Jeans is more at home however Denim as with Dungarees have been known. Use to own a pair of Dungarees with many top pockets to fill up with essential items, great for clubbing but proved impossible when in need of a pee real quick when slighty intoxicated, those button politics! – so had to give those up Dungiees, I call them, were most comfy even though with a visual look of the tele-tubbies taking hold Uh-Oh!!
great isn’t it? found an artist on line who has her own spin on things causing much excitment, just had to grab it for the Halloween season….the screaming shower scene lasted only a day as too scary (for me that is, such a girl!) // The picture is not a million miles away from my goth days seeing The Cure playing live for hours with the sweat dripping the make down the face, as if my eyes were bleeding, or something strange. Why does that feel like only a day ago?
Stanley K with clock work orange is awesome, one of the best ever films. Think it was banned over here in the uK for ages until CH4 shook the massive to wake up and party! Stanley K is a legend, with my fav horror film as mentioned, The Shining, by another SK, Stephen King….now there’s a thing!
appreciate souxie sioux…nah, love the Banshees mijj! Have most records still turning under the needle when the mood takes hold, sad to have never seen them live. Did have tickets a year or so back but unfortunatly could not go, at the last minuite was needed else where…..
Nocturn, live double album with Bob Smith wailing the guitars…..awww Dear Prudence cover drives me nuts, slow Dive….the list is endless…..- did meet budgie in Camden, maybe Denmark Street, at a cafe bar, too young to speak as a little start struck at the time but he kindly bought me a coffee and said something about me playing more bass guitars….oh the fame gallery
Heleter Skelter…..here we go now, head phones on its, 4am on a school night, work in a few hours…..live for the moment — turn it up……..
I found the ads on the bottom portion of your video to be very annoying. Please get rid of them. I call the pants jeans or bluejeans even though jeans now come in several colors. I prefer to wear the blue color jeans.
yeah here’s another one, what does the term “86 that” mean and who came up with it ? got me thinking who made all those words for us to use? Like can’t we sort of say why can’t I make a word for us to use. Gor to go to Band camp now, See ya later Marina and sit them down
Hey, third request for this one and will be a pest until it is done………………………..86………………..I will 86 that or he was 86 yesterday. Meaning, fired, cut, removed, discarded..where is this come from?????????? Come, throw and Alaskan a bone
here we go, Okay, a while back Susane Sommers, was like talking about the show she was on, (Threes Company), she was watching herself on the program and said that she felt she was the person that sort of got the term “jiggle TV” started. What does the term “jiggle TV” mean? thanks
james .. i’ll copy here a post i made for Fianchetto a couple of threads ago …
this is what i’m using …
working backwards …
Ideally, the video file for YouTube would be:
mp4 container
- aac audio compression
- h264 video compression
this is produced (from an array of image files and a hiQ music mp3) using
* VirtualDubMod (free):
- – (read in images and compress to h264), (read in mp3), (wrap in avi)
* Super(c) (free):
- – (read in avi), (stream through h264), (compress mp3 to aac), (wrap in mp4)
i need to use two, because Super(c) fails to take an array of image files properly, so i need to use VirtualDubMod first.
artwork:
* (old) Macromedia Flash 8 – which is userful for coordinating animaiton of various parts of a scene … but this package is crippled if i have a sophisticated structure and want to generate an array of individual images (for further processing) rather than a direct swf file.
* (old) Macromedia Fireworks – combined bitmap and vector image package – scriptable using javascript.
* Paintshop Pro – bitmap image package – scriptable using Python. – this is central to messing with, and integrating images … so you need to be able to elementary Python scripting .. i mean .. *really* elementary .. just enough to do a for loop. (to read through a list of filenames – you can do a “batch” process that’ll do it for you, but you wont be able to change the parameters of the visual effects as the files are manipulated- if yo usee what i mean)
ps .. FL studio is (i think) a brilliant music prog … it’s pretty easy to make the first steps and easy to doodle around in.
way back i tried a whole slew of music progs, and for most of them you couldnt even start before you’d read through massive manuals .. i dont think ive had to look any info up for FL studio yet – so far it’s all doodling and hacking and tweaking and experimenting.
http://www.genome.gov/15515096 this is contraversial research because it dosen’t explain why anmial organs and limbs are not compatable as donor tissue for transplants in humans.
being a political junkie i’ve been watching a lot of campaign coverage here in the u.s. i’ve noticed that many of the signs at obama’s rallies read, “change” in large letters and then underneath, “we need” in smaller letters. so it reads, “change, we need” bugs the hell out of me, sounds like yoda speak. wanted your opinion yoda and just wondered if anyone else had noticed.
buzzword, when McCain started using “Change” as his slogan as well, then Obama responded with “Change we need”… so it doesn’t read “Change, we need”…. therefore it’s not Yoda speak
Hello philolgist on whom I have an enormous crush ! I was messing around on youtube and I discovered a show (in many different segments) called “The Spiritual Side Of Hollywood”… And for the first time in my life I wondered whether there’s a connection between the words ‘ritual’ and ’spiritual’. I actually would guess that there’s not, being that the latter comes from the word, spirit. So, where does ritual come from, Marina ? And what about the words that have -spir in them. Is it true that they are connected to the concept of breathing? Respire-to breathe, Inspire-to breathe in, Expire-to breathe out (for the last time). Does the word, spirit have a connection to those?
You make me breathe in (i.e., you inspire me), Marina ! mmmMMMMMMWAH!!
Marina, were you a model at some point? You keep showing these photos of yourself in your videos that look like the work of a professional photographer.
I took some pictures a year or so ago with some photographers but never did anything with them.. that’s why I throw them in the videos! The photographers were good, that’s why they look professional
It’s difficult to tell without seeing the two side by side, but it’s certainly not worse than before.
Is it my imagination, or has it made the smilies slightly larger too?

Looking gorgeous as ever, Marina. Jeans, of course, being American, even though I live in Canada, ‘jeans’ is what most Americans use, normally with the ‘blue’ in front of them.
Hmmm… green background…?
Not a bad idea… can I steal that idea
away from you? After all, you’re already
a “made man” with the blue border n’all
Mine is still all pasty lookin’; except for
the baby blue background we all get
when making replies….
…or maybe orange would look cool…
hmmm….it’s not up to me
I think it comes from comic strips. A “Z” or series of “Z”s in a speech balloon typically indicates sleep. I could be wrong, though. I’m sure Marina will set me straight.
I guess that hint helped… I was trying to make it sound like her father was more famous, without narrowing it down too much to a dead give away.
I was expecting a list of other possiblities from you guys.
It was easy for me as there is a big HooHah going on right now, in my area, because Donald Trump is trying to develop a large golf/holiday complex adjacent or on a local area of special scientific interest, against much local opposition.
HA!! Well as i want to be TA (thats a good idea for an icon too) I wont do anything to irritate my dear teacher. Therefore I shall answer you directly..
1 Why yes, indeed it does mess up the layout of this website.
2 You want to find where it is? Here is a clue. It’s on the test page.
Well I just got into town today
To find my girl who’s gone away
She took the Greyhound at the General Store
I searched myself I searched the town
When I finally did sit down
I find myself no wiser than before
She said we couldn’t do no wrong
No other love could be so strong
She locked up my heart in her bottom drawer
Now she took my heart she took my keys
From in my old blue dungarees
And I’ll never go to Texas anymore
[Chorus:] Now my baby’s gone I don’t know what to do
She took my love and walked right out the door
And if I ever find that girl I know one thing for sure
I’m gonna give her something like she never had before
I took her love at seventeen
A little late these days it seems
But they said heaven is well worth waiting for
I took her word I took it all
Beneath the sign that said “U-haul”
She left angels hangin round for more
[Chorus]
I thought I had it all sewn up
Our love, a plot, a pick-up truck
But folks said she was after something more
I never did quite understand
All that talk about rockin’ bands
But they just rolled my doll right out the door
Oh yeah, they just rolled my doll right out the door!
I duno how to spell it but it sounds like “paraphanelious”, George Cloonney used it twice in the movie “O brother Where Art thou”, This is the only place I have heard this word, so after a bit, could ya check it out. He is like refering to himself in this store when he is confronting his wife about her new “bo”, (slang for boyfriend I think)
Is this the word: par·a·phil·i·a (pār’ə-fĭl’ē-ə, -fēl’yə) Pronunciation Key
n. Any of a group of psychosexual disorders characterized by sexual fantasies, feelings, or activities involving a nonhuman object, a nonconsenting partner such as a child, or pain or humiliation of oneself or one’s partner. Also called sexual deviation

I do subscribe to some of M’s favorite as well but if that where so wouldn’t get like six or more repeats, one for every subscription/favorite match up, If this is what you’re talking about.
I LOVE THAT!! one of my subscribers has done that too.. whenever he comments it goes through twice.. more subscribers and comments!! what a great glitch!
hehe , call me whatever you want, i’d like to change my name but if i did no one would know who i am I’m kinda stuck to this name for my entire internet life
My real name is no real option, it’s really stupid and in english it sounds like a girls name
so was it the favorite subscription that made it look liek you were subscribed twice?
how bout the word chipmonk, i remeber these people from China doing a dictionary on our words and they were going to sell it in China. They thought at first it was a little monkey. Ah, it consist of two words chip and monk, go figure
No… i am still looking ….. give me another few hours and i will have found it I WILL find it… If something like this happens I will latch on.. I will find it.. Unless it gets to about 1 am.
Also you deleted the 5th level comment.. Urm have you noticed the 20 blockqouotes….. and the fun that i had with foxbow when we did 11th level comments? lol.. any ways.. must get looking
5th level? Please fill me in, I like a challenge. Better make it simple one, as I don’t know what your talking about. Just give me a brief background and a couple of clues. Like all good piggies, I like rooting around.
HI!
I have a word to request
Please can you do the word ONOMATOPEA (sorry spelling is probably wrong) my youtube channel name is a7xbiggestfaneva and here is the link to my channel http://uk.youtube.com/user/a7xbiggestfaneva
Please tell me what you think of my vids that would be great
Anyway, so please do the word Onomatopea.
Thanks and have a great day
Wow marina!! i have never known you to comment so much on 1 thread.. Yes i am mad at foxbow.. He has to be the best at everything and it has wound me up.. it doent help that i have been trying to find this picture for about an hour
You were so busy showing off your hacking skills, I had to put you to the test. There is a picture that I made specifically for you waiting for you… but I don’t think even foxbow can find it now
Marina, Since I got that clown expelled for trying to send fellow classmates to that other website, Is there any chance of getting that autographed picture of you!!!!!
If I’m a good student! Please?
I will keep my eye out for any more class clown trying to send
us some other school, like there could ever be a better teacher than you anywhere! yea hello!!!
your #1 student
Bobby
Dear совершенная Marina, You posted your video late at night when I’m not on the PC. (After 10:00 PM Saturday night!) This favors your students in other, foreign time zones. I thought you would favor ne because I live in the same time zone as you.
In the past, I used the term “dungarees” to describe pants with a front bib and two straps that went over the shoulders, but they are properly called “overalls.”
For your homework, I always called such trousers “Levi’s”, which are a brand name, They were produced in San Francisco by Levi Strauss and Co., which started in 1853. Their pants were of the best quality and they had a distinctive red tab near the right rear pocket. “Levi’s” were the only type I would buy, but the generic name for such trousers is “blue jeans.” Until a few years ago, they were still made in San Francisco, but now, “Levi’s” are made overseas. I think you look good in Levi’s. Your dear student, seesixcm6
“In the past, I used the term “dungarees” to describe pants with a front bib and two straps that went over the shoulders,”
Yeah – that is still what “dungarees” means to me as well – specifically something you’d wear for work and which gives at least some protection for the clothing on your upper body – but unlike overalls which also cover your arms too.
i use the word,”jeans” the french version. since i’m in the u.s.a. i guess i should call them “freedom pants”. now someone explain why blue is the common color?
indigo… dungarees were first made in India, where indigo was also being produced on a large scale. A cheap and durable cloth, dyed with cheap local indigo, was sold to sailors… the rest is tradition.
I just call them jeans. I do hear denims used often though.
As of yesterday, I have decided to try and learn the russian language. So far, my favourite phrase is ‘Ya ne govoryu po-russki’. I couldn’t resist learning that phrase
It’s going to take a while for me to learn the alphabet and the words and pronunciation, but it should be fun
Another interesting and educational video of your usual quality (great).
I’ve recently heard of an interesting phrase used to refer to instances such as overloading/filling stuffing containers i.e. “LOADED TO THE GILLS”. I’ve been thinking, since a fish breaths via its mouth as the oxygenated water intake, which channels water to the gills which is then expelled out of the gills slits aft of them. So if you stuff say a metal rod into the mouth, you’ll eventually end up poking it through the gill slits?
I’ll be very grateful if you can get to the bottom of this mystery. Thanks.
As others have noted I usually refer to the material as denim, and the trousers as jeans ( or blue jeans ). I don’t remember if it was exactly the same before I joined the Navy because there the enlisted work uniform was called dungarees, including the denim trousers and a chambray shirt. For a while they switched materials but the uniform was still called dungarees. The Navy also went through various stages of allowing and not allowing the work uniform to be worn off base, and sometimes even allowing short errands when worn en route to home or to work.
A friend of mine ( who had his uniform given to him before bootcamp and thus did not understand the rules ) stopped at a McDonalds in his brand new dungarees on the way home and was nabbed by the Shore Patrol. When asked how long he had been in the Navy he replied ‘All day, sir’. THey let him go with a warning.
There was also a quaint custom called ‘dungaree liberty’ in which a party of sailors arrived at a designated location to adjust a few attitudes.
I like that understated phrase, “to adjust a few attitudes”.
In the Royal Navy they use the more succinct verb, “to pictureise” i.e. to put someone in the picture.
I know the legend, and several variations on it. But no matter who gets preserved, the end of the story is rather grim, and funny. So, does your version of the tale involve Admiral Nelson?
Yes, I agree. Considering that Halloween is coming, maybe you should share the tale. Some may be disturbed, but others may get a good laugh… and learn a bit of Navy slang from days gone by.
Although slightly surprised at the Brits for using what I call ‘verbification’ ( taking a perfectly good noun and twisting it into a verb ) I agree ‘pictureise’ ( sp? ) does succinctly cover the concept, and I like it.
In my few dealings with Brits I have found they never sought out a fight, but never walked away from one without coming out on top first.
Dezdkado: I never heard ‘tapping the Admiral’; please explain.
I really should let Bob spin this yarn, as it is his countryman… but alright
Here’s a brief version: During the most critically significant naval engagement of the Napoleonic Wars, the Battle of Trafalgar (1805), the Admiral Lord Horatio Nelson was mortally wounded. Though fighting a combined force of French and Spanish fleets, the British were victorious, securing their supremacy of the sea. Wanting to honor Lord Nelson with a hero’s burial in England, and not at sea or within the enemy’s soil, the officers had Lord Nelson’s body secretly placed in a cask of brandy, and placed in the cargo hold… to preserve him for the voyage home.
Well, sailors being sailors, and not knowing that Lord Nelson was below deck, pickled in brandy, would sneak into the cargo hold and pilfer sips of brandy… until Lord Nelson’s presence was discovered.
Since that time, sneaking a quick drink (particularly alcoholic), has been referred to as “tapping the Admiral.”
Marines have similar restrictions, being within the Dept of the Navy. We were only allowed to wear cammies off base if we were on the way to or from work, picking up our kids, or getting gasoline. Army and Air Force gents wear their utility uniforms everywhere.
I know the legend, and several variations on it. But no matter who gets preserved, the end of the story is rather grim, and funny. So, does your version of the tale involve Admiral Nelson?
True, but to tell the truth, whenever the restrictions were loosened, some twit would abuse the privilege and screw it up for all. MAYBE ( I honestly don’t know ) they ( Army and Air Force ) used peer pressure to better advantage and were thus able to keep the privilege.
On my second ship we had a Marine Captain who always wore a dress uniform unless we were underway, and then he always wore cammies. Every morning underway I’d make it a point to gently kick his chair at the breakfast table and then I’d apologize saying ‘I’m sorry, I didn’t see you there.’ He’d grumble but he’d always crack a smile ( which is why I kept doing it ). We had a good working relationship and the Marines tolerated me better after I finished the Marine Corps Marathon my first year on board. Semper Fi from a squid.
My maternal Grandfather, my hero, served in the USN for 3 decades from just prior to WWII to the Vietnam War. You’ll never hear me speak evil of the Navy. Anchors Aweigh from a jarhead.
The only thing that annoyed me about the Navy was the rank insignia for Chiefs… from a distance the shiny stuff made them look like officers… which gave them a good laugh when I saluted in ignorance. How long was your mum a WAVE, annuder?
What it really ( or really SHOULD ) come down to is when the bullets are flying we ARE all on the same side. Everything else is cosmetic.
Believe it or not, I enlisted in the Navy to fly. Airmen in the Air Force can become crewmembers but usually not before putting in several years on the ground. THere was ( 35 years ago ) one enlisted rating that required flight crew status from the get-go ( AW or Aviation Anti-Submarine Warfare Equipment Operator – it took a week of ‘A’ school just to learn to say that ). A friend had joined and told me about it and I joined too – in the middle of the VIet Nam years. I will continue to tease Marines, Soldiers, Air Force, and Coasties, but with a smiloe in my heart as well as on my face and hope they will return the favor in kind. The best Coastie hit I ever heard was from a Coast Guard Chief.
As far as the insignia for the Navy Chiefs; look for the gold band on a combination cap, or for the second insignia on a piss-cutter. Please remember that few Chiefs or Officers had a say in the system to be used.
Segue: thank you for the explanation of ‘Tapping the Admiral”.
A salute to ALL men and women serving or who have honorably served in the Armed Forces. ( From a retired O3E ).

YOUR #1 STUDENT,
Chickenh0use
Good Morning to the best teacher in the whole wide world!
There is only one word to describe jeans and only one. And that word is HOT!!! That is of coarse if you are wearing them.
Teacher I know I am your #1 student and I hate to jeopardize that by being a Rat, but there is this kid in our class that goes by the name of
Sbuddy26 and I think he should be expelled. On the lesson, could care less on Oct 14th 2008 at 5:01pm he posted OKAY, I don’t see what is so special about her,She is kinda slow up there. You Guys should check out http://WWW.HOTFORPROFITS.COM Much Smarter and Down to Earth Chic There. Now I believe this calls for some kind of reprimand at least, How dare he try to bring the class
moral down! Maybe now I can get that autographed picture of you?
If not, I still got your back.
Your # 1 student,
chickenh0use
Yea I hear ya, I don’t know who this Sbuddy69 is but he has to be blind as a bat or time to upgrade to a better monitor!
I think this calls for action from our foxy teacher, she needs to expel his ass!
All imitation points to the real McCoy… the more people try to imitate Marina, whether for fun or not, the better Marina looks. The worse that this lady is perceived, the more radiant Marina appears. Take a deep breath, gents.
…..while picking up by date, a pretty blond girl, at her house for the first time, I noticed all her sisters as well as the mother were all beautiful,
After meeting the family of six gorgeous sisters I turn to my date complementing, “You have good genes.” She looked down at her pants, looked back at me, replied, “thanks, I just washed them.”
We need to find a very beautiful actress for the lead role…
…..let me think who could we use….Oh yea! I got it,
but you will have to audition just like everyone else
I had always referred to denim as the fabric from which jeans were made, while dungarees were work trousers made from a differently woven, but similarly durable material.
My point is he gets to romp around with Marina naked and can jump into her purse. She feeds him. Walks him and takes care of him. Plays with him. Oh no! Yep, I’m jealous of Kobe! I wana be Kobe! This is bad! I need help! I’m going to find a couch and lie down.
i use “jeans”…it’s been years since i’ve heard “dungarees,” and, well, i’ve never heard “denim jeans” – just “denim” used to describe the cloth out of which jeans are made.
In sporting events I have heard the word “schneid” used when describing a team or a player that has not won a game or a contest or scored a point, and then does just that. I have heard it used in the context of “it was finally good to get off the schneid” I have found an old term used in gin meaning cut in this form “schneidered”
As you were distracted by an excellent example, as well as Marina’s form, you are duly excused from all activities outside of drooling with a glazed look.

I don’t like Maltese’s but kobe is pretty darn cute. Dungarees is one of those words I think are really fun to say =D hotforprofits looks amazing in jeans. Marina should wear them more often.
jeans…
Jeans in English, and Blugi in Romanian. I guess Blugi comes from Blue Jeans, but it refers to Jeans of all colors. Hm..
Jeans, unless I was buying just the material Jeans are made of, then I would use the word Denium.

Maybe they were seperated at birth?

so is it like saying an atm machine if I say demin jeans?
Marina, you should call your jeans Sherwin Williams, because, obviously, someone paints them on.
The pant I wear are jeans, Levi’s to be specific, but my jacket is a denim one.

Hey HFWs, how you all doing?
Jeans is more at home however Denim as with Dungarees have been known. Use to own a pair of Dungarees with many top pockets to fill up with essential items, great for clubbing but proved impossible when in need of a pee real quick when slighty intoxicated, those button politics! – so had to give those up
Dungiees, I call them, were most comfy even though with a visual look of the tele-tubbies taking hold 
Uh-Oh!!

Stanley K with clock work orange is awesome, one of the best ever films. Think it was banned over here in the uK for ages until CH4 shook the massive to wake up and party! Stanley K is a legend, with my fav horror film as mentioned, The Shining, by another SK, Stephen King….now there’s a thing!
i think it was the death of wassisname … the director .. kubrik … that allowed for the release of the flick in the UK.

here we go, Okay, a while back Susane Sommers, was like talking about the show she was on, (Threes Company), she was watching herself on the program and said that she felt she was the person that sort of got the term “jiggle TV” started. What does the term “jiggle TV” mean? thanks
james .. i’ll copy here a post i made for Fianchetto a couple of threads ago …
this is what i’m using …
working backwards …
Ideally, the video file for YouTube would be:
mp4 container
- aac audio compression
- h264 video compression
this is produced (from an array of image files and a hiQ music mp3) using
* VirtualDubMod (free):
- – (read in images and compress to h264), (read in mp3), (wrap in avi)
* Super(c) (free):
- – (read in avi), (stream through h264), (compress mp3 to aac), (wrap in mp4)
i need to use two, because Super(c) fails to take an array of image files properly, so i need to use VirtualDubMod first.
artwork:
* (old) Macromedia Flash 8 – which is userful for coordinating animaiton of various parts of a scene … but this package is crippled if i have a sophisticated structure and want to generate an array of individual images (for further processing) rather than a direct swf file.
* (old) Macromedia Fireworks – combined bitmap and vector image package – scriptable using javascript.
* Paintshop Pro – bitmap image package – scriptable using Python. – this is central to messing with, and integrating images … so you need to be able to elementary Python scripting .. i mean .. *really* elementary .. just enough to do a for loop. (to read through a list of filenames – you can do a “batch” process that’ll do it for you, but you wont be able to change the parameters of the visual effects as the files are manipulated- if yo usee what i mean)
music:
* FL studio
ps .. FL studio is (i think) a brilliant music prog … it’s pretty easy to make the first steps and easy to doodle around in.
way back i tried a whole slew of music progs, and for most of them you couldnt even start before you’d read through massive manuals .. i dont think ive had to look any info up for FL studio yet – so far it’s all doodling and hacking and tweaking and experimenting.

No
Well that sucks. I was gone all day and missed the party. I think I’ll do like Mijj and and not watch videos for a while.
being a political junkie i’ve been watching a lot of campaign coverage here in the u.s. i’ve noticed that many of the signs at obama’s rallies read, “change” in large letters and then underneath, “we need” in smaller letters. so it reads, “change, we need” bugs the hell out of me, sounds like yoda speak. wanted your opinion yoda and just wondered if anyone else had noticed.
example of democratic yoda speak.
buzzword, when McCain started using “Change” as his slogan as well, then Obama responded with “Change we need”… so it doesn’t read “Change, we need”…. therefore it’s not Yoda speak
oh, i thought obama was a jedi.
hey, Cap … what happened to you?

Hello philolgist on whom I have an enormous crush
! I was messing around on youtube and I discovered a show (in many different segments) called “The Spiritual Side Of Hollywood”… And for the first time in my life I wondered whether there’s a connection between the words ‘ritual’ and ’spiritual’. I actually would guess that there’s not, being that the latter comes from the word, spirit. So, where does ritual come from, Marina 
? And what about the words that have -spir in them. Is it true that they are connected to the concept of breathing? Respire-to breathe, Inspire-to breathe in, Expire-to breathe out (for the last time). Does the word, spirit have a connection to those?
! mmmMMMMMMWAH!!
You make me breathe in (i.e., you inspire me), Marina
Marina, were you a model at some point? You keep showing these photos of yourself in your videos that look like the work of a professional photographer.
yeah! seriously! their r some photos where u look like ur actually a model. it makes sense, because u have been on commercials, too!
She was a model
I took some pictures a year or so ago with some photographers but never did anything with them.. that’s why I throw them in the videos! The photographers were good, that’s why they look professional
Strongly disagree.
The pictures look fantastic because the model gave the photographers an awful lot to work with.
I knew it, I knew it, I knew it… I KNEW IT!!!

where does the phrase “Lilly Livered” originate from, and is it “hereditary” and is it accompanied by a slight cause of “yellow fever”?

Hot Dog by Led Zep
Well I just got into town today
To find my girl who’s gone away
She took the Greyhound at the General Store
I searched myself I searched the town
When I finally did sit down
I find myself no wiser than before
She said we couldn’t do no wrong
No other love could be so strong
She locked up my heart in her bottom drawer
Now she took my heart she took my keys
From in my old blue dungarees
And I’ll never go to Texas anymore
[Chorus:] Now my baby’s gone I don’t know what to do
She took my love and walked right out the door
And if I ever find that girl I know one thing for sure
I’m gonna give her something like she never had before
I took her love at seventeen
A little late these days it seems
But they said heaven is well worth waiting for
I took her word I took it all
Beneath the sign that said “U-haul”
She left angels hangin round for more
[Chorus]
I thought I had it all sewn up
Our love, a plot, a pick-up truck
But folks said she was after something more
I never did quite understand
All that talk about rockin’ bands
But they just rolled my doll right out the door
Oh yeah, they just rolled my doll right out the door!
Here is the song Hot Dog
TY che volet! That was cool,have’nt heard it in a while.Even better,there was a link to Gallows Pole!!,one of the old time favorites of mine!

In the past, I used the term “dungarees” to describe pants with a front bib and two straps that went over the shoulders, but they are properly called “overalls.”
For your homework, I always called such trousers “Levi’s”, which are a brand name, They were produced in San Francisco by Levi Strauss and Co., which started in 1853. Their pants were of the best quality and they had a distinctive red tab near the right rear pocket. “Levi’s” were the only type I would buy, but the generic name for such trousers is “blue jeans.” Until a few years ago, they were still made in San Francisco, but now, “Levi’s” are made overseas. I think you look good in Levi’s.
dear совершенная marina))) lOl
“In the past, I used the term “dungarees” to describe pants with a front bib and two straps that went over the shoulders,”
Yeah – that is still what “dungarees” means to me as well – specifically something you’d wear for work and which gives at least some protection for the clothing on your upper body – but unlike overalls which also cover your arms too.

Sorry!
i use the word,”jeans” the french version. since i’m in the u.s.a. i guess i should call them “freedom pants”. now someone explain why blue is the common color?
indigo… dungarees were first made in India, where indigo was also being produced on a large scale. A cheap and durable cloth, dyed with cheap local indigo, was sold to sailors… the rest is tradition.
freedom pants? so you wear the baggy jeans?

Marina. Looking on the video test page which one do you use? I think the smart tube hq looks best..
Miss Orlova,
Another interesting and educational video of your usual quality (great).
I’ve recently heard of an interesting phrase used to refer to instances such as overloading/filling stuffing containers i.e. “LOADED TO THE GILLS”. I’ve been thinking, since a fish breaths via its mouth as the oxygenated water intake, which channels water to the gills which is then expelled out of the gills slits aft of them. So if you stuff say a metal rod into the mouth, you’ll eventually end up poking it through the gill slits?
I’ll be very grateful if you can get to the bottom of this mystery. Thanks.
You know you havent done the word salami yet
my friend told me it was originaly from somewere in arabia or smt but thats only because hes egyptian i always thought it was italianno
anyway it would be nice if you find out for me the origin of the word

Дорогая Марина Орлова!

А это мой Видео_Вопрос http://ru.youtube.com/watch?v=Qjh1KL016Ws
Спасибо!
Pavel,
I’m worried that the video may not make for an interesting story. Unless I attempted a moonwalk… but the story itself is pretty boring.
OK)) no problem but could you reply in russian please)) для тех кто пишет сообзения на русском!
As others have noted I usually refer to the material as denim, and the trousers as jeans ( or blue jeans ). I don’t remember if it was exactly the same before I joined the Navy because there the enlisted work uniform was called dungarees, including the denim trousers and a chambray shirt. For a while they switched materials but the uniform was still called dungarees. The Navy also went through various stages of allowing and not allowing the work uniform to be worn off base, and sometimes even allowing short errands when worn en route to home or to work.
A friend of mine ( who had his uniform given to him before bootcamp and thus did not understand the rules ) stopped at a McDonalds in his brand new dungarees on the way home and was nabbed by the Shore Patrol. When asked how long he had been in the Navy he replied ‘All day, sir’. THey let him go with a warning.
There was also a quaint custom called ‘dungaree liberty’ in which a party of sailors arrived at a designated location to adjust a few attitudes.
Thanks for this stroll down Memory Lane.
I like that understated phrase, “to adjust a few attitudes”.
In the Royal Navy they use the more succinct verb, “to pictureise” i.e. to put someone in the picture.
Bob, have you ever heard the phrase “tapping the Admiral?”
I know the legend, and several variations on it. But no matter who gets preserved, the end of the story is rather grim, and funny. So, does your version of the tale involve Admiral Nelson?
Yes, but I believe the legend is apocryphal.
Yes, I agree. Considering that Halloween is coming, maybe you should share the tale. Some may be disturbed, but others may get a good laugh… and learn a bit of Navy slang from days gone by.
Although slightly surprised at the Brits for using what I call ‘verbification’ ( taking a perfectly good noun and twisting it into a verb ) I agree ‘pictureise’ ( sp? ) does succinctly cover the concept, and I like it.
In my few dealings with Brits I have found they never sought out a fight, but never walked away from one without coming out on top first.
Dezdkado: I never heard ‘tapping the Admiral’; please explain.
I really should let Bob spin this yarn, as it is his countryman… but alright
Here’s a brief version: During the most critically significant naval engagement of the Napoleonic Wars, the Battle of Trafalgar (1805), the Admiral Lord Horatio Nelson was mortally wounded. Though fighting a combined force of French and Spanish fleets, the British were victorious, securing their supremacy of the sea. Wanting to honor Lord Nelson with a hero’s burial in England, and not at sea or within the enemy’s soil, the officers had Lord Nelson’s body secretly placed in a cask of brandy, and placed in the cargo hold… to preserve him for the voyage home.
Well, sailors being sailors, and not knowing that Lord Nelson was below deck, pickled in brandy, would sneak into the cargo hold and pilfer sips of brandy… until Lord Nelson’s presence was discovered.
Since that time, sneaking a quick drink (particularly alcoholic), has been referred to as “tapping the Admiral.”
All day… very funny
Marines have similar restrictions, being within the Dept of the Navy. We were only allowed to wear cammies off base if we were on the way to or from work, picking up our kids, or getting gasoline. Army and Air Force gents wear their utility uniforms everywhere.
Yes I have. Do you know the story behind it?
I know the legend, and several variations on it. But no matter who gets preserved, the end of the story is rather grim, and funny. So, does your version of the tale involve Admiral Nelson?
True, but to tell the truth, whenever the restrictions were loosened, some twit would abuse the privilege and screw it up for all. MAYBE ( I honestly don’t know ) they ( Army and Air Force ) used peer pressure to better advantage and were thus able to keep the privilege.
On my second ship we had a Marine Captain who always wore a dress uniform unless we were underway, and then he always wore cammies. Every morning underway I’d make it a point to gently kick his chair at the breakfast table and then I’d apologize saying ‘I’m sorry, I didn’t see you there.’ He’d grumble but he’d always crack a smile ( which is why I kept doing it ). We had a good working relationship and the Marines tolerated me better after I finished the Marine Corps Marathon my first year on board. Semper Fi from a squid.
My maternal Grandfather, my hero, served in the USN for 3 decades from just prior to WWII to the Vietnam War. You’ll never hear me speak evil of the Navy. Anchors Aweigh from a jarhead.
my mother was a WAVE…salute!
The only thing that annoyed me about the Navy was the rank insignia for Chiefs… from a distance the shiny stuff made them look like officers… which gave them a good laugh when I saluted in ignorance. How long was your mum a WAVE, annuder?
What it really ( or really SHOULD ) come down to is when the bullets are flying we ARE all on the same side. Everything else is cosmetic.
Believe it or not, I enlisted in the Navy to fly. Airmen in the Air Force can become crewmembers but usually not before putting in several years on the ground. THere was ( 35 years ago ) one enlisted rating that required flight crew status from the get-go ( AW or Aviation Anti-Submarine Warfare Equipment Operator – it took a week of ‘A’ school just to learn to say that ). A friend had joined and told me about it and I joined too – in the middle of the VIet Nam years. I will continue to tease Marines, Soldiers, Air Force, and Coasties, but with a smiloe in my heart as well as on my face and hope they will return the favor in kind. The best Coastie hit I ever heard was from a Coast Guard Chief.
As far as the insignia for the Navy Chiefs; look for the gold band on a combination cap, or for the second insignia on a piss-cutter. Please remember that few Chiefs or Officers had a say in the system to be used.
Segue: thank you for the explanation of ‘Tapping the Admiral”.
A salute to ALL men and women serving or who have honorably served in the Armed Forces. ( From a retired O3E ).

Excellent, Bob… nice references.
I do love this story.
OMG MARINA, FORGIVE ME BUT I JUST CHECKED OUT THAT LINK FROM THAT ,WELL YOU KNOW WHO, WHAT A SKANK THAT WANNA BE IS! SHE COULD NEVER OLD A CANDLE TO YOU. i ONLY MADE IT THROUGH 39 SECONDS OF A SEVEN MINUTE CLIP.
OH THE HUMANITY!
YOUR #1 STUDENT,
Chickenh0use
Good Morning to the best teacher in the whole wide world!
There is only one word to describe jeans and only one. And that word is HOT!!! That is of coarse if you are wearing them.
Teacher I know I am your #1 student and I hate to jeopardize that by being a Rat, but there is this kid in our class that goes by the name of
Sbuddy26 and I think he should be expelled. On the lesson, could care less on Oct 14th 2008 at 5:01pm he posted OKAY, I don’t see what is so special about her,She is kinda slow up there. You Guys should check out http://WWW.HOTFORPROFITS.COM Much Smarter and Down to Earth Chic There. Now I believe this calls for some kind of reprimand at least, How dare he try to bring the class
moral down! Maybe now I can get that autographed picture of you?
If not, I still got your back.
Your # 1 student,
chickenh0use
OMG that woman is a total rip-off and she talks like such an airhead!
Fuckin stupid plastic bitch.
Yea I hear ya, I don’t know who this Sbuddy69 is but he has to be blind as a bat or time to upgrade to a better monitor!
I think this calls for action from our foxy teacher, she needs to expel his ass!
James, It’s a dude in drag
Really?? I didn’nt notice. I thought it was a fake and cheap hoe.
I think he has been expelled…the comment isnt there anymore
GOOD MAYBE NOW MARINA WILL REWARD ME SOMEHOW FOR
OUTING THAT RAT BASTARD, AND TRYING TO DISRUPT THE CLASS! a NICE AUTOGRAPHED PICTURE WOULD BE NICE!
The web design is great, but the content is annoying. I guess that the best that can be said is that imitation is a form of flattery.
But they have a transsexual for a teacher, that dude is out of his mind to say she is hotter than our teacher!
Not when you are being immitated by that silicone wasteground it isnt
All imitation points to the real McCoy… the more people try to imitate Marina, whether for fun or not, the better Marina looks. The worse that this lady is perceived, the more radiant Marina appears. Take a deep breath, gents.
oh god.. i sont know if you are playing with me now, Is it a boy or a girl?
…..while picking up by date, a pretty blond girl, at her house for the first time, I noticed all her sisters as well as the mother were all beautiful,
After meeting the family of six gorgeous sisters I turn to my date complementing, “You have good genes.” She looked down at her pants, looked back at me, replied, “thanks, I just washed them.”
Cute!
Did you read, Marina -The Halloween Movie I wrote in the Maverick lesson, under the pseudonym Detour 2 Frolic.
I read it.. very scary!
We need to find a very beautiful actress for the lead role…
…..let me think who could we use….Oh yea! I got it,
but you will have to audition just like everyone else

Wow three things which I thought were only two
I had always referred to denim as the fabric from which jeans were made, while dungarees were work trousers made from a differently woven, but similarly durable material.
Thanks for another terriffic lesson!
Nice morning music White Bird – It’s a Beautiful Day
Nice sound.
hello?
Marina has done a great video for your word request: [Hello]
is it me your looking for?
after watching Sammy Kershaw’s Baby’s Got Her Blue Jean On, i really, really think you need to do trampoline…
i imagine it would make for a bouncy lesson…
Dear teacher: (Kobe you’re a ham, one really “hotdog” and you know it):
Homework: I call mine Levi’s, Wrangler’s or Corduroy’s.
When I was very young they were Blue Jeans.
P.S. I’ve notice that Kobe wears nothing at all but his birthday suit in nearly all the videos.
yes, but the hair of the dog keeps ‘im safe…
The hair is for the friction.
My point is he gets to romp around with Marina naked and can jump into her purse.
She feeds him. 
Walks him and takes care of him. 
Plays with him. 
Oh no! 
Yep, I’m jealous of Kobe! 
I wana be Kobe! 
This is bad! 
I need help! 
I’m going to find a couch and lie down. 
hey, it’s a dog’s life…
and i’m danged jealous of it…

oh…i loved her from afar…
uber-hot
yeah, nietzsche was one hell of a dog, you know it.
LOL, Alex… I have to admit that Nietzsche was right
was dich nicht toetet macht dich… stark
However, looking at miss uber-hot here is an existential experience that is making me feel stronger… or at least making my jeans fit more tightly.
Hi Marina,
In sporting events I have heard the word “schneid” used when describing a team or a player that has not won a game or a contest or scored a point, and then does just that. I have heard it used in the context of “it was finally good to get off the schneid” I have found an old term used in gin meaning cut in this form “schneidered”
Thanks,
Chris

If you said “jeans” congrats.
You win.
For your prize watch you get to watch the lesson and the above video again.
You expect me to observe stuffed jeans and type perfect english at the same time?
As you were distracted by an excellent example, as well as Marina’s form, you are duly excused from all activities outside of drooling with a glazed look.
Wiggle.
