying to explain what happened to me last night, and decided I would share.
Last night I woke up from a dream, only to realize something was laying on top of me. I saw a white arm which was keeping me pinned down as I tried to move. I felt like it was a man and he was trying to rape me. I tried to scream but no sound would come out of my mouth. Then the white hand moved over my face, I think he was trying to suffocate me. I tried to roll out of my bed, but I felt weak, powerless. I absolutely could not move or make a sound. I went back to sleep as quickly as I had woken up. This phenomenon is called sleep paralysis and may explain the myth of succubi and incubi, though it does not make it any less frightening!
My worst nightmare? I suddenly became aware that I was asleep. I struggled to wake up, and couldn’t. It was truly scary, like being nailed inside a coffin. I finally “awoke” in bed, then realized that I was STILL asleep. I awoke a second time, and this time I was truly awake. A feeling of being ALIVE and IN THIS WORLD overwhelmed me. To this day, I wonder if perhaps I didn’t have a heart attack while asleep. Perhaps I truly came back from the dead?

I can vividly remember a nightmare wherein a demon, who was profusely dripping acid from his eyes, nose and mouth, was menacingly hovering over me in my bed. His mouth was open and i could see his teeth which were filed to points. I could also hear a huge destructive noise during the short bad dream. It sounded like I was in hell. It seemed very real, and I woke dripping sweat, paranoid and with body aches and pains. The noise was the racket made by a road construction crew working nights up the street.

That was just a delayed reaction from the lsd you took when you where using. Mr Blue Jeans too you too. have a good re action.
Welcome to Rome where you are as likely to meet a god as a man… Petronius
The community of gods (the quarter of Rome where the temples were) was occupied by gods and immortals. These thaumaturges were divided into 3 classes depending on how they acquired these “powers”: an incubare used 10 men a day for a year, a succubare used 10 women for a year, and an immortal was someone who had seen the fates (norns, moires, wierd sisters, …). The incubare saw the fates during the process of becoming a thaumaturge, so an incurbare was also immortal. The succubare did not meet the fates. The incubare and succubare both had a “fine body”, which means they looked like they did not have any pores visible. The immortals with “coarse bodies” had convinced the fates to do their bidding.
Simon Magus was an incubare and decided to raise money for charity by renting the Coliseum for his death — by going up in flames because it was time for his “maintenance dose”. Forget the Saint Peter scene — going up was not his intention.
God your personality is bangin’. I don’t really like talking about nightmares.
But what was your nightmare about Marina? (You lost your brain?)
Hi Marina,
Would like to start by saying what a lovely dress you have in this vid, very elegant and you of course beautiful as ever.
Nightmares, oh my, always starts well, always involves a very old house. Sunny out side playing around but then a sudden urge to leg it inside and lock all doors and windows. As I hurry around the house, I am aware of someone, or thing trying to get inside to catch me. Its now dark outside but I can see Dracula scraping his way in through a small window. I just manage to close it before he gets in. He smiles at me then gone. I turn and see only half the room as all dark at the oposite end. I know I have to go there to escape but too scared so I clime into the walls which are narrow, wooden, dusty full of bugs and things. I crawl along for what seems ages hearing Dracula trying to break the walls to get a hold of me. Sometimes I get stuck unable to move. When I manage to get to the other end of the room, I push open a secret hatch and sneak past him as he frantically scrapes the walls. Once I’m outside its all sunny again but the feeling is not so good. Sinister feelings that make me shudder feeling cold. It is then I find myself walking alone along a beach. Always to my left are buildings but no people. In front of me a resturant, about half a mile away. To my right an ever growing stormy sea with waves getting bigger each time I look. I choose not to look behind. I run to the resturant just managing to close the door behind me in time to stop this huge wave washing over me. Inside the resturatnt many people sit oblivious to the stormy sea, eating, drinking and laughing. Its only when the glass begins to break with the preasure of the sea that they start panicing, running to the exit. The sea crashes in sweaping everything away in its path. I am drowning unable to swim to the surface when a white horse appears and rescues me, or so I think. I awake just as the horses face turns into Dracula.
This nightmare has been with me since I can remember, pretty much the same.. Always feels weird unable to go back to sleep because if I do, I am back on the beach only this time being chased by many white horses…….
Another is similar to rgabashmoon comments below. My late father sat bolt up right in the loft, all happy, but dead. Yeah, not so good.
Once in hospital, I dreamt I was naked walking around a fate buying hotdogs and burgers. As I ate the food, blood started to drip from the bread covering my body. Cant think if it was a reaction to the hospital food, laying there naked for best part of six months or the twice weekly blood tests. Certainly wasn’t the nurses causing me nightmares!
Marina, please do feel free at anytime to visit me in my sleep
Be Affraid, very affraid
Ha I never thought to ask of these words, but that’s really interesting!
Oh and my worst nightmare was probably just after my dad died, he was back and it was weird and scary cause I knew my dad was dead, yet there he was just fine, and it was like… Is this really my dad, or is it a demon pretending to be him? My mom had similar dreams too, though hers were mostly “People know he died, how are we going to explain that he’s back?”
Hey ragabashmoon,
Same happened to me after my father died. Did you get any weird dreams before he died? I had one which changed my thinking towards life and ‘the other side’ – as OB1 Canobe says in Star Wars to Vader, ‘You srike me down and I will become more powerful than you can possibly ever imangine’ – if I lose my keys, I just call out to dad and ask him to help me find them or if I have trouble in mind, I know hes somehow helping me figure things out. I guess in spirit terms, what can never be born, can never die, we are all universal spirits experiencing a human exisitance. I dunno, like to think that way when it comes to many friends and family lost over the years
Be well
It is very interesting to remark how Italian maintained the Latin word and structures for both terms,then in Italian succube is also an adjective meaning ”dominated”,’’slave” or ”captive” For instance ”marito succube” means a hen-pecked husband…
anyway MARINO4KA one of my worst nightmares is not seeing you anymore!
Your description of an incubus for its carnal relations is similar to that of a vampire. Is that partially where they get a description of a vampire from? I forgot, I know there are many interpretations for vampires.
I don’t really have a worse nightmare. Just unpleasant ones of either getting lost, bugs and spiders, or on rare occasions vampires. I use to have a fear of falling downstairs, but I haven’t had a dream like that in years. Oh, and I hate having the kind of dream where my teeth are falling out, or looking deformed or something like that.
I remember my first nightmare when i was a toddler. I dreamt that I was lying in my crib, and it was all dark. And one of my stuffed animals, which was a small, triangular-shape dog, suddenly grew teeth and jumped off from the floor as he was growling towards me. And then I woke up. It may of had something to do, in real life, of a mentally sick puppy, a German Shepard, that bit me in the face for no apparent reason. My family had to put that puppy down, and I think I still have a little bit of bite impressions, that is barely visible as I aged, on the right side of my face. Hope this wasn’t too depressing.
I wanted to leave work early but my boss said he was putting the kibosh on that idea. What is the origin of this word, kibosh?
My worst nightmare was President Bush getting elected and its lasted for eight years. Im so afraid.
Who will be my next nightmare !!! 
I would have a Nightmare…….a few times ….the same one monthly times…….basiclly….i was dreamimg then i would …..wake up…..get dressed for school….go to school….then half way in the day…WAKE UP ! scared the HELL out of me….as sometimes….i had to wake up TWICE to be awake ! ….i know that sounds crazy….but thinking you r awke when your NOT can be more scarry than a monster!
Hi, from Ukraine!! And thank you for intresting videos about different words!!!
Badass version of a nightmare “And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him.”
lol! i liked that one!
……is that from the Four horse men? …death….war….pestilance…..dam forgott the last one……
My worst nightmare was reoccurring while I lived near a race until I was about 9. This race runs through the north side of a city just past a closed shingle factory. Anyone that lived in the north of town and wanted to walk or bike to school needed to cross a bridge over the race and pass the factory. Swimming, fishing and seining where all past times in this race and the river it is a tributary to growing up in this city. One night, I had a nightmare of being forced into the race and stabbed. This nightmare occurred sporadically until we moved just out of town.
What is the origin of the word “gay”?
worse nightmare… long time ago. the world ended.
hey can you look up the words
SUBSCRIBE and FELINE
i was always wondering how feline means cat
and if subscribe is from the word scribe for writer
Can you make the picture at the begining of the “Incubi & Sucubi” video (where there’s three of you) a downloadable wallpaper?
That picture is hot!
Incubi and succubi they are also part of God’s design, perhaps they where referenced as the holy ghost? Subject to his will and designs, this perhaps also where we get the descriptions of a battle being fought between heaven and hell, those who are disobedient to his design of the universe creating so much disarray so as to threaten the very existence of everything. Can you image nothing, no heaven, no hell, no earth, no moon, no sun, no stars in the night, no reality just nothing? No incubi no succubi, no angels good or fallen, Now that could be a creators worst nightmare, especially if it was used in a disobedient fashion, to all in existence.
Hey guys new video is up and it is hot.
smokin’….?
nice..i always knew what they meant but i never knew the precise root meanings …cool
oh and my worst nightmare is whenever i dream that i am been chased to be killed and i run as fast a turtle and i cant control my movements..
or when i have powers and then when i really need to use them i cant!Lol…………but anyways
what’s up with the word MONOPOLY? doesnt mono mean one and poly mean many;alot; ????
E Pluribus Unum – many into one
oh nice.thnx!
Nice video! I didn’t know the meaning of both words!I would also like more thing for the word element.
my worst nightmare is waking up covered with bugs…!!
what is the difference between “discover” and “uncover”? thanks!!!
Hey Marina… i was wondering if its just a coincidence that the words live and lived spellt backwards means evil
and devil or there is something else behind 
hmm..interesting
Oh great – now I have a sudden urge to watch “Pale Rider”, again.
Another good Clint Eastwood film is “The Beguiled”. Clint gets
to hang with a bunch of comely schoolgirls – Yowza!
I won’t spoil the ending, but be prepared for a shock.
Marina; I find your videos to be entertaining as well as informative. It’s a pretty nice thing that you have developed, and I am impressed with your work, well as your intelect. Your personallity is so wonderfully vibrant, I believe you could make a dead man smile. You made me.
Thank you for being Honest, Pure, Unselfish, and Loving towards everyone that you direct your videos to, IE your audience.
My God bless and be with you allways.
How about the word (Jackalope)? I heard of a gentalman that raised them on a ranch for there milk to make a very rare cheese.
Yup! Marina makes an old man feel young, and a young man feel foolish!
this one has a jackalope in it

Homework: Worst nightmare.. I can’t really say for they contain secrets. I no longer have nightmares like I did in years ago. I think when you find a happy life style they tend to go away. I do remember a scary night I woke up in the middle of the night with a hand resting against my face.
I live in a two bedroom apartment… alone. Who’s hand was this? I thought! I tried to move my hands and discovered that it was my own hand. Both of my arms where paralyzed from me sleeping on them. I was twisted up in the covers so it was hard to move. What made things worse was that I had a king sized water bed. The soft squishy kind that’s hard to get in and out even when your arms are working fine. Never the less I was very freaked out I might add! 
I had no way of calling someone to help. Not even the beautiful bombshell neighbor Alison that lived up above me could hear my cries for help (poor insulation. You can hear voices in the upstairs bedroom.) I lye there helplessly wondering how I was going to get out of bed in the dark room with no use of my arms in a water bed that was difficult to get out of…
New video is up pal.
Uh huh – thought you would squirrel out of doing your homework?
Ok, I’ve had a few secret dreams, too, so you get to slide.
I hate when the feeling returns and it’s pin ‘n’ needles all
up and down your arm to your fingertips ’till you flail it off.
They make these little plastic balls to put into a water
matress that knocks down the wave motion and allows
for stability, so you can get leverage when you need it.
I sat on one w/o balls and didn’t know it was a waterbed
until my butt hit bottom, and the subsequent wave threw
me out onto the floor! Now I feel test before sitting on a
strange bed. Fair warning – learn from my mistake
Worst nightmare? An otherwise forgettable dream turns into a situation where I’m alone with some kind of unpleasant, invisible presence that’s inching closer second by second. The longer I wait to wake up (escape) the hard it is, as this thing gradually tightens its hold around me. Sound like fun?
Very good site! Why don’t you investigate for “Monkey Business?” Thanks!
Yes here is a good read for all the monkey fu*kersand gamblers.

hi well my worst nightmare was when i had to date some chick name Danice, boy she was hideous, the reason for me doing this was because i lost a bet over my grandma, well she dead now. Anyway that is my
worst nightmare
My worst nightmare is my current job. Unfortunately, it’s iterative- day after day after day. There are a bunch of Creationists there who believe that the Earth is only 5,000 years old and that evolution is “just a theory.” Some even have degrees in biology, which leaves them no excuse for believing in such silly, antiquated myths. I need to get out of there.
There are an amazing number of people who still believe that. In Gen 3:20, Eve is clearly touted as “the mother of all living.” Now I’m not real good at figuring this stuff out like some, but if that was the case then how in tarnation did Cain find a wife to the east of Eden in the land of Nod as Gen 4:17 & 18 goes on to explain? Ooooh….Major continuity flaw in that movie script! But who cares about accuracy? What the hell, let’s build a theosophy on it anyway! And now Brother Finbar will pass the collection plate.
As the late George Carlin so eloquently said: “If I’m wrong, may the Lord strike this audience dead!” Now THAT got a good belly-laugh from the crowd!

I’ve had nightmares about plane crashes and getting stuck in a cave in which I couldn’t turn around and felt as if I couldn’t breath. Those are the worst….. ugh

Wow, that art by Ralph Steadman is way creepy dude (looks like his art, anyway).
yeah, now that you mention it, the art does look like steadman’s.
aLx, have you ever seen dark city there has been discussion over the similarities of dark city and the matrix. while its on my mind have you seen city of lost children?
damn! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CNYG9cXTSds
Dark City came out before The Martix- one of my favorites.
Jennifer Connelly is such a babe.
Underworld was good too.
Ever see Event Horizon w/Laurence Fishburne?
Donnie Darko was a trip.
depression is just anger,

Wampire dance music?
I WISH I could say that my nightmares included a Succubus, 3 hours of top notch performance from both of us, and an inability to climax.
However, I will have to just be honest 
I have this nightmare where I can’t see anything, like I’m in a place that is pitch dark. Then, I start to hear intruders, people coming toward me. So, I try to move so that I can defend myself. Yet I ironically can NOT move, even an inch. I keep on trying to rock myself left and right, getting more and more worried about the impending noises coming nearer. Then, I finally wake up all at once. It’s a wierd dream, since I can’t see anything and can’t move.
marina in star trek they have a device that breaks stuff and ppl to nothing but atoms and transports it to point b it is called the TRANSPORTER could u do a word origen of that word please with cherry on top
I think you ought to more about vampires, based on the photo. And, for the record my worst nightmare didn’t happen in a dream but it all turned out well, eventually. Life is good!
These days.
Hi Jcr, was it when you were teaching your son to drive.
Nope, but close. It was the time I was hit by a drunk driver
someone who decided that getting smashed and driving was a great way to spend Superbowl Sunday – after the game. Luckily, I had no memory of my car being hit. I hear my parents fainted when they saw it. Unluckily, I spent a week in the hospital with a broken foot. They’d probably have treated it as an outpatient surgery today 
but the hospital stay was pretty good, considering. I never knew that drugs could do such wonderful things for pain – and my dreams. I saw things I’ve never seen before and never seen since. I think I just found one of those things on Ebay, though
my worst nightmare would be when i had a dream about hell scared the living crap out of me must have been aither the snack i ate or the movie i wached maybe both
What was the snack?
the snack was toco bell with alot of there fire hot sauce
And the movie?
the movie was about damed souls
Aha – makes sense that you had nightmares. Wow! What a combination!
Combination conflagration!
sounds like you had psychocinematicogastritis
whats psychocinematicogastritis
psycho=mind, cinematic=having the quality of a movie, gastro=stomach, itis=inflamation
meaning, an inflammation of the mind’s theater and stomach.
the myth of the incubus also caused many mothers and/or child birth attendants to commit infanticide if the infants were malformed. this aspect of religion was responsible for the innocent deaths of thousands of women and children due to ignorance and superstition or religion.

I was wondering about the expression used in the game “tag”, where we say “you’re it!” “it, what?”
In the UK, they say “you’re HE” instead of “you’re IT.”
Cute,
but untrue.

the longest English word consisting only of vowels: euouae. Origin (and meaning
) of that, please 
Sounds like an example of Irritable Vowel Syndrome.
Although it is now a word, like “scuba”, it began as a mnemonic consisting of the vowels to be sung in the phrase “seculorum Amen” ( SCUBA stands for Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus )
I have a word request. I want to know how “discrete” and “discreet” can mean different things, yet sound the same.
perhaps they’re just acceptable alternate spellings?…interesting…
annudder
I would have thought that too before this morning when I double-checked the meaning of each word. Discrete means individually separate and distinct, while discreet means being careful and circumspect in one’s speech and actions in order to avoid causing offense or to gain an advantage. Who would have thought it?
Not a word, but a phrase. ‘Goody-two-shoes’.
When the actress Julie Andrews finished making ‘The Sound of Music’, the year after ‘Mary Poppins’ — she was starred in a fairly risque movie titled ‘The Americanisation of Emily’. She said, at the time — I don’t want to be known as ‘Goody-two-shoes’.
Unfortunately, for her, it stuck.
What is the origin of this expression please, Marina?
Request a word: Sophist
This is very interesting. Sounds like a combination of superstition, and as you so correctly mention, an excuse. Dreams have a tenancy to “feel” real to those that recall fragments of these information dumps.
Worst dream I have had is imagining I had actually murdered someone in my past, and finding that others are about to discover my deed years later. Not eating snacks before bed seems to have cured me of most bad dreams.
A man between an INCUBUS and a SUCCUBUS is called a SANDWICH !
How about between to succubuses
my worst nightmare was that I fell off a cliff , barely surviving the fall, just to be faced with snakes and lava.
If I get a nightmare tonight, I know who to blame
It has been said that the word “gullible” is not in the dictionary!!! Can you believe it, look and see, it is NOT there! So, where does that word come from???
Merrum Webster Dictionary
Main Entry: gull·ible
Variant(s): also gull·able \ˈgə-lə-bəl\
Function: adjective
Date: 1818
: easily duped or cheated
— gull·ibil·i·ty \ˌgə-lə-ˈbi-lə-tē\ noun
— gull·ibly \ˈgə-lə-blē\ adverb
ha! this one it’s not me who fell for it.
errr … this time …
I guess I did.
Antinomy, you got me on this one, you know this means payback somehow.
My worst nightmare was about , having the sex with a fat girl…
Was she a “one paper bag girl” or a “two paper bag girl”?
I like the single baggers, you can bite a hole in the bag to get to her tongue
.
capman911, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9JjyVeWzwYg
i’m sure you guys are a girls dream. putting bags over a woman’s head so you can fuck them. smooth. no wonder girls don’t hang here much.
yeah. for some people reloads of pages take longer because it doesn’t just have to reload the gravatars and all, but the testosteron plugin as well.
oh, i forgot to mention that that was, of course, metaphorically speaking.;)
ha, metaphorically, yeah well then that’s f-ing okay.
I guess that’s why we hide behind gravatars and Alx and Jack show their faces.
never thought of it like that, avatar as masks as a bag over one’s head. good point.
where did the terms “scared the dickens” out of someone come from …and how did the term sitting shot gun end up to mean sitting in the co pilot seat
If the sitting shot-gun is confusing I’m guessing you haven’t seen that many Westerns. For a classic example watch “The Magnificent Seven”. I believe Steve McQueen rides shot-gun for Yul Brynner in one of the first scenes.
It’s not that odd that young people today know little of our History.
Like the “Driver” was the Man that would handle the horses. Driving (handling) the horses, and the Number two Man on the stage or wagon was the “Shot Gun” ie, A Guard with a shot gun that sat to the Drivers side.
Thats why I hate they quit making good old westerns.
These days my dreams are more bizarre than scary. I’ll be back on a ship but with all the wrong people ( people I know from non-Navy experiences ) and no one knows what to do ( actually that was true alot anyway with people who actully were in the Navy ) and about the time I say to myself “these people don’t belong here” I wake up.
hello Marina ! well I wonder where from comes word ” sex” ( relation) , I mean its international word, and it would be intressting to know where it took begining. and I apolagize if you find me vulgar
“izveni menya” and “spasiba” for attantion
I saw The Old Hag once.
I had to cancel a flight because of bad weather, and the only place I and my crew could find to stay for the night was an old hotel, which was about to be closed and knocked down to make way for a new motorway.
We didn’t know it when we checked in, but we would be the last guests to stay there.
The place was rather run down and neglected, but they gave us a reasonable meal and a bottle of wine and we retired to bed.
About two o’clock in the morning, I was conscious of “a presence” in the room with me. I was lying on my side facing the wall, and there was this grey eminence standing by the bed behind my back, leaning over me.
I felt icy cold, and frozen with fear.
What was it that was looking at me?
Was it the ghost of some person who had died in this building, and knew that its home was about to be demolished?
What did it want with me?
Did it mean me any harm or was it seeking my help?
Eventually, with a supreme effort of willpower, I managed to turn my head to try to get a better look at the apparition, whereupon it just faded away.
Suddenly I was no longer feeling cold, and realised that I was soaking wet, bathed in sweat. I didn’t get much more sleep that night.
In the morning, when we were checking out, I asked at reception if any previous guests had ever complained about that room I stayed in. The receptionist just smiled and asked if I had seen a ghost.
It wasn’t until years later, that I read about the explanation of my experience which is known as Sleep Paralysis and is the cause of many folkloric tales of Ghouls, Ghosties, Demons, Incubi and Succubi.
My wife and I woke at the same time feeling the same thing- like someone was in the room with us and staring down from above us.
How would this condition explain that?
Interesting what I learn from you, Marina. I kind of wondered after I started listening to a band named “Inkubus Sukkubus” (altered spelling). They’re a pagan rock band from some place overseas. I don’t even have to look it up now, I just have to look you up. (not in a creepy stalker way, I mean check this website for this video lol)
I requested the word Succubus here at your website; why didn’t I get credit as a requester? : (
Maybe it’s because you’re so wet.

Hello Bob,
Referring to your post regarding your sailing off the edge of the world and Marina’s balancing act, I guess Marina had a hot date today.
A 5.4 magnitude date.
Earthquake?
It didn’t make the news over here.
I was in a 5.4 in Tokyo once. No Big Deal, it just rattled the glasses and bottles in the minibar in my hotel room.
So you thought she’d say your name? Good try.
God, I’m so slow! I’v only just realised.
If he’s older than 14 he’s sofa king lame…
I have a new word
Gibberish!
Scariest nightmare – I dreamed I ate a 50 pound marshmallow. When I woke up I could not find my pillow. OK that’s an old bad joke.
Incubi and succubi are scary, but a Concubine (lie down with?) ….. hum?
Marina, what was your nightmare?!
Any dream / nightmare analysis expert here?
I dreamt this several times as a kid (4-5 years old I think)…
I was in the park, and I get attacked by many small dwarfs with inflatable baseball bats and pointy red hats, I felt I could fight back, but there was no reason to. I felt no pain, only annoyance. And they wouldn’t stop to talk to me, they just kept hitting and hitting. I was all stoic about it, until I woke up… just before my mom would enter the room and say it’s time to get up…
Crazy isn’t it?
Should I even submit this? OK I’ll be brave about it, but make even 1 wise crack and I’m never posting anything again.
Neah, I’ll just post hate comments instead, that’s always a fun payback thing to do. That, and DDOS attacks until your computer catches fire!
Submitting… be nice.
“Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar” – Freud
Maybe he’s right. It’s just funny I still remember that now.

NO.
marina good video 5*
i believe in those demons do i believe that the demon incubus made the woman pregnant no but something influence her to lie about it ether-way satan wins people say a lot of things to make themselves look good that dvel
People call them demons, except there not they are fallen angels, (everyone may call evil or not) both male and female two separate individual and heavenly angels, (everyone may call good or not) both male and female two separate individual angels.
angels are all male in the bible no female whear
Best use your head and think it through before making such comments, God only works in complete sets. Everyone has to learn by thinking about such things. and the world was once thought to be flat and you could sail off the edge also.
I did sail off the edge of the world, and I landed in this strange place, peopled by crazed demons, all offering gifts of words to a beatific, pulchritudinous, blonde goddess, who is balancing the flat earth on her bodacious bosoms and hips, so that whenever she has an orgasm she causes earthquakes and tsunamis in the world above.
ok bob, bob is just an o and s shy of being boobs, so you must be boobs uncle, Just the person Marina wants to make her Sun in hell
i had an pet ET fall off the shelf in the middle of the night once….thought it was freaking evil…couldnt sleep, breath or move for the rest of the night….tore it open the next morning and it was full of empty peanut shells…what gives?…
I think I’ve found my métier.

My worst nightmares were falling off high places such as cliffs, bridges, etc. and getting zapped by laser beams no matter where it took place.
I looked over you lessons and came up with yet another request: The straw that broke the camel’s back. I know what the saying means, but did this ever really happen? why a camel why not a horse, or a goat?
That’s a good question.
1¢ 2¢ Vincent this your profile name on that other service? You need an idea, here let me give you one.
Must be the same camel that
can’t get through the eye of
a needle. (Needle’s got eyes??!)
A camel CAN jump through the eye of a needle. As the parable goes, it’s easier for a camel to jump through the eye of a needle than it is for a wealthy man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Sorry, I can’t give chapter ior verse on that one though.
‘course, “a camel is a horse designed by committee”…
Why are camels called “ships of the desert”
Because they got caught when the tide went out, so the sailors just turned them upside down – the keel became a hump and the masts became legs.
Good one Bob! I liked that!
annuddermale, you and Bob your the ones who should be committeed .
They are. They’re both committed to their families.
and to Marina.
and to true friends…
Camels called “Ships of the Desert”- I heard a bad joke about that.
CaptainJack trains people to become “able bodied ……”
What in the world does BROBDINGNAGIAN mean???I have asked tons of people and they have no idea.I don’t even know how to pronounce it.I have researched on the internet but their descriptions just really confused me more.Please help.Thank you so much!!!!!
Here you go, ” http://www.thefreedictionary.com/BROBDINGNAGIAN+ “
Very interesting lesson today Marina.
As for my worst nightmare…….I haven’t had it in a long time, but when I was a young boy, I used to dream all the time of floating in an endless black void. I felt like I was being held down and slowly suffocated. I would always wake up gasping for air. This went on for a few years when I was around ten or so. After I hit my teens, it just stopped. Maybe the demons got tired of messing with me….
Have you ever had Deja Vu?
Like when you open a door
and suddenly remember
exactly when you had the
dream about events in
the here and now.
Dude that happens to me almost daily. Even my sister gets Deja Vu. She takes it a step further and writes down her dreams. Later we discover they come about 80% true. I just keep telling dream up some lottery numbers. I’ve yet to see her win…
i had deja vu ..once i had a holiday to the yorkshire area in england…..wet….foggy night …reading local ghost stories of the area.
us the family did a holiday tour round a old BIG home….i was olny aroun 12 years old…wanted the LOO….found it with out asking !! i felt i knew where to go…..or as if some ghost maybe told me……Deja vu??……
it stopped in your teen years…thats wierd…thats when another type of dream sets in no?…gotta go wash
created a word on COD4( a videogame) the word: noobtube i looked my word up and it said:
The name given, by players of the game CoD4, to the assault rifle mounted grenade launcher do to the fact that it is seen as requiring little skill to use and the fact that it is, in fact, a tube.
but what i mean with noobtube is when you watch a noob playing, when you are not in the game( looking trough killcam or spectator) thats what i mend with noobtube, can you make a video cause everybody uses it the wrong way ( i just blurred the word out when i was playing on cod and just saw a video on youTUBE)
Word request “Ouija” as in “Ouija Board”
Where did that word originate? Anybody ever mess with one? I did and never will ever again!!!! Bad bad bad things happened
Nightmares are nothing compared to real paranormal activity while you are awake
My worst nightmare was one of my former boyfriends, before I met the guy of my (happy) dreams
Worst nightmare is getting caught doing some hanky panky with the secretary at work.
I almost didn’t recognize you KB.
a koala isn’t a bear.
But it bears offspring.
that comment is barely related to this issue.
I personaly never remember my dreams, weird really, I can walk all day knowing I had a dream, but not remembering a thing out of it…
Also about Succubus (I love mythology) they don’t always aim to steal a mans vitality, they sometimes do it to get impregnated in order to give birth to some nasty demonic creatures.
And a favored thing of them to do was to seduce monks sworn to celebacy (sp) and in so doing lure God’s trusted servant into lust and hell.
Also i’m still hoping you will do the word Quack, fake Doc, and hopefully I still have the Captaons vote on that word =P
Best Wishes, Ath, The Mythologic Swede ~_^
i thought a quack was rather a bad doc, not a fake one?
I’d say that a Quack is a fake/phony/ba/unlicensed Doc, so yeah youre right =P
too bad they can’t reproduce with those semens…(succubus steals semen)
About a months ago I had an urge to write poetry. I went to a park and was watching people around me doing what people do at parks. I wrote 3 pages of my thoughts and observations on a little note pad I had with me. I don’t know how to write poetry, but would like to learn some basics. What I want to know is if anyone has any recommendations on how I should go about this?
__/)___*__
Making observations is a good start, remember poetry DOES NOT need to rhyme. Good poetry comes from the heart. If you like what you start stick with it. Don’t change it for oher people.
Good luck with this adventure. Happy birthday once again. Hope you wern’t offended by the post I did on your T.A. page.
Great advice. On thing my high school art teacher said its better to only learn basics to get started in making art, so one doesn’t get boxed in with all the rules of advanced art. Rules tend to box in creativity.
Offended? Never! The glass is half full. I only question is why wasn’t 51% full?
I really don’t have any recommendations but I CAN tell you I love this
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYaawjjo1xY 
can’t go wrong with the Doors
pagedolls, said “I CAN” or how about this “http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mj6QqCH7g0Q”
not me personally
I still love watching that fantastic video!
It appears that many songs are poetry brought to music. Or am I wrong in this observation?
Thats an excellent song
There are so many ways to learn how to write poetry but Kenneth Koch has some poetry books that can be helpful. You can hand out at poetry readings and with poets but they can muddle up your creativity as much as inspire it so you need to find a way to be yourself and not let anyone pull you away from that. At the same time, constructive criticism is a good thing. I used to be part of a poetry workshop until my ferret got out of its cage and upset a couple of members and stained one of my walls with coffee when one person screamed and flung the coffee all over the place. Maybe you could turn this comment into a poem
ferret, ferret, burning bright…?
Lol! If you only knew….that thing caused more mischief and our cat hated it.
My high school photography teacher mention the same thing when I would look at other professional photographers. He told me not to duplicate what they where doing but just shoot photos that where of interest for me not to worry about what others would think. With that and shooting odd number of object as appose to even numbered ones, my pictures gave me straight “A”s.
captain jack you said i don’t know how to write poetry don’t say that just let go and write it you cant learn it its a gift you just have to let it out you got it
I see people running to the edges of the earth like lemmings jumping over the cliffs. I feel I should say something to stop them from their futile leaps to death. As I speak, my words fall into deaf ears. I’m thinking maybe poetry might be one way of getting the word out. At the very least maybe it might be fun to write and the heck with all the damn lemming of the earth.
good one captain jack
Post won’t post–I’ll try again.
Hey Jack , what a cool question. I was a poetry major and studied under some world class poets. There is so much you can do with poetry & some things you shouldn’t—at first concentrate on what you can do and just write. Poetry is really condensed prose, the imagery, thoughts, tell a story (or communicate something) but use fewer & more selective words. The strongest poems generally focus on one or two moments in time, one or two images, one or two themes. They aren’t riddles but more open images based on your experiences. Take your day in the park that’s a poem waiting to happen: what did you see, feel, think, experience, recollect. Make it come alive: Here it began/Running for the shelter of that Sycamore there/the touch of your wet Auburn hair in my hands/and your tongue tasting like watermelon.
Poems still have conflict but for imagery use what you see: As the young boy climbs the slide’s ladder/and struggles to hold up his pants/Someday, he’ll have bigger problems/like watching you work later & later/with the new “team” from Ohio always/the same white car and your lips tasting like wine. Silly quick examples of my thinking about what you could have experienced in the park. But what DID you experience? Use (write about) all of your senses. Anyways, you wanted tips on how to go forward not examples. So, read poetry and find what you think works. Find a poetry workshop. Junior colleges are great, but there are many out there. In short, read poetry, write & find some forum/workshop and I hope any of this helps.
ps Had to split this in two to post for it to work?
probably a limit to the number of characters in a post/reply – these are supposed to be comments, not essays. that’s NOT a criticism, just an explanation. i applaud your effort to help CJ & I applaud CJ for expanding his literary efforts.

Hi, OK4Now,
The reason camels are known as “ship of the desert” is because they don’t have the same gait as horses (or most other quadrupeds, for that matter). The difference is that a horse advances its left front leg and its right hind leg (opposite sides of its body, like most quadrupeds) almost simultaneously, then its right front leg and its left hind leg advance. The front and hind legs from opposite sides tend to work in unison, then alternate to the other two to keep its balance (and therefore the rider’s weight as well) fairly steady in a straight-line arrangement resulting in a relatively smooth, forward-flowing motion. Same thing is true with cats, dogs, etc. and it’s fairly easy to see if you watch them walk or run in slow motion.
Camels, on the other hand, advance both the right front and the right hind foot (both on the same side of the body instead of opposite sides of the body) more or less simultaneously, then alternates to the other side, causing the rider to sway widely from side to side as it walks on both right feet, then both left feet in its natural gait. It feels like a ship listing from one side to the other side on the waves, and takes some getting used to, according to my understanding of it. I’ve never ridden one, but I have done some horseback riding. Hope that helps!
Have a great day.
okay4now, Thank you for the lesson. If you condense proses in to poetry, then are you watering down the effectiveness of the point or thought your trying to communicate?
PT9, This video from Boston Dynamics might sever as a good example of robot walking like most quadrupeds. You can see the opposite legs move to each step.
Boston Dynamics Big Dog
I have ridden a very smelly camel. Yes they do sway! The humps are great for hanging on!
Well done on TA CJ!!
Captainjack,
It’s very rare to write poetry for profit, but it’s a nice exercise as long as you enjoy it. For example, my “nightmare” yesterday might have been like this:
Good luck with your poetry! okay4now gave you great advice, and all that I can add is to have fun with it.
I looked at my monitor and what did I see?
Three beautiful Marinas looking back at me.
They wore a tiny top and bottom in Aqua Blue.
No doubt thay wore pretty matching shoes.
This well could be a dream of fun,
but even I knew it could only be with one.
So in my dream, I got two to leave
for food from the Blu Jam to retrieve.
I got my one Marina so warm and comfy,
I didn’t know the two would be back in a jiffy.
They drove in a speedy Audi R8
They got warm food and wouldn’t be late.
Before I could get Marina One to kiss,
They were back to spoil all my bliss.
Their beautiful voices were so good to hear
but my beautiful dream became a cruel nightmare.
Have fun, and just keep trying!

Nice…
Have you seen this young girl
reading poetry, Jack?
Wow that was amazing. Her delivery and smile made all the difference.
The Ode of Captain Jack
I told some people of a friend named Jack
Who lived on board a 60 ft Yacht
That he was a scholar at the art of teaching
He turned people into Captains and seaman
He loved the sea and made it his life
He would even put off at getting a wife
But then one day came a pretty young lass
Now he looks upon her as a part of her class
She would teach him words that he never new
So now there friends until a meeting comes true
The End
…. Dude! You left me speechless. I’m stealing your poem and posting it on my blog.
Wow!
capman911 you are amazing!
That is great and I’m copying it too.
Well, Jack this is really long but if you’re ever up for it it does not get much better http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=X6WQAQkV7OQ
Thanks for the link. Got any more?
okay4now,
Yes, I subscribed to the new link too.
Thank you
I’d like to read some of your stuff CaptainJack.
I’ll post some stuff when I get some time to write it.
It will be my first ever poem/prose. I hope it will speak to people as Capman’s poem captured my thoughts. 
Warren,
Yeah, I have more & again long, but Louise Gluck conducting a study workshop is like having one of the aposels teach bible study.

Where does the saying “Cute as a Button” come from, and what does it even mean? I personally do not think buttons are especially cute, so why is this considered a compliment?
Dear Marina
I got done watching the ‘tit’ lesson. If they are so good why do we say, when things go bad or wron, we say it went ‘tits up’?
also i noticed a recent post and I want to know who is uncle bob(bob’s you uncle).
and where did we get the term heeb-geeb’s(???spelling)
sorry I know spelling is one of you pet peevs (see recent request).

I can’t remember any nightmares of late, but when I was a kid I had a terrible recurring nightmare. I’d be riding in a glass elevator that traveled along the outside of the building and it would suddenly stop. Then the would fall out and I’d grab on to a railing, but I slip and fall, waking up before I hit the ground. To this day, I can barely climb a ladder without slightly freaking out.
Hey Marina!
I actually made a word request as a video response but you didnt allow it
lol thats ok though, I was wondering why a grandfather clock is called a grandfather clock, and why when the time is on the wall its a clock, however when its on your wrist, its a watch. Hmmmm….
Hey! That’s quite good!
I like it, a lot!
Gold star for that idea.

I had a nightmare last night.
I dreamt that while i was sleeping, my mum let enter a couple of friends in my apartment, so when i awoke i found them in the living room and i realised they discovered my big secret which was lying on a paper. I was so lost and felt ashamed, plus they made jokes at me.
Horrible! Imagine that : they discovered that my big secret is… Wait a minute, I can’t tell you that !!
it really must be a big secret…
I mean, you’ve only just told us you know how it’s like to wet your bed.
I’m thinking you’ve done that as a kid, it’s all normal now right?
You can tell us anything, no one will make fun of you! If anyone does, I’ll make smoke come out of his PC! And the Capt. can ban him forever from the site.
So, your pretty much safe here…
Dear Marina, For about a week, you wouldn’t send us a kiss, or ask us to rate your video, and this time, you finally, after all these days, sent a kiss!
I rated your video five stars!
My most recent nightmare was when I found myself with not one nor two, but three Marinas! They were all very beautiful, with wonderful hair and they were wearing these tiny, aqua blue mini shorts and tops. So naturally, I diverted two of them, by sending them on fool’s errand to get take-out food from the Blu Jam Cafe. This way, I could get friendly with my remaining Marina, by stroking and grooming her wonderful hair, gently massaging her beautiful shoulders and keeping her very warm and comfortable. Just as I was getting ready to provide my Marina with an “all-over” gentle massage, the other two Marinas came back, with four servings of food! “This me-ans it’s time to eat”, they said. Before I could ask, “How can you think of food at a time like this?”, my warmed-up Marina got up and said “Yes, I have a big appetite, now.” The other Marinas said, “Blu Jam Cafe me-ans the very best food.” So my nightmare was to be with three beautiful Marinas, and we were all eating a meal! They all talked in their beautiful voices and wonderful accents, and the food was excellent, but I still woke up from the dream very, very hungry…
Your dear student, seesix CM6
i know some cool porn sites. interested?
Not at all interested. A real relationship is millions of times better than porn sites.
I just got a hit from a Kristy from a porno site on my IM wanting me join and watch her.
he’s not interested in porn, just real relationships. but he’s posting on a website about some lame contrived soft core dream he had about a woman he’ll never physically meet let alone really knows anything about. ok… there’s a real relationship for you. har har
Buzzward, let’s see posts from you that aren’t lame and contrived. Tell us about the many, great relationships you have. A constructive approach would be better than your derisive one.
OMG!
3 Marinas and you didn’t ask for a word ?
hahahaha…excellent!…
Word, word, word…who’s got the word?…
The word is date
.
My dream of dating Marina had become a nightmare.
um… that was creepy.
Sadly, nightmares are like that!
Well,I’ve had it.The last 5 or so vids here won’t work for Me and I can’t fix it.
These may be in high definition. Some computers want run them in HD. Get up with Captain Jack and explain your problem. He has control over her computer too. He might can help you with your problem. Don’t give in there has to be a fix for your problem.
Mike
Doh! I think I may have misread what he was saying.
(see below). He might just need a codecs upgrade?
Cap, No I do not have any controls over her computers. All I can do is post to her website and view comments. Nothing special.
Nothing special????
You get your own page!
Get to pick your own color!
And, you do “humble” real good!
I think that’s special.
melikadothechacha,
I didn’t pick the color but if I had I would have picked that color anyways.
Yea I did get my own page.
I am just a simple servant helping a successful star become brighter than ever before.
Oh man, sorry to hear that, but
I think you ought to give her
another chance. I’ve been away
this week so I have missed your
comments before this.
Was there a particular word request
you’re looking for?
Out of 200+ videos, there should
be SOMETHING to hold your interest…
Don’t let the last 5 get you down. Hm’kay?
Could be Cha Cha I know she is running in HD now.
tryant, Are you able to watch her videos off of YouTube servers?
Sorry about the miss information. But I hope you can help them.
Ahoy there Captain Jack,
Thanks for the cool robotic vid! LMAO at the slippery ice part, but I have to admit it’s truly incredible how they programmed it to compensate in real time for tilt angle, unevenness, slips, and hill slope. Very cool! I want one! With what did it say, a 340-lb. payload? I’d name it “Sherpa” and use it to haul the cooler AND the canoe down to the water! Awesome!
Tryant, Do you have any chat/IM software like iChat, AOL/AIM, Yahoo Messenger, etc.? I can contact you on one of them.
Well Cap,I tried chemikals idea and installed firefox browser cause I had it on other PCs and it worked well enough.Not this time tho dammmitallanyway. When I click the vid from hotforwords home site it says “additional plugins needed”.I’ve been to Adobe and updated to the newest player twice but still get the same crap,tried restarting both firefox and the laptop,,the *new* laptop that is!! I’m about ready to see if it makes a good friggin frisbee! I could take aim at the concrete wellhouse! grrrrr.
It sure seems that the only place I have any probs is here at Marinas site and only with the vids,,wich,of course,is the **best** part!,,along with the most entertaining and informative dialog from all You Folks too of course!.
I often check both Microsoft and HP for updates but maybe a new one snuck past Me,gonna go see about that now. I’ve had PCs for some years now but might never be too good at the programming crap. TY All.
Hi tryant
I have a similar problem on my laptop, but my desktop pc is ok.
The vids don’t work on my laptop with firefox 2.x, but are ok on my desktop pc using firefox 3 or IE.
I had to put Firefox 3 on my sons laptop to run videos from utube and this site. I had to install flash player after the firefox install. It works great now he has a HP with windows Home Priemum. But he loves firefox 3.0 now.
You know I have the same problem and it’s only recently. I can watch all of the videos but I can’t download a video on my laptop anymore, only with my pc. What’s behind this?
Change browsers, it’s that easy, I promise!
get flock! You’ll love it.
My best friend last night told me he was using flock on his mac. He mentioned he really like it. I might have to go check it out.
it doesn’t flock things up?…
Flock is a part of Mozilla.
capman911, Flock has the same platform as Firefox. But it’s not Mozilla Flock! It’s also somehow linked to Netscape, because Netscape 8 asked me if I wanted to upgrade to Flock.
*the social web browser*
hi,
with firefox you should be able to only click on the “plugin missing” thing and it should automatically detect, and give you the opportunity to download, the missing plugin.
in your case, it seems, it’s the flash player plugin that’s missing.
