Gargle…
Is it better to gargle with Gin, or Vodka?
I do not gargle. In almost the entire video, it is clear that there is an artificial video effect; but, for some reason I do not know, at 1:11 you come across as a real child!
Regarding the Martini lesson, the best “My name is Bond, James Bond” is in the very first Bond movie — Dr. No. I don’t drink – on two wine tasting events, after merely sipping wine to taste I started hurting at the back of my head. But I am OK with eating chocolate deserts that have alcohol in them.
you are so cute at the end when you say gargle
no dije nada…
how about [Lothario]?
i wonder if there’s a plugin that makes it possible to ignore certain people.
Here Alex maybe this will help. Just take two and call me in the morning. Ignorance plug in. lol

Wher did all the illiterate hitchilers come from?
Where did all the illiterate hitch hikers come from anyway? Oops spell check!
SALOP

Look at you ending sentences with prepositions. Who is illiterate now?
From whence came all the illiterate hitchhikers?

Right I am fed up. I think firefox is slower on my computer anyway, And for some reason ad block still works in opera, I tried to go on a website and I got exactly what Marinas log in did. Just kept refusing me. Well I have had enogh. I can’t leave firefox. I just wont use it as much.
Marina joins the Chipmunks! Very funny!
I would log in and then find that the page said I was not logged in. I found out that if I then renewed the page, I was actually logged in. The Chipmunk comment was placed at the top of the page. No idea why it was placed as a comment on your posting.
It’s like I said, my computers have been slow all day. It must be server problems some where.
300 MB 2 HOURS OF UPLOADING AND THE BASTAD THING FAILED!!! GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
dude.
you should do at least one of the following.
go outside and find a chick you can fuck.
get some pr0n and jerk off.
get a punching bag and work out.
jump out of a window.
Hey, Whats all that about!
I am 16 and I am a student.. I do all that stuff anyway
Secondly Why the big attitude. Why is it I can’t post without being abused by you
If you can’t say anything nice.. Piss off
alright.
fuck some more. get some more pr0n.
What the hell is your problem! Are you on PMT or what!
obviously.
Ok, cool it cocky.
Alex, you have probably noticed that James enjoys a special relationship with Marina, due precisely to his interest in — and willingness to work on — technical aspects of this website, which are sometimes aggravating. Your advice might be appropriate for an ordinary bloke with ordinary aggravations; but when applied to James, it comes across as the pettiness of a common man mocking the trials of a genius.
lol.
evan, you have probably noticed that i have been posting here for exactly one year. just a hint.
but, alright, to prove that i, too, am a genius, i’ll start posting irrelevant crap in hundreds of postings all over the place. no, better yet, i’ll just post them one over another on one page. yeah, that should do the trick.

James, my videos are never 300MB. The largest are perhaps 70MB at the most. You need to compress more.
Mine are in wmv. That way I get the HD button garunteed. I am going to try doing it in mp4 now actually. So just see how it goes.

Have a word for you [ Bewilder ]
Well, would you look at that… 200!
It works for cats. OK I seriously need a mac now.
I agree.
Oops word request was [Asymptote]
Darn typo from last request.
Sometimes I have to gargle to clear my throat… even when I’m not brushing my teeth.
Oh, I just noticed the post # to the right. I guess it took a while to update only for the recent ones.
I would like to request the word [Aysmptote]
Picked up your calendar, july is the hottest month here and holds true for your calendar as well.
I remember the animated show Gargoyles that I didn’t care to watch.
Speedy learning, I like it. ^_^

Now that I think of it, YT should provide a frame-rate control so that you could adjust the speed of any video.
I bet she would sound sultry as all get out. H-e-y b-a-b-y w-a-n-t t-o- d-a-n-c-e. Cool CK I might try to hook up a potentiometer to my sound out put and see if that will work.
So you can get them stand-alone (non-integrated) with input/output?
I’ve had some apart to bend the pins back when they were losing contact, but they were solder connected and a bitch to get at.
That’s an idea – wouldn’t be able to watch her though.

Are we talking about plumbing blockages here?
Does he need a plumber’s friend
Do you mean the kind that is a stick of wood with a rubber on the end?
Yep that kind of friend. They call them plungers today.
Help these guys out Marina.
Sounds like the suspense is killing them.
Ok, well I’m curious to know if there is a relation between the two words (or phrase) “barley man” which is another name for a Roman Gladiator and the word (phrase) “burly man”, which is slang for a big guy. Thanks.
Word Request: Here is a poser, the word compass. More than its origins, which came first, this compass, or this compass?
(I didn’t forget to put ‘word request’ in italics this time.)
Eric M
Is there something special about word request in italics (vs. the word or phrase in square brackets)?
As to the present question, I would put the drafting compass first. I believe the Chinese were using lodestone bits floating on water as a compass a millenia ago, but people were calculating on spheres and cylinders hundreds of years before that. Anyway, you said pocket compass, so that would be a dry compass (ca. 1300 AD).
What do I get? An ipod? A week as M’s personal tickler?
Kewl! Nothing says ‘house of worship’ like stone demons barfing rain water off the sides of a cathedral.

Hey Marina. It’s nice to see that your a fan of Fred too. He is one funny kid.
WOW! I WON!!!
I’m Speechless; this is like the best morning I’ve had in a long time. I finally have the day off, So I got up a little late and checked in at HotForWords and found out I had won this weeks game. I can’t wait for my calendar to arrive……. This is the best website ever! You really made my day.
Thanks Marina you’re the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And Hottest looking.
Chiselstone
Best website, I know!
But why can’t everyone win? ^^
I hope next week’s word will be harder… I’m really motivated now!
Harder? I didn’t have an 2008/10/13.
Hey Chiseltone congratz for the win. Here is another memento for the occasion.

Доброй утро Марина,
Did you get the book I sent you (Willard Espy’s O Thou Uncommon Thou Improper Noun), about eponyms?
She’s still taking my advice to ignore the obsessive fans!
Hello? Is anyone here?
What’s with the numbers?
Strange aren’t they? this will be 75…..
My guess: she introduced the numbers to help pick a random winner.
But if you look some aren’t numbers there just dots.
The intent is for main comments to have numbers, replies have “decimal counts”. The dots are a bug (bug in either the display and/or the counter not being reset properly after encountering a comment with replies).
For us they may appear as dots, but the information they hold will help Marina in the future.
I don’t think these new thingies have anything to do with randomness. The original post gets an ellipsis (…), which is a character of three dots. The first level of reply gets that plus one more dot and a number starting with one, incremented by one for each additional level one reply that is made. Everything else seems to get just the ellipsis.
My conclusion is that because the above is so whack, they are experimenting right now. Whoever is programming the counters that hs4mm mentions is struggling to get it to work the way they want and is jiggering things to achieve it. It doesn’t seem (from the outside anyway) that a clean, logical process is being put in place.
They seemed to have straightened things out a bit. Now the first and second level msgs have numbers and all lower levels have dots. Maybe they will fix those later. I still don’t see why they are needed; every msg has a date-time stamp if it is a reference they are going for.
I don’t see any numbers
Che go to this comment and look over to the inside edge of his comment box and you will see a faint number.
http://www.hotforwords.com/2009/01/29/gtw-game-xiii-answer/#comment-106938
Maybe my monitor needs adjusting but I don’t see any numbers.
Ok do this go to the same corner and run your mouse curser over the corner area, when you see it change from a pointer to and “I” then press your left mouse button and drag until you see it change to blue. Then you will get an idea of where the numbers or dots are at. This will be what it looks like after you mouse it.

Oh! now IC
.
.
I’m not here …..
GRRR!! I got logged out again, I was going to film it so you could see what it was doing, but bas usual whenever you show someone a problem it never works…. Just like last time.. If it happens again Marina I will make sure i film it first time round, if it is any help. I clicked on cassanova ( i knew it would be fine) then clicked back here and I was logged in again. I also cleared my cookies ( I only did this when I got logged out in the first place)
I have the same problem, just that it applies for all websites!
I get logged out of every account when I close Flock.
I’m trying to get to the bottom of it, I got 2 Flock employees helping me solve the issue. But one thing is certain, it is only a browser problem, and it occurs on Firefox 3 type browsers.
HFW has a strange log in system, I have to try a few times before I get lucky and finally get signed in.
And I have to sign in every day. :/
That’s odd ChemiKal. If I stay on the same computer at home and don’t log out and the next day I am still logged in. But I never shut down my computers except once a week so they can rest for 10 minutes and sometimes then I am still logged in. I use FF3 and it’s suppose to remember the passwords and login features for you. I don’t like using IE7 or 8 it’s such a memory hog and slower than FF3. I rebooted this morning because I thought my computer was slow and when I turned the computer back on I was still logged in to HFWs and my Email.
Same here Mike, I’ll ‘Save & Quit (FF3) with tabs still open, computer will shut off but when I turn computer back on all tabs open and I will be logged in.
Sometimes I’ll get logged out for some strange reason like when Marina tweaks the site.
Yea that’s the only time I get logged out is if that happens. I learned when I was at the fire department that we would leave the stations computers on 24/7 and was told by city computer maintenance department to leave them on as it is better for them to stay on than to keep cutting them off and back on all the time. Plus we got a new computer every two years so it didn’t matter to them if they burnt out or not. By the time it goes bad it’s time to get a new one cause it’s out of date any way.
That’s the perfect example of how it should work!
Chemikal, go into FF tools and click options then privacy and make sure your “Always clear my private data when FF closes” is not checked. if it is then every time you close down FF it will clear your cache and you will be logged out of every thing. Uncheck it if it is and then hit ok. Here is a picture of what mine looks like unchecked.
http://i43.tinypic.com/10pr9td.jpg
I know, I’m familiar with the settings, thanks.
Actually clearing the cookies will log you out of accounts, cache is innocent.
But what I have is an exception, I’m still waiting for the “jolly” boys at Flock.com to reply to me soon.
Marina why is the site taking so long to reload after a comment is made? I have rebooted my computer and it still does it.
Fine for me.
Must just be a slow internet speed for me today.
Gargoyle and gargle. Two twin-mounted round-shaped turrets of philological filet mignon. Blue ribbon stock! Teacher, oh teacher. You are without a doubt very quickly sharpening our teeth and our appetite for words, and we will devour the next lesson I’m sure. Bring it on, we’re hungry!
Good evening from Australia Marina! I think you’re a fantastic teacher as well as being incredibly smart and sexy.
I was wondering if you knew what the word [testosterone] comes from?
Another day, another couple of votes…
So, I would think that the number 69 —->
is an [ambigram]? But, not sixty-nine.
[Desiderata] in the [Dark Night of the Soul]
Night everyone
Marina , what a fabulous ,entertaining,enchanting, and fascinating video. Did I hear you correctly when you say “another mystery solved by you guys”? The dragon story was intriguing; I’ll need to study upon that somewhat. As to your question I been known to Gargoyles (gargle) with a touch of hydrogen peroxide, salt water or mouthwashes, whichever is handy at the moment.
You and Gorby both look spectacular down at the North Rodeo.
Oh whats with these non-native google ads? Kinda strange google and you tube last couple days.
I used to do that John when I had a sore throat. Now that my tonsils are out I don’t have any more sore throats. So I just gargle with mouth wash.
DAMN! Last night I went to post to you Marina, but ended looking on wikipedia then going through related articles so I forgot to post.
I don’t know about you but in the uk Gargoyles go on churches. The one where I live (its about 1000 years old) has gargoyles on the top, to scare off evil spirits from the church.
You see a lot of gargoyles on english medieval buildings, I have never seen them clear water away though. And I have also never seen them anywhere but a church
Whats with all the ….1 ….2 ?
That picture of the merc looks like it was taken in the uk marina,

I heartily request these two words,
[heart] and [soul].
Perhaps the person requesting sole
might find this to his liking.
Maybe these songs will get you
in the mood to do the words Heart & Soul.
Huey Lewis – Heart And Soul
The YardBirds – Heart Full Of Soul
Congratulations for successfully implementing the new comment numbering system.
I have a couple of word requests: [masterpiece] and [internet]
Tim berners lee lived less than a mile away from where I live now
Cool…
You know, the idea of creating a network, along with the first struggles, occurred in 1957. Before 1957, computers worked on one task at a time, that was called Batch Processing. They were stored in cooled rooms, and specialists had to be called in to connect them. Programing at that time meant a lot of manual work, and the indirect connection to the computers lead to a lot of bugs, and it was nerve raking for the developers.
A remote connection was installed so they could work directly on the computer. This made possible a sharing of the processing power of one computer to multiple users.
The first networks were formed for scientific, military and commercial purposes, giving birth to Packet-Switching. (otherwise known as TCP)
It’s funny how we take things for granted now, but I guess that’s the nature of things.
Isn’t it exciting to be alive though?
Can you imagine that Marina didn’t have a computer growing up? She was at least 10 when the WWW was created, and 15 when Windows 95 came out. No wonder she turned to books. Being a smart girl that she is, what other activities could she have trained herself in?
I bet it’s a very exciting time for her as well, since she never would have dreamed of becoming an internet celebrity, while growing up.
The technology just wasn’t available until recently.
So, I commend her for taking advantage of a totally new thing, and succeeding to take part in what I think to be the most BAD ASS invention of the previous millennium!
Even if PCs had been around, she would never had gotten her hands on one. The communists banned private copiers (except under tight government control) because they could be used to publish anti-government material. Imagine what dissidents could do with networked computers?
BTW, nerve raking should be nerve racking (nerves being tortured on the rack), but nerve raking sounds even more painful.
BBTW, batch processing, with the invention of Twitter is now called bitch processing.
Bitch processing, muhahaha!
That’s genius!
Thanks for telling me about the rak.
A Rak is also a type of looser dragon, described as a large winged creature with glowing red eyes, that can fly in the air, run like a deer and swim like a fish. Inside its body is a glowing furnace of fire which allows the creature to breathe out smoke, but not fire.
That’s some kind of creature from Oz.
“Nerve raking” aside, what tipped me off that Chemikal isn’t American is his overall superior use of English.
Oh, and your “bad ass” will be merely wimpy when machines begin to invent and can canive towards a goal.
Remember “I robot”, with Will Smith?
So have no fear, Will Smith will save all!
?
You’re right, Marina. The video was funny sped up.
I want to know the meaning behind the word Fallacy.
[blah blah blah] [] [dog] [Fallacy]
Gee cap its in bright red letters just above the comment box, at least I didn’t attempt to denigrate the commenter.
[denigrate]
I know pal that’s why I got a big kick out of the way you did it. I thought it was cool.
I would like to request the word [suitcase]
keep up the videos, beuty
Suitcase? You mean a case that you put your suits in? I can’t imagine how they came up with that.
That’s just like a glove box on a car. I don’t put my gloves in it. I store my registration and tickets there.

What about the [driveway] (that we park on) and the [parkway] (that we drive on)
For years I dreamed I would be that guy in those mentos candy commercials, that guy who just as he’s climbing into a cab holds the strategically placed mentos mints in hand and winks, it’s classic

You sure you don’t mean [tit for tat]?
I’m definitely a gargler. It’s usually the finale to a serious Listerine work around – sometimes in lieu of brushing. Usually both.
[Tit for tat] Marina. I would like to know something too.
Which side of the bed do you you sleep on and does it have any particular significance to you? ( innocent enough )
My curiosity could be equally satisfied if you would be kind enough to investigate the phrase [TAKES THE CAKE].
Could it come from cake walks?
Sasquatch gravatar! Are you a fellow Washingtonian?
Ontarian. Canadian not Californian.
We’ve got Bigfoot too, you know. It’s probably the same one.
It’s probably me.
Explains the twisted humour anyway – I think it’s something in the water up here.
WHOA
Looks like I’ve been GPS tagged – Damn!
I suppose it could just be my imagination. Nevertheless, I really have no interest in fighting about it.
Us Sasquatch are peaceful creatures after all.
There goes that humour I was talking about.
hmmm how about [Futile]
I’d resist that.
huh? lol
i was wondering were the word [mushroom] came from
I SECOND THAT! Yum, I love mushrooms.!
Ohhhh kewl, we are now enumerated.

52, that’s a good number, no?
What numbers Karl? I missed some thing again.
That’s Ok Karl is barely see them now. Yours has changed from a 52 to just three dots. I don’t understand the numbering system
I gargle after brushing my teeth. I tried to do it at the same time once and made a mess of my bathroom.

@ Captain Jack. Look right under the vote for the sexiest geek thingy. You could get a grant to fix your boat, buy a computer, run some fiber optic cable did I mention fix your boat and it’s all free no pay back, cool huh. I have some land in Florida if your interested.
No seriously my friend applied for a government grant for medical expenses and got it in no time. 
Yes, Marina, I gargle with Listerine, Lavoris, Scope or whatever antiseptic mouthwash can buy. I think it’s healthier.
After all, I wouldn’t want to get sick just by being near you. I would never want to make you sick, either.
Tomorrow, I’m going to shop for groceries so I can watch the Superbowl on Sunday, and I might buy more mouthwash, too!

I was checking in to see if anyone answered my gargoyle joke
Water is good to gargle with and bathe. Vodka works too. Speed like paper flies. [mango] vinegar[wine]
Hey Marina — This is totally OT but I was wondering if you could recommend some books for a friend and I. We’re both prepping for going into Arts & Letters and specifically Languages and Philology while finishing up our first degrees and looking for new reading material (the local library is sooorely lacking).
She’s going into textual philology and I’m looking at comparative with an archaeological slant … though right now we’re both just trying not to get rusty while we wait for our acceptance letters.
Are there any books your (or Captain Jack) could recommend for us? I just finished Orrin Robinson’s Old English and Its Closest Relatives and that was a great read.
What are your favourite stand-bys?
Thanks for the lessons! We both watch (and rate!) every day.
With Care:
Saffron aka Skia Strix
my background is anthropology and comparative studies. can you tell me more about the archaeology slant? any particular time period or location? have you considered reading up on human population movements based upon linguistic and genetic research? some interesting stuff there. i’ve read, archaeology, language and history i liked it. there are some socio-linguistic and linguistic anthropology titles i’d recommend if your interested.
buzzword — It was actually following the NG Genographic Project that lead me into this line of study!
Before that I was planning on a double degree in Archaeology and Classics (I already have my Greek and Latin) … the Archaeology was a choice made after a couple years of waffling between Archaeology and Anthropology which I decided on after an acquaintance studying at Oxford told me “Buildings over bodies baby!” (it’s darn catchy and it stuck)
Since then I’ve started studying Sumerian/Akkadian/Cuneiform and the brilliant reconstructive work they’re doing (re)building P.I.E. … in my spare time though I’ve also started teaching myself to read Anglo-Saxon and Occitan so my interests are kind of split between Levant c. 5000BCE and Western Europe c. 1000-1300CE
I would LOVE some recommendations if you have any.

Hi!
There is a thread in the forum named Good Resources for Research ONLINE that may help …..
Homework: Nope. No gargle for me. Good game, though
! Thanks.
I would like to know how an eye[lash] and a [lash] from a whip (ie the slave got 50 [lashes] and didn’t bat an eye[lash]) could possibly be related.
I’m at the apple store trying out the iPhone. This thing is tiny.
It’s much smaller than my $500 dollar palm life drive. Takes some time to get use to. Video quality is awesome though! I think I’ll go look at some Mac Book Pros. Catch you all later. I’m still having Internet issues. 
___/)___
Yea it was a bit fun to play with. The keyboard is hard to get use to but I think in time I’ll be able to type like I did on my old cellphone. I’m rather fast on the T9 typing.
Late next month, my contract with Sprint will be exhausted and I can switch phone companies and pick up an iPhone.
Hey Captain Jack, I’ve had my iPhone only 6 days now and I love it. Surprisingly, I got used to the screen keyboard very quickly. Once you learn to aim for a particular spot, you’ll be typing quickly in no time. Much better than using the old stylus on my old Palm Pilot. It’s really easy to navigate and with 3G I can play HotForWords videos in real time. The ability to scale the web page quickly is awesome feature.
They can’t record videos can they?
Also you get used to the keypad but sometimes it is a pain in the ass
Damn I missed the game!
I didn’t even see it for only about half the page would load. Grrrrr! Oh well. I’m having fun playing on this 
Powerbook Pro( ooops I’m so used to calling my old laptop a power book pro) MacBook Pro. The keyboard is hard to get use to for I use a funky Microsoft keyboard that is so post to reduce wrist strain, which it does very well. I can’t see how I ever used a flat keyboard. It’s like reaching through a large donut and trying to type with your elbows touching your stomach.Aaaaahhh love this high speed internet. It feels like I’m back at home again…..
Well this has been fun. I should get back to doing some shopping and get back to the yacht. I wonder if it’s sunk yet. LOL…
Look on the bright side. If your yacht sank you’ll still have access to high speed internet and can review HotForWords lesson on S.O.S.
Hummm no…. I live on my yacht. I would be very pissed.
Jack check Amazon.com, I found some new refurbished on there pretty reasonable for what I consider for a price of a Mac. Damn what a url. I hope it works. It’s straight to Amazon’s Mac store.

When I’ll spend more than 2Gs on a computer, it will have to be on something closely resembling Optimus Prime
Just with more added features!
Good luck with that The one I am running now is about a 4 thousand dollar system
Great, because no one likes a laggy Super Mario campaign!

Super Mario , never played it it any good
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gcXFIvry-O8
what something more like this was i built it for, that and for it to be useable for more than just a couple years
F.E.A.R. what a charming game for gentlemen it is!
I liked doing parkour in Assassin’s Creed, and my 3.4Ghz dualcore handled OK. And I only spent $500 on it.
I’d like to hear some specs of a 4G system, It’s kind of mind boggling to me, because the prices here for electronics are much lower. For that money you could get a server going… and host some online multiplayer game, to score some cash in the process

Dear Marina,
Very funny lesson! Very cool gargoyles!
Homework: Yes.
Always.
Marina, this has ALWAYS been a really funny word to me: JUKE box:] thats my word request. im most interested in the word JUKE and why there is such thing as a juke box. Would u please help me?
THANKS:]!
Juke was an a dance involving… um, that is to say, there was a certain grinding of… well, I wouldn’t mentiion it in polite company.
Hey Marina, I was thinking about this one, and couldn’t imagine where it came from or why it is spelled as it is. I’d like to request [whet stone] as a word to research. Thanks for all your help!
-A loyal student and fan
I would like to request the word [babe]
Wow, speed lesson. I wish I could do that with all my classes. Damn, I really thought I had a chance for winning this one. Then again, I did have a chance, considering she pickes the winners at random. Eh I guess I’ll get a chance at some point.
I have a word request if I may, [bombastic] maybe it’s related to spastic.
. 
The word sounds so fluffy
is it me, or was that gargoyle just spoutin’ off?…
HW: no, i don’t gargle when i brush my teeth…i wait until i’ve rinsed them, and then gargle with a mouthwash…
i’ve lost way-y-y too many toothbrushes gargling while brushing…and they hurt coming out…
where did the word [vagina and vulva] come from/
I think you need to lay off of the caffeinated teas.
Home Work: I brush, floss and gargle.
Congratz to the winners.
I know you have probably been asked, but why is the adds in German? Just wondering.
That’s interesting Mike, the ad being in German. If that was placed there via Google ads, someone probably messed up entering the wrong URL, or their algorithm is broken.
the ad i saw was in English…fwiw…
Hey Tom, yea it’s changed now and is English on my computer too. It was a German site like Ebay. Now it’s Reclaim Your Brain. The add must be aimed at me.
Mine is still in German. ‘Swoopo’
Hi Mike, that’s funny, for me here in Calif., the ad is still in German.
I know you like a “change of pace” once in a while, but this seemed a bit much. Still, I understand a little humor now and then never hurts.
I would like to request the word [R-E-S-P-E-C-T] today. And no, you don’t have to sing it. In fact, I’m begging you not to. (no more chipmunks either)
As always, thank you for your consideration.
Yah… if nobody’s watching, I’ll take a good squeeze of the mustard container and gargle… what a rush!
Dear HotForWords: Thank you for all the fun and free education you are giving me. I have never enjoyed doing homework or coming to class so much.
I have a word request, or two. These are two related words, which share the same suffix. I am as interested in the meaning or origin of the suffix as I am of the words, which are [nubile] and [labile]. If you can only do one, take your pick.
Thank you,
Your faithful student.
No gargling for me, unless I have a sore throat. I brush and run.
Nice video, but your voice sounds much better on play.
I sometimes gargle just to wake myself up in the morning, since
6:30 AM is an impossible hour for me.
where did the word brazier come from I want to know because they are so beautifull these days
Hmmm … Brazier or Brassiere?
you dont know neither do I who cares as long as I see one
Here’s one.
That’s not one. That’s a least two, possibly even three or four.
Double barrel sling shot.
Over the shoulder boulder holder
SWOOPO the German company in the Google ad are located in Munich. There are job openings in this company, click and check it out.
I don’t gargle.
P.S. Marina! Stop consuming the chocolates.
Homework: Occasionally, I gargle
Marina sounded good as a chipmunk – heh heh!
Howie Mandell does Bobby
OMG That was so FUNNY!
All the comments have just disappeared
Now there back
No gargling here.
Just brush, floss, rinse.
Hummm, wonder what it would sound like if Marina sped up the video and was doing helium at the same time? (And singing a song at the same time)
I think Gorby would do more than just cock his head sideways.
So, Marina, you like it fast and furious? I think we’re incompatible, I prefer to take it slow and savour it.
Hey Marina, i’d like to request the word [babylon].
Related note: Biblical scholars were long puzzled by Jeremiah’s reference to “Sheshak” until someone realized it was atbash cypher for “Babel.”
Is [Babel] related to [babble]? Or [bible] and [biblos]?
Sorry, I do tend to [babylon] a lot at this site!
Still wondering if anyboby knows anyone who has received one of the mythical first 100 signed calendars.
[ Toast ]
I was one of many that had problems because the sight advertised PayPal, but would let you use it for pre-orders. I did get a calendar, but not signed.
I also couldn’t find a ‘chiselstone’ ( given by Marina as the winner on the HFW site ) as a commenter on this site for this contest. I’m confused.
chiselstone posted at 5:32 am. I have yet to hear of anyone receiving a signed calendar. I believe they went the way of Nessie, Sasquatch, and socks in the dryer.
I guess I was Lucky—thanks Marina!!!
I’m still waiting for the Christmas card.
I put a mythical signature on mine… and I can/will do that for everyone… just $4.95 plus s/h. You write down what you’d like written…
Like… thanks for coming to my class… wanna come to my place and scoop up all the turds on my lawn? Love Marina X0X0
How come the ads are in German?
SWOOPO, Versteigert Fur 56,60 eros, Ersparnis 81%
maybe google thinks your ip is from germany or something. it happens.
maybe the ads are from gargle.
deepthroat?
Exactly!
Man that is an old movie.
huh? it’s a movie? what?
hm. i somehow remember it to be … uh … more mouth-watering and … somewhat different …
umm. does it really say “eros”?
No it has the symbol for ‘eros’ I just wrote it in long hand.
*snicker*
eros / euros.
oops! OIC now
tks
At least your country puts some pretty colors in your money. Ours is just green and a little bit of color. But it still spends.
I had a friend in Wales named Euros Healy. Really!
… and here is the symbol €

i would like to request the word Onomatopoeia. please
Let me help you Evilnumber7. Marina has a new way of marking her Word Requests of [Onomatopoeia] by placing the brackets around the word request or Phrase Request.
TA Mike
Notice that it says Game XIII, not installment. See, Marina listens.
Marina, do you always gargle your martinis?
What brand vodka do you put in your martinis?
Looks like you like yours with an olive, I like my martinis with an onion stuff olive. Not all bars have the onion stuff olive but I keep a jar at home.
NOW I know where I’ve seen you before! (Notice the moustache.)
Oh! How civilize
I never gargle when i wash teath!
Funny video Marina!
Homework
No I don’t gargle. I just swish mouthwash. Very 
chipmunk lesson Marina! 
At first I thought something was wrong with the speaker! 
I just swish with mouthwash after I brush my teeth!
cute
I love doing that sometimes, like when I remixed artichoke… It said “it became someones choking on the vegtable, even though it did not.”
Ha, Be careful you imply Marina, Like on the fork video when it said
“hotforwords says NO to”
“intellegence”
You said do you gargle when you brush your teeth ? I personally don’t!
Brilliant… Cant wait for HD to hurry up!
X
Can someone go ahead and tell me who won? The video won’t load on Youtube mobile for lime another 2 hours and I really want to know now!
And how did the word lime sneak in there? LOL I am going crazy.
whccad690 (YT)
chiselstone (HFW)
Are you sure there wasn’t a 100percentjacob thrown in there?
Thanks
Sorry to disappoint but this is all that I see.
I think that was yesterday’s video. Here’s a memento for the occasion.
