  1. Second time and last that I say this.

    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.

    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

  4. MtnDood says: 125

    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…

  5. mallet37 says: 124

    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

  7. hexereii says: 122

    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.

  8. paulhenry says: 121

    Oh, hahahaha…
    Aaah, Marina, your acting style is soooo funny! Encore!!!

  9. cpe says: 120

    I was bit by a vampire

  10. big ed says: 118

    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…

  11. 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.

  12. wonkerine says: 116

    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.

  13. 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!

  14. 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?

  15. stokesjrj1 says: 113

    Its just an excuse for a little infidelity. just joking :neutral: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JgQCiNpmdrk

  16. muggins says: 112

    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.

  18. protac6 says: 110

    God your personality is bangin’. I don’t really like talking about nightmares. :cry: But what was your nightmare about Marina? (You lost your brain?)

  19. 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! :wink:

    Marina, please do feel free at anytime to visit me in my sleep :cool:

    Be Affraid, very affraid :smile:

  20. 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 :smile:

        Be well

  21. 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… :smile: anyway MARINO4KA one of my worst nightmares is not seeing you anymore!

  22. animalntaz says: 106

    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. :twisted:

  23. vladdycat says: 105

    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?

  24. dmranger says: 104

  26. franknitti says: 102

    Hi, from Ukraine!! And thank you for intresting videos about different words!!!

  27. 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.

  28. mccully95 says: 99

    What is the origin of the word “gay”?

  29. mrchex says: 98

    worse nightmare… long time ago. the world ended.

  30. brettbread says: 97

    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

  31. 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!

  32. stokesjrj1 says: 95

    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.

  33. capman911 says: 94

    Hey guys new video is up and it is hot. :wink:

  34. yoshimar says: 92

  35. emeraldien says: 91

    Nice video! I didn’t know the meaning of both words!I would also like more thing for the word element.

  36. mikkimvodka says: 90

    my worst nightmare is waking up covered with bugs…!! :shock:

    what is the difference between “discover” and “uncover”? thanks!!!

  37. Hey Marina… i was wondering if its just a coincidence that the words live and lived spellt backwards means evil :evil: and devil or there is something else behind :?:

  38. 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. :smile: 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. :grin:

  39. CaptainJack says: 87

    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. :shock: 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! :shock: 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 :mrgreen:

  40. 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?

  41. Very good site! Why don’t you investigate for “Monkey Business?” Thanks!

  42. buzzword says: 84

    aLx, anybody remember the 92′ olympics dream team? made basketball the worlds #2 sport.

  43. James says: 83

    rrr & chacha are back :?: :?: :?: :!: :!: :!: YAY

  44. James says: 82

    Marina I love how you say banned!! Please investigate banned

  45. beantownjim says: 81

    Wish i was there to hold your hand after you had that nighmare lol :mrgreen:

  46. j_dog19v says: 80

    any way i am form Trinidad, that’s is in the Caribbean. Has i love your show you do suck a great job i really evjoy your show

  47. j_dog19v says: 79

    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 :twisted: worst nightmare

  48. 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.

  49. prospero811 says: 77

    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

  50. aLx says: 76

    this whole nightmare thing really sucks.

  51. 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. :lol: However, I will have to just be honest :wink:

    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.

  52. 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

  53. jcr says: 73

    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!

  54. 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

  55. buzzword says: 71

    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.

  56. markcotrupe says: 68

    I was wondering about the expression used in the game “tag”, where we say “you’re it!” “it, what?”

  57. tihk89 says: 66

    the longest English word consisting only of vowels: euouae. Origin (and meaning :wink: ) of that, please :!:

  58. mlady says: 65

    I have a word request. I want to know how “discrete” and “discreet” can mean different things, yet sound the same.

  59. zank says: 64

    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?

  60. bobsully says: 62

    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. :smile:

  61. kaibanator says: 61

    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 :lol:

  62. antinomy says: 60

    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???

  63. suprstock says: 59

    My worst nightmare was about , having the sex with a fat girl… :shock:

  64. masco82 says: 58

    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

  65. orion_ss1 says: 57

    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.

  66. nadimboy says: 56

    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

  67. Bob says: 55

    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.

  68. the shaun says: 54

    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)

  69. I requested the word Succubus here at your website; why didn’t I get credit as a requester? : (

  70. sagabmx says: 52

    I have a new word :D
    Gibberish! :D

  71. 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?

  72. Chemikal says: 50

    Marina, what was your nightmare?!

  73. Chemikal says: 49

    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. :mrgreen:

  74. marina good video 5* :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: 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

  75. labbatt78 says: 46

    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. :oops:

  76. 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?

  77. bustaboi says: 44

    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!!!!!

    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…. :twisted:

    • Have you ever had Deja Vu? :mrgreen:
      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… :roll:

      • 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)

    Word request “Ouija” as in “Ouija Board” :shock:

    Where did that word originate? Anybody ever mess with one? I did and never will ever again!!!! Bad bad bad things happened :evil:

    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 :grin:

    Worst nightmare is getting caught doing some hanky panky with the secretary at work. :grin:

  83. athoorth says: 38

    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 ~_^

    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?

    • pagedoll says: 37.2

      I really don’t have any recommendations but I CAN tell you I love this :arrow: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYaawjjo1xY :smile:

    • pagedolls, said “I CAN” or how about this “http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mj6QqCH7g0Q”

    • jcr says: 37.4

      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 :wink:

    • 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

    • okay4now says: 37.6

      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.

        I have ridden a very smelly camel. Yes they do sway! The humps are great for hanging on!

      Well done on TA CJ!!

    • seesixcm6 says: 37.8

      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. :-(

      Have fun, and just keep trying!

      reading poetry, Jack?

    • 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

    nightmares are rare, but, that time you told about controlling cats and it was a bad thing :sad:

  86. 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?

  87. Dear Marina :grin:

    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. :sad:

    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….

    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 !! :shock: :shock:

    • Chemikal says: 26.1

      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? :D
      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.

    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
