Colt gives back
Despite not having a contract with the Washington Redskins yet, Colt Brennan is donating $1,000 to Na Koa, the UH football team’s booster club.

Except during games, Keala Watson is a gentleman.
He is a husband.
He is a church leader.
He helps friends in need.
Still, while on the field he might be Warren Sapp, off the field he is not a sap.
So, really, the person who “borrowed” his new Under Armour shoes should bring them back. No questions asked. Before he gets mad.

From UH associate AD John McNamara:
The posters and schedule cards for UH football, women’s volleyball, and women’s soccer will be arriving in our office on Tuesday, July 15. We really want to ensure maximum circulation, so we’re hoping to recruit some fans to help distribute them to various restaurants, bars, businesses, etc.
If someone would like to assist us, please contact Cha-Cha Kinilau (Kinilau@hawaii.edu) in the UH marketing department. She will make arrangements for the volunteers to pick up the necessary quantity of posters and schedule cards. We’ll ask them to provide us their distribution points, so we can make sure we’re not missing an area or covering it twice.
Thought some members of your Blog group would be interested in helping out.
* * *
On a side note, one of our readers described McNamara as “funny” and “cool.” I could see the “cool” party (Gordon Gecko hair, trophy wife), but I wasn’t so sure about the “funny” part. After all, his best friend is Mr. Straight-and-Narrow, Karl Benson. So, we made him tell us a joke yesterday, and he is indeed funny.

Iceland is green and Greenland is icy, and someone who uses the handle Addahknowsports really is very knowledgable. Addahknowsports, the better half of the Addaknows, is smart, funny and a stickler for dart rules (DO NOT STEP ACROSS THE LINE). Meet Addahknowsports:
Just call me Addahknowsports
I never imagined I’d be writing an autobiography for a football blog the reason being I don’t really know anything about sports. Growing up I never especially liked contact sports as I have a very low tolerance for pain. Hated P. E. in school. Dodgeball…yuck. Volleyball…sprained my fingers every time I played. Basketball…got hit in the head a few times too many. So growing up, I simply avoided them. Although my parents dragged me to high school football games when I was young, I never went to a football game when I was old enough to attend high school. When I got to college, I did buy student season tickets my first semester there, but didn’t know enough about the game to appreciate it. Instead, I gravitated to other non-contact activities.
I enjoy the outdoors and growing up on Kauai, I had my full share. Every day after school and before it got dark was spent playing with the other neighborhood kids. We rode our bikes, climbed trees, traipsed through the cane fields and scooped up fish in irrigation ditches in the valley. I have very strong memories of going fishing up the river with my family in my dad’s little boat or at the pier. My mom would always meet up with us at some point with musubi, chicken wings and carrot sticks. Good memories.
Today, I still love the outdoors, I love science, I love to design and create. Growing up with a mom who was an art teacher as well as an artist, I was ingrained with an appreciation for the visual arts. I am good with my hands (Tsaikos, if you make any wisecracks about this remark, you will feel my lead hand and foot) and enjoy creating things sculptural. Everything is a medium with which to work and every experience is an idea for creation. Within the last few years I have embraced glass as a medium and create jewelry and miniature sculptural pieces.
My Oddah Half
After I graduated from college with a degree in art, I went to work at a sign company in Kalihi. It was there that I met addahknowjoe. He had a passion for life, a deep compassion for people and a penchant for sports. Although I could not fully appreciate his love of sports, I could appreciate the sense of humor that accompanied the detailed stories of his youthful sports days. One of our first activities as a couple (which had I also not had a decent sense of humor could have ended it right there) was when I asked him to spend the day and go around the island with me. He told me no, but never said why. Later I found out that the 49ers were playing and he wanted to watch. He confessed later that it was a really tough decision, but when his favorite team started losing and couldn’t bear to see them get spanked, he turned off the tv and called to say he would go riding with me. Talk about being confused.
He enjoys going to high school football games especially if an outer island team is in town to play. Most times I (reluctantly) get to accompany him. Once someone gave me tickets to a UH vs Notre Dame football game. He cheered ’til he was hoarse. I fell asleep through two rounds of “the wave”. A-joe is very patient and is always willing to explain what is happening in the game.
What’s a Tsaiko?
In December of 2006, a-joe asks me to go with him to a football blog party. Oh no, not again! He told me it’s not just about football, it was about people who are sharing their lives on-line and this is the first time that they were going to meet face to face. Reluctantly, again, I said okay. I didn’t think I would have anything to say. At the party, I happened to sit next to WreckinEyez and across gigi-Hawaii. I met a lot of very nice people despite me being very quiet and shy. And I thought that was the end of that.
Then one day last year, he asked me if I wanted to go to Vegas… My eyes lit up! …to watch a football game. Huh? Are you kidding me? But I went anyway. I never regretted a moment of it. I got to meet a wonderful bunch of people who were so excited about the same thing. The excitement was electric and the camaraderie was infectious. I got to hear Rich2176’s career adventure, got to ride with 99club who shared his stories, I got to sit next to Brew808 who drew me in even more with his quick, no-shame-just-say sense of humor, and I got to make friends with this awesomely incredible bunch of people…which leads me up to today.
Since that (memorable for me) UNLV game in Las Vegas, I have met more Tsaikos and Tsaikettes. Thanks to the foresight and planning skills of the Tsaiko Ohana, I have participated in activities that have included but are not limited to numerous Cattle Calls, Tsaiko-gates, EIS meetings, Karaoke Calls, movie night, darts (which feeds my affinity for projectile-related things), craps, eventually pool and bowling and poker, the Five F’s with fishing included as the sixth F. Finally, thanks to ST I am addicted to this dang blog. lol.
We are on the threshold of the anniversary of a living, growing entity born out of passion, commitment and a basic love for ones’ fellow (wo)man. I am honored and humbled to be a part of this. I have learned in life that you are never too old to learn something new. I want to understand what my newfound friends see in UH Warrior Football and possibly connect with my husband on a new level. I hope in the future, I will be able to contribute perspective and insight of my own and give back to what you all have given me.
AddaKnow – Both you & A-Joe posses professional writing skills along with eye & ear catching personalities. The perfect match. Hope to see you in Hilo sometime soon.
Bam!
Great bio A-sports – good thing I already wrote one cause I wouldn’t want to follow this.
That explains EVERYTHING!!! hahaha
ASports – awesome bio!
Ajoe is one lucky bugga
and ah, ok, i won’t mention anything about your hands,
will leave that one for homey 😆
thank you for sharing
Yay SPORTS!!!
Beautiful- understated in more ways than one.
We are talking about a tremendous talent from a whole line of talented folks… not to mention her amazing hubby!
HiHo!
Asports, you and I are so much alike as far as sports go, it’s scary! Not too good with my hands, though, you got me beat. Love the book mark and pendant you gave me.
How long have you and Joe been married? What a dream couple!
I know addahknowsports.
Good job! Funny but I wonder how involved with this blog you would be if Joe didn’t e-mail me all those years ago. Life would be different perhaps. Hmmm. 🙂
I want a poster! Make that plural – posters. Hope Mr. Watson gets his shoes back, too.
I can take some poster back to Kauai ❗
er… posterS
Liz:
You may have whatever you wish … as long as you never, ever, wear a mu‘umu‘u on an airplane again.
hey, Satele’s dog looks like the one I had in New York. Mine thought she was a human and would walk around on her hind legs. Lani also loved to eat freshly cooked macaroni.
Good Morning Tsaiko Family!
Asports (who is just “sports” on my cell phone 🙂 ) – Two words Yee Haw!!!!!
Great bio!! Thanks for sharing your story with us.
Addahknowsports,
Great Bio, and you know alot about alot. Ajoe is a blessed man to have you by his side, i am not sure what side, but i didn’t say the backside. the two of you are a wonderful couple.
thank you for sharing…i like it, we now have a 6th F….fishing. a refresher course for the 5 F’s as i remember it, family, friends, food, fun, football……….and now fishing
tomorrow is a day we have all been waiting for……thank you ST and committee for making a dream a reality………auryte!
hmm, ST, you got something against muumuu? And here, I just packed one in a bag for the blog party culture table.
gigi,
when you talk about a dog, a black dog, and then mention macaroni, that might get Homey’s taste buds going so early in the morning.
just a thought…
haha, I thought homey eats rice, not mac.
Addaknow: Thank you for your bio. Joe is one lucky guy. Looking forward to seeing you both tomorrow.
good to see Maiava getting to start at USC, they list him as 6′ and 230 lbs. as the Weakside Linebacker. he has some BIG shoes to fill, but let’s celebrate a local boy doing good.
on another note, a former UH Rainbow Warrior, Bernard Cravalho has thrown his hat into the ring as a mayoral candidate for Kauai. he has the support from the former mayor’s wife, and used to be the mayor’s campaign manager. good luck to all.
what do you think LizK? i see Yukimura is jumping into the fracas also, a big question for her will be when the citizens of kauai ask her about Hurricane Iniki and the shortcomings of her leadership…..just a thought from a ‘townie’ in honolulu.
have a great day Tsaikos……..the clock is ticking…….
19th!
A-Sports ~ You have hit the bullseye on this one! I salute you for giving us a glimpse of your passion for the finer things in life. Most of us guys are hoping that you continue in that vain…PLEASE!
Why?…because once you go down that path of learning and you complete the crash course on football, us guys are in real trouble. We will have to keep our heads on a swivel and look out for the ‘headslap’ that you will surely learn to deliver with as much force as your ‘lead’ foot.
Koakane is still suffering from PTSD after being punished for his foot fault during a recent dart competition. He drinks more and mumbles stuff like, “eh! no step my feet brah!” and yet there is nobody near him!
As for me, I don’t look forward to being institutionalized for brain damage. So, can we talk?
gigi,
i thought about that also, but my connection was mac-gruff to mac-aroni. i know it is a stretch, but oh well.
speaking about Stretch, (wasn’t that a cool transition), BIG MAHALOS to you bro for all you’ve been doing to make the Blog Bash not crash. you are so generous, mahalo bro.
tom mui,
looking forward to seeing you my friend, it will be a memorable night, a classic night, a Tsaiko benchmark if you will. and we’ll have fun too……
DPK and Homey,
after reading about the 5 F’s, and potential 6th F, i have to forewarn you both that we will not have the 7th F that you are considering. i can feel the might brain waves that you are generating, but as I sit here in my chair at my desk at my home waiting for Aunty Lyn to put on her war paint, i mean make up….
this will be official…FLATULENCE will never make it to our beloved F family.
nuf sed
Kekoa,
is that PSTD any by product of his STD he keeps mumbling about……. i keep hearing him chant, ‘…it wasn’t me….it wasn’t me….it wasn’t me….’ sounds like a rap song i hear last week about the sofa, the kitchen, the bathroom….maybe i’ll ask him tomorrow night to explain further.
by the way, got your email, mahalos plenty, you hit da buggah square on top of da head…..good job.
ok,
enough of my tirade, off to da office to protect the natives from the tourists……and RIMPAC, haha.
have an awesome day boyz and gurlz, be blessed so you may be a blessing to others.
a hui hou, gotta go

Addahknowsports – where’s your picture? Picture accompanies the bio…
Great bio, btw.
A-sports–
I love your bio. When Steve told me that you have a bio this morning, I couldn’t wait to get to work to read it. Wow! You are an interesting person. And after you and I go to the football clinic, we will finally be able to talk the lingo…you know…wide out, running snap, quarterback, safety, and whatever everyone else is talking about. One day….
To all the other Tsai-kos out there–
See you tomorrow at the bash. I’m really looking forward to the entertainment and listening to my favorite “Kanaka Wai Wai”
Also am looking forward to meeting the faces behind the names.
To the Mianos–
Congratulations!!
there is a committee, not just me. Everyone’s been working hard getting things set up.
Wena ~ As Esme would “omigooness!” Football lingo. ST will have his hands full for sure now…hehehe.
I know you are going to enjoy the bash, the band, and the whole Tsaiko experience. I’ll bet you always knew ST was a real family man, you just never knew he had this much family in him.
Oops!…how can I say it without ‘say!’
A-sports…great bio my sistah…awesome. Thanks for sharing.
Awww..cmon, who stole the shoes?? Return them.
Can’t wait for tomorrow’s party….took some days off just for the occassion.

Good Morning Errybody,
A-Sports – Great Bio
Aunty Ronnie – sent you email
A-sports,
AWESOME bio!
Like stretch, I am glad I don’t have to follow yours.
You and a-joe are prime examples of what makes this group so special.
Mahalo.
great bio addahknowsports. i actually thought you were a huge sports fan because of your name. the section about addahknowjoe and the 49ers game was too funny.
djmitcho – let me know time/place when I gotta sign up for the draft
Eh-Sports . . .
Awesome biography. A decidedly fortunate turn of events for one not that into sports. A-joe is such a lucky guy! And now we know exactly why he is always smiling!!! Your openness to join him in his love of sports is definitely one of the keys.
Whoo-hoo!
oooh.. what kine toy, Stretch??? What, you nevah wait for iPhoneG3?
*gulp, be brave* I admire women with good hands and a strong gripe. Come to think of it, many men would too! I’ve also seen some of those sculptural pieces you may have “handled”.
Nah, A-Sports, you and A-Joe are tied with many others in being the bestest! As koakane is honored to have you as his Darts pahtnah, I am honored and blessed to have you as my “crab, no touch my hamachi” pahtnah. Thank you so much for using those gifted hands and fingers in making the priceless hand engraved with gold leaf lettering rare tiger koa from the deep rainforest of the Big Island instructional placement fits only me chopsticks.
btw, I like wat the tekkies have done recently. Much bettah on my Tilt now.
Aiyah who would take somebody’s shoes and no give back. Wow pilau style dat, use the shoes make um all hauna and then no give back. If I was Keala I wouldn’t take em back I make dat buggah buy me one new pair…dirty rat!
Liz – trying to set up the new phone (Verizon XV6800) but everything is going over my head. Too much instructions. Unlike ST who can still use his old camera because he is too lazy to read instructions, my old phone is dead so I am stuck with this. BTW – I suggested to ST that he put the instructions in the bathroom so he can read while going No 2.
trashouts,
IDK if he like get ’em back aftah sombuddy use ’em fo’ workout…hauna!
Still, not cool fo’ “borrow” though.
a-sports….wow. what a nice bio. it is just like you to defer to your great man, a-joe.
you guys are just some of the nicest people that i have ever met and i’ve been around quite long.
okay, next cc will be at phuket thai, just for you, when can you go??
whoa….stretch and new toys.
dangerous.
There is a CC today??!!??
{{{A-Sports}}} ^5
awesome bio a-sport! i really enjoyed reading it.
bulla…..today you were in fine form.
Stretch . . .
I just got a new phone. I insisted on a phone that actually allowed me to make phone calls. They tried to sell me a phone, a web browser, and I do not remember what else. I kept insisting, though. Finally, the sales guy gave up and asked his manager had to step in because the sales guy got frustrated. But, I did get a simple phone. I think it can do some of the other stuff — but I disregarded those directions. HA!
hey fellow tsaiko’s
don’t forget to submit your “guess the color of gigi’s muumuu contest” entry here.
winner gets a kiss from dpk.
Addaknow’s are good people. Everything comes from the heart
finally….
since everyone is too polite to ask mrs. tsai.
i will.
so wena,
what is a “running snap”?
Unbelieveable that some loser would “borrow” things from anyone else. I just do not understand people like that — like a wild animal who stumbles upon the riches of another and strives to profit from the work of others.
Patience Al. She will tell you at the conclusion of the clinic.
did we establish if “Pride.” is the pride???
Today this is me.
Stretch – typical engineer. No like/can read/follow instructions. j/k. But, I know from whence I speak! 🙄 I going get new toy next week (new phone)
Perhaps Keala would like to put a window or a door at his house. Maybe he could “borrow” the thief’s head to do the work?
Whoever was here yesterday pretending to be me, goin get one kick from Addaknowsports.
Today this is me too
*DPK stands in front of the mirror, trying on dozens of shades of lip gloss and puckering his lips. He’s been practicing for hours… He thinks “the sparkly one… hmmm… no definitely not the sparkly one.”*
al,
That’s not the real pp. The real pp only talks about football.
OK…taking 10 minute break to blog like swift…
WHAT A BIO BY A-SPORTS! Soooo cute, too!
How is that a win?
You see Al. My name is Pride. The imposter has no . after his name. Ah we caught’em. Now gotta catch the shoe thief.
Barry,
Did you get my message on Clearwire? Need to know if that’s a good account or if I need to go to option #2. You nevah send nuttin to “tsaiko808 at yahoodotcom”. Would like to reach you today.
Mahalo
Ahh, someone needs to give DPK his meds immediately.
Addahknowsports,
Awesome bio! Thank you so much for your interesting, informational, and funny bio! Addahknowjoe is a lucky man and you two are a great couple. Our blog community is lucky that you are involved on the blog and at so many Tsaiko events.
Your description of your childhood sounded wonderful, it is great that you got to spend so much time outdoors. Funny story about Addahknowjoe and the 49ers game!
Two of my favorite people featured here today.
Mrs. Addahknow, and Keala Watson. Mrs.ADK, thank goodness that the 49ers, were getting spanked that day, you and Joe are one of the neatest couples I have ever seen, both of you so creative and sophisticated but with that sweet nature that seems to come from growing up on the outer islands. I am so glad to have met you and Joe, two kua’aina peas in the same pod.
There’s just something about Keala that makes you like the guy right away. We look forward to him helping to anchor our awesome defense. Anything good that comes his way, we already know it couldn’t happen to a nicer guy.
If I ever find out who took those shoes, I will drag his okole over to A-Sports and let her do a Mexican Hat dance on his toes…then finish with a hard slap to that large lump on his shoulders!
NOW BRING BACK HIS SHOES DAMM*T!!! 👿
Kekoa – actually the best is to put a dart board at his feet then she can whip the dart and probably hit him in the face. She throws one mean fastball dart
ooops, busted again.

Ronnie ~ If it’s any consolation, we discussed different ways to include our global ohana for the next anniversary bash. We came up with some great ideas, just ran out of time and donors!
If you think Sports is cool…
someday we may see Mrs. Homey around here 😈
The font is too big! Bring back the smaller font! 😈
Kekoa – does it involve streaming video? 😉
rising from the gutter, las vegas mutters to himself “do not mention good hands” just congratulate asports on a nice bio.
Hey A-Sports! Great Bio!
whew that was close.
XLiz – Don’t bet on it.
Ronnie – wanna see streaming videos? James told me about a couple of websites.
Thanks, Colt!
Ralph – I like Opera.
ST,
How about inserting pics for the bios?
I mean, if you can do water jugs and pet dogs i’m sure you could’ve done A-Sports on mon or tue.
Bulla,
That seventh “F” that comes to your mind as flatulence, well I can see why it might be on your mind. When I think of the seventh “F”, what comes to my mind is “Faith”. 😉
homey – uh… thanks, but I’ll pass for now..
(Get it? Pass? Football blog? I’m learning to be funny like you.)
Way 2 go, Colt!
Hmmm, if he gave to Koa Anuenue he could have had good parking for football.
heheheh
DPK – I can think of another “F”.
Ronnie – I like dry humor! 😆 That’s why I like Pride..
Oh, and thanks Colt and whoever borrowed KW’s shoes, do the right thing, give it back.
Ronnie,
still working on things so can make it over for the Boise game.
will know 4 sure soon.
d1 – coolio!!! and Yee Haw!!! I can’t wait to beat them on their home smurf turf.
Hmmm…A-Sports and A-Joe had an office/co-worker romance? I wonder if A-Joe was her boss at work…hmmmm.
For those who are looking for a pic of A-Sports to go along with her bio, see attached link. I added it to the glassware album. Enjoy!!
Stretch – that’s a classic!
Stretch – who is that on the right side of the picture holding her up?
homey,
I gave you that set-up for the seventh “F”. Be careful, you are becoming a lil predictable. A predictable homey is bad for the universe…
ahem…no forget the photo credit, eh?
GRRRR!! I was busy doing a last spell/grammar check on the blog itself when all of a sudden, I hit the BlackMagic key and the post disappeared. Now, I’m rewriting it off-line and will copy/paste.
Really interesting autobio, Addaknowsports. Remember well the time at Murphy’s – UHFan808 was at the table too
Both the signs for the two recycling bins and the Ching/Cooke Field display board are being done by AddaknowJoe. For years, we took our sign orders to another shop in Kalihi, but why not support one of our own? We should all do this on a regular basis, but too often, we don’t even know each other’s real names let alone where folks work except in a vague way like “for the state” or at a downtown law firm.
The display and the recycling bins will be donated to the Athletic Department/Jim Donovan after the party.
According to SteveM’s site, ten Tsaikettes have signed up for Coach Heather’s clinic on August 19. Why don’t we all wear our Tsaiko-Shirts and meet beforehand for an early dinner or go out afterwards to a place where one of the attendees who’s under 21 can go? The clinic is still six weeks away so we have plennytime to work out the details.
JAMES: We have 55 McDonald’s of Hawai`i coupons good for a free sandwich – any one on their menu – to donate tomorrow night – one per household. I discovered them last night at the bottom of a huge pile of paperwork left over from the Legislature plus other stuff which had accumulated there for the past two months. We were supposed to hand them out to volunteers at a community service workday back in mid-May. They expire at the end of July and our next big event is not until mid-August so giving them away tomorrow evening seems like a good way to get them out to people.
Of the items listed above, which ones are to be given away and which ones are being auctioned off? Are you still accepting donations?
KEKOA: Do you need the big ice chest I wrote you about? Please let us know – we’ll be there tomorrow with the display & the bins by 4 pm at the very latest – maybe earlier if DrDoc can find a sick grandmother.
PAUOA BOY: The India Cafe certificate is also date-limited if you don’t plan to use it yourself.
POMAI: Let me know if you need any additional help. Best way to reach me is by phone if it’s anything time-sensitive. Unlike some of the techheads here, I am still back in the analog age when it comes to personal electronics. I can’t even figure out the texting feature on my $30 phone. .
Will post another reminder later today about the Kailua Relay For Life coming up this weekend and the Family Promise of Hawai`i BBQ Picnic on July 19.
Hihohiho -it’s off to work I go.
I wasn’t going to put your name out there but since you want A-Sports to know that you posted that lovely picture of her for the whole world to see ….. hahahaha
DPK – I bow to you. You are in a different league. I am just humbled to be in your presence. I dare not step in your footsteps. You are the epitome of regalness (is that a word?). Babies stop crying when they hear you talk.
Addahknowsports — a wonderful and charming bio, just like you!
😳
A very generous donation by Colt… my aloha for him still grows!
Gotta run… at work today (emergency stuff).
Where is A-sports today? Probably getting a manicure, pedicure, some highlighting, facial, body massage, and buying a new outfit for tomorrow. All the while A-Joe is sweating, working hard, giving all his money to A-Sports so he cannot afford to get a shave, cut his hair, buy new clothes and slippers…the things us men do for our women.
Good Morning ST, Tsaikos and Tsaikettes!
ST-
Thanks for the nice intro…I think. Did you call me an oxymoron? I don’t really mind as long as peeps don’t call me “moron” like they call me “A-sports” instead of “Addahknowsports. lol. Big time thanks for calling me “smart”.
Everyone-
Thank you soooooo much for all of the wonderful comments. I’m glad I could inform as well as entertain. I’m looking forward to making many more memories. (try say that fast 5 times).
Stretch- (#3)
Did I mention that I have a lead hand and lead foot? You going get it for that and impersonating Pride. And that goes for you, too, whoeva wen take the shoes.
jp- (#7)
Yup. It’s been great! I love how it turned out!
Wena- (#31) Can’t wait for the clinic. BTW, “running snap” sounded pretty good to me.
Wafan- (#56)
“Eh-sports”? Watch out. Brew going have his atty contact you. Bwahaha.
Homey- (#58)
You saw my sculptural piece? You don’t mean the one that Mrs. A-House is going to be sporting one day?
Did I also mention that I used my lead hand to chop down that rare tiger koa tree?
Al- (#63)
Phuket Thai sound wonderful. How about 7/30/08 (Wed)?
Stretch, again- (#111)
OMG! I just refreshed. Now you gone and done it. Our secret’s out. Me and Mr. Potatohead had a thang goin’ on. How did you get that picture from LizK?
Once again, Everyone-
Thank you so much for letting me be a part of the Tsaikos and letting me express my Tsaiko-ness. I’ll be back later on this evening. Have a great day!
Just looking at the schedule for this year, I have to say that although everyone would want a blemish free year, again, if we were to have “okay losses” and great wins, within the context of being real, we could loose a close one to Florida, loose on the road to Fresno State and be okay. The great wins would be to win at Oregon State and Boise State. Winning at Oregon State would be great for a couple of reasons, they’re Pac 10, they have some local ties and they beat us here. The Boise win would be because we never beat them there. We beat Fresno at Fresno so while a loss would not be as welcomed as a win, it would not be a bad loss (if the score was close).
Looking forward to the next season.
xs-homey – no porget the lowlights…
ST- typo? – Colt does not have a contract ??
Vibing Keala Watson’s shoes to be returned to him pronto!!
ok…
williegrace!
Ronnie ~ I’m gonna ask Pauoa Boy to deliver something to you, it’ll help keep that new found Aloha spirit with your son burning bright.
Tell him to get a lot of lap swimming in so he’ll be ready to go surfing with my grandson when he returns. He may be able to use one of my old 11 foot ‘tankers.’ I would have asked homey to let him borrow his board, but it would be too short for your son. He may as well be riding a boogie board!
Note to Homey: Not picking on you, just concerned when I had that visual of you standing on the bus seat to reach up for the ‘stop’ cord. I thought, man, if the bus hits a pothole, you would be bouncing for the next two stops!
back to the shoes,
c’mon gang, don’t steal from your brothers…..that sucks. this could be a blessing in disguise, i think and BM agrees, that they don’t provide the stability that is needed for linemen, both offense and defense.
i think NB shoes would go a lot further, but they probably have to go with UA head to toe.
W/Doc ~ No need the ice chest, get ‘choke’ water/juice jugs, and ice from the bar tender. Tanks, anyhow!
I *finally* finished my %$&# proposal and can blog again.
It is shameful that someone would steal Keala’s shoes! I hope that person gives them back immediately, plus writes a nice apology letter. Stealing from the Warriors is horrible…stealing pieces of equipment that will help them prepare for the season is unforgivable!
Liz,
ST did not make a typo…lots of players from the NFL draft have not signed contracts yet. So, Colt is not getting paid by Washington yet and hasn’t gotten any signing bonus money. I’m guessing that his money for the donation came from the money he just made from the autograph sessions.
Kekoa – Thanks for your concern. That’s why I don’t ride the bus. no mo child restraint seating.
Hopefully Pauoa Boy will get a lot of those posters and other stuff they are passing out…Ronnie is trying to organize a Calf Call this month and it would be awesome to distribute that stuff at a Calf Call!
um Garret. XLiz was talking about ST’s sentence above where contracts is spelled “contact”. 😆
By the way, for those buying NCAA Football 2009 in the stores when it comes out on July 15:
Target is giving a free 8-pack of Coke Zero for any purchase of NCAA Football 2009.
Circuit city is giving a Free Athlon College Football Magazine with purchase of NCAA Football 2009.
I haven’t seen the ads for the other stores yet, but it looks like there will be a selection of free stuff that comes with the game based on what store you go to.
To all the Tsaikos who are on the planning committe and others who volunteered to assist, Mrs A-House and I would like to thank you for all the time and effort you have expended to plan/prepare for the 2nd annual blog gathering.
It is no simple task and hopefully all who attend will appreciate what you have done/accomplished.
homey,
Oops, I didn’t notice that typo! I just spent 8 straight hours editing my proposal and I don’t think my brain is working anymore. But since this proposal is submitted, I don’t need to be able to think for the rest of the day…
Brew808:
will you be there tomorrow night?
I wonder which players will be on the posters? Last years WVB had Juliana Sanders and Kari Gregory. The football had Rivers, Lafaele, Paepule, and H. Satele. Don’t know about soccer. Was there a soccer poster?
I know that we have a few Celtics fans here, so I found this note interesting. This short article tied the Celtics, Florida, and recruiting all together…
Garret – Yep take a break and just go with the flow!
[…] Colt gives back Within the last few years I have embraced glass as a medium and create jewelry and miniature sculptural pieces. […]
I’ve always wished I could attend the Na Koa lunches (I think that is what it is called) where the coaches talk about the past game and go over some other stuff. Plus, the food really sounds good on the reports!
It might not be a big shock, but JJ is starting a weekly Monday lunch for SMU fans just like the Na Koa lunches. The big change is that the lunches will be held *on campus* so that the students can attend. I think that is a good idea, and anything to get students more involved is good…would there be a way for the UH lunches to be held on or near campus? I’m sure that Jason and others would attend those lunches.
homey,
We’re spending the night at the house of one of our good friends here. It will be my first night off (%&$# boss!) since Friday.
Looking back at ST’s pics, McNamara reminds of of an actor but I can’t figure out what movie I saw him in or what his name is…
W/Doc,
You and UHFan808 were not there at Murphy’s during the time A-Sports mentions. so I am sure you don’t have any memory about it.
She is talking about the very first get-together less than a year into the blog. A-Sports is one of the people to attend the very first blog bash. She is “O.B.” (Original Blogger).
Got to hit the road… be back later…
Article about having experienced players at the backup QB spot discusses Colt. Amazing that Washington drafted a QB in 2007 and he was cut after playing in one preseason game! That is good for Colt because it means he doesn’t have a recently drafted QB to compete with for a roster spot.
Exercise time. I’m gonna walk in the supermarket.
KHON mentions Colt meeting with 5-year-old Joshua Miyazawa
Joshua hopes the UH star quarterback turned Washington Redskin will see the game.
“Get to meet Colt Brennan and get his autograph,” Joshua says.
And they’re set to see the pros play baseball at a Phillies game. They’ll try to hook up with another of his Hawaii sports heroes, Shane Victorino.
Oops, I did not blockquote the 2nd part of that article that I snipped. I should stop blogging I guess until my mind isn’t so tired…
Addahknowsports-
Lovely bio. Pride. said it best about you and A-joe..everything from the heart.
Now for the shoe thief: He’s probably looking at those huge boats thinking “OK, now what?” Just put ’em back! No use to you.
wreck,
thanks for the clarification, it was a motley group at best at Murphs, haha.
those were the days my friend, we thought they’d never end……
off to lunch with my bride……..heard Chuck Yeager fans are going to be attending tomorrow night, impersonating Tsaikettes….haha
Mahalo A-Sports!!!
Why would someone take Watson’s shoes? Do they contain copper?
IMPORTANT
The personalized Tsaiko glassware is very limited in quantity and absolutely beautiful! I would advise being there early ‘cuz they’ll probably be gone by 6pm. (One beer mug is MINE) 😀
Going through my e-mail I noticed that a Tsaiko sent this article to me. Thank you for the article–I would have missed the SJSU news otherwise.

DPK – I bow to you. You are in a different league. I am just humbled to be in your presence. I dare not step in your footsteps. You are the epitome of regalness (is that a word?). Babies stop crying when they hear you talk.
__________________________________________________________
WTF?! You must mean some other DPK, right?
I just read in another place that UH’s linebackers as a group may be considered among the top ten nation wide. I’m not an expert, but I have to agree. What does everyone else think.
Like the pic of the dog. Nice color “Warrior Black”. All he needs is a silver collar with green tapa triangles on it.
afternoon gang!
DPK – i agree, where did you read that?
homey – Gary Sprinkle?
DPK – I agree, you are not an expert. 😆 Was that a setup? I’m getting old and fall for those kinds of things more easily nowadays.
Loa – Gary Sprinkle is a good one but I’m thinking of a non-top billing actor. That’s okay, one day I’ll be watching a movie and I see him and I think to myself, “I’ve seen that person before”.
homey – looks like he was smoking something too
Loa – I wouldn’t know what a “smoking something look” looks like.
Brashton’s dog has orbs for eyes! 😯
xs-homey- he looks like Jeff Bridges from that angle.
or Buddy Lizama
wreck/bulla – Yep. Good times. The 12 OBs were hilarioulsy quiet that first meeting trying to figure each other out. I remember sitting next to Jason, Bulla, al, and DPK…and thinking, “Gee, Jason one young kid. Almost as young as me.” MWAHAHAHAHHAHA
Garrett…you should e-mail that story to Midori7….she’s a really big CELTICS fan…..
MWAHAHAHHAHAHAAHA
Wonderful bio, A-Sports! Looking forward to seeing you again when I get home.
Have fun at the blog party!!! Sounds like the crew did a great job of organizing & soliciting prizes.
Mahalos to Colt! Great example set for other players.
Why would someone want Keala’s shoes?! Sheesh! Give um back!
“running snap”? Wat?
XLiz – Who is Buddy Lizama?
Wreck, Dont think Wassupdoc mentions any “specific” time at Murphy’s as you state. Re-read her comment again, “Remember well the time at Murphy’s – UHFan808 was at the table too.” According to this picture,
at SteveM’s site, dated 11/17/07, Addahknowsports and Addahknowjoe. WassupDoc, UHfan808, Plus1, and Kazz were at Murphy’s. I think she means that she remembers well the time she had at Murphy’s with the
Addahknows. So according to photo, she does indeed have a memory,LOL. No harm, no foul.
http://homepage.mac.com/smurashi/photos/tvtsaikogates.html
homey – huh? i thought you went public school
hey Liz!
ST..you’re right about not stepping over the line. Addahknowsports made sure of that…just ask koakane’s left foot….MWAHAHAHAHAHA
James – I thought Jason was 30-something. Wait, I wasn’t there. Never mind.
Buddy Lizama is my sister’s classmate from Kapaa High
he’s Google-able…
Hi Loa!
ok…
hiho again!
Dober – are you a Doberman owner? Poodles are the best!
Loa – all I did was stay at home and study.
XLiz – Well he does have your name in his last name.
Loa,
I read the thing about our LBs in another blog we aren’t supposed to talk about.
Wow Dober! Pretty good at XHTML. You must visit other bb sites and forums. Welcome aboard. Should have been on earlier, you’re gonna miss a good party tomorrow, unless you are off island and couldn’t make it. Well stick around because the season is getting near!
BTW, if you are on island then come out to a CC or join the gang at tailgate! Good fun you know.
homey – at least you when study, i just stayed home
DPK – 10-4
Did anyone ever notice that Keala Watson has an ever fixed smile on his face? What a happy guy! I wish I was happy 🙁
DPK – Here is my un-expert opinion. I think the projected starters along with the other Warrior LB’s rivals that of USC’s linebackers.
Bear in mind it’s just a panglossian viewpoint.
homey:
your #145 – walking 10 yards does not qualify as exercise!!!
hey jojo – no worries, tomorrow will be a happy/special day 🙂
homey,
You’re more of an expert than, assferdammsher. I agree. I liked reading Jason’s link yesterday about the ‘Gators defense. The perfect storm is brewing…
James, Jesse:
you are tredding on very sensitive and unstable grounds (#164)
not even the Younger Bros can help you with this one!
“than me”
DPK – it also takes the beef up front that allows our linebacking corp to excel
Howzit gang, catching up…
Garret – No worries I grab whatever I can but gotta make sure I not too greedy 🙂
Kekoa – What you need me for take back?
Anyone going practice today?
jojo, this will make you happy.
A duck walks into a pharmacy and asks for a lip balm.
The pharmacist tells the duck that the lip balm is available in strawberry or plain flavor, and asks the duck which he would prefer.
After some thought, the duck says he’ll take the strawberry.
Certainly sir, says the pharmacist, and bags it for him. Now how would you like to pay – cash or credit card?
Neither says the duck. Put it on my bill!
jojo – how come no happy?
If I pull Pride. does that count?
xs-homey… so… he looks like Jeff Bridges, eh?
http://www.hollywoodsuccess.com/RockRiddleJeffBridges12152004.jpg
http://z.about.com/d/movies/1/0/2/Z/P/surfsupprem9.jpg
jojo- ((((happy hugs))))
anyone know where they normally distribute the sports schedule posters and cards?
Knock knock
homey,
that would probably qualify as isometric exercise!
who’s there?
Two birds sat on a perch. One said to the other, “Can you smell fish?”
yuk, yuk, yuk, as Jughead would say…
hey d1- how you feelin???
“I’m a ma”
d1shima – he’s on a skateboard.
it’s actually “me ma”…
Liz,
Thanks 4 askin’
Staying vertical today was a challenge, IDK how homey does it everyday.
nyuk nyuk
Came home early for stay horizontal.
Fightin’ fightin’
Gotta make ’em tomorrow…
What do you call a Hawaiian football player?
XLiz – That’s why I changed it cause then you would know.
So there are these two muffins in an oven. The first muffin shouts “Oh no, we’re going to be baked alive!” The second muffin shouts, “Oh my God, a talking muffin!”
Homey,
McNamara = William Hurt.
Warrior?
d1 – “thumbs up!”
xs-homey – jes for you:
****
Knock Knock.
Who’s there?
Ali.
Ali who?
A little old man who can’t reach the doorbell!
****
jojo- feel the love!!!
latahs.
What do you call a Hawaiian football player?
A padded “Brah”
PRIDE.!!!! THAT’S THE GUY!!! Now I can sleep good. Thank you sir.
And thank you XLiz because he does resemble the Bridges boy.
homey: I would leave Pride out of this one!
OH XLIZ, now you are going to get it!!! 😆
Interesting bio A’Sports. I’m trying to get my better half up to speed on Warrior football. She’s getting there and really enjoyed last season and the Sugar Bowl.
John Kerry walks into a bar. The bartender says, “Hey John, why the long face?”
from post #72
Al–
I have no idea what a “running snap” is…. but somewhere in the football lingo, I must of heard the word “running” and “snap” must of come from that phrase that June Jones used to use… something about snap and clear. Steve used to tell me about that when I used to tell him a problem, and he used to refer to June Jones saying that snap thing.
…and Papa Leahey’s favorite.
I was driving to work this morning and rear-ended somebody.
Out from the other car jumps a midget!
He walks over and says, “I’m not happy!”
I say, ” Oh really, then which one are you?”
ah! LOL thanks guys, you always make me feel better…
I like laughing in the corner by myself 🙂
Knock Knock ….
Who’s there?
Podagee Burgular
Koakane,
I’m planning to bring somethin’ for the “culcha” table. Can you tell me what I need to do? Thanks.
oops, I mean, I stay laughing in the corner
A set of jumper cables walks into the bar and orders a drink. The bartender looks him up and down and says; “Okay, I’ll serve you one drink, just don’t try to start anything!” 😆
Addahknowsports,
Thanks for sharing. Really fun and memory-provoking for me as I recalled my fun childhood days on the Big Island as I read about your childhood days.
Funny thing about you meeting the love of your life at work. As I read about that, I couldn’t help but remember a saying my aunty shared with me and my wife, “Never get your honey where you get your money”. A saying that held true for some people I know, but I’m surely glad it didn’t apply to you guys! Never met you guys, nor anyone else here at the blog, but look forward to putting faces to blog names tomorrow!
😆 ❗
This is the only one I can remembah’:
Queschen: What you call a skeleton in a closet?
Ansah: Da World’s Podagee hide-n-seek champion.
Dober,
I guess you are right about that. But the subject was A-Sport’s Bio and I didn’t see no other reference to Murphy’s in her Bio other than that first meeting. Just sticking to the flow of the blog…
Great find on SteveM’s site as you seem to have known or remembered that event as well. I guess being one of the “OBs”, my thinking is a little different. I give you props Dober, you pay attention and I am curious what made you go look it up.
You are right, No harm on foul… or as we used to say before… One snap, clear!

How does DPK walk through the woods?
He takes the Tsaiko-path.
A-House…I know. I’ll probably hear it tomorrow…MWAHHAHAHAHAHA
I didn’t know DPK walked in the woods. for a time there many moons ago, i hear he lurked in a magical forest at kapalama hts., but would have to get verification from kekoa.
as far as it goes for pride and myself, he was in the cubicle next to me in the library for as much as i can remember.
countdown is less than 27 hours…….bbbbbb—bllllloooooggggg, blast
Pauoa Boy – I had to read the words aloud.

A man with a cucumber in his ear, a carrot in his nose, and a tomato in his eye walks into the doctor’s office. He says, “Doc, I’m not feeling well. What’s wrong with me?”
The doctor says, “First of all, you’re not eating right…”
Addaknowsports – Kudos to you…A+ for a composition well written, perfect grammar and spelling but most importantly…the events in your life were expressed beautifully with humor and sincerity. We are truly blessed to add you and Addaknowjoe to our group of dear friends. Please, please assure our ohana that all if forgiven for taking your seats on the bus returning the Tsaikos to Makino Chaya after the UNLV game last season. BTW, the “crystal skull” in my possession will be revealed to the Tsaiko world tomorrow night. Special showing for Tsaikettes only…be there or be square.
Colt Brennan – Hope you are reading this post and the other posts from other Tsaikos. Mahalo nui loa to you for your very, very generous donation to Na Koa. Just when I think I can’t love you more… You continue to make me proud and happy.
Pride. – Who is the nut-so impersonating you?? Is he part of the real world?? Pick on Pride. and you are messing with DA BIG HURT !! Decease and desist immediately!!
Keala Watson – Hope you get your shoes back. C’mon guy…whoever borrowed them…just do the right thing…return them asap!!
See you at the big blog bash tomorrow evening. Like BG said, come early for the best selection of mementos of this signature event!
homey, “It’s not fun to fool mother nature!”
Seriously, I wouldn’t mind winning a gift certificate to Murphy’s or Camellia…
“Panglossian”? I admit that I had to google that.
Make sure that muu muu is moth ball smell free. Wouldn’t want people to get nauseated.
Hey, Stretch resembles that remark.
homey, moth ball is my fave perfume!
Where do you find a cat with no legs?
Right where you left it.
Thanks (Jesse) James. See you soon.
gigi,
the last time homey smelled moth balls, he had to hold them by their wings….ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
homey,
how do you make a cat bark?
put lighter fluid on it, throw a match on it, and it goes ‘wooooof’
eh, falsie,
now that is sick…..but homey would like it 🙂
yeah, right, bulla, ewwwwww! haha
Bulla – sure must take a lot of male moths to make gigi’s perfume!
i would like to stand up for my lil buddy Homey, although he bears the brunt of much of the misaligned humor on this site, he is a good guy.
despite being the walking target, he has always had a great attitude, and it’s like duck on a water’s arse….let it roll
by the way, that’s a bullaism, the duck on the water…..see if Homey gets it….the joke i mean.
anyway, Homey, stand tall, and i’d bod down, but most likely would hit my head on the curb above you.
bow not bod…homey has the bod, the guns, the looks and the hair
he is the total package
Mrs. A-House….can I see the “crystal skull” too??? MWAHAHAHAHAAHA
OK, guys, I know you are all dying to win the prize of DPK’s kiss, so I’ll give you a hint as to the color of my muumuu —
It’s the muumuu I wore in Stretch’s golf video!
Al, this contest is for real, right???
Ok, Bulla, what do you want? you mean water off a ducks back.
I guess pink and that’s my final answer.
WASSUP TSAIKOS AND MY CUZ KANAKS!!!
Wish I could be at da bash menyana but I going be on Lanai inspecting da red dirt. Is won dirty job but somebody gotta do ‘um.
FP, no need for inspection. I can tell you right now that the dirt is RED.
I was going to guess blue with black trim but thought better to go with my first instincts.
Homey, looks like you are the only contestant so maybe you win da KISS by default.
gigi,
for Homey, the prize is not a prize but more of a dream come true. you can tell by his numerous responses as entries into the contest. ok, what the heck, Homey, YOU WIN. there done and done
haha, DPK, lather on the lipgloss and start practicing those smooches!
Homey can hardly wait!
Going back to the blog, KW reminds me of Randall “Tex” Cobb.
I’m honored but I defer, please donate my prize to jojo. That will make her very happy.
Hey A-spots!

Need the Tsiako’s to explain to me the true meaning of the football terminology. I not going find out any other way because, I am not invited to the clinic. You are welcome to erase my interpretation and put down the right one. Thanks to all of you true football tsaikos. Please help me out so that I can get a better understanding of the game, when i talk to Jason next time.

Hi jojo. You should ask Jason about Maryann(e)
iiiiiiiiiiiiii saapose you feefle tink it is berry punny to ish let de doog out!
Pride. – Awesome list! I think #7 is correct. 😆
…and who said Pride. no more sense of humor? I like #35! 😆
homey, she is gonna be self coscious now and cover-her ears up…. 🙂
No worries UHFan808, I got your ears….errrr back. MWAHAHAHAHHAHA
Pride, I agree with #10, but #35? Who da heck is Pono Ma’a?
Hey, who’s the imposter who posted as me and said Midori7 likes the Celtics…that’s an absolute falsehood and I won’t stand for it….so I think I’ll sit.
Hello everyone. First time poster, long time lurker. Sounds like you all are going to have fun tomorrow night. Wish I could be there. Oh well, maybe next time.
Is Pono Ma’a another name for Leonard Peters? If so, I agree with #35.
Wow I couldn’t lurk anymore with all the chit chat going on and after reading Pride’s list I saw that #25 is something we should place in our bylaws as Tsaikos…
Party is going to be great! Jojo… Maryanne might be an “OB” but not the same one we talked about… I think that “OB” stands for “One Braddah”…
Okay gang. I have to run more errands for tomorrow. Hope to get back online tonight. I won’t be available by e-mail so if anyone needs to get in contact with me just call my cell. See you guys later.
Awwwwww, A-sports, I love, love, love that bio!
Big {{{{{hug!}}}}} to you and A-Joe.
Just love those Addahknows!
Hey Esme. You’re looking HOT!
Esme,
If you don’t know them… are you sure you love them? I figured you would know them by now.
Shifting gears a bit …
Uhhhh, paging … Liz? Pride? A-Joe? All other singers …? I need a bit of advice here …
I woke up this morning with … a scratchy throat and nose issues. For me, this usually means a cold coming within 24-48 hours, which means … voice problems. I’m thinking: NO! This can’t be happening! Not when I’ve got a date with the Tsaiko All-Star Band to keep! I’ve already lost a few notes off the top end of the range and shudder to think how much worse it can get.
So here is my question: Do any of you singers have any good remedies to keep the voice clear when you get sick? I’m a-panickin’ here…
😡
What? Who is this?
I’m pretty sure that is NOT something Pride would say. Hee!
Reveal yourself!
(No, not like THAT …)
Wreck, don’t confuse me today. I’m so sleep deprived, it doesn’t take much.
Esme. Just take good care of your cold. Keep talking to a minimum. Adrenaline will help you reach notes that you can’t reach today. Suck on a lemon.
Esme. Sleep is the most important thing.
Esme,
I didn’t talk to you… are you sure it was me? You might want to check the post again just to be safe.
Some saimin with the hot mustard will help then follow it up with some tea if you really need it. I like to eat bread before I get on stage but that is just me.
Ohh did I mention the WreckinEyez (the actual music group which I bummed the screen name from two years ago) drummer will also be there to play your songs esme, pride, dean?
pride……looks like my list too.
you forgot…
41. shotgun….what you place next to your future son-in-law’s temples when you find out your daughter stay hapai.
42. scramble…..what your future son-in-law is doing while you look for #41.
43. pass….what stretch assumes he has on given nights.
44. interception…..what stretchette does to cancel #43. on stretch.
bwahahaha. I like those Al.
45. running snap…..what wena depicts her husband does while eluding her black whip.
hey, pride. this is fun.
Esme-
Quick!
-Li Hing Mui and Lemon. Suck on it like there’s no tomorrow!
-Hot Tea! Hot Tea!
-Absolutely No Talking! Nothing! Naddah!
-(Old Filipino remedy) Place a cold compress, lightly soaked in bagaong, completely over your closed left eye. Hold it there for three 15 minute intervals. DO NOT OPEN YOUR EYE! Rinse with luke warm water when you’re done.
If no work by tomorrow:
-you’re gonna have to sing, “Fire” like a raspy Kim Carnes (Bette Davis Eyes)
-you can honestly give me the “stink eye!”
Umm … guhhhhh … no, wot, not you, this one?:
And Prideperiod, was that really you? Or another “Pride”?
OK, now I officially have a headache. 😡
Umm … guhhhhh … no, wot, not you, this one?:
And Prideperiod, so was that really you? Or am I talking now to another “Pride”?
OK, now I officially have a headache. 😡
Sorry that got posted twice in slightly diff forms.
Man, I really hate this blog software! Grrr….
thanks pride. coming from you is a supreme compliment.
meanwhile…..are we surprised that gigi don’t know pono ma’a?
46. Hail Mary… … play you call when you survive #41
47. Coin Toss… Going cheap at Rock-Za
Thanks, A-Joe. I WISH I could go on vocal rest. But then who else will yell “Time out!!!” at the kids every 7.5 minutes?
Okkaaaaay. So when I’m pau singing and everyone yells, “Get off the stage! You stink!” … then I’ll blame you. 😉
48. Unsportsman like conduct… …Playing golf in a Muumuu
49. Spike… …Next thing to grab when you can’t find #41
OK, Al, I googled Pono Ma’a. He is 43 years old and was a UH volleyball player. Earned $12,502 in 7th place. Is 6’3″ tall.
Love his height.
But too old.
Esme dahling…if you don’t sing, then the band will have to play “Lion Sleeps Tonite” one more time. Are you sure you want that to happen to all our guests?
50. Off-sides… …how your opu hang after a cattle call
I goin get da stink eye at da bash. A-Joe, why you give Esme da secret to da stink eye?
51. Pass interference… …when some one tell you “no fut!”
😳
OHHH, I get it now. You were talking about how wilted I am in this heat and humidity. I get it. Yes, dang hot. 😆
i was enroute this morning/mid day and just caught up. well, i actually i skipped over a lot.
but the important issue is to have a cc on 7-30-08

and since this one is in honor of you girl, i got your lunch. sorry, ajoe you are on your own. (mwahahaha)
52. Lead block… …the first few guys who try to fill up a small table at a cattle call before certain guest arrive.
gigi….why am i not surprised that you told the answer to the contest while people were still going to submit their guess?!
aieesooos. you girl. you need to have more toys to play with during the day.
just for that, i guess you win and you going get one of dpk’s world famous english bulldog slobbering kisses at the blog bash tomorrow.
Actually I was referring to this –

so what time is the party starting anyway???
the four of us couldn’t agree on the time this at this morning’s breakfast muu call.
duffer, whitey, keyton, and yours truly. hahaha. i guess we’ll just show up.
57. Reverse… …#54 but you are the guy in #41
starts at 6… doors open 5:30…
58. Double Reverse… …like #54 but A-House joins the group and the guy who got your daughter hapai has a first name of Herman or Karl.
oh and gg…..what? too old for you? then what you doing with mr. gigi who is twenty years older than ex-male model pono ma’a???
Esme-
If you cannot sing, you gotta dance the Tinikling! I going bring two bamboo sticks and two 2×4’s.
You can dance the modern version if you like.
starts at 6 but doors open at 530?
whew…..one of those go figure deals huh? no wonder we got confused this morning.
59, punt. is what happens when you think you going fart, but kukai comes out.
Howzit gang, just got back from practice and from what I’ve observed from the QB’s is that Funaki is definitely #1 right now, hands down.
UHfan808 – Looking forward to meeting you too and your twin 🙂
correction to 59, punt should be “fake hand off”.
Good evening, Tsaiko-Nation and Tsai-Meister.
Just got back awhile ago from a long and hot day. Florida is broiling right now. Takes forever to catch up if you miss the day.
Addahknowsports,
Excellent bio. A well written story about a great relationship, as well as Fanship. Enjoyable to read and a great example of what makes a great couple. Thanks for sharing.
Once again Colt shows who he is and he hasn’t even made any real money yet. Just a great son of Hawaii.
DPK, et al,
Have to totally agree that our Linebacker corp is top ten nationally for sure, from the seniors to the freshmen, we’ll be great there for years to come.
whatsup gang! rotflmffao!
how bout some of these –
run and shoot, muddle huddle, onside kick, bear crawls, suicides, draw, chop block, clip, inteference, holding, dive, extra point 😆
whitey…..so what then is a punt?
Esme- If home remedies no work, change the song to Janis Joplin’s “Piece of My Heart” and let ‘er rip…
My remedy – Airborne every 4 hours, 5K mg Vitamin C and Zinc tabs.
Korean gimchi soup with tofu- as hot as I can stand it.
LOTS OF SLEEP!!!
i beg to differ….
#33 should be #59. try check and see if you agree?

Nice review of Lofton and Javonte Taylor.
While the Warriors don’t use a true tight end, 6-3, 200-pound sophomore Daniel Lofton will be a big target at the Y. After signing with Cal and taking a redshirt year, he sat out last year to be ready to roll for the Warriors and potentially be the team’s most dangerous all-around receiver. He has the size, next-level speed, he was a California state high school champion sprinter, and limitless upside. He’s the son of NFL Hall of Famer, James Lofton.
The 5-9, 185-pound Taylor runs a 4.2 40 and should become a home-run hitter as both a receiver and a return man. He was a California State sprint champion who’ll be used in a variety of spots to get his speed on the field. Oregon wanted him, and Hawaii got him.
if dustin blount makes it thru…..he will open eyes…i am told.
I almost said: Yeah, that’s a good idea!
But then…
1) Yes, you’d have to learn even more words, and I already feel bad you’ve been going nuts learning the Kealii part.
2) Plus I still would have to sing Robi’s higher melody part on the last reprise, because I just s*ck at singing harmony. Although I guess that wouldn’t be too bad because at least I wouldn’t be singing alone ….
Hmmm… 😀
Is that the one where razor blades are attached to the sticks to see if the dancers jump higher?
Wha…?
I didn’t realize Lofton was only a sophmore. This could be good.
UH got a lot of pick ups, Dowling, LWJ, and many others, as a result of coaches who are no longer with the program. Will this continue?
Esme is one of my favorite posters!
Esme, you know you’re my favorite, but it sounded like you were “pulling an Esme” in advance. So, if you do a preliminary Esme, it’s a PrEsme.
One other thing: 400th!!
401!
Javonte sounds like another M. Washington. I hope MW breaks out this year. I know he is super fast, but does he have D. Bess quickness? DB is showing how North/South speed may not be as important as quickness, route running and hands.
Have a great celebration tomorrow!
Did the Muddle-Huddle start with the Running Snap? Someone should confirm it with Coach Tomey.
Wreck, you’re on a roll with the UNKO lists and now the PRIDE lists. Nuff already. I am getting listed out! haha
And, eh, word to the wise: I can run farther than 4 feet. Secret is the SAS sandals I always wear.
It’s elementary Watson. Could the mystery of the missing shoes be solved by looking at yesterday’s pictures??
Yes. Coach Tomey-take a bow!
BTW, my hat is off to HA columnist Lee Cataluna. How in the world does she manage to write 3 columns per week plus a 60,000 rough draft of a novel while caring for her 2 year old son — who loves to enter her room and press the DELETE button on her computer?
Babysitting my 7 month old granddaughter has me completely pooped!
60,000 WORD rough draft of a novel
ST- I tried to tell you about the typo “contact” back at #123 … and I left a VM on your phone this morning about something else. er… I HOPE that was your phone…
GG: Quality counts. I don’t read Lee Cataluna.
Wait a minute. Doesn’t Esme work from home also? My hat is off to her as well.
Bonar, I sent my new book to Cataluna. I hope she reviews it — favorably. If negative, don’t bother, Lee. lol
I think everyone should write a memoir for posterity to read and treasure. I sure wish my grandparents had done so! Can you imagine reading about how a picture bride felt when she laid eyes on her future husband who was 13 years older than she was? Was there romance after marriage? Or was it strictly business?
Dick Tomey’s muddle huddle – Offense runs a play… QB goes up to the line makes like tying shoes… Hikes ball to TB on left side… Classic!
Just caught Brada Jimmy Donovan on L & L – yo, whoever sees brada tomorrow please ask em fo drop wun rice bag of weight we love the man too much. A total 180 from our former pick one – Fumbler, Down Goes Frazier, I get wun olympic gold medal I no need do nahthing fo you people, Gimme my $300k later suckers. John McSherry/Eric Gregg flashbacks…..
Wun last Tomey story cherry on da sundae – Circa 82-83 team is totally going through da motions. Calls a TO – brings the WHOLE TEAM to da 50 yard right by the first row of fans. Totally chews out the whole team with every 4 letter word in da book. Whole bunch of fans within earshot roars it’s approval. Needless to say team kicks okole fo da rest of da game…
Interesting to see that Michigan is paying the majority of Rich Rodriguez’s buyout clause.
Wreck….
#63 Holding is actually what one does after eating spoiled bagaong…if dats even possible…MWAHAHAHAHA
#58 Double Reverse – that’s pulling a koa-mahu
#70 Bull Rush – what happens when steak is on the menu of a Tsaiko Buffet
Amazing how so many people (including news agencies) believed this hoax by a Nebraska fan.
I loved the muddle huddle…such a cool play!
I remember a game against a big-name school (USC?) where a WR went towards the sideline but stopped before going completely out of bounds. He blended in with the UH players on the sidelines and then snuck downfield, catching a long pass. That was executed so well!
It’s almost 8:30 pm, and D1 showed up on my doorstep to collect my muumuu for the culture table. Thanks, D1. Sorry I couldn’t deliver it to you today as I had to babysit.
howzit howzit Tsaikos.
an pass da word to da THIEF,
TAKE BACK KEALA’S SHOES..
Its interfering with TEAM!!!
junk junk junk
um… what are we wearing tomorrow? Tsai-ko black?
yep.
wow – d1shima is pulling super duty… he hasn’t been feeling well.
tanks, James
D1 is super-dedicated to the Tsaikos. Hubby offered to deliver my muumuu to D1’s residence after work, but D1 said he would pick it up at my home. I didn’t know he was ill. He seemed fine wearing shorts and a Tshirt.
Wow, first I see that Esme is ill and now D1? I just got over being sick but still battling a weak voice/cough…
Must be something in the air…
That or the LACK of UH Warrior Football and UH sports in general is starting to take a physical toll on the Tsaikos…
ATTENTION: Sick Tsaikos w/sore throat.
1/4 cup of honey and 1/4 cup of vinegar.
Good luck!
A quick reminder about the KAILUA RELAY FOR LIFE this Saturday:
A few months ago, Jason encouraged Warrior Beat regulars to help his efforts to raise funds for the Relay For Life event held on campus – in fact, at Cooke Field.
At the time, we said that we would be taking part in the Kailua Relay For Life – it starts on Saturday, July 12, around 3 pm and ends on Sunday, July 13 at 7 am at Kailua Beach Park in the section opposite Buzz’s on the road going into Lanikai.
There’ll be entertainment, food, games, talk story time, and, of course, the opportunity to take part in the Relay itself – all in a location often named as one of the finest beaches in the world.
Here’s how you can support the Kailua event even if you don’t attend in person. Please make a donation to honor someone who has dealt with cancer or to recognize someone who’s had a job promotion or a birthday or graduation in the family or whatever needs to be celebrated.
Make your check payable to the American Cancer Society. If you want it to go to the Windward Unit of the American Cancer Society, then note on the memo line it is for the Kailua Relay For Life. If you want it to go to the larger organization, just leave the memo line blank.
You can mail your check to the American Cancer Society, Windward Unit, 130 Kailua Road, Suite 102B, Kailua, HI 96734. Or you can give it to DrDoc or me at the party on Thursday and we’ll deliver all the checks to the Windward Unit in one bundle.
Mahalo for your support!
Garret re:417
I saw that and thought it would be nice if SMU ponied up some of the money for JJ’s damages clause. I read in another article that Michigan also included a $4 million damages clause in its contract with Rodriguez.
I believe I mailed a check to the Amer Cancer Soc when Jason was handling the relay. Always a good cause. My dad died of colon cancer.
Brandon Jennings, one of the top high school point guards in the nation, will be a one-and-done player next year. Except that instead of playing one year of college basketball at Arizona, he will play his one year in Europe reportedly for a six figure salary. I wonder if he would consider this option if he was academically eligible to enroll at Arizona. See link above.
Gigi: Mahalo for your support. My mother died at age 32 a week before my 9th birthday of complications from breast cancer while my dad died of liver cancer in 1980. Feel as if I have a huge block of stone hanging over my head.
i’m back!
Friday Night Lights was discussed here by several people. I’m not sure if their fans know about how some actors got cut out of the show recently.
Free play links time. Please ignore my next 5 posts if you do not want the off-topic stuff.
Hyndai is releasing the first hybrid car to be powered by liquid petroleum gas and use advanced Lithium Polymer batteries. It sounds really cool but will only be available in South Korea next year.
Interesting reviews of the 3G iPhone. The NY Times gave a positive review, but noted that AT&T only provides 3G service in limited areas…10 states have NO 3G coverage and 16 states have it in 3 cities or less. Also, it has no Bluetooth and cannot be used as a GPS navigation device in cars even though it has a GPS system included in it:

The Wall Street Journal has a nice review of the 3G iPhone. They point out that all 3G phones have short battery life when using 3G service, but only the iPhone doesn’t have replacement batteries. The work-around that this reviewer found was to use WiFi instead or even to turn off the phone when not using it. It is good that call quality is better on the 3G network:

USA Today has another interesting 3G iPhone review. They point out that the backing for the 2G iPhone was metal and the backing for the 3G iPhone is plastic because plastic is better for signal reception:

Family Promise of Hawai’i is an innovative program set up to help families with children escape homelessness. Its mission is to mobilize existing community resources to help families experiencing homelessness transition to sustainable independence.
This is done by developing, training, and supporting a network of interfaith congregations who host families quarterly. Each host site provides a safe place to sleep, good food, and generous hospitality for one week at a time before moving on to another host site. In addition, other nearby religious communities which may not have the facilities for overnight stays join in as helping congregations.
During the day, guests work, pursue employment, attend school, or enroll in job training. A Family Center provides access to phones, mail, fax, a copier, showers, and laundry facilities. The program provides transportation to & from the host sites and the Family Center.
In March 2006, the Windward Network & Family Center opened while the Honolulu Network, which opened in July 2007, will be celebrating its first birthday on July 19. Three to five families (up to 14 people) can be accommodated by each network at any given time.
Maintaining cell phone towers might be the most dangerous job in the US, if you go by the fatality stats (including 5 deaths in 7 days by people working on cell phone towers!).
Hi chawan_cut! I’m glad that you are back in Hawaii…you sure have been traveling all over lately!
This latest free play link is related to what chawan_cut does for all Warrior fans:
Google is having trouble selling ads on YouTube.
Father and daughter (in the Atlanta area, but they are of Pakistani descent) argue over her recent arranged marriage…she wanted out of the marriage and her Father killed her.

Thanks to Colt for the donation. I don’t remember who said it, but someone made a good point earlier — he hasn’t signed his contract yet, and so that money might be from his autograph signings. If that’s the case, even more kudos to him. I’m not big on paid autographs, but considering what Colt had to go through these past three years, I think he deserves every penny.
I can’t believe someone “borrowed” Keala’s shoes. I hope they get returned, just like the football helmets. Give it back!
addahknowsports is one of the sweetest ladies on this blog that I know. I’m just sad that I’ll be missing the Phuket Thai cattle call; I’ll be arriving in Madison, WI that day for my math conference. I guess I’ll have to go to Phuket Thai some other time by myself. 😀
And if you didn’t support my campaign for Relay for Life before, please do so now if possible. If you need reasons to do so, please read this letter. And once again, thank you to those that contributed before.
Good evening Tsaikos and Tsaikettes and night-owls on the mainland-
Thank you again for your comments! I am very happy to share with you all.
D1 and Esme-
I hope you feel better by tomorrow. Rest up, my friends.
..and a shot of whiskey. Haha. Who was it that gave me a similar remedy last month when I was sick? I think it was another kind of alcohol. Hmmm…
Curt- (#213)
See if your wife wants to join us at Heather MacMackin’s football clinic if she hasn’t already signed up. I think going be good fun.
Onarock- (#222)
It’s interesting that everyone across the state has similar small kid time experiences.
“Never get your honey where you get your money”. That’s an interesting saying also. Never heard it before. Actually I didn’t work at the sign shop very long. I soon after I got another job. A-joe and I found that a lot of things that happened in our history has a lot to do with timing. There were a lot of small windows where our paths crossed and had we been one or two steps too fast or slow, the “us” would never have been. Interesting, yeah, how it makes one think that things happen for a reason.
I am looking forward to meeting both you and Curt tomorrow night.
Al- (#359)
Wow, Al! Thanks! I do feel very honored! Looking forward to it!
LizK- (#385)
Wow! I am feeling very special. Thank you! I am curious to see who comes out of the woodwork.
Hi chawan_cut-
Welcome home! See ya tomorrow!
gigi,
Is there a certain de rigeuer for Tsick calls?
Kazz,
OK, I’ve been watching these two cups of honey and vinegar now for a while and I still feel like “Fumbler”. Now what?
A-sports,
Howzit! OK, mebbe I try your way…
Not sure about wat kine alcohol? Das okay, I go keep trying ’em all til I find one dat work 😉
heheheh
D1, haha, Tsickies usually bundle up with flannel pajamas and a heavy blanket. Nah, sorry. What are your symptoms? Is it a cold or the flu?
I feel so tired right now. Been waking up at 4-4:30 am this week. Trying to force myself to go to bed around 11-11:30 pm and get up later so I can last the night at the party tomorrow.
Hubby wants to leave at 8 pm, but I told him, “Wot?! crazy or wot?!”
Jason-
You gotta talk to Uncle Al. That man makes things happen.
Thanks for the sweet compliment (and thanks again for the serenade at R&R K-call)!
so, sports, you not gonna reveal how long you been married?
So I call gigi and say, “Hey, I’m just a few minutes away.”
“Okay,” she says.
So after more than a few minutes of driving up and down her DARK street looking for, oh, IDK, maybe a porch light left on…I am finally able to make out the shape of a split A/C unit in front of one of the houses and decide to take my chances.
Stroke of luck!
Da muumuu is secure….
Oh, dang. Mistake on the blockquote.
D1, mea culpa! Didn’t realize you couldn’t see the numbers on the mail box. Should’ve turned on the light in the carport. Dang, very inconsiderate of me.
Last night, the street light in front of my house konked out for some reason. Copper theft or just a bad light bulb? Who do we call to repair it?
Jason,
Thank you for yesterday’s recap on Kelli’s blog to inform the uninformed.
I repeat…
d1-
Easy does it (on the booze)! BG is providing designated driver service FROM the party…not TO the party. You need some rest so stop reading the blog and go sleep.
Gosh, thanks, gigi. Most people totally underestimate how difficult it is to work at home at the same that you’re caring for small kids. So, mahalo. 😀
gigi,
no problem. Tsaikos persevere!
re: your street light
Maybe you can tell da mayor tomorrow….oh, sorry, I heard he probably won’t be there. Maybe he is waiting for a better transit method to UH? 😉
101. unnecessary roughness… …Not releasing the choke hold when someone taps out.
#500!
Oh look! Its Esme!
This must be the Tsick Ward.
Heard you going be on “Fire” tomorrow, Esme.
gigi- (#450)
That question should be a Tsaiko trivia question. Maybe they’ll give a prize away for the best answer tomorrow night. Hahaha. Come talk to me tomorrow night.
Gosh, thanks, bonar! I have no idea what I did to deserve to have my picture displayed on your wall … I hope it’s an attractive one!
(Ya know I’m just kidding.)
Wreck and al – thanks for the laughs.
Esme, d1, and whoever feels below par, take care. But then again, Esme is a carrier.
d1, if it’s being sung in the company of true-blue Hawaii fans, then I believe the proper pronunciation is:
“Fi-ah.”
😉
Esme, I totally agree. Plus, I always told my friends, “Why have kids if you aren’t going to take care of them? Why give them to a stranger to raise?”
Ah, well, my daughter loves her career as a math teacher. Plus she has a mortgage, so…. I am here to babysit.
People, be ready to be mESMErized tomorrow!
A-sports,
No worry. j/k about the booze.
I going listen to da Coach and go back to bed soon.
(bumbai I going get stomped on by the heavy-footed author of today’s most-awesome bio!)
How come wen Esme pops in all of a sudden – dere’s homey!?!
Hmmm….
sumtin fo’ ponder as I drift off to sleep…
Oyasumina-tsai.
homey,
good one with the mESMErizing .
what could you do with my name?
wait, nvm, i shouldn’t have asked.
man, i thought south carolina was hot and humid.
what’s going here?
or maybe it’s because i had free a/c in the hotel and just a fan now.
Don’t worry, d1-
I’ll tread carefully where tsick tsaikos are concerned. BTW, you’re still reeeeeading…
chawan_cut: You’re welcome.
Oh great!
I took an Allegra tab awhile ago and NOW I read about the side effects which include: INSOMNIA!!!
….and from a site that asks for real experiences
chawan – welcome back!
d1shima – stalking?
A-Sports – don’t go near Esme, she’s highly contagious.
I feel tewwibul.
I don’t know why….
but it’s really bothering me….
and no one cares…
increased anxiety, strange dreams, feelings of hopelessness and despair!?!?
that is enough to make you wear Gigi’s muumuu…
d1shima – take a viagra. At least your mind will be on something else for 4 hours.
I couldn’t wear gigi’s muumuu. It would be too baggy on me.
Wreck,
I already tried it on.
Now I feel WORSE!
hey, that muumuu will get you a wet kiss from DPK if your answer about the color is correct.
homey,
but what will Mrs. d1shima be doing for those 4 hours???
We all know the color is blue. jojo will be getting the kiss.
Oh wundahful.
Another side effect: colorblindness!
Homey-
Well tomorrow night Esme is going to be breathing fi-ah on all of us. j/k Esme.
d1-
There there… we wuv you. You are starting to sound like Las Vegas.
d1shima – Does she have gifted hands like A-Sports?
how do you know I didn’t switch the muumuus before D1 picked it up?
I stapled the top of the bag so he can’t peek in.
Wreck,
What time you getting there tomorrow?
Hiya!
I am having fun (yeah right) moving iMac info from Palm desktop and Outlook to native mac programs and NOT Entourage, which doesn’t sync to the Treo. Now moving Thunderbird files to Mail… and wondering how to put my mailing lists on Address Book or Mail…
sheesh.
So I had to turn on my old laptop to blog!
…and those staples were sharp!
Good thing I have a staple remover
A-Sports – remember the KC when I mistakenly accused you of lipsyncing? Well that’s the time at least 3 Tsaiko’s got sick. Most of them were sitting in the same booth as Esme.
And now Garret’s post says the new iPhone has no bluetooth. Great.
I dunno if I want to recommend all this Mac stuff to my boss…
homey,
No basis for comparison.
But she can do tinikling!
“You feel as if everyone should write a book before they die, but their book is already written. The pages live within those they’ve touched.” –William Shue (1962-1988)
gigi – we all know that you don’t have a green muumuu. You are probably gonna wear a black one tomorrow. So that only leaves a purple or blue muumuu and you most likely put the one you used in Stretch’s golf practice video of you in the bag.
xs-homey, off early tonight, eh?
HI ESME!!
HI SPORTS!! You know, after Heather’s seminar you might have to change yer handle to AhDOknowsports!
William Shue — what a short lifespan!
Hi J! That is an extraordinary quote!
homey, you should see my closet — so many muus of all kinds of colors. Yes, I do have a green muu – a shorty one, which I sometimes wear to bed.
Good Evening Tsaikos!!
Too tired to go through everyone’s posts from today. Time for me go sleep and rest up for tomorrow night.
For the committee guys, thanks for everyone’s help, I am sure everything will work out well and if we forgot anything, screw it, it’s too late. Enjoy the party!!
XLiz – I rearranged my schedule so I can make it tomorrow. Can’t miss you and the rest of the vaunted singers.
Hey, LIz, I didn’t get any phone messages.
Well, unless you called my work cell, which I haven’t used in a while since I lost the charger.
But if you e-mail me, I’ll send you my personal cell number.
Same goes for the rest of you.
Uh oh. I think Esme’s getting a bad rep. I don’t think was her, Homes. We were all hugging each other on the way out. Could have been anybody.
gigi – I’ll pass on the closet. I can’t stand moth ball smell. 😆
Wow. We topped 500.
I am planning to get there around 2… lots to setup. Bass and Drums should be there around the same time…. Maybe get some practice in.
A-Sports – You’re a good buddy. It was Esme. 😆 Me and koakane didn’t get sick. Must be the chicken gizzards we ate.
Addaknowsports:
It was her. I’ve been coughing all day.
It’s the Hug of Death.
It’ll be a new entry in Webster’s.
Wreck – I’ll give you a call tomorrow when I’m in the SSC area. I’ll be wondering around since I’m getting dropped off.
Thanks to the False and Koakane clans for showing up today.. 500+ post.
Lots of excitement tomorrow!!!
J- (#494)
Nice.
LizK- (496)
Thanks for the confidence!
Not sure if this was announced or not but just in case….
For drinks, there will be beer, water, juice and some soda available. Everyone is allowed to bring in their own coolers with their drink of choice if not one of those being avaialble. To be safe, please put ice before coming to the room.
Food is going to be a heavy pupus, NOT dinner so please eat accordingly during the day. We got the most food possible with the budget constraints we had. We hope that everyone understands this now and no need repeat this later.
Doors will open at 530 to start checking in, checking out memorabilia, buy more raffle tickets and purchase Tsaiko items. The program will start about 6 and pupu line opens at 630pm.
I think that’s it, I going sleep now and will post last minute stuff tomorrow.
Homey, Yah call or I’ll call you if I get there sooner. I know koakane wants to start drinking around 2… But then again we all knew that.
William Shue, the late brother of actors Elisabeth and Andrew Shue, died in in a freak accident during a family vacation.
ST- (#508)
lol. 🙂
A-Sports – No matter to me if you know or don’t know the intricacies of football. All that matters is that you are one of many that have allowed me to experience life and that no dart board will last long if you can hit it.
Wreck,
I’ll try to get there early.
Some practice would be good.
The new iPhone has bluetooth, just not bluetooth stereo for your headphones. So hands-free earpieces, yes. Bluetooth headphones for listening to iTunes and movies, no.
Wreck – I won’t be there that early, I’ll call you.
ST- ok… it was your work cell…. will email.
Okay, are we all gonna bus’ out da deep thoughts now?
d1shima – You start.
Well….
Addahknowsports,
Re: #445. Thanks for inviting my wife, Meg, to Heather McMackin’s function. I tried earlier to get her to go. But, she’ll go only if I go. And, I don’t to dress up like a wahine or borrow a muu muu from Gigi. My legs are too hairy and I don’t want to shave them.
So, you’ll have to meet her and give it a shot. She’s shy with strangers. When she gets comfortable, watch out. You won’t be able to get a word in. 🙂 Ha-ha. Take care and see you tomorrow. I’m off to dream land now.
Almost time to adjust my sleep pattern…like it matters.
LizKauai — the new iPhone3G has bluetooth. It also is wireless phone and has WI-FI. See:
http://www.apple.com/iphone/specs.html
I am now seriously thinking of getting one. 😐
A deep thought….
This blog gave us friends and people we would not have even thought about becoming friends with.
Usually after college and other than work… We don’t meet close friends regularly. Imagine who you would be hanging out with if it wasn’t a Tsaiko…
Deeper thought….
Would Gigi have friends being a homebody?
Good night to all of the committee members that have really gone all out in prepping for this event. Tomorrow is the final push. It is going to be a great partay. I feel it in me bones. Thank you all so much. Now get some sleep and let’s do it up right in 18 hrs. and 40 min.
Here’s a deep thought…submarine on the bottom of the ocean.
homey,
pah-dum, tish!
Don’t worry about your legs Kurt!… Use the muumuu… same reason Gigi uses them! you might have to ask her about footware for it though
“That’s deep, Mr. Parris, deep, deep!”–Giles Corey in The Crucible by Arthur Miller.
I hear faint sounds coming from another room in the house…hope it’s the wife and not the dogs.
It’s official. Saimin time! see you guys and gals tomorrow!
Thankfully, it appears that insomnia is not a side effect I will be dealing with tonight.
See you all tomorrow.
laterzzzzzz…..
Re #512. Koakane- you still got my NA/ St. Paulie Girls? Please bring if you do 😉
Wreck- you da bes!
Kekoa and crew- MAHALO!!!!
cu tommorrow!
Nitey Nite and Sweet Dreams!
SteveM- and J – mahalo for the iPhone info!
Homey- (#516)
Wow. That’s deep. You going off the deep end?
Curt – (#524)
Sure. I’ll give it a try. I’m sure she’ll be fine when she meets the Tsaikos/-ettes. And I don’t bite (hard). Haha. kidding. See ya!
Uh…Homes- (#534)
Family blog.
So, we’re all in agreement: What happens at the party stays in the party. We’re all turning off our cameras, right?
Hmmm…. ST’s been working some magic here.
ST – Ronnie will cry if there are no videos… 🙁
Hey Welcome Back CC….
Wow, Guam to SC… Your body clock must be all buss up..
BTW, when A/C not free in a hotel????
Yikes, I was playing Text Twist, and came upon this:
OOMCDSN
Try use all the letters to make one word. ❗
Jason-
C _ _ D _ _ S
Family blog.
condoms
I thought Text Twist was a family game.
😳 I just blurted…
Jason:
Mahalo for the RELAY FOR LIFE support.
Dober:
Whoever you are – mahalo for your support as well in #167. November 16, 2007, at Murphy’s will stay with me forever! Not only did I get to meet UHFan808 as well as the Addahknows that night but also I got to watch one of the most exciting sports moments ever on tv:
(Wikipedia)
Off to bed – a lot of free-lance projects to wrap up before heading into town. We’ll be at the SSC by 4:15 or so. DrDoc wasn’t able to find a sick grandmother, but he is knocking off work early. Between February 15 and April 15, he worked over 200 overtime comp hours so he’ll use up two of them Thursday afternoon.
Welcome home, chawan_cut!
The humidity is keeping me up o’ah here!
sports- are you guys still working on stuff w/ ST????
LizK-
Huh? What kind of stuff? I’m about ready to go sleep. Got a long day tomorrow. See ya tomorrow! Nitey nite.
okeydokey… I’m hitting the sack too!
Good morning Tsaikos!
Saw online that the Golden Nugget has their “Games of the Year” football lines up at their sportsbook. Only two games involving the WAC were NV – UNLV (NV -6) and UH – Boise St (BSU -13.5). They list USC as a 3.5 favorite over Ohio St. for their big 13 Sep matchup.
Hope everyone has a blast tonight but get home safe, OK?
Good morning all!
Hope you all have a great party today drive safe.
Those of us on the mainland will have to sit back and imagine the fun tonight with our eyes closed and anticipate the pictures.
Good morning Tsaikos. ~ 14 hours to the bash. bhf2, thought you be up already. 🙂 Safe trip for all flying in. ST, can’t guarantee the no camera thing. But if you break out the new camera, pics might stay in there… that was 👿 sjmacro
Pride, wreck: add deep post to your list
deep post = what a lot or Tsaikos do
sjmacro
Aloha Kakahiaka!!! Gonna be a fun time at SSC tonight, so take lots of pictures for us.
hey, las vegas, how you doing? besides being a bit frozen? I have ice on my knee so I can “feel your pain” a little… ha!
Wreck, I was LMAO at the football terms list… someday I’ll figure out what it all means. In the meantime I’ll read the blog to learn. I just know now that I’m on the IR list. Thanks, ST, for elucidating.
Congrats to Sapolu! Another great Governor, like my Ma.
Okay time to sleep!
Sorry ST…

Good Morning Stretch! *bathroom break*

Carl Clapp
I hope you get the job. You have done what has been asked of you, everytime, no question. you have a great face, no question. I personally observed you during the crisis time, and looking back I would have to say you did real real good. and you have a great kid, no question. You do not need any negative stigma hanging over you because of Herman’s missteps. without doubt.
I would like you to know that this Hawaii Warrior fan is pulling for you – if it could be your dream job.
btw, Jimmy D could take a lesson from you – keep up your health.
but in the meantime, please make the effort to get us good teams to play. use whoever you gotta use to get SMU in our sites. get openingx next year and later the following year (no need be the last game, we supposed to have 2 open spots). Plus, Florida would love to play us in late Nov. ’10. They going have issues in 52 dayz (8/31), rematch. 😀
To set it up, yu gotta start watering the grass now.
BHF2,
If Koakane used the first photo I sent him for the culcha table, you get to see some of the keeds in the Hawaiian club who your granddaughter will be hanging with. Good keeds! Hayden, Megs, Jason, Maria, Daniel, Christine & the club Pres. Kaila (the blonde) are all still at NAU. The guy scrunching down 2nd from the right is from Kona, Matt, & is going to vet. school at OSU right now. He’s my connection for tickets if I go.
Have fun!!! ML

BHF2: JUGS1 has not been seen in use yet. Last couple of days the field has been getting watered. Don’t know if the outlets are working, or they don’t want to short out the JUGS. 🙂 Actually they have all the QBs out throwing, so plenty of live balls. JUGS will come in handy later when early bird receivers pull Davone Bess workouts in the A.M. sjmacro
Bulla, sjmacro – sorry to be so
sorry bout dat, new post on the odda side
I’m proud to say that A-Sports is my sista and everything she wrote is accurate, especially her apathy for sports and disdain for pain (it took 5 people to hold her down at the dentist ‘s office when we were kids…but that’s another story). Funny, she didn’t like pain back then, but she sure was an expert at dishing it out. Since then, we’ve become a lot closer, but whenever I talk about sports, her eyes have a tendency to glaze over. I knew she had no interest when I spoke of how either UH volleyball team was doing or the incredible shotmaking skills of Tiger Woods. She never spent every Sunday morning watching football with me and our dad or stayed up late to watch Wrestling Hawaii (which, by the way, was REAL back then). I have never been good at sports, but I definitely enjoy watching it, especially UH sports. I was one of those who dished out three hundred something dollars last year for the UH package, even though I couldn’t really afford it (with a toddler and infant at daycare and both in diapers).
But getting back to A-Sports, I must say that thanks to her friendship with the Tsaikos, I have seen a tremendous change in her confidence, a brighter spark in her personality, and even a teeny bit of interest in sports. During one of the UH games this past season, she and A-Joe came over to watch Colt and Company and I vividly remember her letting out a shrill screech that could wake the dead. (I still have flashbacks about it.) Naturally, I thought it was a gecko, but she was actually excited about one of the plays…and it wasn’t even a touchdown. Who was this person? Not to mention her running to my computer to check the BLOG at every commercial. Did my sister even know how to use a computer? Anyway, I just wanted to give a little background info on my sister and how far she’s come as far as sports goes. Thanks, Tsaikos, for being an important part of my sister and braddah-in-law’s lives. They are both awesome people and we love ’em. I hope I can meet you all someday.
P.S.–My sis is definitely very good with her hands. She can make anything. Ever check out her jewelry? But, seriously, don’t make a wisecrack about being good with her hands. She wasn’t kidding about her “lead foot.”
Punchbowl:
Re UH linebackers being in the best 10. No way. Not the present group. You have some good LBs at UH, but they are not the ones on the field at this time. As soon as the UH coaches get their act together, the real LBs will take the field. None of the present starting LBs has a real shot at the show. A lot of flash and showboating, but no substance. The guys who make it to the show have a little something extra – it’s called heart. Since most of the present coaches have never been to the show, they are having a tough time figuring out who has that little extra. Hard to figure this out when you yourself don’t have it. Jesse Sapolu can tell you who has it. Ask him for some help in identifying the real players.
