Best Weekend Ever pt. 2
Here is the followup to my best weekend ever video.. where I picked my three favorite stories of yours.
The Best Weekend Contest Website is here.
Here is the link to David’s story.
Here is june201955’s story:
Once, I invited a new girl friend to accompany me to a large ski resort for a 3 day weekend. The suite, (log cabin type walls & ceiling) was huge with a fully stocked wet bar, log burning fireplace, king size bed, & a jacuzzi. Only i time per day would we come out of our room to enjoy the dinner buffet. The only other thing that I can tell you, (here on YT) is that neither of us knew how or was ever interested in skiing……..
And here is the winner, meyster7’s story:
My best weekend was the night I proposed to my girlfriend. Before I popped the question the following happened. I was late for our date because of an apartment closing, a cat puked on her, it started to rain on us and i was going to pull the ring out anyway… and right before I did… she got hit with diarrehia because of the ice cream i bought (she lactose intolerant). And then when I asked her… i must have been so nervous… instead of a “yes”… I got a “what?” and had to repeat it.

About Marina on Wikipedia
Panties?? Maybe an everyday word if you are about 6
James can’t that be changed to another word so it doesn’t sound like all that is covered here is lingerie?
I will change it.
I changed it to OK.
that wasn’t “ironing panties” that was “irony and panties”.

ARRGH I havent posted yet! Sorry i was looking at macs… iMovie seems kiNda hard to iUse
dude its not that hard, i did have some mistakes, but running smooth since. what are you using now?
whew .. found a place to reply …
yes … joan jet would be a good model for Evil Marina.
well spotted.
approx same age as Siouxie too, i think.
(they were both part of the original punk spawning weren’t they)
lol .. ok .. i was initiating hide’n’seek posting
i have a theory about the different styles of UK n US punk
my theory is:
US punk generally took its inspiration from the Rolling Stones
= intelligent, style, sensual, debauchery
UK punk generally took its inspiration from the Who.
= anarchic, aggressive, exuberant, destructive
however .. i think the ramones are kind of half way.
oh .. and Dead Kennedies don’t fit my theory either. I guess it’s a crap theory.

{hits the sack}
Good News today.
I have a new ” Top Ten Women ” member. It’s Sarah Palin!
This is a GOOD Woman, Alaskan Tough, a hunter, and just damn Hot too.
I married a Cowgirl just like her. Tough and Hot.
Your right RRR she is gorgeous’
Sarrah Palin
Well so much for that picture.
Another picture of her
I would move to Alaska if she was single
If who was single??? I chased a girl to Alaska once (long, long time ago), well that sounded wrong. She lived in Alaska & I went up there to chase her…eeh, kinda. Anyways met a South American girl on the way up there (from the Ande’s mountains) Aye, Aye, Aye… It was then I realized how dangerous it is to chase girlz… ‘nuf said.
She’s HOT!
Miss M, Did you do two videos to see which was the best. It seems like the second one has closer in shots than the first one?
Hi Mike, the contest video and the BWE #1 video on this site are slightly different. The reason for the look of the closer shots, is that the BWE videos are formated in wide screen format (16:9) letterbox. You can see the black borders on those videos. The video above is 4:3 format.with no black borders, so it looks closer.
Of course, Marina should correct me if I’m wrong.
Thanks Karl
By the way, you can see the differences by the thumbnails on the following link. The BWE #2 is a larger picture formatted at 4:3, and when you scroll down to the BWE#1 you can see that it is in 16:8 format with borders at top and bottom.

Marina’s yellow sticky note reminders on the fridge:
Always encode in 4:3 format unless the player supports 16:9.
Always encode in stereo just so pedanticKarl can play with his stupid acoustics.
How about CT Scan or CAT Scan?
Where does the phrase “being on cloud 9 come from.” I’ve always heard it regarding someone happy, but why could 9? And why the 9?
I would like to request the word weisenheimer
Is it a night pot ?
Hi Marina,
It’s a Friday and as a lot of people I am ready for the weekend and desided to start mine a little early. So today I am “playing hooky”, but can you tell me where that came from
Thanks,
Martin
Hi Marina,
Thank you for picking me in your contest… Wonderful!
Here’s one… that will make you laugh… seriously!
I am in grade 10 and come home for lunch. Mom is not home.
I go to check the mailbox and find a black briefcase
sitting outside near our front door. “What’s that doing here?”, I ask myself.
I get up close and see that it is so jam-packed full of stuff that you can see through the sides. I see lots of wires and weird things that are hard to recognize. I step away and phone my school friend next door to come over with his flashlight to have a look.
My friend is puzzled by this “mystery case” and we both start to “freak-out!”
We call the cops and they come and look… then they call the fire department. They are all looking at this suspicious item and whispering amongst themselves. They phone my Dad to ask if he has any enemies. He had no enemies.
Two firefighters take a pole and slide it through the handle and gingerly carry it to the back of the fire truck. The police car and the truck leave with the case. My friend and I are taking the afternoon off because “we’re a bit shakin’ up over all this.
Standing in the front yard we see my Mom walking towards us carrying a grocery bag from downtown. As she gets within hearing distance, she asks, “Did the TV repairman get here yet?”
OH BOY!!! The firetruck took the case out to the local dump/landfill and the police shot at it with their rifles.
Apparently, the TV guy came by (nobody home) went for lunch and thought he’d leave his case behind in a “safe spot”!! LOL
David
Another funny story
How about the phrase “Right as rain.”? Thanks

There must be a wave of Marina minions trying to vote for her – because the Best Weekend Ever site is down. Again. DNS is not resolving their address.
Remind me to find out who the marketing wizards are for this… so I NEVER use them!
we godda keep voting for Marina.. the Trippster might try to pull a fast one
Correct. Marina’s video has been maintaining a margin of over 400 votes
for the second place and over 500 votes over the third place video. As long as we can keep up a comfortable margin, she will stay on top.
one of Nalt’s main haters just posted this video up, it also stars Marina!
Some of you may know him as Charles Trippy? He has this CTFxC thing… asshole.
so yea, check it out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJWHIjecYH0&feature=user
He also used Marina as a thumbnail on his video which is now on page 3 of the most viewed. Don’t view his video as it just adds more views to his.
and why exactly shouldn’t he get more views?
He’s not as good looking as Marina, and, also “good looking women make better music”.
oh! oh! oh! .. … it just occurred to me!! .. muse! .. it must be related somehow to amused and bemused.
(surely?)
i was thinking of a muse rather than to muse … and now the bits are relating it seems to be less edifying.
? edifying ? .. to edify. … what’s that constructed from? …
to beautify is to add the attribute of beauty
to edify is to add the attribute of edy??
… and while we’re at it … music v. muse
angelic <- angel
music <- muse ??
a: “what’s that sound?”
b: “yes, i was wondering that. It’s sort of music, isn’t it?”
hi marina….Whre does the term laymans come from?
Hello Marina. I just like to say thank you for all those great videos. I use to download them to my ipod. Thanks very mutch!
@1175 Wow
embarrassing lead
#2 @ 785 Bye Bye
#3 @ 602 But disqualified for using non original material
and plagiarizing.
#4 @ 593 Yeah Right.
My best weekend ever was typing these phrases into google and clicking “I’m Feeling Lucky.”
xx-piglatin
xx-elmer
elgoog
Then try to read it.
SPIC AND SPAN
AFTER
if terrible and horrible are synonyms
then
why is terrific and horrific antonyms?
I too found this video’s Marina to be unfamiliar; her eyes look like piss-holes in the snow – did she forget her contact lenses or her Belladonna or did she have a hangover?
Also, it may be a bad camera angle, but her cheeks looked hollow making her look older – for a moment I wondered if it was her mother.
I hope she’s not bulimic, but it might explain the fascination with people puking. It’s something I don’t understand. Why do people think it is necessary to abuse themselves to the point where they throw up and loose their memory, in order to convince themselves they’re having a good time?
Perhaps I should have told of the weekend I had cholera in an African hotel with no doctor available and no pharmacy open. I spent the whole time suspended between the toilet and the sink, projectile vomiting and shitting through the eye of a needle.
Luckily, my inoculations were up to date, so it didn’t kill me, but sometimes, when I hear young people bragging, I wish it had.
If a woman sh!ts through an eye of a needle in an African hotel, should I cholera doctor?
i think the vid had an intimate (and almost, but not quite) candle lit (or campfire?) quality about it.
So many people are overweight nowadays that anyone who’s in their healthy weight-range seems gaunt. She looks perfectly fit to me.
Most attractive marina (in my personal opinion) so far (of the recentish ones i’ve seen).
.. oh yeh … will we be seeing evil marina? How will she be kitted out? Black hair? … Long, sharp fingernails? … Disdain for good-marina’s students?
i that thought.
(for all those whiny wussies who are offended by the least bit of nudity: don’t click.)
err … that should read “i like that thought.”
eek!!
our evil marina would never be a passive victim!!!
nor would she be so stark!!
(nor the good one, for that matter)
how about this, then?
the dark side is very powerful.
( aLx will be [punished] )
too blond, too colorful …
( evil Marina’s new [teaching assistant] )
I was going for the attitude .. tho the clothing goes well with it .. and the cane.
yeah, i’ll take “too blond” back.
she’s cute
( [receives stinging thwack for being distracted] )
aLx, mijj for your consideration, joan jett what do you think?
yeah, she rocks.
she was born in 58′
and?
just impressed that she has been performing that hard that long without choking on her own vomit and dying. that and she looks damn good at 60.
umm .. born in 58 … wouldn’t that make her 50?
yeah yeah 5, 6, there like 5 mm’s apart. thats not much. anyway just thought she was a good evil marina.
mijj, yeah she was a part of the original punk spawning, every spring punks would swim up river to cbgb’s and spawn. the name of her original group was the all girl group the runaways she gained popularity with her group the joan jett and the black hearts and the song, “i love rock and roll” a song originally performed by the english group the a> href=”http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8AT_Pbtyid0″>arrows most recently the song was covered by britney spears sorry to end on such a bad note.
damn, screwed up the arrows link
http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=arrows&search_type=&aq=f
mijj, reply to my comments here, i can find you when you post. your taking me back to comments i forgot i made. this could get embarrassing. yeah, that joan jet video was higher quality, it was produced in 82′ mtv premiered in 81′ and was already affecting the delivery of music to the masses here in the u.s. check out the ramones and iggy
Sister Act pacific northwest weather (mine) produces some origionals, these girls redefined what was expected of women in my grad year yet.Mistral Wind lesser known but one of my favorite heart tunes.
ok, buzz .. in case you missed it, i made a post elsewhere with a theory of why the difference in UK/US punk but concluded the theory was half-assed.
Plus .. these links:

Music tends to reflect the environment of the musician doesn’t it. Working class industrial is very energetic and machine-like.
Middle class town tends to be relaxed and comfortable.

… is a song about the eternal challenge of the youthful brit pubgoer to get the last round in before time is called.
I watched the vid again Bob, to see what you’re talking about…”wondered if it was her mother”, harsh… Never got that vibe 1st or 2nd time. Marina is not a teen with no “charachter” to her face, but a very fit 27 year old. some of the shadows cast by the lighting bring out different features. almost a black & white quality to it. Some of the best photos I took of my kids, when they were little, were when I bought a roll of B/W film & played a little with the shdpws & stuff. Sticks out like a sore thumb (good one though) in the old photo albums & I like.
Marina judging the story winners… she’s more fair than any internet contest that one would want to enter, ‘nuf said.
I remember back in school, the “cool kids” bragging about the “forgotten weekends” some of them are dead now & others have gone through programs to get “straight”. My youngest brother, one nightI, I sat most of the night with him, pearched over the toilet…wondered if he was going to keep his own inards inside, took awhile to get him back.Fast forward… he’s a dad now, with two healthy boys a wife & an inherited, by marriage, boisterous Italin family.
Glad you made it through your cholera, for lack of a better word, experience. Cheers
… and some of them are presidents of the United States
She has been 27 for about two years now.
The big 3-0 is coming very quick.
Will she be HOT FOR 30 ?
She is like a 1979 308 GTS Ferrari
When i was going with a girl coming up to her ’30s she was under a little stress because she was unmarried and without children and saw that age as a significant threshold.
i think you should do a video on ‘You’re absolutely georgeous’. That way it would be enjoyable for you seeing as you’re 100% related to that
x
Martha Washington was georgeous.
George Bernard Shaw was georgeous. I am not wrong about that.
Hey Marina,
This is kinda old but last summer there was that song “Ay Bay Bay.” If you look it up on urban dictionary there is some pretty lengthy descriptions and go into surprising detail. Just wanted to know the true origin of the phrase.
Thanks!
If “Hell is paved with good samaritans.”, where do the bad samaritans go? Just wondering, in case I need to decide which kind of samaritan I am.
First, are you from Samaria?
Well sort of. I snuck into Samaria illegally. Now, where do illegally bad Samaritans go?
Hi Marina,
Maybe a “whale” could hold once breath for a long time.
Best regards septpssj
My gorgeous Marina,
Could you possibly do the origins of the word(s),
frisky and/or darling
:]]
And I voted for you as many times as I could for best weekend ever :]]
Marina, what does pigeon-livered mean? I know a Chinese woman who actually takes pride in being pigeon-livered!
I’ve heard of a Little Pigeon Toad but looks like investigating pigeon-livered might pay off ????
You are on fire tonght

Well, ahhh, uhhh, it wasn’t my fault sir. I was abducted by those little gray men from Sirius and they wanted to make a crop circle, so I said, OK.
I don’t crop circles, but I do crop photos. To crop a circle is to break the cycle.
Time to call Bicycle Repairman.
Super video, Bob.
OK – now, do Snoopy on his doghouse – LOL!
I see you’re getting the bugs worked out…
ASCII lookin’ good!
how could Marina have scooted past this effort without making a comment? .. she’s so brutal.
Marina, I’m a twin and would love to know the origin of the word Twin. Thank you. Love your videos, they have been very enlightening. Keep up the great work.
A small soda is a mini soda. Another one just like it is a mini soda twin.
