Signed copy of Mutineer Magazine

signed-mutineer-bigI’ve been getting a lot of requests for signed copies of the Mutineer Magazine issue that has me on the cover, so I picked up a few copies that I can sign for you. Inside the magazine I discuss some drink related origins.  If you’d like to get a personally signed copy of this magazine sent to you, just order it below (to cover the cost of the magazine plus shipping) and I’ll send it right out to you.  There are a limited number of them, so grab one while it’s still available :-)

Name for autograph

Mike (aka PageDoll) is the next T.A.

Mike aka PageDollMy name is Mike (Pagedoll). I live in sunny southern California and am a San Diego native.

My hobbies include, Kicking up the sand in Glamis, “The sand toy capital of the world”. Cruising the beach on my bike. Occasionally racing ABA BMX at the local track, as well as a few nationals. Indoor go-karting, a swift round of paintball, and of course, hanging out on the HotForWords site.

My job is in the construction field, hardwood flooring sand & finish to be exact. I’ve been finishing floors for a little over 20 years now and take great pride in the work I do. My attention to detail has allowed me to work in some of the finest(and biggest) homes in San Diego.

I came across the HFW site over a year ago while clicking through YouTube for the very first time and have been hooked ever since. After watching I said to my self, “This girl is going places”. How understated that was. In the past year I’ve watched Marina go from a kitchen as a background to a blue screen, HD, and Twitpics from Cannes. Something tells me this adventure is far from over! Thank you Marina for taking us all along for the ride with you, its been a blast!!

People have often asked me about my screen name and its origins. This is my brief explanation. I have a wonderful friend named Page. I’ve known her my whole life and care about her as if she were my little sister.

We like going to concerts together, visiting Las Vegas every now and again for a weekend of madness, trying out fancy restaurants, watching episodes of Entourage, and just hanging out. Some words I would use to describe Page would be, beautiful, astute, elegant, witty, charming, and yes, Doll. As for the gravatar, Cinderella, in some ways, reminds me of her.

250 Million Video Views on YouTube!

250-Million-viewsHey guys and gals!!  I just wanted to let you know that I just hit a QUARTER OF A BILLION video views on YouTube!  That’s “like” 250 million views or 250,000,000!!! The equivalent to the world’s total population in the year 1 A.D.! If I was living back then, then every single person in the entire world would have seen my videos, but would they all have had Internet? Hmmmm…I wonder… Oh.. sorry.. got off track there!

Anyway, I will make a video shortly thanking you all!  But, with toxic black mold taking over my apartment, then zombies eating my head, followed by me having to move out of my apartment (still headless?) to escape the mold.. and now a FULL MOON hitting tomorrow, it will be a miracle if ever manage to make that video!!!

In the mean time, THANK YOU SO MUCH for making me reach that milestone!  You all ROCK, I love you!

Sexual Words in the Dictionary

dict-slangWarning… the article I link to is NSFW!  So do not read it if you are easily offended!!

Slate.com did a great piece on why it’s so difficult to put sexual words in the dictionary. First there were “moral” decisions by the creators of dictionaries, then there were legal reasons!  Believe it or not, even though the “F-word” first appeared in a dictionary in 1598, it then disappeared until the 1960s!  That is one of the reasons why the “F-word” and many other sexual words have so many false stories of their origins!

Anyway… I was thinking about making a few videos on YouTube describing the origins of these words.  People seem to use these words quite a bit on YouTube these days, so I don’t think I would be censored this time around.

Some of the origins are really funny.. and some of the false origins are even funnier.  So I think I could have fun making these videos.

What do you guys think?

Here is the Slate article.. check it out.
