Kalua Noa says he is joining UH; Hirono on charter
“Yes, I’m 100 percent sure I’m joining the Warriors,” Kalua Noa said today.
Noa, who was a standout receiver at Kaiser High, will gray shirt, meaning he will join the Warriors in January 2009.
He is 6 feet 2 and 200 pounds. At the Maui Camp, he ran 40 yards in 4.45 seconds.
Noa was headed to Portland State before receiving a scholarship offer from UH.
“It’s a better (situation) for my family,” Noa said. “It’s good to gray shirt so I can develop, study more, learn the program, get my school stuff straight.”
A gray shirt may take up to nine credits in a semester without his eligibility clock starting.

The entire Sugar Bowl travel list has been released, including the seating chart on the charters. Not very many interesting names. OK, there’s one: Mazie Hirono. She is on the “list of people who paid to fly on the charter.” But our request did not ask for the dates when the people paid, and the answers are not provided.

Good Morning Tsai-kos!
Good Morning ST!
Good Morning Stacy!
#2
I must still be on Mainland time cause I’ve been up since 4am. It’s nice to see the sun coming up over Lana’i Hale
Oh yeah,,,Good Morning to Tsaikoland!
wafan,
I’ll try to bring summer back with me. You’ll have to wait til wednesday though.
I noticed the football mags are out in my trip to Barnes and Nobles yesterday. I’m going alphabetical so I only looked at Atlhons yesterday. Hawaii is ranked # 77 while Florida is ranked # 1. Adam Leonard is a third team All-American while Estes and Ah Soon are First Team All-Wac. Steinhoff is 2nd team All-Wac.
Rounds 7 to 9 done. Nobody yet.
Oops, spelling was wrong, I’m sure dshima would catch it but ….
Athlon’s preseason Top 25 countdown
Hawaii is picked fourth in the WAC. Fresno is #1, Boise State is #2 and Nevada is #3.
😀 Aloha Stacy K – let’s get this show started! Come-on local guys! Ahhh, 41 more rounds to go….. What do you think of Shane Victorino and Kurt Suzuki? Today is Kurt Suzuki bobblehead night in Oakland…. hope he has a big game for the A’s! I see the A’s drafted a defensive catcher from ASU in rnd 3 … insurance or competition for Kurt? 🙄
morning gang!
Happy Belated Birthday to BG!
i hope we get some local boys drafted today.
Stretch – what about “getting bashed”?
NYUH – i would think that GA would be #1
have a safe and happy aloha friday! 🙂
Good morning, Hawai’i!
UH should be ranked higher and UF not as high. Their defense is poor against the pass.
By the way, team Kauai beat team Maui in football at our bible school last night in Georgia. I coached Kauai and my friend who will be QB at Davidson College coached the Maui team. Team K won 14 to 0 with great defense and a good kicking game.
And ST, I am partial to Atomic Dog as well, Bow Wow Wow, yippee yo yippee yay!
Stacy Kaneshiro,
Quick question: I’ve seen your name somewhere else other than in the sport’s pages. Maybe off track here, but did you at one time do political investigative type articles for HA-and if I’m on the right track here your political type writings I thought would have been your bread and butter because they were pretty good. Or am I thinking of somebody else with maybe a similar name?
Why can’t we have a repeat of the 1999 season when we went on to become WAC co-champ?
If JJ did it, why can’t Mack?
Loa: That is what I was thinking but Georgia was #5.
Warriors,
85 days to go
Mornin’, mornin’ mornin’
I’m at work, so no can “talk story” too much. Have a great day in Hawai’ Nei!
Oh, Solomon Elimimian was also First team WAC.
Congratulations to Mililani High’s Dustin Antolin. He was picked in the 11th round (339th overall) by the Toronto Blue Jays. He was drafted as a pitcher.
NYUH – I guess no one else has been to Barnes & Noble or any other bookstoe to see if Atlhons was a new football magazine or not. Ha! Thanks for the updates. I think UH will be flying under the radar until they surprise some peeps after Gainsville and Corvallis…
Really – I don’t understand why the “big 3” (Adam Leonard, Sol Elimimian, and Mr. Ryan Moutan) don’t get their (any?) due respect! I hope that helps motivate them towards having monster years!
😯 🙄 DEFENSE!!! 😀 😆
I brought up 1999 because UH was the underdog back then, too.
Malcolm Lane got 2nd team special teams player. Fresno State was ranked #25.
Yay Mililani! Congrats to the new pitcher.
brew808: Yeah, no mention of Mouton, oh, Veikune was mentioned as well.
coaches keepiin an eye on da 2 koreans, koheeshon an kemistree? inteegral
paht ah da it faktah. 😆
Hey StacyK – How does this MLB draft work? Is it just one big conference phone call? Mahalos!
And congratulations to Dustin Antolin and his family. Do you think this will be high enough for Antolin to sign and not attend UH?
Good Morning Tsaiko Family!
And a special shout out to Merv! Congratulations on your team winning the Pineapple trophy/bowl/cup/game ( 🙂 ) !
Wow, by this time next week, I’ll be home (unless we give up our seats for guaranteed round trip tickets to be used later 😉 )! Yee Haw!
NYUH – How about Dan “Iceman” Kelly?
😆 😯 😀 ~•~•~ Yeehaw!! Hiya Ronnie! ~•~•~ 😀 🙄 8)
Toronto must love Hawaii guys. UH’s Matt Daly was taken in the 13th round by the Blue Jays (399th overall).
I visited Toronto during the winter. Hope these Hawaii players like the cold!
Great Morning All.
NYUH,
Nah. You get ’em wit da alphabets already.
djmitcho,
Welcome home.
Loa,
Howzit brah. Try watch if homey going change his daughter’s dental appointment, maybe we can join him up in Manoa this afternoon.
merv,
Thanks for spreading da Aloha!
btw, heard from Buckhead Bulldog?
Stacy,
Yah, seems like Blue Jays might favor 808 guys going back to when they drafted BL.
Dustin Antolin is not signed to play for UH; he signed with Central Ariz. JC.
Whether he signs or goes to the JC is pretty negligible since he’s eligible to be drafted again next year after one season with the JC. It depends if he feels he’s ready to be with the adults now.
I’m sure Matt Daly is going to sign.
Baseball is a Summer sport… and Toronto plays inside a domed (sliding roof) stadium….
Garret,
When I have some time, I’ll post some info on going by train with keeds. Used the train when my son was a toddler & it was great to keep him occupied. No running up & down the aisles of a plane…. Good idea!
Yay, Celtics…Bill Russell was an alum of my alma mater…
Tsaikos,
Warrior Beat lookin like a top 25 national program, all da bells an whistles wit choke pikchas, ahsum big magnets. Good job ST.
Congrats to Dustin Antolin.
His fan, koakane, going be happy wen he finally gets around to waking up today.
Congrats to Matt Daly, too.
Stacy,
Remember the HUGE Breaking News item wen Jon Hee gets drafted. No keep midori7 in any more suspense than necessary.
Mahalo StacyK!
Congratulations to Matt Daly! I have mixed feelings cheering for UH Jrs. of the draft…. but nah, it’s good for the guys and overall, good for the Team. 😀
Brew, that is good to know.
Hi Brew!
Are you going to the Fresno St AND/or Boise St games?
brew,
I’m sure neither of those reasons would prevent gigi from NOT going to games there either.
hiho….
MeiLing –
Are you now talking about USF? BTW – Kurt Suzuki bobble-head doll day at the Colliseum today, vs. halo’s! 😀
Ha! I don’t have the patience to watch a baseball game. It lasts too long.
When we were thinking of visiting NYC again, hubby insisted we see a game at Yankee Stadium. I told him he could go alone.
NYUH – i guess more incentive for GA eh
d1 – maybe
congrats to Dustin & Matt!
Hiya Ronnie! – 😀
😆 😯 😀 ~•~•~ The “count” is now at least FIVE (5) – the number of times you’ve asked about me going to Fresno to watch the Warriors stomp some grapes/raisins! Please keep me informed about your travel plans w/ rob25. Corvallis game too! Maybe NMSU. I’ll probably pass (better than Teebone!) on the roadtrip to Gainsville. Yeehaw!! ~•~•~ 😀 🙄 8)
BTW – I think Kekoa was asking about where you’d go for your manapua when you got home. I’ll guess that your great Dad will likely pick-up a box from Char Hung Sut prior to picking you up from HNL. Right? 😆
End of 15th round. Draft is on about a 10 to 15-minute break.
brew/ronnie – have you tried Aiea Manapua? someone brought for snacks one day and was pretty good, they had different kinds too, ie. pizza, hot dog
sjmacro,
howzit howzit! i wuz wonderin yur opinyun. Brent, Greg: chances? any of the QBs runnin routes? too many QBs fo stan aroun.
Lofton: he playin wit da chrow machine? howz his hands? he get da 1st move, like his dad?
Ryan Henry: if yu seez him, tell him big hilo kanaka fan sayz howzit.
—
c’mon Warriors, step it up samoa. make kemistree n koheeshun. no dah odda braddas moves, habits.
GO WARRIORS!!!!
fyi, just heard that Tyler going be on 1420 this morning
Brew, 😀 !
So far there are around 8 of us going. I think Rich may be going as well. I’m going to see if any other LoCal Tsaikos are going. I’ll include you in the emails I start sending.
I’m not going to the Florida game or OSU game. I figure those will be great and there will be lots of Warrior fans there, but I want to be a part of our WAC Championship repeat and the first win AT Boise.
Oh, about the Manapua. I hope my parents make the trip to town (so I don’t have to 😉 ), but if they don’t, I’ll make sure I go before I leave. I have my trip plans broken into two categories: places I want to visit and places I want to eat!
Just talked to Matt Daly. He said he’s going to sign.
And just as I write this, Maui boy Derrick Saito, a left-handed pitcher at Cal Poly, was picked in the 16th round by the Kansas City Royals. Saito is a 2005 Baldwin grad. He’s a hard thrower.
jm2375- Your hubby may be playing with my grandson and his mom. My youngest son was into it for awhile but got distracted by music and school 😆
ALOHA KAKAHIAKA!
Tonight is opening night for Man of La Mancha in case anyone was thinking of attending. 7 pm at Kauai Community College. I still can get you tickets – save $3 if bought in advance 😉
Congrats, Matt Daly!
Our local PONY team is the Waimea Blue Jays, btw… Ukuboi played for them from shetland through pony.
CONGRATS, Merv and the Kauai Team! Pineapples are US!!!
Thanks, Merv, for the heads up on the Gators. That is good news. Here’s to a big surprise in the Swamp on August 30!!!
brew808- I’ll be in Corvallis, and bhf2 also, God-willing.
Ronnie – what are the dates you will be here??
Liz, best wishes for a great La Mancha opening! Hit those high notes. Bring down the house.
Kamehameha-HI’s Kolten Wong was picked by the Minnesota Twins in the 16th round. He was picked as a second baseman.
He’s a very versatile, as he can play second, center field or catch. He is a UH recruit, so this will be interesting to follow.
His father is Kaha Wong, who played at UH-Hilo after transferring from USC, where he played with Mark McGwire, et al.
Loa – Re: Aiea Manapua
No – but I’m more than happy to try! 😀 I think Kekoa was talking of Chun Wah Kam. My brother loves that place. It’s good – and I like the kalua pig manapua. Also, one of their plate lunches can feed a family of four – or maybe just an appetizer for the average Tsaiko! …FUUD!!! 😆 😀
Hey – just hear Kolten Wong got drafted… Yeah for Kolen & 808! 😀
I understand that WoW is easier to write than “Warcraft” but either way, it appears you enjoy your evenings with your hubby. 😉
The 16th round must be Hawaii’s jackpot.
Troy Hanzawa, Mid-Pacific alum and former Rainbow, of San Diego State was picked by the Philadelphia Phillies. He’s a shorstop.
Aloha Stretch –
You know I was just kidding from the last blog…. 😳 😀
Stacy K –
Did Hanzawa’s transfer to SDSU cost the Bows any APR points? Just wondering….
Hi Stretch!
We arrive on the night of the 12th and leave the night of the 23rd.
brew808 – sorry, missed that one. it’s “hard” work once in a while.
Congratulations to all of our Hawai’i boys who are being drafted!
Stacy- can you get back to the top blog area?
It would be good to start adding the picks up top as they get chosen.
If not, would you please bold the names of the draftees?
Mahalo and HI HO!
ronnie – wow, you should be able to do everything in that amount of time.
Aw, Ronnie, you will be missing the July 10 blog bash at the SSC. Any chance you can stay for it?
Yeah Kolten Wong,
Dat kid is real fast. I asked a coupla kids from Kam-Hi who wuz da best athlete and they named him. Really fast, lots of moves, short.
… like eat, eat, hook up w/ rob, eat, sing, eat, party, post bail, party, eat, sing, eat, talk story, party, post bail, get escorted to plane, ……. 😆
Those fall under one category for me when I go home…
spoken like a true Tsaiko!!
brew808,
Yup, USF
I haven’t heard from Buckhead Bulldog in about a month. We talked after the spring game. We are all excited about our prospects for the coming season here in Georgia.
I’m glad Florida is ranked #1 with a big target on their backs and they will be full of themselves by August. Let them get over confident and have the Warriors pass all over them in the Swamp.
I like UGA at #5. It is a great place to start from but not too high. You have incentive to work harder and stay focussed.
By the way it is 92 in Waynesboro right now. We got up to 99 yesterday.
Hi J –
How often do you travel “home”?
Some slow evening, we should have a discussion of the new baggage tax and how that impacts kamaiana’s from transporting goodies and care packages to/from 808. 😀
Hawaii Pacific left-handed pitcher Kaimi Mead was picked in the 18th round by the Cleveland Indians. He is a Roosevelt alumnus and former Rainbow.
I don’t know how to bold the names or put this at the top. No one else is here this early.
Stacy- just use these tags around the words you want bolded. Substitute the parentheses with (b)bold words (/b)
brew808,
Won’t be able to get to the Bay Area till July. A’s aren’t playing at home, but I’m planning on catching a Giants game. The A’s games aren’t broadcast here…whatever’s on ESPN & D-Backs on Fox. I don’t like the idea of the A’s moving down to Fremont, but I won’t be here to care much by the time they do…
dang.
Substitute the parentheses with (b)bold words (/b)
actually you have to use the greater than and lesser than symbols — not parentheses.
double dang.
Stacy – wake up ST!!!
Substitute the parentheses with uppercase , and uppercase .
Stacy K –
To highlight (bold) words, use the brackets (less than, greater than) symbols – so let’s say we want … Stacy Kaneshiro. That would look like:
(less than)b(greater than) Stacy Kaneshiro (less than)/b(greater than)
Try that!
BTW – when you write about the MLB draft, could you please enclose a list of UH and 808 players, and a list of WAC/UH opponents players. Mahalo! Also, when you got the keys from ST to drive the blog, you should have also asked for gas money! 😆 🙄 😀
Thanks, gigi! They would not show up on the page…
haha I think Stacy K is probably thinking it is more work than it is worth!
Merv,
thanks for the weather update from Georgia. 99, weeeuuu.
Homey,
’84 Ewa Beach Little League champs.
in da last 10 years 5 peeps: Pearl City2x, Aiea2x, Mililani.
had one earlier championship team from Hilo (60s) but they one only the regionals, Sheldon Spencer guys; Hilo AllStars won a Cal Ripken World Champ but dat was 5 years ago. Waipahu not one world champ. height issues. 😆 😛
Stacy K –
Another excellent choice as a co-pilot would be Princess Leila!!! But, I don’t think she likes us anymore…. 🙁 🙁 boo hoo… 🙁
Stacy – bold or not, on top or not, thanks for keeping us up to date on the baseball draft. Yesterday was slow for the Hawaii guys but I think today should be a lot more interesting. BTW – you are spoiling us with the early new blogs. You are making ST look bad but that’s okay.
Stacy Kaneshiro
< b > Stacy Kaneshiro < /b >
< b > Stacy Kaneshiro < /b >Stacy – Leave out the spaces….. 😀
brew808,
Haven’t gone home this year…the UK/Europe trip last month changed some of my travel plans. Last year I made it home often enough (along with some inter-island trips) to qualify for Pualani Gold status on Hawaiian. I can check 3 bags every time without penalty until the end of this year.
AL: Mahalo for your Post 430 at 11:47 pm in yesterday’s blog to my Post 427 at 11:41 pm which I did not see until this morning. That is why I am only now getting around to thanking you per your comment in your Post 445 at 12:12 am. By then, I was in bed.
The referral itself was both interesting & informative. Based on it, I’ve decided to not take part in the WIKI. I’m now in my 23rd month of trying to peel myself away from the Internet culture by re-connecting to people in the real world.
We got our first desktop computer in 1984 and by 1990 were regulars on Compuserv. We registered our first two domain names in 1994 (I think).
By the mid-1990s, the Internet began to take over my life, but I never realized to what extent. After logging my time for a month in the summerf 2006, I found that I was spending more than 100 hours a week at work in the legislative off-season of which about 75 hours were at the computer. I was also attending on average about 20 community meetings every week as well. What with commuting, sleeping four hours a night – if that – and basic household chores, that left maybe 15 hours a week to take care of personal business including reading, eating, personal hygiene, watching tv & staying in touch with family & friends. What had gone bye-bye over a several-year period were UH sports, thearical stuff, singing in choral groups, and volunteering with animal care groups.
Since that Labor Day 2006 epiphany, I’ve reduced my time at the computer to about four hours a day, dropped the number of meetings to 12 on average, and am trying to reclaim what is left of my life.
Of course, a lot of the change came after last summer’s accident.
It is still difficult to make contact with people on a 1-2-1 basis. Most people prefer to get together either in large – and often noisy – groups where it is almost impossible to carry on a conversation without shouting, not to mention spending a fair amount of money.
Traffic should be lighter by now so it’s time to get to work. Hope everyone has a great Aloha Friday. And yes, Liz, you won’t be alone in bringng gifts of food.
Good luck to Hawai`i’s Boys of Summer.
brew,
thanks for the lessons to Stacy K. gonna practice this evening wen i get home frum wurk. hi ho hi ho. 😀
J –
I forget that most Tsaikos are frequent travelers and qualify for perks like that. Unfortunately, I don’t qualify…. 🙁 I’m not special like you! 😯 😆 8)
HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!! A RedSox! 😀 😀 😆 😀
Morning Tsaikos!
Stacy Kaneshiro is on AM 1500 now.
He just announced that Jon Hee was picked in the 21st round by the Boston Red Sox!
Congrats to all the Hawaii boys that have gotten picked so far!
midori7: Stacy Kaneshiro just reported on Leahey and Leahey that Jon Hee was drafted by the Red Sox (boo!) in the 21st round.
Stacy – thanks for keeping us up to date on the draft
Haha, I guess we were all listening.
Okay, back to doing other stuff. I gotta catch up on all that I missed the past couple days.
Hi Brew!
Long time no “see”! Hope you are doing well.
Hee got picked??!!??
I can see a bright (green) glow coming from the Ala Moana area.
good morning everyone!
i thought it was Michael Jackson…………..”HEEEEEEEE…..HEE”
I was on the Leahey and Leahey show when Jon Hee got picked by the Boston Red Sox in the 21st round, so sorry this is kind of late.

morning everyboy
running kinda late but only thing is teachas checking out for summa so place is quiet
needles to say yesterday was hectic but survived. putting on da luncheon then running to help civic club with float decoration. called kekoa after found out Pono Maa will be Alli Nui for Kamehameha day parade.
ended up at this nice place. reminded me of the old style place like kuhio grill, violet’s and flamingo’s. we were only going to have one but nobody bothered to clarify one meant one in da morning.
any way enjoy the music and be back lattas got to sign out techas.
whoa Stacy is stepping up!!! Pics of some of the players are above.
Haislet is a Rockie! 😀
UH center fielder Brandon Haislet was picked in the 23rd round by the Phillies.
Very cool Stacy!!! Mahalo! 😀
*yawn* Good Morning Tsaikos and Tsaikettes!
Midori-
Boston’s so far away. Are you going to fly over for any games? 😉
I think I’m losing my voice. Going to have to make up for it by typing more and talking less. Ayah!
Was getting kinda tired of the Red Sox, w/exception of them winning title in 2004.
But now…Go Red Sox! 😀
😳 Correction – Haislet is a Phillie…. I’d better leave the game calling to the pros… Stacy Kaneshiro!!! 😳 🙂
<b>You make it like this</b>
aloha kakahiaka
good luck to all of our Hawai’i ‘boys’ waiting to hear if they are being drafted and
CONGRATS to those already getting the call!
Ronnie and rich2176– will miss you at the upcoming CC- enjoy your time at home- any chance of a neighbor island jaunt?
Hiya Eh-Sports –
Imth tso tsorree thoou htear tthhatt youssth tsteelth feethling tsick. Thaake carethhh of yourtstelff!!! 😀
I thhinthk bruddah SteveM isth alstho notthh feethling tsoo goodth… 🙁
Be back later in a few hours. I have to go “work” now, sometimes it does take that long, right brew??
I Believe –
I think there was some discussion (begging?) to get Rich over to the Garden Isle to complete the quadruple-isle golf tour, Oahu – Maui – Big Island – Kauai circuit. That would be cool… 8)
Send a list of tempting Kauai fuuds to Ronnie and you might be able to convince her too…. I hear that Liz K is a celebrated FUUD expert there, …. and everywhere! 😆 😯 😀
Seems like there’s a break after the 25th round.
Anyway, Tsai is putting up the pics. I didn’t even know until he called. I’m following the tracker and other Web sites; have two computers up.
I think as far as the UH high school recruits from the Mainland, being that they haven’t been picked yet, they are likely to attend school even if they get picked later today. Of course, these are 17-18 years olds, so anything could happen.
Stretch –
You know, I LOVE it when I find a “sensitive” spot to pick! Mahalo for making my day! 😯 😆 🙄
Ohhhh…. Big Brother Tsai is watching huh…. 😳
I suppose that means I’m back to the corner…. 🙁 😆 😳
Roughly 5% of players who get drafted plays at least one regular season MLB game.
What is “Jason-like“? 😯 😕 🙄
Geez Brew-
Your listhp is worse than mine. Hehe. After attempting to translate your message, I think the correct response is “Thanks, Brew. I will do that.” 🙂
btw, did I mention my congested chest was the problem and not my enunciation.
I will send bruddah SteveM a get well email.
🙂
… and in round #837 of the 2008 MLB draft….. 😯
So tsorry (wheeeezzzzeee …whheezzzzeeeee… gasp… wheeeezzzee!) Eh-Sports (cough, gasp …whheezzzzeeeee… gasp… wheeeezzzzeee, wheeeezzzee!) 🙄 😆 😀
…. poor baby…. 🙁
Thanks for posting pictures ST. So cool. Reading your posts is now like looking through a magazine. I love it!
Koakane ~
Re: Post #107
Once I deciphered what you were so excited about on da phone, was easy to understand why they have DUI checkpoints. I got the bail money from cousin ULU, but she needs your WOK cook stove for collateral…Bwhahaha!
Sure Brew-
Rub it in. Actually, that’s what I feel like, although it hasn’t come to full wheezing yet. What to do…what to do…I have a full social calendar this weekend.
“Onipa’a” to former ‘Bows John Hee, Brandon Haislet, and Matt Daly (although I was waiting for this guy’s senior year 🙁 )
Oh and a bit of an update regarding..
2008 Warrior Football Season Tickets
Just today I received a call from the UH ticket office in response to adding on more seats to my season tickets from last season.
Unfortunately my group of 10 is seperated: 5 seats in the North end zone Orange Level, row 23 seats 11-15 and the new 5 in row 26 seats 9-13.
Oh well better than nothing….
So now I assume they are getting to the end of the current season ticket holder list and they will be starting the new season ticket requests probably sometime next neek.
They will call back in the order of who placed their deposits first.
Mahalo Liz for the comforting words…now get out there and break a leg!
Kazz –
That’s not too bad. Those two groups of seats are pretty close! I bet you can talk to the Warriors fans and see if they’ll swap seats with you – at least for some of the games. The Row 26 peeps should be willing to move closer to Row 23, unless they’re there with their friends already. Real Warrior Fans would do that for their fellow bruddahs (and sista’s)!!! 😀
Kazz ~ You are a man with tremendous power and great influence. Offer the fans exclusive rights to all of our T-gate leffovahs in exchange for the seats!
RE: seats.
Nah should be ok. depending on the game there could be spots of empty seats next to us or behind us so they could move on down.
Unless it’s a 40K+-type game, most people do not sit in their assigned seats anyway.
Mr. Kaneshiro ~ Just wondering if you might be able to give me an update on my nephew *Micah Furtado* who has been in the Texas Rangers farm system for a few years now. Last I heard he was in Fresno (yikes!) CA.
If it seems likes we haven’t had another pick yet it’s because we haven’t as we’re nearing the end of the 30th round.
doc.
no problem.
Ronnie ~ Speaking of Fresno (P-tui…leaves a bitter taste in my mouth)…be sure to give Pauoa Boy a shout out. I would feel much better about your safety if I knew you were going there in the company of the United States Marines and “A FEW GOOD MEN!”
thanks, Brew!
Aiea High’s Randy Castillo, a right-handed pitcher, was picked in the 31st round by the Seattle Mariners.
Hi Kekoa.
Do you have Pauoa Boy’s email address? I can add him to my Lo Cal Tsaiko email list.I agree with you about safety. So far it is Rob, Julia, Gabby, myself and my boys (and maybe a friend or two). I think Rich is going and maybe some other LoCal Tsaikos and brew. I’m going to see if we can get seats together in the Hawai’i section.
that’s fine but please don’t pick MY sensitive spot, I’ll leave that for Stretchette
Jonathan Hee/Red Sox:
I am a Yankee fan as I am a Celtic fan.
Hey gang….good morning…
Break in my meeting so I thought I’d say hello….Hope everyone is having a great day.
Stretch…TMI about your sensitive spot….mwahahahahaha
Addahknows…hope to see you tonight. Addahknowsports, I went to gym yesterday and worked out my forearms so I could be up to the challenge.
koakane…got your message. Will call you later.
Okay, gotta go back into the meeting. Talk later.
Oh yeah, Midori7, congratulations on Hee to the Red Sox…..although Jason is upset about that….mwahahahahahaha

Assuming you and rob are not locked up at OCCC or Halawa (from June), and are able to attend the “grape stomp”/Paniolo_Rodeo in Fresno… please put me down for two tix. I’m also going to see if there are any Warrior Fan-want-to-be’s that may want to tag along so my request may increase. Mahalo! …. and YEEHAA!!! 🙄 😆 😀

Ronnie ~ Yep…I’ll put PB’s addy in an email to you.
Right next door to the best little manapua shop in Aiea, “Chun Wah Kam”…you simply must take time to enjoy a delicious shaved ice with your fave syrups on top. My cousin Francis and his family own and operate the Baldwin Sweet shop. Their shaved ice has been rated #1 in the Leeward area for years.
A few shops down from their’s is Shiro’s where you can order A-Joe’s favorite…The Joe Moore special!…and don’t forget, almost right next door to Baldwin’s is Leonards for da bessus Malasadas in all da world! Next to dat, Zippy’s, but dat one is not as good as other Zippy’s down by da Waiau power plant.
A-House – I guess there will be a white line down the middle of the house, one side is Lakers/Red Sox and the other side is Celtics/Yankees. The Mrs. will be the only one brave enough to cross over to each side.
you sure you was at the gym or you was at home??!!??
My boss swears by Happy Days in Kaimuki for manapua and dim sum. There are a few people on Kauai who will agree with him! I’m still waiting for mine 🙄
Happy Birthday to juju
🙂
Bruddah Kekoa –
Your cousins are always on vacation during the holidays, Xmas – through – New Years! That really messes up getting my holiday shaved ice fix! GGGGgggrrrrr!!!!!
Shiro’s and Leonard’s Jr. are located at the WAIMALU SHOPPING CENTER. I don’t consider that Aiea, though.
At Shiro’s, try the Dodonpa, the king of saimin with 10 different garnishes (including shrimp tempura)!
happy birthday to juju!!
•~•~• 😀 ♪ ♫ 😆 ~•~ Happy Birthday juju!!! ~•~ 😆 ♪ ♫ 😀 •~•~•
Let’s hope that tonight, when you make your wish and blow out the many candles – that your wishes, hopes, and dreams all goes your way …. like dessert!!! 😆 😯 😀
Kekoa – No forget also at the Waimalu Shopping Center.
Waimalu Chop Suey – koakane’s place for the humongous gau gee’s
Jin Joo – Korean restaurant
Kapiolani Coffee shop – Oxtail soup
Jackies Diner – Hawaiian food and also get pasteles
Kabuki – Japanese resturanto
Ezogiku – Ramen shop
Korean Bar at the ewa end – Keeps changing the name so I don’t know what it is now.
…. and Zippy’s! There’s another “crack seed” store, but I don’t remember the name…. Oh, since it’s NOT Baldwin’s, we won’t mentioned them (k Kekoa?) 😀
Hmmmm….Brew. Cryptic. Care to share?
Jamesie-
Hope your meetings go well. My arm is working just fine. I’ve actually been working it out a little more considering I have to do more sign language to make up for my hoarsey voice. Right ear, left ear still shifting….hope I don’t land a dart in anyone.
Stretch – If James works out his forearms at home he is only getting a 30-second workout.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JUJU!
Hauoli Lahanau, juju!!!!
You guys are making me hungry now 😆
ST and Stacy- Great tag-team blogging today!
gigi – Still Aiea…same zip code. Cutter Ford AIEA is right across the street. Best Buy AIEA is right across the street. Pearlridge AIEA is up the street.
Where is Foster Village?
😆
LizK-
I love Happy Day’s dim sum and baked manapua. If you go on weekday mornings and take out, it’s discounted. It’s fresh, too. Sometimes I’m waiting for stuff to finish cooking.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JUJU! Hope I get to meet you one day.
Happy berfday to juju
Happy berfday to juju
Happy berfday to juuujuuu
Happy berday to juuuu
In other words, there will be a lot of pointing at fuud and liquid refreshment, then pointing to one’s mouth, then repeating….. 😯 😆 🙄
homey, I didn’t realize Aiea was so large. I always thought it was the area between St. Elizabeth’s Church and Pearlridge.
Foster Village is in Honolulu, just barely making the cut.
cool! pics of b-ball players!
I rather have dim sum from this place in downtown, Dim Sum House. It’s on Bishop St.
hmmm. This food talk has made me decide to cook some saimin now…
Yup, Brew. There will ALSO be a lot of that going on. Something icy cold will feel reeeaaal good on the throat. Maybe I’ll send you a pic of some sign languaged conversation. Hehehe.
Where’s juju’s pic? And not the one of Betty Rubble.
Happy Birthday Juju!
Feature article on Jerry Glanville.
If we can’t see juju’s pic then post jojo’s pic since I heard they look like twins.
The MLB draft must be almost over.
Article about a QB that Colt will be battling for the #3 spot at Washington. My money is on Colt for that battle–not only is Colt a special talent, but his QB-expert head coach personally led the effort to draft him.
Where did everybody go?
Gotta agree on Baldwins – lichee yum yum. Close second to Matsumoto’s.
Happy Birthday juju!!
Congrats to all the Hawaii boys who got drafted, esp the former Na Pueos. Way to represent!
OK back to work and lurking.
OK when I posted just now, last post was #152 and I refreshed it several times. So how come when I post get 25 more?
To view photos of Jojo, Jeje, and Joje, click on this link:

Two writers for the Sporting News wrote their preseason top 25 lists and made fun of each other’s lists. Both have Georgia at #1 (I agree), Florida is at #4 (from the guy who graduated from Florida) and #9.
Matt Hayes has Fresno State at #25 and Spencer Hall has *SMU* at #25. But we have to remember that Spencer Hall is the Florida alum who wrote this:
Spencer Hall had Florida at #4. I don’t know if that reflects well on a Florida education that he thinks that 9 is 6 more than 4. I don’t know if that is worse or if actually ranking SMU is worse.
It’s the 40th round and no one has gone from Hawaii since Randy Castillo.
Matsumoto’s is overrated. They don’t give enough syrup and you are left with bland flavored ice on the bottom.
Best bang for the buck is the one in Waikele by the Sports Authority. Heaping mounds of mochi, plenty syrup, and large size is huge.
jm2375 – where did you buy your malasada today??
gigi wants more hits for her site. 😆
This parody site had an article about JJ.
jm2375 – As XLiz pointed out, the blog (WordPress) posts in batches.
I sent a picture to ST of me and juju, but I don’t know if juju will get mad at me for it.
jojo – younger sisters almost always gets mad at the older sister.
Jojo, you are sooo photogenic! If Juju looks like you, wow!
Stretch:
NBA and MLB discussions will take a new “turn” in our household – it’s 3 aganist one for NBA – MasaBoy’s team is the Spurs.
happy birthday juju!
juju:
all the monkeys in the zoo sends their best regrads to you – happy B-day!!!!
lizk…..happy days is very good and reasonable and a minute away from the addahknows, jojo, jeje, joje, and the al. 25% discount for take out orders.
golden palace is very good and very cheap.
legends is very good and very pricey.
in my experience you gotta eat it as it comes out of the kitchen all hot and steamy. otherwise the quality drops 50%. i have often wondered why there are no good dim sum eateries at any of the other islands.
big diff between manapua shop and dim sum restaurant. big difference.
So, I was looking at this fine poster that somebody made about a year ago, and it includes a list of our regulars. I think some folks are MIA. Time to get them back, no?
Malasadas from Agnes’ Portuguese Bake Shop in Kailua. Methinks they better than Leonard’s.
Jamaican food for lunch. Waiting for da guys to bring it back so can eat. I staaving.
jm2375 – i picked up malasada from Leonards Kapahulu this morning. Jamaican food?? Is that from the lunch wagon on Kalakaua/Kapiolani??
ST – hopefully most of those who are MIA are lurking and know about the party at SSC on July 10 then they can show face again.
Someone from UH was quoted in both morning papers several days ago, the UH was
rushed into putting together a “travel party list” because the Sugar Bowl committee wanted it and there would be “official social functions” requiring UH representation.
OK, I can see that, BUT 1) what function(s) were held in NOLA that required children to attend?; 2) I did not hear of any “official” functions for UH and Georgia in NOLA (of course, I was just a fan so why would anyone tell us); 3) did UH contact Bosie St for info on travel party?; 4) can someone illucidate us on who attended any special official functions and why?
I can see Pres McClain or Chancellor Hinshaw or Fumbler representing UH at official functions.
OK, folks, play along to Name Those Bloggers.
PIc is at the top.
ST, how are you planning to get the MIA back?
hmm.. i wonder if that’s juju and jojo
ST – I think HA should put back the blog on the Sugar Bowl list since there is an article about it again this morning.
juju on the left; jojo on the right
Gigi:
Make new friends,
but keep the old.
One is silver,
the other is gold.
A circle is round,
it has no end.
That’s how long,
I will be your friend.
A fire burns bright,
it warms the heart.
We’ve been friends,
from the very start.
You have one hand,
I have the other.
Put them together,
We have each other.
Silver is precious,
Gold is too.
I am precious,
and so are you.
You help me,
and I’ll help you
and together
we will see it through.
The sky is blue
The Earth is green
I can help
to keep it clean
Across the land
Across the sea
Friends forever
We will always be
wow ST, I am about cry…
hmmm If ST did not copy and paste the lyrics, then he must have a very fine memory. No Alzheimer’s in his future.
why that’s jojo and juju!
UH recruit, catcher Nick Croce, of Mission Bay High in California was picked in the 45th round by the Atlanta Braves.
jojo and juju – oooh da cuuute!!
Juju is younger than Jojo.
That is Homey at the top before the hormones and the operation.
Nah, Jojo, look at you… You never grew in height at all!
ST – the poet…
His lyrics dance and entice…
…his singing …. painful! 😆
ST – i would guess the birthday girl and her big sister
Happy Birthday Juju!
ST – is the poem from the friendship circle?
Hey Brew!
How you been?
So how was the new Rio seafood buffet? Planning to go in july.
Bruddah Wreck – Re: 211

Happy Birthday Juju!
ST: very sweet poem!
Stacy: thank you again for keeping us updated w/the MLB draft!

wow, anyone see Stephen’s new Coverlook picture that randomly appears up in the corner?
new do and no glasses….
OK had to stop and say…
WOW ST, the poet in you is touching!
Brew – You sure that you want to take a chance sitting near Ronnie and me?
Ronnie – Don’t forget to call me when you get in!
homey
do you think that there are colored easter eggs in the baskets?
or would that be balut?
what is the poet touching?
homey,
i’m not filipino… i think.
i’m also not a girl. i’m pretty sure of that.
chawan thats been up for quite some time now
UH catcher Landon Hernandez was picked in the 50th round by the Detroit Tigers. He still has a year of eligibility.
holy cow. there’s 50 rounds???
al,
sorry, i’m slow… i don’t usually check out stephen or his pics. (that’s a good thing)
al – I’m not sure, I do see a pink rabbit though.
chawan – I’m only going by hairstyle and not by race or gender. But thanks for clarifying some things for the readers. 😆
thanks, al – went sleep early last night!!
okden finish my tuna sandwich much to do before da night comes
see everybody lattas
We should digitize our baby pics and play the guess the blogger game. But then again, it’s gonna be tough scanning those gigi baby pics that’s chiseled on stone tablets.
Stretch – I think that’s where da boys went.
Quick Break:
Have to agree about the Agnes’ malassadas – and yes, the true Portuguese spell the name with two essess. That’s what we make when do our fundraising and we always sell out long before the close of the event no matter how well we plan in advance because they’re self-selling.
So where are the darts being tossed tonight? Champion’s again? Assume it’s a bio since nothing has been posted on the tsaikosdotcom website.
Addahsports – if you continue to have problems with your hearing after the weekend, hie yourself off to Da Eer/Noz/Trote Dokta asap. In 1998, I thought I’d quote give it another day unquote for more than a month and wound up with losing a significant amount of hearing in both ears. The loss is permanent although correctable with surgery or hearing aids. Cannot afford the former and too vain to wear the latter so I taught myself to read lips if I’m close enough to the speaker.
Back to work.
homey,
yeah, i just wanted to make things crystal clear. i’m not a girl, but i do like them.
also, i couldn’t afford the bling bling watch that she has on there too.
ccut
you are spending too much time at that other place
and baseball should do itself a favor by cutting the number of rounds to 25 or so,
al,
no worries, i stay away from that corner on kuhio ave.
Can someone explain why NFL 7 rounds go so much slower than the 50 rounds of the MLB?
al – Then Randy C. would not have been drafted. But I see what you mean.
You need to do explaining again…
gigi – overall, the players are bigger in the NFL.
doc
…….what is Aswassednjan?
The draft is over. Thank you for your patience, being that I took you away from football for a day.
Thanks to Mr. Tsai for letting use this space. I gotta make a bunch of calls now, so I won’t be able to respond for a while.
Al — THAT’S WHAT HE SAID IN JANUARY — Doc explained it in a previous blog.
Jamaican fuud was ono! 😀
ST – the 1st 2 verses are familiar to me… Old Girl Scout song.
Brew, you going Boise game too?
Can’t make it…paid for LA trip to Ronnie’s and going Vegas in July before hubby heads to Middle East.
You can’t even go to Vegas anymore for cheap. I don’t like flying Omni plus I’d rather stay at the Golden Nugget.
Glad that I will be able to see one UH road game. I just want to see how hostile the environment is in Fresno. If UH fans scared them…gotta see how theirs act.

i was referring to sports hawaii forum and you have other things on your mind!
why are you telling gg?
and here i was going to enlighten you about nfl-mlb draft.

re: MLB Draft
hope we find out soon if Landon & the Hawaii recruits will sign or will play for UH.
It would be great if Landon comes back for his senior year, but if he decides to sign then best of luck to him!
no- I’m busy. Someone just sent me those and I thot they were “cute”
Liz, your list made me laugh!
By the way the answer to the quiz is: Homey and DPK.
What’s another word for thesaurus?
Today is laundry day! Aaargh!
Hard to make a king size bed with 2 sheets and 2 blankets. We have 2 blankets cause hubby prefers a light weight one whereas I prefer a heavier one.
The bedroom is air conditioned.
ST, so since when did DPK lose his tan?
I missed the quiz.
Does look a little like xxs-homey 😆
and a mighty belated birthday wish to BG from A-House family!!
gigi…how much lumber and springs do you use when you make a king size bed???
Okay…gotta go back to work…see everybody laterz….
I can’t tell without the chopsticks.
Can someone photoshop them in?
Happy B-day BG and Juju!
midori7
my guess is that daly and haislett goes.
hernandez should return and get his degree. a 50th rounder might get a plane ticket, a couple hundred bucks and assistance finding a roomate(teammate in this case). the pay is peanuts and he would need to find a pt job to make ends meet.
sheesh, hit and run, eh, James?
We always buy a Simmons. Isn’t that the best brand? Better than Serta, that’s for sure.
ST,
your #277; answer-Jurassic.
hey, that’s right, it’s juju’s b-day.
Stacey, thank you for your coverage of the MLB draft. 50 rounds????
I am a big Stacy Kaneshiro fan. SK, I thought that Jeter Ishida of Punahou might get drafted…is he another class that was not eligible?
Stacy, sorry about misspelling your name.
al:
Stacy had reported earlier that Matt Daly was going to sign. Would have been interesting to see how he would do in his senior season, but oh well.
Brandon Haislet used up his eligibility so he wouldn’t be back anyway.
I agree w/you about Landon.
Somewhere on this site, someone said that only 5% from the MLB draft will ever play one game in the majors. If that is true, why does MLB have a 50 round draft. Wouldn’t these players have a better chance in life if they went to college and played college ball? They would get an education and participate in the sport they love. Plus some of the college scholarships are worth more than the signing bonus and monthly pay combined. The sad part is that if a youngster signs a pro contract, he becomes ineligible for college ball. Many of these talented youngsters would probably have a better chance at the pros by going to school, maturing, and playing college ball.
gigi- when you take a break from the laundry, check out Greg as the Man from La Mancha on my blog 😉
There’s an East Indian doc who started the Laughter Club. This IS a Laughter Club. eh, tanks!!!
It makes no sense to me . . . especially since it seems teams are finding more and more legitimate prospects in other countries, especially in Asia.
Agreed Mr. Hernandez should stay.
BTW, I’ve been away. Any word on Jared Alexander?
Not everyone signs, many accept a college scholarship and play at that level. For some who are planning on walking on at a college, getting drafted might give them a boost. Money for college tuition is usually included in a contract, though by the time the player quits professional ball, he has other financial obligations.
The draft used to go on until every team passed on their turn. Now that’s an endurance test. The 50-round limit wasn’t introduced until 1998.
Wow, Liz, Greg has white hair now??? How time flies.
The costumes look realistic for the time. But I don’t see you in the photos.
The tickets are a bargain at $15 at the door and $12 in advance.
LizKauai –
Your list cracked me up… thanks for sharing the laugh!
Hi everyone… errr, what day is this?
Fever broke this morning but I’ve been asleep and weak as a kitten.
Thanks for the “get-Well” wishes, Addahknowsports and Brew808. I read them this morning but was too weak to type.
MEDICAL STUFF: (skip if not interested)
Anyone else had or heard of this bug? High fever and body ache. Started Monday and gets progressively worse even if you feel better in the morning… like 101+ fever at night at 99.2 in the morning…then shoots for a new high at night.
Aside from the weakness and body aches — there are NO other symptoms– no sore throat, no cough, no sinus problem, no diahhrea or tummy problems, etc…
If you get it, go to a doctor because it probable won’t go away soon. I almost went to emergency, thinking this might be a symptom for another internal problem.
Looks like I’ll be staying home this weekend so as not to spread germs.
Gigi, laundry day again? Hah, everyday is laundry day when you got 4 kids.
Liz, that list was too funny. And, I lurk your blog all the time…great stuff. I feel like I know you already.
Happy Birfday ju-ju…
Happy Birfday ju-ju…
Happy Birfday dear juuu-ju
Happy Birfday ju-juuuuuuu…
jo-jo looks like she hasn’t aged a day since that picture was taken. j/k 😆
Stacy, I can imagine your water and electric bill. outta sight!
Got my HECO bill recently. It is $275.
Consumption is the same or less than last year but their rates have shot thru the roof.
Blame the PUC.
gigi- Greg does have white hair but still acts very young- and has a beautiful voice. I am background material – way off downstage left – but in clear sight for those who are checking for breaks in character (not here!).
The show will be fun! My #2 son is coming tonight – the rest of my gang are coming tomorrow night, I think.
KaneoheFan- that lst was sent to me by an old buddy who used to work for another daily paper but who has since moved to AZ.
I know some people use the blog for humor therapy in times of stress and sadness and that group of witticisms seemed to be just what the doctor ordered!
Howzit gang 🙂
gigi, mine was $250. I almost had a heart attack. Up $70 from a year ago. With increase in gas and food, I might be getting a PT job.
SteveM – Good thing your fever wen buss 102 degrees is enough for put you comatose.
SteveM, Did I hear Dengue Fever?
SteveM,
I hope you recover from the flu.
It took me 4 weeks to get over my 101.3 fever, cough, and sinus congestion last month. Doc gave me an antibiotic and cough meds which helped but did not cure me.
I guess it just takes time.
It was nice to pay $3 to sit and chat with SJ and Jerry while waiting for the practice to start. Bad thing is that the team practiced in the morning. Oh well….
New schedule that ST can confirm, Monday, Wednesday and Thursday – 2pm.
gigi- I got a good lesson in budgeting from my photovoltaic guy yesterday.
1. go to a solar water heater first.
2. change out old appliances – esp. the reefer and washer. (I use gas for cooking)
3. replace lighting with energy efficient fixtures and bulbs.
THEN do the photovoltaic.
So- my bummer is that the $800 rebate on a solar system is only for replacing an electric water heater. I use a Bosch direct heater so no rebate.
But I am going to press forward and get an efficient front loading washer and a front loading gas dryer. Hopefully, we can be trained to use the solar clothes dryer some day. But being realistic, we like our dryer-soft clothes and towels.
I put the deposit down on a second Prius tho. No mo foolin around with used gas guzzlers. Even the Miata gets only half the mileage of the Prius.
Stretch- ayah. no practice, eh? So where was Myki???? (bwahahaha)
liz – I think they went home take nap. When I drove up, she was taking a nap but I woke her up. ooopps
Liz, we have had a solar water heater since the early 1990s.
We also use energy efficient fluorescent light bulbs. However, for some reason the bulbs burn out before the 9 years are up. Haven’t figured out why.
On the minus side, we use a/c every night and on certain days.
Kine of mento with all these medical discoveries, but no moa cure for the flu just gotta suck it up feel miserable and wait til the ting pass.
SteveM,
My neighbor down the street is just getting over a bug that sounds very much like what you have. Rest up, son, and remember that you can call Uncle Kid anytime if ya need anything. 😉
Kazz:
re: Jared Alexander
article couple days ago said only strain, no surgery needed
Great info on Kalua. Does anyone know what happened to that other Kaiser HS super athlete that was All State that committed to UH couple of years ago. Can’t remember his name, think he went to a JC or was going to grayshirt. Supposed to have been a slot back?
will
i think you speak of shannon wise who went to orange coast college. i am not sure his whereabouts. will ask the boy tonight.
jeeter ishida’s arm woes have scared the pro’s away for now. i also believe that he wants to get his education in anyway.
i thought he would be a “draft n follow” selectee, but, i guess they are very concerned about his arm.
i thought kometani would also fall in this category. but, i guess not.
Thanks Al, I was thinking and maybe his last name was Asilay or something like that. He was recruited as an “Athlete” and if not slotback was going to be a safety. I believe he was all everything in high school and a superb athlete.
But would also appreciate the update on Shannon.
Chris Assily commited to UH a few years back.
UH tried to grayshirt him. But he didn’t qualify academically, and when he did, UH didn’t have a scholarship He went to a JC.
Chris Assily – googled:
Orange Coast JC.
to UAB Blazers ???
Perhaps someone , with more time, can pull up more info.
Midori7,
Thanks, but yeah I think fans will miss Daly and Hernandez next year, should Hernandez sign.
However, I would like to see some changes next season and see more time for Kramer on the mound.
Castillo an M? Whoo-hoo!!! We need pitchers!!! Dang, all we have are ball-throwers.
Hey, how is everyone tonight?
Aiiiie!
It is Juju’s birthday? Yeah! Now, try to remember what you do tonight, tomorrow.
Bwah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!

Great one-liners. There are some days I wonder similar kinds of things. I drive my kids crazy when I ask them those things.
I think they think I know they know I am crazy.
Howzit all.

SteveM: Hope you’ve turned the corner on that bug. It sounds like the same thing that knocked me down twice at the beginning of the year. The first time lasted almost two weeks and I felt exhausted the entire time. The relapse a few weeks later lasted about a week. Nasty thing. Normally, Zycam does the trick, but I guess this was a flu not a cold. Glad your blogging muscles still work.
Mike, did you continue to work, or did you lie in bed for 3 weeks?
SteveM ~ I know you are not feeling like the top knotch skipper of the Minnow that we all know and love, but snap out of it Captain, the 3 hour cruise is over!
Check your email box, I got tons of fan mail for you! (Sounds more like work, huh?) Nah…j/k…get your rest Cappy, and we’ll keep the wheel away from little buddy.
The Pau Hana crew must be having a grand time by now, ’cause I see the Seabirds flying towards our Wessie in sheer panic!
I have a family gathering to attend. It’s been a very emotionally charged week for me. Trying to keep it on an even keel. Hope you all had a most excellent Aloha Friday!
One more birthday wish for Juju and BG. My most important wish for both of you is continued good health.
Just got home from work just in time to say HAPPY BURTDAY JUJU! Wow! Annodah Gemini…even bettah…born on D-Day anniversary!
And den…latahz…our Midori was born on the longest day! I can say it out loud cuz she no stay around…stay doing the Tsaiko ting with UHFan. By the time she get up tomorrow morning, going get new post…hehehe
MERV – so glad that I got to meet you in Nawlins. You one guy with PLENTY Aloha Spirit. If you and your family ever get to Hawaii, the Tsaikos will ensure that you will have the time of your life! Guaranteed!
BG
Kekoa,
You’ve been the Rock of Kapolei in many ways. For the many things you do for the Tsaiko Ohana. For your dad. For your community. My prayers are again with you and Diana…for peace and serenity
I haven’t called because I don’t want to get in the way. But, if there’s anything (at all) that I can help with…please pick up the phone and call me.
BG
Tsaikos have made me feel really good with the nice comments. But, I have to set the record straight. Yes, I did arrange for the Richardson Field sites for the T-gates. But, it was Kazz, and Kazz alone who coordinated everything to make it the gigantic success it has become. And that’s the straight truth! We are blessed to have incredibly dedicated braddahs and sistahs…
BG
Hau’oli La Hanau Juju!
So…the Sugar Bowl list is out- what is irritating to me is that UH (Gregg Takayama) is quoted as saying UH only had three weeks to develop a policy and they did it on the fly…hmmm…first, there is precedence and second, how long does it take?
To me, you (UH admin and / or UH AD) make a few phone calls to other Universities and ask their cohorts how they have handled it (one day)…then the admin and / or UH AD checks with the Ethics people on what other Universities did and also specifically seeks guidance about anything UH wants to do which was not done by other Universities (one day)…policy is written as per suggestions from other Universities and with input gained from Ethics people (one day)…then UH admin and UH AD review, and make any suggestions for changing (one day)…then back to Ethics people for review (one day)…then approved by UH and followed.
If the above had been done, at least there would be no disagreement now b/t Ethics people and UH re: discussions which took place about formulating a policy in the first place…and paying for any children is bothersome, although I guess I can go along with some select spouses having their way paid.
In other news, support Hawai’i ‘boy’ Mark Kanemura on “So You Think You Can Dance” (I KNOW- I can hear the groans! But this IS pretty big time for a Hawai’i ‘kid’!)
Howzit Gang
Yates drafted? Did I miss it?
Kekoa- prayers are with you!
duffer- (snail) mail on its way- finally- e kala mai-
K sorry dis has nothing to do with the blog but my Samoan friend went tell me this joke I taught was pretty funny…
A Tongan man hired a Samoan man to work at his cattle farm in Tonga. He needed a bull, so he sent the Samoan man to Samoa to buy a bull. Before he left, the Tongan man gave the Samoan man $600 dollars to buy the best bull that he could find. He bought a bull that cost him $599 dollars which includes the shipping and handling costs to send it to Tonga. He went to wire a telegram to his boss in Tonga and realized he only had $1 dollar left. He asked the clerk how much to send a telegram? The clerk said it cost a dollar per word. He told the clerk to write down “Comfortable”
Kinda late, but Midori7, great bio!
Happy B-day to Rich, BG, and juju!
Shout out to Kekoa’s Pops!
Check out Sportscenter tonight, Shane Victorino is the #1 Play of the Day…
Pauoa Boy
Great to have you around again! Even the frantic-run-all over-the-place trip you just had seems to barely put a dent in your fandom!!! 😀
Gonna be quiet tonight while the Friday nite revelry is going on. Don’t know of any other blog where the folks get together on a regular basis.
Yeah I know quiet tonight, but das okay I looking up places for when I move next month already.
Going meet up with some of the LoCal Tsaiko crew once I head down south.
K get annodah joke for wen you guys read the blog lataz.
A Haole and Portagee was watching Monday Night Football together. The Haole guy said,” I bet you ten dollars the quarterback throws an interception the next play”.
The Portagee says, “You’re on”
Sure enough on the very next play the quarterback throws an interception. Shute says the portagee and hands the haole ten dollars.
” I cannot take your money” says the haole. ” I confess that I listened to this football game earlier this afternoon on the radio”
” So did I ” said the Portagee ” But I never thought he would be stupid enough to do it again”
For those of you who no get #346… in your best Samoan accent say ” Come for the bull” (Comfortable)
Going with the theme of Pauoa Boy’s entry 351…
True story:
Three people go to watch a UH Wahine Volleyball game. It’s early and they are watching the team go through their pre-game routine. They start talking about the match and which team has the better chance of winning.
One of the girls says that the ‘Bows going win. One of the other girls, who happens to be her sister says that UCLA get ’em. They go back and forth on it. Finally the girl who is picking UH to win says, “How you know? You watch ’em on TV already?”
And this is what happens when you grow up in a place where it’s common for sports broadcasts to be delayed on TV…
BG: Fri-nite-BIO
Since we’re doing Portagee jokes, here’s a good one.
My coworker, who is a Portagee from Boston, says he stopped reading it in the middle and checked his pockets. 😆
Miami had their mini-camp, so there is some news about Bess. This note mentions that Bess was dropping passes.
I do NOT think it was an accident that Miami’s offense moved the ball when Bess was on the field. Hopefully the reporter stops referring to Bess as “limited weaponry”.
Along the lines of guess the Tsaiko, try figgah which one was dis:
Meets a group of guys at a watering hole and eventually asks, ” So wat you guys meeting hea fo’?”
One of dem says, “We planning owa 40th Class Reunion.”
Tsaiko asks, “Fo’ real? Wat yea you guys grad?”
😯
Another Miami paper also had a report on practice. Interesting to see who will be on the starting OL with Samson.
This paper said that Henne looked shaky while the other paper said he did well.
This is an awesome website that has the predictions from all of the magazines, for this year and for many years back.
Lindy and Athlon pick UH to finish 4th in the WAC (both have Fresno as #1)
Phil Steele has UH and Nevada tying for 3rd in the WAC (BSU #1)
Sure Fire Scouting picks UH to finish 2nd in the WAC (BSU #1, Fresno #6)
If you look back at last year’s preseason predictions, the majority predicted UH to win the WAC.
I love how this website compares the preseason predictions vs. the end of season rankings to come up with a list of the teams that were underrated and overrated each season.
hey tsaikos,
just dropping in for a few, and see a few nightbirds around. on the way back to town from makakilo, HUGE FIRE IN KAPOLEI. between waipahu and punahou offramp, counted 5 fire trucks, 2 news vans (scoop jr.) headed west. as i came down makakilo drive, i could see the flames, looked about 3-4 stories high, in the residential area.
say a prayer for all families to be safe
congrats to kalua noa! good deal for him and his family. this kid can flat out FLY….once he gets the routes down…….buh bye………….cya………. hehe, he’ll be a good one.
Garret,
Howzit.
Any word on Boise settling on a QB?
Coming outta spring, there was no clear choice: Hamdan, Lomax and a coupla others split time in their spring game
Hope that fire is avoiding da ceded lands out west.
d1shima,
Howzit!
I think that the BSU coaches are doing what the UH coaches are doing–not announcing a starter now so that all of the QBs have a big incentive to work hard all offseason. Since the coaches cannot work with the QBs now, the depth chart there won’t be known until maybe the 2nd week of their Fall camp.
I figure that we’ll have a pretty good indication of the depth chart for the UH QBs by the end of the 2nd week of Fall Camp. Of course, the depth chart may change once the games start, as Tyler learned in 2005.
I think that I posted this in the last blog, but it it worth repeating: Congratulations to Kalua Noa! And congratulations to the Warriors for getting a great grayshirt recruit, one that will have an extra Spring Practice to get the hang of the offense and who will have time to develop before his eligibility clock starts. Kalua is set up perfectly to be ready to contribute when the JC WRs are done at UH in 2 years.
Believe it or not, I’ve got to get back to work. Everyone else is sleeping in my home but I’ve got to finish this document and send it out to the people working with me.
Before I go, I’ll do a free play link batch. Please ignore my next 5 posts if you do not want the off topic stuff.
Broadcom’s co-Founder and former CEO was indicted on charges that he had a drug warehouse (cocaine, meth, and X), hired prostitutes, and drugged business associates.
Video of the B-2 crash in Guam shows how amazing it was that the pilots survived the crash. You can skip the first 2 minutes or so of the video, as the first B-2 took off okay…the second one was the one that crashed.
Eh, post #354.
So what’s wrong with a bunch friends getting together for a good time. Just because they are bloggers no mean that what they do is open to the public.
So, what’s wrong with that? No feel insulted if you weren’t invited. This happens every day.
If i were you, i would be more concerned as to why is it that I wasn’t included.
Das what’s wrong!
The Tribune Company (owners of the LA Times, Chicago Tribune, and other papers) will cut costs by reducing the number of papers they print and laying off journalists.
Allowing ads to be placed inside of games will earn the PS 3 a projected $100 mil over 3 years! The XBox 360 already has a similar type of in-game advertising through an advertising company that Microsoft owns.
Woman received her 3rd DUI arrest in 6 years. Even worse was that she had her 3 kids in the car with her at the time (1, 5, and 8 years old). Even worse is that the 1-year-old child was behind the wheel when the police officer pulled her over!
Free play links pau.
Garret,
I guess I was just a little surprised to see Boise picked #1 by a couple of those mags. Johnson and Avery coming back is good news for them. Jeron Johnson is gonna be a playmaker on Defense.
haha What does BIO stand for? It looks like Bring It On, but that does not make much sense.
Don’t have much energy tonight. I’ve been napping intermittently since dinner time. Hubby is napping, too. Daughter came home after 9:30, ate supper, and is in her room watching TV.
My cat is outside staring at me thru the window, wanting more to eat. He’s too fat so I am ignoring him.
re: 373.
It didn’t take the new owner of the Trib long to make an impression with the writers

By Invitation Only
sheesh, D!, that video reminds me of Gannett.
By Invitation Only? I see.
Glad they like each other.
D1, you got any music videos?
gigi,
Zell has made a lot of money.
So has Gannett.
as for me,
I like what Liz posted earlier
Yeah, I agree with that post by Liz.
I hear Ed McMahon is facing foreclosure. He was out of work for 18 months due to a broken neck.
I was thinking same thing could happen to us.
gigi,

Ed is 85 years old!
What will we be like when we are that age?
…in keeping with the current theme.

gigi,
what were you like 14 years ago?
hey, I always liked that Burt Bacharach tune! It was one of my faves.
Great parodies.
yeah, I forgot I am 99. haha
hey juju, esme and princess – where you guys stay?? we came to visit you at the office but you guys slacking.
esme works at home now.
I wonder if Gannett offers birthday holidays. Hubby’s office does.
gigi,
For you Bachrach memories.
It;s the last minute.
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=0zOeYH2mQSM
Stretch,
Wat? Field trip?
gigi,
Birthday Holiday? Like Christmas? Presidents’ Day?
yeah, D1, it’s one of hubby’s perks. Gets the day off on his birthday.
Or he can cash it.
al,
Last Minute. That’s another band from back in the day.
gigi,
Christmas is a birthday.
Awww, that Bacharach tune ended prematurely. Funny how old music brings back memories. Like — what were you doing when you first heard it?
gigi,
How does your hubby’s company handle the .274% of the population who have their birthday on Christmas?
gigi,
That song?
I’m gonna say I was sitting in a theatre.
hmmm, good question. Dunno. I don’t think it’s ever come up with his company.
I heard Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head at the law firm I was working at in NYC. One of the attorneys loved to whistle it.
Or it could have been at the American Choreography Society convention
or while watching Ed Sullivan

hoo boy! Wunnerful BJ Thomas. I wondered what he looked like. So young and den.
Oh alright.
I’ll admit it; this is one of MY favorites.

THAT Sinatra video is my fave, too! Anything he sings is great. And all those glamorous movie stars — today’s stars cannot match them.
An Awesome Orchestra

I love anything by Rodgers and Hammerstein. Sound of Music is my favorite movie of all time. I saw it over 10 times. Thanks for that one, d1.
The last time you claimed it was BIO and that nobody sent you an email, you made a big stink on the blog. SteveM sent you the email with information and you claimed nothing was sent. You finally get the email a few days later due to your internet provider or email hosting or whatever wasn’t working, NOT due to SteveM BS’ing that it was sent.
