Les Keiter dies
Sad to learn that “The General”—Les Keiter — has passed away.

Running back Inoke Funaki was today’s guest on the Warrior Beat Show, which started at 10 a.m. He also stuck around to answer questions on the blog.
Here are Kahuku classmates Caryn Kunz and Inoke Funaki:

I know Mike Wilton’s outspokeness polarized folks. But here are two endearing qualities:
• He used to make his players learn the words to Hawai‘i Pono‘i. It was quite an aural experience to hear Costas Theocharidis, Dejan Miladinovic and Eyal Zimet sing Hawai‘i’s state song.
• He was among dozens of athletic department members who donated sick leave to the mother of an ailng child.
* * *
The case between Daniel Smith and UH is heading to mediation. Smith had filed a suit claiming UH reneged on a scholarship offer. The talks are set for June.

ST and Princess, have a great show today and will catch the replay later.
Good morning to all !!
Happy birthday to James. Hope you get some time to enjoy your day.
Will we see some of you at practice tomorrow morning?? We got to meet UKU@la last week. He has been a regular at the practices. He leaving for LA tomorrow night but will be at practice in the morning. Come down and meet him.
Have a great day!
Princess Leila, no forget my question for Inoke. Mucho gracias!!!!
Happy Birthday to (J)J!!!! time to go to breakfast of champions. see you all later.
Hello to all Tsaikos and all the ships at sea! So dang busy at work I hardly get to post these days, but still reading regularly.
Hey, bowfanny, enough with your disdain of JD. It’s old and unfounded. Allowing bolla to hire Mrs. Bolla was a great tactical move. It destroys a number of potential claims/lies. Are you really a litigator?
Top Ten, baby! Mojo and out!
Top 15… seems like the UH staff attorney will be busy this off-season. Unfortunately, its a sign of the times…
JIM DONOVAN,
you got witnesses for the defense right here.
gender equity??? pftttttt….
thats not what we’re said…. we said he was a crappy coach. for all the reasons we said, we never said gender equity. we said he ain’t inspiring the ladies, he yelling at da ladies, we heard rumors he wackin da ladies.. he’s for himself, he’s not for us, he like go Vegas, and we’re right in da middle of recruiting season…. go revisit da blog and check it out. and you got your biggest witnesses here. read between da lines.

Happy Birthday (J)J!!
Good morning Tsai-kos!!
Happy Birthday (J)J!!
re e-Bolla – I’m torn as to whether UH should settle or fight. On the one hand, I want him to go away with nothing and on the other hand, I just want him to go away as quickly as possible, without UH having to spend the time and money to fight him. I can’t believe he wants his job back. What planet does he live on?
bhf2
Cute ears????
Good morning, Tsaikos! And a big hello to BHF2!!! I gotta hand it to her, though…that’s a pretty creative comment about your ears.
Happy, happy birthday to (J)J, you Monarch!!!! May this be the first of many more happy birthdays. Have an awesome day….and don’t work too hard.

Inoke has to be a favorite of many–best wishes to the NS role model.
Howzit (J)J- Happy BDay bro!

Re: Scuffles
The best one was a few years ago, involving two soccer players. All of the football guys raced over to watch.
The worst fights were in basketball. During a timeout, Chad Hook tried to headbutt Micah Kroeger. Only Kroeger was too tall, and he ended up head-butting Kroeger’s shoulder.
Then there was the fight between 6-8 Lorenzo “Rennie” Gordon and 6-1 Thomas “The Hitman” Louden. Gordon started backing up, acting like he was going to do the rope-a-dope, only there were no ropes. Then he ran away. Nobody ever saw Gordon again.
Princess Leila ~ Enjoyed your company on the flight over to Maui, breakfast, and the Tsaiko mid-day repast. Can’t wait to see the vids you shot at the Stadium!
Don’t worry about Big Hilo Fan and his *crush* on Liz Chun, he is still your biggest fan. He told me how much he wish he could carry your camera bag for you, just before he almost fell out of the stands when Liz Chun pulled out her make-up kit!…Bwhahahaha!
good morning Tsaiko’s
Happy Birthday (J)J!! enjoy your last 3 years of being 30 something……um……ur……COUGH!
Happyestest Birthday to da bestest and hardestest workingestest public servant in da state! Have a greatestest datyBraddah James! 😆
eh, bowmojo, glad to hear u have a job. congrads.
BTW, 4 more ships at sea got hijacked in the gulf at aden today…not all is well in this world….capish?
Something I posted in yester-blog:
Bolla is now a crusader for gender equity???!!! Ain’t that a “kick in the pants”! 😆
Kekoa,
BHF would have to stand in line. Ha! I just reopened the door for more lame comments.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAMES (the original) !!!
…amazing how you can be 27 so many years in a row… 😆
Back to work for me. Laters.
(J)J Happy Birthday!
Interesting about the Bolla suit. Of course he could have brought it (non-compliance with Title IX) up way back when instead of diverting attention from the charges of hitting/abusing his players.
If there is non-compliance or even partial compliance with Title IX, the UH will have to remedy that in some manner or the other but it certainly should not benefit Bolla in his attempt to get $$ or his job back.
The main question has to be whether or not he was fired for cause. The cause is assault/battery, abuse of position – unfortunately lousy coaching and handling does not enter the equation.
My two-cents worth which should be adjusted for inflation.
I’m surprised HF wasn’t included in the lawsuit.
HF is the one who wouldn’t let him hire his wife or a director of operations.
JD approved both of those hires.
Howzit Everybody,
I feel this E-Bolla suit is a joke. I say that if he wants to file suit then we get all the girls he has physically and mentally abused and have them come back and file suit against him. E-Bolla is such a loser and is just trying to make himself feel better about himself. What a joke.
ST – how can he file a lawsuit against his best bud HF??!!?? HF gave him the fricken contract extension that is complicating the whole situation.
He didn’t include HF because they where kissing each other arses. When JD came in, the love affair was lost.
Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes…man, it feels weird turning 30…
d1…thanks for the wishes for all my dreams to come true….but so true, OTOH….LMAO….
Hiya!
Repost from last post:
INOKE FUNAKI: How are you feeling about your new position on offense? Are you starting to have FUN yet? (having fun usually indicates comfort and confidence in a position)
LizK
Did you move to the blue section?
HAPPY BIRTHDAY (J)J
Will you and Koa-mahu be blowing candles tonight?
Wouldn’t HF be the person that writes comments in Bolla’s personnel file? Obviously a lot was brushed under the floor mat. Plus HF was the nice guy since he extended Bolla’s contract. 🙄 😡
Eh J(J),
Happy Birfday Day braddah man.
Inoke – Are you sometimes mistaken for Japanese?
Hau’oli la hanau, (J)J!
A crucial four-game series for our baseball bowz begins FRI w the Sac St Hornets.
Sac (20-13, 1-3) visits the Les this weekend with six starters hitting above .302.
They are led by Blake Crosby (.405) and Tim Wheeler (.392).
Crosby has 51 hits and 36 rbis and Wheeler has furnished the power, with 12 roundtripers and a eye-catching 50 rbis.
The hornets have a .317 team BA.
They have beaten Oregon, Ariz, teams from the Big West and West Coast Conference.
They dropped three in Las Cruces to the Aggies and will want to rebound against Hawaii.
While the bows pounded the ball well in their last road trip, their pitching uncharacteristically went south allowing 35 runs in its three-game series w Nevada.
Jayson Kramer will have to get the bowz off to a good start with a strong performance on Friday.
Kolt Wong has been leading a team resurrgence in hitting.
Greg Garcia, Landon Hernandez, Vinnie Catricala, Kevin McDonald and Sean Montplaisir have also raised their averages.
Hawaii (4-3), trails NEV (5-2), NMSU (5-3) and SJSU (5-3).
NMSU is @ Reno for 4 while the sparts have a WAC-bye.
Best wishes to Coach Mike & staff and the bowz-boyz and see u @ the Les!
ummm…homey…nope…Koamahu is hanging out at a certain bar tonight in the Waipio area…I think KK is meeting him/her….LMAO
wf2, have u been to practice? whats ur opinion about the wrs and slots? thanks.
alexander is taking awhile to get back to last year’s form, i wonder how much longer till trap sends him to the pen. at least till he gets things straightend out.
(J)J – Sheesh, you are also being shown the luv on the pink side! Damn, I gotta make up a birthday too.
Homey ~ (J)J will be blowing smoke as usual…be sure to check wind direction before driving near the capital. 🙄
Will you be attending practice in the AM? If you were to attend practice, would you be warning a certain QB that the evil twins are stalking him? He did a very good job of ‘looking’ them off at War Memorial. 😎
homey,
Let me know what day, I can handle that!
Happy Birthday (J)J!
This Mock draft has Washington taking Sanchez. That would bury Colt’s chances to play, especially since they would have to give Sanchez a lot of reps in the preseason.
Inoke…which of your younger fellow alumnis, you think, will see significant playing time this season? RT; PF; AT;.
Kekoa – He looked them off because he had to rush to his flight so he wouldn’t miss his class. 😆
duffer – Yeah, I noticed you started the thread on the pink side!
Rivals ranked the coaches for the non-BCS conferences…and they really dissed Mac! They have him at 51 out of 54 coaches.
We’re a little short on questions for Inoke going into the show. More questions would be great! Thanks!
Sandee
This reporter suggests that schools play each other in spring games…kind of like a 2-game NFL preseason (so everybody gets a home game). This could bring in additional revenue for all schools. Other NCAA sports get to have these types of preseason scrimmages…
Inoke: Most players in the past who played QB (Matt Jones, Hines Ward, Antwann Randle El) end up playing receiver later in their careers. In your case, why running back? And second question, is Princess Leila awesome looking? Lastly, what about Mr. Tsai? Is he pretty? Thanks…
Time for a question for Mr. Funaki:
How many times have coaches told you that you were too small to play football?…and how did it feel when you proved to them you could?
Enjoy this season young man, you are a great role model for so many local boys!
Inoke,
How many concussions do you think you have had in the past? Can you describe the recovery process from a concussion?
Inoke,
Which defenders have been the hardest for you to block this spring?
Marve apparently has decided to transfer from Miami to Purdue.
Inoke…what was the biggest thing you had to change when your position changed? I’m sure you bulked up…or at least it looks like you’ve added some…but as far as vision, technique, etc. what was your biggest challenge. Thanks.
Garret- re #62 – nothing speaks louder than actions. Hawaii gets dissed anyway. Our “system qb” CB15/5 reference still makes my hackles rise a little….
MLiz – You have feathers or hairs on your neck? Is it thick? GROSS!
Technical difficulties?
Take 2
There goes homey again, instigating!! 👿
Oh, uh, hi homey!! 😀
duffer- I haven’t renewed yet. So far I’m the only one in the gang who wants to sit in blue. I would rather not sit by “myself” 🙁
m-homey… FEATHERS… 😈
lgw, brah we prolly share the same opinion on slots and receivers, but my particular focus will be on Coach Ron and Gordie. yep, Gordie!
#1, what adjustments will CRL make on his triple-option routes? It’s a learning-curve variable and u got to want a Rodney Bradley to learn quick, cuz that may create a situation to move Salas to slot. A move, I believe, will help Greg Alexander.
#2 What Malcolm Lane will show up in August?
We need Malcolm taking balls away from defenders in a crowd. He has the talent….it’s his senior year, he needs to show-up big.
#3 Can Coach Shaw get it going on the OL to create a more stable pocket and create view channels for our QBs?
Its a combination of QB-WR telepathy, route-simplicity and sustained blocking.
John Estes is in a position to help Coach Shaw with his all-wac talent and leadership. Get after your boyz Big John n keep ’em focused.
#4 naturally, our WR corps will be better at Camp-stage than it was last year.
great assests!
Kealoha Pilares should have a great year, if left at slot.
KP has a strong work-ethic.
Greg Salas will be good no matter where he plays, his hands are magic-velcro.
#5 depth. We have mucho assests and prolly the best depth ever.
Stuzz2 is intriguing….even as a true frosh.
Throw in Javonte, Blount, Tinoco, Pollard, Medeiros, Henry and Bell. Ill be taking a better look at Micah at camp to check his growth and mechanics. He has the natural athletic instincts, but is he a relentless-grinding-fiesty-Chad–dunno?…yet.
One of the worst concussions I ever experienced took away a 4 hour block of time that I could never recall. My question is:
Did that happen to you?…and if so do you often find yourself trying to remember what you experienced during that blank spot?
Please be sure to get an MRI at least annually to check on things.
Hi jm####, I’m learning the art of instigating from Rob25.
MLiz – A cougar with feathers?
Oops!…Sorry Princess, #79 was for Mr. Funaki to answer please!
thanks. will be interesting to see how things unfold, lots of guys battling for the starting spots. i really like pilares and salas. havent been able to see blount or henry yet, but they come with great hype, so we shall see.
Happy Bifday to the most famous outlaw of the West – er, wrong guy, but just a famous Tsaiko (J)Jesse
hi inoke good morning inoke you been running the ball very well keep working hard , inoke you are a great leader among your team mates. god bless you and hava a good day.
Inoke,
What do you need to work on the most in your transition to RB? Blocking? Blitz recognition?
Another Warrior Beat show with over 1000 viewers! WTG Wai and Tsai!
Stan Manley:
love your last 2 questions – that’s “classic!!” LMAO.
great questions.
You got to love Funake.
He is a product of good parenting, everything that is right about football and possessed with a humble, selfless, sharing nature.
I wonder who are the players that autographed the bat on the table?
inoke is a good guy. best of luck to him this season.
A-House…maybe not a faous wild west outlaw…but I may be noted as the Outlaw Tsaiko, biker…err, I guess Mike T is also a biker….and resident bad boy Tsaiko…LMAO…
Again, thanks for all the B-Day wishes….
Inoke is going to stick around for a few more minutes and chat on the blog.
errrr…faous=famous….
[Comment From LizKauai]
Inoke- in 2007, the keyword was BELIEVE. What do you think the keyword will be for this year’s team?
Discipline. Because coach McMackin has been mentioning a lot in our meetings about how he’s noticed good work ethic from our team during the spring. I think discipline is needed to have the type of work ethic that we need in order to be successful this year. I feel that discipline is what is going to help us to grow and get better.
[Comment From Stretch]
Do you think going on your mission has helped you adjust to the position changes you had to go through on the football field??
Definitely, I think the life lessons I learned on the mission have carried over into my life after the mission. I’ve learned from Church and being on the mission that everyone is important, and with football, like I was talking about earlier, that every player has an important role, whether they are the quarterback, the receiver, running back, or even scout team player. They help to contribute to the team. It’s helped me to be understanding as to no matter where they put me on the field or off the field, I can contribute in some way.
lgw, blount is someone who can make it difficult for defenders after-the-catch with his jittery, shake n bake moves. Henry is smooth and hopefully can catch on to our system.
homey,
the Florida boosters we sat by last year couldn’t pronounce Inoke’s name, so they called him OkeeFanokee like their swamp. they were really worried about us in the first half and didn’t know what was going on.
[Comment From Musubiman808]
Hey Inoke, aside from football whats your favorite pastime activity?
I love playing basketball; it’s actually my favorite sport. If I was good enough in basketball I would have probably tried to play somewhere.
Inoke,
Are you working the coaches to get the “Bulldog” position changed to “Raider” or “Red Raider”?
[Comment From kimo]
Inoke Knowing that you were a QB did coach design some trick plays?
We haven’t talked about it in detail. But from the sound of it, it seems like there could be some possible some tricks up our sleeves. IF I can take care of the basics of the running back position. A baby has to drink milk first before he can eat meat.
Inoke- mahalo!!!
[Comment From John]
Inoke – you seem so calm and collective in person – are you the same on the field? How do you keep your composure?
I like to believe that I’m calm and collected on the field. Sometimes I can be very hard on myself and very critical. I try to keep my composure by just trying do my responsibilities and what the coaches ask of me and not worry about everyone else. I just let them do what they’ve been coached to do.
[Comment From Brian]
Will you possibly be used as a last resort QB? Meaning, are you still studying the playbook as a thrower?
Yeah, definitely. In practice, as we do team and 7-on-7, I still have the habit of watching the routes because I’ve been a quarterback for so long, that’s what I’m conditioned to look for. A lot of times I’ll get caught up watching the receiver, and the routes and if the ball went to the right place. I’m still in tuned to what’s going on. I still try to throw, just in case. You never know. When the coaches put me at running back, they just wanted to try me out. It wasn’t an official move; they just wanted to see if it was a possibility. We’ll see through spring what the coaches want to do.
[Comment From Chad Seattle]
Inoke, what is the moral of the team after last years disappointing loss to Notre Dame. Do you feel this year’s team is more experienced and ready to thrive. What are your personal goals and expectations for yourself and the team?
Last year was last year, and we’ve moved on. You can’t dwell on the past and I think everyone is trying to take last year’s experience and make this year a better one. You learn from the past, you live in the present and prepare for the future and that’s what we’re trying to do as a team. I feel this year’s team, especially on offense, has a lot more experience. I do feel that we should and can do a lot better. My personal goals and expectations are to do what the coaches ask of me, whereever it is, and I trust that our coaches will use me in whatever way is best for the team.
[Comment From chawan_cut]
Mr. Funaki, what did you guys as players think of the practice on maui? Was it just another practice? Or did it help to get away from Manoa for a day?
It was a fun experience. When you have trips or experiences like that it builds camaraderie and it was nice to get away from your daily scenes and experience something different. I thought it was really thoughtful and considerate of the coaches and administration to go out there and try to give back to Maui.
It was great seeing you here in the newsroom, Inoke! Good luck with everything. 😉
Aloha Inoke,
I’m wishing you a very successful Senior year.
You’ve practiced against last year’s defense and you’ve been around the 2006 and 2007 versions of the Warrior Defense. Where do you think our strengths in defense will be this year?
Aloha Inoke! If someone already asked you this, just ignore it but ever senior seems to have their own shirt made.
Any idea what yours will look like if you are planning on having one made?
Mahalo,
Kevin
I guess the only time you you come out from hiding is when there is a Red Raider in the house??
Thanks for all the support and aloha!
Later alligator…
Inoke … just want to let you know I’m a big fan. Thank you for being a good role model for all the kids in Hawaii. You’re going to be a success no matter what you are doing both now and in the future.
I was waiting for Uce2 to ask some questions or make some comments since he loves the poly players…..
Stretch and g’nalo:
the tables were hot last week paying off in the mid to high 4 figures and low 5 figures.
would have loved to see both of you in action!!!!!!!!!
Ah crap…. Lataz Mistah Funaki!!!!!!
😆
That’s da kine on-line personalities that are all talk and no tunda…
Stretch – Maybe he mistook Inoke for Japanese. 😆
Stretch and g’nalo:
the tables were hot last week paying off in the mid to high 4 figures and low 5 figures.
would have loved to see both of you in action!!!!!!!!!
wh..wha….WHAT! good for you A-House and proof you weren’t the “schlep rock” last time, haaa
yep, would’ve loved to have “seen” that action.
well i missed it.
but, i shall never forget this inoke funaki quotable,
“A baby has to drink milk first before he can eat meat.”
….post # 100 Inoke Funaki: April 14th, 2009 at 10:51 am
that is spoken so tsaiko-ese.
DISCIPLINE
wow, only an inoke funaki could make that one word statement.
…nuff said
mahalo inoke.
i tell you this now. if inoke has the opportunity to play a major role on this year’s team and starts reeling off some chunks of real estate. he alone will bring another 10,000 to the stadium each week.
why, even dpk may show up for a game or two.
(j)j(j)
happy birthday brother!
#2 also wishes you well on this day. having told him that you said you were thirty, he said, “oh, he look old for his age.”
mwahahahaha.
on another note, yah, i hope you don’t get all of your birthday wishes to come true, too. otherwise, we gotta go call for a 5 alarm bell.
The question is if Inoke karaokes will al show up at a KK?
I missed the chat!!!
Happy Birthday (Jesse)James! May your tummy always be full
jojo – yep, one of the few things you missed…
for sure…if inoke shows up so will i. but we need to discuss this over lunch one day.
I can visualize this bash…. down to the grills (which through some non-coincidence looks like the ones at Richardson Field} 🙂
“You learn from the past, you live in the present and prepare for the future and that’s what we’re trying to do as a team.” Wise words. With comments like that, Inoke may find himself back at quarterback.
With Greg Alexander admitting himself he was not ready in the early part of last season and Rausch’s arm a question mark, Funaki’s heroics in the road game against FSU helped get us to a bowl game.
No doubt he’ll contribute a lot this season.
Rather than call the new “hybrid” position the “Bulldog”, I think we should call it the “Inoke”. He’ll run the ball, catch it, pass it and block as well. We already see how good he’s becoming at RB, let him do all of those things and the defense will have a really tough time time stopping him.
DPK – If Inoke did all that he’d be all buss up. The D would go head hunting for him even if he didn’t have the ball.
NFL schedule just released. For those headed to Seattle for the UH-WSU game, the Seahawks play the next day on Qwest Field.
Hybrid position could be called the “Warrior”. Trick em and stick em. Funaki confuses the dee while GA throws the bomb down the field.
I’m going to be looking for instinct development on both sides of the ball this year.
Rams at Seahawks…home opener on 9/13
MLiz – Instinct development?
djmitcho
Stretch going be glad about that!
homey-
You better tell the coaches that because isn’t that what they’re talking about doing with him anyway? Or is he strictly an RB now. If that’s going to buss him up then, never mind.
DPK – In your scenario I see him as an almost exclusively every down offensive player. That’s why I replied getting all buss up.
So, according to al, if Inoke plays a major role this year, you’ll be at a game or two. See you there!
dang, someone hit the megabucks, 33 mil, at Terrible’s. it cost her only $3. ooooooohhhhhhh my aching arse!!!!!!
coach Funaki yeah.
I will definately be at that game!!
Looks like Cincy plays at Oakland the day after the SJSU game. hmmm…
#134- yeah, m-homey… Transcendental Football !!! 😆 😎
MLiz – One day I will know what Transcendental means. Sounds like something a dentist would do.
😆
afternoon gang!
happy birthday (j)j !
happy belated birthday dpk!
did Inoke mention what his major is?
i can see him as a teacher and a coach
Loa – He’s probably a Tsaikology major.
Addahknowsports- did you see this???
http://www.cnn.com/2009/US/04/14/spanish.beads/index.html
Wow!
al…not old…distinguished….LOL and tell #2, when is he coming out with us…MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA
(Jesse)James,
#2 waiting to go on tour to Manila with whitey!
distinguished = weather beaten
Hey homey, stretch, duffer…try going to the pink side and looking at the cougar thread….LMAO
(J)J – Why would we go to see BYU posts?
duffer…you mean he didn’t go yet? I thought he was going to tour southeast asia next with bruddah g?? MWAHAHAHAHHA
Jesse (James) –
HAPPY BIRTHDAY! to my dear friend. No matter that Koamahu is linked to you. He/she is a Tsaiko/Tsaikette, loyal and lovable…that’s all that counts. Hope all your birthday wishes come true!
DPK –
BELATED HAPPY BIRTHDAY GOOD WISHES TO YOU! another of my dear friends. Just getting readjusted to Hawaii time. Had a roaring fun time in LV, but it’s nice to be back home. Hope all your birthday wishes come true, also.
Mrs. A-House
It’s (Jesse)James 🙂
Just joking!
homey…oh, is that what that’s about….???
Thank you very much, Mrs. A-house. Glad to see you had fun in Vegas. Welcome back!
Stretch & G-Nalo –
Come Sept. 19 for UNLV/UH showdown, stay close to A-House when he hits the craps table. Don’t want to put too much pressure on him, but back-to-back 45 min. to 1-hour rolls over the course of two days were really special, and he’s confident he’ll remember how he did it, too. I don’t ever remember him being so happy (not even on our wedding day), smiling constantly, planting wet smooches on my cheek…telling me he’d buy me anything I wanted…Big Mac, Whopper, Super-sized fries…skies the limit! What a guy!
🙂 HAPPY BIRTHDAY 2 U 🙂
🙂 HAPPY BIRTHDAY 2 U 🙂
🙂 HAPPT BIRTHDAY 2 MY HONEY, SWEETIE, BABEEE 🙂

No make me jealous, I can only dream of being on the same table with someone who knows how to roll the dice
Mrs. A-House…yeah..I’ll stick to Mr. A-House….and have the Fred Flintstone syndrome….”bbet…bbet…bet…bet…betttt….bet”
JJ – my problem is that the word “press” comes out of my mouth
Jesse (James) or James (Jesse) or (Jesse) James or (James) Jesse –
Whatever you call yourself, you’re still the same good-looking, charming and talented Damien Monarch alumni who keeps the State legislators in line with much needed bulldog vigilance.
Duffer –
It’s not nice to make fun of a senior citizen, especially one as sweet and sensitive as myself. j/k too.
BTW – Huge mahalo to you and Whitey for hosting Midori7 and the other Tsaikos/Tsaikettes this past weekend. The genuine warmth, hospitality, and generosity of resident Tsaikos on the neighbor islands are second to none.
Happy Birthday (J) J!
…..have a good one, brother.
H-bod – Seeing that Koa-mahu has something special planned I’m sure that (J)J will have a good one.
Good to hear from you Hawaiianbod!
When are we going to be graced with your presence again? It’s been a long time. Hope all is well with you.
Bolla’s case must have got bhf2 going,

Mrs. A-House
Luv U! 🙂
Man, I just get so excited reading Koa-mahu’s posts. Everything’s tingling along my loin areas. You guys crack me up…
If anybody got Koa’s digits, hit me up.
great show, just watched the replay

also noticed Stephen no more the flower anymore
MM – 867-5309
duffer – did you folks feel the quake on Maui?
Loa – That’s your phone number! You are Koa-mahu?
Loa – I figure gotta be you since you are the only one who noticed ST’s flower was missing. You go girl!
A happy birthday to a fellow Monarch. Viriliter Age — apparently that is what Koa-Mahu wants from you.
Bwah-ha-ha-ha-ha!
homey – LMAO
Hi Rob25! Miss u guys. One of these days.
howzit Loa!
I see ST’s twitter mentions he has a bee problem.
Which reminds me…
Why did the bees go on strike?
Because they wanted more honey and shorter working flowers!
homey,
and everyone calls me lame?
So, manoa mist is Koamahu….the secret is out….LOL
Stephen,
are you sure this is the right high school class reunion? don’t go hugging the wrong people…
C_C….you can’t be lame…the girl at TJs said you weren’t when I asked her…
Loa,
No!
Pushing for 200…
go!
(J)J – It’s LOA!!!
chawan – Feel free to use that joke as a pickup line or icebreaker.
I’ll help.
Who is a bee’s favorite painter?
Pablo Beecasso
Who is the bee’s favorite singer?
Sting
😆
Manoa Mist – mmmm. If it’s alright wit J (J) den it’s all good wit me.
homey ℞ – actually never said was my number, although some could say i had the hair to match
Loa – So (J)J is Koa-mahu! You are better than Columbo!
C_C ~ You did have to bring that up again about ST going to the wrong meeting room. Ha!…you know he’s gonna get you for that! You better ask Wena for help. Build a Lego School building for her. She finally got her building permit thru the maze.
howzit hawaiianbod!
OMG homey went to the lameside!

Okay gang…another prayer request for a “Pink” Lady friend of ours…
Big C’s uncle is ill and she is asking for prayers for him. So, if we can send the power of the Tsaiko prayer over to Big C’s uncle it would be much appreciated.
BTW, she was kind of shame to ask…I realllllllyyyyy don’t know why…but, anyway…if the Tsaikos can lend out a prayer…I know we’ve done that in the past and it has worked…..
Much mahalos.
Stretch & G-Nalo –
Come Sept. 19 for UNLV/UH showdown, stay close to A-House when he hits the craps table. Don’t want to put too much pressure on him, but back-to-back 45 min. to 1-hour rolls over the course of two days were really special, and he’s confident he’ll remember how he did it, too. I don’t ever remember him being so happy (not even on our wedding day), smiling constantly, planting wet smooches on my cheek…telling me he’d buy me anything I wanted…Big Mac, Whopper, Super-sized fries…skies the limit! What a guy!
haaaa, hi Mrs A-House………good to hear you guys did well.
not many things more exciting that a good roll, so its understandable if A-House is STILL flexing his forearms.
stevem just got another new blogger think he’s from Oahu somewhere in waimanalo and goes by the name of gheee
g-nalo…and you know, when I see Mr. A-House at the gym…da guy can lift…he puts me and homey to shame…so you know he has the big forearms….
😯
just finishing listening to the live chat with Inoke. my added congrats to a well spoken individual and outstanding young man. not to mention he is a supa athlete. whether it be the bullet, raider, run and shot or any other scheme UH thinks of he will make it work.
I admit that I do not know the identity of Koa-mahu . Without the tracing data from ST and the techies, it is an interesting mystery.
Of course, I have my suspicions… 😛
On a slow blog day, I think we should have nominations as to who we think Koa-mahu is… maybe list our top 3 suspects (max.) and later compile it to see who “wins” the election 😆
Jason — you feel like compiling the votes?
shoots stevem I in but you gotta guarantee to give out the true and honest name if not den no good. should there be incentive
Happy birthday James!
SteveM: No thanks, I don’t want to be involved in anything associated with Koa-mahu. 🙂
Koakane — I’m just curious who would be voted in as the most likely/popular to be Koa-Mahu. Some things should remain a mystery…especially since Koa-mahu has gone a very long time here without any identifying slips that I’ve noticed.
Of course, hard to make slips when the topic is so one-track minded 😯 But I have narrowed my suspect list to 5… 😉
Happy Birthday (J)J!
Koa-mahu is still waiting so he/she/it can give you that big ‘surprise’. Bwahahahaha!!!!!!
Happy Birthday (Jesse)James…
Wow, they just said on KITV that Les Keiter died.
KHON has it on their Web site:
http://www.khon2.com/home/ticker/43014792.html
stevem my take is this we either find out or not. at time for me its not as funny as before and I am sure others associated with the allege moniker gets upset also.
I have gotten messages from other and I can name a few to stop making allegations. And I have. So to be fair we either do or not.
And on another note my condolence to Les Kiter (sp) the General family on his passing he was a good man.
And Stephen has it up top too.
Wow, first Kalas, now Keiter. Very sad couple of days.
Holy cow I didn’t even see this earlier but…
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAMES!!!
Kazz: Did you see my post last night, concerning those extra tickets of yours?
Kazz: Where do you sit again, end zone? I might be interested in taking one of those two seats, if you don’t mind.
Inoke Funaki,
Cannot say enough about this guy, can tell he one natural born leader. Just pau watch the replay of todays show and I was glued to the screen listening to every word bruddah said. Very inspirational guy and I know his teammates gravitate and feed off that. Nothing against the other running backs in the stable but with Inoke in the backfield, just his presence alone would make opposing defenses she-she pants! Besides, I think he can be a big surprise this year and probably invent a new position based on how talented he is throwing, running, blocking, etc… Kind of reminds me of like the Scottie Pippen of football. The Point/Forward type. A guy with the knowledge of the whole offense who can make plays with the ball in his hands and also hold it down and bang with the big boys if needed. Anyway, I know he mentioned about getting his Master’s Degree and working on a PHD, but I feel as talented as he is, he could play professionally somewhere! If I was an NFL scout I would definitely love to have a player like him on my team!
Only got one thing to say about that prick Bolla… Beat It Geek!!!
first harry and now the general.
ah, fond memories of a youngster listening to the play by play that these great broadcasters of yesteryear did share with those who could only dream of being there.

LMAO, how you going ask if Princess Leila is awesome looking den ask if ST is pretty??? Wow lau lau you confused or what?
FYI…they no call Leila Princess for nothing…she’s winnaz mos def
Very sad to hear about the General’s passing. He was such a kind, gentle mentor to so many. Rest in peace.
deepest condolences to the keiter family. what’s going on with all these passings??
ST good neighbor:
Are you going to break out the basketball recruits news after midnight to night? NLI day tomorrow.
2 verbals and 4 scholarships to offer – what surprise(s) do you have in store for us? any “local” players?
Clicking on Chawan’s #73 post yesterday, I visited the hawaiisports.com site and scrolled down to see what Coach Mack and his staff were looking for in 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013.
Interestingly, I see a lot of “smaller” QBs, players from Florida, Texas, Nevada, and of course California. Yet, several from the Pacific Northwest and very few from Hawaii. I’m sure the list is very incomplete at this point in time.
The 6’8″ DT from Florida caught my attention. Believe he is a sophmore in high school now. Why would he want to play for Hawaii when he can go to Florida, Florida St, Miami, South Florida, etc? If he is good and signs LOI to Hawaii, some one or many someones did a very good marketing job for the Warriors.
Happy Birthday to (J) James
Wassup All!
Great show today with Inoke Funaki….learn sumtin’ erryday…he not Japanese!
heheheh
Condolences to the family of “The General”. 🙁
Condolences to the Keiter family.
Another article about how the Dolphins are interested in David Veikune.
Article that provides analysis of the football schedules for D-IA provides some interesting information. WAC teams are playing 7 games against D-IAA schools, same as last year. WAC schools are playing 3 home games against BCS Conference schools and 12 road games against BCS Conference schools.
I would love to watch the WB show tonight, but today has been extremely busy and I’m really sick right now so I need to get to sleep…sleeping before midnight will be so weird! The free play links will be posted early tonight because I’m about to go to sleep–please ignore them if you do not want the off-topic stuff.
Commentary on how a decision is needed soon on banning wireless microphones that use the 700 MHz band. Current wireless microphone users (businesses, schools, community theaters, social organizations, etc.) may not realize that their wireless microphones have been violating the law.

mmmm.
thank you duffer and whitey
thank you stretch and a-joe for being the transporters back here.
Scientists say updates on social networking tools like Twitter could numb our sense of morality and make us indifferent to human suffering. Studies found that the streams of information provided by social networking sites are too fast for our brain’s “moral compass” to process and could harm the emotional development of young people.

My Deepest Sympathy to the “General”s family…….”Old soldiers never die..they just fade away” a quote from the American Caesar ….General Douglas McArthur
Most battery R&D is being done in Asia now, but Kentucky has organized a partnership between its two largest Universities (Louisville and Kentucky) and Argonne National Lab to develop the next generation of battery technology. Federal stimulus money and some state money will be used for the venture. Toyota, GM, and Ford all manufacture cars in Kentucky. I wish that Hawaii would work with UH to go after an emerging research topic that could bring a whole new business…maybe make Hawaii a center for alternative energy research?
Philadelphia cable network was showing the Good Friday service from the Vatican…but a glitch resulted in them switching to a “Girls Gone Wild” commercial!
Free play links pau.
Fans who bring a Nintendo DS (including the new DSi) to a Seattle Mariners game will get special content sent to their DS by ESPN…this is another way that teams can enrich the experience of being at the game for fans.
Anybody else doing taxes tonight?
Before I go to sleep, I had to post this article about how Wyoming is going after Polynesian recruits. I can’t imagine a Polynesian pipeline to Wyoming, but apparently Mike Fanoga is a very good recruiter…and the more Polynesian players they get, the more attractive a destination it will be to future Polynesian recruits…
geeze, wyoming getting verbals already. i wonder when we’ll start getting some 2010 verbals…

manytimes UH coaches get tips from friends, associates, family, alumni, etc. MACs bunch is extremely interactive with their contacts.
It may do well to land one recruit in a particular geographical area that may lead to others.
However, when looking at MACs commits over his 2-years, the high school players are all from Hawaii and the western regions with the notable exception of Destin Stewart, who is from OKL.
Ditto w JUCOs.
MAC is a speed guy, and rightfully so.
Hawaii is deep in certain types of players and shallow in others.
There are risks in going beyond the Mississippi.
JJ learned that the hard way.
Once you trust in MACs recruiting-organizational skills, the rest is easy.
D wins and speed is the sine quo non of D.
Ill say it again, until we get shut-down corners and safeties that cover the width in a heart-beat, we will remain mediocre on D.
When you have a front that attacks, you need your backside to cover. its that simple.
Hawaii has more Polynesian players than any other D1A team in the nation, so wazzup?
geez, has anyone being to Laramie?
Isnt that where the US trains its POW guards for Gitmo. Lol.
look, if u guyz are worried about reverse migration–dont.
Aside from sheep and homophobics, you can hike along the powerline trails and strum on a six-string ukulele.
its a great life at Laramie, especially if you are a major in husbandry.
Good Evening Tsaikos!!
Sad news on Keither, Condolences to the family. It was cool to just hear Neil Everett announce the passing at the end of the ESPN broadcast.
chawan_cut: I loathe you. 😀
My condolences to the Keiter family.
My earliest memories of Les Keiter was as the voice of the Islanders, doing live and re-creation broadcasts… and his phrase “ringed-tailed howitzer”. He will be missed.
wf2, i can see you not an aggie or have any knowledge of what farm life is like. farmers and ranchers are probably the most honest and warm hearted you will meet outside of hawaii, so no make inuendos, inuendos, inuendos. sound familiar????
Tomorrow is tea party day across the nation.
naturally, we in hawaii luv our taxes and dont complain like good citizens and will sing our praises for Mufi,
I’ve been workin’ on mufi’s-rail,
All the live long day.
I’ve been workin’ on da elevated rail,
Just to spend every dime i own.
Don’t you hear the tax collector callin?
Rise up and pay your garbage-fee.
Don’t you hear the CPA shouting
“Brahda, blow your wads?”
Bradah, won’t you pay,
Bradah, mufi wants to play,
bradah, let’s start at kapolei.
Have a nice April 15th day 🙂
wf2, what’s wrong with being a husbandry major?????. i majored in animal husbandry and graduated in animal science when they change the name. what did you grad in????
eh, whitey, no make like dat, we get aggies at UH and they clone sheep, now da buggahs like clone taro.
geezus, what next?
Good evening Tsai-kos!
Condolences to the family of Les Keiter. I remember listening to his Islanders broadcasts on the radio as a little kid.
Long day at work. Just got home from a meeting where my boss got into an argument with another committee member. I almost got up and walked out, but decided I value my job and stayed put.
you sure they like clone taro??? or is it that they want to modify the genes so the taro is resistent to taro diseases??? get big difference between cloning and modification. you had vaccination for thyphoid or tetanus, very similar to gene modification, but not true gene modification, but prevents you from having the disease.
I started out at lanikila day care and got my ged from koolau CCC. then went to the kakaako university of higher learning and received my degree in SOHK.
husbandry?
I know kahikinui on maui has a carrying capacity of 1:2000, compared to the Anna Perry-Fiske parcel at Waimea with a 1:1 CC and rode the humuula padlocks with parker paniolas and roped-branded pipi. wrong guy cowboy.
wf2, just to let you know that i went to school at iowa state and spent many hours on the farm and working at the univ farm, so whenever anyone puts down farmers or ranchers, i do not take it to kindly. i still have many friends who either farm or ranch and visit them every other year. ok, said my piece, time to move on to something else.
warriorfanny2: You’re singing the wrong song! Tomorrow’s song is the one about federal taxes. Monday, you can sing the song about state taxes. 😀
take up your taro “thesis” w Mililani Trask, et al, if u dare. lol.
whitey, you need mother’s milk–i cant help u.
Jason, Mufi’s (municipal) taxes and fees come every month, ie, real property taxes and every day–fees, etc.
GET (state) taxes comes daily from sales.
Yeah, but federal tax day deserves a federal tax song, don’t you think? 🙂
sad to see our old time announcers going from this world, but send my best to their respective families.
10% of the US tax payer-population pays 72% of the federal income taxes.
So, celebration is mixed.
Some are laughing, others are crying.
I still remember my Dad telling me about how he would listen to Les Keiter’s recreated games. I could imagine him reading the latest updates off the wire and recreating them, making stuff up. 😀
Re-Jake Ingram
Early this morning, I was listening to 1420, and Gary Dickman is subbing for BC. He’s interviewing Jake Ingram, long snapper, and a NFL draft prospect.
Before I get into the interview, let me make an observation on GD. In the past I’ve read comments from posters here maligning GD and the Animal Show, saying basically how ill conceived the show is. But when I see GD working solo away from CH he does a helluva better job. He comes across with added maturity and there’s not this aura of goofiness I see when he’s paired with CH in the afternoon show. This morning he’s was good, especially when he interviewed Jake.
About the interview with Jake, GD asks the questions in rapid fire succession, which is something I’d admire–and he asked some good ones. For it seemed like when you’re listening to the interview you getting your bang for the buck. It was great. Boom,boom,boom-squeezing in so many questions and answers so the radio listeners can extract as much information on Jake in the interview–and they did, surely. I did…
Facts I learned from GD’s interview with Jake
1. He presently weighs 233 lbs. And scouts want him to get to 240 lbs.
2. This last year he made 8 tackles. With 2 coming in the Senior Bowl game.
3.NFL teams scouts said to him:
a) They like his velocity on the snaps
b)They like the way he runs down the field on punt coverages
c)They like the way he doesn’t telegraph his snaps
4. A lot of what he learned about long snapping he is quoted as saying he picked it up from the internet
5.His brother, also a long snapper, has been long snapping since the Pop Warner days–and is due to arrive at UH for the fall camp.
6.Has no preference on what team he wants to play for, saying that with 32 teams out there he’d be happy to find a spot
7. He’s is privy to knowing which teams are having long snappers retiring or ones getting to the end stages of they’re careers, but reserved comment on which teams are showing the most interests in him. Something to the effect he’d rather keep things under wraps.
8. During the games on the sidelines he’s likely to be gripping the ball, lining the laces up–holding, squeezing the ball to get a feel for the ball. He mentioned that cold, wet weather making long snapping an added chore.
9.He will be here in Hawaii during the draft.
10. He likens long snapping as being able to throw the perfect spiral, but doing it upside done ( which makes sense to me).
One note to add is that it was during Jake’s sophomore year I remembering listening on the radio to Coach Jones predicting that Jake was going to play on Sundays. And at that time, honestly, I thought it was Coach Jones going overboard with his evaluation…and maybe I laughed to myself at another one of Coach Jones wild ideas…but you see look what happened– Coach Jones was creditable right. And my hats are off to Coach Jones on what he saw back then…and to Jake in the upcoming draft and his past performances for the Warrior team.
Having a cerebral type interviewee, like Jake, that answers the questions in rapid fire succession, too…. maybe (no?) enhances the interview and makes the interviewers look good, too (no?).
twitter’s not for everyone….
Oyasumina-tsai…
Here’s a link to an interview with Colt and his teammate Devin Thomas today:
http://www.comcastsportsnet.tv/pages/player?is_popup=1&feedID=296&vidID=7711&startclip=1&dord=mr
roysan, good stuff. thanx for sharing.
dont get me started on Dickhead, the hermie-backer. lol.
I have watched Jake for two-years practice and he is truly incredible. He does it on his own. His drills are uncanny.
He does this one drill on the diamondhead side of the grass-field from inside the 5 yardline.
He snaps the ball at one of the goal post-legs and aims at a target, and he doesnt miss….over and over again his snaps are perfect or near perfect.
He goes from one drill to another, working on punt snaps and holder snaps. Every practice, without mentor or urging.
And he is a perfectionalist for speed and accuracy.
He practices perfect.
One mistake, he does it again and again in machine-like fashion.
JJ knew he would be drafted by his junior year and said so publically.
Jake Ingram stands head n shoulders above the rest…and he has earned it the hard way with incredible work-ethos discipline, dedication and consistency.
Good evenng to all!
Condolences to the Keiter family.
Happy BDAY JesseJames!
Prayers for Mrs C’s uncle.
Happy birthday uncle (Jesse)James (:
Everyone is suddenly using Twitter! I just realized that.
Aloha Les Keiter. I remember enjoying your recreated games and the phrase “ring-tailed howitzer” when you did UH basketball games.
Condolences to the Keiter family.
Rest in Peace ‘General’.
…..thanks for the memories.
It’ll be a late post tomorrow. I’m going to do it after practice.
ST, have fun with the bees. best way, but takes a while is to use hornet and wasp spray, shoot them in the early morning when they not too active, then again at night. make sure you can escape quickly into the house. have fun and may your bees go somewhere else.
Prayers and good thoughts for Big C’s uncle.
Mama Coloma ~ May the humble prayers offered by the Tsaiko Ohana transcend these airways and help to bring comfort to your Uncle.

All my life I was on the farm and later got a degree in Vocational Agriculture at Colorado State and for 30 years taught agriculture in High school and now at Koolau for 20 years. I am very sad when some one make fun of Agriculture..Where is your food coming from…Also, the students I work with knows that they will not make a living in the field, but enjoyed the class for they learn life skills while they are learning which they could not do in the other classes. Many of these students come to me and say thank you for helping them. This is the one factor that keeps me going even at my advance age.
Whitey
I see you know my brother Kaname….
mr. ahouse
dayton morinaga is the beat writer for men’s basketball. it should be he who springs the recruit info.
My prayers and thoughts go to the Keiter ohana.
See you tomorrow, all!
talk about molehills and mountains.
Look, folkz you all need to get a grip, be secure about yourselves and plant your carrots without fear that warriorfanny is a bunny lookin to raid your garden.
Im sorry if you are hurt and require counseling.
But, jump off your self-adoring pedestals, go back to my original post and you will see the context of my words were not meant to bring an end to agriculture that we all know.
If that doest work, try hatha yoga and controlled breathing.
Try to meditate on all the problems of the world and in particular those that live in oppressed countries with political police and no freedom of expression.
At the same time condense your ego into the form of a miniscule grain of sand, until gradually you accept yourself as one that comprises a vast and endless desert.
Now if you reach that point of supreme concentration and focus–you will be rid of all the petty extra-sensory-perceptions that inhibit reason and cause disfunction.
Ready…all together now, in a lotus position and follow Richard Simmons….ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhmmmmmmmm.
tom carney passed away tonight. he battled cancer for several years.
my condolences to his son sean carney, uh warrior vballer.
tom would never turn a cheek if some kid needed his help.
he should be credited for giving shane komine a chance at the d1 level. tom contacted nebraska and they gave him a scholarship and the rest was history.
rest in peace.
Sorry to hear about the passing of ‘The General’ Keiter, and Kalas. I used to listen to them call Islander games in my younger days.
al,
Did you live on Pumehana when you were a kid working at the Taniguchi store?
Mr. A-House,
Wow! If I knew how to bet, I coulda made more kala when I held the dice for 45 mins. But I was just a rookie then. Glad you did well! Making Mrs. A-House happy.
Night! Might be able to get to practice if I can get to sleep….
hiya gangee.
J(J_
Happy Belated Birthday, bradda JJ. hope you had/having fun tonight.
#276
Talk about foul taste. You dis farmers and agriculture and when a couple folks voice their displeasure at what you said, your advice to them is to essentially shut up and take it on the chin. I might not be adept at those subjects specifically but talking down about that profession or lifestyle is probably the last thing to cross my mind. Somehow talking down about people and/or lifestyles seems to come almost naturally to you.
The tag works wonders if you’re gonna say something off-the-cuff and not come off as if you were serious about it.
I’m sorry, but I just couldn’t let this one go without making a remark. You can only keep your thoughts to yourself for so long before you gotta vent. I guess for me that time is now (almost 4:00am where I stay).
Maybe my mind will be refreshed come lunch time…..
Kekoa,
that was too funny!
dats why i had da big smile on my map.
when I got to sleep and was thinking of Liz an dat make up kit,

wf2 ~ I’m steppin’ up for our senior citizen bloggers. I’m not comfortable with the evil bunny trampling their gardens. I’d like to ask you to be more considerate of these old timers and others when you post. They deserve much more respect than the type of slick response you offered in #276 above.
To them, it is all about that mountain that came from the mole hill.
bhf…whoa self indulgence eh?
but, you right. whitey get some nice looking (umm) farm animals and they not heifers either.

Because they all didn’t read the paper, let alone it was not actually the Order that the Judge had signed.
my point being, in this life, we gotta cool our jets sometimes until the timing is most right.
if we don’t pick on warriorfanny and royssan16, maybe we’ll get samoa inside scoops. but again, i defer to you ancients cuz I know you kinow more than me so i’m thinking there is same behind da scenes stuff going on with da mind games. am I off?

HiHo…
Good Morning All! Thanks for the sun whitey and hawaiianbod. It’s not warm yet, but at least the sun is out.
Re-Les Keiter
I can’t help but think that when people eulogize the General the first things that come to mind is “wow, what an enriching life he had”. And he did. His passage on this Earth took him to different venues and different stages that when I later listened to him on past radio interviews recanting his remembrances he spoke with such an fevered excitement, like the Ali-Liston fight nearly 60 years ago, like if the fight took place yesterday. When I listened to him, he was excitable, and he could describe the fight in detailed clarity–yet what I observed merging when he spoke was not only the profound recanting of the sporting event but that of his spirit…which above anything else, his spirit, so devoted and coveted–will surely be missed, too.
Extracting so much out of life is so fulfilling and so admirable. And the General did.
And how I remember the General is that of a little child awakening on Christmas Day, where he conveyed so much zest and zeal in broadcasting the Islander games and anchoring the nightly sports.
What wouldn’t surprise me, though, is if someone actually includes in their eulogy at the General’s memorial that his passage on this Earth was marked like everyday was like a Christmas morning…for this is the quality I saw exuding from the General…an admirable quality that to me was really endearing that I can envision when I remembered listening to his broadcasts..
Extending one’s condolences to a once in a generation type broadcaster runs deep, too. And my thoughts and prayers are with the family during this hard time.
Good morning Tsaikos!
Condolences to Sean Carney and his family.
Nice tax day for me – 1st time I’ve gotten a refund in years, thanks to c$$ppy economy. 👿
Waiting for the practice reports….
good morning tsaikos.
djmitcho, tried sending some warm air, but it is not as warm. not going complain cause summer is just around the corner and then going wish it was winter or spring. sunshine is the best.
momo, thanks and when you come to maui, we will pick you up and take you to lunch and see your brother. he going fall down.
bhf2, thanks and we think the same, so you are right. next time on tour, we going start at different merchant. hahahahahaaa
whitey – I am not sure if PP has gotten over the shock of watching you in action
hawaiianbod, am truly glad to see you up and running. working on some other simple recipe, so if it works, will pass it on.
Stretch,
I haven’t gotten over the shock when we watch home games at the merchants. 🙂
Aloha Kakahiaka!
Hmmm. night fishing last night. #1 son called and said new WOW update= wife and son will be playing for a few hours=time to go fishing.
Nothing biting on our side of the place but after he left I got 2 “halalu bait” to prepare for the future.
HIHO!
that must make for some great halftime entertainment
stretch, what action???? i am just a simple guy who enjoys company!!! hahahahahaaaa
it is that time of the day when breakfast of champions call. see you all later.
ST:
Passed you while Devin was approaching your car -hope he was not late to class!!
men’s basketball recruiting….
no news is not good news.
…nuff said
RIP General…
All quiet on da Wessai…da Tax man is getting turned out. TEA party should be an overflow mob this PM.
D-1 is looking for a wooden barrel to wear down to the rally. (J) James already gave up the shirt off his back. Stretch is down to his last pair of Bee-Ba-Dees again. Times are harder than ’29.
Prayers for Coloma’s Uncle…
A Final salute to Les Keiter. I hope that there is a moment of silence rendered for him at all the Sporting events this weekend.
I’m waiting for BB updates, too.
Coach Nash must be waiting too.
Good morning Tsai-ko ohana!!
Big mahalo to JJ for getting the word out here on the Dark Side about my uncle. You guys are the BOMB baby!!!
Here’s a link to the thread I started on the Pink Side:

I was always on the lame side. I just don’t portray it as well as chawan.
homey,
is that my best or worst side?
unfortunately, i think it might be my only side.
Colomaohana –
thoughts and prayers for your uncle.
one day when we meet i’d like to share a story with you
sorry but i don’t know how to post on the pink side.
hope you still lurking around.
chawan – It’s your unique side. I’m glad to share it with you. You know us type of guys gotsta stick together and repel the Jason’s of the world.
Loa – You gotta register on the pink side. It’s not as carefree posting as it is here.
Big C – sending lots of good thoughts and prayers to your uncle and your entire ohana. Every single day is special.
PowderPuff – Damn, I wish I was a young cougar prey… hahahaha
Regarding “Wyoming recruiting Polynesian players from Hawaii” – Wyoming will only get the players from Hawaii that UH decided not to recruit, and “verbal commitments” don’t mean a thing at this time, other factors need to be researched are will an athlete project as a “qualifier.”
homey,
i already do. see #243.
got that covered.
chawan – Good good. One less thing to worry about.
homey ℞ – #342, 10-4, maybe better that way huh
Loa – I don’t know, Esme always has her rolled up newspaper ready to discipline the rule breakers.
Dennis Miller on the recent threat by Somali Pirates to kill Americans on the high seas, Miller said,
“Somali wanna a cracker”.
btw, i read my fan mail this pm. Nice try, mom n dad just reinforced their luv, but dont be discouraged, Bernard Madoff might be interested in your company and emails.
Hi everyone. Do what you feel in your heart to be right – for you’ll be criticized anyway. You’ll be damned if you do, and damned if you don’t.
I am from Jordan and also now am reading in English, give true I wrote the following sentence: “Book cheap flights tickets, hotels,car rentals, discount holiday packages, best.”
With respect :P, Mercy.
Extracting so much out of life is so fulfilling and so admirable..
