Grandfather’s Clock……….Historically, the notion of a unit of social evolution, and a similar term (from Greek mneme, “memory”), first appeared in 1904 in a work by the German Lamarckist biologist Richard Semon titled Die Mnemischen Empfindungen in ihren Beziehungen zu den Originalempfindungen (loosely translatable as “Memory-feelings in relation to original feelings”). According to the OED, the word mneme appears in English in 1921 in L. Simon’s translation of Semon’s book: The Mneme…………………[museum]…Some how that childhood song sounds better with Marina singing it

I make no lie…I really like that Henry Clay Work song you sing. From the University Encyclopedia, edited by the Chancellor of New York University(The Co-operative Publication Society)1902 …..it says Henry was an American song writer; born in Middletown, Conn., Oct.1, 1832. He was highly popular in three different classes of songs: of the War, as “Kingdom Comin’,” Wake Nicodemus.” “Babylon is Fallen,” “Marching Through Georgia”; of temperance, as “Father, Dear Father, Come Home with Me Now”; sentimental, as “My Grandfather’s Clock” and “Lily Dale.” He died in Hartford, Conn., June 8, 1884. Please more…MARINA……..sing more songs and thank you

Hey MARINA IS KEVJUMBA GONNA BE A YOUTUBE LIVE?
Let’s play some music.
EXTRA CREDIT: Looks like a number of people were guessing museum. The only thing that came to my mind, before, was Siren.
What do you mean, “guessing”?
{Indignant huffing}
It was intelligent deliberation and scientific reasoning.
A guy in a sports car got arrested for driving his car with no hub caps.
The charges were for ‘exposing his nuts’.
Dearest Marina,
Would love to know where the words

Thank you for your time!

Marina YouTube Live! love signal update!
Marina, we can’t be with you on the day so your precious students are providing you with a list of special secret love signals you can use to help you through your ordeal …
The use of each love signal, imbues you with a special magical power with qualities characteristic of that person.
saying “love” or doing a cartwheel (not decided which yet) :-> mijj (i thought i’d change the signal to me to something less demeaning)
r: “Gee, I wish they would serve a nice amaretto here, as it was reccommended to me by a very sweet friend [Fianchetto].” :-> Fianchetto
giving the finger :–> karl
twirling round :–> capman
blowing a kiss and a wink :–> melika
laffin’ :–> Che
breathin’ or a breathless sigh with a naughty smile and batting eyelashes :-> Dez
crossin’ your legs and showin’ your knees :-> seesixcm6
taking your eyes off the camera and glancing off to her left :-> Bob
touching your throat :-> bsomebody
blowing a kiss using both hands :-> originalistrick
playing with your hair :-> chickenh0use
saying: “This Amaretto is SO delightful and sweet, I’m glad my dear friend [Fianchetto] reccommended it to me, as he is sweeter still.”
Winking whenever you say HotForWords :-> ThoughtOnFire
drinking requirement:
whenever Marina gives a sign to someone, that person has a drink. (of some filthy powerful intoxicating beverage)
e.g. .. the magical power via Fianchetto’s love signal = the ability to generate smalltalk even while completely soused.
sweet talks in Russian :-> cufan71
cufan update:
sweet talks in Russian :-> cufan71
r: “Gee, I wish they would serve a nice amaretto here, as it was reccommended to me by a very sweet friend [Fianchetto].” :-> Fianchetto

mijj, It’s likely she’ll do this: “crossin’ your legs and showin’ your knees :-> seesixcm6″ I’d still be thrilled to see it!

Notes from An Inexperienced Chili Taster Named FRANK, who was visiting Texas:
“Recently I was honored to be selected as an outstanding Famous celebrity in Texas, to be a judge at a chili cook-off, because no one else wanted to do it. Also the original person called in sick at the last moment, and I happened to be standing there at the judge’s table asking directions to the beer wagon when the call came.
I was assured by the other two judges (Native Texans) that the chili wouldn’t be all that spicy, and besides they told me I could have free beer during the tasting, so I accepted.
Here are the scorecards from the event:
Chili # 1: Mike’s Maniac Mobster Monster Chili
JUDGE ONE: A little too heavy on tomato. Amusing kick.
JUDGE TWO: Nice, smooth tomato flavor. Very mild.
FRANK: Holy smokes, what the hell is this stuff? You could remove dried paint from your driveway with it. Took me two beers to put the flames out. Hope that’s the worst one. These hicks are crazy.
Chili # 2: Arthur’s Afterburner Chili
JUDGE ONE: Smoky (barbecue?) with a hint of pork. Slight Jalapeno tang.
JUDGE TWO: Exciting BBQ flavor, needs more peppers to be taken seriously.
FRANK: Keep this out of reach of children! I’m not sure what I am supposed to taste besides pain. I had to wave off two people who wanted to give me the Heimlich maneuver. Shoved my way to the front of the beer line.
Chili # 3: Fred’s Famous Burn Down the Barn Chili
JUDGE ONE: Excellent firehouse chili! Great kick. Needs more beans.
JUDGE TWO: A bean-less chili, a bit salty, good use of red peppers.
FRANK: This has got to be a joke. Call the EPA, I’ve located a uranium spill. My nose feels like I have been snorting Drano. Everyone knows the routine by now and got out of my way so I could make it to the beer wagon. Barmaid pounded me on the back; now my backbone is in the front part of my chest.
Chili # 4: Bubba’s Black Magic
JUDGE ONE: Black bean chili with almost no spice. Disappointing.
JUDGE TWO: Hint of lime in the black beans. Good side dish for fish or other mild foods, not much of a chili.
FRANK: I felt something scraping across my tongue, but was unable to taste it. Sally, the bar maid, was standing behind me with fresh refills so I wouldn’t have to dash over to see her.
Chili # 5: Linda’s Legal Lip Remover
JUDGE ONE: Meaty, strong chili. Cayenne peppers freshly ground, adding considerable kick. Very impressive.
JUDGE TWO: Chili using shredded beef; could use more tomato. Must admit the cayenne peppers make a strong statement.
FRANK: My ears are ringing, and I can no longer focus my eyes. I farted and four people behind me needed paramedics. The contestant seemed hurt when I told her that her chili had given me brain damage. Sally saved my tongue by pouring beer directly on it from a pitcher. Sort of irritates me that one of the other judges asked me to stop screaming.
Chili # 6: Vera’s Very Vegetarian Variety
JUDGE ONE: Thin yet bold vegetarian variety chili. Good balance of spice and peppers.
JUDGE TWO: The best yet. Aggressive use of peppers, onions, and garlic. Superb.
FRANK: My intestines are now a straight pipe filled with gaseous flames. No one seems inclined to stand behind me except Sally.
Chili # 7: Susan’s Screaming Sensation Chili
JUDGE ONE: A mediocre chili with too much reliance on canned peppers.
JUDGE TWO: Ho Hum, tastes as if the chef threw in canned chili peppers at the last moment. I should note that I am worried about Judge Number 3. He appears to be in a bit of distress.
FRANK: You could put a grenade in my mouth and pull the pin, and I wouldn’t feel it. I’ve lost the sight in one eye, and the world sounds like it is made of rushing water. My clothes are covered with chili which slid unnoticed out of my mouth at some point. Good! At autopsy they’ll know what killed me. I’ve decided to stop breathing, it’s too painful, and I’m not getting any oxygen anyway. If I need air I’ll just suck it in through the 4 inch hole in my stomach.
Chili # 8: Helen’s Mount Saint Chili
JUDGE ONE: A perfect ending, this is a nice blend chili, safe for all, not too bold but spicy enough to declare its existence.
JUDGE TWO: This final entry is a good, balanced chili, neither mild nor hot. Sorry to see that most of it was lost when Judge Number 3 fell and pulled the chili pot on top of himself.
FRANK: ————–(editor’s note: Judge #3 was unable to report)
Good one Dez.
I couldn’t type straight from laffing
cause … four people behind me needed paramedics.
An interesting study – “perception is relative”

Good one, Dez!
Does fire hurt the Devil?
(or is he just used to it?)
July 20, 1969, as commander of the Apollo 11 Lunar Module, Neil Armstrong was the first person to set foot on the moon. His first words after stepping on the moon, “That’s one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind”, were televised to Earth and heard by millions.
But just before he reentered the lander, he made the enigmatic remark: “Good luck, Mr. Gorsky.” Many people at NASA thought it was a casual remark concerning some rival Soviet Cosmonaut. However, upon checking, there was no
Gorsky in either the Russian or American space programs.
Over the years many people questioned Armstrong as to what the “Good luck Mr. Gorsky” statement meant, but Armstrong always just smiled.
On July 5, 1995, in Tampa Bay, Florida, while answering questions following a speech, a reporter brought up the 26 year old question to Armstrong.
This time he finally responded. Mr. Gorsky had died and so Neil Armstrong felt he could answer the question.
In 1938 when he was a kid in a small Midwest town, he was playing baseball with a friend in the backyard. His friend hit a fly ball, which landed in his neighbor’s yard by the bedroom windows. His neighbors were Mr. and Mrs. Gorsky.
As he leaned down to pick up the ball, young Armstrong heard Mrs.Gorsky shouting at Mr. Gorsky. “Sex! You want sex?! You’ll get sex when the kid next door walks on the moon!”
So, Mr. Gorsky got lucky… maybe a little late,
but he got some, eh?
Wow what a good story.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UGjfnt4gw5A
A woman takes a lover during the day while her husband is at work. Her 9 year old son comes home unexpectedly, sees them and hides in the bedroom closet to watch. The woman’s husband also comes home. She puts her lover in the closet, not realizing that the little boy is in there already.
The little boy says, “Dark in here.”
The man says, “Yes, it is.”
Boy – “I have a baseball.”
Man – “That’s nice.”
Boy – “Want to buy it?”
Man – “No, thanks.”
Boy – “My dad’s outside.”
Man – “OK, how much?”
Boy – “$250″
In the next few weeks, it happens again that the boy and the lover are in the closet together.
Boy – “Dark in here.”
Man – “Yes, it is.”
Boy – “I have a baseball glove.”
The lover remembering the last time, asks the boy, “How much?”
Boy – “$750″
Man – “Fine.”
A few days later, the father says to the boy, “Grab your glove, let’s go outside and have a game of catch.” The boy says, “I can’t, I sold my baseball and my glove.”
The father asks, “How much did you sell them for?”
Boy – “$1,000″
Father – “That’s terrible to overcharge your friends like that …that is way more than those two things cost. I’m going to take you to church and make you confess.”
They go to the church and the father makes the little boy sit in the confession booth and he closes the door.
The boy says, “Dark in here.”
The priest says, “Don’t start that crap again”.
Small town. I wonder if the priest got his money back….
payback baby
Marina Twittered: Got Russian Channel…”
Wow, how did you do that? Can you see Russia from your window also?
Maybe she’s just having a beer.
For some unknown reason, I have the urge to sing.
I wonder what I should do?
Sing a song of sixpence a pocket full of rye. For and twenty blackbirds backed in a pie. When the pie was opened the birds began to sing. Wasn’t that a dainty dish to set before the King
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-UCRWtl5Ls
Hey Marina,
You should have them introduce you with this song: Zombie Nation DJ Furax
How about this version with nice visuals
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5LW07FTJbI
Perfect.
That should be a Subway Commercial!
Dear Marina,
You are So Hot!
TOF
… then Ed McMahon, says, “How Hot! is she?”
She is sooooooo Hot! that you can ….. { fill in your blank }
Anyone got a bucket of water?
music,music,musicpurple power:-)
i bet there’s a twitter game in there somewhere .. {… brain churns …}
like that chain of friends thing …
lets see … (excluding marina from the chain) … can you find a chain of followees from yourself to a famous person of some sort or other – guess this’d have to be fixed. … cant think of anyone famous at the moment (cept for M, and she’s barred from consideration)
eg. famous person follows -> x follows -> …. follows -> mijj
i think in my case it’d be a mighty tortuous lengthy chain, if it’s possible at all.
how about backwards (sorry, all this was before ‘Twitter’ was invented) (not to mention totally twisted and weird…):
ME – I worked on the set of ‘The Crow’, where I met
Brandon Lee before he died, whose father,
Bruce Lee taught
Sharon Tate martial arts maneuvers for a film she made (‘The Wrecking Crew’) before she died at the hands of followers of
Charlie Manson who, for a time, was housed in a California State Prison (Corcoran) in a cell adjacent to that holding
Sirhan Bishara Sirhan, convicted of killing
Robert F. Kennedy, brother of
John F. Kennedy, 35th president of the United States
{.. folds arms ..}
gotta be twitter!!
.. and i’m pretty sure JFK doesn’t have a twitter account.
still .. pretty impressive that you’re almost friends with Charles Manson.
My karate instructor (Archi) spared with Bruce Lee several times when they both where in karate class together.
You said you worked on the set of the ‘Crow’. Was that fun? What other sets have you worked on?
Sounds like the six degrees of separation. I like your game idea!
lol .. looks like i found the first real application for twitter .. a game tracing how a particular famous and mighty have a follow trail ending up following the player.
we gotta think of a (or a set of) famous ppl wot use twitter. (M is banned from the trail)
Im still evaluating twitter. I have been trying to participate as much as I can. Im not finding it very useful yet. Even Marina was quoted that she was not very interested in participating in twitter. Twitter just seems to be a teen social networking tool. I like loopt.com but even that see limited use. It’s really only useful for very close friends that live near you.
Yea I like your game idea.
You should post the rules on a website and see how many people you can get to play. 
i’ve come to the conclusion it has a useful narrow application.
it’s no good as a medium for conveying information, or even conversation – the text slot is too small …
… i think it’s best use is for keeping tabs on and synchronising with people. You log and broadcast your incidental key moments and/or keep tabs on someone else’s key moments. – .. useful for keeping in synch with someone, but for useful info, need to use some other method.
.. for instance .. (this just occurred to me) ..
.. M is the kind of person who *could* make good use of it .. but isn’t really doing so .. i think things like the key moments in making and preparing her vids would be useful – and give us some sense of being priviledged onlookers into the process.
plus .. i’m a fan of M taking pictures of the food she’s eating (it has a pythonesque quality to it
) .. but she doesn’t seem to do that now. 
IT was designed for cellphone which have limited text character count. Also the servers are very slow and the system goes down often. It’s basically a toy for some. I wouldn’t even use it for priority or emergency communications as some organizations do. Yea I see it could be better used for Hollywood stars. Makes fans feel as if they are getting personal text messages from their favorite stars.
or for pure personal tabs…
—
got on train
—
at the airport
—
boarding plane
—
arrived
… etc
———-
but for general broadcasting to collections of followers who dont really care what you’re doing? … nah .. i guess that’s the teen angst application .. see how many follwers you cna get.
i mean (above) .. pure personal tabs for family and close friends for meeting and so forth
ok … time for another tarot card for HFW ..
.. the Sun ..
the image: two chldren at innocent play on a sunny hill.
the central card. the heart card. where all things are in dynamic balance.
position 6 in the tree.
manifested in the four elements as:
pleasure, science, success, victory.

Speaking of the Sun, Here comes the Sun
Now that’s what I call a song, son.
Son of a gun, sunshine.
Marina is a psychic medium, she is channeling a Russian :-{))
have you seen rosie around recently? … i seem to remember you got on pretty well. I miss her antics.
I have another request, I would like to know the origin of the word HEY. There seems to be no translation of it, just one of those words that crosses language barriers. Is it even a real word in any language?
Let’s take a straw vote.
M has twittered “Got russian channel” …
… what on earth is she talking about? … she’s been signing all those hundreds of calenders .. has the stress caused her to believe her pen is suddenly picking up a russian radio staion?
… or what?
In our local cable TV service, they offer a Russian TV channel by satellite from Moscow. Maybe she can now see some news and images from Moscow.
Then she’ll get homesick, return to her Motherland and resume a distinguished teaching career and leave me in the lurch!
she might take us with her.
Where exactly is this lurch of yours?
Lurch.
Temple of the Muses
Sorry
`MUSEUM`
Which originally meant (Temple Of The Gods)
please give us the origin of the word “philologist”
Marina has done this one already… check it out, here…
http://www.hotforwords.com/2007/03/02/intro-to-philology/
I think that was the very first one…
hey! … how does “bemused” fit into the muse/music/museum thing?
From the Online Etymology Dictionary –
Bemuse: 1735, “to make utterly confused,” from be- + muse (cf. amuse). Used humorously by Pope (1705) in the sense “devoted utterly to the Muses.”
“devoted utterly to the Muses.” – i like that.
Bemused stems more from the Middle English meaning of to bewilder, confuse, engross in thought for the purpose of deception. It goes back to Muse also.
For EXTRA CREDIT this is a submission of Amuse. Thoughtonfire touched on it with the comment “I was thoroughly Amused by your Music”. Here is a case for it.
Amuse came to Middle English musen from Middle French amuser which meant to divert or amuse and applied first to a meaning of having one’s attention, possibly to deceive by diverting from serious thought. muse came to English similarly. Muse comes from Latin Mūsa, from Greek Mousa.
The Mousa, or Muses, were the sister goddesses presiding over the arts as HotForWords explained.
Amuse is a good example of how words change or grow meanings over time. Amusement came into use in the 17th century. Amusement Park and Amusing came into use in the 20th century.
Your Podcast Is most interesting I live in a house of word geeks so your podcast helps me keep up. One problem your podcast is no longer coming to my zune account, Why? The house of the Muses gave us Museum.

Hey Marina here is a Russian comedy about people sleeping in a Russian furniture store.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5T_MMV3bJOI&fmt=18
how come you’re sometimes Marina?
He’s in touch with the feminine and Russian side of the Force… or maybe the Russian Air Force
Dez…
Where do I sign up?
I just love the way she dresses.
sometimes i think everyone in here is Marina ‘cept for me, and even then, i’m not completely sure.
I love the way she dresses too, Cap!
but .. i dont dress up as her.
but .. this is the other way round .. sometimes she dresses up as you!! .. aha!! … but … i guess i’ll never know if it’s Cap pulling a prank or M, will i. .. that sneaky M!
M controls the color schemes in and around our comments so you don’t know if it’s M or me.
i just assumed she had an arrangement with you where she can take over your username. kind of cohabiting the same account.
Cohabiting yes, not the account.
not cohabiting the same brain, surely??!!
i always knew it .. M’s the spearhead of an alien telepathic vampire invasion!
ok, Fianchetto … what would you like M’s love signal to you to be at this live youtube thingy? (i’ll add it to M’s list below – which she’ll study and print out on the day and .. and comply with fully)
AHHHH….I see now it is my choice/ request that drives the matter… OK, Should Marina choose to discreetly declare her love to me, I think she should have a drink of Disaronno (if available) Amaretto, and publicly declare it to be so; as such “This Amaretto is SO delightful and sweet, I’m glad my dear friend [Fianchetto] reccommended it to me, as he is sweeter still.” Since If I could physically attend, I would certainly offer her an amaretto. If not available, perhaps something along the lines of “Gee, I wish they would serve a nice amaretto here, as it was reccommended to me by a very sweet friend [Fianchetto].”
Hey Fianchetto… since your request for a particularly good Italian liqueur, and your suspiciously Italian-sounding name, I offer this little joke. If it offends, you may burn me at the stake… or worse, tell my Aunt Corrine, who will refuse to make pizzelles for me for Christmas:
A bus stops and two Italian men get on. They seat themselves, and engage in animated conversation. The lady sitting behind them ignores their conversation at first, but her attention is galvanized when she hears one of the men say the following…
“Emma come first. Den I come. Two asses, they come together. I come again. Two asses, they come together again. I come again and pee twice. Then I come once-a more.”
“You foul-mouthed swine,” retorted the lady indignantly. “In this country we don’t talk about our sex lives in public!”
“Hey, coola down lady,” said the man. “Imma just tellun my friend howa to spella Mississippi.”
Actually, I claim more Irish heritage than Italian, but equally enjoyed this one as well as your previous “no, my brother didn’t die…I just quit drinking” joke. Keep them coming, friend! I enjoy them all!
Ciao,
Fianchetto
I knew I liked this guy on a visceral level… I too am Irish (mostly)… and a bunch of other stuff. I’m less of a Heinz 57, and more like a Baskin Robbins 31 flavors
Crazy – it’s considered wicked to laugh at others, but a handicap to be incapable of laughing at onesself. My stance is, if it’s funny, it’s funny, even if the joke is on me. I am just happy to be laughing among friends. That’s what it’s about, anyway, I think – sure ppl are peculiar, on an individual as well as cultural level, but what’s to stop us all from having a good time with it on either level? Nothing, in my book!
I’m just thankful to call you guys friends, whatever our personal or cultural idiosyncrasies might be.
sorry, Fianchetto .. did you just say you enjoy laffin’ at the handicapped?
word request-distraction
I would like to request my favorite word: animation.
Oh, and please be aware that it’s animation, not animé. I hate it when people get those terms mixed up.
Here is a really great “muse-zishin” for ya all…
TEXAS FLOOD MUSIC
a great musician… too bad he had to leave so soon.
Yah… why does this happen? Jim Croce, Jimi Hendrix, and so many others. Makes me wonder if their lives were designed to exit the stage just as they did… they did their job… time to go “home”. hmmm?
Airplanes or drugs, which one takes out more musicians?
Marina,
I have so many I’ll have to come back later, but for now, how about
callipygous ?
It’s fun to say!
Thanks, Jeffery
Speaking of singing and codes. When I was a little boy, my grandma took me to the mall and I told her I had to go pee. My grandma told me that it wasn’t polite to say that in public and she told me that whenever I needed to pee, to tell her; “I need to sing.”
The following year, I stayed with grandma. During the night I got up and told grandma I needed to sing. She told me to do it in the ear.
So, if you see me live and I tell you that I need to sing, just point me to the bathroom.
Gives a whole new meaning to “playing it by ear.”
That’s funny Dez
“The Grown Up Word”
The kindergartners were now in the first grade. Their teacher wanted them to be more grown up since they were no longer in kindergarten. She told them to use grown up words instead of baby words. She then asked them to tell her what they did during the summer.
The first little one said he went to see his Nana. The teacher said, “No, No, you went to see your grandmother. Use the grown up word.”
The next little one said she went for a trip on a choo-choo. The teacher again said, “No, No, you went on a trip on a train. That’s the grown up word.”
Then the teacher asked the third little one what he did during the summer. He proudly stated that he read a book. The teacher asked what book he had read. He puffed out his chest and in a very adult way replied, “Winnie the Shit.”
Hey Marina, What about the word yielding? Or tumescent! I think you should invest some time into these words. I really would like to learn about them.
requests for secret gestures from M include:
do you mean like [this], seesixcm6?
That’s awful… funny
I would leave off your last word.
Strange sense of humor.
yes .. well .. i guess it helps if yer a brit with the perverted twisted humour.
Not only is their humor strange, their rules for spelling, punctuation and pronunciation are scandalous!
I still plan to see their movie, “Quantum of Solace” but with full knowledge I must decipher their language barrier!
Mijj here’s another flashplayer you may want to try for your new system.
http://www.jeroenwijering.com/?item=JW_FLV_Player
thanks cap. I’ll try that later.
Adobe say their new CS4 system will be 64bit compatible (when they get round to it)
so, all i need is a holding pattern kinda strategy to keep me doin stuff til that happens .. i wont be upto speed on making full use of what my new machine can do for a while anyway.
i’ve got a idea of how to deal with it.
Hi Mike, that is a very nice embedded player that a lot of people use and I have been using on my own private web site.
That player is used when hosting your own videos.
I’ll message you a link to show you how I use it.
did it give the word museum
Dear Teacher:
I was wondering if you could explain why the last train car on a train is known as a caboose?
That is a great one for Marina to handle… and not you’re going to believe where it comes from.
Thanks. So how do you know if Marina has selected you word?
The only way you’ll know is when the video comes out… We’re all in the dark about her next word… except for the few times when she gives a hint. During her vacation to Hawaii she told us that she had some cool Hawaiian words to investigate… and so far she’s done two… but she never said which words she was doing.
Just keep requesting. Many of us have been on the site for many months and have requested many words and still haven’t had our requests fulfilled… but then, there are thousands of students, and thousands of requests. Marina has to filter through all of these and it takes a while. So just keep at it, and be patient.
is it the Familiars (Christian demonology)
i should probably link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Familiar_spirit
those ads that slide up from the bottom of the vid .. is there any way those can be moved to slide in from the left, or right of the vid. .. they hide some of M’s most delectable attributes.
@Dez, The other day you mentioned that Cap was from NC. I am from NC, and I thought that you had mentioned being from NC. Am I losing my mind quicker than I thought, or are you both from NC?
No, I’m not from NC… but I’ve been blessed to visit the area from time to time for training… Mainly the Triangle. NC is pretty country to drive through too.
I do not know why I thought you were from NC. I grew up at Camp Lejeune, always around Marines. I may have just assumed and not even known it, OR I really am losing my mind…
You probably assumed that I went to P.I. for boot camp. Since I’m from the other side of the Mississippi, I went to San Diego… and climbed mountains at Pendleton.
While finishing a tour in Okinawa, I was supposed to get orders to Lejeune to hook up with 9th Criminals and go on float to the North Sea for Cold Weather Training for 6 months, and follow that up with a Med float for 6 months… I was the happiest frickin green tornado you ever saw… until they canc’ed my orders and gave me new ones… to Quantico… the Officer and SNCO graveyard.
Dear Teacher,
I wait with bated breath in anticipation of the sultry way you will explain to your dedicated students, the origin of “break a leg”.
Sincerely,
Mr. Hack
Hello Vinny,
Marina has done this lesson already… Check here…
http://www.hotforwords.com/2008/02/21/break-a-leg/
Wow! What cleavage in that video!
Sorry I missed that, earlier!
Did you notice that when Marina moves out of frame and is replaced by her so-called sister, that it is the sister that refers to the site as her site, the video as her video, etc.?
I had just come back here to delete my comment, having afterwards seen that it has been done. ugh. Slithers away…
No big deal… many of us forget to check the lesson list before we make requests.
OK, I’ll second Mijj’s request for “pythonesque” — presumably how it evolved from “snake-like” to “resembling Monty Python.” But just because Mijj is such a dedicated fan and is feeling so neglected.
oh yeh .. now you’re muscling into my space.
thank you.
I would say it was more of a snake-like, slithering into your space.
oops
.. my apologies, Ewan Owen .. i was being rude.
i thought you were the guy who made the vid request that caused me to rend my shirt in grief, and was rubbing salt in the wound.
(.. i think i’m becoming famous for jumping to conclusions and then retracting embarrassing statements ..)
Maybe he has been making vid requests; I do not recognize him from before. I do not think we can trust him. After all, he is a transplanted Limey. (Welsh counts, doesn’t it?)
Hello mijj,
No, I haven’t made any video requests before. I just thought if two of us made the request, it would be more likely M. would do it.
Transplanted Limey? Dw i ddim yn Sais, “bsomebody”, balch iawn yr ydwyf o’m treftadaeth Cymreig!
oki doki, EO ..
… good thinking.
Hello….word request. Did the word “lug” come from “luggage” or the other way around. Also, how does “lugnut” relate to the two?
Thanks
Dear HFW
I would like to know what the phrase “Quantum of Solace” means. It’s the title of the new James Bond movie, but i don’t understand what it means, hope you can help me out. 
A Measure of Peace… I would guess
Quantum from the Latin “quantum” meaning “how much, how great”, and from the same base from which we get the word “quantity”
Solace from the Latin solacium from solatus from solari meaning “to comfort, soothe”
An infinitely small measure of comfort or consolation or enjoyment.

Oh, Hey! Can I get on the YT Live list with M touching her throat; that will be her secret signal to me.
does that [Search this website...] thing work?
i’ve just posted a request for “pythonesque” and used the thing to search the site for the word (because i’m pretty sure i’ve requested it before)
… but it comes back with:
“Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.”
… but it’s in the site at least on this page!! – so it’s lying to me!
mijj on October 9th, 2008 3:38 am
word request : hyperbole … i gives me untold joy to use hyperbole whenever making even the most humble, groveling post here in HFW. So, what’s with the word “hyperbole” … “hyper” – yes … “bole” – huh?
Your request for “pythonesque” is coming soon….just need to find it
Hyper – beyond (or above, over)
Bole – from ballein “to throw”
Hyperbole – to throw beyond, to throw over, to throw above
hence, an exaggeration
mijj on October 9th, 2008 1:10 am
Word Request
ythonesque … some of M’s videos are Pythonesque, (in my opinion)
e.g. beautiful woman in skimpy clothing seductively elucidates the etymology of an interesting word = Pythonesque.
lawnmower sliding into view for no apparent reason during a word examination = Pythonesque
… and i love Pythonesque stuff – it suits my sense of humour.
I used the word in the thread below and chevolay said: “Wow! it’s a real word, it’s in the dictionary and I thought you were high
”
… so i think Pythonesque is worthy of examination becuase:
i think M would find this one fun to do.
more people should be educated in the use of this word
… and … emmm … other reasons i can’t think of right now.
M also uses quite a bit of Pythonesque animation in her vids.

Type in Google’s search window the words
“site:hotforwords.com _______searching for______”

that’s a great tip, Che .. thanks!
search dint work for me .. wonder why?
is it because i use firefox?
do you use Explorer or Firefox, Che?
Captain told me to do this:
The easiest way is to Google it. For example: Type in Google’s search window the words
“site:hotforwords.com _______searching for______”
Try this Mijj for Pythonesque
http://www.hotforwords.com/2008/10/08/type-o-blood/#comment-68603
thanks, Cap!
ps. cap …
how do people bring video requests to M’s attention? .. they seem to appear out of thin air.
M has let me have some site powers so I can look up stuff from my dashboard I don’t think others beside Jack can.
If you’d like to make a VIDEO request.. make that on YouTube and post it as a response to one of my videos. When I see it I will approve it and grab it
Marina
now i’m skeered .. you don’t look anything like Marina, Cap!
but the info is solid!! … thanks!
(i have an idea for pythonesque, .. so … shhhhhhh …)
Mijj it will be on her YouTube site before the comments start.

Hello Marina,
Word request:
While in Greece & looking for restrooms, I was briefly stymied by the words “ΑΝΘΡΟΠΟΝ” and “ΓΥΝΕΚΟΝ”. After laboriously sounding them out, I realized they have two derivative words in English that give away their meaning, so that I could confidently choose the right room.
Would you care to do a video on these two words?
Evan
hmmm… just transliterating yields “anthropon” and “gynecon”. Pretty simple for you and me, obviously, but I heartily second the request, mate!
Marina hand will need a hand massage after signing all the calendars,
Go to twitter and see,
and you’re the hand maiden to do it!!
Yea Che does take matters into hand.
I heard that
Hello Castalia- oh I mean Marina,
You sing just fine. Yes, I will watch.
I’m copying CheVolay and Dezdkados homework and say- museum.
Thank you for another excellent lesson.
ok, Marina .. i have a request .. can you do an occasional ridiculous (pythonesque) video (presentation, i mean, not content .. or maybe content too .. dunno). .. like .. an occasional experiment where you don’t care too much if it falls flat (but maybe you do care if they fall flat .. hmm)
e.g. do one standing on your head .. or .. half submerged in a vat of baked beans … or … with a cardboard box on your head … or … with Gorby doing the presentation and you doing the voice … erm .. etc.
oh yeh :
word request: .. if you ever do normal non-vid word requests
pythonesque
… and don’t you dare let a vid request for this .. {.. shiny eyed ..} .. push me out of the way!!
i know i have requested like 5 words no videos to this point
“pythonesque” is perfect for a video request .. i anticipate being shafted again.
…sometimes you get the elevator
sometimes you get the shaft
Mijj!
She has like ten million students! It’s nothing personal if we get lost in the crowd! Dry those eyes & smile!
Evan
yes, it is personal … terribly terribly personal …
M doesn’t check for matching back word requests if there’s a video request.
Maybe we keep srewing things up by saying “word request” when we are not requesting a word. I believe it was Cap who told us he searches by keying in on those words. Hey, mijj, mebbe Cap can learn ye how to do the search this website thingy.

I figured that since I have sod on me.
It logged me out too, a conspiracy I say
it also logged me out to
this SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s those video requesters doing it.
ok everybody .. please list instructions on secret gestures for M to give to signal her students at this YT live thing …
so far we have …
jumping up and down: for mijj
giving the finger: for karl
twirling round: for capman
blowing a kiss and a wink: for melika
.. any others?
When she laughs it’s for me
welll .. overy in the YTLive page i tagged “occasionally taking a few steps and talking to various people”
–>
“Marina! .. you can secretly signal how much you love me by occasionally taking a few steps and talking to various people.”
so maybe i should ammend the list to include that too.
ammended list:
jumping up and down / occasionally taking a few steps and talking to various people: –> mijj
giving the finger: –> karl
twirling round: –> capman
blowing a kiss and a wink: –> melika
laffin’ –> Che
… “breathing” is still available.
When ever she does one of the above we drink a shot of Tequila
Yes, I’ll take breathing… in fact I’d pay to watch her breathe.
Or perhaps a breathless sigh with a naughty smile and batting eyelashes…
I like it when she crosses her legs and shows her knees. Yes, I like seeing her knees.
No, it’s probably not a secret signal to me, but I still like her. 
jumping up and down / occasionally taking a few steps and talking to various people: –> mijj
giving the finger: –> karl
twirling round: –> capman
blowing a kiss and a wink: –> melika
laffin’ –> Che
breathin’ -> Dez
crossin’ her legs and showin’ her knees -> seesixcm6
anytime any of this happens, Che will drink a bottle of schnapps.
a bottle??
I’ll pass out in the first three minutes 
Pass the Schnapps, Mein Herr… if she does all of that, I think we’ll deserve a drink.
And if she doesn’t, we can drink and dream that she did… or experience The Mystical Potato Head Groove Thing
I got my eyes on you Mr. Dezdkado
Hey! Speak of the devil… It’s Mr. Groove, himself!
ok … gotta amend the list to allow for dez’s update…
jumping up and down / occasionally taking a few steps and talking to various people: –> mijj
giving the finger: –> karl
twirling round: –> capman
blowing a kiss and a wink: –> melika
laffin’ –> Che
breathin’ or a breathless sigh with a naughty smile and batting eyelashes -> Dez
crossin’ her legs and showin’ her knees -> seesixcm6
anytime any of this happens, Che will drink a bottle of schnapps.
Whenever she takes her eyes off the camera and glances off to her left, she’ll be thinking of me and seeing me in her minds eye.
Aso, you guys have got the drinking game all wrong – whenever Marina gives a sign to anyone, it’s that person who has a drink – why should Che have all the fun?
My liver thanks you
M’s secret gestures: revised list:
jumping up and down / occasionally taking a few steps and talking to various people: –> mijj
giving the finger: –> karl
twirling round: –> capman
blowing a kiss and a wink: –> melika
laffin’ –> Che
breathin’ or a breathless sigh with a naughty smile and batting eyelashes -> Dez
crossin’ her legs and showin’ her knees -> seesixcm6
When M takes her eyes off the camera and glances off to her left -> Bob
revised drinking requirement:
whenever Marina gives a sign to anyone, it’s that person who has a drink.
Che’s liver is grateful for this change.
Dez’s liver is not gratful for this change (i presume).
Dez sez: The liver is evil…
You forgot about me.

Could I please have a kiss blown to me using both hands? I know I’m getting in her way late.
So, Since I am not mentioned in the above legend, am I condemned to a life of sobriety?
Can I have ,playing with her hair?
“whenever Marina gives a sign to anyone, that person has a drink. (of some filthy powerful intoxicating beverage)”
I don’t drink though…
But then again…do I work that day or the next?
I hope you’re paying attention to this, M

OK – now I have to be prepared with a bottle of amaretto (for myself) on the 22NOV, specifically for the possibility that Marina will do my thing, but prolly will have a toast for any of the aforementioned ‘covert signals’ to my HFW mates!
{noticing Dez’s request, and realising that should she SURVIVE the event, she will be breathing throughout, means that should she survive the event, I shall prolly be finished my amaretto long before she gets round to fulfilling my request} … looks like I’m in for a good time no matter what she does! Thanks, Dez!
I’ll just say M wearing open-toed shoes.

How about Winking whenever she says HotForWords for ThoughtOnFire.
Great Lesson Marina. Love your vids.
Homework: Sorry Marina I can’t make it to YT live. For I’ll be here: http://www.fishexposeattle.com I’m expecting big things to happen at this years trade show.
This is the second live show Im missing. First was Lisa Nova party. I watched hours of recorded video and was so bored I never finished it. 
Secondly my internet is way to slow for live feeds.
I will try to be on the youtube live event, but i’m not sure… for the extra credit i believe is museum so; i still wait for my note…
“outstanding video”
Word request=Tele as in telephone, telegraph, television, telegram, telewoman. What’s the deal with Tele?
just let me hear some of that
Rock N Roll Music
Cool! Right now, I am listening to the Sgt. Pepper’s album
This is twittering, isn’t it?
Can someone explain what is the point of twitter, when we already have hotforwords? I just don’t get it.
If you people consider this the classroom then perhaps you might consider twwiter the :
a. the teachers lounge
b. the lunch room
c. the unisex restroom
d. the auditorium
e. the *
soulja boy….. since when is he considered a musician….
He is a cunt
He is a YouTube creation and he did it when he was 16.. so for that you have to give him respect, right?
This is is the correct answer, what Marina said.
Listen to mother Marina, she knows best.
ok then.
he’s just lucky he got rich with being retarded
he has like 6/8 huge tattoos at the age of 16….. shows how stupid he is -.- I think there are many “musicians” on yt that deserve way more attention them him
why is dick short for Richard?
Why is Bob short for Robert?
Why is Bill short for William?
Who says I’m short?!!! {phones slander lawyer}
Anyway, why is Jack “short” for John?
That is a very good question Bob. They used to call JFK, Jack instead of John.
@Bob That’s not slander it’s libel
Why is Ted short for Edward?
Im not shorter than John. I just checked and about 2 inches longer than John.
Why is Richard long for Dick?
That what his wife named her mans hole.
Marina, you said on twitter that you are on your 5th 500 gb hard drive. Do you use external hard drives and if so what is a good one to buy and will it work with a PC?
just about any usb 2.0,firewire external HD will do…. never heard of any good or bad ones…. just nice looking ones(=more expensive)
I got a 750 gig ext. HD laying arround but I never use it….. they also have these docks in which you can place an internal HD that you can plug in to your ubs port and it will work the same as an external one.
I always just use my Ipod video to put stuff on if I need to
I have noticed at work that the drives are still getting bigger and cheaper. Drives just a few months old are getting clearanced. 750 GB drives are now under $100. We even have flash drives now that hold 16 GB. Unless you need the hottest new gizmo, as far as I can tell, check the clearance items and get a steal.
These are the external drives. Internal drives are quite a bit less.
Buy a Maxtor external hard drive it has an on/off switch some like the Western Digital does not come with an on/off switch.
Thanks guys, as I need something to back up my computers.
At Best Buy I once saw (I don’t believe it was my imagination.) a 3 terabyte external hard drive. But It was very $$$$$! I don’t believe I would live long enough to fill that up!
What’s the longest video a person can put on YouTube? I have seen shorties and some that were 8 or so minutes.
i’v seen videos that were over 2 hours long…
i think the rule is 10 mins max. There wasn’t always that rule, so old ones could be longer. And, some new ones seem to be longer too, so i dont know how they get past that rule.
.. so .. in other words … shrug .. dunno
Hey Mike, the current YT video length
is 10 min and 1 GB in size.
YT video length ref
@mijj, originally, YT allowed longer video length and those accounts are grandfathered in, so they can still upload long videos.

Perhaps it is just the luck of the ignorant or what… For my links, I do not retype anything with funky symbols. I copy the the little “code” thingy as it is and paste it in the comment.

I have just typed the code, and that works, too.

I have a word request in light of No Shave November, or Novembeard as I like to call it…where do we get the word beard?
Which is it? Kobe or Gorby? I get so confused these days…
{ shuffles across the floor, scratching his head, mumbling}
i bet it was Gorby first (after Gorbachev) .. and changed to Korby to create unnecessary chaos and confusion. … And then changed back again to further taunt and rend the poor reasoning powers of M’s student population.
oops …i mean .. Gorby -> Kobe (not Korby) -> Gorby
The video wherein Marina renames Kobe showed Kobe Bryant and Mikhail Gorbachev in the opening stills. Since she renamed her “handleless-dust-mop-with-four-legs” Gorby, we’ve never heard Marina call him Gorby in her videos. Marina has an evil (fork) “twin sister” (also missing since first reported). So many conflicting details – Oy!
oh .. i found this .. explains it all
http://www.hotforwords.com/2008/10/28/gorby/#comment-82327
looks like “Gorby” is it (M gives a poll allowing you to disagree with her)
and Gorby’s name evolution appears to be …
Kobe -> & -> Gorby
i watched the vid again .. it’s pleasing (damn that word) to see you have some fluidity and not be rigid in pose like in those sprawled-on-the-floor vids. .. i enjoyed seeing you fondle Gorby in the vid .. (Gorby’s the student rep in your vids, don’t forget – when he gets affection, we do too) – maybe you can address some of the talk to him when he looks like he’s needing attention or pick him up .. or .. give him a snuggle .. erm .. koff … whatever .. i think i’m drifting off.
.. erm ..
… “pleasing (damn that word)” was originally .. “nice (damn that word)” .. i forgot to delete the “(damn that word)”
i’m gonna have to stop reading what i wrote – it looks so embarrassing. .. or stop writing that stuff.
ha
ps. .. i’m referring to the lovely Marina, not you, Capman, you ugly sod!

Dear совершенная Marina, I went to bed early and missed your new video. Yes, I’ll try to see you in your “YouTube Live” event. If they don’t have enough bandwidth, I’ll have to see it on “reruns.”
“House of Muses” refers to some expensive handbags and to some bad Greek legends. I think the song, “House of the Rising Sun” which warns about bad things.
Marina, do you play guitar? I see you with one in your Cocomment ad, and wondered if we could play music together
Your dear student, seesixcm6
Since you are familiar with playing guitar, you may vae noticed her fingers aren’t on the fret board! She grabbed it above the nut and by the neck (kinky!)
LOL!
why is the house of horses called stable, then?

To be totally honest, Marina, your singing is still quite abysmal, but like all things worth having in life extraordinary singing talent is a function of mostly hard work. There’s nothing fundamentally wrong with your voice, it’s just your relative lack of arduous and dedicated vocal training.
Here’s just a link to one of the numerous types of music I enjoy:

Oh Marina,
Not that song again….
Not that it was done badly.
It’s just that your rendition will take all day to get it out of my head.
Oh were swinging,
and swaying,
to this silly old song,
as Marina has charmed us today…
(snapping them fingers to the left and the right (Like in a Steve Martin movie))
Homework: Marina, I will be watching the YT live event only because you will be there.
Could you
give me a fingerwave your hand and throw kisses so I know it’s for me.!!! .. and me .. and me … !!!
{.. jumps up and down in an annoying fashion ..}
OK, OK, Marina gets to jump up and down as a secret key to indicate that she is waving and throwing kissing at you.
Is it OK if I watch.
ok Marina .. we have it sorted out now .. you jump up and down as a signal to me .. and you give the finger to Karl while doing so.
Can I get her to twirl around for me?
PL PL PL it want add that much more on to her giving Klaus the finger and jumping up and down for Mijj.
If she blows a kiss and a wink, I’m in!
Phrase request:
“A wink’s as good as a nod”
If you’re having forty winks, you’re in the Land of Nod.
Karl have you ever read or know if you put ‮ in front of a sentence it will reverse the sentence to read backwards?
‮I dunno, does it?
‮ I dunno, does it?
i think you forgot the semi-colon, Cap.
->
i think you forgot the semi-colon, Cap.
Hey Mike, yes code ‮ RTL and ‭ LTR overrides are used to change text direction for various languages such as Hebrew, Arabic and others.
Also, Bi-Directional Override can be done with HTML code using BDO, The example that follows uses square brackets. You would substitute the square brackets with angle brackets.
RTL means Right To Left. That code probably won’t work in this comment box, but the HTML entities 8238 and 8237 will.
[BDO dir="RTL"] 123 test [/BDO]
Here is a chart that lists the standard entity codes.
HTML characters
This lists the 8200 type codes
Backwards write to want you would why?
ok . so far, Marina, you’re
jumping up and down: for mijj
giving the finger: for karl
twirling round: for capman
blowing a kiss and a wink: for melika
maybe you should write this out before you go so you dont forget. … and if you do all that every now and then, i’m pretty sure the cameras will land on you.
Any thing else we can get her to do? lol
The word music in this video request came from came from
http://www.youtube.com/hotforwords#T=0m52s
tayloreh he seems quite Hubris
A funny thing happened on the way too research http://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/wikipedias
The House of Inspirations
You Tube Live too early to tell.
i will watch the you tube live,
Museum is the word that came from House of the muse
I still have the word request: wimp/wimpy
House of the Colossus=Colosseum.
)
House of a dead person=Mausoleum. (After that of King Mausolus of Caria, erected in the middle of the 4th. century B.C. at Halicarnassus by his Queen, Artimesia.)
So, House of the Muses=Museum. (Also a house of dead things.
Oh! YouTube Live? At that time it’ll be the middle of the night here in Scotland and I shall be tucked up in my bed and Dead to the world.
my next word request….FUN….and……..LOVEHANDLE……
would that not be a great word for thanksgiving 
Or, how about….STUFFED… 
come on, throw me a turkey leg..pleassssssssssssseeeeeeee
Thank you our Muse!
marina, that is my favorite outfit you have worn,,,why, less is more..could you please wear jet black outfit..maybe black stockings and shorts..ugh…pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
This lesson brought up some irrelevant questions:
1. What happened to the cute little “Thank you” voice? It’s missing and I miss it.
2. What is the poster (?) with all the symbols on it that slides by in the “HFW Must Investigate” clip? It looks like some kind of non-Roman alphabet. Is it music related?
Watch Youtube Live?!? If you will be there, I’m gonna download it into my bathtub.
Extra credit: museum.
BTW, the first Sat. of the year is Museum Day in Sacramento during which the State Train Museum, the Aerospace Museum of CA, the Towe Ford Museum, The Foundry History Museum and so forth are free. And there’s a free shuttle between them. Bring a lunch.
moose! no that can’t be it..
Dear Miss Orlova,
I can’t wait to watch your appearance at the Live Youtube Rock event on November 22nd.
YS,
TOF
PS I was thoroughly Amused by your Music, at first I thought you were singing in Russian, that would be sweet.
PSS I’ll write a song about you HotForWords.
Marina’s beeh there, done that
I think you got a EXTRA CREDIT word by your use of Amused in “I was thoroughly Amused by your Music”. So I submitted a case for it with another comment.
dvorak,
That was the idea mate, thanks for the recognition.
ThoughtOnFire
My pleasure but thanks for the thanks, bro.
Yes… Maybe… No
I’ll check it out… if lousy music and dumb poptub shit like nonsense shows up… I’ll retreat to my igloo and use my mind to bend a spoon or something.
The word musician comes from same root.

hello mijj… how do you go about linking to a picture and where do you post the picture… hmmm?
the format for linking to a picture located on the net somewhere is …
<a href=”http://www……jpg”>some text or other</a>
oh .. i happen to have a website i use to store stuff .. i put images there to link to.
Ok… now I see how it’s done… thx!
Here’s a program I us to store pictures for so I can do the same thing as Mijj just did. It gives you a tiny url to put in your comment so you get the same picture effect. Plus you can up load and store all of your pictures there for future use.
http://tinypic.com/ after you upload your picture you will see a section like this
Links to Share
HTML for Websites
IMG Code for Forums & Message Boards
URL for E-Mail & IM
Direct Link for Layouts = use this one for your picture url to put in your comment
OK… this is a first and I hope it works. I hope you like it.
Recycled Bicycle Tire Mirror (with image of HOT BABE )
hmmm?… Didn’t work… will try this!
here
One more time!
click here
I quit… maybe another day… goin’ fer a schmoke!
Hey mijj, how did you manage to type out that “<a href” thing?
A long time ago I tried to do that to explain to someone who asked, but it came out as just “some text or other” in blue.
Hi Bob, you use HTML entities instead of the arrow keyboard characters.
Note: do not use a space before the semicolon. I use a space so that the entity is not interpreted as an arrow.
For the left arrow you use: > ;
You should see this as HTML code.
<a href=”http://google/”> My Link </a>
To see how it is done by the rules above, look at the source.
If you have Mozilla (SeaMonkey / FireFox, highlight the code and then click View Source.
Bob, another (easier) way I like to do it is this way:
Copy the HTML code below the comment text box, then replace the arrow characters with square characters and tell the audience to just replace the square characters with arrow characters.
[a href="http://google.com/"] My Link [/a]
I knew I was going to mangle it up. This is what I meant to say in the previous comment. Remember, to not use a space before the semicolon.
For < use < ;
For > use > ;
as an ammendment to pk’s bit … you only need to substitute < for < … you can enter > as is without it causing problems.
oh yeh ..
.. now, how did i manage to enter :
<
without it being displayed as:
<
??
mijj puzzle:
now, how did i manage to enter: <
Answerman:
Why, using the Ampersand Entity.
For effect, I’m using spaces before the semicolon
because I’m lazy.
& ; < ;
well.. i knew you’d know … i wanted bob to scratch his head in amazement at the weird illogic of it all.
ps: i think you mean:
&<
d’oh!
that shudda bin …
<
ahem .. try again
&lt;
Many thanks, Guys. I think I need to get a copy of “HTML for Dummies”
BTW, mijj, stop trying to make me scratch my head – I have little enough hair left as it is.
actually .. as a reminder of what the codes were, i googled [html ascii] and referred to this …
http://www.ascii.cl/htmlcodes.htm
Sadly no, I have to work all day.
Hi Marina Could you look in to the phrase. IF you don’t have anything good to say don’t say anything at all. NO OK
If your going to be there, I am going to be watching! Let us all pray that our fellow student stokesjrj1 will seek some professional help,or maybe an exorcism
Thank you all my fellow students.
I agree.

It was amusing to watch the rerun of Grandfather’s Clock.
I may watch the YouTube thingee, I dunno. The only name I recognized was Joe Satriani! He’s been around for awhile…

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UGjfnt4gw5A
yes i am going to watch youtube live. Marina can you please do a video on the word brave.
Mel Gibson already did that.
i know i was watching braveheart and that is why i want to know where the word brave came form
BTW does someone clean up this comments page, or do we just have a higher class fan club here than over at YouTube?
It’s higher class here Evan.. I don’t delete comments here at all.
HEARD that..girl..awol..man…how is my request of 86 coming..told me it was coming but working on halloween videos,,,maybe next year
She is lying. I once posted on here about trying to raise money for starvation in 3rd world countries. AND SHE DELETED IT! Apparently it wasn’t relevant to etymology.

stokesjrj1 is an exception to this rule
He serves to make us ALL appear smart,
by being public enema number two
James – What do you know about relief funds?

Best way to feed starving people is to do it
where you live, first
We tend to badger the drive-by snerts when they show up.
Not to be mean, not like that – we like to have fun!
I’ve seen you are starting to be a regular – have you got a graphic to put up on Gravater? That way, you can dump the computer generated job. Let’s the rest of us pick up on your comments at a glance.

Milaya Marina,
House of Muses answer: museum (oops – MCLIJazz beat me to it.)
Word request: Memory. Does it come from or is it related to Mnemosyne?
Thanks for the memories. (That’s the name of an old song.)
Evan
oh! .. whoops!! .. i *did* get an apology!!!
see it worked again and it didn’t even cost you $20 dollars
i think if Marina was my sister i’d alreay know about it.
Maybe Mijj is Marina
Am I missing something? Where is it? I cannot find it anywhere.
twitter – i twittered her and pouted for it
Dear Teach, you’re beautiful, as always, and your lesson was cool. I actually had been exposed to that origin in college – a music history or theory class; can’t remember which. I’d like to submit for your perusal “all hat and no cattle”(again), “throw me a bone”, and “humdinger”. Always.
through the tears of disappointment at not being mentioned …
M, you look fantastically smart dolled up and look real cute playing with Gorby.
you’re much better in these last two than in those things where you’re sprawled on the floor.
The subject was fascinating too … (.. chokes back tears ..)
i guess M doesn’t even scan this site any more .. but, anyhoo, what the hell.
yeh .. look at her out there .. playing in the YouTube comments, ignoring us. <pout>
oh .. the red dress sprawled on the floor vid was exceptional tho.
Boy, howdy! That vaporous thing was the most thought-provoking outfit worn in the time I have been watching. (I won’t say what kind of thoughts.
)
By the way, you havent done a teachers pet recently. I hope you didnt discontinue it before you got to me.
No, she discontinued it when she got to you.
(Sorry, I couldn’t resist it.)
I will not be watching YouTube Live next Saturday night. None of the musicians on the bill, nor their genres, are to my liking. But I hope you have fun, Marina.
I’m guessing the word is “museum.”
That is a classy looking outfit Marina and you look gorgeous as usual. I would like to request the word Gorgeous… seriously, thats my request. and I dont want to hear anything out of you amateurs, I would like Marina to do this one. as for the extra credit I’m going to guess something like concert or theatre.
So ummmmm,is Johnny Nemonic(Keanu Reeves)name related to the word “mnemonic” related to memory,,I’ll have to guess “yes”,,damn creative script writers anyhow. johnny Nemonic had a busload of digital memory loaded to his brain if I remember right!
You sure did remember it right. He had so much that it was going to kill him if he couldn’t download.
Yeah,yeah,friggin A right! It was the cure for the-plight-of-the-day! Could set all mankind free and such,take power away from the opressors and such.
Kinda like taking the best of all politics worldwide,chucking the rest,then,couple it with worldwide birth control could do today,,,,soooo simple,yet,the devil is in the details.
I’m gettin too serious and “out there”,,it’s sleepy-time.ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZz
One of the creepiest characters from that movie.
I’d love to be around for the YouTube Live event but I’ll be in Glamis for the weekend.
That looks totally sick! Cannigo, canni, canni, please?
Watch out that you don’t get sand in yer crack

Musician? Musical? Ahhhhh,,got it! MUSEUM!
oh shit! Forgot to watch the vid! This has been a foogered summer!
How long since Ya heard the word “fooged”!?!? God I’m old.
Better watch the vid now.
Could we say that Zeus was hooked on Mnemonics?
Could that word be MUSEUM for house of muses?
That sounds like a pretty good guess.
Yes. Thank you. Nice feet.
I Googled it, but came up with nothing. I guess I’ll go with what the others said museum.
Marina did you notice that there was a white furry growth on your left leg. 
That answers to the name of….
By the way, where do these people come from who send in the vid requests? I would think I would recognize someone from the actual HFW site on there, but no. M must have her real website somewhere else, and we have all been duped into believing that we are the true followers.
….. & more conspiracy theories yet abound…..
Sounds like someone has a conspiracy theory about conspiracy theories…
Hmm… conspiracy. Is that cons + piracy. Maybe I should make that a word request. (Trying to be positive) Somebody, conjure me up some ju-ju, please.
oh spirits who dwell in the twilight of life bestowed some ‘ju-ju’ on ‘somebody’.
you know that ju-ju that only you you do do so well
you gonna make a vid request, bsomebody?
Absolutely not. Rebel to the end, in spite of myself.
making a vid is mijj secret plan;
camera ……..check
new computer….check
editing software…..check
desire to produce/direct ……check… check
Che, oh ye of little faith. mijj will never cross over to the Dark Side. Never, never, NEVER. … will he?
pssst! don't tell mijj but Marina is his sisterThey must come the Hot4Words site, where her evil twin sister Oksana resides.
Think we all should to go on strike from the site and let the video requests have it for a while, do you, hmm? Yes, hmmm.
you still using that yoda thing? .. it’s hard to tell now.
I used it then as I didn’t want to sound seriously.
i wont make one for myself .. but i could make one for someone else. .. somehow .. if i can get a photo of the person .. i could have a go at doing a southpark style anim request .. if they provide the sound track too.

Howdy
Yes, museum… a place where that Clio would rule
How the hell did I get in this early?
You ran like hell T.
Yer right! I have been runnin,not here tho,all over a 100 mile radius! Just happened to click My hotforwords shortcut and BAMMO!,,only 6 replies!
I’m honored to be here,and,now,with the “Big Boys”!!
ive requested that more than once .. no mention
thank you, Marina
Hurts to the quick. I know… oh how I know
HA me TO. you have to be in the Little click ore just forget it. IT’S happen to me three times. I Gauss she can be nice to who she whats to be :
She does seem to go for the good looking young boys.
Has mijj considered Botox?
Same here, as well as poem/poetry.
it looks like M values video requests above anything else.
.. so, all you need to do is spot someone’s good idea written as text and make a video for it.
so it’s not really about the word request .. it’s about the video.
.. i don’t think M realises how it’s gutting to be excluded in this way.
- it’s definitely creates an aversion to putting up word requests if someone takes the idea and makes a vid request of it and you’re excluded.
Request will now be done on a secret ballot;
this we keep those in the other dimension from capitalizing on ideas written here.
Or, a Memorial Page for the forgotten requesters.
We’ll continue to request though it’s a thankless job.
Pick up your fingers men/women and type on!
Hey!
I was posting over there, not paying attention. I was trying to get mijj to get us some new animation. It’s mijj’s fault!
know what you mean, I’ve been distracted posting a reply mijj and was late for the new vid.
I posted that ‘it’s so hot game to distract him’
Speaking of “animation”,I was doin this,that,and the other thing,but little ole brainpan always workin on strange stuff. Wanted to ask all the vid-makers/animators here if the idea of Jed Clampet(Beverly Hillbillies) as “Uncle Jedi”(Star Wars)would be an idea for a vid?? I can’t do it,just want to hope that it is an original idea and that’s My contribution to the proposed projeect.
If it’s already been done then,,oh well,,My heart’s in the right place anyhow.
Old Jed went out in space one day
looking for some green
and out from the dark side
came some energy alternative
ya’ll know what I mean
(there is a parody song in there somewhere)
I’m a friggin drywaller fer Christs sake! But. I’ll take a shot at solving the riddle here.
solar power? It comes from the dark of Space and is green energy. there are other scientific things goin on in the “green” world,but,I’m just not that smart right now,,,,if ever!
“Nasty Hobbit,whats it got in it’s pocket”
yeh .. but you got an apology .. i won’t get one.
maybe i can conjure up an apology for you
{ Che goes into a trance while speaking in tongues }
Yeah, and then she left us all. I think the guilt was just too much for her.
It did cost me $20, too.
But just another sixty bucks and I get my own monkey!
lol .. oh yes .. my pain is funny to you! … why dont you hit me over the head with a frying pan.
i am not laughing, fer real i’m not.
hello maybe 3rd!
Hi Guys
