Celebrity Idiots -- The Jamie Fox and Hulk Hogan Edition
Lisa: Wow! I'm very surprised! You're speak Russian...wow! "I don't have a Cyrillic keyboard, but if I did I would say "zdraswheatia...cock deliya?" If I would were sure that your browser displays the Cyrillic alphabet, I wrote: "Здравствуйте. Спасибо, дела отлично!" or "Zdravstvuite. Spasibo, dela otlichno!" )) Thanks for your words about our people and my English. In any case, there are many ways to improve it, isn't it? "Proud to know you, O.J. Simpson and Hulk Hogan notwithstanding. :)" lol. It's only a different view at that problem. Well, I said that I understand their feelings, but I do not justify his (O.J.) actions. What about Hulk Hogan... You can to talk what you want and you can think that I'm an idiot (maybe that's right, I don't know :)), but I love this man )). Actually, I'm a very big fan of world wrestling. BTW, 5th April event happened, which I have been waiting for a long time - the 25th anniversary of Wrestlemania. But this is not important now, because this mania disappoint me - the same from year to year. And I am going back to the 80s over and over again, at least there were worthy wrestlers. Happens, that a man/woman behaves like idiots, but if this person is celebrity, it becomes public. "we can still be good friends." I totally agree with you! And I wish you all the best too.— April 21, 2009 6:30 a.m.

Lallaw: "Under your belt", I like it! I recorded this idiom in my note )). Thanks a million. Actually, even you know a lot of idioms, it's without avail. What is the use of an idiom, if you don't know how to use it. So thanks for the explanation. My native language is Russian. I live in Russia, Saint Petersburg. I don't wrote about it, because I thought maybe you're not interested. magicsfive, thanks :).— April 21, 2009 3:01 a.m.

It's funny ))). "he thought it was actually a dog that was cooked" )))). No, I love English. In this language has such a play on words, that I rejoice as a child discovering analogues of these words and expressions in my native language. Really. I watch movies in English and it's not the same as watching it in the translation because the translation is very often distorts the meaning of words and phrases. I don't like it. This play on words very often impossible to convey in translation and its substitute other expressions and often unsuccessful. For example, in "Back To The Future" Marty McFly says: - Gimme a Pepsi free. - Kid, if you want a Pepsi, you gotta pay for it. It is clear, that Marty wanted a Pepsi without a sugar, but there is no expression "Pepsi free" in my language. Translated as: - Gimme a diet Pepsi. - Kid, if you want a Pepsi, you gotta pay for it. Well, the whole meaning was lost... So that, English is a very interesting language )).— April 20, 2009 2:53 a.m.

Thank you, Josh! Perhaps, the most interesting in learning languages - the diversity of linguistic expressions, in my opinion. English is very intresting language.— April 19, 2009 2:48 a.m.

Mmm, I see. In my country they say "be above this [situation]". Josh, thank you for the explanation, definitely the new expression for me. Thanks.— April 18, 2009 3:05 p.m.

About OJ. I didn't knew about all details of his life, so I wrote to apply only to that situation. Thank you for the information. I read about him on the Internet. Why some people don't living peacefully... Though, this people will be at all times, like wars.— April 18, 2009 1:23 p.m.

josh: "your English is good enough for us to understand you here." Thanks. To tell you the truth I don't understand this phrase "took the high road". It's not an idiom... I'll be very grateful if you explain to me in which cases this phrase used.— April 18, 2009 10:54 a.m.
Celebrity Idiots -- The Jamie Fox and Hulk Hogan Edition
From the lates news: "...Hogan said Wednesday that he "took the high road" and "didn't do the O.J. Simpson thing" despite the pain of his bitter divorce fight with wife Linda. Hogan's lawyer said the quotes leaked to a gossip column have been taken out of context and the full article proves Hogan "never condones the O.J. situation." This is exactly what I'll try to say: "didn't do the O.J. Simpson thing".— April 18, 2009 7:35 a.m.

lallaw: "it is a good thing you are not trying to convince anyone, as you wrote. In that, at least you have succeeded." You're arrowy. Do you know about it? :) "it is also true that the "law" part of my user name" Now I know about it. You know, I'm sure you all understand that English is not my native language... I study English not so long time and I can use a word that not always appropriate to the situation. So I'm sorry for that. I love English and I love the history of United States and I love people, living in this country. And I like to communicate with you guys. Yes, my behavior is not always correctly, sorry. Well, it was a lyrical digression from the subject of our conversation :). So you don't think that I'm strange. In any case, you break me in pieces now like a dog tearing cloth. Just do it. I'm ready )).— April 18, 2009 5:17 a.m.

Josh: Yes, perhaps I must not been to use the word "understand". I understand (maybe on this place must be another word) his feelings and his anger, but this doesn't mean, that I understand his deed (killed his wife and her lover) and also this doesn't mean his innocent. I think, Hogan feels the same feelings. Hogan showed unrestraint and he should not have been to express his thoughts aloud. I understand OJ (his feelings), but I don't understand why he did it (also with your example). And the act committed by OJ will haunt him all his life... I don't know how else to explain. "Also, OJ did cheat on his wife. He's admitted that." No, it's bad, but it doesn't apply to what I trying to explain. We consider only the situation with those feelings, but not the range of his actions. I'm sure, Hogan also thinks and analysies the situation... Without a doubt, in their divorce they are both to blame. But as one wise man said: "Love is selfishness on both". Everyone pulls blanket on himself. They are divorced, but both thinks and analysies the situation and also both are looking for her/his fault in breach of their relationship. magicsfive: "note the "law" in lallaw's name" You're funny )). "i thought u said u didn't want to argue" To argue? Not at all. I only try to explain my point of view on this situation, that's all. By the way, I'm not trying to convince anyone.— April 18, 2009 1:56 a.m.
