A great Dane
By Stephen Tsai
The San Francisco 49ers recently made former UH offensive lineman Dane Uperesa an offer he could refuse.
The 49ers wanted to sign Uperesa to their practice squad with the hope of adding him to the full offseason roster.
But Uperesa politely — everything he does is respectful — turned down that offer. He also had turned down other offers from NFL teams.
That's because Uperesa, who spent the past two seasons on the Cincinnati Bengals' and then Indianapolis Colts' practice rosters, has decided to retire from football.
"It was something I was thinking about for a while," Uperesa said. "Football was always a vehicle for me."
Uperesa said he chased the pro dream but, in the end, decided, "I'd be happier trying to live life in the real world."
Uperesa's fiancee is in dental school at Creighton University in Omaha.
He has moved to Nebraska, and plans to pursue a master's degree at the University of Nebraska-Omaha.
"I wanted it to be a decision made completely by myself," Uperesa said. "Football was always a way to get things I wanted. I got a great education (at UH), and I had the best five years of my life (there). I met some great people. I had a ton of fun. Now it's over. I'm ready to move on. I'm very happy."

This is very off topic, but how do people feel about fireworks?
I wasn't a big fan of fire when I was a kid. OK, I might have been traumatized. When I was in New York, our seventh-grade class went on a week-long trip to D.C., where we bought fireworks. We were dropped off back at the school. I put a Roman Candle in my back pocket, then made the walk home. I noticed there was a kid behind me. I looked, and he had a match. That was the first, of many times in my life, somebody tried to light a fire under my arse.
Then there was my cousin, Todd Kubo, who taught me how to light a string of firecrackers, but wasn't too clear on when to let go.
So, no, I wasn't a fan of the big-bang theory.
But now my son does fireknife performances, and we've got an annoying neighbor who calls to scream at us at 12:15 a.m. New Year's Day, so I'm back on the fence on the issue. Your thoughts?

We didn't get to 600!
December 30th, 2008 at 11:21 am
so what about the JC letters of intent?
December 30th, 2008 at 11:21 am
Good going Dane!
December 30th, 2008 at 11:22 am
Good for Dane Uperesa. Nice to see someone furthering their education.
December 30th, 2008 at 11:23 am
As his agent said: "Usually, it's the other way around. We have to tell a player when it's over. He made his own decision."
December 30th, 2008 at 11:24 am
oxmoron:
I think we're all good on the JC letters of intent, although Chizzy probably comes in May instead of January.
December 30th, 2008 at 11:25 am
how about Dane as OL coach?
December 30th, 2008 at 11:27 am
Awesome of Dane Uperesa to make such a decision.
He was a terror at the tackle position! Best wishes to him!
December 30th, 2008 at 11:32 am
Great going Dane...Hawaii is very proud of you...!!!
Homey...let's shoot for 600 on this post...although it will be harder than the last one...we were so close....LOL
December 30th, 2008 at 11:32 am
But ... but ... I'd love for him to be a 49er!
Can't help but feel conflicted.
December 30th, 2008 at 11:33 am
Transferring over to the new blog - tried valiently to make it to 600
December 30th, 2008 at 11:33 am
Well done, Dane, that's a man who knows who he is and what he wants.
Hey, Tsaikos, be careful, I've heard there are cougars roaming on the last blog. Watch out, they might come over here now to hunt.
Jason, tighten your belt.
December 30th, 2008 at 11:34 am
I'd like the Tsaiko's help in topics for a new song. Na Leo will be doing our 25th anniversary CD in a few months and I'd like to write something new. Any ideas?
December 30th, 2008 at 11:35 am
Top 10?
Good for Dane. Would have been nice to have him in a 9er uni but hey, gotta satisfy the soul. Good Luck Dane!! GO NINERS BABY!!! Did I mention two of the Niners last 3 wins (St. Louis and J-E-T-S), we (the hotel) fed the team their final meal at their SC practice facility the day before the game? Dang it was sweet meeting all the players, coaches, admin. Shoulda took pics but I had to keep it prof. Oh well....that's my culinary story for you tsaikos today. Aloha!

December 30th, 2008 at 11:41 am
al:
your "soft" remarks about having to wait until February 2009 on coaching "changes" makes me wonder if you have "previleged" information that you are very happy or comfortable with and will not divulge to any of us - oh, I stay jealous, but you can tell us and we won't tell anybody!!
December 30th, 2008 at 11:41 am
yeah al, I like know too....
December 30th, 2008 at 11:43 am
What's your email, Nalani? I might have something you can use.
December 30th, 2008 at 11:43 am
nalanichoy@hawaii.rr.com
December 30th, 2008 at 11:44 am
yeah al - spill the beans
December 30th, 2008 at 11:47 am
Nalani:
Congratulations on your upcoming 25th year annivesary and we are honored to have met you and that you and your family have joined the Tsaikos.
How about a song of your experiences with the Tsaikos or what we represent in support of UH athletics.
Kinda corny, yeah?
December 30th, 2008 at 11:48 am
Hey I saw Esme on TV the other day.
Good Luck. Big Dane.
What is Joe Onosai doing these Days????
December 30th, 2008 at 11:53 am
A-House: I think those kinds of songs can be done in a general way (like "Friends") that groups of people take it to mean something special to them. What would you say are the 'keywords' that come to mind when you think of your relationship w Tsaiko's.
December 30th, 2008 at 11:54 am
Nalani - food, friends, food, football, food, family, food, fun, food....
December 30th, 2008 at 11:57 am
Football, food, friends, family, fun.
December 30th, 2008 at 11:58 am
I should refresh before I hit Submit ...
December 30th, 2008 at 11:59 am
song theme? how about a guys first date...
December 30th, 2008 at 11:59 am
Joe Onosai is head coach of Word Of Life Varsity Football team, for one.
December 30th, 2008 at 11:59 am
btw, we reached 600 on the last blog.
December 30th, 2008 at 12:00 pm
...ok homey, start me off, but I'm almost afraid to ask.....
December 30th, 2008 at 12:02 pm
Fireworks? I guess growing up in Waipahu you do become a pyromaniac. ST, yep I can see Todd "playing" with fireworks.
December 30th, 2008 at 12:02 pm
Thanks, Stretch and Jason for providing a response to Nalani!
Off to see MasaBoy!
December 30th, 2008 at 12:06 pm
...as I prepare for this special moment...who am I, what will she think, am I ready, what clothes to wear, cologne?, when is the right time for...
December 30th, 2008 at 12:07 pm
That made me hungry, bbl, going to cook breakfast food for lunch.
December 30th, 2008 at 12:14 pm
Hey, Nalani, how's this?
The times have carried me along,
the road behind me now
has grown so long,
stored in my memory somehow.
Brushed with Aloha's glow.
the twists and turns that passed,
is what the mirrors show.
My people and these Islands
have formed my heart and soul,
as I think back in silence
what always made me whole.
My songs are notes of love,
who's currency won't fade
just like sunlight from above.
This land is where my roots have grown,
becoming strong and deep.
Wherever I will go from here,
I will return and weep.
December 30th, 2008 at 12:16 pm
Could be a good song Homey, but being a girl band, I don't think we could pull it off. Maybe I can refer the idea to a boy band friend of mine.
December 30th, 2008 at 12:18 pm
Nalani,
If you like it I can continue, lol.
December 30th, 2008 at 12:20 pm
I like the last 4 lines a lot. Could use that.
Did you just whip this off the top of your head?
December 30th, 2008 at 12:22 pm
FloridaTed..Awesome..you may not know it but you are a poet...
Nalani..25 yers already?!?@@!! Seems just like yesterday. The music is still fresh and from the heart.
Congratulations on the first 25 years and wshing you guys 25 more!
BTW..hows about another one for the NorthShore area? Kaena side? Beautiful side of the island.
December 30th, 2008 at 12:23 pm
Off course, Nalani,
I just read your note that you're looking for ideas, this just came out off the top of my head, with some time.......
December 30th, 2008 at 12:24 pm
That was pretty nice, FloridaTed!
Wow, lots of excitement in this Humanitarian Bowl.
December 30th, 2008 at 12:25 pm
Nalani,
The four lines could make a good bridge.
December 30th, 2008 at 12:25 pm
nalani don't ever write your email address on a blog like you just did. instead use space,at, and write out dot. people will put it together properly, now you will be getting a lot of spam....nalani choy at hawaii dot rr dot com
December 30th, 2008 at 12:26 pm
and the spam you going get you can't eat with your rice and eggs
December 30th, 2008 at 12:26 pm
Funny you mention NSFan. I have already written a new one for Ka'ena with Ben Vegas. It will go on the new CD.
December 30th, 2008 at 12:28 pm
Really Ralph? Thx for the tip. I have a good spam filter, but hate to think I'm going to get more.
December 30th, 2008 at 12:30 pm
Nalani...AWRYTE!!! Been waiting a while for someone to pen a song for this beautiful place. It's been subject to some bad people tearing it up but now the community is getting involved so hopefully we can preserve this special place.
MAHALO NUI LOA!
December 30th, 2008 at 12:34 pm
Great Morning All!
Nice read about Dane Uperesa. Sounds like a "What I Did For Love" kinda thing.
Hey, if the BaseBows make it to the CWS maybe he can be the Beeg Fan!
December 30th, 2008 at 12:36 pm
I must say, it's kind of surreal to have someone from Na Leo be on this blog.
December 30th, 2008 at 12:36 pm
Then again, I can't believe I know Jim Leahey, either.
December 30th, 2008 at 12:36 pm
ST,
Who put the Roman Candle in the back pocket of your neighbor?
December 30th, 2008 at 12:39 pm
I can't believe I know Stephen Tsai.
December 30th, 2008 at 12:40 pm
Fireworks?
) (sorry, old joke 
)
Gotta have 'em for NY Eve...
Growing up in Kalihi is kinda like Waipahu; only with a little more throwing 'em at each other. (Always had an advantage over one certain "group" who used to "get it" 'cause we would pick up theirs, light 'em, and throw 'em back!
December 30th, 2008 at 12:41 pm
ST- I like looking at aerial fireworks from afar (ooh, aaaah). The smoke, I don't like... used to give me asthma. I don't care for the firecrackers (too loud) and the mess they leave behind. I always worry about injuries too. (I have a friend who is missing a couple of fingers from fireworks...)
December 30th, 2008 at 12:42 pm
Mike Shanahan is out — how about a return to San Francisco?
December 30th, 2008 at 12:43 pm
Roman candles...gotta be careful of that last one; sometimes backfire!
(Did Romans really use them as candles?)
December 30th, 2008 at 12:43 pm
I can't believe you know Jim Leahey either.
December 30th, 2008 at 12:43 pm
I guessed 63 schools. I forgot one of the WAC schools (Nevada). I suck.
December 30th, 2008 at 12:44 pm
And I can't believe Jason has a date.
December 30th, 2008 at 12:45 pm
Nalani,
Check ya email...
December 30th, 2008 at 12:45 pm
My bro-in-law always buys a lot of fireworks. So there's a cul-de-sac where they just fire away. And then we get the telephone call.
Angry neighbor: Hey, stop shooting fireworks. It's too damn loud.
Us: What? I can't hear you. The fireworks are too loud.
December 30th, 2008 at 12:46 pm
Wait. Jason has a date who's not Al?
December 30th, 2008 at 12:46 pm
Jason,
As OC?
I like Singletary as HC...
December 30th, 2008 at 12:46 pm
Hey, DPK:
No IMing Nalani.
December 30th, 2008 at 12:48 pm
talk about one i wasn't expecting, shanahan getting canned by the broncos, wow...
December 30th, 2008 at 12:48 pm
Apparently so, Tsai-rah, apparently so. Our 'lil blog son is growing up right before our eyes... snuff... sniff...sob...
December 30th, 2008 at 12:48 pm
WHITEY: There is a story about $$$ in the HA about what the ProBowl generates.
Of course the ProBowl in Miami is something that the owners feel would be a way of making perhaps more money. It will preceed the SuperBowl by a week.
Will be interesting if, say the Giants plays the Jets and most of the Giants and Jet players are elected to be All Pros. Needless to say I don't think those players will be playing in the Pro Bowl risking life and limb a week before the Super Bowl!
December 30th, 2008 at 12:48 pm
Is it any surprise that Nevada is wearing their all blue uniforms today at the Humanitarian Bowl in Boise?? Not the same shade of blue but close enough
December 30th, 2008 at 12:50 pm
The only person I ever IM is gigi... Once in a while she responds.
December 30th, 2008 at 12:50 pm
I think you should be okay this year, I think your "annoying neighbor" is in or on their way to Vegas
December 30th, 2008 at 12:51 pm
Congrats, Dane... have the BEST 2009!
ST- also- fireworks are costly. When the kids were young and pyro-crazy, I took them to other people's houses who had $$ to spend on fireworks and brought snacks or drinks. I could not blow up the hard-earned cash instead of buying food or clothes.
December 30th, 2008 at 12:52 pm
I used to IM homey until he blocked me.
December 30th, 2008 at 12:56 pm
It's good that Dane knows his own heart well enough to walk away. I'm sure he's gonna do great no matter what.
December 30th, 2008 at 12:58 pm
d1: Yeah, as OC. I absolutely love Singletary as HC. Bring back Shanahan, let him go crazy with Frank Gore.
But I doubt he'd go back to being an OC. There are so many HC openings, he's bound to get one.
December 30th, 2008 at 12:59 pm
re: Pro Bowl in Super Bowl city.
Who's gonna cover the Pro Bowl build-up? Stephen, would you take an assignment in the Super Bowl city during the first week between the Conf Championships and the SB? Don't the SB teams stay at home until the week of the SB?
December 30th, 2008 at 1:03 pm
49'ers looking for new OC....back to futility, an all running game going nowhere soon....back to the stone ages.....this brew for you-since i haven't found a good smiley site to tack one on here
December 30th, 2008 at 1:03 pm
Jason,
It would be interesting to see how Shanahan would approach re-building the Niners OL.
But like brew mentioned before, there's the Yorks!
December 30th, 2008 at 1:04 pm
ST, like you during small kid time I was a big fan, couldn't wait to take apart those Baby Camels and the bamboocha Duck Brand so it would last through the night. My wife has asthma and she suffers, so now I have to vote for a ban on fireworks other than the organized events.
Two New Year resolution wishes:
One, to all those idiots with the illegal fireworks, why don't you take the kala spent on this and donate it to the Hawaii Foodbank.
Two, Greg Alexander please sign up for a couple of the speed and quickness clinics to get ready for 2009.

December 30th, 2008 at 1:24 pm
fireworks...I have no problem with it IF:
1.) people keep within legal days/times to pop em off
2.) knuckleheads in Waipahu and Kalihi especially keep it only fireworks and not home made IED's, where people directly or indirectly get hurt.
3.) parents are responsible in supervising their kids so we don't end up with kids in the hospital and/or brush fires.
since people tend not to comply with the three, it's probably time to make em illegal, save for professionally staged shows.
December 30th, 2008 at 1:24 pm
Jason,
Hope you have a smashing time with your female friend (DATE!).The
next time you see her, you'll have a

DPK - my email software automatically recognized you as spam.
Nothing like portuguese sausage, over easy eggs, rice, and shoyu for lunch. For those aching to know, the portuguese sausage was Purity (costco 4-pack but ate just one of the logs), brown eggs (costco brown eggs with omega-3, ate only 3 eggs), small grain rice (from Don Quixote, forgot the brand name), and Aloha shoyu (lite, didn't want to take too much of the egg and sausage taste away).
December 30th, 2008 at 1:28 pm
Pretty funny, I was walking past a pet store on Kauai and there is a sign that says, "No male dogs allowed...." First thought was, damn, homey can't go inside the store.
December 30th, 2008 at 1:31 pm
hhhmmm... unless I leave early and catch the last flight out... That's a possibility - but it means getting in after 11pm. Too late??? O will the party be just getting started???
December 30th, 2008 at 1:31 pm
K-call - So far I'm in! If for some reason I do a MLiz or a jojo I will gladly pay Stretch a $30 penalty.
d1 - hey, you the Kalihi knucklehead? I don't mean the HD motorcycle engine either.
December 30th, 2008 at 1:33 pm
Wow, Robert Marve is leaving Miami-Florida. But there are restrictions to what conferences he can play in, didn't hear the WAC listed.
December 30th, 2008 at 1:33 pm
speaking of jojo- say a little prayer for jojo- not super bad kine but get owies.
December 30th, 2008 at 1:34 pm
Stretch - I wonder why it was male dogs?
MLiz - It's best you wankel with the rotary gang. We'll be thinking of you when d1 tackles that phantom of the opera song solo.
December 30th, 2008 at 1:35 pm
Kekoa - no need make cake for Jason. He's being a very naughty boy!!
Jason - accountants don't have to INTERACT with anyone, statisticians do. Biostatisticians are usually counseling physicians who have no knowledge of stats at all. (Sorry, professional pet peeve)

jm2375- you gotta "out-joke" Jason to win this round...
sample:
Mathematician: 3 is a prime, 5 is a prime, 7 is a prime, and by induction - every odd integer higher than 2 is a prime.
Statistician: Let's try several randomly chosen numbers: 17 is a prime, 23 is a prime, 11 is a prime...
December 30th, 2008 at 1:41 pm
IF djmitcho is flying Hawaiian and was on the 805am flight out of Seattle, then he has already landed. If he was on the Hawaiian flight leaving at 920am, he must be sitting in the Seattle airport, it is delayed and not supposed to arrive until 730pm.

There are three kinds of mathematicians:
those who can count and those who can't.

Why is the cougar making mathematicsl jokes?
December 30th, 2008 at 1:46 pm
A statistician is a mathematician broken down by age and sex.
December 30th, 2008 at 1:49 pm
A graduate student of mathematics who used to come to the University on foot every day arrives one day on a fancy new bicycle. "Where did you get the bike from?" his friends asked. "It's a `thank you' present", he explains, "from that freshman girl I've been tutoring. Yesterday she called me and told that she had passed her math final and wanted to drop by to thank me in person. She arrived at my place on her bicycle. When I had let her in, she took all her clothes off, smiled at me, and said: `You can get from me whatever you desire!'"
One of his friends remarks: "You made a really smart choice when you took the bicycle."
"Yeah", another friend adds, "just imagine how silly you would have looked in a girl's clothes - and they wouldn't have fit you anyway!"

A biologist, a statistician and a mathematician are on a photo-safari in Africa. They drive out on the savannah in their jeep, stop and scout the horizon with their binoculars.
The biologist : "Look! There's a herd of zebras! And there, in the middle : A white zebra! It's fantastic ! There are white zebra's ! We'll be famous !"
The statistician : "It's not significant. We only know there's one white zebra."
The mathematician : "Actually, we only know there exists a zebra, which is white on one side."
December 30th, 2008 at 1:54 pm
Congratulations to Dane Uperesa! That was an incredibly noble, and wise decision. I especially like the part of moving to Omaha to support his wife and continue his own education.
December 30th, 2008 at 1:54 pm
I wonder if one of the friends in Jason's story is chawan???
December 30th, 2008 at 1:54 pm
A statistician can have her head in an oven and her feet in ice, and she will say that on the average she feels fine.
December 30th, 2008 at 1:56 pm
Was the girl wearing a bright orange jacket?
December 30th, 2008 at 1:57 pm
homey,
i'm sorry for burning a bright orange image of myself into your tv. too bad i didn't look like jessica alba or something. at least then you wouldn't mind looking at it. my other friend with a nice big hd tv said i also burn bright on his screen too. for awhile i think k5 was trying to avoid showing me, but i've changed seats for the classic and i sit in the middle. they have no choice now. hehe.
nalani, no worries about me begging for food at your door. i've got all the emergency essentials (sans generator) to survive for awhile. tailgating gear is also good for camping and emergency cooking. propane, lanterns, lights, etc.

RE: Fireworks
Nowadays I set off paperless fireworks near midnight and look at the aerials for 5-10 minutes. But when I was a kid--errr, a smaller kid-- it was slingshots and crackerballs with penny (bottle) rocket battles
Tubes of Roman Candles much taller than I as artillary and sparklers on long steel rods for sword fighting and later recyled as rebar. Not too many cherry bombs and large fireworks--parents didn't want me losing fingers. 
Dangerous and I wouldn't want children to play with those these days, but give me some now and...

chawan - I always thought ics majors were weird.
December 30th, 2008 at 2:09 pm
So...jm2^11-2^8-2^6-2^3+1 - What do people mean when they say they're giving 110%? I hate that (and similar) expressions!
December 30th, 2008 at 2:11 pm
SteveM - go to Kekoa's house...., then homey's, then d1's, then.....
December 30th, 2008 at 2:12 pm
And how do they know it's 110% What if it was really 104%? Would that have made a difference? Of course the statistician would say that is an insignificant amount.
December 30th, 2008 at 2:14 pm
homey,
thats a known fact.
December 30th, 2008 at 2:14 pm
cc - you know I was joking right?
December 30th, 2008 at 2:15 pm
DPK - i was out for a while and gotta run away again soon, but will look at what you sent and get back to you.
December 30th, 2008 at 2:15 pm
brew - who knows.
Being a statisician means never having to say you're certain... unlike being an accountant, where they have to figure out where every penny went!!!
December 30th, 2008 at 2:15 pm
My son was watching the Momma Mia DVD and I happened to walk by as they were singing Dancing Queen and I can't believe I stopped and sang along...
December 30th, 2008 at 2:18 pm
Translation: BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
December 30th, 2008 at 2:18 pm
nalani,
no worries, i don't even live there yet, so i wouldn't stop by anyways.
but i'm always worried about a real hurricane or something. all our power is above ground, and they'd take forever to get our hill back up and running.
December 30th, 2008 at 2:19 pm
must be raining at the job site and golf course cuz stretch is on the blog all day long and its almost time to catch the flight back to oahu
December 30th, 2008 at 2:19 pm
Do you jm#### take Mr. jm#### to be your lawfully wedded husband? "I'm not certain"
December 30th, 2008 at 2:20 pm
what do you guys think about this fireworks tax that the city has imposed on us? its a tax, hidden in the ruse of "permits" to control the burning of firecrackers. they used the whole asthma and health thing to get the council and senate to pass this tax. look at all the other "legal" and off the shelf stuff. they produce more smoke and noise than the regular firecrackers. taking advantage of our cultural and historical background by taxing us like this.
ok, back to making fun of jason.
December 30th, 2008 at 2:23 pm
Hey gang...good afternoon...whew...busy day...
Dang, Shanahan getting the boot was a shock...wow, didn't see that coming....
Fireworks...it is tradition in Hawaii and we are losing too much of that. Like anything else, you just need to be responsible. I still burn a lot of firecrackers from 11 til just after midnight....it used to be an all day thing but now that the parties have gotten smaller and smaller, I don't play with as much fireworks as I did when more people were around....
My question is, when did we become a society of no responsibility....I mean, people say to ban fireworks because they have the potential of causing injury...well, everything falls into that category...more people are killed/injured/maimed from automobiles than fireworks every year yet there is no call to ban those things.....
I remember as a kid, when we rode our bikes or played on a jungle jim or climbed a tree, we didn't worry about falling down and getting hurt...and if we did, we just got up brushed it off and went about playing...none of this, OMG we have to sue somebody for not labeling something properly...or not having sawdust under the jungle jim.......boy have times changed....
December 30th, 2008 at 2:24 pm
Some info for Jason:
Occidental College actually has a good D3 football program. They won their conference this past season (SCIAC) and were eliminated in the first round at Willamette. There was some controversy in that pairing because those two teams were the #1 and #2 seeds in the 8-team region and were forced to play because of "geographical considerations"
Linfield will be travelling to SoCal next season to play Oxy on the same day as the UH-UNLV game. That should be a good game with possible post-season implications for both teams (if things go right).
#1 son's former coach at E. Oregon is now the OC at Oxy and if he has been allowed to run his offense, they are probably very challenging to defend. Similar to a BS-You type of approach with multiple groupings and sets and a thick playbook.
Of course, if Jason's "friend" is not into football, all of that is for nada!
But aside from that, I'm told the school has very good academics. Not sure what the emphasis is as far as area of study...
December 30th, 2008 at 2:25 pm
chawan - never mind the hurricane. Just think what a handful of terrorist can do to Oahu's power grid.
December 30th, 2008 at 2:25 pm
...and while I was key-ing all that, Reno ties the game.
December 30th, 2008 at 2:25 pm
tie ball game 28 all, nevada is moving the ball once again
December 30th, 2008 at 2:25 pm
Actually, not to drive anyone away from this site but you guys should read the Mid Life Crisis blog about fireworks....although I don't fall anywhere near that age group, a lot of the stuff talked about in that piece I remember doing as a kid......good times...
December 30th, 2008 at 2:25 pm
james played on a jungle jim???
what park was this? and maybe this explains a few things... heh.
December 30th, 2008 at 2:26 pm
Oh yeah...and safe travels to the A-Houses and djmitcho.....
600????
December 30th, 2008 at 2:26 pm
ICS peeps love the touch and feel of keyboards.... every stoke, iteration, buffer, embedded link, and neural obfuscator....
December 30th, 2008 at 2:26 pm
Stretch,
Is that "aerial view" of the game from Boise similar to the view you had from the box?
December 30th, 2008 at 2:27 pm
cc...lol...we actually had one at our playground at school.....we used to swing on those things like monkeys...and fell all the time with torn pants (which I got spankings for) and skinned knees....
December 30th, 2008 at 2:28 pm
"Fireworks tax" doesn't apply to illegal aerials and such....
December 30th, 2008 at 2:28 pm
(J)J - I played on a jungle gym. Is Jungle Jim another koa-mahu alias?
December 30th, 2008 at 2:30 pm
chawan - did you buy any permits this year?
December 30th, 2008 at 2:32 pm
(J)J,
ditto that re: the A-house Ohana and djmitcho.
Terps (could you ever really get used to being called that?) score to go back up...
December 30th, 2008 at 2:33 pm
Hmmmm.... doesn't J(J) still work (play?) on a "Jungle-Jim" sort of analogous work place, dealing with monkeys, skinning knees and getting spanked?
December 30th, 2008 at 2:33 pm
Just realized that J A S O N is also July, August, September, October, and November.
December 30th, 2008 at 2:34 pm
Re fireworks, that permit thing is such a rip-off. We chinese people love to pop fireworks and now NYs just isn't the same.
December 30th, 2008 at 2:35 pm
what you think?? I have a tv in my office here with the football game on?? But the aerial view is about right.
December 30th, 2008 at 2:36 pm
Use to make tank, airplane, car, ship, models throughout the year just to blow them up for New Years.
December 30th, 2008 at 2:36 pm
Stretch markets from an office?
December 30th, 2008 at 2:38 pm
Oh oh.... that's another thing I have in common with homey ℞....Yikes!
December 30th, 2008 at 2:39 pm
steveM,
Bulla and Da Bombers, (Lyn, Deanne, Pam) will be there at KK
Other bombers will be fropping in, but I'll take responsiblity for these
December 30th, 2008 at 2:40 pm
brew - you sing Dancing Queen too?
December 30th, 2008 at 2:41 pm
Bulla - For the sake of car interiors (and exteriors) I think I should retire from the bombers...
December 30th, 2008 at 2:42 pm
I should be able to attend the KK.....
LOL...Sorry, thinking about the funny car driver "Jungle" Jim....but we had a "Jungle" Jim Vasconcellos at school who could swing around a jungle gym like a gibbon....it was crazy....LMAO
December 30th, 2008 at 2:42 pm
I enjoy a wide variety of music and entertainment. That's why I enjoy the Warrior Beat soooooo much!
December 30th, 2008 at 2:44 pm
Noooooo....not yet! Please don't retire yet homey ℞! Don't you have a pick-up truck that can (and is often) hosed off?
December 30th, 2008 at 2:44 pm
homey...yeah...I remember doing that too...and taking those green army men and blowing them up...and blowing up mangos...but that was messy...and remember those banana seats on bikes with the high backed sissy bar...I remember tying a long string of firecrackers to the back of the bike and riding down the street while they were going off....LOL
Nalani....yep, us Chinese guys are getting ripped off....
December 30th, 2008 at 2:45 pm
Stretch,
C'mon.
December 30th, 2008 at 2:46 pm
nalani,
amen! maybe i will stop by your house! nah, i'll leave you folks alone.
brew, of course not.
December 30th, 2008 at 2:47 pm
(Jesse) James on a banana seat bicycle, with the wind in his hair.....
December 30th, 2008 at 2:47 pm
Oooohhhhh..... J(J) too! Tossing cracker-bombs at each others feet to see who moves first.....
December 30th, 2008 at 2:49 pm
Gee...it seems the Roady's Truck Stop website is overwhelmed....
anyone want to go look for one in Vegas next September?
December 30th, 2008 at 2:49 pm
(J)J - then we would get the charcoal lighter and start burning the army men and throwing a pack of firecrackers on them to put them out. Melted plastic flying on your skin isn't too good of a feeling.
BTW, I think I look more chinese that you do!
As jm#### would say, "all 12.5% of me!"
December 30th, 2008 at 2:51 pm
jojo - gotta tell jeje to request off for Feb 7th.
December 30th, 2008 at 2:52 pm
CC - Sorry, me no understand intended insult in #165....
December 30th, 2008 at 2:52 pm
that = than
December 30th, 2008 at 2:54 pm
Well, that about seals the deal...if the Bombers are flyin', we're singin'!
December 30th, 2008 at 2:55 pm
What is the statistical likelihood of Al Davis rehiring Mike Shanahan as HC for the Raiders? Would it be greater or less that the statistical likelihood for Shanahan accepting such an offer?
December 30th, 2008 at 2:56 pm
what a day!
first, the master waits it out to post. er, getting to 600 was a stated goal and needed to be attained.
second, how many can pursue a dream of 25 years only to walk away from it when you are this close []. what a man that great dane.
December 30th, 2008 at 2:57 pm
Did bulla mean "dropping" or (post-tasting) "flopping" for his Bombers?
December 30th, 2008 at 2:59 pm
I was ready to give up elementary school after 25 years of trying. Actually, they asked my parents to keep me home and to "give it up"!
December 30th, 2008 at 3:01 pm
Wow - Shanahan back to coach the Raiders. Now that would be a great NYs present for Shelton. (BTW, the Raiders beating J Gruden and the Bucs on Shelton's BDay. That was a bonus!)
December 30th, 2008 at 3:03 pm
fireworks....
ah yes, i have relived the moment when the checkerbombs exploded in my hand as i too held on a bit too long. in fact, i can still hear the ringing in my ear, relive the pain and numbness all at once. oh did i want to cry, but, the machismo factor keep it supressed as my peers stood and watched.
i tell the boys, eh, this paperless fireworks "no mo balls" you guys get kiddy fireworks. you guys don't know what is fireworks. of course many a story has much exaggeration as the machismo starts extruding from the lips.
December 30th, 2008 at 3:03 pm
My delayed posting wasn't intentional.
I overslept.
I got to the office, called Uperesa, then posted.
In case anyone wondered, I don't salt away topics. I try to do same-day stuff, which is why I post late and bug people early.
December 30th, 2008 at 3:04 pm
Nalani - How about a song celebrating the simple treasures of Maui? The camaraderie of youth sports and/or Picnics (tailgates) in Hawaii-nei?
December 30th, 2008 at 3:06 pm
homey...yeah...I know...people say I look portuguese...but I'm 50% chinese....
December 30th, 2008 at 3:08 pm
Homey,
you would have to put the retirement issue up for a vote....these are the Yeager or jaegger bombers, not the CR bombers, there's a difference.
isn't that why parents carry 'wet ones' in their cars? we'll get a bib for you, no worries beef curries.
it will be fun.....
December 30th, 2008 at 3:08 pm
Got it homey!
nighty-night
December 30th, 2008 at 3:09 pm
ST - No need to explain. I think most Tsaikos are pretty laid-back and/or naive and we believe anything you say! Heck - all of this is a bonus for us....
December 30th, 2008 at 3:09 pm
al...yeah, when I read that story about going in the house to "take a break from popping firecrackers" after some duck (camel, peacock, thunderbomb) blew up in your hand from holding on too long brought back memories....I did the same thing....LOL
December 30th, 2008 at 3:12 pm
Hi jojo!!! Take care!
December 30th, 2008 at 3:12 pm
re: fireworks
they are suuuper fun. though when i was a young i didnt like loud noises. now, i still dont like loud noises but for some reason this thing in the bottle that i tend to drink dulls the sounds.....(o_0).
soooo, who has aerials?!?!
December 30th, 2008 at 3:13 pm
ha, ha, ha,.........
no, no, no, no......i am just picking up the tidbits that has been scattered throughout the blog by the master. it is not privileged stuff. however, if i do get privileged stuff i do know that i need to keep my trap shut.
December 30th, 2008 at 3:14 pm
There is a basketball game that evening against Idaho, but I'm sure will be stopping by on the way home.
December 30th, 2008 at 3:14 pm
beef curry.... beef curry.... beef curry..... Wow - I heard that phrase before.... but when and from whom?
December 30th, 2008 at 3:15 pm
I mean... "no worry, beef curry..."
December 30th, 2008 at 3:15 pm
(J)J - the 50% must be below the piko.
Bulla - okay, no mojitos either!
jojo - rest up.
December 30th, 2008 at 3:19 pm
brew - perhaps it was from a pacific islander asian woman???
December 30th, 2008 at 3:19 pm
myki - no lie, you just no like drink jaeger's!!!!!!
December 30th, 2008 at 3:22 pm
I agree with (Jesse) James and Nalani...
Fireworks is tradition in the islands. But all deez kine permit and stuffs making New Years moa shitty nowadays! For those of you who no like the fireworks laddat...ahhh bah humbug to you! Ainokea, you only live once, and only once a year is New Years, so why not go blast and have fun. I agree too about everybody nowadays is too paranoid about stuffs. Back in the day never have no worries...if get fire, get water...if get burn, get ice/band aid...if you dumb enough for hold the firecracker, well then you just dumb!
December 30th, 2008 at 3:22 pm
Oh yeah.... I remember that episode (or two).... Asia vs. Pacific Islander.... Aiyaahhhhh!!!! Need more beeru to suppress memory....
December 30th, 2008 at 3:24 pm

Wait - myki is a bomber too!?! My mental image has just been blown up by a cracker-bomb....
December 30th, 2008 at 3:28 pm
homey ℞,
haha, nah I mento too cause same as holding rockets in your hand instead of using pipe to light em. Or having Roman Candle Wars wea you stand on opposite side and go fo broke see who get nuff sack for be last man standing. Maybe Coach Rolo can use dat as one drill for Greg Alexander...get about 5 Roman Candles light em and then point em at him from different angles, see if he can avoid getting hit!
December 30th, 2008 at 3:29 pm
....to no avail.
The Big Bucks Booster Bowl....Phil vs T. Boone...
December 30th, 2008 at 3:31 pm
myki has been trying to get an honorable discharge from the bombers but it looks like she is a bomber for life.
December 30th, 2008 at 3:32 pm
Eh speakin of fireworks, no moa any cops lurking ah?
December 30th, 2008 at 3:32 pm
Nalani:
December 30th, 2008 at 2:15 pm

December 30th, 2008 at 3:33 pm
PB - Not going work. GA only going get burn marks all over him.
December 30th, 2008 at 3:33 pm
Hmmm... the Jaeger Bombers haven't flown since the August Karaoke Call. There are only 8 bombers...but the squadron might grow om Feb 9...

Congratulations to Dane Uperesa in choosing to continue his education & to be with his fiance!
I liked "looking out upon the city lights" & fireworks from the Heights over Honolulu when I was a little kid. I don't like being in the midst of the smoke, though.
Nalani,
Ho'omaikai on 25 years!
December 30th, 2008 at 3:35 pm
homey.....there's no crying in fireworks.
but, i think that hand is becoming arthrytic. something you and j/j can look forward to in a few years. (yah, das right. i am not that old.)
so i guess we could form the three stooges now.
j/j is a natural for larry.
so that leaves you a choice of shemp or curly joe?
nyuk, nyuk, nyuk.
December 30th, 2008 at 3:36 pm
once a bomber...always a bomber. the discharge ceremony is far too painful, something about suppository supplements etc., but that all 'depends' i guess.......haha, going to the dark side again....slap slap on the proverbial wrist.....
December 30th, 2008 at 3:36 pm
nalani.....i had an old shoe box of songs that i wrote when i was ever so heartbroken. however, one day i sold em to mackey feary and malani....and the rest is history.
December 30th, 2008 at 3:38 pm
SteveM,
If we aren't partying with my Mom for her birthday, I'm in for the K-Kall. I think my other tsinging sister will be here the week before, so the 7th might be open.
December 30th, 2008 at 3:39 pm
28 of 34 Bowl Games = 82%
87 of 120 Football Team Names = 73%
Frikk never have enough time for type moa, had to think dayumit! Oh well what da heo is Magicjack bowl???
December 30th, 2008 at 3:40 pm
al - I guess it would have to be shemp 'cause curly joe did show signs of a limp wrist.
SteveM - um, why am I the only male bomber?
December 30th, 2008 at 3:41 pm
nalani....last time i bug you for the day. serious kine.
whoa, its been 25 years since you girls got together.
so many memories have gone by.
so many good times.
so many struggles.
so many years have gone by.
yah, a quarter of a century gone by and yet through all the stuff, good, bad, and sad.
you girls are still together.
cuz, we are friends.
and friends are friends forever..........
this is on the house.
December 30th, 2008 at 3:43 pm
Wow!
U of O answers!
That's some fireworks!
December 30th, 2008 at 3:45 pm
Does UH BBall play tonight or no? If so anybody know what time they play?
December 30th, 2008 at 3:48 pm
k-call
since it is a few days after the nli or loi day. we should officially invite coach mack to this event. cuz, he will be singing of the praises of joy with his first real recruiting class.
December 30th, 2008 at 3:49 pm
PB - Jason would know but I think he is already getting ready for his casual date.
December 30th, 2008 at 3:50 pm
al - may as well invite the AD and his kinda shy better half.
December 30th, 2008 at 3:50 pm
Is there any "D" in Oregon or Oklahoma (St.)?
December 30th, 2008 at 3:51 pm
Time to finalize cooking the PBS for tomorrow's festivities!
HAPPY NEW YEAR everybody!
December 30th, 2008 at 3:52 pm

Happy New Year homey ℞!!! Play and be safe!
December 30th, 2008 at 3:58 pm
Hey ST are Kevin Williams & Zach Mausch still coming or do they have to wait until May?
December 30th, 2008 at 3:59 pm
Ahhh... the culture of fireworks. We luved setting them off. Bottle rockets were for holding them inthe hand and aiming it at your buddy and lighting the fuse then..whooosh of it went chasing the poor guy! Was funny as heck but strangely no one got hurt. We used to fire the larger ones using a section of totang roofing. Line up abotu 5 of them and set em off all at once. Cracker ball was ammo for the sling shot. If you got nailed by your buddy it was cool .You got them back sooner or later. Midnight was the original midnight maddness. Stuff going off all around the camp. Everyone was out of the house and setting off strings of firecrackers and shooting rockets. The camp had homes with mostly totang roof so no mo fires. We had the occasional firecracker "bust in the finger" thing but no one lost digits.
Still would like to set of fthe stuff but don't want to pay the "tax" and now I have to baby sit my doggie. She get the shakes all day and night. In fact it's already started this week. Whenever I get home now, she is under the house with her tail between her legs. Got to get her drunk this year..
December 30th, 2008 at 4:00 pm
brew,
I appreciate you waiting :29 to tell me that...
December 30th, 2008 at 4:02 pm
PB: UH BB plays 5 PM game on PPV
December 30th, 2008 at 4:05 pm

December 30th, 2008 at 4:06 pm
Williams and Zack are coming this summer.
Because of APR restrictions, UH can only offer five scholarships for January.
By the way, the Vegas and Poly guys are supposed to be set.
And no worries on Nobriga. He's a lock, I'm told.
December 30th, 2008 at 4:06 pm
d1島 - You're welcome. I didn't want to forget about it and have it linger into the new year.....
BTW - did we ever finish our discussion of Shari's vs. Elmer's?
December 30th, 2008 at 4:07 pm
okay....homey. that would work. we may as well call the new asst coach too. that way ahouse will also be appeased.
December 30th, 2008 at 4:09 pm
brew,
Table it....(so to speak) We going Roady's!
December 30th, 2008 at 4:09 pm
Nalani,
Continued best wishes.
For a 25th anniversary song these are my wishes. I like to hear a song that touches my heart and at the same time tells a story. And is bilingual, some Hawaiiana and English.I think for your milestone song done similarly like Que Sera Sera would be one that I would welcome and see. There's a real famous American-Spanish singer also that I can't remember (help) his name that sings these lovely ballads in English and Spanish that I wish some group from Hawaii would do similarly in Hawaiian and English. Just a thought.
December 30th, 2008 at 4:09 pm
Can we count on LaCount? Which group of scholarships does he count against? Will he be able to participate in Spring Drills? We're counting on him!
December 30th, 2008 at 4:10 pm
Mei Ling -- tell you what, you bring mom and I'll invite Pam and Russ as my guests...
December 30th, 2008 at 4:10 pm
who wants to bet that robert marve either called june jones or smu called robert?
he may also call hawaii.
he would have 2 for 2 after sitting out a second year as required for all transfers. but, could petition for a sixth year due to medical hardship his first year after sitting from a car crash.
doesn't his mother still live in hawaii.
just throwing it out there.
is he the qb that may become available????
December 30th, 2008 at 4:13 pm
Roady's are truck stops. Do they serve fuud?
December 30th, 2008 at 4:14 pm
..."blue plate special"....
December 30th, 2008 at 4:14 pm
...actually,
right now the topic if discussion (on the phone, anyway) in the d1島house is finding kagami and ko mochi. Foodland nevah get their delivery yet...Mrs. d1島 is at Don Quijote trying to determine the time of delivery of their mochi...it's getting tense...DQ's is the 4th store she had to go fo' find abura-age....
Meanwhile, I asking her if she like Holiday Bowl updates....incredibly, (IMHO) she not interested
brew,
how you say? Que sera sera....
December 30th, 2008 at 4:15 pm
auwrite thanks ST must be a gift and a curse to be on the inside and be in the know yet have to keep quiet I applaud you for that cause it's not something alot of people can do I know I couldn't I'd be to excited. Oh yeah what about the safety from Poly Stan McKAy any shot at landing him. As for fireworks I agree about them being apart of local tradition cause mainland new years eve is alot different just champange poppers boring. I remeber holding single duck or horse fire crackers and trying to time when to throw'em man your fingers get numb when you don't let go in time.

December 30th, 2008 at 4:17 pm
I know you guys support this "second" chance philosophy.... but I would like to see the young players be given a chance to earn some PT and maybe become 4 year contributors. How about some 4yr Steele over a 2yr Marve? IMHO
December 30th, 2008 at 4:18 pm
SteveM,
If my Mom isn't playing mah jong that night, I'll see if I can get her to come. My Other sister who sings is Sharon, who JD knows. She's home to visit, but I think she leaves before the 7th. Now I have to figgah out what kine fuud to bring...
December 30th, 2008 at 4:18 pm
I dunno, homey, I always thought it was because the gals all liked you...
December 30th, 2008 at 4:19 pm
(J)J,
almos'...keep tryin'...LMAO!
December 30th, 2008 at 4:19 pm
d1..we just got done making 850 lbs of kasane and ko mochi at our church. Next year you put in and order with me and no need worry about finding mochi this late.
December 30th, 2008 at 4:20 pm
300???
December 30th, 2008 at 4:20 pm
LMAO
December 30th, 2008 at 4:22 pm
My football team(s) are either out of the playoffs or their bowl game is over. So I'm going to have to side with the Mrs. regarding fuud..... Maybe al has some extra mochi to share?
December 30th, 2008 at 4:23 pm
(J)J,
I never would have believed you would "settle" for half
heheheh
December 30th, 2008 at 4:26 pm
I usually don't but have to go to a meeting soon and don't know when I'll be back on....LOL
December 30th, 2008 at 4:28 pm
brew,
I pitched in to help...I pushed the beer back in the fridge to make room for the stuff she is buying
December 30th, 2008 at 4:30 pm
NSF,
Thanks...Not sure I going remember, but if you come to the TsaikoGates next year....
December 30th, 2008 at 4:31 pm
What's the local equivalent of Que Sera Sera, or a similar sentiment that would convey a local feeling?.....(and I don't think pidgin would work for us.)
December 30th, 2008 at 4:31 pm
I'll put out a "mochi order" call next year..LOL!
December 30th, 2008 at 4:32 pm
Nalani..local equivalent...is...WHATEVAS!....
December 30th, 2008 at 4:34 pm
Excuse me...WHAT EVERS...
December 30th, 2008 at 4:34 pm
Nalani,
Although not as "light" in tone, in Japanese, "shikata ga nai" might work.
December 30th, 2008 at 4:36 pm
"thick ankles" and all, Masoli can dish it as well as take it...
December 30th, 2008 at 4:36 pm
NSF,
Sounds good!
December 30th, 2008 at 4:39 pm
I know they're going after at least one more safety, but I never heard McKay mentioned.
December 30th, 2008 at 4:39 pm
...no hu hu....(That's what my grandma use to say....)
Re: beer - d1島 pushing back beer in the fridge is one way. Downing a few is another....
December 30th, 2008 at 4:40 pm
Masoli is really a sore point with UH.
UH was going to bring him in for this season. But he said he was going back to CCSF.
Because CCSF coach George Rush is a friend of UH's, the Warriors opted not to go after him.
Then Masoli signs with Oregon.
December 30th, 2008 at 4:41 pm
Out of here for now. Got to go foraging for the New Years feast...Why I do this last minute I don't know..
At least when I get home my doggie looks at me and smells my shopping bag and looks at me like I'm the bestest hunter in the land...
O&O.lattas..
December 30th, 2008 at 4:41 pm
Anyone else notice this blog is a lot more popular in the offseason than during the season?
December 30th, 2008 at 4:42 pm
Nalani
I guess that eliminates: if can, can; if no can, no can.
December 30th, 2008 at 4:43 pm
Masoli...Oregon...CCSF...Rush.... what/where was Rolo's input/connection?
December 30th, 2008 at 4:44 pm
Masoli is Samoan right? I wish they'd stop saying it like he's Italian.
December 30th, 2008 at 4:46 pm
Que Sera Sera...what about A Hui Hou or Hana Hou? Maybe Hana Hou another 25 years?
December 30th, 2008 at 4:47 pm
...if you count 1-2-08 thru 1-15-08 as "off-season"... but that wouldn't be fair!
December 30th, 2008 at 4:49 pm
The Firecrackers Song? Tradition, red paper, good fortune, family, chasing evil spirits, children of all ages playing, rockets, sparklers, fountains, New Years, family fuuds/feast, ....

December 30th, 2008 at 4:56 pm
What is the statistical probability that Jason took his iTouch and sends blog comments/questions tonight?
December 30th, 2008 at 5:05 pm
Wow! Where are the statisticians? On yesterday's blog, we hit 278 posts at 5:00 pm HST. And today, we were at 278 posts at 5:00 pm HST. Of course, we got a later start today (11:20 am vs. 9:45 am yesterday), but still that's quite a coincidence. What are the chances of hitting 600 posts on this blog? Oh, I suppose much depends if ST oversleeps again tomorrow morning....
December 30th, 2008 at 5:06 pm
ST what about Malcolm Lane's friend are they still going after him the one who checked out the practice between road games in El Paso.
Nalani,
You guys should make a song about how lucky we are to live in Hawaii and about the power of the Aloha Spirit and how there's no comparison.
December 30th, 2008 at 5:06 pm
as the song goes....
"que sera, sera
whatever will be, will be...."
December 30th, 2008 at 5:09 pm
reading between the lines.....
does that mean that the five mid-year jc'ers count towards last year's class. thus, a part of the reason we have offered over thirty scholies???
i realize some of this year's class will also grayshirt. probably, hs olineman i would suspect.
December 30th, 2008 at 5:14 pm
yup, masoli is a player.
can you imagine that two years ago st. louis school had both jeremiah masoli and cameron higgins.
masoli came in late and never really got going. another one of those should've, could've, would've.
December 30th, 2008 at 5:18 pm
yup we could really use another safety. that hawaii bowl was very indicative of our lack of speed in the backfield and how to exploit it.
well we have candidates for db's
cb: pierre-davis(who looks like a safety to me), bryant, k.williams, davis, hopkins
safety: pierre-davis (i ain't giving up on this one), smith, lolotai, brown, and, and, yup, we need at least one more to compete here.
December 30th, 2008 at 5:19 pm
d1 need help I
am available
good day again and howzit gangie. wow lots of stuff going down,
shanahan is canned, jason has a bus date, nalani and gang makes 25 yrs in the biz, stretch jumps on the KC mucho pronto setting up the first tsai-ko event for 09 whooootahhhhhhhhh looking like annodah supa year coming up.
December 30th, 2008 at 5:26 pm
Did somebody already mention this....I just opened a letter from Na Koa, and they say 2009 is UH Football's100th Anniversary. Chee Hoo. Sounds like we gotta start planning a real party!!
December 30th, 2008 at 5:27 pm
MO DA KINE IN 2009!!!!
December 30th, 2008 at 5:30 pm
Nalani,
I think the fans are in for a treat next season... Coach Mack DID say that Under Armour is releasing an all green jersey for UH to wear in 2009. At first I wondered why wait one more year (when the deal with UA started this past season), but now I know why...
December 30th, 2008 at 5:30 pm
I think Stephen Tsai has a crush on Nalani. Used to play hoops with one of her brothers, and seen Nalani once when she was pre-famous. Talented and nice people too.
Okay, fireworks. Lived in San Fran during my second grade, fireworks legal, but they use 'em for July 4. Had a thing called a Cherry Bomb. The fuse was the stem from the cherry branch. It was a very short fuse.
If you put the Cherry Bomb on the ground, it would make an automatic marble hole, leave that much devastation.
Lit one up and ka-boom, the Cherry Bomb goes off in my hand. Turned my hand red as a cherry, hurt like heck, but didn't lose any fingers. Obviously, ever since then, I am pro-digits, and anti-fireworks.
The worst is living in high rises in town, the guys light the singular bombs, they go up to just about our apartment level, then ka-boom, scare the heck out of everyone.
I'm looking for the world's best long-range 50-caliber BB gun so I can return fire tomorrow night. This aerial attack just ain't right. Remember the rocket that hit the lady's house and she died in the fire a few years ago?
They still didn't do nothing about nothing.
Sorry for the rant. Just be safe. Happy Holidays to all the Tsaikos.
December 30th, 2008 at 5:48 pm
g1 Kazz
my take on the bang bang on ny's eve. played plenty wen was small kid, played moa wen got older cause was tradition and parents no can light dem cause to slow, let my kids play cause they enjoyed the lights and noise (had plenty illegal stuff back den). now days just sit back, enjoy with friends and fam. so no biggie only regret is the permits. damn cost more kala to buy it den the fireworks. how you figga
December 30th, 2008 at 5:49 pm
Not sure if I will have time tomorrow so I just wanted to get this out.
Many people like to take this time to take a look at the year of 2008 and analyze things they've seen and experienced. As Warrior fans we've seen a lot transpire in 12 months. From the heights of glory to end 2007 to the deepest and darkest hours seen in a while at Manoa to start 2008 and then back to a new sense of hope in a few months and the ups and downs that was the 2008 Warrior Football season.
Many questions await UH supporters for the 2009 season. While Coach Nash, Coach Wilton, Coach Bolla (
), and Coach Trapasso have many "treats" in store for us in the meantime, I believe all of our minds are focused on the 2009 season for football.
The Warrior Football program is the "flagship" program of the University of Hawaii, with respect to the other coaches as it peaks the most amount of interest and fan attendance. Hawaii is a "football" state, there is no need for argument on this at all.
If anything 2008 has taught me the value of respect, patience, and humility.
Many of us expected a "so-so" season in comparison to the dream that was 2007, but at the same token, quite a bit of us didn't expect to experience the type of issues we encountered this season in the fashion in which those issues were exposed.
I learned the value of respect. The respect for Coach McMackin really grew on me this season. He was the FIRST UH head football coach I was able to approach on more than one occasion and on those occasions he made me feel comfortable with the sense that he truly understood the value of the fans.
I learned the value of patience in the first five games of the season. Those struggles are a sharp contrast to the ease of victory over the past two years and any true Warrior fan that appreciate the kind of talent we had at Manoa from 05-07 would understand the transition.
Humility is a bitter pill to swallow. I often used this quote earlier this season: "Enjoy humility and prepare for victory 808%". When one is humbled, that person must use that feeling to better themselves for upcoming battles. There were more instances in 2008 to feel humbled than I expected, but that is what happens when one assumes. There is a fine line between assumption and belief and for an up and down season like 2008, that line is easily invisible to a lot of people.
I firmly believed in the boys and the coaches. I firmly beloved in victories at Corvallis and in Boise. I firmly believed in a Hawaii Bowl win to end the season right. I believed in 9-5 in 2008. Were those "beliefs" assumptions? Perhaps. But I still believe in the entity that is the University of Hawaii and the team that is the "Warriors".
2008 also brought along more faces to the Tsaiko gatherings and tailgates. Football is what brings us together, but the friendships made is what will keep everything together for the long haul. On a personal level, I was able to attend my first Tsaiko Anniversary Party this season and this is something I will never forget as I look forward to many more.
With this, I wish everyone on the blog a Happy New Year and I will look forward to a new year filled with more fun, food, and FOOTBALL!!!!
Go Warriors!!!!!
MO BETTAH DA KINE IN '09!!!

December 30th, 2008 at 6:05 pm
Nalani,
You get karaoke machine at your house? If Oahu gets a repeat black-out, there could be a KKall tonight at your place!
....with the only Xmas lights in town blazing!
December 30th, 2008 at 6:05 pm
Tsaiko explanation for thunder is hunger pains --> fuud required!
December 30th, 2008 at 6:06 pm

December 30th, 2008 at 6:14 pm
Another Jason question/comment -
Doesn't Jason always use his headphones to listen to the radio broadcast at live and TV games? I sure hope he doesn't do that while keeping his "friend" company at the BB game tonight!
December 30th, 2008 at 6:15 pm

Re: the term "esme" -
Hasn't that changed? It use to be "showing up for a quick visit, but then having to make a quick exit, and vamoosh!
Now - it can't apply for making any kind of exit, quick or not, if you don't even show-up (except on celebrity TV ads/shows).....

Instead.... whitey decides to make an attempt on the Warrior Beat to be the first giga-post record holder! He forgets that a kilo-post has only collectively achieved three times in the past (according to SteveM), and that a mega-post is still merely a 1000X that! Poor whitey forgot all about yesterday's giga/mega/kilo lesson....

December 30th, 2008 at 6:50 pm
We're only 33.3% of the way there. It took 7.4 hours to achieve. There is a quiet/slow period of roughly 5 hours after midnight. Some depends on when the Lion awakens and posts an new blog. Nope - slim is not a statistical term but SLIM! Only chance is if ST has some recruiting news, or if the kid reports back about hitting for the cycle including the homerun, grandslam and "pitching" the perfect game. Nope - SLIM!

this brew he one smart statistician. i would neva gotten it right, but like this morning, went for 400 before i left, get help from the tsaikos and went puka. me only look at the mountain and going give it the best shot tonight. if no can, that's all right, get another day.
December 30th, 2008 at 6:59 pm
i just saw one intense, well played, well respected game between Oregon and Oklahoma State. I wish people would talk about us like that.
December 30th, 2008 at 6:59 pm
al, those kind not "wholesome". start with a romaine salad dipped in special mayo/ketchup/sesame seed oil sauce with plenty of water. next course is raisin bran with whole milk and supplemented with lots of herbs and vitamins. i neva reach the next course yet. "WHOLESOME".

December 30th, 2008 at 7:20 pm
Evening Tsai-kos!!
Attempts to reach 1k are futile (in the words of the Borg). Took almost 8 hours to reach 350. mebbe we can get to 600 but it'll be a Stretch
Depends on when ST decides to post a new topic.
Go Bows!!!
Just saw a pic of Jon Hee in the MPI Alumni mag. Too bad midori's not here.

hot damn, just as i tell d1 we sent the thunda north, the sucka comes right back. sheeessshh.
December 30th, 2008 at 7:27 pm
jm2375, no think negatively. give it your best shot and if no can, no can. this is how warrior fb should be thinking, get huge mountain to climb, give it your best shot. that is something that they lacked in their last two games. had huge games, but never give it their best shot, did stupid things and got killed going up the mountain. me, i just attack because i don't know any better.

December 30th, 2008 at 7:29 pm
From the American Statistical Assn website:
Top 10 reasons to be a statistician:
10. Deviation is considered normal
9. You feel complete and sufficient
8. You always wanted to learn the entire Greek alphabet anyway
7. You can legally comment on someone's posterior distribution
6. You may not be normal but you are transformable
5. You never have to say you are certain
4. You are honestly significantly different
3. You never have to be right-only close
2. Estimating parameters is easier than dealing with real life
1. Statisticians are normal, everyone else is skewed
December 30th, 2008 at 7:30 pm
also get lesson to learn, cannot do alone, so if other tsaikos no help, am in doomsville. same as warriors, need team to win, not individuals. most important lesson for team.
December 30th, 2008 at 7:33 pm
i can see the first level, 400, and not too far. one step at a time and got to avoid the thunda.
December 30th, 2008 at 7:35 pm

If what ST says come true on LOI day, we will looking at a whole lot of good times for a long time to come.

just found this if you are going from any of these cities to Vegas
Special Offer from Southwest Airlines: How HOT is this deal?
1 2 3 4 5 6
$35-$65 -- Las Vegas Fares Slashed from the West Coast*
Flights to Las Vegas
Top 20 deal - sells out quickly!
Travel dates: Through March
By Aaron Brown
Travelzoo Staff
If we had to pick one place in the world with the most incredible deals right now, it would be Las Vegas. Just this morning Southwest Airlines released a 2-Day sale that knocks 50% OFF every flight to Vegas!
Unlike other air sales we see, this is a broad-based fare cut that slashes ALL flights to Vegas in half, regardless of whether you fly midweek or weekends. We found the best fares from the West Coast going for $35-$65 each way.
Fly to Las Vegas from:
Los Angeles ... $35
Burbank ... $35
Ontario ... $35
San Francisco ... $46
Portland ... $65
Spokane ... $65
Seattle ... $65
Travel is valid on most midweek dates through March, but we're even seeing some great weekend deals. This 2-Day Sale will expire on Dec. 31, so book quickly.
December 30th, 2008 at 7:46 pm
Hey D1..you got something against large turtles? hahaha, Im a Terrapin, born one, raised one and became one. Still my favorite team next to the Warriors. And they pulled it off today.

UCLA DC DeWayne Walker announced as new New Mexico St head coach. Sounds like a positive step for them.
December 30th, 2008 at 7:51 pm
Sarkisian is coaching at the Rose Bowl, collecting salary from two teams - nice. But dont be thinking they are not doing much, Washington is recruiting in full force, making up for some seriously lost time.
By the way, I didnt see it mentioned above, NMSU hired Dwayne Walker from UCLA today as the new HC. Former Washington State player/Coach and NFL QB Timm Rosenbach is his first hire as OC.
December 30th, 2008 at 7:52 pm
whitey, had to give my 1 finger a break after that record.

Re-MWC and UH futile/passive attempt to join while Boise State might
About a week before Christmas I was reading the comments made by the Boise State president on how they would accept a bid to get into the MWC. On their part that is an excellent move. Better rivalries and games, with TCU, Utah and BYU, meaning higher television revenues than they would have made in the WAC. Plus they'd escape the high costs of traveling to Hawaii and Louisiana Tech. For them it would be a perfect opportunity. Boise State boosters on record have said they'd pay handsomely to see this get done.
And then I look at the Hawaii administrators with their lack of vision and foresight of not putting their name in the hat in being considered for the MWC expansion, too, like the Boise State's president. How sad, again. Perhaps maybe their explanation is that their pledged loyalty to the commissioner. But the administrators less not forget this is the same commissioner that back in 1996 after being on the job for 2 years had the hair brained idea of increasing memberships of the WAC from 10 to 16 teams. For which the then departing schools argued by having 16 teams in the league it cut into each team's slice of the pie or revenues. Plus how the league was formed then it didn't allow teams to have their natural rivalries, meaning BYU playing with Utah or Wyoming was on hold at that time. This didn't warm over with the fans, especially the BYU season ticket holders. And mounting pressure from the fans prompted the BYU, Utah programs etc to jump. Again big boosters and people with deep pockets paid to see this get done. And we can credit the commsioner for making the MWC commisioner look like a genius. And more so when he snags the two of the better teams from the WAC.
Taking us to the present. Hawaii should do whats best for Hawaii. The same as I'm sure Boise State is looking out for the best for itself and fans. And I'm sure Fresno is looking out for Fresno.In a perfect setting all the league members could, at one time, entrust in one another that they'll all remain intact as a league. But with Boise State committing their feelings to the public a few weeks ago about leaving the WAC and welcoming a bid into the MWC then Hawaii should have plans too.
The trickle down effect of Boise State and then maybe Fresno State leaving together, would see the remaining members gasping for air. Because the marketability of the WAC would be almost non existent. Everything from television revenues to attendance at games to recruiting would suffer. The rivalries between Hawaii's most formidable opponents, which does attract more people at the stadium and more television viewers, would be replaced with weaker teams that wouldn't draw more fans to the stadium or television viewers. The high school recruits also coming out of Hawaii given a choice to play in the MWC, with a greater regional television exposure and bigger crowds, would surely take the MWC and the league with the greater prestige.
On the horizon as our administrators, JD and Pres. and company, look at the body language of the dialogues between the MWC commissioner and the Boise State president it has to have them holding their breaths, too. Both sides, MWC and Boise State, have openly said they are attracted to each other.
As June 30 of next year looms, the cut off date for the departing teams to be elgible for play in the fall of 2010 in the MWC, I'm hoping Hawaii expends the least ammount of time worrying about things it can't control and figure the best options for the university in the future should Boise State and or Fresno State leaves.
December 30th, 2008 at 8:12 pm
whitey - Mahalo for the info in Post #362. Unfortunately, it doesn't help me. Either the fares are unavailable for my travel dates or I already have lower priced excursions. I think the "midweek" restriction is the show-stopper.
December 30th, 2008 at 8:14 pm
whitey,
Tanks Ah?
No mo' tundah from down undah as yet.
btw, making konbu maki and shoyu pork with squash.
Going market early for fish, roast pork, char siu, vegetables...and pick up sum dim sum on da way back!

he got F22’s!!!
Is this about your son? That's great news maybe he can get stationed back here in the future.
December 30th, 2008 at 8:18 pm
HiFlyer,
Yes, and hes got Hickham #1 on his dream sheet for after training! Im praying for it daily!
December 30th, 2008 at 8:19 pm
Where's Jason?
What was the score???
Oh, btw, congrats to MBB for anothah win.
heheheh
December 30th, 2008 at 8:23 pm
jm2008&18.3%more - Huh? What do you claim I did now? Ha! And besides, only the missing one use to send me to the corner and she no stay! So there! Ha!
December 30th, 2008 at 8:25 pm
"What was the score???" Hehehe.... good one!
December 30th, 2008 at 8:25 pm
Congrats to your son, PIAA DS.
Top shelf stuff, huh?
btw, "Terrapins" is OK. Terps is
haha
December 30th, 2008 at 8:25 pm
PIAA, thanks for taking care of a lot of hs athletes and great to hear about your son. maybe he might run across my nephew one day. he loads warthogs with their armour and is in osan, korea right now.
December 30th, 2008 at 8:28 pm
warthogs and F-22's no mix!
December 30th, 2008 at 8:28 pm
When I saw the Tsaiko-Gate photo of 808ike, I thought it was was d1島 at first glance. Any relationship?
December 30th, 2008 at 8:30 pm
roysan, i understand what you are saying, but why worry about joining the MWC. they may have beat us in fb this year, but so far the WAC outclasses them in total sports. if BSU wants to leave, let them leave. Same as the nfl, they like go, go. BSU was nothing till the WAC invited them and now they think they can call the shots, kiss my arse. Same for the nfl pro bowl, they were nothing till they came to Hawaii. They think that Hawaii would let them come and go as they please. Kiss my arse!!!
December 30th, 2008 at 8:30 pm
SteveM,
Of course! We are both Tsaikos!
heheheh
December 30th, 2008 at 8:32 pm
Whitey, my son had the warthogs as his #3 choice after F16s, he loves that ugly old plane! He asks for goodies all the time for the guys who work on the jets, figures if hes good to them they'll be good to him!
D1 - yeah, Terps is kinda goofy! but gotta live with it if your from Maryland!
December 30th, 2008 at 8:32 pm
d1島 -- OK, but can he sing?
December 30th, 2008 at 8:32 pm
brew, the new warthogs get the same weapon system as the 22's.
December 30th, 2008 at 8:33 pm
...and they both use one finger... one to type... one to communicate in other ways.... Hey - I think he's giving me the one-finger salute right now!
December 30th, 2008 at 8:35 pm
the new hogs are awesome and if you like do some damage up close, you like be the pilot. mean is not the word for the hog, it damn right hell in your face for those on the ground.
December 30th, 2008 at 8:36 pm
Huh? The 20mm cannon or the AIM?
December 30th, 2008 at 8:38 pm
hoooo hooo hoooo 401. brew, get chance. one more thing about the hog, when flying low and attack mode, bullets hitting the ground are only 6" apart and only homey can escape cause he some fast.
December 30th, 2008 at 8:39 pm
So do they still use DU rounds? I hope your nephew is NOT exposed that material. Very nasty health hazard. Same for PIAA DS's son.
December 30th, 2008 at 8:40 pm
well Im not familiar with all this military stuff, all I know is he'll be 20k feet up in the air, not way closer to the ground like the warthog. The further away from the action the happier mom is.
December 30th, 2008 at 8:41 pm
ROYSAN 16 #382,
Have the same thoughts! One problem----When the schools were
forming the MWC, they intentionally left out UH because of distance.
No matter what UH tries to do, distance will always be the
determining factor. no one likes us.
December 30th, 2008 at 8:42 pm
Good job whitey and others. We're 10 hours and 40 minutes ahead of yesterday. So where's our resident statistician now?
December 30th, 2008 at 8:43 pm
ok back to fb. too bad about Nevada. they played an excellent 2nd half and almost pulled it out. WAC is 1 - 4 in bowls, but that is ok because we getting more teams into the bowls each year and they getting good exposure nationally. no worry about recruits, but this is excellent for those who did not consider the WAC before, but now know it is a "fun " conference where you can play good fb and get a good education.
December 30th, 2008 at 8:43 pm
Is there an alternative to DU?
December 30th, 2008 at 8:46 pm
on to 500!
gotta go chop chop little while...

December 30th, 2008 at 8:48 pm
To be honest, don't give a rat's a$$ about the MWC. TRAITORS.
December 30th, 2008 at 8:49 pm
Another favorite movie of mine is "Kelly's Heroes". Remember Oddball (Donald Sutherland)? He would often tell his negative Tank Driver Moriarty (Gavin MacLeod) to "stop with them negative waves", "Woof, woof, woof". Love it!
Thus, to our statistician... "stop with them negative waves"....

time to recap about the Sheraton Hawaii Bowl payout. i understand that the payout is $750000. with such great showing at the game (thank you tsaikos for letting me join you) and on tv, don't you think they should raise the ante to at least $1.3 million??? by raising the ante, we going get other conferences attention and they going want to come here instead of going to another bowl in the future. if hawaii bowl keeps up and eventually raises the ante to $2 million, you are moving into the big time zone. the hawaii bowl grossed over $2 million in ticket and concession revenues and espn probably grossed 3-5 times that amount. so what is $1.3 million?????
December 30th, 2008 at 8:53 pm
woof, woof, woof. now we get the team moving and excited. you right d1, the next level is getting shorter. yeeeaaaaahhhhhh
December 30th, 2008 at 8:54 pm
brew - you mean da capt on Love Boat?
d1 - isn't it da Twerps?
I get pass on this one. Hubby is UMd alum.
December 30th, 2008 at 8:56 pm
brew and piaa, could have used the cannons from the hogs or 22s in november while in south dakota hunting pheasants. them buggahs were getting out of the field about 200 yds ahead of us, so they all escape. next time i going make like homey and stay low so they no can see me.
December 30th, 2008 at 8:56 pm
OK 2
December 30th, 2008 at 8:59 pm
Whitey I totally agree. The wac is making a name for themselves. In the next couple of years the Wac should be a pretty good and competitive conference. With the hiring of DeWayne Walker at NMSU and Gary Anderson at USU. They should be able to put a winning attitude in these two programs making the WAC that much better.
I think if Boise was to leave the WAC that would be a big mistake in terms of status that they have now. Just look at the Bowl and how they got dominated. They will not last in the MWC. They will get beat down and will become the doormates of the MWC but like Whitey said, if they like go, go.
December 30th, 2008 at 9:01 pm
d1, bum by, can you email me your recipe for shoyu pork with squash. that buggah sounds onolicious.
December 30th, 2008 at 9:03 pm
20mm round hits a pheasant and you have same mount of bird left as if you missed completely!
Nice find on the SHB finances whitey!
December 30th, 2008 at 9:04 pm
OK, 3 CHEERS FOR THE WAC and an up your giggy to BSU.
December 30th, 2008 at 9:05 pm
SteveM
You can count me in for the K-call.
December 30th, 2008 at 9:07 pm
but i get the satisfaction of knowing that the buggah neva make "a" out of me. was freezing, grass tall, but with friends, PRICELESS!!!!
December 30th, 2008 at 9:07 pm
brew
the Warthog has a 30mm cannon and your right about the DU nasty stuff.
December 30th, 2008 at 9:08 pm
Whitey----Great idea, but the 800 pound gorilla (ESPN), is conservative
with their money for mid-major schools. BIG BUCKS for BCS schools.
December 30th, 2008 at 9:08 pm
brew, you live in the oakland area?
December 30th, 2008 at 9:09 pm
One more thing
No sense Boise leave because they goin start getting beat down by Hawaii the next couple of years, starting with next year.
December 30th, 2008 at 9:11 pm
808ike, you impressing me cause you posting longer post. keep it up. you doing good job.
December 30th, 2008 at 9:11 pm
d1島 - Re: your #408 question -
DU is used because of it's high density and it's essentially a "waste product" that the military complex wants to get rid of. Of course they ignore the health implications for everyone. IMHO.
The two materials with similar mass densities are gold, and tungsten (actually an alloy of 95% W is readily machinable). Of course, these are much more expensive and rare material to use. Gold bullets - Ha! Okay sorry - probably TMI for everybody....
December 30th, 2008 at 9:13 pm
thanks tsaikos, we going impress SteveM by going for mt everest without air tanks on our back. you all get the right stuff like PB's company advertises.
December 30th, 2008 at 9:14 pm
Union break. Be back later to pitch in again.
December 30th, 2008 at 9:18 pm
HiFlyer - Yes, you're right. It is a 30mm cannon! That means even less pheasant for whitey if he used that weapon, didn't drink a bunch of beeru before hunting, and didn't chase after the birds with the bird-dogs barking away, "Woof, woof, woof". Haha!
December 30th, 2008 at 9:19 pm
hey why you talk about someone who not around anymore?
whitey:
December 30th, 2008 at 9:04 pm
OK, 3 CHEERS FOR THE WAC and an up your giggy to BSU.
December 30th, 2008 at 9:21 pm
whitey - Oh I see, we mention weapon systems and you think of Oakland! Ha! I think you asked that question before and I ignored you. Right?
December 30th, 2008 at 9:21 pm

Re-The integrity of the Alabama coach finding that a sport's agent had made contact with his star player.
First I have to applaud the Alabama coach for having the integrity to report the violation and to bench his star OT, an Outland Trophy winner and a purported possible overall number 2 pick in the upcoming NFL draft. If this had been USC and Pete Carrol I wonder if the USC coach would've looked the other way, like how some say he had to have known about some of the recriminations facing Reggie Bush dealings with a sport's agent. And has been further accused by some of looking the other way. In the 2005 season, reports on the net show that sports agents frequently were seen at USC practices, along the sidelines of games and in the locker room. In the incident involving the Alabama player the Attorney General for the state is looking at filing charges against the sport's agent.
Personally, I think the NCAA Investigating Committees should target the bigger school's star players and the big name teams in the country by doing sting and undercover operations in purifying and preserving the sanctity of college football. I think athletes themselves should face the full punishment of the law for defrauding their colleges. And if proof shows that the school are involved, likewise punishment by NCAA sanctions etc.

2. Dan Kelly
- Preseason favorite for All-WAC kicker, he became an offensive liability.
3. RGM
- Questionable decision to leave early; he gambled and lost. Meanwhile, DB is a likely to make the NFL's All-Rookie team. Life isn't fair.
4. Punt Return team
- Pitiful
5. UH Offense
- OL gets a lot of heat, but the truth is the whole unit never really got the groove. 4 QBs didn't help but the question remains, can anybody else run JJ's run and shoot?

roysan, you may be right about saban, but as far as dolpins and lsu is concerned he is one big snake in the grass. snakes use camoflauge (spp) to hide, so he might be doing this so the ncaa looks at the other schools because he saying that he is an upstanding coach. you can put on all kinds of nice things, but if you one snake, hard to change your markings.

Saban didn't have a choice...the media already had the info on the agent's dealings with the player and the news was going to come out. By suspending the player first, he minimized the damage...but if you read some of the news that has already come out, the info was not a secret.
December 30th, 2008 at 9:47 pm
whitey: Of course not, Stretch hasn't been in that age group for many, many, many, many, many, many, many, ... , many, many years.
December 30th, 2008 at 9:48 pm
garret, i was thinking about the same thing that the earth was slowing down cause i can go faster forward. hahahahahaaaahhh
December 30th, 2008 at 9:48 pm
whitey,
I could keep going with free play links, but those were the most relevant here based on comments that I've read on the blog and via e-mail from people who post here.

ST so being that Hawaii only has five scholarships they can offer in January what happens to B.Stutzmann I thought he was enrolling in January and is Aaron Brown enrolling in May thanks I'll take your answers off the air...LOL... Always wanted to say that.
December 30th, 2008 at 9:49 pm
umm, i wish i was still in that age bracket
Politically correct answer. You are learning...
December 30th, 2008 at 9:50 pm
yahooo, can see mauna kea coming up and we going over it with no problems.

G,
I guess BO's hatred of British colonialism is another similarity with FDR who made the dissolution of the "empire" a precondition to the US getting into WWII.
December 30th, 2008 at 9:52 pm
I'm glad that a few people already posted the news about Walker taking the NMSU job. Walker is an *excellent* coach and deserves a head coaching spot...I thought he could have gotten a better spot than that, but he seems happy to have any head coaching job.
Before this, Walker coached at:
New England Patriots (secondary coach under Pete Carroll)
USC (first year that Carroll coached at USC)
NY Giants
Washington Redskins
UCLA (defensive coordinator)
If you compare his past 5 teams to NMSU, one of them seems quite out of place...
December 30th, 2008 at 9:53 pm
Garret, no mind cause those info is excellent and for those like me (amnesia) it gives us new insights.
December 30th, 2008 at 9:55 pm
Jason, thanks for telling me about stretch's age cause when he on Maui with me, he tell everyone that i am his dad. next time he going tell them that i am his granddad.
December 30th, 2008 at 9:56 pm
NYUH,
The situation will make for some interesting diplomacy in Obama's first year as President. Does the UK issue an apology or express regret for torturing the father of the President of the US for an extended period of time? How does that affect the US-UK dynamic, where the UK has been the strongest backer of Pres. Bush's military initiatives?
I don't think that this situation has ever happened before...it will be a footnote in some history books and I can see a lot of discussion about this if things change between the US and UK. Especially since under their new leadership the UK has already been pulling back from their support of the situations in Iraq and elsewhere.

whitey,
On a serious note, blueberries and vitamins with added flavonoids will be recommended for many people with Alzheimer's and those considered in danger for Alzheimer's. They also will market to the elder groups. They also will market to college students, as anything that can boost memory while being healthy for the body will find a market!
December 30th, 2008 at 10:00 pm
so now the WAC going get some excellent coaches and with that, the WAC will be a force in fb. namasu and usu are willing to spend some bucks to move up and this is very good. now if we can get idaho up, the WAC will be able to get better money for all of them.
December 30th, 2008 at 10:03 pm
Garret, thanks for the info on blueberries and been taking them for quite a while now along with plenty other herbs.
December 30th, 2008 at 10:04 pm
I had no Internet access for over 24 hours, which was hard to take! Thank goodness my new phone can surf the web a little so I could post my congrats to Jason and take care of my link blog.
I saw the note too late (the first one was posted after we had gone to sleep and we left for Vegas the following morning) about calling las vegas for a get-together. That really is too bad, as I was under the assumption that my family was in Vegas at the wrong time and the others weren't free for a cattle call here.
We ate at the Flamingo Buffet today for dinner because we were given a $25 gift certificate as an apology for something my hotel messed up on. 3 slabs of prime rib, 4 main dish plates, two dessert rounds, etc., and I had a nice meal!
December 30th, 2008 at 10:06 pm
time to take a break and will be back later. keep going and it is going to be a fun evening with the Tsaikos cause no way can we do this tomorrow night. this is like the last hurrah for 2008.
December 30th, 2008 at 10:06 pm
whitey,
That is great! If the current trials go well, they might actually prescribe blueberries or blueberry pills to many patients. The news will definitely spread if the current trials show results.

Helping you guys get to 600. I don't know any jokes. Or short answers. Or short responses. And if you ever saw me I don't smile too much. I'm so reminiscent of my late father, for he was never one for much repartee or smiling. And on further thought so much like my mother, too...ha. But I do like to write. And read, especially about stories about Tsaikos and bloggers and their personal stories. When there was a call today to come up with an idea for Nalani's 25th anniversary song I went scurrying around the net to come up with an idea. I turned on Pandora Radio and listed to 6-8 hours of the lyrics of the Beatles, Paul McCartney, Lennon, The Who and The Monkeys to see if I can come with an idea. But none that strikes out at me, although this is where I would start if I aspired to write a great song. Songwriting, something of which I gave no thought to before, suddenly has caught my eye, because as I can see it's really telling a story, perferable coming from the heart, with continuity and a purpose. And something that interests me. With the merriment of the New Year fast approaching, less than 14 hours away, I pray that everyone's orbit and trajectory in life is good. And if 2008 wasn't good here's wishing that 2009 is better.

This one is big, since ESPN controls so many things behind the scenes...Don't forget that ESPN owns a lot of the smaller bowls that would lose a lot of money if there was a playoff.

PIAA DS ~ I'm just in the door after last minute errands.
I'm visualizing a sleek, F-22 swooping over Aloha Stadium just before the National Anthem gets to that part about the "Rocket's red glare!" The announcer acknowledges the Air Force fly-by is non other than the son of PIAA DS! The crowd goes wild as the roar of his afterburners kick in!
Thus the 100th Anny of UH is about to kick off, The '09 football season is ready to rock 'n roll!
Someone famous once said, "If you dream it - you can do it!"
Happy New Year Doris!

ST,
One thing that stood out to me about the miss on UH recruiting of Masoli...I remember it mentioned that UH didn't realize that Masoli could transfer to a D-IA school for the 2008 season. That surprised me (and I commented on that at the time) because Rolo was his position coach and I figured that he would know what Masoli's status was.
It was an especially glaring mistake because UH got Rausch to transfer after playing just one season at his JC...and Rausch's coach expressed surprise that he was eligible to leave after that season. After that happened, I figured that Rolo would have checked into Masoli's status instead of making that same mistake!
If what was stated earlier was incorrect, which you seem to indicate today, then that mistake is less glaring. And having a recruiting coordinator like Tony Tuioti who can check into those types of things will prevent future misses.

Doris,
Congratulations to your son getting F-22s! That is an awesome accomplishment!
I really hope that he is stationed in Hawaii for a good stretch of time...that would be great!
December 30th, 2008 at 10:31 pm
Wow, what a difference between usu fb and bb. their bb team is 11-1. wac bb is going to be very competitive and every game will be important and tough. wish could say the same for woman bb.
December 30th, 2008 at 10:31 pm
i can confirm that jason was there with his friend. i did not see any earphones in his ear either. looks like they had a good time. although as soon as the game was over they were gone. and just by chance i ran into him at kfc afterwards. i hope he got a drink for her too for the long bus ride home.
brew, my mistake earlier, the "of course not" response was actually for homey asking if i bought permits.
December 30th, 2008 at 10:34 pm
Nalani ~ Knowing the musical talents of the Tsaiko Nation, your new CD will contain several very good cuts compliments of these forward thinking people. I'm certain of it.
December 30th, 2008 at 10:34 pm
Re-Practicing harder or smarter?
So much of the comments I read of returning players pledging to practice and train harder for the next football season is that I wonder If someone involved in the program sees that is also equally important to practice and train "smarter". I know the athletes have the tools in front of them to practice and train hard in the off season. But I also hope they have the guidance provided to them that they are also training and practicing "smarter".
December 30th, 2008 at 10:35 pm
roysan, nalani looking for some help in writing some new songs for their special 25th anniversay album. i am sure she would appreciate any ideas you may have.
December 30th, 2008 at 10:36 pm
oh, i just saw that commercial with Ms Esme in it. very nice!
December 30th, 2008 at 10:36 pm
Howzit roysan16 - Nice to see you blogging regularly. Hey - there's no problems with form, or style or anything. You write and contribute whatever you want, and participate in any or all of the discussions. That's the beauty of the blog format. It's strictly voluntary and the content is "moderated" by the host and his/her appointed lieutenants.
I like your story about getting spun-up trying to think of a song and/or theme for Nalani. It's kind of fun and provocative (thought-wise). Actually, you did describe a thread of a story - either a song, or a written log. It's about your parents, how you are like both of them (you are), and yet you're your own special person. You know that. And if you wanted, you could readily expand on that. Just my 2 cents. Keep blogging, and if you can and want to, join in one of the events, tailgates, parties. You can meet some of the real faces/people behind their blog persona. Bet the Tsaikos can get you to smile and laugh like a fool.
December 30th, 2008 at 10:40 pm
I'm back for a short while.

chawan you left before the championship game, i guess you are a homer
December 30th, 2008 at 10:42 pm
jason and his friend had excess to the booster lounge with food, what's he doing at kfc
December 30th, 2008 at 10:44 pm
Garret - Howzit! I know you're having fun. How about the girls? It's unfortunate that you couldn't meet with the other Tsaikos in Vegas. I always enjoy your on- and off-topic posts! I'm going to head off and get me some blueberries ASAP tomorrow before I forget!
December 30th, 2008 at 10:44 pm
Jason--- You CASANOVA!!!!!!
December 30th, 2008 at 10:47 pm
808ike - Someday I'll figure out your connection w/ MizLiz. Did you meet d1島? Do you think you look anything like that character? Really.
December 30th, 2008 at 10:49 pm
tonight is special. we slowly approaching the 12 hr mark from when this blog started and all of you are now over the 500 level. am standing, giving all of you 3 cheers, and bowing to all of you. you are not only fun, but very special. THANKS!!!
December 30th, 2008 at 10:52 pm
SteveM - Unfortunately for me, I will not be able to attend your K-call in February, so deftly arranged by Stretch and yourself. Although I must say that my attendance and participation might have significantly boosted sales of cotton-ball earplugs and hard-liquor sales....
December 30th, 2008 at 10:54 pm
Huh? whitey is still capable of standing? Bring the bruddah another cold brewski!
December 30th, 2008 at 10:55 pm
I don't listen to the radio for basketball cause I don't really care for Bobby's call of the game. And we did eat at the Hospitality Room after the game. But I wanted a drink, so while we were at the bus stop I stopped by KFC, and I ran into chawan_cut. BTW, my friend had a bottled water, which is why I didn't get her a drink; I offered to get her one, but she didn't want one.
December 30th, 2008 at 10:55 pm
access not excess
December 30th, 2008 at 10:57 pm
brew808,
The girls have had a LOT of fun! Circus Circus on Monday was fun for them as usual. They have enjoyed all the food here and have eaten quite well too...not as much meat as me, but they ate other stuff like seafood and fruits more than me. We went all around the Flamingo outdoor grounds today--Faith called it a "nature walk" and they enjoyed the flamingos, koi, and all the gazebos and pools. They absolutely loved the 2 water shows we saw at the Bellagio today.
Normally we hang out with family (my parents, my sister's family) downtown, but this time we've been exploring the Vegas Strip landmarks. Aside from Circus Circus, everything we've done has been new to them and they really enjoyed seeing new things. The M&M World and Coca-Cola Museum today was really fun for them too. Next trip we'll hopefully have Cattle Calls and will also hang out downtown with my parents...this trip we've done so many different things!
December 30th, 2008 at 10:58 pm
Re: bottled water - Was there some sort of "trust" issue there? I know I'd be wary of leaving an unattended drink around some of these peeps.... Oh wait, that would be me!
December 30th, 2008 at 10:59 pm
BTW, thanks to chawan_cut for offering me one of his two sodas when I was waiting in line and I said that my bus was scheduled to stop by any minute. But I wanted to try one of those "Fruit Fizz" drinks.
December 30th, 2008 at 11:01 pm
Garret - Did you visit the botanical gardens off the front desk lobby of the Bellagio? I think L would enjoy that. Maybe the girls too.
December 30th, 2008 at 11:03 pm
brew808--met d1.
If MizLiz is LizK, BG posted cell # on site. Had extra ticket to Wash St.
and Cinn. game so I called him. LizK needed a ticket to the Cinn.
game. Meet her at t-gate to give her the ticket.
December 30th, 2008 at 11:03 pm
ok gang, next level on the horizon. heee hawwww. brew good idea and will have a brewski now. need energy.
December 30th, 2008 at 11:06 pm
Did you ever watch the Drew Carey show? This is the sitcom based in Cleveland. In one episode, they invented Buzz Beer - a combination of beeru and coffee. That was before Energy drinks!
December 30th, 2008 at 11:07 pm
brew808 -- just jump on your private jet and come down for Feb. 9. Sneak in and hide among the Jaeger Bombers...

#464- good news for Jason!
whitey- we gotcha lightning and tunda going on in the mts. above our house...
December 30th, 2008 at 11:08 pm
Yes 808ike. Thanks for the info. I thought maybe you were another Kauai Tsaiko.
December 30th, 2008 at 11:09 pm
was on hilo for the day visiting folks. did Bsmith get fired yet?
December 30th, 2008 at 11:11 pm
Whoah... and here she is!
Good thing nothing bad being discussed - stopped just in time.
Hiya Miz~Liz! Are you sure the thunder and lightning isn't just over your house? Haha!
December 30th, 2008 at 11:11 pm
Clothes in dryer, almost done. Leaving shortly.
December 30th, 2008 at 11:12 pm
roysan, your idea of training harder or smarter is very good. each sport has basic muscle groups which need to be worked on and how they do it is the key. i think bench pressing or power lifting heavy weights is good for fb, but being able to run the stairs from the quarry to the top 10 times within 30 minutes is just as important. for a running back to run the low hurdles would help minimize the hamstring injuries, but may increase the injuries to the groin. hahahaaaaahhhh
December 30th, 2008 at 11:12 pm
SteveM - Haha! I'm not duffer!
December 30th, 2008 at 11:13 pm
Hiya 808Ike!
I don't think you look like d1shima... hmmm... you could be related to chawan_cut tho
December 30th, 2008 at 11:15 pm
Huh?
December 30th, 2008 at 11:15 pm
brew808,
We thought about going to the gardens, but it was already past my kid's bedtime and we had skipped their nap due to all the activities we crammed in today. So, we thought we'd just do that some other time.
Lori and I toured the gardens with my Dad quite some time ago--I think that Faith was something like 6 months old then (that would be about 5 years ago).
December 30th, 2008 at 11:16 pm
Get choke lightning on Kauai right now- we are on the fringe. Not much rain- just NOISE!

Re-Teaching golf to my nephew
The first time I had read a Jack Nicklaus' book on golf I'd had remembered the part about his approach on how he would teach a youngster, basically he said to go out there on the driving range and have fun. He warned the parent/instructor from yelling and screaming. And he said better re enforcement of learning the game come from a calm and easy tempered approach. And I did this with my nephew. And it works. I don't suggests telling your son or daughter in trying to hit the caged tractor picking up the ball but I told my little one to go for it. The day he hit the 100 yrd marker he got a high five. So what if it was a ground ball. Little did he realize it at the time but I was building his confidence. And this is important.
Re-Taking the nephew to a UH practice
The impression I got from watching his reaction to practice was that I latter realized this was serendiptious moment, you know look for an egg and instead you come up with a golden egg type of moment, for his young eyes, maybe 7 or 8 yrs at the time, where instead looking at all the tall buildings, the round dorms across the way. And the coeds walking by carrying their books in their knapsacks. In a way, watching practice heightened his interests in schooling. Later when I talked to my sister she said this one practice helped him visualize the purposes of why you have to do well in school.
December 30th, 2008 at 11:22 pm
brian smith, did you get to see loeffleur or big hilo fan 2???
December 30th, 2008 at 11:23 pm
Ooohhh- impressive weather map of Kauai. Hey - I can see Liz's house with her new hydroponics gardening system! Oh wait, that's just her whole backyard under water....
December 30th, 2008 at 11:25 pm
roysan, you get potential to be coach cause you understand basic things about teaching kids.
December 30th, 2008 at 11:25 pm
brew- you are a scary guy...
what am I wearing now?
December 30th, 2008 at 11:26 pm
Hey roysan16 - this is some good stuff you're writing about. I really hope you're copying and pasting this as a journal for your self and/or family. Really interesting!
December 30th, 2008 at 11:27 pm
lizk. NOTHING!!! hahahahahahhaaaaaaaaa!!!
December 30th, 2008 at 11:27 pm
Oh no, I'm too polite to say.....
December 30th, 2008 at 11:27 pm
roysan16- THAT is one lucky nephew you get! Every keed needs one unko like you!
(sorry for the "uncle" - I just had the get another ridiculous thread going...)
December 30th, 2008 at 11:29 pm
808ike, no go yet, the fun just starting and we going to be going over mt ranier pretty soon.
December 30th, 2008 at 11:29 pm
whitey- da tunda sounds like when you live in one condo and your upstairs neighbors are rearranging the major furniture...
December 30th, 2008 at 11:31 pm
i wonder if stretch going to kauai tomorrow or he going marketing session. i hope rain stop tomorrow cause get game tomorrow with the gang.
December 30th, 2008 at 11:32 pm
40 something more to go to hit 600. can we do it in 30 min?
December 30th, 2008 at 11:32 pm
lol
na. do i still have a job is the question
December 30th, 2008 at 11:32 pm
That nearly describes the noise my tummy makes after reading Garret's post about his latest buffet binge, or after seeing photo's of the latest Tsaiko T-gate!
December 30th, 2008 at 11:32 pm
Golf is good. I put my youngah keeds in Jr. golf and da older son learned on his own. It's a fun game when you're young, a sign of sophistication (like fly fishing) when you are a teen or young adult and a source of fun once again in old age!
December 30th, 2008 at 11:33 pm
what thunder? nothing on the windward side.
December 30th, 2008 at 11:33 pm
eh, where brian smith went to. that buggah is faster than esme.
December 30th, 2008 at 11:34 pm
djmitcho- didja make it????
December 30th, 2008 at 11:34 pm
Statistically, what are the chances....
December 30th, 2008 at 11:34 pm
Who would have thought that the WAC would go 1-4 and that the only winning bowl team would be La Tech? Many of the WAC schools (and many people here) would like for La Tech to leave the WAC since the travel cost is so high and they don't really bring much to the conference. However, with the potentially big problems with Utah State, Idaho, and NMSU, the WAC cannot afford for any team to leave (whitey, that includes BSU).
Hopefully the excellent hires by Utah State and NMSU will improve the bottom of the WAC...and that means that they get good nonconference wins and beat up some of the other teams in the WAC, not UH!
December 30th, 2008 at 11:34 pm
i am not brian smith........................................
December 30th, 2008 at 11:35 pm
hmmm. checking his myspace... I think he made it!
December 30th, 2008 at 11:35 pm
all right brian. i don't know, but i think no need worry for a while since coach mc is on the mainland till the end of the month.
December 30th, 2008 at 11:36 pm
Liz - my kid gave up golf after about a year. Couldn't pass Casey Nakama's beginning class. oh well. I just wish she was interested in sports.
December 30th, 2008 at 11:36 pm
I'm back!!!!
December 30th, 2008 at 11:37 pm
Re-Best UH linebacker
My pick would be Jeff Ulbrich. Jeff had a nose for the ball. And he had a knack of getting pass the blockers in front of him. On sweep plays a lot of times you saw him in the backfield making a play. He was also explosive enough to shoot the gap. And also strong enough to hold up a blocker and react to the ball.
December 30th, 2008 at 11:39 pm
no worry braddah brian, have fun with us tonight. aunty lizk is in top form and jm2375 going stay up. garret going do his best to help us and my pal, brewski, going join me for a drink. right, brew???
December 30th, 2008 at 11:39 pm
Methinks 808ike is multi-tasking - blogging and laundry!
Kids and golf - IMHO, as long as it's fun and not all parental pressure....
December 30th, 2008 at 11:40 pm
brew808,
LizK is just like Mrs. Claus. She is checking on you if you are naughty
or nice.
December 30th, 2008 at 11:41 pm
golf is a simple game...all you need is a stick, ball, and hole. plus ball lays motionless.
December 30th, 2008 at 11:41 pm
brew no drink that Remy stuff....too foofoo/high-class....
December 30th, 2008 at 11:42 pm
welcome back 808ike. jm, no worry about your kid not doing well in golf, get plenty other things of interest.
ok, liz, still get thunda. mine finally gone, but get drizzle, so my deers do not want to visit me tonight.
December 30th, 2008 at 11:43 pm
jm2375- golf should be fun...
#2 and #3 sons played Jr. Golf a couple of years- not SERIOUS like some of their friends. Local tournaments only.
After a couple of years and growth spurt of about a FOOT each, we played again. They still had their good swings from the training but the ball would just FLY and they amazed themselves!
December 30th, 2008 at 11:43 pm
Santa Claus?... Me?.... Too late.... Lost Cause.....
December 30th, 2008 at 11:43 pm
brew808,
I should mention that we were at the Flamingo buffet for over *two hours*, and all four of us ate continuously the entire time! Lori felt guilty so she worked out at the gym here after our kids went to sleep.
The 24-hour gym here is a pretty good way to partially counter the food in Vegas. I worked out yesterday (Lori worked out then too), but today I wanted to catch up with the blog and my other web stuff so I skipped it. I did walk around for over 3 hours today, carrying Mika for over 30 minutes, so I figure I got my exercise.

VB games who holds signs and gives the VB players leis after the game.

Re-The most peculiar football moment/ and or play calling
It was back in 2002, I think, and we were up against San Diego State. In the waning moments of a 42-41 game JJ and UH had the ball around the San Diego five yard line. With around 100 seconds left in the game all JJ and UH have to do is take three knees and the game is over. On first down,however, the QB hands it off to an RB instead and he charges to the line and is stopped. The next two plays the QB takes a knee and the game is over. In retrospect if your the San Diego State team you should have "allowed" UH to score with the extra point the score would be 49-41. Ask yourself was it smart to tackle the RB? By not tackling the RB it at least allows your team at least a chance to come back with a touchdown and a two pointer. The other way is that you watch your opponent take the knees and the game is over anyway. And that's what happened after the running play.
Did anyone see what I saw at the time? So yes I'd say that was the most peculiar call on UH/JJ part.
December 30th, 2008 at 11:55 pm
I gotta hit da hay.
Sweet Warrior Dreams!
December 30th, 2008 at 11:56 pm
Raining cats and dogs.
December 30th, 2008 at 11:56 pm

December 30th, 2008 at 11:57 pm
we neva cross the magic line for the last day of 2008 yet, but before we do, want to say, Happy New Year!!!!
December 30th, 2008 at 11:59 pm
where's Esme? she looks good on tv. I wonder if they use those same "make Oprah look skinny" cameras for her commercial.
December 30th, 2008 at 11:59 pm
g'nite MLiz...
December 31st, 2008 at 12:00 am
good nite lizk, but wake up early and need your help to climb mt everest.
December 31st, 2008 at 12:02 am
Raining and hearing fireworks.
December 31st, 2008 at 12:03 am
roysan16 - That's what Doug Flutie always said. Let the other team score because he had the confidence to score right back and make the 2 pointer.
December 31st, 2008 at 12:03 am
jm2375, that's what we talking about. take team effort and hope the warriors learn this and start helping each other climb the next mountain. if they do, they going be unstoppable. teamwork beats individualism anytime in fb.
December 31st, 2008 at 12:05 am
jm2375---We don't know how to count. It is counting for us. Just typing.
December 31st, 2008 at 12:06 am
brewski, i no getting late (actually early) in your country, but thanks for everything. we going make it and hopefully no get to drunk to enjoy climbing everest.
December 31st, 2008 at 12:07 am
I have to count because i don't have the numbers on the left.
December 31st, 2008 at 12:08 am
Roysan16---- Saw that.
December 31st, 2008 at 12:09 am
Great basketball at both of the prime time games ronight - interesting that Colorado State lost it the same way that UH did in the first game - the tires deflated. UH won Pepperdine fairly easily, but my boy just kept pumping in those 3-pointers. If the team and the coaches can keep it together for the first six games, there will be much gnashing of teeth in the Nevada and Utah State locker rooms.
Saw Jason and his friend - wonder how she felt having sweat flopping all over her.
Mei Ling dropped by just before tipoff to say hi.
And Chawan_Cut dropped by as well just before the championship game as he was leaving early. He wasn't alone - probably 2,500 others left the building after the UH game.
There was someone sitting almost directly below us about 15 rows or so wearing a white cap and a black Tsai-ko teeshirt - however, I never saw his face so I have no idea who it could be.
Mahalo for the info about the Buffalo Bills team name posted in yesterday's blog. Definitely a DUUHHHHH!!! for me. Felt like someone should have Three-Stooged me upside the head for not getting it on my own.
MAKE A NOTE: For those of you who want to be at an event guaranteed to be DocFree, be sure to attend the Karaoke Call in February.
As for fireworks - thanx but no thanx - I lost my hearing when I was four years old because an older kid stuffed me in a metal garbage can, threw a whole string of lit firecrackers in it and then put the lid on the can. Fortunately, my uncle was standing just a few feet away and was able to rescue me before I caught on fire, but my hearing loss was such that I eventually had to have surgery three times over the next 30 years or so.
These days are spent holding paws and claws and trying to keep the furry and feathery friends from dashing into walls. I don't ever remember doing anything on New Year's Eve here in Hawai`i except trying to keep the roof from catching fire and calming our pets. We celebrate the next day.
The jerkbreath across the street - a major political powerbroker and labor union leader - spends about $10,000 every year on making life miserable for the rest of us here in Enchanted Lake on New Year's Eve. Please Gods - may the rains fall hard tomorrow.
ALOHA STADIUM TURF UPDATE: According to staff at Aloha Stadium, as of this writing, there are NO plans to replace the existing artifical turf
There's still a lot of research I need to do on the issue including an escorted walk-around with a professional turf installer who is honest enough to tell the truth.
Had my hair done at Macy's today courtesy of an unexpected holiday gift - however, I was stunned to see that everything is charged separately - the streaking, the shampoo, the rinse, the labor, the styling. By the time I'd shelled out for the bill and a tip, I'd spent enough money to treat LizK & Ukuboi and BHF2 & Susan to the Pro Bowl. However, it was nice indulging myself after all the horrible hassles we've had to face over the past three months.
BACK TO SPORTS: What games should we watch over the next several days? We'll record them rather than watching them live to speed up the process.
Time to wuz out of here - maybe we'kk hit 600 posts after all.
December 31st, 2008 at 12:12 am
So what Homey you been hitting the surf?
Brown water from the heavy rain and the overflowing sewage doodoo, been keeping me out of the water.

December 31st, 2008 at 12:20 am
▌Saw Jason and his friend - wonder how she felt having
▌sweat flopping all over her.
Huh? What makes you think that happened? There was sufficient space between us and the bench, so no sweat swap occurred.
December 31st, 2008 at 12:21 am
jm~~~~ - stay home cook rice.
December 31st, 2008 at 12:22 am
Jason - I don't think he was talking about the sweat from the bench.
December 31st, 2008 at 12:24 am
okay, i'm putting my violin away.
December 31st, 2008 at 12:24 am
Re-Should I have been a coach?
I don't know. My first experience was bad. It was during my first year of college...and I was inelgible for the football team (gees I wonder why?) (hello...maybe it had to do with your 340 score on the English part of the SAT test..haha..) and the AD asked if I wanted to coach a 7-8 year group. To make a long story short we lost every game and we didn't score any points. I had never played on the offensive side of the ball in HS...and the plays we ran weren't very polished. Or creative. Just block the man in front of you I would tell the players... and have the QB hand off the ball.Three and outs were so common. That's how the season went. The sad part a coach is going to tell you about coaching is that it hurts him when one of his players quits. And I agree, it did. Later they had a party for me and I met the parents and I said that we did very well with agility drills, callisthenics and short sprints. In the eyes as I remember my players there were tears, maybe of them thinking perhaps that they let me down. But we know how bad I was. Since then I haven't coached.
December 31st, 2008 at 12:28 am
sorry gang, but my internet service went blank. ok, now back to normal. i think that ST is looking at this tonight and thinking whether he should put the new post up or not, but he not going put it up cause he knows all of you working hard to climb everest, so earlies it going be around 9 am today.

December 31st, 2008 at 1:02 am
Time for Sportscenter.
December 31st, 2008 at 1:03 am

Re-Only have one entree...yes coach
Returning from a football game the bus stops over at a cafetaria for dinner. Before getting off the bus the coaches reminds the players to only choose one entree. So as I get my plate with two steaks on it I pass all the brothers and grin. It was the most feel good moment in my life, maybe I made my mark. What came next was the worst moment in my life, for in front of all the players I got yelled at by three coaches. I was saddened and sorrowful. And something told me that I didn't have to look up to know that the brothers were grinning at me. Looking back at that moment, even offering to pay for the second entree, I learned later it was the principal involved of not listening to the coaches that was really upsetting to them.
December 31st, 2008 at 1:10 am
homey, you right, espn, spent over an hours about shanahan. somehow jason elam knew something and as why he left. one smart buggah.

so you heard anything about how Sarkisian stay making wit us? Pete Carroll stay making nice fo him to come ova here and cockroach our coach.
December 31st, 2008 at 3:01 am
We gotta strap up and be ready for go. I think with that new coaching staff at NMSU, goin be a little bit more challenging in the WAC. That Walker guy is a very well respected coach in the fraternity. He will do real well recruiting that diamond in the rough city kids from L.A., Dallas/Fort Worth, Houston, and Denver.
December 31st, 2008 at 3:02 am
I never hear anything, what coach does he want to coackroach?
December 31st, 2008 at 3:03 am

good morning pride. and bhf2, Happy New Year to you.

December 31st, 2008 at 3:16 am
I'll see you there Hi-flyer.
December 31st, 2008 at 3:21 am
Ok, so who else is still up and lurking this late/early on New Years Eve.
December 31st, 2008 at 3:21 am
I gotta figure out how this actually works. A coupla years ago Daniel went to the UH speed and quickness. They not offering him . Get a few great 8th graders over here and I'm thinking about the future. I know, Daniel is a borderline D1 midget.
So is dat Maiava.
December 31st, 2008 at 3:23 am
Dane's dad, Kevin was a very, very, good offensive tackle for Cal-Berkley in 1977 and 1978. Kevin walked away from the game, to attend the San Francisco Conservatory of Music. At the time that Kevin walked away from the game, he was mentioned in the same breath as another offensive tackle at USC at that time by the name of Anthony Munoz. Both were athletic offensive linemen who ran 4.7 second 40's.
December 31st, 2008 at 3:28 am
Maiava get attitude. Thats what you need, attitude. Like walking up to someone else's watah and swiping em right out from unda da noze.
plus, you gotta be able to take da hit and den crack back wit conviction an sum swerve kine moves an ah sultry key eye tonal inflekshun.
December 31st, 2008 at 3:29 am
and we all know how well Anthony Munoz did in the NFL.
December 31st, 2008 at 3:30 am
Fall 1978 is the same year that Manu Tuiasosopo was a senior at UCLA. Manu was the starting defensive tackle alongside a true freshman from Hawaii by the name of Mark Tuinei. Mark said that he couldn't understand why Manu was so emotional during the week of the USC game. Mark actually started laughing when Manu cried in the locker room after pre-game warmups. It was during that first game his freshman year when Mark truly learned what a rivalry was. He said that it was 100 times bigger than the Kamehameha-Punahou game.
December 31st, 2008 at 3:32 am
I apologize for writing posting non-Hawaii football realted stories. Just trying to contribute to the blog count.
December 31st, 2008 at 3:43 am
I like reading your posts Pride. Nostalgic.
December 31st, 2008 at 3:45 am
Kani Kauahi tells a funny story about when he played at Arizona State. They played a game in 1978 at Colorado State in Fort Collins, Colorado. When ASU warmed up before the game, it was a beautiful and sunny Saturday. Great football weather. During the time that ASU was in the locker room after warm-ups, a blizzard swept through Fort Collins. Luckily, the ASU staff was prepared and had the Sun Devils dawn their cold weather gear with thermal tights and underwear. During the first offensive series while running up to the line, Kani noticed that the defensive tackle and defensive end to his side had their warm weatrher uniforms still on. He said that they had their mesh, half jerseys that didn't cover their rock hard bellies. Their midriffs and arms were totally exposed to the near 0 degree temperatures. Mike Bell and Al "Bubba" Baker wrecked complete havoc that day on the ASU offense. Coach Frank Kush was so angry at the team that the Sun Devils had lined up in the locker room at half time and had a full 11 on 11 scrimmage. Coach Kush was nuts.
December 31st, 2008 at 3:50 am
Happy New Year Everyone in Tsaiko land.
December 31st, 2008 at 3:53 am
Maybe I can do 50 more posts by myself.
December 31st, 2008 at 3:54 am
Jason, I hope that you had a good time tonight at the game.
December 31st, 2008 at 3:56 am
I'm really looking forward with excitement toward NLI day. This coaching staff really understands how to recruit. They have doen a wonderful job so far.
December 31st, 2008 at 3:56 am
Pride,
you hear anythng more about UH recruiting foreigners?
December 31st, 2008 at 3:58 am
i'M SO HAPPY TO HEAR YOU SAY THAT, PRIDE SIR!
December 31st, 2008 at 3:59 am
BHfan2, I'm really out of the loop as far as information is concerned. I rely on my secret scources, Al and Stretch. Oops, sorry. Please keep their names a secret though.
December 31st, 2008 at 4:02 am
watching the Oregon OklaSt game tonight, watching the teams after the game congragulating each other, seeing a really hard fought respectful game for the opponent, made me feel really good about both teams. I hope our coaches saw the game too.
December 31st, 2008 at 4:02 am
BHFan2. Fans gotta be patient. The coaching staff is going to be good. Give them a few years to bring in some solid players, and get some solid coaching, and they'll be fine.
December 31st, 2008 at 4:03 am
you think that Cavanaugh going stay OSU with their coach through 2015?
December 31st, 2008 at 4:07 am
i can tell you this much, Pride. you fine, I'm fine. but if you know the back bedroom is burning, you gotta let me know so I can do something. I'm VERY patient, if I know the cavalry is coming. But I no like be a Lions fan. I don't need a no win season to read the sign. I get glasses. yuk yuk.
December 31st, 2008 at 4:09 am
okay, i'm tired. gotta crash. be back at 6am HST
December 31st, 2008 at 4:11 am
Every year is a new year. Every season is a new season. Like we learned last year, in January, you never know what's going to happen. I don't think the coaches know. Who would have thought eighteen months ago that the Army-Navy game would have two ex-Hawaii coaches playing such large roles. Who would have known one year ago that Norm Chow would be at UCLA. The coaching landscape is dynamic, always changing.
December 31st, 2008 at 4:11 am
The good of the people is the greatest law.
Go Warriors!
December 31st, 2008 at 4:12 am
See you later then.

December 31st, 2008 at 4:57 am
Al ~ Da Tsaiko uncles have failed to give Jason a more rounded education. By that I mean encouraging him to be more attentive to the needs of the opposite sex. We have to ensure he takes every opportunity to explore the social aspect of courting the young ladies of the UH more often.
December 31st, 2008 at 4:59 am
Kekoa,
I'm volunteering for the education patrol.
I'm a bit rusty tho. been along while since i seen da insides ah ah bus. 
December 31st, 2008 at 5:00 am

December 31st, 2008 at 5:00 am
I say we send him to Big Hilo for advance classes...

Al!...Hey!...Wat?...you wen poop out on us?
December 31st, 2008 at 5:03 am

December 31st, 2008 at 5:04 am

Hi-Flyer! Was at Hickam last nite. Took Diana to see the 'Tower.' It's a tradition for us that started back around the late sixties. Prolly one of the largest light displays on the island, but only the people who have access to the base will ever see it. Too bad, it's very impressive.
December 31st, 2008 at 6:18 am
Just finished work, rough night, tough crowd here at Psycho bar and fishing supply on Koreamoku St.
One guy kept harassing the girls so I had to beat him senseless with my haole koa peg leg.
The guy was a short Filipino with a shotglass of CR in one hand and a set of hashi in the other.
All he said was to mumble "no picture"
Then there were some men wearing skirts, they hadda go, but for some reason I felt just a little bit of kinship with those fellows.
At least Pac-Man Jones didn't come last night.
December 31st, 2008 at 6:53 am

well, I tried the Tilapia, found out that Jerome climbed the fence at NBC and caught the Tilaps with his net.
The tilapia tasted of sewage, cigarette butts with a slight hint of armpit.
Not bad with wasabi and shoyu but hard to take raw, by itself.
Jerome brought over some bbq sticks, not bad, said they were a PI favorite called Ah-So, Hmm wonder what that is
December 31st, 2008 at 7:40 am

Mahalo to all the Tsaikos for a wonderful 2008. When I count my blessings, the Tsaiko ohana is always near the top of that list.
I hope that everyone has a moment tonight, in their quiet time, to reflect on the blessings they have shared with others. May 2009 be a good year for everyone, and may we all persevere through our challenges that we shall face. And you know my mantra that I share with everyone...make memories, make memories, make memories.........

Mahalo Koakane for the reminder...My best wishes to all the Tsaiko citizens for a very happy and prosperous new year as well.
Looking back at all the ruckus we raised the past year makes me smile. It's moments like that, and people like you, who make it all worth it in my eyes.
Bulla sez it best wen he tells us to make memories. I've made some very special ones with the Tsai-ko's. Nobody I knows or can begin to imagine how much fun we've had this past year! We even astound ourselves when we look at what good deeds we have accomplished along the way.
Each of you have touched my life in a way I've never experienced before. May Ke Akua bless you all with good health this coming new year.
December 31st, 2008 at 7:53 am
oops...should read, "nobody I know can begin..."

Echoing Bulla-
"God's purpose in sending His Prophets unto men is twofold. The first is to liberate the children of men from the darkness of ignorance, and guide them to the light of true understanding. The second is to ensure the peace and tranquillity of mankind, and provide all the means by which they can be established."
Mahalo to Stephen Tsai- who, for some reason, has managed to attract a sample microcosm that demonstrates what life is like in a busy, peaceful world, free of the many artificial barriers that seem to divide humanity!
and blah blah blah (stepping down from soapbox and into da showah).

Happy New Years, Warriors!
December 31st, 2008 at 8:16 am
Eh Lizzy girl, be careful. Stepping from a soapbox into a shower sounds mighty slippery. Bum bye you fall down...
December 31st, 2008 at 8:16 am
It's a tough economy out there and $30/lb for ahi is pretty pricey. How many Tsaikos opting for the lower priced tilapia sashimi this New Year's Eve?
December 31st, 2008 at 8:17 am
Got to go. Be back in couple of hrs. Hope to contribute again.
December 31st, 2008 at 8:18 am
Note to Liz -

December 31st, 2008 at 8:21 am

Hiya Momo! How are you and the Mrs.? It's too bad you're not there in LV with the "kids" (2 generations) and vice-versa, too bad they aren't there in the 808 to help burn fireworks and cheer in the new year! BTW - if you and the Mrs. need any help eating any leftover pan lau lau or any other delish fuud, please don't hesitate to give the Tsaiko gang a holler! Happy New Year!

Houston and Air Force tied at 17 Halftime
If you were a betting person and watching this game, it was a very emotional roller coaster the last few minutes.
December 31st, 2008 at 8:37 am
koakane™ - Thanks, but these are all recycled graphics. Please tell us more about the pig head. Oh wait, no more Rob25 to gross out. Will this be roasted? The cheek is the sweetest part....

December 31st, 2008 at 8:44 am
Howzit Stretch! Are you "working" on Kauai this last day of 2008. What time does the "bonus" marketing begin?
December 31st, 2008 at 8:46 am
Bruddah Kekoa - Are you a member of the Tsaiko 900 Club???
December 31st, 2008 at 8:46 am

December 31st, 2008 at 8:52 am
Kekoa - there were about 15 people total on the flight coming over this morning. I think it will be crowded coming back. I think I better leave early before everyone else.
December 31st, 2008 at 8:53 am
Any report from Jason (or anyone else) on his date????
December 31st, 2008 at 8:53 am
If nothing else- the past Tsai-ko year proved that from great adversity comes great victory - when all are united in aloha.
Let us continue the grand new tradition in 2009 and beyond.
OK- out da doah!
December 31st, 2008 at 8:54 am
Howzit 99club! How are things in Texas? What kind of celebration is planned in San Angelo? BBQ? Fireworks? It looks like the UT and TT games are spread-out over the weekend. I'm expecting W's for both schools/teams.
AFC, UH (Houston) tied at 17 @ halftime
Have a terrific holiday and Happy New Year!
December 31st, 2008 at 8:54 am
well gang, its been quite a year, please bear with me as i reminisce
i had the honor to meet in person a master, an instigator, a princess, a couple big hearted cancer survivors, the mayor of the ceded lands and his pops, a former Warrior lineman, a proud crusader/wildcat football papa, a riled up warrior fan that has all the UA gear, and of course the mystery man with the big guns and artwork.
hey and i even got lucky enough to win a couple of prizes here
even with the setback in the loa ohana this year, i could always count on the gang here to cheer me up and am looking forward to a brighter 2009
everyone have a safe and happy New Years
GO WARRIORS!
December 31st, 2008 at 8:56 am
Hi Liz! That was a fun trip. Can't wait 'til the LV game to see all 'da Tsaikos again.
December 31st, 2008 at 8:56 am
OK gang. We got until 11:20 AM before it is officially 24 hrs. If we hit 1200 before that time, ST should have a (TBA) prize ready for that final poster.
If we continue to 11:20 AM without making it, we owe ST & Wena a (TBA) prize.
Sound reasonable?
December 31st, 2008 at 8:57 am
jj
drinking beer, catching some rays, drinking beer, did I mention drinking beer?
December 31st, 2008 at 8:58 am
Liz - Your post of #905 says, "900something".
What's that? an age?, a weight?, a calorie count for breakfast?, and count of leaks in "someone's" roof?
December 31st, 2008 at 8:58 am
Stretch...wait, people go to Kauai???
That was for you leadfoot tita...had to get a last one in before the new year....LMAO
December 31st, 2008 at 8:58 am
Whoa, I woke up this morning and see how many posts. Have you all gone crazy? Closing in on 1000. Must be some kind of record.
December 31st, 2008 at 9:00 am
Can I join this cast of thousands?
Happy New Year one and all!
December 31st, 2008 at 9:01 am
It's so strange that ALL of the DHS Tsaikos use the phrase, "bwhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa", or "Bwahahahaha!". Sheeshh, the brothers must have beat that into your mindsets/vocabulary!
December 31st, 2008 at 9:03 am
At this moment, it is approaching midnight December 31 somewhere in the world...
Please post your New Year greeting/wish on the blog when it is midnight your local time AND include your city/state or city/country in your post.
EXAMPLES:
Happy New Year from Salem, OR
Happy New Year from San Georgio, Italy
(It's OK to post earlier than midnight your time)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
This will spread your good wishes, increase ST's hit and comments count for The Warrior Beat, and help me update my Tsai-ko Mainland & International list!

December 31st, 2008 at 9:07 am
Koakane ~ No can go kope kall...E kala mai!...I'm on KP today. Da boss got me and Pops on duty for da rest of this year! Da tunda you heard last night...yep...dat was her barking out orders like one drill Sgt.
December 31st, 2008 at 9:09 am
I see that Bruddah Keko has already "modified" the rules and set a "24 hour record" challenge. The previous post records didn't have such a constraint. (SteveM - correct me if I'm wrong.)
You know, ST is probably oblivious of the this mayhem ongoing on his blog. Either that, he's sitting back shaking his head wondering what has he done, like Dr. Frankenstein!
Okay, from SteveM's website - here are the numbers to shoot for:
December 31st, 2008 at 9:10 am
Brew-
Same to you, my friend! I've got a few cold ones in the fridge next to a boneless leg of lamb roast gettin' thawed for tomorrow. We're just taking it easy today with movies and football. Hmmmm...it's New Years in Tashkent. I think I'll join the celebration with them.
December 31st, 2008 at 9:10 am
December 31st, 2008 at 9:10 am

My non-stop flight to SAN from HNL landed at LAX last night. Go figure...
December 31st, 2008 at 9:13 am
btw where is the homey one? he gotta be lurking somewhere
morning al
December 31st, 2008 at 9:15 am
koakane™ - my e-addy is hidden on SteveM's website. I've been on lots of joke exchanges. It's pretty easy to spot as it says, brew.... Oh wait - Bwahahahaha! Hehe!
December 31st, 2008 at 9:16 am
OK let's talk about what everyone's special dish is for tonight's NY eve feast?
Shelton is frying a large snapper in the wok with chinese peanut oil and cornstarch. He also bought a few small aweoweo to do the same. Gonna be ono.
December 31st, 2008 at 9:17 am
lol
December 31st, 2008 at 9:18 am
Hiya J - Hey - at least it's the same state! Sorry you can't be in the 808 for New Years. Hope you have a nice holiday visit while you were there. Not too much rain? Ha! Happy New Year! Be safe & healthy!
December 31st, 2008 at 9:18 am
grrr
December 31st, 2008 at 9:19 am
If you are stuck at work at your desk with little to do because everyone else has already gone home, you could watch the bowl games on this site.

December 31st, 2008 at 9:21 am

speaking of which when you arrive early from kauai
going straight home (as the lady of soul signs chain chain) or top off someplace?
December 31st, 2008 at 9:22 am
okay i'll be off to hunt for some sashimi.
wish me luck.
should i go to chinatown or marukai?
big time decision.
December 31st, 2008 at 9:22 am
Just took some laulau and smoked ham out of the imu........

December 31st, 2008 at 9:22 am
Hey brew808,
I got to make fun of ST's forgetfulness, harass Wena, saw the Tsai kids and ate a lot. Winner.
Yup, definitely missing NYE at home. Fireworks with the family is better and safer than dealing with drunks on the mainland. Probably just end up at some friends' Rock Band house party tonight if I do anything. Too bad they think dessert is food and don't have much else...
December 31st, 2008 at 9:23 am
what the heo
December 31st, 2008 at 9:23 am
Where's whitey</b? Did he wake up with the empty Remy bottle stuck to his finger?
December 31st, 2008 at 9:27 am
Bay Area Brewster ~ I think that if we were ever going to submit to the Guiness World Record keepers, we would have to establish a time frame to base our claim.
SteveM ~ Do you think we could apply for a "Most Best" blog category of some sort? How should we title it? Imagine that, we could be record holders already!
December 31st, 2008 at 9:28 am
Howzit duffer - Can I come over to kau kau some of your lau lau right now now? Haha!
Hey - do you know if bruddah whitey is AOK and made is tee-time. I guess this means you weren't part of his foursome. 
December 31st, 2008 at 9:29 am
Eh Brew - I absolutely DO cook. Look at the size of my older son. He didn't get to 285 on Shelton's cooking! Ha.
FYI, I made a huge pot of Oxtail Stew for Christmas Day, and lucky for us, since the power went out, we warmed it on the propane stove and ate oxtail thru the rain storm the next night.
December 31st, 2008 at 9:31 am
C'mon gang...only 46 more posts to go....

Let's here more about Nalani's fuud and all of here cooking gadgets! Oooohhhhh, maybe she'll describe Shelton's Honda Generator again.....
December 31st, 2008 at 9:43 am
brew,
Haven't seen whitey since the SHB, except for here. The darkside kinda frowns on people ordering soft drinks!
When you get over here, I got the P-sausage, Komoda's, and I'll freeze some laulau.....well maybe not the laulau, but the ham I will.
December 31st, 2008 at 9:45 am
Oh, wait my Chinatown report:
$27.50 per pound; nice kine, got 2#
also 2# cut of Onaga for #2 son to prepare. $15.50 per pound

The record blog post counts were based on a single "blog entry" as created by ST. He usually made one entry every calendar day except on chat days. There was no time constraint.
Sooo -- if we are trying for another record, we could stay on this blog entry -- even if ST put up a new one.
December 31st, 2008 at 9:46 am
Happy New Year to all the sport fans that make interesting comments on Stephens blog.
December 31st, 2008 at 9:48 am
Okay, I'll play.... My dad is going to simmer a HUGE abalone I gave him (He has some secret recipe - then cuts it into paper thin slices for pupus). The sucker is just under 3 lbs, cleaned! My buddies had to fend off a school of great white sharks harvesting that off the Mendocino coast. That's my "gift" to the family!

It's been a great year hanging out with you Tsaikos this year! Both online & live w/ fuud, football & tsong. More fun next year. I'm sure The Lion will not be Sleeping Tonight...
SteveM, my Mom's k-mike doesn't have our fearless leader's song pre-loaded. Different model. Her new chip does have Sound of Music songs, tho, and others that I can sing.

Safe driving & fireworks popping out there today!

Loco moco with a side order of bacon is a good way to say good bye to 2008. UH should sell it at all sporting events to make money at SSC and Murakami stadium.
December 31st, 2008 at 9:58 am

yikes.

Nalani ~ Bet da keeds would luv to do some choice cuts of prime beef in a Fondue and then dip it in different kinds of sauces...oh yum! I'm ono for that for lunch now.
December 31st, 2008 at 9:58 am
So I took the team quiz at the top of the blog a couple of times. I can consistently get around 80-85 teams correct. Don't know if that is good or not. I usually remembered all of the WAC teams, but have missed a couple of the MWC teams. I really suck when it comes to the MAC and Sun Belt. I think I usually miss at least half of those every time. I didn't even try the bowl game one. Those things change names so often, I wouldn't even have a chance.
Happy New Year everyone.
December 31st, 2008 at 9:59 am
Sadly... no posts from the 702 (except from Garret). I hope it's because everybody's winning some kala, and NOT that they're all partying and forgot about us....
December 31st, 2008 at 9:59 am
Whoosh...
"Graham Harrell enters his final game needing just two touchdowns to break former Hawaii quarterback Colt Brennan’s record for most touchdown passes in a career at 131. In three seasons as Tech’s starting quarterback, Harrell had 15,429 yards passing and 130 touchdowns. Harrell finished fourth in the Heisman vote and won the Johnny Unitas award."
Whoosh!
December 31st, 2008 at 10:00 am
that sounds more ono than one big mac.
and no forget slather some mayo on top the rice before you dump the rest of the stuff.
December 31st, 2008 at 10:00 am

Wow we almost have 1000 posts for the day. I don't know if we can catch the record, but we can certainly catch DPK's bio day for third place.

Yummy recipe for New Years:
Bagne Cauda
Prepare veggies like broccoli, wonbok, artichoke hearts, mushrooms, cauliflower, etc. by cutting into bite sized pieces. Parboil if desired and drain.
Cut slices of Italian or Fench bread.
* 1/2 cup butter
* 10 cloves garlic, minced
* 2 (2 ounce) cans anchovy fillets, drained
* 1 pint heavy cream
DIRECTIONS
1. Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in garlic and cook until tender. Reduce heat to low. Mix in anchovy filets and heavy cream. Cook and stir until thickened. Remove from heat.
Dip the veggies into the sauce and eat with the bread. YUM!

December 31st, 2008 at 10:13 am
Since the Four Basic Food Groups are sugar, chocolate, coffee and butter, I am looking forward to eating Triple Chocalate Bourbon Brownies tonight between sessions of cleaning up after canine and feline upset tummies.
Early Happy New Year to everyone. Be safe and be sure to use a designated driver if you're imbibe too much.
December 31st, 2008 at 10:13 am
Ummmm... what is "fench bread"?
December 31st, 2008 at 10:13 am
No spy. But I just wanted to know if the compliance people are on top of things. Something about mechanical aids are a nono. Was just wondering if JUGS and blocking machines fall under this category.
December 31st, 2008 at 10:14 am
roysan...I think that's okay...it's only coaching that's not allowed....
December 31st, 2008 at 10:15 am

New Years Eve memories:
My dad's birthday was Jan 1 and my grandpa's was Dec 31, so we had big party at our house. Grandpa would make chicken hekka on da hibachi and we would have "horse races" (using dice) and got to pick small presents (usually money) off a "tree".

Depending on whether ST comes in with a new blog, we can beat the old record!
Post and post often!
December 31st, 2008 at 11:06 am
Hiya Ronnie ~ Happy New Year!...prolly talk to you on Friday.
I hate to tell you this but they opened a really huge Chun Wah Kam Noodle Factory here in Kapolei. You and da boys gotta come grind with us next time you come home. They still make all kine Manapua. They are so huge, that D-1 can only eat 2 of theirs instead of 6 from brand X.
December 31st, 2008 at 11:08 am
jm2375 -- I can assure you that brew808 is real. He has a, advanced virtual spy satellite in geosynchronous orbit over Hawaii and deep insight into human nature...he just hides it well.
Bwahahahaha
But don't probe his background deeper, or you might notice guys with suits, ear wigs, and binoculars across the street.
December 31st, 2008 at 11:08 am

December 31st, 2008 at 11:11 am
When BC was interviewing a newspaper columnists from Chicago you got a sense that newspapers are cutting back on expenses. The columnists BC was interviewing before the Notre Dame game says, "Our newspaper would usually send two reporters over, but only one to the Hawaii game this year". He goes on to say that two other big newspaper companies in Chicago didn't send any columnists. So obviously this is the sign of the times facing the newspaper companies. And if the big national papers are cutting their losses I wonder how it would effect us here locally, especially with the HA. Normally going on the road trips we here from both Ferd and ST. The Pro Day ST did was great and I'd miss his coverage if it came down to something out of his control. But what's in store for the future with all the papers scaling down, and all the journalists and employees being let go really concern and saddens me.

This is what ST said-- so no need look at new post
Happy ending
December 31st, 2008 by Stephen Tsai
Well, that was an eventful year.
No need to rehash it, since I’m sure every news organization will do that today and tomorrow. But here’s something that turned up. It’s a letter from the owner of a construction company to Na Koa, the UH football booster club. It was written during the summer:
“I am pleased to make a donation in the amount of $1,000 to Na Koa Football Club in the name of Colt Brennan. Recently, Colt agreed to help my family with autographs on footballs and jerseys. When we asked what we could do for him, typical of Colt, he had no compensation expectations but suggested that if there was any interest in making a donation, that we make the donation to Na Koa so that it can contribute toward the successes of the UH football program.
“One of the autographed footballs will be going to a youngster in our family living in San Diego who is an avid fan of Colt’s and very recently found out he has Hodgkins disease. The football autographed by Colt will be a very special gift … as (he) faces a medical challenge for his young life.
“Colt is a very special young man, and he is sincerely appreciative for all he has done to provide hope and improve the UH football program, the university and to our state, and we owe him a debt of gratitude. It is clear that Colt believes in Na Koa and the support it provides to the UH football program, and I am glad to be able to act on his suggestion.”

SteveM, our archivist, suggested that when it’s the new year in your area, you post it. Like most of SteveM’s suggestions, this sounds like a good one.

If given the choice of who I would rather watch do the play by play for UH football games, K5 or the ESPN announcers, I pick the ESPN announcers. What I like about the ESPN team is that they diagram plays. And even act like coaches up in the broadcasts booth. I don't remember which commentator exactly, but he would say things like the UH coach should do this and the DC and OC should do that. Adding a coaches like prespective to the television viewers to see and follow is educational. And much entertaining than listening to K5 IMO.

Colt was a fine young man. On past blogs I have feverishly written to some extent about Colt, his Heisman chase, his examples of humility on and off the field and how he gives back more to others than to himself, for he was the first person you'd see that would willingly deflect all praise to himself and rather give it to his team mates. Reading about the gentlemen donating to Na Koa in Colt's honor further validates what a great person Colt is.

When MLK said, "I have a dream....", what, did he say he'd finish that sentence in his next speech? Remember the announcer on the Hindenburg disaster, exclaiming the horror to the scene. Oh the disappointment. The little peeps have so little to pull for.... Crushed. Boohoo....

The Snows of Maunakea
I have sailed a hundred thousand miles
And I have seen the wonder of my child
I have logged a hundred thousand smiles
Still I’m lonely for my mountain by the sea

Oh, the snows of Maunakea, like the sweet winds of Waimea
Bring a peace that I have never known
Till I see my island someday, I’ll find a reason someway
To make the snows of Maunakea my home
December 31st, 2008 at 11:58 am
When you see her thru the swirling winds of Maui
With a lei of falling snow around her hair
And when you see, oh, shimmering snow in silver moonlight
You’ll believe all the legends that you’ve read

Oh, the snows of Maunekea, like the fire of Kilauea
That made my life a never ending song
And the sands of Kalapana, and the winding road to Hana
And the mountain’s whispering forest that I roam
For the snows of Maunakea are my home
