Irene Wilton, 90
Irene Wilton, the mother of volleyball coach Mike Wilton, died today from injuries suffered when she was struck by a car in Santa Barbara, the Santa Barbara Independent reported.
At age 90, Mrs. Wilton was a feisty woman who had hiked regularly.
Here’s the article:
Irene Wilton, the 90-year old pedestrian struck by a car while crossing the intersection of Foothill and Cieneguitas roads on May 29, died this afternoon at Cottage Hospital as a result of her injuries. Though the California Highway Patrol has stated that alcohol was not a factor in the accident, it remains under investigation. No charges have been filed against the 84-year-old woman who hit Wilton.

Running backs Leon Wright-Jackson and Jake Heun have worked extra hard this summer. Wright-Jackson, who weighs about 220 pounds, is trying to gain strength while maintaining his speed. Heun, who is from Alaska, has lost about six pounds running sprints in Manoa’s heat.
In this picture, Wright-Jackson helps Heun stretch out:

This is why blog hosts are not full-time photographers. I didn’t think I had all three subjects in the picture. So I tried to slide one out. But they all got into the frame … only they’re all pushed to the left. From the left, Jon Medeiros, Aaron Bain and Kealoha Pilares.

Of our blog readers, d1shima is one of the most talented singers. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=syuxX4A85ko) He also delivers a strong voice of opinion, insight and humor as one of our frequent posters. Meet the Dean of bloggers:
Greetings All.
I’m d1shima and I am a Tsaiko. (All together now, “Hi, d1shima.”)
I grew up in “Da Housing” two blocks away from Farrington with my Mom and one of my brothers. Although I was fortunate enough to have earned scholarships to attend private schools throughout most of my primary education, the tempestuousness of youth got the best of me during Senior year and I was “allowed” to graduate from FHS. The good news there is that’s where I met Mrs. d1shima and we’ve been together since. (Everybody say, “Awwww”)
My Dad was a big sports fan and although divorced from my Mom he still played a big enough role in raising me to pass that along. Friday afternoons in the fall would find me on the bus from Nuuanu (shout out to Hongwanji Mission School) to Mo’ili’ili for HS football at the Termite Palace. At first, my interest was mostly in the bands, the cheering sections and the cheerleaders (even had songleaders back then). I still can remember a songleader named Emme for FHS that we all now watch on her TV specials.
Eventually though I started falling in love with the football itself. The big thrill was going on Saturday nights to watch UH play. I had no idea who Linfield, Humboldt St., and Pacific were or where they came from but I lived and died by the way the ‘Bows played on those nights. Larry Arnold, Larry Cole, Golden Richards were heroes.
Interestingly, fuud became associated with football then, too. The saimin, stadium hotdogs, Frosty Malts! Even as I write this I start salivating! Haha. Oh, and don’t forget the boiled peanuts; to this day, I’m the only one in the family who enjoys dried boiled peanuts.
So fast forward to present day and the heroes for me now are my two sons, #1 just finished his second year of teaching back at his Alma Mater, St. Louis, and of course, many of you know that #2 just graduated last week from there. Those guys love football. And they amaze me constantly with how devotedly they work to prepare themselves for it as a coach now for one and as a player for the other.
Mrs. d1shima and I celebrated our 25th anniversary last summer and now with #2 going away to Linfield this coming August, we’ll begin the transition to “empty-nesters.” We’re both glad I found this Tsaiko community to be a part of that. I started reading the Warrior Beat last season in search of some info for the Las Vegas game. Little did I know that what I would actually find was such a fine, fun and frolicking community.
And now I’ll get to share all that I find out about Linfield.

My pal Gwyn, a sales rep at The Tizer, celebrated a belated birthday.
BINGO!
Our new running game is gonna be FAN – Tastic !
Oh finally, da door is open…Good morning ST!
ST & Tsaiko Blog Dogs,
ST…you should always take pictures with two eyes open. That way the format of the pictures will be centered. Learned that from a photog.
d1shima, thanks for sharing your bio. I too remember the Termite Palace days and eating boiled peanuts.
Hiya!
Top 10. Nice post from d1shima. His #2 will be going to school at Linfield with one of my top students.
Wow, wea stay everybody?
Did I make them all give up da blog?
d1shima:
Brah, geez you one public school grad. Right on! Everytime I get one chance to eat Frosty Malts, I think of Honolulu Stadium. Good times.
And I gotta admit, being a St Louis man is special. Best wishes to your family.
morning everyone
most excellent d1 and shaka bradah
I lost my wireless for a bit…
Welcome lonomakana!
Aw-right, d1 (and Mrs d1) !!!
ST- nice pix. Next lesson: cropping.
gigi- Greg Shepherd says HI!
HI HO!
Good morning Tsaikos.
d1shima, great bio. All this time I thought you were an older rooster, but you are still a young cock. Hahahahahaaaahhh! Well done. Congratulations to both your sons.
haha, ST is still tweaking…
woo hoo!
D1 ~ Good Job!…Can’t wait for Paht 2 – Da Linfield Legacy. Da boys should be proud of dere Papa.
In an empty nest, I’ve heard it said that you can get your newspaper, pipe, and slippahs delivered with a little more speed and quickness. True or not true?
great bio d1! and i agree, boiled peanuts are awesome. though maybe i haven’t had them dried. anyway, i also wanted to pass along highlights of The Chad Owens Show from last night:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=XkTGTEynyDg
d1, you write so well. You should write a book! Thanks for sharing. I can’t wait to meet you on the 19th.
Liz, I’m surprised Greg Shepherd remembers me — or was he just being polite?
Damien . . . Farrington.
Toe-MAY-toe … Toe-MAH-toe.
hey d1,
great bio, thanks for sharing
brought back a lot of memories
happy belated 25 to you and the mrs.
and i learned a couple more f’s to add to the list, hehe
Gigi ~ Aloma & Paloma came to visit this weekend. All I said was, “Gigi golfs now!” I could hear the laughter reverberating all the way back to Pearl City Highlands! (Tsai…)
whitey – rotflmffao 😆
Kekoa, I’m suuuure glad I brought humor back into their lives! haha
ST, I finally broke down and emailed Scott Morifuge about the fast blog clock and asked him if he could fix it. Let’s see if he does.
sorry, Morifuji
Tombo!
Mighty MOUSE is in da HOUSE!!!
“I still got it!”
aloha kakahiaka-
nice to ‘meet you’ d1- ah…frosty malts…and ‘dried’ boiled peanuts? used to help make boiled peanuts for my hubby’s family store, which were ono, but not sure about the ‘dried’ part…sounds like an oxymoron…
great to learn from ST’s article that Tyler is getting it together re: academics- Tyler, we are rooting for you! Keep up the good work!
good day to all…
Go Warriors!
I just delete the pictures I don’t like. Thank goodness for digital cameras, otherwise I’d be spending a fortune on wasted film!
Ono for boiled peanuts now! Whatever happened to Frosty Malts? Did Aliens wisk them away to another planet or what?
gigi-
I said ” G – C- H…ley” says hi.
Greg said “H…ey, nice lady.”
I’d say he remembered you.
if you didn’t watch the video of d1, you gotta do so…not only is he a talented singer, but get one bon dancer accompanying him!
d1, next time you come to Maui, plan to see us and I will get you some boiled peanuts on the dry side. My friend is starting up a business and his specialty is boiled peanuts and pickled mango (and sometime pipanola).
time to go for breakfast of champions, so you all have a great day.
CO is one of my most favorite players of all time. I wish he could have done better in the NFL. I thought he had a legitimate chance with the Bucs, but I don’t think he made it past the first round of cuts.
gigi,
yea it has been going up like the price of gas 😆
mentioned about the time stamp also thanks for following up
Here’s a video of d1shima preparing for a Karaoke Call:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=J0IweJ0g39I
Mahalo all.
Lookng forward to midori7’s bio tomorrow!
HiHo!
haha.
Stephen, you funny guy!
Aloha kakahiaka!
ST ~ Great pics!
Wonderful BIO d1shima! It was great to meet you at the mini-CC in Feb. Look forward to hearing you sing at a K-call!
Great bio d1. Hope everyone has a great day.
When Owens played at UH, the reporters all agreed he sorta-sorta resembled Sylvester Stallone.
So, naturally, because everybody is chicken, I say to CO: “Yo, Adrian!”
To which, he said: “I’m Rocky, and I’m going to knock you out.”
LOL…mean the shocker!
37th! Great pics and bio…
ST
What kind of camera do you have?
Brah, geez you one public school grad. Right on! Everytime I get one chance to eat Frosty Malts, I think of Honolulu Stadium. Good times.
Honolulu Stadium – frosty malt, boiled peanuts, and S & S Saimin, classics.
“line-ups, 10 cents! get your line-ups!”
“popcorn, peanuts, chips, coke!”
the smell of cigars, the shave ice shop across King St. (rainbow flavor the bestest), an okazuya i believe on the corner of King and Hausten, DON’T walk under the bleachers.
anyone remember the brand name of the stadium clock? [i don’t]
and oh yeah….Good Morning to all!
ey- ST’s getting techie posting d1’s karaoke warm up (#30)…which sure brought back memories…and, I’ll admit it, chicken skin and a teary eye…say what you will about Michael Jackson, but he has talent….and it is still amazing, this many years later, to see people with such radically different voices and styles harmonzing…classic!
ST coming on 1420 “shortly”
Tombo Ahi- thanks for sharing vid of Chad Owens- I adore him- here’s a walk on to UH who gave his all- worked for everything he ever got! Was a tremendous asset to the team and helped to make Chang look good. I’m so bummed that pro efforts have been so challenging-
ST- to what do you attribute the challenges? And, what about Texas team?
Warriors are gonna have a few big guys at RB. The QB to reciever ratio would seem to present a problem. Will everybody get enough reps?
He’s D1, D only, and one of D nicest guys you could ever hope to meet. 🙂 Great bio, Kalhi guy!
ST, the Grand PooBah, now on 1420.
Good morning all…
D1…loved the bio…man you’ve had an historic life. Hope I can say the same when I get that up in age…..you know me, I just turned 29…..BWAAHAHAHAHAHHA….only kidding…great bio though brought back some memories……
ST…That’s heresy to say Farrington=Damien….the Farrington guys wouldn’t like that….mwahahahahahaha
Good to see CO had an awesome game last night. I just keep thinking some guy named Warner also started off playing AFL…than won a SB in the NFL……hmmmmmmm
GO WARRIORS!!!
I think the Honolulu Stadium clock was BULOVA.
Hey…D1 was a townie…but now sorta lives on da wesside by koakane….my sympathies for you D1…..BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA
d1shima for President! He can sing his States of the Union.
Let’s hope CO can keep it at this level. I was watching his highlight clips and braddah was GOIN’ OFF!
D1-was Beau your ghost writer? 😆 great bio and late congrats to you and the Mrs. for 25 yrs.
ST: your pictures are better than the ones on the HPD recovered stolen property line-up. 😀 You would think they would have CSI or EBay quality photos. Should be good deals at the auction if you want to upgrade your film or point and shoot camera.
sjmacro
<I think the Honolulu Stadium clock was BULOVA.
Koauka – sounds about right. i believe the clock was changed twice in the history of the stadium but i saw only one.
d1shima,
Awesome bio! I loved the frosty malts and boiled peanuts when I was a kid and would love them now too.
ST,
Thank you for the pictures and I enjoyed reading about the Warriors in today’s article. Would it be possible to get articles and photos after each of the MWF practices?
Did anyone get to hear the entire ST interview with Bobby Curran. Thought I heard some interesting comments the Warriors road travel plans.
Great bio d1!
ST, yeah, us Farrington folks don’t like the FHS=DMHS.
Dee-One/Dee-Only/Shima! Excellent bio, my friend.
I’m flattered to read Larry Arnold was a small kid hero of yours. He was my coach back in high school. Very humble, humorous man. Funny, back then we were clueless to his accomplishments. It wasn’t till Raphel Cherry began getting recognition to possibly being the all-time passer that Larry’s name started coming up in the news. We were like, “Whoa? Coach, das you dey talking about? You wuz one qwatabak for UH?”
Ohhhh….Larry Arnold….I read that as Larry Price…mwahahahahaha…
stacyj….actually, I think the name will soon change from DMHS to St. Damien HS…or St. Damien School since they now have 7th and 8th grades….of course, they were saying that when I was there but now that Father Damien is on the verge of sainthood, it may come to fruition….
*DPK is almost embarassed to admit he played in the Ole Termite Palace. Thass a longgggggg time ago.* 😳
DPK…don’t be embarassed…embrace your AARP status…mwahahahahah..j/k my friend…
okay gang have to go run errands…BBL
d1shima good thing you missed the bio deadline last year… wouldn’t know about your karaoke talent with pictures and video back then 🙂
A good bio from a quiet good samaritan!
d1……..only one word can describe your bio, “awwwwwww.”
d1…judging from the video. you were a lot skinnier and had such a sweet demeanor back then.
g-nalo…..
“line-ups, 10 cents! get your line-ups!”
that would be me. here i thought that you were younger than me.
no forget, chunky’s, all star drive inn, hisago’s, and stadium bowl-o-drome.
interestingly, a-house and i knew the grandkids of the “peanut lady”. we old or what?
I always loved the Teriyaki Plate at Chunky’s Drive Inn where the First Hawaiian Bank is now…miss the Teri-Beef and their Mac Salad, Shagging foul balls that left the Stadium, the impromtu drag racing on Isenburg Street, The Guri-Guri from the Drive Inn on King and Hausten…
D1, If you still had a program of UH vs. Pacific from your era, I bet you would see a minor assistant coach named Pete Carroll listed. It is ironic that yesterday I found a few Termite Palace photos of man child Mosiula Tatupu blasting through huge holes…didn’t see if it was DPK on defense.
Re: Jake Heun…anyone notice that his arms are larger than most UH Warriors thighs?
ST: What’s the scoops on the UH independent contractor paid performer’s son’s indication that he is a UH Warrior this year, not a PSU Viking?
d1 – great bio, thanks. btw – where’s the Termite Palace??
al: I’m getting old, so you’re getting old. 😉
kaimuki kid…..sounds like you grew up in moiilili.
chunky’s fav: beef cutlet gravy all over.
thanks jason.
I hope that d1shima doesn’t mind, but I did a couple of extra google searches in honor of his bio day. First article: Shawn Withy-Allen update!
The Washington Post’s report on the Redskins’ practice mentions Colt’s hip prevented him from practicing yesterday.
The Washington Times noted that Colt *did* participate in individual drills. I think that they didn’t even let him do that in their previous practices so this is an indication that Colt’s recovery is progressing!
Jacksonville discussion mentions Chad Owens. Interesting that they mentioned that his size was his problem and the punt drops were not mentioned.
g-nalo…..
“line-ups, 10 cents! get your line-ups!”
that would be me. here i thought that you were younger than me.
no forget, chunky’s, all star drive inn, hisago’s, and stadium bowl-o-drome.
hey now i AM younger than you, granted not by much. 🙂
don’t exactly remember when i first started going to ILH games, but i recall watching Elroy Chong, Russ Francis, Joe Story, Mufi Hanneman, etc.. players of that era.
i remember Pride granted he’s of a younger generation. maybe if i knew DPK’s real name, it might ring a bell?
btw – the football poses on the line-ups were always the same, the heisman pose.
I hate the way private schools unload students even at the last-minute zero-hour. I know someone who spent 12 years at Punahou, from Kindergarten on, and had to go to Roosevelt at the end because of “excessive” class cuts. The guy who showed no mercy later on had his own progeny busted for drugs, so bachi on him. Her story was that she was on the Mainland looking at prospective colleges as she had been encouraged to do. Anybody think they looked the other way when Michelle Wie cut class?
Chad Owens really put up some amazing stats yesterday and his team scored 65 points. So, I was surprised that the headline of this article credited the other team’s *defense* for beating Chad’s team.
Another article on Chad’s game.
Pat Hill testified yesterday in the trial of a former Fresno State player.
Article about one of Florida’s new coaches. I think he’s their DL coach.
Q&A with Boise State’s head coach. Kind of funny how they will be using shotgun more this season and UH will be using it less.
Colorado backed out of games with LSU and scheduled Fresno State instead.
Nice bio D1shima,
Enjoyed reading it. Congratulations on your sons graduation. I assume he will be playing ball at Linfield. The Wildcats take football very seriously as you probably know, Its a little school that plays a big brand of football. Enjoyed my years there. I’m sure he will too..
This Fantasy Football analyst tried to pick the best college football defense for fantasy football players this season. It is nice that he is worried about UH’s offense when discussing Oregon State’s defense.
james causing trouble again
g-nalo before your time maybe but next to stadium was buck’s bakery which sold sweet bread for only 80€ also the add on the clock was Melihm [sp] tires. anyone remember what was special about the clock.
kk yep chucky’s was good especially da burgers with the mustard/mayo sauce
The NY state auditor has a big problem with how Rutgers sent friends and family members to their bowl game in 2006. I wonder what that auditor would say if he saw the full Sugar Bowl list for UH…
crap g-nalo you brought up some names from the past
Joe Story qb from Kalani remember what he did and became know for?
This popped up on my standard UH google search.
Lunch hour over…
Great Bio D1… Well come to the “Tsaiko’s Bio Club” another one of the many “rights of passage”…
I think the Tsaiko “Have your karaoke song on youtube and plastered on the blog for everyone to see” Club is the hardest one to be a part of.
eh wreck long time no eyes? when going get together again? miss you and kama a bfast. aloha.
how do we get into this club?? do we have to be invited??
d1Shima,
Great Bio; I enjoyed reading it very much as it brought back a lot of memories for me. So from one Kalihi boy to another and fellow Farrington HS grads (albeit 20 years or so apart!)… Go GOVS!
And congrats to you and the Mrs. on your 25th anniversary. You folks did a great job in raising your two sons.
Thanks for sharing!
Just before my time at Kalani, but I had a lot of friends whose older brothers played with Joe Story. Joe Story was super quick and could cut really well but it was the fact putting on pads and gear did not slow him down one bit…He went on to become an Olympic Medalist in Team Handball
So that’s what d1shima looks like!
Awesome bio my pal! Happy upcoming 26th anniversary and much positive vibes to your #2 son as he takes one of life’s many journeys.
g-nalo – BTW, It’s “heanuts, hophorn, ships, hoke”.
Good morning all!
Stretch – Yep, you have to be invited.
Graunke does look like he put on some baby fat weight. No problem, eat the meats and hit the weight room.
Stretch – Didn’t gigi and DPK demand ST to have their 4+ page bio’s be posted on the blog?
so 4 pages is the record?? I wonder if anyone will break it??
mahalo D1,
good bio….hmmmm Wildcats, what a great name for a football team, haha. and purple at that…what is our world coming to? congratz on raising 2 very fine young gentlemen. with #1 coming home to teach and coach at his alma mater…that is full circle. #2 will make his impact to the world also upon his graduation from college.
good job, pat yourself on the back as you wipe the tears as #2 leaves for college….i have foregone the kleenex and paper towels, the house now has hanging chaomois cloths at every corner for me……. :):):)
what wonderful times, make memories, make memories.
bulla
in D1’s photo there are 2 handsome guyz in the background…it couldn’t be mel cabang and mel tormey? could it??? bettah get my glasses quick!
to make it clear,
the guy on the right just told me a real funny joke, i am not laughing at D1, i wish i could sing like him….like a japanese tom jones the way that guys croons….closest i come is knowing goons…like the other guy in the photo. haha
good job D1, to have that much hair and you can sing too!!!
ok,
playtime all by my lonesome, rbacks looking good, need more recievers if you have that many qb’s throwing the ball…hmmm
Stretch – SteveM posted notable Tsaiko’s, on his website, who do not have their bio’s posted yet I would say either A-Sports, UHfan808, or Midori7. Those 3 can just talk talk talk talk talk!
bulla….stop your sniveling right now!
your grandma would slap you on the bumbulla.
you said, “make memories”.
not, “make a__”
homey – agreed!!
i was gonna comment about the two guys in the background.
didn’t know koakane was a lefty or is he drinking two fisted?
bulla, take off that ear ring. no wonder you are a crybaby.
Bulla – ah, you’re use to playing with yourself.
homey, you sould know what d1shima looks like…you were both at the mini-muu at Makino’s when I was home in Feb.
Stretch, the “termite palace” was on So. King St. & Isenberg…down the street from where I lived next to the original Taniguchi Store & across the street from the old King’s Bakery. I have a video of the old stadium; my Dad’s in a picture on the video. No time to watch it to tell you what brand the clock was, tho…
Wow! d1shima has a personalized Tsaiko polo shirt!
MeiLing – That was him? He was wearing a hat and it threw me off. 😆
meiLing….you do realize that the stretch was just pulling our legs right?
and that homey, in fact, knows d1 very well. i believe d1 was a part of the entourage that escorted mr. crown royal home.
on another note…..you grew up next to taniguchi store???
darn, i worked there when i was a young teenager.
g-nalo – BTW, It’s “heanuts, hophorn, ships, hoke”.
haaaaaaa, ahhh stomach ache, good one Homey.
didn’t try to say it myself cause didn’t think anyone would catch it? plus, not wanting to tease……but come to think of it that guy WAS an institution?
MeiLing – Another reason I may have not noticed is because I had to keep my eye’s on A-Sports because she steals food from other plates.
g-nalo – That’s right! That guy was the epitome of stadium vendors everywhere. I think they should write a bud commercial for him…
Mr. Honolulu Stadium Heanut Vendor…
on another note…..you grew up next to taniguchi store???
darn, i worked there when i was a young teenager.
guess i shouldn’t be surprised, anything you DIDN’T do? 🙂
Golly al, you are sure quick to post that about me and Stretch yet too wimpy to post other things. BWAHAHAHAHAHA 😆
Sorry Mei Ling – since all the old futs were reminiscing about the Termite Palace, I thought I remind them that not all of us are as old as them, right Jason??!!??
al’s first surfboard was a koa plank.
Was anybody at Honolulu Stadium the night when George Naukana coached the Hawaii HS All Stars to victory over a California All Star team which featured Lynne Swann among it’s players?
DPK – is the Honolulu Stadium and Termite Palace the same place??
DPK – I think the heanut vendor was there.
Sorry Mei Ling – since all the old futs were reminiscing about the Termite Palace, I thought I remind them that not all of us are as old as them, right Jason??!!??
eh not bad…….can’t remember if i pulled my zipper up but i can remember things from the termite palace??!!
Stretch – no ack, if Jason is generation “X”, you’re somewhere near “Q”.
DPK, In the summer of ’71, my El Camino H.S. QB, Bob Glick, led the Calif team to a loss here. He said they stayed in a “crummy army barracks”. His career lasted only a few games after that…when our UCLA Frosh team played him at Stanford in Oct ’71 we sort of put him out of the game for evah. I think Lynn Swann must have been the year before, ’70?
Remember how they had guys in little cubby holes on the back of the score board who changed the numbers on the board by hand?
Homes, my friend-
Are you spreading rumors about me? How do you know it’s not you with a klepto-food complex. Bwahahaha.
Al-
Koakane throws darts with his right while lifting bottle with the left.
d1-
Thanks for the bio! You shared a lot.
One more thing to add about d1shima.
He and XLiz sang an awesome duet rendition of a song from the Phantom of the Opera soundtrack. It brought tears to Kekoa’s eyes and a standing ovation from the audience.
G-nalo/Homey,
I remember that guy; used to see him around Hall Street/Kukui Street. Peanut vendor was there every game….rain or shine; she must’ve made a fortune…
Al, so you newspaper boys used to sneak in the Stadium after you sold all your papers , eh? Yeah, Chunky’s DI made a lot of us chunky too… 🙂
A-Sports – Not spreading rumors, just warnings for the unsuspecting CC participants. DPK was a victim too.
Barry:
Here’s the dealio. Last week, the parents/player asked if the player could join the team. The only opening is as a walk-on, to join on Aug. 25.
However, the player may or may not have signed a scholarship agreement with the Portland State. Those agreements are not binding on the player’s part.
Great bio, D1.?
Mahalo to Pomai for helping out with getting into the tsaiko.com website to look at earlier bios.
My memories of the Stadium include Chunky’s Drive-In, the peanuts, the beer, the hot dogs, and the Frosty Malts. Today, a pale imitation is available from Carnation at various stores and Les Murakami Stadium – it may also be available at the Stan Sheriff Center, but I’ve never bought it there. I always get the Dipping Dots during games there..
My fondest memory, however, is sitting through a Turkey Day game in the heaviest non-hurricane rainstorm I’ve ever experienced back in the late 1960s. The teams were unrecognizable within minutes.
Look forward to other bios over the next several weeks.
G-nalo/Homey,
I remember that guy; used to see him around Hall Street/Kukui Street. Peanut vendor was there every game….rain or shine; she must’ve made a fortune…
i recall a peanut ‘stand’ but not sure if there was more than one? was this peanut vendor was on the mauka side of King St., near the shave ice shop, diamond head side?
btw – ‘dried’ boiled peanuts…..hmmmm
BTW, First Hawaiian Bank has some memorabilia from the old Termite Palace…
Barry,
You may be right. Like I said, that was a longggggg time ago. BTW I wasn’t a defensive player so much, so I only had one chance to meet Mosi in a hole to try and tackle him. I’m still in therapy. The ILH had a ton ‘o great players that year. Lots of future NFLers from various teams that year. I played on special teams, mostly.
Homey-
WAT! I did not lay a hand on, in or near-the-vicinity-of DPK’s plate. You are makin’ that up.
I was very good at last cc. I was forced to pay attention to my food for fear of burning my kalbi and smoking out the place.
The peanut guy’s name is/was Howard.
He lives/lived in the senior complex on Kinau/Piikoi.
Nice guy.
sorry to keep going but one last memory…………the Termite Palace was bench seating (except for the grand stands) and we always sat in the Ewa end zone, about smack dab middle.
during big games everyone had to SQUEEZE in tight cheek to cheek, the worse “squeeze” i recall is when UH played Grambling.
g-nalo……growing in the transitional period of tom sawyer-like adventures to color tv. us poor kids, did a lot of stuff that was free or we could make a dime off of.
and no, my first surfboard was not a koa plank. i did make my own “paipo boards” and my first board was a velzy w/the 4″ rails weighing more than me.
D1
“Awe-right on!” What a great story of a tsolid Tsaiko…like granite, man. One of my heroes. Can see that the boys haven’t fallen far from the tree! Can tell they’re the real treasures for the ole man 😀
BTW, my classmate (and Marauder), John Sadowski went to Linfield and represented well. I think his brother also went there and played with Linfield at the Termite Palace.
Anyways, D1, loved reading your stuff!
d1shima:
great bio, but you left out the “college” part of your life on the East Coast
“The Halls of Ivy, The Halls of Ivy”
O’ we love the halls of ivy, where we lived and learned to grow”
that vendor was called, “tiger”. he was a custodian at kaimuki hs for years later on. i believe he retired about years ago.
i grew up next to the stadium. sold papers and once got to flip the scoreboard for an islander game when the guy didn’t show up. i knew the hunched caretaker of the stadium who actually had a little cottage next to bathroom by the rear entrance.
Stretch,
Yes.
homey,
He was at everygame, I think. I remember how he would finish early some games and then he would come sit in the stands with his vendor shirt pulled out and his vendor hat in his back pocket. And braddah had no problem cheering at full volume. Naturally everybody’s ears were tuned to his voice, so when he cheered, everybody turned to listen.
busted.
ST:
Your pictures are “da bomb” – certainly lends a great artistic/photogenic take to this blog.
Mrs A-House is the family photographer whose pictures are always centered – not like mine which is always “off-center” for whatever reason.
BTW, any word from Coach Mack on what color shirts he wants us Hawaii fans to wear at The Swamp?
“every game” I meant.
thats right his name was howard. he was japanese.
al:
beside knowing the “peanut lady”, I would sneak over to Chunk’s to spark the owners daughter!!
nah, only joking – she’s much to young and married someone who became a very good friend.
al,
busted?
homey!!
shame on you for spreading rumors about A-Sports stealing food off the grill.
i will vouch that she does not do such things that a “homey” would do!!
har har de har!!!
g-nalo,
your right he was dea a long time. I think homey was on of da keeds that would call to him from way on top of stands. he would walk up and the dey would ask “eh you get manapua” small bwhaaa.
ST, Mahalo, glad to hear that the independent contractor paid performer’s son got all the academic transfer stuff in order to help reinforce the UH Warrior’s O-line. Glad to see a kid give up a full ride football scholarship to Portland State University to add depth to our Warriors.
…and homey has one too, being one of the first bloggers here. I’ll get it to him at one of the next Cattle Calls if I can .
…and we really have a blogger named “El Guapo” who has been posting since last summer.
dpk having dinner this weekend with unc george. I rememba dat game. think qb was blaine gaison
Wow Homey got a shirt… Now you have to use it while singing karaoke…
A-House-
Thanks for the support. Homey seems to forget that you were sitting right across me and we were all having a perfect dining experience. Far different from the other end of the table, loud and boisterous if I recall.
ST-
I’m glad you started up the bios again. I really enjoy reading them.
Interesting to see how all the Oahu peeps remember these things. Things sure were different on Kauai. The only “institution” I recall was the akule man. Haha.
WassupDoc- I remember that storm. I moved to Kauai with a hubby, bro-in-law and 9 mo. old daughter and $200 in November of ’69. A week later, it started raining. And it rained for 2 weeks straight. Talk about culture shock and wanting to go back to the mainland! No tv, no going to the beach, no car, just holed up in a concrete house with those other 3 people for 2 weeks. Some people would bring us groceries and make sure we were alive.
I made it. The other 3 moved back to the mainland eventually
…and Wreck got a shirt too…without having to sing karaoke since he is one of the original caricatures on the Tsai-ko Cartoon. 🙂
Whao… I was sitting on the “loud and boisterous” side… and i’ll tell you one thing…
… … … A-sports keep taking our food after she threaten to “smoke” us. After that we were like “take all the food you want”… “we’ll even have jojo show you how to role the meat in the lettuce leaf if you like but please don’t smoke us.”
thanks Steve.
Sports- we get Uncle Louis, da mayor of Salt Pond; Mr. B- at KCC with the rug of the day; and Waimea still has “Nuts-o-What” – boiled peanuts and various crack seed varieties.
My neighbor might have enough taro so I can bring kulolo again to the Ronnie and Rich Call!
g-nalo
I was at the grambling game. full stadium but wasn’t for the game many came foa see the band. and dey neva disappoint.
golden richards was supposed to keep UH in game but broke leg after kick off to start game. also had one haole boy playing for grambling who finally got into game after dey up by uku million points.
when did the palace close?
Clarification:
I was writing about food stealing at Makino’s…
DPK was a victim at another CC, the one at Ward Warehouse. A-Sports was not involved in that one.
Stacyj,
The termites let go their hands in ’76… 😉
Wreck-
Whoops, sorry. I didn’t direct that at you…directly……uh……..yeah. Besides, I threatened no one that day. I was on my best behavior since the A-Houses were in the house.
LizK-
Mr. B? (whose mom had a shop in Kekaha?) or is it someone else. Rug of the day?
Kulolo. Yum yum!
hi homes! Someday I will get to go to one of those kalbi-kalls. Sounds soooo good – especially at da lunch owwa. I had too much for breakfast so I’m having a healthy nut bar for lunch.
yah, and i got one shirt too. too bad you guys missed my encore singing debut last week. it was a once in a lifetime experience never to happen again.
kk you get A+ for remembering JStory.
any one answered the clock question?
I thought you were talking about the Camilia’s CC… Was I sitting on the same table at Makino’s? I think I was…?
hey, koakane:
me and Mrs A-House was at that game too!! – makai/ewa sidelines, 40 yd line about 15 rows up.
remember how they entered the playing field?? all that music, but no one in sight until they broke from the DH makai entrance – loved that band!
an den tey wen bus our okoles.
several years ago, UH tried to get the band to perform on the way back from Japan, but Grambling wanted a $250-300K guarantee.
Homey-
You see what you started.
SteveM – Thanks too!
Wreck – I would sing but every KC I’ve been to I had laryngitis.
A-Sports – AKA food klepto.
Tsaikos: Koakane got memory yet. See picture of termite palace clock taken from Art Suehiro’s 1995 book Honolulu Stadium, where Hawaii played. Stadium shut down in 1975. University branch of First Hawaiian Bank has a mural inside showing some of the stadium’s history. One of the employees there points out her dad as one of the stock car racers back in the day.

No Problem A-Sports… Just taking a page from Stretch’s book and instigating…
Thanks LTUHF! I only have memories of going to Farrington football game at the Stadium and various HS fields as a young kid. I probably wen to the palace as a baby but no memories. Bummer.
Sports- yes, THAT Mr. B. You nevvah watch him adjusting his rug? My college-attending family members would always joke about how he would get excited and his rug would start to slip.
He’s gonna be talking to my R. Club tonight – I, otoh, will be at anodda dress rehearsal.
Wreck:
A-Sports was on your table at Makinos with homey, d1shima, & Mrs A-House.
cool pic, sj! KGU – Aku … memories!
g-nalo
I was at the grambling game. full stadium but wasn’t for the game many came foa see the band. and dey neva disappoint.
golden richards was supposed to keep UH in game but broke leg after kick off to start game. also had one haole boy playing for grambling who finally got into game after dey up by uku million points.
oh yeah thats right. back then their band was a huge deal and yep, they didn’t disappoint. they had a lot of members and it LOOKED like they filled the entire field, to me anyway.
earlier i couldn’t think of their big name player but now think it was Gary “big hands” Johnson, the defensive tackle.
you have a good memory, i NOW recall the haole boy geting in but don’t remember the Golden Richards injury? hoooiee also true, they wen bus us up la dat.
yep Ahouse they came out high stepping which is common today but was a new routine back den.
hello Mrs.Ahouse how you?
Hello there XLiz… 8)
Koakane,
The Melim tire scoreboard clock’s second hand, went from 12 to 6 faster than from 6 to 12 but still made one minute… 😉
al- no ak…You gotta keep singing. We are all practicing our backup parts to Funky Cold Medina. I can hear A-Joe’s pen-waterglass percussion every time I think of that song! 😈
Clock was topped by Bulova; scoreboard by General Tire with Melim below. Picture taken in 1962 game Kamehameha 40-Kalani 0. sjmacro
A-Sports – Why do I always get accused of starting things?
Oh had ewa endzone season tickets in middle section about ¾ up. when they built new stadium just asked for seats similar to what had at old place. the ticket lady said to change because there will be a beeg sony tron score board. so changed to south endzone if not for her be sitting in north side to this day.
Ahouse rememba what your tickets cost back den?
“A-Sports – Why do I always get accused of starting things?”
Bwahahahaha!!!!!
ok- hiho.
LizK-
Oh…rug…I get it. Hehehe. I took a class from him. I guess we didn’t get him excited enough.
Wreck-
At Makino’s, we sat next to each other. And I will vouch for you (so you betta vouch for me) that we were all good boys and girls. Homey, besides being a food klepto, has temporary bouts of amnesia.
Thanks A-House… I thought so. Mrs. A-House is such a joy to have sitting at the same table. She ask some of the toughest questions to answer so nicely… I like watching other Tsaikos try and answer… I remember she was asking what does “ROTFLMFAO” stand for.
Those were the times where kids could be kids and no grouchy stadium wannabe security guards would bother you.
Another A-Sports factoid…she loves tentacles.
Best person to sit next to at Camellia CC is Jason; he doesn’t eat much and doesn’t mind cooking the meat for you… 😉
I don’t recall Mrs. A-House asking me anything.
LizK-
(#189) I couldn’t have said it better myself.
I was too busy guarding my fuud.
Mrs. A-House is da bomb; good fun lady to sit next to; great conversationalist but da hubby whoa no even mention the former UHAD name…hahaha … j/k A-House 😉
LTUH – Worse person is DPK. Four people share a burner, supposedly 1/4 portion of the grill per person, but NO, DPK takes 1/2 and the other 3 gotta scramble and figure out what 1/2 divided by 3 looks like.
Okay, this cold I have is kicking my okole. I’m sick as a dog today (no offense, Beau). Gotta step out to get some cold relief before this throbbing in my head renders me entirely useless and will no longer be able to blog…or even lurk.
See ya guys and gals.
Homey, not talk stink or spread any more rumors about me while I’m gone, eh. The A-Houses are watching….
ltuhf get da golden pineapple.
if you loosing get plenty time to catch up but if winning thinking dam dat clock slow. going up slow but going down moved fast bwhaaaaaaaaa.
ltuhf can swear some teams that pulled comebacks had xtra time
sjmacro thanks for da picha bring back good memories.
Koakane…
LOL, Farrington nevah have chance for make comeback in my days 😉
LTUHF- hoo boy! ‘as right. If the party is slowing down and needs a little pick-me-up, just whisper “HF” or accidentally mention something about fumbling and Mr. A-House will pick it up a few notches!
Mrs. A-House is a natural hostess. She makes everyone feel at home instantly. Just ask Merv!
btw- Merv is carrying on the aloha spirit with his Sunday School class. Whadda cool guy!
Addahknowsports get betta patna we got to defend at darts this weekend.
Gigi & Jason, another house burning down in your hood now. Too much flame on the BBQ, eh?
Homey,
Thanks for the heads up on DPK… 😉 But I’d still like to meet DPK at one of these CC’s…he’s one of Tsaikos I haven’t met yet…
whew going from building to building or room to room to lurk and post is hard but betta than getting wacked on head.
Hi LizKauai,
Yeah I know; but that is an awesome couple–the A-Houses –and their daughter too!
Hope all is well on the Garden Isle!
homey is right about DPK…one time me, wreck, homey, and DPK had to share one burner…homey, wreck, and I had food all piled on one side while DPK had control of the other half….mWAHAHAHAHAHHA
LTUHF – back in the late 60’s or early ’70’s there was a really good RB from Farrington? i think he had a samoan name but don’t think it was Tanuvasa? believe Tanuvasa came later on or AM i thinking of him?
for some reason i also remember this tough LB named Arthur Trout, does it ring a bell?
A-Sports
Take care; try Chinese home remedy… a shot of scotch with honey and lemon juice…
G-nalo,
You may be thinking of Onosai Tanuvasa…great Farrington RB. He was bigger than some of FHS OL…set rushing records before the public schools split from the ILH to join the OIA.
C’mon Adam and Tyler, get back to work already! 😉
The running game is gonna be one of Hawaii’s secret weapons this year. Btw, I fuzzily remember hearing during a JJ call the coach show or something that there’s some local guy that teaches a running back summer camp. If there is one, are LWJ and Heun in it?
LTUHF – I think Midori7 took the best from both worlds.
Kauai- well, it looks good outside my window. Someone drove a truck into a store in Koloa, tho. Sounds like brake failure but luckily no one died!
Hiho!
ltuhf you were going to school when my cousin was playing for dem … he is Jim Kalili. he went on to UH and made all american his senior year. played against this consensus all american dlinemen from Univ of Calif named ed white [i think] … jimmy boy kicked his but all night. talk about represent. actually felt sorry for dat guy cause papas only write how bad this dude was and jim only got peed off as the week went by.
oddah bruddah’s you might rememba that I know….kauai brother, tcollier, wrodigues, lkent
James – I think it was Darren and not Wreck. Wreck ran away and sat with Stretch.
Great bio d1, sedate, witty and classy the anti-las vegas.
I remember Uncle Gil buying me boiled peanuts at the termite palace around 1974 or so, I tried to throw it away as I thought it was spoiled.
first time I had it.
Once a month mom would drag me to the Civic arena to see Ripper Collins, Sammy (Mokuahi) Steamboat and Curtis the Bull bleed all over the ring.
Boiled peanut lady was outside there too.
Mrs las vegas has fond memories of Chunkys too, cheeseburger, fries and a coke for fifty cents, hmmm she must be old.
d1shima also wears a scarf under his polo shirt.
Thanks, LTUH-
I will definitely consider your remedy (as I blog with my head down on the desk).
Koakane, my patnah-
I will try my best to recover for this weekend. No promises, though. Feels like someone is squeezing my head. And no can hear in right ear.
Bulla’s shadow on the wall in the d1shima photo looks like Uncle Fester.
Koakane,
Thanks, but I’m older than that…’55 FHS grad…but followed alma mater throughout the years off and on and in between UH football. But those names ring a bell, especially Stan Cadiente the QB who led FHS to their only ILH championship ! Leslie Kent played two ways back in the day…great athlete!
Homey,
Wonder what happens when you put a lightbulb in Bulla’s mouth?
Will it light up like Fester?
I always wonder when people say stuff like “Feels like someone is squeezing my head” or “Feels like someone stabbed me in the stomach” did they actually have someone squeeze their head or got stabbed on the stomach?
g-nalo yep govs had a running back named Tanuvasa think his fname was Onosai like Joe from Pac5 and UH.
my step dad’s good friend son played with him and latter became and AD…. Gordon Miyashiro. yep same one who married the UH Vball [forget name] player who on one of shoji’s championship teams and daughter was good vball at Kalani.
lv – Knowing Bulla he’ll put it in the wrong end.
Hi Las Vegas,
My other wrestling favorites used to be Handsome Johnny Barend, the Missing Link, Billy Whitewolf, Sakata and Fujiwara…
g-nalo my bad you thinking of Bob Apisa who went to MSU and had great career. went with cwedemyer and dkenny hella of a counselor at PC.
koakane – Joey Akeo?
Homey is right… That time I bailed Stretch out and gave up my seat. Just like the bus, you need to give up your seat to accomadate other people. Too bad the trick never work. Homey took the whole side to himself… LMAO!!!
LTUH,
Don’t forget Chief Wahoo McDaniel and Mad Dog Mayne.
Also Haystack Calhoun and Cowboy Bob Orton.
Koakane..
Tamari Miyashiro
Wreck – When Darren came I invited him over. I’m a nice guy li’ dat. 😈
kokane:
dang, that’s a good question – we were blue, mauka, nn, row 39, seats 14-16 – I think it was 3 seats for under $200 for the season.
i remember that was the first season that we took Midori7 with us and the rest is history – she knows more stuff that I do.
homey and ltuhf thanks sometimes running from here to there oxygen to da brain cuts off. plus only one cell fully working. bwhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
I believe Arthur Trout played in 1974-75 and I think he played for Kailua if I am not mistaken. A little fuzzy about the details. Onosai played for Farrington at the same time Bubba Kreutz (Mr. Inside) Joe Story (Mr. Outside) played for Kalani, the only year that they had even a semi-decent Football Team. Anybody remember Rodney Loo basketball player for Kalani 1974-76
g-nalo my bad you thinking of Bob Apisa who went to MSU and had great career. went with cwedemyer and dkenny hella of a counselor at PC.
whoa Koakane, i’m old but not Al old. haaaa
ok guess it was Onosai Tanuvasa then, was thinking there was somebody else but all mixed up. other top RB’s back ….Ed Kini and Arnold Morgado.
Las Vegas,
I remember you telling me you met Golden Richards in Vegas; I don’t recall what he was doing at that time…
koakane – you heard of survival of the fittest where the strongest eliminates the weakest thus making the herd or whole stronger, well drinking alcohol gets rid of the weakest brain cells and in turn makes your brain stronger! 😆
Therefore, have another one.
BTW, little spreader of gossip and falsehoods, my Bio is exactly one page and one paragraph in MS Word. By what devilish and ill willed logic do you claim it was four pages?
DPK – If you perused the blog you would have noticed I wrote that you was a victim at the place in Ward Warehouse and NOT at a Camellia CC. 😛
Homey,
Here is a beer quote for you…
Sometimes when I reflect on all the beer I drink, I feel ashamed. Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery and all of their hopes and dreams. If I didn’t drink this beer, they might be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. I think, “It is better to drink this beer and let their dreams come true than be selfish and worry about my liver.”
— Babe Ruth
homey/Wreck…you guys is right…almost forgot about the bus incident…and it was darren who came over at Wreck graciously helped Stretch from under the bus…..mwahahahahahahahaha
DPK – I refuse to reveal my sources but as you can see who was I writing to?
Mere semantics forked tounge guy. *sniff* It hurts so much to see you carrying on like this. What ever happened to my “lil buddy”?
Homey,
Here’s another one for you. Can’t find one on CR tho’…sorry. 😉
When we drink, we get drunk. When we get drunk, we fall asleep. When we fall asleep, we commit no sin. When we commit no sin, we go to heaven. So, let’s all get drunk and go to heaven!
— George Bernard Shaw
All you old futs, please talk about current players, I want to join in this conversation. I don’t know many of the names you guys are bringing up. To show how old you guys are, I used to play football with Onosai Tanuvasa’s son. I am the next generation!!
LTUHF/homey/koakane….another beer quote…
“Beer is living proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.”
– Benjamin Franklin
LTUH,
I hope it was him, thats what he claimed.
As I recall, he said he ran a rural youth camp or wilderness lodge in the Pacific north west.
Sorry details that are not Fuud become fuzzy pretty quickly.
I do recall that he enjoyed Mrs lv’s spam musubi so much that he offered to buy her a beer.
He gave her 10 bucks to buy two beers, one for him, one for her.
Only thing, beer cost 7 bucks, Mrs lv still had to shell out 4 dollars, we still laugh about that one.
Hey…da skipper is back….Mary Ann…??? Mary Ann??? where are you???
homey me think my herd of brain cells might be down to only one because of all da imbibing. 🙄
DPK – BWAHAHAHAHAHA! 😆
AWH – What you? Generation Y? Everything is me, me, me, I, I , I. Learn to accept all as they are. 😉
Thanks for the beer quotes!
koakane – No worry, cell division is at work. Tomorrow, you’ll have 2 brain cells.
Las Vegas,
That’s a good one!
homey – I feel left out of this conversation when people talk about things that I can’t participate in. I want to be part of this group but not sure how to be part of it.
James if this is true we must be his choosen or favorites
bwhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
homey – I feel left out of this conversation when people talk about things that I can’t participate in. I want to be part of this group but not sure how to be accepted.

Who you calling Skipper?
Ok, I’m fat and yeah, I play with my “little buddy” a lot.
I’ve even gone down a few times during a three hour tour, but Skipper?
AWH – Just post what comes to your mind and hopefully people will jump in and make comments! ta-da!
sticks and stones may break my bones,
but names will tick me off
fester? c’mon, that’s coming from Mr. Checkers himself, haha
AWH:
flow with the tide as they will eventualy update themselves to mor current players from Hawaii.
sometimes being a good listener is better that having diarrah of the mouth
on review of post 259, possible smuu may occur
AWH , just chime in with whatever… like Joe Onosai lived in Kalihi and I was hoping he would go to FHS but instead he went to Pac-Five…
Clarification:
Onosai went to UH Lab School and played for Pac-Five…
Bulla,
Fester is not all that bad, granted not as modern as Shrek.
But much better than George “the Animal” Steele or Dr. Evil
Does anyone remember how a Popolo RB from Radford named Himmer Henry came on the scene and brought RHS to prominence in Coach Velasco’s 1st year. in a huge Championship game between OIA/ILH. Guess who won that one and shocked people??
Radford also had a kid named Jackie Disher, and another named Lefty Salomon that set a few receiving records for RHS that 1st year. These are guys I played sandlot tackle with, no equipment on Sundays in our backyard. Bob Apisa, Deroy & Leroy Lavatai were also part of our crew. There were some competitive pickup games in baseball with this same group, and we also played American Legion baseball on opposing teams in more organized travel leagues.
I believe Arthur Trout played in 1974-75 and I think he played for Kailua if I am not mistaken. A little fuzzy about the details. Onosai played for Farrington at the same time Bubba Kreutz (Mr. Inside) Joe Story (Mr. Outside) played for Kalani, the only year that they had even a semi-decent Football Team. Anybody remember Rodney Loo basketball player for Kalani 1974-76
Trout was Farrington, the most notable Kailua name was Russ Francis.
“cool hand ” Loo?
Sorry gang…let me cut in line dis one time!
Kekoa…check your aol
And now we continue with our afternoon programing… 😀
Kekoa – I guess an upgrade of equipment in your days would be leather helmets.
😆
AHW no scared just chime in with your time. we probably know dem or even da parents. and no forget one day you going become one old fut like us 😀
Did you know that Handsome Johnny Barend is still married to the local gal. He had that wedding ceremony in the ring at the Old Civic. He lives in upper state New York.
AWH- no worries. I attended my first live college FB game less than 1 year ago. Termite Palace is just a picture in my memory.
Just talk about what you want to talk about.
When was the Ward Warehouse Cattle Call? Even though I usually cannot make them, I know about them. Isn’t there an all-you-can-eat buffet for $10 or $12 there? Is that the one?
OFF SPORTS TOPIC: Does anyone here have a 3/4″ video tapedeck in working condition who would be able to lend it to us for several weeks as we transfer obout 80 hrs of finished shows to DVD before the tapes completely dissolve. If you do, we would be willing to make a contribution to Koa Anuenue in your name for whatever UH sports program you wish.
Sony Hawaii says that they’ll quote look at our tape deck unquote but there are no parts available to fix it.
For the next several months, we’ll also be transfering about 100 hours of raw HI-8 footage as well about 80 hours of VHS to DVDs. After that’s completed, then we’ll transfer about 100 hours of classic rock audio cassette tapes to CDs.
Hope those of you dealing with The Internet Cold are feeling better.Mine should be gone by tomorrow.
dpk I really nokea because long ago wen learn to live and love life instead of having huge log on da shoulder. to much scrap in younga days and trying to hard earning a career. now my time to enjoy beside getting olda moa akamai and I kinda resemble some of those beer quotes. 😉
appreciate da back up
Here it is June already and no call from UH for season tickets yet! Kekoa, are you reading this!
AWH – just talk fast cause old futs forget quickly.
by chance, you from Damien HS? hehe
bulla got to agree with you we make d1 look good in the picha. bhwaaaaaaaaaaa
kalihi well represented upper campus khs, middle camus dmhs and lower campus fhs 😆
Helmets?…we didn’t need any stinkin’ helmets! Nah, even up at KS heights, in intramurals…some of the helmets had no face bars, and there you were in full pads with no football shoes. Right Pride? DPK?
BG – I checked my email box, no letter from the Old Soldeir’s home, so I’m free for another month. Why did you hear from them?
g-nalo instigator rubbing off on you bruddah bwhaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
whoa treasure of sierra madre quote.
kden kekoa bogart
Ho, da mammaries…(wonder if this will make it past the censors?)
al, we gotta talk story about the old days at the Taniguchi Store!
LTUHF, my grandparents, Mom, her bro. & sis, lived on Hall Street. I remember the old man coming down the lane selling manapua. And I have this memory of a saimin stand that was just a long plank counter with benches on the street side. My Mom graduated from Farrington!
Glad to see that Tyler is pulling it together academically to remain eligible. It’s going to be a grand summer to hear about how all of the players are doing. I haven’t seen many of our players on campus yet, but summer school just started this week. UH guys are motivated!
IMUA WARRIORS!
“Drinking beer doesn’t make you fat, It makes you lean….
Against bars, tables, chairs, and poles.”
g-nalo instigator rubbing off on you bruddah bwhaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
YIKES!!!!!!
nooooo, not that………..not the Instigator………..ahhhhhhhhhhh
thanks for the insight from everyone. how about these cattle calls. are they open to anyone or are they BIO??
Mei Ling,
I used to live by Mun Lun School but my cousins lived on Hall Street. Back in those days there used to be a lot of “gangs”..Like Buckle Lane Gang, Palama Gang, etc. and where Mayor Wright Housing is now used to be a vacant lot full of mango trees. I remember a saimin stand there on Hall Street that served ono kine saimin 🙂
Manapua man used to call out “Manapua” and it was only a nickel back then. But no more nickel… Wow…am I old or what…
What year did your mom grad from FHS? If in mid 50’s I might know her…
Go Jr. Bows! Go PacFive! I’m from the late 70’s/early 80’s era.
For any lurkers who are Jr. Bow alums, the annual ULSAA dinner coming up Jul 5. Free fuud!
Capitol-ist – do you know if the College of Ed building got funded this past session? The one to replace the old Lab School building that burned down.
Prayers for the Wilton family!!
AWH – What is BIO? Something like same sex marriage?
jm2375 – I am a UHS alumni, little bit after you.
meiling you not talking about da famous Hall saimin place. ohhhhhhhhhh was da bestest for long time.
homey
BIO – Because I’m Owed (the opportunity)
Kekoa…wen run back to my Outlook to check…nothing bounced back. Wen send about 3 msgs????? To Kekoa22. NG said “no can”. But, area x said get tents. Whole 29th bde going be dere, but they still get aloha. Talk mo tonite on land line when I get home.
let’s get this straight once and for all!!!
a cattle call is open to the public and are announced on the blog.
a mini call happens when someone invites a friend or two for lunch and it may just so happen that he/she is a tsaiko or not.
one does not make a public invitation to every event that a person has just because they are tsaiko’s.
….nuff said!
al- sheesh, no need get your panties in a bunch, I was just asking a question.
my heartfelt condolences to the wilton family in their hour of grief.
while we were discussing onosai tanuvasa as one of the great fullbacks at farrington hs. he also played at the university of hawaii. he founded the moanalua pop warner program in the 80’s and later coached at pearl city hs. sadly, onosai passed away at the age of 52 some four years ago.
al – thanks for clarifying
how come the posts from BG & koakane are shown at 421 & 422 pm when they were posted about 400pm?? Now, all the current posts are being placed at the more correct time in front of them?? Something not right with the blog.
Al,
You still wear panties?
And all bunched up too?
Almost time fo’ depends.
aloha to wilton ohana
awh…..i am just clarify some things that others seem to be crying about. not necessarily directed at you, after all you are a newcomer.
for the record though….
the cattle call at ward warehouse sometime last year was announced on the blog and some 15 people showed up. yes, at this event at buffet 100, everytime dpk went up to get more food, which happened like 5-6 times. someone at the table borrowed some of his food. it was hilarious no doubt.
but all done in fun. besides we may have saved him from gaining an additional 5-6 pounds.
Auwe!
Condolences from the heart to Coach Wilton and his family on the tragic passing of his mom.
my deepest condolences to the Wilton family.
my condolences to the Wilton family for their loss.
al,
thanks for the clarification…now i know why i do what i do, oh great and wise one….
i do remember some nimble chopsticks removing succulent morsels of decadence from DPK’s overloaded plate. what a sacrifice to make, to partake in that person’s selected items in an ongoing effort to help him live longer……first that, now Obama gets confirmation…..what a day :):)
the most hilarious thing about it is that I don’t think DPK knew about people taking his food until RIGHT NOW!!!
oh, and dpk had no idea.
and i owe him at least two salt n pepper shrimp and one piece roast duck.
so, what is your tally?
bulla
stretch
homey
pride
So sorry to hear about coach Wilton’s Mom. Our aloha goes out to him & his ‘ohana.
LTUHF, my Mom graduated ’51. Her sister graduated from McKinley in the mid-fifties, I think, & SteveM might know who she is. I remember running out to the street to buy manapua, & hearing him call out as he came by. I also remember waking up to roosters crowing somewhere in the neighborhood. I went to Mun Lun school just for a couple of summers.
koakane, I have this picture in my mind’s eye of the saimin stand. Being a little kid, sitting on the stool or bench & watching the people cook. Yup, ono saimin! I have a few pictures of Hall Street.
BG – Rajah!…wilco…out here.
For the rest of you civilians, that there’s miltary industrial complex talk meaning can do easy, but must meet compliance measures for that particular project, and there’s nothing more to add.
that thilly thleuth knew all along what you thilly wabbits were doing to him, but being the thuper fwunny guy he ith, he juth let you do what you were doing to make everyone at the table a happy camper.
that ith why dpk thould be the nexth guvernah
For those who may have missed it, you can see all of the Previous Bio’s here
dpk didn’t know
al,
i will give him back all of the lemon/orange chicken i had….but pride had more
I unfortunately didn’t take anything. I was too busy laughing my arse off the whole time. If I recall correctly, he thought we were laughing about his UH WAC Champs hat??
meiling
did you live next to lena machado?
above ebisuya caterers?
or next to the torikawa’s?
everyone should only discuss things that everyone can comment on, it’s like you have your own private group in this public arena, not welcoming at all.
Stretch,
watch out for the lightning…….
stretch….for an old guy you sure have a great memory.
bulla, no lie, you had more than that and you started it.
i wonder if he will be like us and make sure to eat all his food one plate at a time.
AWHnot,
it’s knot what you think sometimes, but watt knot to think that intrigues others around you
am I not welcome here so someone uses my name with a “not”??
Geeze AWH not,
Stop whining and bring something to the blog, if it’s interesting, someone will comment
Coach Wilton, my deepest condolences for the loss of your dear mother. My mom is still fresh in my memory as she passed just a little over one year ago at age 81. I feel your pain. May God bless.
Al, oh wise and misguided one,
let us not distribute the blame entirely upon my ever so capable shoulders…i agree that i am guilty as charged, but there were others. ask not what they will do for me, but instead how fast can they run?
either way, truth be told, it was because of that hat that we borrowed his delectable items….
is that better? kum bah ya…..kum bah ya…….what a wonderful world…..
Mei Ling,
Sorry, your mom grad FHS when I was still at Central trying to fight off the guys trying to hi-jack my lunch money… 😉 But I know quite a few McKinley High School ’55 grads..
Do remember the bath house on Hall Street or Tominaga Grocery Store or the pool hall right around the bend on Kukui and Hall Street; that’s where my cousins lived. Would be nice to see those old Hall Street pix…
We used to go watch the games at Palama Settlement barefoot league; those were some tough guys…
Unfortunately I didn’t attend Mun Lun School as we had a paper route at that time. No time to learn Chinese; too bad as I wish I had taken some Cantonese when I visited Hong Kong…
LV,
how hot is vegas right now…starting to heat up in honolulu, much to the enjoyment of HECO…..bloodsuckers if you ask me…..ouch.
awh….no problem leave your email here and we’ll keep you in the loop.
for example, there is a huge welcoming party for rich2176 and ronnie our cali tsaikos. it started as a mere cattle call. but, rich likes to sing and wanted a cattle/karaoke call. since he golfs during the day the event switched over in to the hands of the karaoke master caller, stevem.
rest assured it has been well publicized here daily.
Al,
either you or homey wee looking for the chopsticks with the ‘extensions’, what started out as innocent 10″ chopsticks, have extensions up to 24″, now that is planning….big time…..envy you guys who got the small one that turns into the big one with the flic of a switch….lucky !!!
Bulla,
96 at the airport, 103 in the real world yesterday.
Can tell when LV heats up, all the big rigs start shedding their recaps on the freeway
What a nice way to start lurking today…by reading D1Shima’s from-the-heart bio. I did as I was told, started with “HI D1 !” and actually found myself saying “awwww” so often, without additional prompting. Thanks for sharing your life’s story, D-1. You are indeed blessed to have a lovely wife and two splendid sons, both of whom are winners at what they have thus far accomplished. Good luck to both as they continue to live their dreams.
Really looking forward to bios from Midori&, UHFan808, Stretch and all the rest who are patiently waiting to be “invited” to share their story.
Koakane, LizK, LTUHF, Wreck, for the kind words about me and the A-House Ohana…Mahalo, you made my day!
Wreck – not only do I mow the lawn, but I clean garage roofs and clean out rain gutters, too… just for fun. Thanks for praising me. You make my chores seem fun and rewarding.
A-Sports – you and A-Joe are rascals! Made me blush as I fingered the “crystal skulls” you created. BTW, if you are marketing them, may I reserve the light-colored “skull”. Can’t wait to wear it proudly on a chain around my neck…for good luck!
ST – Keep those awesome photos coming! Don’t apologize for subjects being off center. You’re doing a great job and trust me, soon your photography skills will catch up with your splendid writing skills.
To the Wilton Family – Deepest condolences from the A-House Ohana.
We are all family. Back in the day I used to catch rabits and eat them while building the first blimp ever to leave the great state of New York. I used a big wrench that I made in a factory all by myself and would grease it with the pork fat from the time I went to Samoa to teach them how to roast a pig Hawaiian style. Got there by riding the Hokuli’a when it was only a single hual canoe in which we would race the the natives in Africa… …. …. What was I talking about?
Uhh…
AWH no worry some times some people think it’s funny to do that kine stuff, but they are the only ones who think that. You are very welcome here, just go with the flow and it’s all good.
#330
Is that a double entendre?
Good ting ST no stay
meiling I wen Mung Lung chinese school only to buy crack seed den dig out. usually went river to catch frogs or Waikalulu falls to go swimming. attended one day and said dis not for me. dis was afta regula school. took 3 weeks befoa someone figured I not going.
Hey Mrs. A-House. Glad to see you on.
AWH,
If you have been following this blog, everyone is welcome. Just a few days ago, Pauoa Boy and his family met a lot of Tsaikos at Nancy’s. And he’s a relative newcomer to the blog and actually was in Sacramento when he started to post.
Mrs. A-House…aaawwwww! You make us feel all warm and cuddly insiie!
AWH Cousin,
no give all da secrets bruddah girl…too many times da white man take from da brown man and no mo land….jus look at hawaii kry by aina whinah, around da corner from crylua and lanicry. all da white mad did was come in wit da palapala and go steal da land. we not talkin small kine action, we stay talkin big time rip off….how can.
so gotta keep da info on da DL fo da uddah braddahs and sistahs, and da tweeners, you know, da kine heshe shehe’s who stay on da wrong side of da canoe….
but who wen go win da race wit da african guyz? no was jimmy da greek as da captin right, oh wrong boat, dat was CBS, haha
das why, if can can, in no can den bottles
LV,
subject to interpretation, as always. i’m not the guy with the rolled up washcloth in a pair of Angel Flight pants…..just for the record.
wow,
look at AWH’s family coming out, what a nice group. i thought the Brady bunch was perfect, was i wrong?
greg never recovered from his intimate relationship with the mom off the screen, dad went to the other side, pam henderson did her own damage, marsha went off the deep end….and that was a family show?
Rap blew those guyz away, man that was one funny guy….unleashed he was unstoppable.
Koakane,
You never catch dojos at Waikahalulu Falls? Sell them to the Filipino men to make some money to buy sodas. Good fun!
4 wrong on your essay
1.AWH’s Cousin
2.Rabbit
3.Hokule’a
4.Hull
For us LoCal fans we can start getting our football fix, Saturday night at Cerritos College with the East/West 605 HS All Star game. Don’t know if any future Warriors are playing!
And Mrs. A-House does all those chores after Bench pressing and hitting a 300lb punching bag. One of the great Tsaikos there…
Bulla,
Thanks for the clarification.
Us guys (not me of course) used knee high athletic socks, more tubular and natural looking.
kau kau time
see what happens when there is no game to talk about.
the natives are restless.
i hope everyone viewed those chad owens’ link from last night. boy, were they talking him up. i hope that he can find life in the cfl at least.
d1 . . .
Awe-full bio! Whoo-hoo!!!
And Mrs. A-House does all those chores after Bench pressing and hitting a 300lb punching bag. One of the great Tsaikos there…
thats true Wreck! but Mr. A-House is the one with the guns, right Mrs A-House?
ok time to filter out the bad brain cells and there’s aplenty in mine……everyone take care and here’s an advance “Good Morning!”
Mr. Tsai . . .
Thank you for reinstituting the bio’s. Everyone has an interesting life story and it is important to share it before that history is forgotten. Especically when it conjures up so many memories! (Sorry AWH)
Great job Las Vegas,
I saw those too, other clan member is the challenge.
wait a minute….
mrs. ahouse can’t wait to read midori7’s bio???
hey, isn’t that your girl?
has she been doing things you don’t know about???
it must be she and uhfan808 and there mischievious deeds.
OK, new subject. One huge cheer for the Victorino and Suzuki. Can they hit and Victorino on a 14 game streak. Those Maui guys are doing ok in the majors.
g-nalo . . .
I believe you are correct. I recall a conversation where Mrs. A-House mentioned that it was Mr. A-House who impressed her when he showed her his . . . um, you know . . . heh.
okay. all righty then, time to go cook rice.
bulla, psssst. just use crazy glue and you can have the folding 2 foot chopsticks like homey with the red enamel paint.
Mindful condolences to the Wilton family at their time of loss.
Forgot, good afternoon to all the “brilliant” Tsaikos. Thinking of Guiness and word automatically pops up.
LV and Wreck . . .
One more. Did AWH’s Cousin make the wrench or the factory all by his/her self?
My deepest sympathies to the Wilton family.
Tombo Ahi,
Mahalo for the link to the Chad Owens Show. Reminds me of the years he hooked up with Timmy Chang, and all those punt returns to the house! Good stuff!
Interesting movement of posts every so often. Booo, to the techies.
The blog clock seems to be closer to being on time. Yahoo! Thank you to the techies.
Dang. All the earlier conversation about the old ILH, the Termite Palace, and food places really took me back. And, yes, those dry-boiled peanuts at the old stadium were the best.
Howzit everybody,
Get one short time to post something short.
My condolences to Coach Wilton and his family. May the grace of god by with you and your family.
Condolences to the Wilton family.
Small kind get somemore time before gotta go home.
The guys looking kinda bigga and betta this year. Can not wait for the first day of practice and first game to see how the boyz do.
Go Warriors!!!!
Kama,
Drop by my parking lot on your way home..
Pomai, I was able to view the bios earlier, but just got an error when I tried again. (and since I can’t say this without being part of the Me generation… I’ll just say that I didn’t see my bio)
AWH – you can see when the CC (cattle call) and K-Calls are scheduled (and other great Tsaiko Info) at http://home.hawaii.rr.com/smurashi/tsai-kos/
Kama – Missed you at the WBC call. See you at the next one. Eh what about coming to watch the QB’s pressure each other next week. Can or what?
My lawyers will be contacting all of you who confessed to pilfering food from my plate at Buffet 100. Nuff said.
al,
I know who Lena Machado is, but where did she live? I lived about a block away from Ebisu Catering on S. King St., where Alan Wong’s restaurant is now. Taniguchi Store was right next to us. My Mom’s family lived on Hall St.
koakane,
I remember buying moi, too, at Mun Lun school. My Goong-Goong (JaM knows who he was) used to do tai chi in the evening there when an old sifu was visiting from China. The teacher would be up on the classroom porch & the adults would follow him doing tai chi in the yard. I used to run around eat moi, try to follow the movements & play, play, play.
We are old futs, but we had good times in our hanabutta days.
My son doesn’t believe me, but I saw Elvis at the Civic Auditorium when he was NOT fat! I also remember going to see wrestling there with my Dad. Boy, we should all write our memories down for our keeds.
We’re Making More Memories!
Eh Wreck what time you finish work.
Our condolences to the Wilton family at their time of loss.
wafan – Was worth the wait for D-1shima’s unabashed revelations huh? I suddenly felt like I was on the set of “One Life To Live.” I still wish he didn’t hold back about those college days.
Hey, I don’t roll out of the Wessie without the Warrior Express in the front of the pack, and D-1 at the wheel.
d1shima – great bio!
Can’t wait for midori7’s bio tomorrow!
Happy belated birthday, Faith.
Go Chad!!! I’m so glad I got to watch the game last night.
9 days and counting!!!
AWH,
No scared, jump in any time. Just because the old geezers on here got sensitive because their age was showin, no worries, thats how old folks are. Please continue to post and ask questions when you need. We need more young ‘uns in here. Just do what the other young’ uns do and smile for the oldsters and wait til the subject changes or until their medication kicks in. Welcome aboard, sorry for the rookie hazing. 😉
Is anyone going to watch practice on the 13th, 16th, or 20th?

Guess you gotta go early to Tsaiko fuud events, even at a buffet.
Off to finish laundry. Laterz…
AWH, e komo mai!
AWH, dpk is right. no listen to those old futs, just join in and have fun and relax, but watch your fuud plate when you go to cc with them.
Howzit Ronnie!
Me and Koakane were trying to figgah which one of the Manapua places you were going to take up residence at on your first 10 minutes on the ground.
I say you’ll prolly head over to Waimalu because of the great selections. I mean aside from you traditional Char Siu, where else can you get Roast Duck inside Manapua, or Hot Dog Manapua? Teri-flavored meatballs are the rage now, but Kau Yuk is good stuff too. Mmmm…Mmmm…Mmm!
Heartfelt condolences to Coach Wilton and his Ohana.
Arizona State won the NCAA women’s softball championship by beating Texas A& M 11-0. So our UH women’s SB team did well to play them in the regionals.
Kekoa . . .
D1’s bio was well written and really evoked some warm and fuzzy memories of a loooooong (for some of the older Tsai-ko’s that would be a loooooooooooooooooooooooooooong) time ago. HA!
I do remember Howard, the peanut lady, the Boliva clock, the entrance by the Grambling Band from under the makai stands (that was some gut shaking sounds from that fabulous drum-line, and the band — oh my), the Shrine Game, Turkey Day Games, Islander Baseball, going to Farrington and St. Louis games with my older cousins, the Farrington band when they played Kansas City and Cheerio, the makai “parking lot” that had more pot-holes than pavement, and . . .
Wafan,
Cheerio.. FHS td song?
I’m glad the stuff I wrote stirred up so much conversation today; albeit to the chagrin of some.
I thought that it was very interesting to learn more about some other Tsaikos through the experiences you shared today.
Just a thought for anyone jumping in today and don’t know what to say to “feel included” – see 387., 375., 366., 365…..
also remember as part of the Wilton Ohana, was it Aaron, who played for his Dad? Aloha to him, too as he just lost his Grandma.
wafan / LTUHF,
Is that the name of the song? Remember hearing it a few years back at a Govs game I was attending. Brought back memories.
Who can name da coach of the ’65 team dat beat Kam(ehameha), 16-6 fo’ da ILH title?
Bonus question:
Name da field that they practiced on.
Or you can send your condolences to Coach Wilton at WiltonM at hawaii dot edu.

I used to go to the performances by the Governor bands. Without fail they would end the perfomance with Cheerio. It was an easy way for a standing ovation. HA!
They would start the piece as it was intended and on the last section they would play it like they were at the stadium. That auditorium rocked with the sound of a full-band in their maroon and white uniforms proudly playing for the last time (for the seniors) Cheerio! What a way to end your high school music career.
Still bring chicken-skin even as I type this.
We are not alone.
Ronnie: I still cannot get into the Biography section – whether clicking on the link in Pomai’s # 313 post or entering the URL or clicking on the listing in my Favorites button. I can get to the front page of the site, but anything requiring registration is blocked.
Then when trying to re-register, the message was “user name taken.”
Any thoughts out there from blog Tekkietypes as to how to get into the password-protected areas of the tsaikodotcom website?
It was not intended to set off a battle when I asked about the Ward Warehouse CattleCall. Probably would have attended because the price asked is so far from what other buffets around town are getting.
The word BIO seems to have three meanings on this site – it’s only by knowing the context that one can intepret the content.
The news about the Wilton family’s loss is so sad; however, she certainly sounded as if she’d led a fulfilling life.
STEPHEN: Love the pix – when will the next workout be?
Off to pick up DrDoc and then on to another meeting. Have a good evening everyone. Those of you suffering from The Internet Cold, it will pass.
We’re going to cheer for the Farrington team
They got the handsomest, huskiest boys on the Farrington team
….something like that…
Man that’s really stretching it now..
Maybe we should Esme for the words…
OK , off to din din…
NYUH,

Condolences to the Wilton ohana on the passing of their beloved mother.
Stretch – so will I see you at the dinner? Are you already on the email list? If not, send me email (jmor at hawaii dot edu) and I’ll forward you the invite. So when you when grad?
OK, ST & Barry:
everyone seems to know who you are alluding to except me – I’m clueless!
who is the O-line “walkon” to UH who gave up a full ride to Portland State??
LTUF and d1 . . .
Click on my name for a link. Run up the sound. Then click on “Listen — Sample 1”. Just a short clip of that cool Cheerio! Unless you played in the band then you might never have heard the introduction.
A-House:
I’ll tell you when I stop by your house tonight, to pick up Midori’s bio.
d1shima:
coach was the Skippa and practices were at Bishop Museum.
Full version of Cheerio.
Sing along! Where is Esme with the words?
ST:
are you really stopping by the house? I was going to email to you tonight. It’s almost done.
my condolences to the Wilton ohana
sorry cannot stay, everyone have a safe evening, cu tomorrow.
A-house,
I think at the time Skippa may have still been in Corvallis(?) and although it was all Bishop Estate land at one time, the practice site actually has a name.
wafan,
If not for pausing for dinnah, I might have found that first. But good job.
Mrs. d1shima claims to know the words. Stay tuned.
Sorry, actually I think the Museum isn’t part of B.P.Bishop’s estate, right?
Isn’t it the husband’s? Kekoa? dpk?
midori7,
Remember not to let Mrs. A-house peek; it’s going to ruin the surprise! 😉
d1 coach was Tom Kiyosaki and Kam field or park by the freeway
ST:
ok, pau.
porch light is on.
if das the songs name chereo I can hear it still but I thought it was their fight song similar to mckinley’s black and gold, iolani’s iolani no ka oi, kamehameha’s imua kamehameha and
roosevelt’s band playing theme venus.
who remembers farrington twin song leaders? other farrington band spectacular was during half time da whole band played and performed to the tune of march of the wooden solders. all decked out in their marron band outfits. nicccccccccccccce
midori7,
You staying at a Motel 6?
d1shima…I believe it was Tom Kiyosaki and they praccticed at Bishop Museum
Mike, Kuulei & Wilton ohana,
please accept our deepest sympathies on your loss. Your mom did a good job, Mike! And you two have done a great job! For your family. For your State. Thank you.
/s/ Keaukaha fan
koakane,
Yes, Kiyosaki.
Kusonoki Field, but not sure wea dey practice right b4 the Turkey Day game cause they stayed at Coco Palms that night
Speaking of Kusunoki Field. I remember wen the lights got put in but I don’t ever recall seeing them turned on???
d1shima,
WoFat would not have approved of your bio. 😛 😆
yep wafan das it. only part I really remember being played is the section where da boy and girl hold up sign to either whistle or sing.
whoa can hear the stadium erupting with all da govs standing and pounding the bleachers
LEFTY,
Maybe you and A-house are right about them practicing there b4 that game.
Ronnie wot’s a matter you, stay right whea should be in wit da “R’s” I was actually waiting for you to say something about the picture.
Force to grab my Art Suehiro book tonight.
Howard Egami is featured on p. 61
Also get one former co-worker of mine on p.64, Rich Barry. Nice guy.
Tom Kiyosaki? His wife was my honors english teacher at Roosevelt. His daugher was my sister’s classmate. They all lived in Manoa several blocks from our home.
as a tribute to d1 and all gov’s (sorry warriors) click on above website and read about 65 turkey day game done by jim becker. the writers were very dramatic back then.
enjoy
One of my “fond” memories of Honolulu Stadium.
Before I “transferred” to FHS, my other school used to clean the stadium for fundraising.
Picking up trash under the bleachers was *the worst* after Farrington games! Knee-deep the whole side!
Anybody ever got “bombed” by one soda under those bleachers?
Oh, one other thing I remember.
The scramble fo’ seats in the UH student section with people lying down for save seats for their friends. Funny…
I attended just one game at the palace. Roosevelt played but I don’t remember our opponent. Can’t even remember who won!
Geez, guys, you all have such incredible memories!
Happy Birthday Gwyn!
#2 son loves SkyFlakes Crackers, too.
gigi,
We no have to remember back 82 years das’ why
Is esme a gov too?
The words are…
We’re gonna cheer for our Farrington team.
We’re gonna cheer for our Farrington team.
The boys we yell about, tell about, feel so darn swell about,
Boys on our Farrington team.
We’re gonna cheer for our Farrington team.
We’re gonna cheer for our Farrington team.
We’ve got the huskiest, handsomest, kickingest, passingest
Boys on our Farrington team.
I know, no really make sense but, that’s the words as we were taught it.
Do you guys remember the end of game song? Pride and Victory? That one always brings chicken skin to me.
d1, you mean 81.
Good news about RGM! I’m very happy that he’s healthy enough to practice with the Texans. Hopefully he gets through the next 5 practices and then he’ll have a long time to rest and recover fully.
8-year-old kid plays baseball, football (threw a lot of TD passes and scored on a play as a WR) and soccer…despite having just one leg!
d1, I think someone mentioned that about FHS at Roosevelt stadium.
Don’t remember our Roosevelt alma mater. ST does. Heck, even when I was a student, I didn’t know the words.
Right on koakane
gigi, I’ve learned one thing about men, they can remember sporting events down to a single play but can’t remember where they put their keys, wallet, cell phone, etc. an hour ago.
gigi,
I’m figuring you were still 17 during football season
stacy, does your hubby forget people’s names? Mine does. Instead of names, he says the guy did this or that, call the guy to do our stuff…
ok, d1. I was 17.
stacyj,
…not to mention birthdays, anniversaries, and bar mitvahs
gigi, with the size of his family, hubby even forgets his own cousins’ names. If he doesn’t introduce me, I know he can’t remember their name.
But, ask him to recall a drunken night in college and braddah can tell me the whole story without leaving out many details.
eh d1, how you knew I am Jewish?
gigi,
you should take a clue from Jerry Glanville to help your hubby; everytime you folks meet someone, issue that person a numbered jersey.
stacyj — that’s not true of all men. I can remember where I put my keys, wallet, cell phone, etc. I just forget birthdays, anniversaries, first dates, relative’s names…. 🙂
I can’t keep it straight but off the top of your heads, who grad FHS?
d1, good idea! Since he’s an accountant, he remembers numbers — even the price of something that was on sale a few months ago!
stacyj,
Easy. Your Mom is Jewish.
btw, I forgot we should have consulted an “alleged, possibly, could have been” a cheerleader for da words. 😉
nah, my hubby doesn’t loose those items much but, it amazes me how when the boys get together, they can remember things like speeches the coaches gave during a specific game or where someone missed a hit during the 5th game of the 3rd year playing varsity football (and yadda, yadda, yadda) and yet, they don’t remember other things about life.
stacy, how about their inability to drive to the right destination when TALKING! grrrr. Hubby missed the stadium offramp because he was busy talking about nonsense to me.
Just last Sunday, he forgot to turn left to the parking lot at HCC because — he was talking to me.
It’s so bad, I now tell him to shaddup and drive.
…but oddly, I can remember the blog names and all cattle calls I attended. Peaches is used to me calling her Peaches at home… and I won’t forget d1shima’s birthday 😆
stacyj,
me, Mrs.d1shima, Long Time UH Fan….
wow d1, you got a good memory.
stacyj,
Sorry I can only hold two at a time on top my head.
SteveM,
We’ll see about that – in about 11 1/2 months. 😀
stacyj,
What? It’s easy to keep track of the Jewish Mothers in Hawaii!
heheheh
d1: I confused, 2 what?

why d1? Cuz only got so many Jewish mothers in Hawaii? Did I mention that my mother is Jewish before? Wow, revealing more than I thought I did.
Garret,
What is “OTA”?
stacyj
bring back chicken skin with dem words. can picha the stands fill with student and song going full bast.
back den was the in thing to do. go your high school game and cheer your team. every student went.
think still get some student athletic books from dem days somewhere.
Thanks SM.
stacyj,
koakane, where you grad?
Those HS games are where it all began for me. The memories are priceless.
d1shima,
gotcha d1
Thanks, ST for the scoops on the O-lineman who will “transfer” to UH – kinda surprising, but acknoweldge the reason.
stacyj,
Was just guessing that you were actually Jewish after your comment 448. But if so, from what I understand, your Mom would almost certainly have to be also.
there I go again, submitting post without looking whose name is posted!1 – dang, not paying attention!!!!!!!
Is Vili’s son the O lineman who is walking on at UH?
Just a guess.
Garret,
Thanks.
So it’s a pro football version of Ota Camp, eh?
gigi I stay in da same category as SteveM.
anything to add, where my keys, james bwhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
d1shima:
how many years was Coach Kiyosaki at Farrington?
his replacement was Skippa?
could not remember name of field; only its location across the road.
Koakane and SteveM–
You guys cannot remember your first date????
The date where you actually asked a girl and went out with her?
Yea, now it’s official – a happy birthday to Rich2176!! – great to be 29 again, “Mr. Benny”?
A-house,
Not sure how long he coached at Farrington but I believe he was succeeded by Al Espinda.
stacyj grad Damien but live Kalihi in my younger days, plenty relative went Farrington and alway wanted to be a gov but mom had oddah plans.
fern park pack rat like mufi (afta me) before he became mayor. almost got him into damien but da braddah figured since I was an pain in da arse didn’t think they needed another.
gigi,
Is the next question supposed to be answered after this one?
gigi — in the interest of harmony, “I do not remember” 30 years worth of first dates. 😐
d1, I meant to clarify what a 1st date means. It does not mean group dates.
I went on group dates in 9th grade, and had my 1st real date (to Commencement Ball) in the 10th grade.
A-house,
Is it really Rich2176’s B-day?
Happy Birthday Rich!
gigi take that back, at least remember first date. went some sporting event think was one hs game.
SteveM,
In light of recent events – Good answer!
30 years of 1st dates, SteveM? Wow, you were single a long time.
gigi,
Duck!
(wh-o-o-o-sh!)
hahaha
SteveM
Just surfacing to show I exist.
A-House
Let me in on the secret later. I stay clueless too.
gigi,
I know some guys for whom that would not necessarily be true. 😯
d1 let not get to techie now will follow up questions bwhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
gigi rememba so clearly because my buddy was sick so I had xtra athletic book ticket. so den had money to treat her to peanuts during game and saimin afta.
d1, I no catch on. huh?
So A House, you morphing into Midori7 these days, got the slippa to the head from mrs. A house to often for using her name
haha Koakane. So was that your 1st and last date with her?
Free play link time. Please ignore my next 5 posts if you do not want the off topic stuff.
Newsweek has a scary cover story about rising gas prices and how oil could pass $200 per barrel soon (it was just $10 per barrel in 1999!). Airline bankruptcies, global economic slowing, etc. are forecast for oil at $200 per barrel.
The latest iPhone rumors are all over the place. For example, some say that it will be thinner than the current iPhone and some say thicker.
Wal-Mart is offering free online classified ads, an effort that would seem to directly compete with Craigslist and newspapers.
95% of returned electronic devices actually work, but there is a big problem with how Americans do not read manuals and think that devices are too complicated.
the girls of my generation really got treated well by the guys. Nowadays, the girls have to treat the guys or go dutch.
GM will shift its marketing campaign to promote fuel economy and hybrids instead of its normal focus on trucks. Given gas prices and the focus on the environment, this makes sense to me.
Free play links pau.
back…had to put the kids all down for the night…
Espinda was coach before Skippa. After Skippa, was Harold Tanaka, then David Pila and now Randal Okimoto.
Coach Diaz was the coach when FHS won it’s next division title after the ILH one of ’65.
Does anyone know what year that was (Skippa’s win)?
Just got home so replying to previous posts
I was already “in” before you.
I will probably not be at the dinner in July. I get the emails from Mr Lee. I grad in the 90’s.
Ralph,
Answer to your O-line ? from coupla days back.
I’m not real good on da technical stuff, just general observations
Estes pretty solid. Smart.
Tha other two guys going be much better off inside. I started worrying about them from the Fresno game last year.
stretch, around my time…you got any “famous” classmates? I trying to figure out when you grad.
gigi, re:501, not necessarily true. My husband was/is still a gentleman. I think a lot has to do with who you choose to date. And, I think women are changing things up in the dating world too.
I thought you dated a Neanderthal?? They treat girls well??
stacyj – you went Lab School??
NOOOOOO. Farrington… What year did you leave the experiment rooms?
Hey, D1, awesome bio. But where’s all the music stuff? You left out lotta good parts, my brother.
I gotta say that after I watched your YouTube clip, I spent too much time today researching “Ue o Muite Arukoo” and its original singer Kyu Sakamoto. What an amazing song! I only knew the lyrics from the American version, but the Japanese lyrics are incredible. It’s a Japanese “Sitting on the Dock of the Bay”.
And the way Sakamoto died was also incredibly sad.
stacyj – no famous classmates except ME!!! I am the world famous Tsaiko Stretch!!
Six drops of essence of terror,
Five drops of sinister sauce….
hey, the Neanderthal paid my way. nuff said…
Ho Stretch, you gonna make me beg for the year?
gigi was together 3 years, somebody had to give you juice afta da game was man code da kumu give you kiss and juice. bwhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. at times I think she neva come till almost pau game.
huh? that did not make sense, Koakane.
WarriorMojo,
Is there a lawsuit against very high-pitched whistling? haha
92
stacyj I might have missed it but what year you grad from farrignton? what area you grew up?
that makes Stretch 34 years old. Still young, yet.
gigi if you neva went fball games or knew of girls who went with fball jock no use I explain to you.
gigi,
Nah, Stretch was a prodigy; he’s 29!
’91…town…not Kalihi. Went to 4 elementary schools. There’s a long story to my ending up at Farrington via Dole with a stop at Kaiser. Yup, keep scratching your heads…and I’m green eyed and blonde hair. Go figga!
oh oh before any one jumps all over this
jocks is a reference to a person who played sports.
whewwwwwwwwwwwww
koakane, are you talking about the carton of juice we would give our boyfriends after the game. Eh, what happened to those days?
gigi – why are you a writer?? you should be a mathmatician
Koakane, so that was football lingo, then?
d1, and here I thought all this time that stretch was in his 40s. hahaha
stretch, I got a calculator right next to my computer.
stacyj you like caryn kunz, who writes the “lost series” blog, she went Kahuku
stacyj,
If da guys make da girls go “dutch”, why should they buy da guys juice?
stretch, are your initials GI?
stacyj – Kaiser?? I grew up in HK so know a lot of people from there
So….
Sikahema or Canseco?
koakane: yup, but I’m not Samoan like her and I never lived Kalihi…ever.
stretch, only lived HK when I went high school. My brother grad from Kaimuki.
uh oh.
Now comes the part where somebody’s gonna regret this…..
d1 – yup, you got that right!!
Bettah go now….
Oyasuminasai.
if initials are GI, your mom was my principal, i think.
gigi see stacyj post #527
stacyj don’t know maybe juice to expensive now or like gigi says times changed.
let me share this. the girl I was going with was a cheerleader for maryknoll so at one of their games I brought her a carton of juice. was not meant to be funny but crap had the stink eye and frigid shoulder that night.
stacyj – she was at Dole.
Okay, so it’s like a train wreck; you can’t not watch.
stacyj,
Your principal was Mrs. I?
And how you knew her kids’ initials?
Tell mom haole Stacy whose mom was teacher at dole says hi. I love your mom. Your mom tried to get me into lab school. Your mom is AWESOME!!!!
stacyj I don’t think she samoan or lived in kalihi. she get blond hair and green eyes like you and is from kahuku.
Happy Birthday RICH!!!!
D1- Kamehameha Schools’ original campus was located where the Bishop Museum currently resides. There used to be numerous smaller wooden structures, but the main classroom building was the building that later became The Bishop Museum. The grounds and buildings became available after the school campus moved up the hill to it’s present site.
stacyj – how do you know my initials if you know my mom?? I will tell her that you post here. Be careful because she is a lurker.
d1, you talking to private investigator “stacyj” I went to SteveM’s site to see if I recognized Stretch. Then went to the UH lab alumni website and looked at c/o ’92. Saw a current small reunion picture then looked at the class names. Kinda guessed after eliminating those I recognize.
Oh did I leave out that I know a gang of labbers that grad my year and year after.
Gigi ~ Koakane was explaining how it was after a HS fb game. It was traditional for your gf to bring you a quart of juice to drink. Mebbe a lei if it was a special win or game like Turkey day. The juice delivery girl was the *man code* he so eloquently speaks of…right Pahtna?
Alright, so it wasn’t as “juicy” as I thought.
I met Stretch’s Mom. She is a nice woman.
Thanks dpk.
Now going moemoe…
fo’ real….
not fo’ fake…..
koakane, I believe she’s samoan, and I believe she living in kahuku….my point being, I not one of the main ethnicities in FHS and I never lived in the community. But, yeah, blonde, green eyes and white skin….
stretch making like horseshak from welcome back carter
raising hand and saying ooooh, oooh, oooh, I know I know oooh, oooh oooh mr carter mr carter
so stacy does not know stretch personally. whew! close call, eh, stretch? lol
thought she was gonna be an ex-girlfriend…
Hi Mrs. I, if your lurking!
thanks, Kekoa. That explains it.
wipe the sweat from the brow…I never date stretch.
your=you’re… sorry. So shame if she is and I can’t even type right.
d1: it’s bound to happen eventually…but leave me out of the juicy stuff. Save that for someone else.
this Tsaiko community is too small. stacyj knows my mom and so does koakane. Scary!!
stacyj – have I ever met you??
kekoa roggah daggah dat
stacyj e kala mai no disrespect intended
neva knew dat thanks for da update
I have relatives who live on Mariner’s Ridge as well as on Kawaihae Street. Nice dry area.
stacyj – i will let my mom know about you tomorrow. great to make the connection.
Time for me to go bed now, need to wake up in 5 hours to go Kauai.
Warmest aloha and condolences to the Wilton family.
Gotta hit da hay early tonight- tired from play practice and have a very early morning at work.
Nitey nite and sweet dreams, ka kou!
Stretch — don’t forget Peaches and I both knowing your mom too. 🙂
Speaking of first dates– turns out 3 of my classmates married lab school girls from the same year and club. No worry, we’re talking early 70’s. hwnstln was the one who arranged the first social. 😆 Where is that instigator, he hasn’t posted more than once in the past 4 months…?
Still feet tired from the heat. Good night everyone!
Koakane, no worries…none taken, really.
Stretch, as small kids but not as adults. I can’t remember if you were ever part of the rugrats that ran around Dole when there was no school. If you did, remember Augie T and his brother Arnold? We used to have a blast on that campus. I remember going to your house for something. Can’t remember what the occasion was. And your mom always had pics of you and your sister in her office.
me three gotta get some rest so nite nite stretch, lizk, d1, stacyj, gigi and all da ship at sea bwhaaa
kekoa you get da fire stick now.
It’s been a fun outing with y’all. Good night…
Good Job DPK – To add more information to the discussion, the present day area to the right of the main structure was where the old wooden buildings used to be. Part of it is now a parking lot on the lower side entrance. That was also where the boarding students resided, and a small infirmary during the time the main campus was on the grounds. The front lawn provided an area for after school tackle football games between FHS & KS prep schoolers. Mutual respect for the game and each other kept things clean, no fights.
Charles Bishop did own the complex, as he did own the hall, and chapel as well as the Museum. He of course was key in putting her Estate in order immediately after her death. She was actually cash poor and land rich, so he funded the entire complex as one of the appointed 5 trustees of her estate.
Condolences to Mike Wilton and his family.
Happy belated birthday to Gwyn!
We are not alone.
One of the unique things about Hawai`i is how important to everyone where folks went to high school. How do home-schooled kids handle that?
Garret: Belated Happy B’Day to Faith. How old is she now?
Rich: Celebrate twice for all of us here – and how young are you today?
FYI: Got in touch with my former agent to see if there might be some chance to get back in DaBiz. Haven’t heard back yet.
God night everyone – perhaps we’ll see some of you at practice tomorrow – assuming that I’m no longer boogery.
Howard Egami is one of the great fellows of Honolulu Stadium. Worked hard as a stadium vendor, and most of all one of the most kind and generous souls I ever met.
Regardless of what people thought of him, I always knew he was there to serve all his customers and made sure all enjoyed their experience at Honolulu Stadium.
A few years ago, I saw Howard outside Murakami Stadium. Stopped by and said hello. He said “Eh Moanalua!” Kinda shocked, but Howard remembered that I played baseball for Moanalua in the PAL league and he coached for the Alii’s. After a few minutes, he pulled a ticket out of his pocket and gave it to me. As I reached into my pocket to pay him, he grabbed my hand and said, “No need this is from me, thank you for remembering me.” “Enjoy, enjoy!”
Howard, mahalo! The world should be filled with more Howard Egamis.
Koauka,
Amen to the Howard Egamis ah da world.
d1shima.
Wuz your day! Good job on da net!
Nitey nite.
to all those who got splat with soda from the bleachers as you walked the concourse below.
i am sorry.
How’s Timmy Chang doing?
2005-signed with Arizona as undrafted free agent/released
signed with Detroit as free agent/released
2006-signed with Philadelphia as free agent/released
allocated by Philadelphia to NFL Europe/Rein Fire
completed 50 of 89 pass attempts for 659 yards, four touchdowns and
three interceptions
2007-signed with Hamilton Tigercats of the CFL
Started two of 18 games played…completed 42 of 89 pass attempts
for 467 yards, seven interceptions and one touchdown
Today-6/3/08
Press Release:
The Ticats added a fifth quarterback Tuesday by signing former Florida Gators passer Chris Leak. The addition of Leaks makes the QB situation interesting to follow. He will compete with Quinton Porter and Timmy Chang for the third spot behind last year’s one and two, Casey Printers and Richie Williams.
The Tigercats preseason games start 6/12 and 6/19 and the regular season starts on 6/26
Outlook-For the 27 year old Timmy Chang it might be a poignant moment to realize that his storied football career dating back to his days at both UH and St. Louis High might soon be coming to an end. With the management bringing in two QB’s, Porter and now Leak, the future for Chang doesn’t look too good of him making the team. In fact it be surprising if he did, although here wishing he does have a good training camp and things go right for him.
ST
howzit. suggestions for the blog. I googled honolulu advertiser, got to the main page, was looking for the dog lady leslie kawamoto, couldn’t find her, blog, so i googled her name and came up with her other old stuff but still no dog blog, so I googled Warrior Beat within the HA search space and got to the old Warrior Beat, which gave me the link to this current spot. Sure is a slow way of getting here, and as your blog starts banging 1000 hits things are really gonna get slow.
so my two requests is for leslieK to come over here once a day and say something about us animals and attach her link address here everyday for a couple of weeks – so we can remember her tag and go harass her animals as we walk thru the Tsaiko world almost daily if not more often.
and my second request is for the HA bigshots to fix the blog stuff samoa so we can get to this spot faster. should be automatic that warrior beat gets us to this space, instead of an extra (slow) trip to get here.
btw, I buy the HA everyday, faithfully, 7/365 to support da team. Been doin it since I started hanging out here some months ago.
hoooo weeeee
somebody fixed the clock. thank you thank you thank you.
87 days to go 😀
Hey Warriors,
20 years ago I had the opportunity to spend almost 2 weeks dormin at Hofstra U in August. The Jets were in training camp, on campus. I got to watch the team practice everyday. Up close. I saw Tall. Big. Muscles. Fast. Quick. I marveled at how many really good lookin athletes could be assembled in one place at one time. I’ll never forget the confident expressions on their faces.
I’m feelin that way about you. Represent. Step it up samoa, gangee!
87 days.
GO WARRIORS!!!!
i know we got 87 days to go, but maybe we should spend a moment talkin about fashion. da braddas gonna be all UA’d to da max. but wat about da coaches? lessee… colors coodinator? away game. baggy surf shorts cut below the knee lines? slippahs? polo shirts? big brimmed hats wit a coupla holes cut in da sides for da ear phones?
anybody learnin how fo signal da team cuz da noise gonna be loud an no can heeah? an day gonna practice changin da cadence an da count? da braddas gonna be trained to watch fo da signal for da count cadence?

Earvin Sione
howzit howzit. if you guyz go watch da informalz today, can you check out Earvin?. Is he coming to da workouts?
I hope the current SMU Athletic Director Steve Orsini gets the Notre Dame job because it leaves the door open for some interesting possibilities in the future. Suppose Jones and his SMU team soars next year. and the year after. And Weiss ND team fizzles again this year and the next. Would Orsini again go after Jones again? First I hope Orsini gets the job, so at least the door is open for a fairy tale ending for Jones if this were to happen. Dreaming on my part? Maybe. But I can’t help salivating over the thought of having an offense with 4 and 5 star athletes and 5 of them going out for passes. It would be fun to watch. And it will be interesting to see how everything plays out for Orsini.
Wow, finally caught up with the blog tonight, D1 great bio.
To the Wilton Ohana, Condolances to all for your loss.
Good morning all!
D1 . . .
Re-read your bio and am impressed, still. Looks like Kalihi is strongly represented here! Whoo-hoo!!!
Have a warm and sunny day — someone has to since it will not happen here. HA!
Is “Ferd” Lewis Ferd Borsch, writer for the Advertiser in ’76? Or is that a different Ferd?
morning
Good Morning Tsaikos!!
I woke up early just to read midori7’s bio. What happened?? Don’t tell me she chickened out. Now I will have to give MY version of her bio and I know she doesn’t want me doing that.

congrats to Tasha Kai on making the US Womens Soccer Team and good luck in Korea
Great Morning All.
Stretch,
I’m pretty sure midori7 didn’t chicken out; maybe it’s more a question of will Stephen be willing to risk posting her exploits? 😯
NYUH,
Eh, no let that get around too much ovah dea. 😀

d1shima,
Been gone for awhile, battling viruses on my wifes computer and defending mine against grandsons etc. and resulting over crowding.
Your bio is much the way I expected and the way I’ve got to know you a little bit. Straight forward, no-nonsense with a humorous twinkle in your eye. You are a well adjusted human being of the kind we need plenty more of in this world.
What amazes me the most about your bio is your 25 year honey moon, that still seems to be going strong.
koakane – I am not on Maui today, I wish I was. I have to work so on Kauai.
How is that for a strange fate? You make it to 90 years old in good health and then get run over by an 86 year old, wow. My heart goes out to the Shoji’s.
Aloha Kakahiaka!

ahem, here goes.
Hi everyone. o esd tsodrf om ls ls;ojo/ ,u [strmyd str Ydsolpd ypp/ i graduated deim kalihi wmr 9], rw pm;u fjo;r/
😛
bwahaaahaaa……
okay y’all, i know for a fact that was not her….
😆
Condolences to the Wilton family.
aloha to all the Tsaikos,
have a productive day. let’s see what other families (AWH) will come and join us, maybe some of our ‘senior’ bloggers can offer some insight.
is it hot, or is it just me? on june 1, it was like the thermometer went up on Oahu….at 530 am you can feel the heat. only people happy are HECO, with their escalating (homey, that means rising upward, and not at ala moana) prices.
we need to look for alternative energy sources instead of our current dependency matrix. they say natural gas is cheaper, koakane…is that true and have you put a study together. i thought at one our recent CC’s, not a BIO, that someone was discussing natural gas as a viable alternative, but i argued that i thought flatulence was more of a personal energy source….
more thoughts from others on this if you please. if that is the case, our house energy bill should be cut in 1/2 at least, i figure some of us should be able to sell the extra energy back to HECO, sort of like photovoltaic systems that are becoming popular.
have a good day, i think i stirred the pot up pretty good.
whitey,
howzit. so give me yur cel. wen i get back frum Kona I call, come ovah. tinkin about 8ish pm if da event is Panaewa. da supahsecret is so secret even Doreen don’t know. but i’ll show up. gotta give me details.
Have a Gtest Day everybody!
that cheer is beginning to rumble in the valleys of honolulu, it reminds me of a cacophony of shrill voices from a place called Studebakers…..it sounds like, wait, be quiet, you can hear it tooo….
midori, midori,
what’s the story
midori, midori
what’s the story
we want MIDORI, we want MIDORI, we want MIDORI.
nuf already, wake up ST and let’s get rolling……………
whitey,
yur bradda retired as Captain? i knew him wen he was Sgt, den Lieutenant. he was a guud public servant, a credit to da MPD..
get sum guud fun huntin stories fo share, da Paresa braddas, him.
lookin forward to hookin up with you.
my sincere condolences to you.
good morning people… I hope that the discussions today are more my generation since midori is writing her bio.
bulla regarding, how you put it flatulence, think we need more fucha discussion. Do my best think on this subject morning time afta one heavy pau hana while reading up on community happenings. 😆
wow noticed the techno guys/gals wen fix the time stamp. mahalo to ST, gigi or whomever brought attention to this.
yay, the timer has been fixed! Let’s hope it is permanent.
however, the font size is still teeny-tiny!
OK, I just emailed Scott Morifuji re the font size.
gigi can you help bulla complaining about heat and raising HECO cost. maybe you can loan him some ac time ❓
Even though it’s not da best reason to be returning, in less than 24 hours I will be on my way back to da islands. I can’t wait to feel da hawaiian sun on my face!
Koakane,
hey, bulla works in an air conditioned hotel! Why is he complaining about the heat and humidity???
Where’s is Midori’s bio?? Since it is not posted yet, I will speak for her.
No surprise to anyone here but I was conceived in a YMCA building near UH campus . I use the name midori7 because that is my favorite drink when I go out and party all night. I go to baseball and basketball games so I have a few hours to sit and gossip with UHFan808 and check out clothes catalogs.
Koakane,
bradda, wen yu at da top, no expact da #2 fo like yu, make all wahm an fuzzy. i no expak da GayT fur appreesheeate mi elooquince, oooah da majik ah da momen wen day get stunnin likkins in 87 daze. 😆
djmicho auwe can’t hook up to at least shake your paw and share fun, fuud at a CC. but enjoy what eva can while at home.
gigi maybe broke?
bhf2 main thing like u say represent but no false crack medda vac da swamp mo’os. rememba got da hawaiian ladies with you for protect.
oh oh instigata in da hale bwhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
good hump day all
Bulla the secret word is Hydrogen
Is this the Johnny White’s bar y’all hung out at when in NOLA for the SB? (see link on name) Wish I would have known the owner was from Hawai’i when I was there in 2005.
ok click on my name and enjoy da hawaiian music
play good. now
Mahalo, koakane! Wonderful music to calm me down in the midst of chaos at work.
Midori’s bio is up!!
