The Dutch have a holiday on the 5th of November (or december.. Forgot which) that’s called “SinterKlaas.”
Sinterklaas is a man who came from spain on the first of november to bring gifts. He traveled the Netherlands until the 5th of november, and then went back to spain. He has helpers called “Zwarte Pieten” litteraly “Black Petes” who are comparable to Santa’s elves. The black petes however follow sinterklaas around the netherlands to help him and to throw “Pepernoten” at the crowds of children. Pepernoten are small biscuits or cookies that taste similar to “Speculaas” which are in turn similar to Gingerbread. Sinterklaas also has a horse called “Amerigo” and carries a staff similar to that of a bishop.
I don’t know why I’m telling you all this, but I suppose it is cool to know albeit a bit late for christmas.
by the way: Webcorrupter – the channel is Fox news not faux news. Faux pronounced like “foe” is a french word meaning fake. The fur coats hotforwords mentioned are faux fur – fake fur.
I wonder where [faux] comes from other than french…
The spelling was intentional because it is, in fact, fake news. By the way, it’s Webcorruptor not Webcorrupter. Saint Nicholas day is generally celebrated on December 5th or 6th depending which country it is. I think one is the day he was born and the other is when he died. It is supposed to be celebrated in Germanic countries for the most part. So, It would make sense for “SinterKlaas” to be based on him as Marina says in the video.
I think they cut a bit out of the show, or Marina’s time was limited’. We don’t have a holiday on dec. 5, But for the rest of it you are right.
Sinterklaas, is not the same person as Santa Claus. He was here first.
As the tail goes he comes from Spain and his helpers are called zwarte Pieten.
On the day before his birthday 5 December he gives presents to the children (pakjesavond).
In America he transformed (nice hint that X-man shot) into a new character. Kept the name, but changed the: outfit, date, place of origin, means of transportation and the helpers.
And St Nicklaas originally is based on a Turkish bishop

It’s good that you posted this. I wouldn’t have seen it otherwise since I have been boycotting Faux News for quite some time. It’s nice to know that there is finally something worth watching on that channel. By the way, I couldn’t think of one before, but now I know who I would give a “louche bag” award to: Bill O’Reilly. I hope you’ve seen the Youtube video where he throws a tantrum back when he was hosting “Inside Edition”. It’s hilarious. Also, if someone doesn’t like Faux News, they aren’t necessarily left wing. Faux News doesn’t speak for all conservatives just like all conservatives are not in favor of wiretapping, waterboarding, pre-emptive war, destroying the constitution, torture, police equiped with tazers, and huge deficits created by uncontrollable spending. If they’re supposed to be fair and balanced then, why do they always want to call everyone who disagrees with their Nazi, fascist beliefs left wing? The media should at least attempt to be impartial. While I believe it is true that most media is left wing, that doesn’t make it alright for Faux News to abuse their position by masquerading as News when they are really just a political tool of Neocons.
Good comment, webcorruptor.
Yet Conservative news, Opinion, and Commentary never claims to be balanced. The whole point is to present a conservative viewpoint. The mainstream media, as you point out, is overwhelmingly liberal and leftarded, but they conceal and deny this fact while pretending, (a euphemism for ‘lying’) to be fair and balanced. The “fair and balanced” news coverage of Obama was the first time the mask was openly removed from the biased media.
I don’t care where Marina appears, I’m just glad to see her and learn the latest. We live in an Orwellian age in which ’stimulus package’ means ‘enormous debt for generations to come’ and ‘fairness doctrine’ means ’silence opposing views’.
In such a world as this we need our dear Hot For Words teacher, to keep us on track and accurate in our use of words.
And for the others here who object to her for her association with the Right, most of the foreign born people I know who came from Communist countries, such as Russia, Ukraine, Cuba, China, Viet Nam, etc., are conservative because they understand first-hand, (not liberal college social theory, but first-hand,) what it is truly like to live in a left-wing world. That’s why they come here!
That’s a good point about people from Communist countries being conservative. Until recently the conservative movement has been the place for people who want less government and more freedom. From what I understand the Cuban community in Florida is a big conservative voting block. Also, my favorite author, Ayn Rand, was from the USSR. It must really suck to leave a country like that only to have everyone in the new country expect you to agree with the morons running the place you left in the first place. I’ve heard stories about people from the USA going to England and having people want to argue with them over the war in Iraq and Bush’s policies when most of the country disagrees with both, and Bush had a record low approval rating. I don’t know if Marina has said anything to indicate what her politics are, and I don’t blame her. People take politics very personally. I don’t think it makes sense to assume that she is either conservative or liberal by appearing on the O’Reilly Factor. It’s television and she isn’t discussing anything political on it. So, it’s a good way to get publicity for her calendar, youtube channel, and website. It could easily be nothing more than that. In honor of Bill O’Reilly though, I am going to request the word “falafel” which is one of the first things I’m sure he thinks of when he sees Marina along with soap suds. Hopefully, that will help everyone to remember his sex harrassment scandal a while ago and remind them that he is disgusting.
hahaha id rather pick ded maroz then santa because ded maroz is always happy and drunk, and his nose is red because he drinks vodka so much. ded maroz, ded maroz, ded maroz. i snegurachka.
“Hot for Words” is about . . . WORDS!
Intelligently explaining word meanings is a gift to the English speaking world detached from any one ideology. So, once again, a person from the left, being devoid of substance, resorts to its premier Stalinist tactic of name calling. Anthonzi, in lock step with leftist elitism now calls Marina “ideologically irresponsible” and that old childish standby: “he’s stupid”. You’re like little children in a sandbox: “you’re stoopid, stoopid” Anyone who doesn’t think like leftist Anthonzi is stupid, dumb, a dunce, etc. That’s all they can do, call their opponents names, because their platform is nothing but feelings without form. This from the side who shrieks “tolerance”! How about tolerating another viewpoint? Lighten up and Grow up!
What a beautiful example of Whiteknighting. Who ever said I was tolerant? And how does it have any relevance??? Lets see, your argument includes the following fallacies: over generalizations, ad hominem, flat out making up your opponents position to construct strawmen on top of them, and producing a false dichotomy between you and wtf everything else you probably think is evil(Stalinist; O’rly?).
Does any of this change the fact that O’Reilly fails to understand fundamental realities of the functions of the universe? Stawman arguments can’t make up for stupidity; in fact they serve only to exemplify the inanity of their proponents.
You are a liberal, or a socialist, or someone who is on the fringe of thought. The mask worn by that philosophy is always tolerance. That mindset tolerates everything except dissent. Tolerance is relevant to illustrate hypocrisy.
Your childish retort includes the fallacies of over- generalizations, ad hominem attack, and making up my position to construct a strawman. Hmmm, just what you accused me of. Not very original or insightful on your part.
Moreover, you make a claim about O’Reilly, regarding his understanding “the functions of the universe” that is unsubstantiated, except in your mind, and quite meaningless. I am sure that someone as bright as O’Reilly understands basic science regarding the “universe.”
Your foul mouth further reveals the paucity of your intellect, and the continued name-calling proves my earlier point. All your kind can do is ultimately call everyone they oppose some form of: “stupid.” It’s all you have in your immature arsenal and you keep proving it.
Your core anger is very apparent and so close to the surface. It is sad to witness. As I said before, you need to mature, so grow up already.
You have yet to address Bill’s intellect and lack of critical faculties. And my previous post contains none of said fallacies.
Farewell sir; I wish you well.
Farewell to you. I wish you the same.
Being intelligent also means being ideologically responsible
Shame on you for appearing on Fox. O’Reilly is a dunce conservative. Try PBS next time? thx
Фига, ты выдаешь=) Спасибо, настроение перед универом поднялось xD
Ahem!
VIVA MARINA!!! wat does viva mean???
Hi Marina,
pinhead how did that come from? where did that come from?
http://www.youtube.com/pumapomada
http://www.youtube.com/my_videos#
I shouldn’t be surprised that you would be O’Reilly’s TV sychophant. Why would you be offended by a misogynistic s.o.b.? You are leveraging your sexuality into personal financial gain, after all. You know, about half the time I think you’re just reading from an etymological dictionary. The other half, I really wish you would read from an etymological dictionary. Sod you, media whore.
I sense a little jealousy. o-o
Yikes, where is the love?
Actually, Marina’s leveraging intelligence, creativity, humor, uniqueness, joy, her fantastic looks, and just plain fun, into a special marketable niche which no one else had seen or acted upon.
That’s what the free market is about. . . but you’re probably against that as well.
Misogynist? Whore? It doesn’t take a Freud to know that what one hates and puts upon others is probably what they despise in themselves.
Seriously, you have issues. Seek professional help. The Beatles sang: “All you need is love. . . ya-ta-da-ta daaa. . . All you need is love, love. . . love is all you need.”
Мариночка, Вы замечательная.
Oh, Marina, Marina. You really need to work on that German pronunciation of yours.
“Drehen” (IPA: /ˈdʀeːən/).
The “h” is not pronounced but is an indication that the “e” preceding it is a long vowel, not short. Long “e” (IPA: eː) is like “air” (like the name of the letter “A” but without the “ee” sound at the end). Like English, “-en” and “-er” endings use the obscure vowel (”uh”).
Have you learnt how to read IPA, Marina?
Because then you can just look up the words on the German Wiktionary and read off the IPA for the word to perfect your pronunciation.
And, of course, the whole point of the IPA is that it defines vocal sounds in a language-neutral way, so it works for all languages (because, obviously, you can’t be expected to know how to speak every single possible language that exists – but the IPA at least lets you be able to pronounce the words fairly convincingly).
Sorry, I’m such a terrible nit-picker, aren’t I?
I’ll shut up now, before you refuse to ever talk to me again.
Marina,
It’s always great to hear an intelligent woman speek. And, you’re gorgeous to boot. You’ve got my vote! O’Reilly scored when he allowed you on his show. I look forward to the next show.

San Antonio, TX
I have it on now, you have’nt been on yet but I’m waiting!
Marina: Love your segment on the O’Reilly Factor. Learned so much. I am an amateur etymologist!
Also, love watching him flirt with you!
Marina… Merry Christmas,
Speaking of, I saw your name on Santa’s naughty list.
Only because I am a couple lines under you.
Marina, I wish you a very wonderful Christmas, and may all your dreams come true.
You have two Christmas’ And as your student, I wish to have both Christmas’s also. December 25th and January 7th.
Speaking of Christmas (and Christians)…Question about the words associatred with the “mark of the beast”?
The general consensuses between some of the various denominations of Christianity as to some of the definitions of the Mark of the Beast are;
1. You will receive a “mark”.
2. You will receive the mark of the beast on your “right hand”
3. Accepting the mark of the beast shall “curse” you to eternal death.
4. You will receive the mark of the beast on your “head”
5. You will not be able to “buy or sell” without the mark of the beast
That being said; isn’t it interesting that when you sign your signature on an Admiralty Maritime document that also has your STRAWMAN name on it:
1. You don’t write your autograph, instead, you write your signature. The word “autograph” is a compound word: “auto” = “self” and “graph” = “symbol”. Your autograph is your sovereign symbol as a flesh-and-blood Sovereign Christian. The signature line on your check is not really a line; it is actually microprint repeating the words “authorized signature”.
2. The root-word of signature is “sign”. “Sign” is literally translated from Latin as “mark”.
3. In sigil magic, the bad guys create an evil symbol by taking a natural and good symbol and altering it to make it evil. “Signature” can be separated by sigil magic into “sig” which means “not” and the rest of the word is “nature”. This makes “signature” to mean “not-natural” or “un-natural”.
4. You use your “right hand” or “writing hand” to receive the mark
5. You always write your signature in “cursive” handwriting. The root-word of “cursive” is “curse”. One of the definitions of the word “curse” is “to communicate with the dead”. Are you communicating with the dead corporate STRAWMAN?
6. Your STRAWMAN name is always spelled in all “capital” letters. The word “capital” is derived from the Latin word “capitae” which means “head”. (For example; decapitate means to cut off the head.) The phrase: El Capitan (”The Captain”, in Spanish) is the “head” of an Admiralty Maritime vessel. All of the names on gravestones are in capitol letters.
7. In today’s world, we can see that it is becoming increasingly difficult to “buy or sell” anything without your STRAWMAN documents with your signature. Try to buy, sell or even get a job without your birth certificate, driver’s license, social security card, credit card, debit card, checkbook or your bank account; all of which have your STRAWMAN name on it in conjunction with your signature.
All of these documents use your “capital” lettered STRAWMAN name in conjunction with your acceptance by your “signature” written in “cursive” with your “right hand” (or maybe your “writing” hand) in order to “buy or sell”. Symbolically, are you accepting the cursed mark on your head and your right hand in order to buy and sell things? Why are the bad guys always trying to create a “legal” (procedural; not lawful) nexus between the Sovereign and the STRAWMAN? We know it has to do with the bonds (negotiable instruments) that are sold on the open market using the Sovereign as collateral for the monetary value of said bonds. (We call that “statutory slavery”.) But is there a spiritual aspect as well? Would the entire beast system collapse in one day if all of the Christians quit signing their signatures on the STRAWMAN Admiralty Maritime documents? Do you see why Jesus said “woe unto lawyers, for they hold the key to knowledge…”?
Marina, please let me know what you think.
In truth and peace,
Guyman
Makes sense to me, regarding “statutory slavery” and too,
any sigil type cult. More and more people get lazy that way and falls to dictatorships through forms of democracy and that of unnatural laws. No matter what is writ. Actions for order to be good. Words don’t plant the grains without workers.

Oh Gosh,
how terrible, how do you pronounce “drechhhhhen”, hahhaha, you a linguist??? I’m sure, every German person cannot hold the laugh
))
At least you deserve applaud for memorizing…
Нет, ну мне нравится этот проект,… когда простая учительница Русского языка и литературы объясняет басурманам на их же басурманском языке происхождение их слов.
…как сейчас помню свои уроки русского языка 4-го, 5-го, и 6-го, классов , когда наша учительница делала тоже самое для нас. Спасибо Вам мои учителя! (((что мы не выросли пиндосами)))
К стати она была тоже красива и молода.
З.Ы. So pindosas take the shoot under the weist.
I can think of a word: Hypnotizing!
I think it has roots in… russia?
Anyway, it is seriously threatening this day’s productivity.
So our e-mails paid off,
or was it all you?
Anyway, you werrre great Marina!
I enjoyed this episode the most,
and your English is improving..
way to stay focused!
To finish Bill’s jest to Dennis Miller (that was interrupted in the editing of this video), “only seven people in the whole country know who Stan Mikita is.”
Plus many Blackhawks fans.
Marina, you rocked on O’Reilly, as usual. You are one of those rare people who shines with inner beauty and radiates an outer beauty as well. I love your brain =)
Good job, teach, as always. O”Reilly can be such a dolt with other guests, but he is as enamored with you as the rest of us. Your laugh is infectious and you are too sweet for words.
According to whois.com your site was originally registered on Feb 27, 2007, if that helps jog your memory.
As always, you were great on Wednesday night. Technically, you were great Monday night, since that’s when your segment was taped, but either way, you were great. Those below me that are dissatisfied with the interruptions are not familiar with the concept of “The O’Reilly Factor.” It’s the No Spin Zone, and Bill tries to get as much information as he can in the time that he has in a given segment.
If I sounded like a condescending school teacher in the comment, I apologize. Everyone views things differently.
That X-mas coming from the greek word fro Christ was very good. Surprised Bill too.Youg ot him he needed a surprise!
YAY marina!
Does anyone that comes to this site use the “digg” feature? Or can explain to me, how to use it effectively?
I hit the “submit digg” & did it… got another person’s digg right away & no more diggs since… some other usless info that others digg get hundreds of diggs… huh?
“Edit” is gone… fine. When I said “other useless info” I wasn’t saying, this is useless info too. I was saying other info that is much less usefull… ah forget it & I will too
loves the whole Croatia!! Marina
Yep, you have a great way about you – I’m looking forward to see my ‘Baloney’ word being described one day.
Yay!
Marina,
you always look like a little school girl on the O´Reilly show.
Your hair style looks much better on your videos.
Anyway, you are amazing !
Dear HotForWords,
You did so well on the O’Reilly Factor Show, I really enjoyed watching! Did you know my mom was on the O’Reilly Factor Show once? Woot!
Your Dear Student,
ThoughtOnFire
Why was your mom on O’Reilly?
Dear Teacher,
To promote her book: http://www.amazon.com/Gods-Brothel-Extortion-Contemporary-Fundamentalist/dp/1930074131/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1229234925&sr=8-1
Yours,
ThoughtOnFire
Pretty good Thoughton fire.
Did your Mom have a “bad”, or should I say, “some” experience “In” the LDS church?
Just wondering, as the term “christian” is used & covers such a broad spectrum of people & beliefs that it holds virtually no defining ability on it’s own anymore.
She was raised Mormon and married my father who was also raised Mormon. When I was 6 they left the church and took me and my older brother and sister with them. They raised us Atheist. My mom saw and heard things in, around, and about the LDS Church that opened her eyes. Unfortunately she swung to the extreme, instead of looking for alternative ideas of God. She became a major support for the Tapestry Against Polygamy, which helps Women and their Children out of it. She also helped a London Film Direction on a Documentary, has written many articles, and has appeared on TV several times for her work on informing the public about these matters. She was also the Utah N.O.W. president for a few years. She lives in California now and is going to school to become a psychologist who helps people out of Cult and Brainwashery. It would be cool if she covered the “christian” topic. She’s a fan of the documentaries that state Jesus is only a Myth. We went to Religulous by Bill Mayer. I understand what you mean of the broad spectrum. I’m sort of Gnostic Christian myself.
Thanks for the quick reply. I was raised Christian, in a fairly strict environment, although my parents weren’t as gung ho on the religiousity aspect of things. I do not subscribe to the “Jesus as a myth” school of thinking. I do believe that cults that deviate into the brainwashing & control behaviours are dangerous. Christ received his greatest opposition from the Religious leaders at the time, but he did not call the “faith” (of the jews he lived amongst) wrong, but railed against the the leaders calling them a “Brood of Vipers” etc. for perverting the spirit of the God given faith.
All the things Jesus taught & lived brought freedom from the bondage of sin & the law, and he is probably the #1, most misunderstood, misquoted person in history. That being said, I’m not trying to prostelise here, just saying that the search for truth is a lifelong endeavour, enjoy it & let the search bring meaning & purpose to your life.
dreidel music
Oh, look. See how they are painting the brick building to preserve it and prevent environmental deterioration. How considerate and thoughtful.
Got to paint something with all that spinning.
Good job Marina… you have an effervescent way about you that is very attractive.
I don’t think I like that Oreilly guy. Something just bugs me about him. Seems a little conservative. Nothing wrong with a ‘little’ conservative but I dont really lean either way. I feel like we need to strike a balance as far as LEFT and RIGHT go.
He’s a little of both. Since he isn’t exclusively one side or the other side, both sides despise him, especially the fringes.
nice
Keep it up and you will soon have a tv show
On discovery channel !!
She definitely deserves her own show
well done…you have O’Reilly eating out of your hand…
word request: eating out of your hand – who the flip thought that one up?…
Good show Marina! For once he leveled the playing field. This is a way an interview should go.
I noticed he voice his religious beliefs on the show. But that’s Bill and he will voice what ever he wants. That’s fine, he’s just exercising his right. Would have been slightly funny if you said Happy Hanuka back to him.
CaptainJack, whats your problem? if some one believes in something other than the everything and nothing mentality brought on by the extremist religion called Atheism that it must then be labeled as “just exercising his right” in-order for it to be permit-able. this is America, we ARE founded on Christan values. Держитесь принимайте идти дальше и не забудь откуда вы пришли!
кстати, ты молодецка Мариночка
I have no problem with people expressing their religious beliefs. I just didn’t care for him bashing the Governor in Washington State, about the Atheist posting their display.
The Bill of Rights protects freedom of speech, freedom of religion, etc. This is what I meant about exercising our rights.
The Atheist weren’t just posting their display, they were attacking Christians. Bill O’Reilly never had a problem with them expressing their beliefs (or lack there of) he only had a problem with the Gov. when she allowed hate and attacks to be displayed.
What you don’t understand is the Gov was required by Washington State law to allow it to be displayed. Bill attacked her for following that law. That’s the point of my argument with Bill. Bill or his assistants failed to research that information. I guess it’s only egg on his face. That said it was Bill job to create controversory. He does this on many shows. That’s what sells his program you love to watch. This is not the first time the state has a similar issue. Read this: http://atg.wa.gov/pressrelease.aspx?&id=11892
But religion doesn’t enslave minds or harden hearts, as the plaque said.
It doesn’t matter what our opinion is whether it does or doesn’t. It’s about freedom for all religious beliefs. There is nothing in the constitution that says which religion has the right over another.
You are completely missing the point. Bill had no problem with them posting a symbol (like the christains and jews did), he only had a problem because they were posting HATE SPEECH. Not to sound insulting, but make sure you pay attention to the story before commenting on it.
metaphysics are alive, not dead like your spirits…what and why do you say slightly funny? Get your face out of that mirror
“dead like your spirits..” hummm.. you must be assuming you know my beliefs are. Never assume.
15,000,000 a month????
And to think…. I knew her when nobody ever heard of her….
Some of us are loyal fans, Marina! Not these bandwagoners!
Yea, I looked at a December lesson last year and she had like only 10 comments on it. Wow things have changed.
I also didn’t have the website back then I think… what I did was I backdated all the posts so that they would show up in the time-line properly. I think I only created my website this year. I think..hmmm… I had the domain from the beginning though. (I can edit my comments.. why can’t others???)
Hummmm. Post failed. Ok see my reply below this box.
This page appears you had it back then, but this page comments dates are weird. (I can edit too. Check subscriber level permissions)
Yes prospero, I have been following Marina since her first video, but didn’t become a subscriber until June this year.
I remember visiting this domain, but the link was forwarding to the YT HotForWords channel. I think Marina may be correct about developing the site early ‘08. It was interesting to watch all of the changes over time and how the number of subscribers and comments have grown.
Good for you. But really though just because some one just started watching her show now, and not 8 months ago (when I started) or longer, they shouldn’t be hated on. Maybe they just weren’t exposed to her show.
I didn’t “hate on” anybody. It was tongue-in-cheek.
Great job on the O’Reilly Factor last night. My favorite Internet superstar on my favorite tv show. Happy Birthday to you and Merry Christmas.
SteveD328
Congrats that you’re getting on “mainstream media”, but why do O’Reilly’s show… he’s so perverted and flirting with you it disgusts me. Besides, it’s political, in his mind there is a war against Xmas (there Billo, I used Xmas, f— you), and he’s trying to fight against the secularists he believes is waging that war… please please don’t allow yourself to be used by this sleazy sex-offender!
BEAUTIFUL!!! No O’Reilly-ego-trip-master-and-servant-manipulations! Just a mutually respectful exchange of knowledge between peers!!!
…Though I did see where someone commented that he was a bit ‘interruptive’. Perhaps a director pushing him for time constraint? More likely, I think, maybe humbled into blabbering before such beauty, intellect, and grace concentrated in such a lovely manner.
Good to see Marina laugh,
it went so well
Bravo, Marina, Bravo!
Her laugh is precious, especially on TV
Hi Marina!
I’m in Seoul and missed your televised appearance on O’Reilly
so thanks for posting the video! Brava!! You are ABSOLUTELY the only aspect of that show I ever watch. To balance the political (and intelligence) scales I propose that the HFW community petition to get you on Keith Olberman, Rachel Maddow or better yet…….Colbert!
Cheers, Q
Where do I sign?
You can’t “dreidel” O’Reilly!
(…Okay, that may have been pretty bad.)
You were AWESOME last night! It’s always so
to see you on T.V. 
I wished Bill had mentioned your birthday! 
I agree with Che those graphics really were annoying! I would have much rather seen more of you! You do a much better job of editing than those FOX folks!
(cute little rhyme there)
By the way What was deal with Bill
I lost count on the number of times he said “flip-out” in regards to Governor Blagojevich
He said “flip,” as in the Governor would flip/break/confess things if faced with a potentially long jail sentence.
You’re welcome.
hahahaha at 2:19 “The first is the big one!”
Marina, On the 6th of december we have saint nicholas. Its a thing that only some (not many) people (only brits?) have. It passed down. We only get about 4 small things but it’s still st nick on the 6th december. Strange huh?
You did my word request Xmas
Time constraints only allowed for a brief explanation eh?
Didn’t care much for the graphics
Felt they interrupted more than added
Wow, I thought exactly the same thing
They were like ‘jump edits’ the transition was not smooth.
It is pretty
to see our girl on TV, but I prefer the final product when M is in control. She does such a great job of balancing the content. My biggest complaint with most outside coverage is the focus on M’s sexuality. Sure, Teach is a very attractive women, but some of the coverage belittles her etymological expertise, friendliness, humor, compassion, techy geekiness, and professionalism. Nothing compares to M’s personal touch.
Well, Klaus did a pretty good job, too.
Bill interrupts too much, I think M makes him nervous so he starts blabbering
…don’t let Sinead see your Gravatar,
….else she will tear it in half
We cannot break the Law, we can only break ourselves upon the Law.
I love that giggle.
Came thru fine.
Very entertaining and well done.
Why didn’t he mention your birthday?
Marina, Marina, Marina You outdid yourself. Magnificent!!!
First, thank you for pronouncing my name correctly at 5:05
You always do. Perfect!!!
Then, excellent job and teaching that old dog a new trick about Xmas. Bravo to you. If he were to give you more time you would be able to tell us a lot more.
My goodness. I didn’t even know about the Dreidel origins, which I should have. I also grew up in NYC and had many Jewish friends, so I should have known that.
Marina, you were absolutely charming and gorgeous.
Excellent!!! I’m very proud of my teacher.
Great Job as always Marina!
Hope you had a wonderful Birthday too
I cannot watch the vid; it is private. {Somebody needs a friend.}
try it now
Yeah! (notice the new gravatar?)
I’m trying to watch the video but it keeps telling me its a private video.
{PD needs a friend, too.}
try it now.. there will be a better copy soon as well.
Watched you last night. Great job, M!
My new gravatar to relate to M’s disscusion, (and a little bit of flag waving.)
This was your best appearance to date Marina.
And I know you are going to do many, many more.
O’Reilly loves you.
You are first and foremost…
I believe dreidel to be Yiddish, and the Yiddish term in turn is from the German. Nice word-play by Bill… the “No Drehen Zone”
