Probably not doing it for the money… maybe he just enjoys your company (and your sexiness).
Walk or take the train
As I work mainly from home, I have know need for a car presently. I enjoy cycling to keep fit as with seeing friends and family. If I need to get someplace quickly I will call up Ronnie the Terbonater taxi man who is most reliable. Also have good train network to London, 25mins or less. All being said, thinking of buying a new car soon as I love driving the B roads so a sports mid engine will be the go. Love to kick the back end out when PC Plod isn’t about
Sometimes, though, I DO not save gas. Today, I drove 95 miles round trip to Mt. Charleston so that I could escape the 100+ F heat in the Las Vegas Valley by hiking the Bristlecone Trail, which is a 6.1-mile loop trail between 8700 and 9400 feet altitude. I figured it would be 75 F or 80 F up there. And sunny! Boy, was I wrong! It began to get windy. The wind brought in a cold chill from the black clouds that were piggybacking the Spring Mountain peaks. Then it began to rain. Then it began to hail. And thunder! I was already a couple of miles into the trail, and standing under ponderosa pines with lightning possibly afoot didn’t seem wise. So I bucked up and walked and walked, the raindrops smearing my vision through the pair of glasses i wear, the hailstones bouncing like popcorn off my head. I got drenched, and then I got even wetter… But I finished the trail in just 2 hours and 20 minutes. Why did I tell this story? Oh, yeah. I used about 5 gallons of gas so that I could fight off rain, wind, hail, and chill. Now I’m back in my little humble abode. And it’s hot and sunny. I miss those wonderful little hikes. I’m off to the gas station…..
I’m trying to be a lot less feisty. That saves gas.
Your comment to me on the Leeches video.
Your right Lividemerald. More furnishing catering toward the feminine side would maybe help by getting some more ladies to join the site. It would also help if their comments wouldn’t be chided by the other members who disagree. I can see disagreeing with someone, but make sure you do it proper that the person does not feel offended by the other persons comment. I have seen at least 4 females leave because of comments that they had made and it didn’t suit someone so they were picked on for it. I think a little more kindness would help on every ones part. Discussions are creative thinking and people learn from them, but if a person feels like they are going to be ridiculed by each comment they make then they will leave. Sorry t take up so much of your time, but thanks for listening.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QmqpGZv0YT4&NR=1 Here’s another one, Marina, you might just want to pick one up sometime.
That is fantastic! I just wish these cars weren’t so dang ugly!
I wonder how the gov. will tax the air?
I’m lookin’ up how to make a water-car and am going to make one so I don’t have to pay for gas, but that I can go fetch some water and put it in my car and drive that way. No, no, that won’t do. I’m actually thinking of getting an air-car that runs solely on air. Like this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BcCyEKYwTos check that out, Marina.
Sincerely innovative,
Shawn M. Norris
hello im a new subscriber and really need help for this word “suffocate”
thankyou.
Hello Marina!
)
When I look at your videos, I wonder why nobody asked you about marriage so far…
Dirk
For short trips to the store I walk but for longer trips I ride my Quarter Horse Fritz!
someone has probably already said this but, you can get a piggyback ride from me any day Marina
Well shiver me timbers! sounds like horse feathers to me…..
I want to know why they call the viewing of a dead body before a funeral the “wake” The person is dead not awake! What the hell? Thanks
The video is at 26 at the moment but at 24 has 40,613 views. Do you thin k the new vid may be up before midnight?? GMT
And i have another request: where does the word “Robot” come from and what does it means
Thanks
Hey Marina… i was wondering
what is the different off a beer and a lager..
Thanks Marina.
the word: Rainbow
the phrase: what goes around comes around
Thats a good one… i wanna know too
Interesting combination of requests there, chelsea.
Do you know why people are always looking for the end of the rainbow but never find it?
When you see a rainbow from an aeroplane or a helicopter you realise that they form a complete circle, so they never have an end.
You could say that, what comes around and goes around is a rainbow.
Marina, glad to see you’re saving gas! Sorry, but I don’t worry about the gas prices, so I’m not doing anything. I have a request: how did the phrase “I don’t cotton to that” come about? Since cotton is a plant and a fiber used in clothes, I don’t see how “I don’t plant/fiber” that” makes any sense, do you?
Sorry Folks,I tend to revert to My teen years on occasion.
Piggyback has another usage.. For when you go outside someones house and use an unsecured broadband connection. I did it once when i was on holiday to go on hfw.com
Oh dear, poor george bush http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w0GPtOivFMY&feature=related
Jimmy ,
When you make your videos do you make mistakes or gaffs?
Try making your videos in front of Millions of people that are praying for the smallest mistake. And have the fate of the entire World rests on each word and facial tick.
No Pressure?
Of course I make mistakes.. I add them in at the end then laugh at them
Does anyone know what marina does for a job? I cant see how studying words all day can make any money?
James, try googling for making money on the internet.
Oh…
you mean like clicking on e mails everyday day:P that has earned me somewhere arround 50 euro’s
in like uuh.. 4 years 
25 million web sites for you to read.
Bob, Thanks for that. Will give me something to read while I wait for the next video.
James.. I am a philologist.. and my videos have been seen over 90 million times on the Internet. over half a million to a million times each day. When you watch those videos you may notice something to the right side of each video on YouTube and on YouTube you may also notice something that appears along the bottom of each video about 10-15 seconds in.
It is the same business model that we have in the United States for something called Commercial Television. I think you have some versions of commercial television in the UK? How do those television networks survive and pay their bills? (I’m not talking about the government subsidized networks, btw)
I see now..
I think you should have a donate button, that is either a choice. Or that anyone who give your video less than 5 stars should be forced to pay at least $1000 for, That way you can have as many audi r8s as you like!
James – You don’t get it……
James,
, anyONE else can be sent to:
She does have a donate button.

That was a very nice video.
Piggy Back to Star Bucks. 
(Hope it’s not one that’s closed)
Gonna be more than a couple of bucks. 
From your clues yesterday I was totally baffled as to the “Pick a Pack” connection.
Like the starfish and the can of spam and riding the pig’s back. Great illusions.
The opening picture really looks like your choking Kobe,
But Oh My, Marina is becoming an elitist.
At least let the neighbor break out a rickshaw.
Even the ancients had multiple folks carrying around in the chair.
Oh, I get it, your economizing on the neighbor power.
And what about the rest of us who can’t detruncus the real trunk cause we ate your whole birthday cake?
To save gas I’m doing a couple of things besides complaining.
I ride a motorcycle whenever the weather permits.
And I building and experimenting with the water car and HHO.
The technology is real, you really can run a car using water as a fuel.
I was wondering when?
I’m not saving gas, I am using as much of it as I can before we run out! Why save fuel? When it is gone then there will be no more polution. All you are doing is prolonging the polution. Besides with all the global warming it causes, it will open up new places to drill for oil when all thoses usless glaciers, are gone. I bet the north pole is hiding lots of oil, and then the oil drillers can have a nice climate to work in. With global warming we won’t be cutting down as many trees for fire wood, and will be using less fuel in general for warming us up in the winter. Remember that the northern most part of the hemesphere was once a tropical area. So it will be again, thanks to us gas burners!! Hooray for us!! We are the real heros!
Completely agree !
geronimo For President!!
I know I spelled pollution wrong and said “thoses”. Oh well
Now thats the best solution I have seen yet.
Oversimplification of the perceived positive(?) effects of our corporate addiction to oil is great since we’re the only species on the planet. After all, who needs all those pesky other plants and animals anyway? We’re the only ones that matter because we can REASON and God is on our side. Rest assured there’ll still be plenty of wildlife as far as those nuisance species that thrive on human civilization are concerned: rats, crows, ants, fleas, lice, cockroaches, and mice (among other pests).
Wow, you really must tell all the scientists your great discovery before they succeed in arresting the galloping climate changes!
Then I woke up.
I have a Natural Science degree, and a degree in Environmental Conservation (with honors), so I have actually studied some of this stuff and a couple clues have been offered me. Here they are: the effects of warming will include massive climate and weather-pattern changes such as droughts and desertification in areas which are now well-watered, as well as huge die-offs of major stands of forests (for just one example, trees can’t migrate, so when the environment changes even a little, they’ll no longer be within their natural comfort/rainfall/temperature range and thus become weakened and far more susceptible to pest invasions and virulent diseases) taking with them all the wildlife that are so well-adapted to live among them. The loss of forests will forever change the transpiration balance that affects humidity and rainfall levels planet-wide. Flooding, erosion, dust storms, hurricanes, and tornadoes will multiply exponentially, and (this is the BIG what-if—–>) there will be changes in the thermohaline subsurface ocean currents, of which we really have NO idea what will ultimately be the result. We can look back into the geologic and paleontologic records to see what these changes brought in the distant past, but that only gives us the tip of the proverbial iceberg. In fact, there has never been such a rapid rise in the amount of greenhouse gases as there is currently. The fuse is lit; some of us are trying to put it out before it reaches the bomb, but most of us just stand back and watch because we “can’t afford it” or “don’t want to get involved.” Global ice age or global desert, which is better? That’s where it’s heading, toward one of those two and we won’t know which until we get there. I kind of like it in between, where we are now. Don’t be duped. These are the good old days, my friends. Remember them well, because they won’t be back.
Sorry to be such a downer. But science isn’t just about a bunch of liberal treehuggers. The planet is choking on our fumes, and it’s getting ready to get way uncomfortable on our asses because of it. If I didn’t care about my friends, why would I waste my time telling you all this?
30 years ago the scientist were scaring everyone with global freezing, now it’s warming. I will never believe that humans have the ability to warm or cool the earth and only time will prove me right. Remember the ozone crisis? How about Y2K? More brilliant scientist hard at work. The minuscule rise in temperature in the last 100 years has not been caused by humans. Even one of the founding global warming scientist who came up with the whole global warming recently admitted that the test they have been conducting is showing that they may have to rethink the belief of human cause. The world has it’s problems I don’t believe in intentionally ruining it, but this warming trend is completely beyond our ability to change since we are not the cause. I know you think this is a fact and I am an idiot, but everyone said the same to me when I laughed at them for the other previous mentioned hoaxes. I hope you know I was just making a joke in my comment that you responded to. But, on the other hand don’t be taken in so easily. Look up the global freezing scare of the 70’s.
No need. It was based on the discovery that the timing of past ice ages have followed a regular 11,000-year cycle that had to do with Earth’s axis being tilted 23 degrees and the “wobble” it occasionally experiences during the course of its travel through its orbit. And that we were overdue for the next one. That doesn’t mean the next one is imminent, just that there was a pattern. I’ve spent too long in school studying my ass (okay, my arse) off to discount it all as hoax. Believe whatever you want. It won’t make any difference to the truth. Y2K? Bacon over the trail. The ozone “scare” resulted in much higher incidence of skin cancer (ask any Australian oncologist) and a huge rise in the sale of sunscreen. I’ll be willing to bet those with skin cancer don’t think it was a hoax.
Bottom line is that the 35 years that have elapsed since the 70s were but a microsecond in global time and what happens in our piddly lifespans won’t prove you or me right (one can only hope), but just give us plenty more opportunities to argue. I, for one, prefer to agree to disagree with you on this one because I like interacting with you and all the others here at HFW. So I’ll let it lie and allow time to pass. One thing I can guarantee: our grandchildren will know who was right by the time they get to be our age. Meantime, we’re way off subject! Thanks for your well-thought-out responses, geronimo. It’s good to know you’re using your analytical powers to do some critical thinking on this subject, regardless of how I might view your conclusions. Now back to work. There’s a lesson I have to watch.
Peace and safe journeys, my friend. Trust me, I hope I’m wrong about all this.
I read an article that stated that not only does the Northwest Passage open up a couple of months every year now, but that in the near future, nearer than previously thought possible, the Arctic Ocean will be ice-free. As for me, I’m not worried about global warming. it’s already 115 F in Las Vegas, so I say, “Bring it on!”
I do not know what I am doing to save on gas.
Upset. A term used to deescribe an underdog that defeats a winner. Man O’ War only lost one race to a horse named Upset. Since then the term Upset has been used whenever an underdog defeats a winner. Which brings up my next word, underdog??
Hi Marina,
What have I been doing to save on gas? hmmm?
I told my neighbors that I am following some ancient Native American values. My uncle was up visiting the “Natives” in Bella Bella, near Bella Coola, which is in the Haida area of the British Columbia coastline of western Canada. They state, “Indian’s don’t cut grass!” Kinda saying it’s another “dumb whiteman thing”. That said, I can no longer see or use my gas lawnmower since the grass is so high it somehow “disappeared”.
The other thing I started doing to save on gas was stop eating cans of cold beans… along with the three cloves of garlic, 4 boiled eggs, two cups of sauerkraut and a 6-pack of beer. I used to do this late at night before I went to bed.
I got myself a 4 foot long Mexican credit card from a website called…
gaspricessucksosuckthis.com. They claim that if you dip one end into richcar’s gas tank and suck hard you become Jose Hood… the Spanish robin hood. Quite a marvel idea. It’s a handy hose to siphon gas with no strings attached.
Cheers!

Way cool! Where can I get one!
Hope he gets the patents done
so we can see the technology.
Can you imagine how the government will tax water and then make it illegal for people to gather water from natural resources? Seems stupid but there is no way they will give up all the tax revenue they get from gas.
Chacha do you have a YT account? Maybe I have already added you or not. I forget, it’s the old age see
Our state was talking about puting meters on peoples private water wells to help conserve water usage.
Slowly but surely all governments get out of control.
That technology has been around for years.
The biggest problem is the sum gain is not there.
It takes to much energy to produce bhp.
Marina, I am making a video about spoonerisms and one of them ends up in me swearing.. Can I please use the you saying “james, with that language you are staying after school for detention” at the end of the video. I will do the editing now and depending on what you say I shall use it or not. Thanks
James

Also. I only film with my phone. You camera looks great! what is it called?
HwK: I haven’t driven a car (or ridden a ‘Hog’) since May 20th–all Metro & walking…
what does the word prosperity mean and where did it originate?
The Indoeuropean root *SPE- means more or less “fortune”.
PRO-SPE-R- means in Latin “leading to fortune”.
The root exists also in Slavic : SPE- “success, maturity”.
What’s the best movie speech from a pure wordsmith point of view? That is, placing more emphasis on the use of words as opposed to the pure potency of the oration.
For me it has to be the V Speech from V for Vendetta.

Thanks for the link
Oh mistress of all words great and holy, I beseech thee to enlighten this poor soul and explain to me what the origin is of the phrase by-and-by!

Hello,
when I seen you on fox news I was hooked. I made that statment on my profile and that got me thinking “hooked” I woundered where did that come from? any idea? John
Can’t answer that. Gone fishing!

That was scary…
Hey Marina! I have a question for you! It’s not really a Word orgin, but i was wondering where the symbols for Man and Woman came from. You know, the ones with a circle and a cross on the bottom for girls and a circle with an arrow on the top right for guys. I’d really love to know!!! Thanks!!
Yeah the server is back again.
Hello
Everyone must be asleep, but I bet kobe is awake and attacking his food bowl.
Kobe’s fast asleep.. I’m only half awake
Marina your fully awake
Yea the server went down about 4am. I wasn’t able to post anything. I could not find the rest button so I gave up and went to bed. I knew Marina would wake up and fix it.
James spent the time working
up a video about spoonerisms!
Guess it caught him around
midday… prime time for him.
Its here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYdZ-3R7sgo
I have a word request.. surprise
Actually the word is misspelled it’s hypermill as in hypermilling…..lol
Almost forgot; saving gas, I am keeping the ole jeep tuned up, slowing down, and learning to hypemill……………
I have a new word request; how about “wedgy” lol
Do you mean a “Melvin”?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEurK8VPVOM
It’s a long bit, but Melvin is covered
in the first two minutes
I save gas by staying home and watching hotforwords all day.
i’ll give piggyback rides for free
lol
I don’t drive hehe
just my mtb,I drive about 300-500 kilometers a week on that thing for free 
Marina ! Why did’nt you explain GULAG ? From GLAVNOIE UPRAVLiENIE LAGIERIEI “General Direction for Camps”. I know it’s difficult to translate it into English.
GOULAG is something like POLCAMP for “Political Camp”. It’s like FBI or CIA nothing more.
I doubt it’s like FBI or CIA, seriously.
Cody Banks was just a movie.
The magic of letters is big : Let’s say “I am working for the CDMI”, it’s more impressive that saying “I am working for the CENTRAL DEPARTEMENT FOR MODERN IDIOTS”
Is there anything you won’t do to get some coffee?
If Marina does a video on “1337 speak” I wonder what message she will have on have her tshirt?

Don’t start
Hi James
Translated it means “we love hot forwords”,
or do you mean something else?
I thought, that if Marina did a video on “hack” speak, she might encode a message like “subscribe” or “please rate my video” somewhere in the video.
It might stop people commenting on the state of her indoor plants.
But with marinas audience some probably may not be able to understand. It also seems pretty pointless to use symbols when you have letters, Google has a haxx0r version too! http://www.google.com/intl/xx-hacker/
darn it… i supposidly need to get laid
lol
Alx?
?
What will hack speak put some where in her videos have any affect on wheither people talk about her plants. People are just joking and kidding about them anyway. Just another way of passing time on her site or picking at her about her plants.
There are too many guys on this site. Marina is trying to reel in some gals by creating “The Sisterhood of the Traveling Plants.”
I’m driving an electric car, but I keep running out of extension cords every time I try to leave town.
GUYS,
Check out this video from the sultry Marina video phase.
I must say, I miss those videos. The New and Improved Marina is very good, but those videos are ((:twisted:)) good.
………..BEST OF MARINA……….
……………………
They are good. I miss ‘em.
Yup. I godda admit you’re right. She’s looking a little conservative these days.
I prefer the new Marina.
If intelligence is sexy, then you don’t have to dress like a rapper’s groupie to be sexy.
Marina’s personality is what makes her so engaging.
Hmm. I didn’t say it’s bad. You can be classy and sexy at the same time. She’s never looked like a rapper’s groupie in any of the videos that I’ve seen. But sexy does sell and she is “HotForWords”. That’s my point!
Hmmm, in my post above I said she was “engaging”; I’ve just watched the second O’Reilly show and I have to say she is not merely engaging, she is captivating, mesmerizing, enchanting and bewitching.
So vivacious.
I like her earlier works better, i don’t like the “golden girl” as well asa the earlier works.
Nice to hear that music, again
the “barking dogs” added to
the appeal. Marina had a
menagerie of graphic animals
“…that damn mouse…” LOL
Sorry Guys
I make a miserable Marina Groupie.
She is defiantly in my top 20 list though.
1. Ann Coulter
2. Michelle Malkin
3.Laura Ingraham
4. Martha MacCallum
5. Dr. Jennifer Ashton
6. Megyn Kelly
7. Julie Banderas
8. Pattie Ann Browne
9. Gretchen Carlson
10. E. D. Hill
11. Jane Skinner
No real order just as I thought of them.
You get the idea though. There are lots of
intelligent women out there in the world.
Really, I would not shit you!
When you said dr.jennifer ashton, I thought it said dr jennifer anniston I was puzzled by that for quite a while….
Intelligent
Don’t forget Paris Hilton. She knows word origins… Like…. Money… And RatDog… And spoiled…..and….. thats about it…
also, gratz for making the full screen option work on HFW website also!
woohoohoo! lolololol for a moment I thought Marina was wearing dippers, at 2:18 =))
Piggyback riding… kids… => Dippers! Hey, it could have happened, haha
I thought it was old lady panties. I ran it again just to see that they were shorts.
As a child growing up in Riverside Ca. we raised pigs and had two breeder pigs Henry and Hazel that weighed 500 pounds each. We use to ride them around like horses all around the farm. We used their ears like reigns and they didn’t seem to mind.
We rode goats G. They didn’t mind sometimes and sometimes they would butt us off. So we made a goat cart just like a buggy. harness one up to it and away we would go. Many things one can do on a farm to have fun. The funny thing about a male goat, he will stand and pee all over his own front legs. We ended up smelling the same way by the end of the day.
Good morning!
Marina,
11:09 pm Jul 31, the youtube/hotforwords page is messed up. Clicking the video name, in order to rate or comment, directs you to either youtube/user or back to youtube/hotforwords, not to the video (last night the link should have been youtube/watch?v=9hc1_GgKLRk, which I got to only from the Most Watched Video page) I don’t knwow the path now. If we can’t get there, we can’t rate you 5 stars. Last night was the same.

Same problem here
I save gas by bike riding but I use 1/4 of gas to go from my house to Indiana then back home almost every week.
Dear teacher,
What is the origin of the word TROJAN???…….as it is well known as TROJAN HORSE……n y is that called a VIRUS???
If you knew how the Trojan horse was used then you would have a good idea why a computer virus that sneaks in you computer in another program is called a Trojan virus.
I wonder why a Trojan condom isn’t shaped like a horse?
or why they would use Trojan for a condom name. Just by name alone wouldn’t it let in what you are trying to keep out???
In Greek mythology, the Trojan War was waged against the city of Troy by the Achaeans after Paris of Troy stole Helen from her husband Menelaus, the king of Sparta. (WIKKI)
It’s a great story, check it out.
Dear Marina, I wish there was a way for me to save on gas, but unfortunatly living in the middle of nowhere with no public transportations the only means of traveling for me is to takr the car *sigh*
And I also do a lot of driving at work, but atleast the company is paying for that hehehe.
Best wishes, Ath, I’ll see you in the rear-view mirror,
To save on gas—I’m eating less beans and cabbage.
“Bodkin”
I know it is a medieval word word for a sharp “needle” or “Knife” the word is used in many of Shakespeares plays describibng a knife. Perhaps the most famous being in the “To be or not to be” speech in Hamlet.
What I would like to know though is its root. I have only been able to find out that it possibly has ancient an Celtic root. Input PLEASE
To save on gas I do two things. (1) walk places and (2) take the bus and/or train. Since I started this in March I have had to purchase gas for my car twice where as before it was every two weeks.
Dear Marina, I’d give you a piggyback ride, and you’d even pay me a couple of dollars, too! I rated your videi five stars, as I did your appearance on the O’Reilly show. For your homework assignment, I drive much less, now. I make a shopping list before shopping to prevent additional trips for additional items. I walk more often, now, even though most shopping sites are far from my condo.
A few weeks ago, I said I was going to learn Russian by watching Boris and Natascha cartoons. I’ve actually spent more time trying to learn the Cyrillic alphabet. (I could say “It’s Greek to me.”) On your boards, this lead to a tangent about the moose and squirrel who were in the cartoons. So here are my first Russian words: “Moose and squirrel” are called: лоси и белка. I think that is pronounced “losee ee belka.” (No, I won’t translate some of the crude words I see on these boards.)
Your dear student, Seesixcm6
Dude? Do you have a link for the website?
I gotta start somewhere, sounds like you
have found a way to do that. If I don’t get
the alphabet phoenetics first, I’ll have a
hard time getting conversational.
Thanks for any help you can offer
melikadothechacha, Wow! I had to find the link, log in again, and find out how to link this site. They have 33 letters, with upper and lower case for 66. But wait, their handwritten letters are in different script, so you get to learn 132 symbols. This site has audio files with the sound of each letter: the link
Hope it works.
Cool! They even have
a toolbar to make it
easy! Thank you a lot!
I’m finding a lot of similarities to
German-Austrian phoenetics,
having the sound is helpful.
The handwritten cursives are
going to require some writing
to get down, but it’s going real
fast. Should be tackling the
first conversation shortly!
Then maybe I can offer Marina
a piggyback ride to the library
or the train station – LOL!
Thanks again!!!
Oh that you so much for the site. Now I can talk to Boris and Natasha and tell them to leave us alone
Get ready for website to die in 2 minutes! O’Reilly airing again!
Yeap it did crash. LOL.
Does your server provider offer scalable servers for days like this?
I missed your warning!!!! Thought it was trouble was on my end. So glad to have it back. I caught you O’Reilly spot. You looked great
What do you mean by “die”? ..and I was wondering what it means to “jailbreak” a ipod touch?…anyone anyone
Pagedoll, I have an iPod touch and Jailbreak means to free it from all the stuff apple puts on there allowing you to use it as you like.
I’v hacked mine and now it has a completly new interface with a Hotorwords theme
hehe
i have an ipod 5.5g not the ipod touch
What about “Knock on wood” i never did understand that one
Squeal magazine.
http://news.google.com/archivesearch?ie=UTF-8&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&q=Squeal+Magazine&as_ldate=1937&as_hdate=1937&um=1&scoring=t&sa=X&oi=archive&ct=title
I was never able to find anything about Squeal Magazine using Google.. it is mentioned in one of my books… the July 1937 issue.
I went through three or for pages before I found it. Makes up for not paying attention in class
What about “dime a dozen” When were someone says, girls are a dime a dozen. Where did that come from
Girls are not a dime a dozen. They’re more
like telephones. You have to hold them close.
You have to talk to them and listen. Be very
careful pushing any buttons – you can get
disconnected!
and you have to keep feeding them coins, or these days, credit cards.
WOW,
Maybe I missed it but, not one offer to be the piggy and haul Marina around town???
I could rent Her a horse. Maybe the horse and buggies days are on their way back.
Bill has a new “spot” in the works, no doubt. Marina’s piece went very well.
Time to grow a moustache! Save even MORE gas..

Dear Teacher:
Some of the activities car drivers are doing in and around Washington D.C. to save fuel costs.
1. Mounting huge electro magnets on front bumpers,
Don’t know where the drivers are getting the electrons.
Maybe they drive hybrids.
2. Many people are scrounging the streets carrying gas cans and houses, seems to be a politically balanced group. Some prefer cars with Obama stickers and others McCain. Cars with Hillary don’t seem to have the problem.
3. Some drivers are putting their transmissions in neutral and are getting pushed along by the following traffic.
4. Since congress is out of session the methane collectors have gone underground. They may have switched their operations to NASA headquarters.
5. NASA has placed an administrative request for a multi-billion dollar project to construct a flexible pipeline to Titan which will substitute for drilling in ANWAR or on the continental shelf. The word on the street has the project named ETMETRECL,(Et-met-tree-cal) for extraterrestrial methane reclamation. Sounds like a real big stinky government tax payer rip off.
Hey marina tell where the world slut came from
Wow! You sure know what to say
to get the attention of a beautiful
girl. Must piss off your boyfriends
something fierce!
Why your ass is burn off
I think any one can any ask any word as they want to
some one is of the using of the translatoring tool is no little doubting it
what you want
Damn it Chacha you’re going to get me in trouble .
I wrote and posted it out of habit.
Sorry there i-spy but you’re translation tool that is making you look funny. It’s not you OK?
I-spy what translating tool are you using? Your not making any sense.
Mr Captain Jack you remember how the ship Titanic sank
I will do the same with your Ship too
Its better if you stay out of this
Thank you
ha RRR
That made one comment at the laugh
Let’s try this again.
Are you a little boy?
a little girl?
or other?
Does your country have ANY women?
What century do you think this is?
Just because the lesson is piggyback
is not an invitiation for you to come
here and be a pig-thing?
Talk to Marina with respect,
or get none in return.
well you check it at your house see there if there is any woman or
and you mind in your own business.And stop giving me your philosophy.You are the one who need it most
Thank you
Has anyone seen my fire truck anywhere? I must have misplaced it.
Ok – insanity is the impossibilty of reason.
I propose a poll to the site. Please respond
to this individual and answer if you think
he is a clown or not. I will cast the first ballot.
Perhaps we(not you alx

A slut is a woman that will have sex with you for free.
(this is where I would have teased you, but not today)
Have a Very Goodilly Happy Day
I have proposed a poll to decide if
he is a clown, or not. He wants to play
but I don’t know if he is a man, a woman
or other – not worth the fight he wants.
So cast a ballot, or don’t, up to you.

I know what is the mean of this word
but I want to know where this word original came from
have a good day
You are a clown
Stop giving Philosophy
man relax I just asked. where this world came for that’s it
Chacha I had an arguement with someone using a translator once and they said “your female leader is a bitch” Thats odd. As the queen is not the leader, just the head of state…
Arguing with people is like this competing in the special Olympics. Win or lose your still retarded.

You are not helping your self at all.
The Titanic ran up on a large THICK chunk of ice.
Are you comparing your self to an Iceberg?
A big stupid chunk of frozen water, floating around bumping into other stuff.??
You should insult us in your 1st language. We can translate it .

i save on gas by eating fewer
Broccoli, brussels sprouts
Asparagus, carrots
Apricots, raisins
Cauliflower, radishes
Bananas, prunes
Sauerkraut
Pan fried or deep fried foods
Rich cream sauces and gravies
Eggplant
Bran, nuts, popcorn
Tuna
Cabbage, celery, cucumbers
Prune juice
Kohlrabi, rutabaga, turnips
otherwise, i’d stink up my posts…
annudder
I wonder if there’s a way to tap
that methane and convert it to
methanol. Use that to process
cooking oil into biodiesel and
glycerine byproduct. Nah!
Might interfere with the aroma
of the exhaust gases. Smell
like stinky doughnuts driving
down the road….
Eat all of that and run a pipe to you rectum the to a propane gas valve on the engine.
Whoa! What about backfire??? Ow!
Save gas?!?! Thats easy. I can go for a months without burning a drop indirectly. I bit my upper lip and donated my car. Ouch that hurt! I use the bus (Its like having a personal chauffeur and the buses have free Wi-Fi) Electric street car (train). If I need a car I can rent one from Enterprise Rentals. Or I can use http://www.zipcar.com/ $9 an hour at $50 a year. My favorite ride is a brand New Lincoln Town Car Signature 4-DR w/ personal chauffeur. Best thing about using Seattle Towncar Service, is its cheaper than a damn taxi cab. I will be buying a new Segway now that I heard the prices are lower. They went from about $7k to $5k. 20mile range on a single charge. I also like to use my feet. Yes they do work. People seem to forget about them. Last time I checked the get good gas mileage. I sometime like to take off the rubber tires and run them barefoot on a wet sandy beach. You know where the wet sand squishes between your toes. Now thats fun. The only thing that would top that is to have someone you can walk with.
I remember walking on the farm when I was little and have chicken shit squish up between my toes does that count.
I hear chicken poop is good for the gout.
I just over a bout of the gout. I wish I had some chicken akky
Not cool – avian born
diseases tend to be
incurable in humans!
I remember reading somewhere (can’t remember where) that mass transit, ie buses and trains, use more fule per person to take them from point A to point B than they would if they drove themselves.
No it wasn’t a pro use your car ad. I think it was in Pop sci. or discover mag.
I think that could be true. But I don’t believe anybody unless I see the results of their test. Even Marina has found faults in the History Channel. Seattle Metro purchased new Hybrid buses and they found out that they where not as fuel effect as the manufacture claimed.
Some places would be better off giving vouchers to the people who ride buses to take a taxi. Less polution, less wear an tear than on a big bus. I know here in Fayetteville NC that only a few ride buses ,but they keep on gettin the very biggest busses that they can. The city could get by with a smaller van bus system and be alot better off. But as long as the Fed puts up the money for public transpotation it will require bigger and better.

I found a mini fuel cell that Im thinking of adding to my electric helicopter. I want to be the first person to build and fly a hydrogen powered R/C heli. Yea I do get bored at times..
hello marina 5*
i was thinking pack horse pack mule something like that that was a good one 
Really great video. We need more Kobe playing around while you do the videos. I am retired so I don’t work so I don’t drive. I only drive when I need to. The most I have spent lately was on diesel fuel for my tractor. It was $25.00 to fill it up. Ok what does pick a pack have to do with piggy back
Mike
Capman911, did you not pay attention while watching the lesson?
Ok I saw the pig on the card the second time around. I wasn’t paying attention in class. So I guess I win since I said a deck of cards.
Ok I saw the pig on the card the second time around. I wasn’t paying attention in class. So I guess I win since I said a deck of cards.
I think he was paying attention to what was hanging from your zipper. My first guess was a starfish (yea I have starfishes on the brain), then I thought no it has to be a flower like the one on your snug blouse. I too found myself a bit lost in the lesson. But I was smarter than Mike. I replayed the video. hehehe
Im so smart I could be a rocket sciences. Oh wait.. I think I am. I do own a hydrogen powered rocket. 
Other than the fact my piggy bank is hungry.
Ok so what does a pick a pack have to do with my piggy bank

Yes Capman911, they wrote about how Spam got its name.. it was a magazine for the pig industry I believe!

Capt. Jack has a good eye!
Didn’t notice the starfishy!
OR the short shorts! Dang!
Even though it’s a video, I
still look you right in the eyes.
Marina I saw? what happened?
Don’t worry, I never hear much the first time through, is there an echo here…
I get most of my Gas from crush cars. As I’m not far from the car shreader, tow trucks & scrap haulers stop by my shop & I buy from them, wheels & tyres. If the car is freshly dead with a full tank, I’ll buy the gas or exchange for a little work, 1/2 price for cash.
The only Gas I have to buy retail is race fuel for the important car (High test only).
WE???? You for got to add the mini-disclamer
I don’t worry about Alx. I understand him somewhat. If he wants to dispute me using we or us then I have no problem with that.
Now if you don’t want to be involved then I’ll disavow you in my comments.

I must say, I think that is the coolest jacket I have ever seen! …me likey.
Do you want me to get you one. You can put it on your pillow at night and dream. Hey pal, hows it going. I see by the weather you must had some pretty bad storms yesterday. We get them every afternoon because of the heat. My son went to four house fires yeasterday afternoon from lightening stricks. Man I feel so envyious not being able to fight fire anymore. But we leave it to the younger generations now. You and Pagy take care and enjoy each other.
Mike
Pick a pack, had us all goin’!
Homework:
Started a business venture with some locals
to produce biodiesel from cooking grease.
The real numbers won’t show a payback
for at least six monthes, but then it’s all
gravy.
I usually walk, I’m close to everything.
There are a LOT more people riding
bicycles than ever.
My little pick ‘em up truck only gets
20 miles/gallon since the last formula
change (down 20%).
melikadothechacha,
My eye has save my former boss over $100,000 in engine replacement. I found a turbo colling tube leak on our starboard engine that no one was able to find for weeks. I found it in 15 minutes. The fault was of Caterpillar Inc. The tube was not quality stainless steel that ended up rusting. It would squirt out water onto a very hot engine and would instantly evaporate, leaving no evidence of any problems. It the tube had completely failed the turbo would have melted and engine losing cooling pressure. Well I don’t have to tell you what would happen next.
I can find a needle in a hay stack if I had a photo of the needle. I seem to have an ability to recognize breaks in patterns. Its a good talent to have if you ever need to break any cryptography.
ah! a hairline pipe fracture only leaking under pressure!
I’ve seen one, but it was obvious, not hidden.
Marine engine work is not my forte.
Trying my hand at the cyrillic alphabet.
so far, so good – can’t ace the test, yet.
Hey Marina,
Just wondering. How did your appearance on the O’Reilly Factor go? I missed it on T.V. by 30 min.
Gratz Marina on breaking 90 Million Total Video Views on YouTube!!! I know I account for at least 237 of those views not counting videos I’ve watched more than once.
Unfortunately, like most Americans, laziness is a factor. It must be, because I haven’t seen any drop in the number of cars on the road. Not only that I’m seeing more and more trucks and SUV’s (imitation Jeep) on the road. Although the price for gas has dropped, here anyway, by 20 cents in the last three days. I guess the short answer is not as much as I should.
This reminds me of the movie WALL-E. Good example of where we are headed. The oil companies are banking on this. I think they could get away with $7 a gallon and still people will continue to drive.
We’ll probably buy foreign versions
of the old Chevette, and AMC Gremlins
and Pacers, since American auto makers
are turning out gas guzzlers!
Honda, Suzuiki, Toyota, Hyunai, Mazda
all unheard of as auto makers in USA
until GMC, Ford, etc. forgot how to
make cars right (forget about superior!).
Go to an old car show to see what
quality work used to look like before
cheap plastic was extensively used.
Now, designs are so flawed, cars
don’t last as long as the car loans
to pay for them! What can you do?
As a consumer, not much – Ralph
Nader is dead, and whoever replaced
him is bought and paid for.
um… the rumors of ralph naders death are greatly exaggerated.
yeah, but the numbers are in and u.s. car manufacturers are hurting. now that it’s important to their bottom line they may start changing. slow though, remember how ford figured out how much it would cost them to fix the problem with exploding gas tanks and decided that it wasn’t worth it. that just paying off the lawsuits would be cheaper. american no how, er i mean know how.
dont know anything about car manufacturers, but the

i recognize a lot of stuff from that time without knowing who did it.

To cut back on fuel usage, I switched jobs cutting 40 miles round trip and started working from home 1-2 days a week. Then I negated most if not all the savings by buying a RRS SC. Oh well… Guess I need to work from home more!
my back’s for rent
a five star performance
I’m getting a flying squirrel and a moose to pull my sled.
Oh that was just too funny dude!
How so you like the gravatar, it’s a photo of the conning tower of a Russian submarine. Big red star
Very cool chevolay. Macy’s now has adopted the big red star for their advertising. They dressed their Seattle store with big red lights on the outside of the building and put up big red stars. Me being a cold war vet, that really shocked me.
I thought the former Soviet Union had taken over Macy’s.
Are you sure a horse wouldn’t be better to pull tour sled. They produce their own gas.
I had many a mule fart in my face with driving the tobacco sled down the rows.
We are here to help you out so hope on my squirrel.
I like your user name (s)
I knew it was a Russian star, but it was agood idea to get one from a Russian sub.
Ps I am also moose and squirrel. ssssshhh keep it a secrete.
That was fast!
hehehe.
New O’Reilly post is up!!
3rd
Whoa
Don’t you wish the comments would show the seconds?
Well, then someone would ask for fractions of the seconds. Oh well.
To save money on gas I just gave two weeks notice at work; I’ll also be able to save a few bucks on car insurance. Surf’s up!!
piggies!
Congrats neanderthal! You beat the experts!
Thanks! I actually tabbed over to check if the Cubbies swept Brewers (Go Cubbies!!!) and started watching the new lesson only to realize I could be first.
neanderthal, Im going to make a lot of Neanderthal negative statements in future and the past posts. Please don’t take it as an insult to your screen name.
I like your picture. You like to get high often?
They sure did Neanderthal! That series sweep can’t be bigger than this! We definetly needed that! Cheers for the cubbies!
