Hi Marina, If you didn’t get a screen shot of “Little Mermaid” the most viewed the other day, I have it here. http://i35.tinypic.com/vnimfr.jpg
It was up there for a few hours and then disappeared. I thought it would be up there for 24 hours. I’m confused by You Tube’s selections. IT doesn’t make sense a lot of the time.
Thanks pedantickarl. You have 48 hours to be on that list then you go away. It’s how YouTube creates variety.. because being on that list results in about 25,000 to 50,000 views an hour and if you were allowed to stay there forever you would find that people would stop going to that page, as there would be no change. So to be more accurate… That page should be titled:
“The most viewed videos that have been on the site for less than 48 hours!”
But I think that title would not be as interesting.
Well thats devotion Marina! I wanna be 1st comment this time ! not foxbow lol. Did you get my video request I emailed you?

Marina, I think that:
“The most viewed videos that have been on the site for less than 48 hours!” WOULD actually be a SUPER interesting title
,,,or at least it would be interesting for those of us that like precision
…or to those of us who like tounge-twisters, meaning those crazy little phrases that are so hard for people to say that it “twists” their tounge. For instance:
–Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers
–How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
There’s so much aliteration and redundancy that most people get lost with those tounge-twisters
Maybe another title that could build redundancy up for the
tounge-twisting crowd would be:
“Due to the sheer volume of videos, we must act as a valve to prevent violence and give voice to the vision of a vanguard of virile & voluptuous videomakers. Hence, we show the very most viewed videos (inevitably varied) in the last 48 hours.”

Have you heard the saying “catch 22″??? I would love to know where it came from
Catch-22 is a satirical, historical novel by the American author Joseph Heller, first published in 1961.
There was only one catch and that was Catch-22, which specified that a concern for one’s safety in the face of dangers that were real and immediate was the process of a rational mind. Orr was crazy and could be grounded. All he had to do was ask; and as soon as he did, he would no longer be crazy and would have to fly more missions. Orr would be crazy to fly more missions and sane if he didn’t, but if he was sane he had to fly them. If he flew them he was crazy and didn’t have to; but if he didn’t want to he was sane and had to. Yossarian was moved very deeply by the absolute simplicity of this clause of Catch-22 and let out a respectful whistle.
“That’s some catch, that Catch-22,” Yossarian observed.
“It’s the best there is,” Doc Daneeka agreed.

buzz - Russia was asked to intervene by whom? One part of Georgia against another part of Georgia? S. Ossetia is not a separate country, and is part of Georgia. It’s like some people in Montana asking Canada to intervene in a dispute with the United States.
Perceptions of the people in S. Ossetia have some validity, but nobody voted on it. Russia handed out passports like candy to people in S. Ossetia to manufacture some national interest in protecting its “citizens.’ That doesn’t change the fact that the people were Georgian, and that — just as Germany would have the right to prevent Bavaria from seceding from Germany, Georgia has the right to hold on to its territory.
And, I’m not talking about any dictionary definitions here. S. Ossetia is a part of Georgia just like Vermont is a part of the United States and Copenhagen is a part of Denmark. It’s not about rhetoric. It is not for Russia to decide what goes on in Georgia.

prospero811 replied on August 19th, 2008 12:18 pm:
Either way, mjjj, how is it any of Russia’s business. It’s not part of Russia, and it’s not a separate country from Georgia no matter how you slice it.
The people of South Ossetia want to be independent of Georgia. Stalin artificially included South Ossetia into Georgia, and they don’t wish to respect Stalin’s decision.
Russia is involved because the people of South Ossetia wish it that way.
That’s all that’s needed.
The people of South Ossetia wish Russia to be involved because they wish to be free of Georgia, have close ties to Russia and need them for protection.
The leader of Georgia (installed by the US against the democratic will of Georgia) wishes to crush the will of the people of South Ossetia.
It looks like the people of South Ossetia are (thankfully) getting their way (after the initial attack on the civilians by Georgia).
The US, of course, insists that Georgia (like the US in Iraq or Afghanistan) should be permitted to massacre as many citizens as it wishes without interference from outside.
Fortunately, in this case, the US is no more than bluster and will be ignored by Russia.
buzzword says civilization failed. I disagree. Government failed. Not the same thing. Georgia murdered over a thousand people in Ossetia, a good reason for Russia to intervene.

Hello Marina..
I am wanting to find the meaning of “GRUNT”..As in a US Infantry Soldier.
In French the most used slang word for CASH is POGNON.
And POGNE comes from anothe slang word POGNE meaning “hand”.
But this POGNE comes from a normal word which is POING “fist” from the Latin PUGNUM.
The Latin PUGNUM is likely connected to Slavic PIAST’ = FIST and even FIST could be akin. The indoeuropean root could be “FIVE”.
Compare FIST = FIVE for the English (it’s really similar) (five fingers).
Compare PIAST’ = PIAT’ = 5 for the Slavic.
Marina. The correct pronunciation of “caisse” is kess. The final e is silent. Just thought I’d let you know. Love the video! You seem happier than usual, in fact!

Your reply to melika:
why you are calling me trip.. what video you want me to mak and what a pb n j sandwich is..
Answer:
‘Trip’ because you fell down.
pb n j= Peanutbutter and jelly
Because people will look at it at rate 1 star then no one will look at it because they will think its a scramer or sommething so on this video.. I disabled them.. Just removing spam at the moment and replying to some of the stupid comments that he wrote.. I was quite surprised to see 36 new email in my inbox all from youtube. If you see any spam I missed can you just post where it is.. Its early morning..
Hi melika.. Its nearly 2am and as time goes by my levels of understanding people go through the floor. Pllease could you explain to me why you are calling me trip.. what video you want me to mak and what a pb n j sandwich is.. Thanks……… Sorry..
Jamesington III <- trip(le)
You never played American baseball??!
first, second, “third” base - triple play.
Also, during the “teddy bear” video,
you slid and nearly fell on your ass!
PBNJ = peanut butter and jelly
Most people just slather a gob
on a hunk of bread and slap
together a sandwich.
In a demonstration video, you could
make “gourmet” PBNJ’s by altering
the technique in an interesting way.
Briefly explain the properties of the
ingredients: bread , Peanut butter
and jelly. Use a spoon and a small
bowl to mix a generous amount of
peanut butter with half again as
much jelly (50-50 mix is too soupy)
Do not overmix! Ribbons of jelly
through the peanut butter have
the desiored visual effect. Then,
slather a gob on a hunk of bread
and slap together a sandwich!
Sliced banana thrown in works
for another visual effect and
sells the “gourmet” aspect.
Maybe this one snot for you.
You should come up with a neat demo

How is Obama going to be the Pres. if he doesn’t cheat and lie about it?
Either way, mjjj, how is it any of Russia’s business. It’s not part of Russia, and it’s not a separate country from Georgia no matter how you slice it.
The people of South Ossetia want to be independent of Georgia. Stalin artificially included South Ossetia into Georgia, and they don’t wish to respect Stalin’s decision.
Russia is involved because the people of South Ossetia wish it that way.
That’s all that’s needed.
The people of South Ossetia wish Russia to be involved because they wish to be free of Georgia, have close ties to Russia and need them for protection.
The leader of Georgia (installed by the US against the democratic will of Georgia) wishes to crush the will of the people of South Ossetia.
It looks like the people of South Ossetia are (thankfully) getting their way (after the initial attack on the civilians by Georgia).
The US, of course, insists that Georgia (like the US in Iraq or Afghanistan) should be permitted to massacre as many citizens as it wishes without interference from outside.
Fortunately, in this case, the US is no more than bluster and will be ignored by Russia.
Maybe i should keep schtum … this isn’t a current affairs discussion site.
I’ll play myself out with a little gentle music …

pros, check out the time line. south osetia passed a declaration of independence in 1992.
mijj, motorhead is one ugly fucking band, they rock.
buzzword says civilization failed. I disagree. Government failed. Not the same thing. Georgia murdered over a thousand people in Ossetia, a good reason for Russia to intervene.
Very nice kitten. Looks like a cozy place to be
Warm, comfortable and with warm milk on tap.
naw screw that
i asked for this word last week
Hello:
I would like to know the etemology of the phrase “put two and two together.”
Thank you
uhm…
why do we sometimes call a rabbit, a bunny?!
and is the term bunny rabbit correct?
I ask because I’ve never heard of exact synonyms in the animal kingdom before. Maybe there’s a story behind it… I hope
I would like to know where the word “touché” came from. I love to use that word.
it came from fencing if i’m not wrong, where touché(french) means touch, in case of fencing touch of a foil(sword) and point up for player who “touched” opponent…
When I heard the song “Money makes the world go round, the world go round” I thought I was being lied to in science class. LOL
I’m surprised nobody mentioned Tango & Cash. It takes two to tango, but you can’t tango long without cash.
I,m interested in where the word mummy came from, my youtube name is sptaznut
Hi Marina, for my homework greese, greenback, bennies, and currency.
Marina, you are the perennial geek. I love it when you talk geeky…
“about the inherited css… I always have problems with that!”
You must have made a ton of changes in the last few days, way too many to mention. I noticed that you also have the music player link way at the bottom. Your contact stuff has also changed. I love the comments counter and TubeMogul Daily Views graph which is helping me predict when you hit 100 million views. I made the prediction on the Nickname video page.
Hello Marina..
I am wanting to find the meaning of “GRUNT”..As in a US Infantry Soldier.
Pf wow, I didn’t know that word existed, thanks orangeblastfast.
I’m always learnin` sumtin` here!
In French the most used slang word for CASH is POGNON.
And POGNE comes from anothe slang word POGNE meaning “hand”.
But this POGNE comes from a normal word which is POING “fist” from the Latin PUGNUM.
The Latin PUGNUM is likely connected to Slavic PIAST’ = FIST and even FIST could be akin. The indoeuropean root could be “FIVE”.
Compare FIST = FIVE for the English (it’s really similar) (five fingers).
Compare PIAST’ = PIAT’ = 5 for the Slavic.
Marina. The correct pronunciation of “caisse” is kess. The final e is silent. Just thought I’d let you know. Love the video! You seem happier than usual, in fact!
Let’s see….cabbage, dead presidents, moola, green stamps…

I would like to request “Gumshoe” as in a detective. I have always wondered where it came from. I learn more from you than I do at school.
Hey, Hot for Words.
I would like to request the words “Holy Moley”. I have always wondered where this came from. I would love it if you could teach me.
Keep up the good work.

Marina, always a pleasure to see your YouTube posts. I would like to hear the origin of the word “gross”. Why? Well, it actually has several meanings that are all different from each other…and I thought it would be interesting.
You’re both beautiful and extremely intelligent plus very creative, it is no wonder you have so many fans–and I am sure more than a few crushes as well…
keep up the great videos!

Just removing spam at the moment and replying to some of the stupid comments that he wrote.. I was quite surprised to see 36 new email in my inbox all from youtube. If you see any spam I missed can you just post where it is.. Its early morning..
http://www.youtube.com/user/aPINKpumpkin here is your monster James http://www.hotforwords.com/2008/08/05/arse-ass/
James, your site may attract people
who think you pander “Kiddie” prOn.
The other video tis morning was better.
Now, I have to start calling you “Trip” <- nickname
Why don’t you do a demonstration video?
Do what you know, start easy, like,
I started with this topic (pulled from a hat!)
“How to make a PB N J sandwich”
Hi melika.. Its nearly 2am and as time goes by my levels of understanding people go through the floor. Pllease could you explain to me why you are calling me trip.. what video you want me to mak and what a pb n j sandwich is.. Thanks……… Sorry..
Jamesington III <- trip(le)
You never played American baseball??!
first, second, “third” base - triple play.
Also, during the “teddy bear” video,
you slid and nearly fell on your ass!
PBNJ = peanut butter and jelly
Most people just slather a gob
on a hunk of bread and slap
together a sandwich.
In a demonstration video, you could
make “gourmet” PBNJ’s by altering
the technique in an interesting way.
Briefly explain the properties of the
ingredients: bread , Peanut butter
and jelly. Use a spoon and a small
bowl to mix a generous amount of
peanut butter with half again as
much jelly (50-50 mix is too soupy)
Do not overmix! Ribbons of jelly
through the peanut butter have
the desiored visual effect. Then,
slather a gob on a hunk of bread
and slap together a sandwich!
Sliced banana thrown in works
for another visual effect and
sells the “gourmet” aspect.
Maybe this one snot for you.
You should come up with a neat demo
Did a quick check and nobody has
got gourmet technique up on YouTube.
You might do it before someone else does!
Do some research, lots of PBNJ videos up.
Here’s a good example of one. Clean post work.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZjqqbwgesw&feature =related
Here’s a funny example. Cam video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=whrAql1WUJ4
“Peanut butter and jelly
(sandwich) with a baseball bat”
might make a good working title.
You should get a lot of hits
Oh… Dont know if I could eat that.. Sounds horrible
melikadothechacha he is giving a demo already……………http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kubla_Kha n………
No evil forks are needed, Trip!
You would be the ONLY British
person to ever do this…
For King and Country, James?
Urm… No because…..We have a queen lol

We need to find a prophet ( a Moses ) to go up the mountain
and bring us back HER answer?
roadrunrnch - atheism is a non-prophet organization, but I’d be happy to go get the answer!
okay, as long as she doesn’t say otherwise, i claim that my explanation is the right one. and no-one can prove me wrong.
