Hello Marina,
Fiasco..hmm.. I just quit 2 jobs and was hired 2 times within one month. I quit one job because I was promised something better. When I started my new job my duties and job title had changed so I quit. I’ve been stewing for the past week and I was just hired someplace else- whew! I’ve missed stopping by here and I’m glad to be back.
Thank you Marina

Hello Marina! An aristocrat, noble, or member of a socially prominent family = blue blood. Why? Their blood is blue?
royal families wanted their families to stay 100% pure so they ended up doing incest and with that strange diseases came like one that made your blood turn kinda blueis ,which was fatal because it ment you couldn’t admit oxygen.
i don’t want to google it :p i’m scared i’m not right , i heard that theorie somewhere like 5 years ago… sounded pretty good ,i’v heard others like one that royal people would have more noticable (blue)vains because they didn’t come outside much and had loads of clothing on so they didn’t get a tan like normal people. but the incest thing sounded way more interesting and gross haha

Nah, I’m not really like that unless I’m on a sugar high.
A female friend of mine once had a chance run-in with the famous glass sculptor Dale Chilhuly. Her seat was next his seat on a flight out to New York. She told me about this for about an hour.

Goth
So, you like them dark and stylish? Well, who wouldn’t? Of course, I’m thinking about the original, late 70s & 80s goth.
Wikipedia:
“Gothic rock (alternatively called goth rock or simply goth) is a genrealternative rock that originated during the late 1970s. Originally, bands from the genre had strong ties to the English punk rock and emerging post-punk styles. The genre itself was defined as a separate movement from punk rock during the early 1980s. Gothic rock artists deal with dark themes and intellectual movements such as gothic horror, romanticism, and nihilism. Notable gothic rock bands include Bauhaus, The Cure, Siouxsie & the Banshees, The Sisters of Mercy, and The Mission. Gothic rock gave rise to a broader goth subculture that includes goth clubs, goth fashions, and goth-oriented magazines.”
Hi Marina. I was wondering where the word Spa came from. I do know that most of use girls love going there for manicures pedicures and facials from time to time.
Hope you can help me out!!
I think it’s from Spa the Belgium city….the water there supposidly has special powers or something I duno, people used to go there because of the healing capabilities of the water….
Marina .. i think you should do a video where you’re not prettied up for a change.
Make it scruffy .. no makeup - messy hair - have some soot smeared across your face too. … and how about some threadbare clothes. .. and try and be unpleasant and annoyed that you have to talk to us.
noooo .. not the “crawl out of the swamp” .. M will use that as an excuse to wear a fur bikini and hose herself down to wash off the mud.
no .. that’s back to glamour.
no .. she must be unglamorous and threadbare +
“stop bothering me about those bloody words! Can’t you look it up yourself? OK .. i’ve had it! This pretense has gone on long enough. I just make it all up.” .. etc!
i had the solution some time ago, though i stumbled and faltered ..
.. although, in the real world, Marina is pretty much a normal human being, we, in this strange peculiar world of HotForWords regard marina either as a goddess or a high priestess .. (i’m not sure which yet - still untangling).
so .. it’d be appropriate, at times like this to offer up prayers or other signs of devotion to our Mistress of the Words.
The act of creating these signs of devotion are way of invoking the presence of our Mistress.
Marina does all her own stuff, so you
can imagine how it might go… Request Phase: collating all those words
submitted over a period of many days Selection Phase: determining which words
are relevant or have interesting etomolgies,
have a special curiousity for her, etc. Research Phase: hitting the books to get
all the nuts and bolts to build a show around Writing Phase: coming up with the copy and
snappy presentation, and format out games, etc. Video Recording Phase: actually putting together
the scenes and getting the raw footage in the can.
This usually involves dressing room changes… Post Production Phase: getting the finishing
touches on the raw footage, sequencing,
graphics, sound effects, etc.
.
You can see there is a lot of room for dynamics
throughout this process, being Marina ‘n’ all,
so I can be patient - BUT ONLY FOR AWHILE!
We could get Marina a Roomba (robot vacuum cleaner) with a camera and watch Kobe go nuts, and maybe see if Marina has an ankle tat - LOL! She does love her small furry animal Kobe a lot!
Capman911 - Aaaar! That’s the ticket!
We do.. NEVER EVER EVER EVER click any links from foxbow the amount of sick (I mean really disturbing ) stuff he has sent me is unbelieveable. I have never seen anything so repulsive in my life
How about a camera mounted in each room of the house so we can watch her through out the day do her chores like she did in best weekend ever.
@Alx Kobe is still floating around on the balloons. He is probably out to sea by now headed towards Russia. He is going to freeze his little hinky dinks off or his dingle berries.lol
I’m shocked .. things are quiet here so i went to visit my old home of Guardian Unlimited newspaper forum. It’s very popular and very busy at all times.
Just out of a sense of curiosity .. i did a site search for the term “hotforwords” — with 0 results!!
if hotforwords is so popular, why aren’t people in the mainstream talking about it?
i wont even try to interpret “each time i meet on first time on a thread”.
what i mean is .. our first meeting in a thread is usually where you’re asking me to explain something i’ve said .. eg. “site search” .. (which i now presume was a wind up.)
Looks like a new YT collaboration on steroids called Hooking Up. A certain blog said, “…apparently HotForWords gets involved.”, but I haven’t seen that video yet.
speaking as someone who was heavily influenced by the punk era. What’s really exceptional about the whole internet thing is that it’s for everyone and we can all have a shot at getting involved and doing something no matter how crappy.
but that’s like going back to the days of tv where professionals and experts do stuff while we (well, i) sit there slack jawed and drooling.
ahem .. in my humble opinion, the reason the HFW channel is so successful is because it mixes perfectly sexiness and genuine intelligence. .. and both are positive and enrich each other. - it’s a full spectrum positive experience, and because of that, fulfilling. … well .. i think so, anyway.
The “Hooking Up” thing (which, btw, sounds like a reality prog about prostitution) would focus upon sexiness - i.e. undermine M’s image and project her as just someone else to ogle at.
The Bill O’Reilly thing, she’s there for her intellectual capability .. she was spotted because of HFW - and she’s not being reduced to being merely a sex-pot who can say clever things. .. in fact .. i’m coming round on the Bill O’Reilly ting .. because i find BO despicable, i think i may ahve seen M’s appearance there through despair tinted lenses.
anyhoo .. my point is … M’s principle source of sexiness for her vids is her charisma (in my opinion). And that charisma will beam through regardless of explicit sexuality .. so things such as th BO thing - where she’s just talking with someone on an intellingent level - i think that’s the kind of thing where she gets the best out of all her qualities.
… however .. this is just rambling .. and i havent even read back the above to see if it makes sense. … so .. {…shrugh…} … there’s probably lots of room for correction.

Kingdom Hospital has been on sci-fi channel all day long today. It’s a weird series. One weird doctor, people hearing children in the elevator. dieing people seeing a little girl and an anteater, I think that what that is. Very odd program
The British wanted to make fun of the colonist so they were insulting the new Americans by calling them hillbillies.
The Americans had a sense of humor about it and liked it.
They even made a song about, Yankee Doodle which was about a British gay bar called Macaroni
In essence they said “We may be a bunch of Hillbillies but you guys
are a bunch of queers with feathers in your caps.”
You learn a lot watching the History channel.

Hal9000, your Word Request - Yankee is a good one
I was wondering myself a while back.
My research shows, (not just what I thought I remembered from the
History Channel) it to have an interesting origin.
Let’s remind her to investigate this word for the next July 4th.
Here is a site along the line of what I believe Alx was talking about. I watched this lady named Val Tuesday night at 9 pm and she was live and you could comment to her personally and she would answer you back. It was really cool. She is on the left side doing the live video and the comments were on the right with all of her members talking to her like a real person to person talk. She stayed on for like 1-1/2 to 2 hours.
I left her a little ditty in Pirate-ese to try and coax her out of the shadows and into the light
It’s been quiet over there since she said she
was going to tell us Marina’s secrets

thanks foxbow!

Shall I ask her now, gentlemen?
thank goodness for that! .. even better would be if you’d been asked and turned it down.
I may not like Bill O’Reilly .. but at your spot on his show ss in the right domain.
umm, mijj. i hate to do it again but …
lemme ax u that: what do you mean by, your spot on his show ss in the right domain?
hi aLx !
… ok
lol .. when i say this stuff it seems clear on the way out .. but when i read it back it seems sorta muddy.
ok .. here comes rambling explanation …
ahem .. in my humble opinion, the reason the HFW channel is so successful is because it mixes perfectly sexiness and genuine intelligence. .. and both are positive and enrich each other. - it’s a full spectrum positive experience, and because of that, fulfilling. … well .. i think so, anyway.
The “Hooking Up” thing (which, btw, sounds like a reality prog about prostitution) would focus upon sexiness - i.e. undermine M’s image and project her as just someone else to ogle at.
The Bill O’Reilly thing, she’s there for her intellectual capability .. she was spotted because of HFW - and she’s not being reduced to being merely a sex-pot who can say clever things. .. in fact .. i’m coming round on the Bill O’Reilly ting .. because i find BO despicable, i think i may ahve seen M’s appearance there through despair tinted lenses.
anyhoo .. my point is … M’s principle source of sexiness for her vids is her charisma (in my opinion). And that charisma will beam through regardless of explicit sexuality .. so things such as th BO thing - where she’s just talking with someone on an intellingent level - i think that’s the kind of thing where she gets the best out of all her qualities.
… however .. this is just rambling .. and i havent even read back the above to see if it makes sense. … so .. {…shrugh…} … there’s probably lots of room for correction.
Shall I ask her now, gentlemen?Thank you my dear teacher for the heads up.
I didn’t need another distraction to pull me away from
my remedial watching of HFW video lessons #1 through #288.
As they say; “Repetitive watching of HFW makes perfect.”
It does depict, very briefly, near the end someone that appears to be our Marina…
but on closer inspection… at about 1:02… It must be one of Bob’s Evil Plan clones!
One of my early efforts which I unleashed on you for calling me a mad scientist.
No offense intended, I just presumed that the mastermind behind any evil plan should surely be a mad scientest…. BTW to which part are you taking exception - the “mad” or the “scientist” or both?
i’ve posted this music vid before, but i’ll post it again, cos it’s so damned good …

mmmh…ok….you like lordie to? they kinda have the same looks
thanks for the tip … i’m havin’ a search of YouTube right now to see if i can spot something interesting ..
it should be lordi not lordie -.-
I saw those “monsters” irl up close ,a year ago in Helsinki(finnish capital) they really look scary haha,
via hunting out something i liked by Lordie .. i found this theme to the Dutch (i think) tv prog : Riget (not by Lordie)…

Danish yes
really weird series 
have you ever seen it?
yeh! .. i dloaded a copy of it!
Kingdom Hospital has been on sci-fi channel all day long today. It’s a weird series. One weird doctor, people hearing children in the elevator. dieing people seeing a little girl and an anteater, I think that what that is. Very odd program
yeh .. i like that series .. i like stuff that’s at least a little beyond my understanding.
what i particularly like is the gradual unraveling of the evil brain surgeon.
+ i really like that song they play every now and then …

Have you seen Lil’ O’Reily yet?
he seems to have more hair than usual. apart from that .. ?
I would like to request the word”Yankee”. I have wondered for many years what is the origin of this word.
Thanks.
The British wanted to make fun of the colonist so they were insulting the new Americans by calling them hillbillies.
The Americans had a sense of humor about it and liked it.
They even made a song about, Yankee Doodle which was about a British gay bar called Macaroni
In essence they said “We may be a bunch of Hillbillies but you guys
are a bunch of queers with feathers in your caps.”
You learn a lot watching the History channel.
I really appreciate your response and it’s very informative. However, I still do not see a direct connection to the word “YANKEE.”
Where does this word or anything sounding like it come from?
Hal9000, your Word Request - Yankee is a good one
I was wondering myself a while back.
My research shows, (not just what I thought I remembered from the
History Channel) it to have an interesting origin.
Let’s remind her to investigate this word for the next July 4th.
It looks like all of Marina’s videos are now finally unflagged on YouTube
including Antidisestablishmentarianism and floccinaucinihilipilification.
P.S. what a fiasco that was… now to see that graph start taking off for the sky again…
I did think I had seen any flags on her videos lately not. Just help misscupcake unflag hers, now if we can. Yeesssssss.

Here is a site along the line of what I believe Alx was talking about. I watched this lady named Val Tuesday night at 9 pm and she was live and you could comment to her personally and she would answer you back. It was really cool. She is on the left side doing the live video and the comments were on the right with all of her members talking to her like a real person to person talk. She stayed on for like 1-1/2 to 2 hours.

Now’s your chance, evil Marina!!! …
[New Video]
thanks for the idea, cufan71! But, will the gullible fools who visit this site fall for it?
nope .. noone’s visiting evil Marina.
I left her a little ditty in Pirate-ese to try and coax her out of the shadows and into the light
It’s been quiet over there since she said she
was going to tell us Marina’s secrets
that evil marina video .. evil marina looks an awful lot like a giant animatronic marina head. It could very well be a trap.
Hey everyone it’s October, yes I know you all know this, lol but we need to put on our Halloween Gravatars for this month, really scary ones. You know the kind that looks like Jack in his Pirate costume.
Just kidding you Jack you look so sweet. 
Hi Capman! I’m way ahead of you!!!!
Don’t know if I’ll change after Halloween because I really like it!!!!
I like it, I think you should stick with it.
Got mine plus some more on deck
Thanks for the heads up…. I can’t right now, but will work on it soon
Bwahahaahhah!!! I am now invisible for Halloween! none of you can see me!
MARCO!
Do you have any idea how hard it is to find a Gravatar of a fish with an eye patch?
I may have to work on Plan B!
Excellent idea, guys - very creative
we could always find a really old vid and pretend it’s a new vid. We’d never know if we didn’t let on.
Get one the ones that only a few comments and use that one. Some of M’s older videos only had like 12 or so comments.
Man you devious, I like that. 
Get her sister’s video and post it! Those who have not seen it would get BIG surprise!!!
Does anybody but Marina know what Fly Tv sold or was for. Were they selling a product or something. Where did it air, was in on tv or just the internet? Curious minds want to know. Really I’m just nosy. lol
I recall a spin off show that was on TV for
a brief time after Living Color was on the air.
Basically, it was comedy and music/dance
featuring the Fly Girls, sans Jennifer Lopez.
Without JLo, people lost interest quickly…
Early ’90’s, I think - on Fox
Thanks ChaCha I hate I missed the show back then. So M was actually on real TV for awhile.
“Fly TV was ABC’S youth digital channel broadcast from 6pm - 6am everyday. The channel started up in 2001 bringing a barrage of music, arts, gaming, sport and more to the sc
