Nash to (video) chat
Bob Nash will be our special guest during today’s video chat/show, which starts at noon. You may submit questions here through 11 a.m. You also are invited to ask questions on the show’s home page, located at honoluluadvertiser.com. Please join us.

The Super Games competition continues tomorrow with relay races. Let’s see if Steele Jantz can become the next Bruce Jenner — and, by that, I mean a decathlete and not the future step-dad of a Kim K.
* * *
Each UH sports team has been asked to help reduce expenses. The men’s volleyball team has been doing more than its share. The Warriors cut out prematch meals, trimmed the roster and shortened road trips. For Thursday’s match against Long Beach State, the Warriors will leave Wednesday afternoon. That means they will not have a full practice in the Pyramid.
* * *
Did anyone else notice that the Pyramid has been renamed The Walter Pyramid? That’s because Dr. Mike and Arline Walter donated oodles of moolah. But that makes it sound like: 1) Walter Pyramid is somebody’s actual name, like Lucille Ball, or 2) That’s Walter’s tomb. I woud have preferred Walter’s Treasures in the Pyramid. But what do I know? I was handed “The Warrior Beat” when the bosses rejected “Tsai’s Matters.”

Happy belated birthday to the beautiful and intelligent Tiffany Ing. You’ll remember her as the winner of the UH helmet at the blog’s second anniversary bash.
its 5:12am, and im first!!! woot!!!
Good morning to all!
Happy birthday Tiffany. Hope Mike has something special planned for your BD!!
You all have a great day.
3rd! Good mornng all!
Good morning Stephen,
You are up early this morning! Hope its going to be a great day for you.
Momo,
Hope Mr. Morita is doing better. Our prayers go out to his family and yours.
Good morning Tsai-kos!!
Top 10!!
Great Morning All!
Top Ten!
Happy Birthday Tiffany!
(sorry so loud so early)
Wahoo…Top 10!!!
Good Morning Tsai-kos!!
top 10?
For those who missed it late last night, I found this exchange to be hilarious:
🙂 😀 😆
How do they make curly fries?
By not putting all of their irons in the fire?
Good Morning! First time in the top whatever. The weather here in Hilo is living up to my name. But, plenty rain is better than no rain!
What a bunch of early myna birds we are.
Plenty of trophy stickers on Tiffany’s helmet.
Happy Birthday Ms Ing!
Myki:
You’re up rather early, too.
Make sure you get up early tomorrow. It’s relay races.
Looking at the helmet’s stickers and face shield, is it possible it once belonged to …. hmmm.
They use the Moe and Larry potatoes for stew and salad first?
SA:
Did you say someone was MissIng?
…and finally,
for those who wondered how the Stinkulus Bill got to $800B

Give the ruling party deserved credit…they sure know how to take advantage of an opportunity!
Try to have a great day anyway erryboddy!
HiHo….
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rB9GEyNnOSo
When me & my friends go out on the town.
We can’t sit still we can’t sit down.
We don’t like to fight and we don’t like to scuffle.
But we dance all night doing the Curly Shuffle.
CHORUS:
Hey Moe, Hey Moe (Hey Moe, Hey Moe) nyah nyah….
But we never miss a chance, we get up and dance
doing the Curly Shuffle.
Well me & my friends love Larry & Moe.
We love Curly’s brother Shemp & his fat clone Joe.
It’s such a delight to boogie and hustle.
Dancin’ all night doing the Curly Shuffle.
CHORUS:
LEAD:
Me & my friends we all love to see.
Comedy classics on late night TV.
Those knuckle heads, oh they get in a scuffle.
They push & they shove doing the Curly Shuffle.
CHORUS:
We do the Curly Shuffle
I think that it is crazy that Troy signed 41 players (the article says 40 but the Rivals list has 41) this year and so regularly goes over the 25 new scholarship limit.
Aloha kakahiaka Tsaikos and ST! Is there anyword on who Mack will be hiring to fill the vacant coaching positions or who the canidates are? Hope we find out soon I think Keala would make a great GA though.
There’s that hiring/grace period that has to pass.
Yes, I believe the helmet is from the man who keeps on giving.
A school may sign as many recruits as it wants. But it must honor all commitments by eligible players during the coming academic year.
Or, in the words of Pete of 3rd Bass: “Now you’re getting sued … kinda stupid.”
Happy Birthday Tiffany
Good Morning Tsaikos!!
Happy Birthday to Tiffany.
For some good memories….

Did you say someone was MissIng?
That’s a good one ST, I did not even notice what I wrote. LOL
Hauli Lahanau, Tiffany
Aloha Kakahiaka
and
Hi Ho!
Aloha Ka Kou Tsaiko Ohana!
Big welcome aboard to SailorBlue this morning. We now have our official link to the USN! He told me he’d be lurking before jumping in with both feet. I thought that it was much better than him firing a shot over the bow of the SS Tsaiko as we sail into the Marina.
Both he and his lovely wife have attended a few UH games since being stationed here at Pearl. However, he was quick to remind me that when the Midshipmen roll in to town come November…his Navy colors will be hoisted high and tight! That’s perfectly ok with us, we know how to handle that Navy coach!
Stephen,
Are the Wednesday games open to the public?
Thanks for the info.
won’t be there for the blog so i’ll post my questions for coach nash here.
how many scholies (if any) will be available for next season?
is he actively recruiting any players that participated in the iolani classic?
thanks.
Tiffany ~ Don’t forget to put a ‘Birthday’ shine on that helmet! BTW – how many times has Mike made you wear that thing while riding on the back of his bike?
Hau’oli la hanau Ms Ing!
Questions for coach Nash:
1. Having gotten this far in the season, are you satisfied with the ability of your coaching staff to teach and motivate your players? I sort of know the “PC” answer to that question but any possibility of some brutal honesty if improvement is merited? With a record of just above .500, everything cannot be absolutely peachy.
2. Are you going after a Tom Henderson type of guard or an A.C. Carter type of guard, Tom being more of a bigger, physical true point guard, or A.C. a quick 1 more comfortable (in college) being a 2?
3. So, was Bruce O’Neil really seeing a Yao in his recommended Chinese player that you scholarshipped or was he doing someone a favor? So far it hasn’t quite worked out as Bruce stated.
The happiest of birthdays to you, Tiffy. You officially get to celebrate it once again this year.
I can’t wait to see the huge present Mike got for you from all of us!
Good morning, gangeez!
Took the kid down to the electric company yesterday when who should I see but a prominent Tsaiko. The odds of seeing him? One in a million.
Happy Birthday Tiffany!
LMAO @ D1’s post #9! Toooooo funny!
jumping in to say good morning to you’all. 8) sun very bright out here on the wessai.
kekoa need to talk with you so will call you lattas.
hippo birdie two ewe tiffany
back to da compound
I dragged this over from yesternight’s blog. Very compelling read, definitely something to consider.

Wanna save the Advertiser? Read the EXCELLENT article at the link below, from Time Magazine.
$4 bucks a month for the ‘Tiser online, with pay cuts restored to employees and a better site template and server than the piece of cr@p one it has now? Hell yeah, I’m in! What do you guys think?
Are ya listening ‘Tiser bosses?!
http://www.time.com/time/business/article/0,8599,1877191,00.html
Is Tiffany single? One word: Reooowwwrrrrr!!!
d1 just finished viewing the jack accident to funny
All I have to say to Coach Nash is keep up the good work. We see glimmers of the promise which your hiring held. I predicted at that time you would have the BB team playing some very exciting ball and we see it beginning. Congrats to you and the players for your recent big wins.
Tiff,
I had no idea you attended these blog outings and loved UH so much! Great to see you over the holidays. Happy birthday from your cousin on Maui!!
Tanks Ah!
🙂 Hope you had a most wonderful birthday day, Tiffany! 🙂 Tell Mike that there is such a thing as a birthday week.
my other friend had an idea for the video chats. (say them out loud, or in your head).
Tsai’s Wai’s video chat?
Wai’s Tsai video chat?
ok, nvm. too lame.
oh, i forgot, here’s my question/comment.
Coach Nash, Stephen, or THE Princess,
Coach, I’m glad how things are turning around this season as we head to the WAC tourney. Big test this weekend against Nevada. I know this season is not over, but would you consider bringing back the Midnight/Twilight Ohana for next season? Seeing some of Rod and Brandon’s dunks this year, I would love to see them in a dunk contest to get us excited next year. Thanks, and lets beat Nevada on Saturday. Hopefully we’ll see Mark Fox cry and complain to the refs a lot and make his Valentine’s Day not so lovely.
oops, forgot to say
Thank you!
c_c
CC (lame-o) – you must be bored at work….
Aloha Kakahiaka!!!
Happy birthday, Tiffany!
Good morning sirs and madams.
Happy Birthday Tiffany
Another beautiful day in Hawaii nei.
Good to see koakane and (J)J burned off the alcohol.
Look forward to seeing Coach Nash and the improvements of the Tsai and Wai show…don’t forget to enable the mics.
ST ~
Any more info on Aaron Francisco’s Mom? Chris Kemoeatu mentioned Aaron’s Mom on a newscast last night. Prayers out to Aaron & his ‘ohana.
Stretch – And the thing is chawan said is was another friend’s idea. How many imaginary friends does he have?
regarding #18
It was the ruling party at that time ( GOP) that got us into this mess. Their solution is to do the same thing (more tax breaks for the rich, along with more deregulation and free trade) that got us into this mess in the first place. Being on the brink of a depression is not fun. Being in one will be worse.
Kim K wouldn’t be where she is today if not for Paris Hilton.
Good morning everyone!
a belated Happy Birthday Tiffany !!!
Oh and:
IT BETTER NOT HAVE! 😆
If anyone has pix of ST at the big Karaoke Call, please email it to me. I want to finish a small collage of the blog hosts.
I only brought a disposable high speed film camera to catch snapshots and it needs processing yet. 🙁
Aloha Tsaikos! Hope everyone has a good tuesday.
Chawan,
I believe Mark Fox might have the WAC officiating in his favor this Saturday.
Since it is Valentine’s Day I’m sure Karl Benson has something nice planned for Fox… They make a lovely couple don’t ya think?
… Well maybe not right now since Nevada is not ranked… 😆
happy birthday tiffany!
(psst. mike. do you buy one combo gift or do you buy one for each occasion? jus’ curious)
question for nash
i’ve heard talk that you only have one scholie for next year should all the players return. there are rumors that perphaps to make room for some sorely needed guards a few scholarship players will not be asked to return, is that in the realm of possibility?
and could you expound on this subject?
I noticed that you had a disposable. I thought only tourist use that kind…
Coach Nash,
what was the reason for recruiting that Chinese center?, was it that you needed somebody to fill the post spot for practices, o-what??..I think it was a wasted scolie, personally??
with that said, now to the serious matters of the day…curly fries
jack uses a spiral slicer that cuts the whole potato from one end to another using an ingenious gizmo here’s one of the high end models available http://www.bakedeco.com/detail.asp?id=5031&keyword=Related%20Items
and did you know that e.k. fernandez brought those slicers to the carnivals in the late 80’s?
…nuff said
al,
Is there a high-end machine that Jack uses to shape the onion powder into the varying sizes of Onion Rings? I really like those! 🙂
….and what exactly is that stuff in the bottom of the taco shells? 😯
old diver,
grape or strawberry?
This is for (J)J. Can’t you just hear that sweet voice singing it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-AYAv0IoWI
Happy birfday to Tiffany!!!
ST:
Did not Colt “lose” his helmet after the Senior Bowl last year when his gear was mistakenly sent to USC and only a chin strap was found or some other insignificant gear? Police report filed?
I thought curly fries was just french fries going through puberty.
homey,
That’s silly!
….never seen a curly fry on the toilet rim!
OldDiver ~ I believe the point #18 makes is that it’s like finding an ATM machine that is freely dispensing cash. Nancy Pelosi would stand there and milk it for what it’s worth and then try to punch it out for more because it was so easy and available. She throws her classic ‘hissy’ fit and…
Then she’d try to wring out even more thru legislation. Look at her record in that post. Then go back to the Reagan years when he turned the deficit he inherited from Carter and left a surplus when his time was expired.
d1 – Wait till mister potato head uses your toilet.
Kekoa,
It was Christmas time then…more for some than others!
homey,
Mister Potato Head’s legs are too short to use the toilet!
…oh, sorry 😳
Whoops! Sorry about that last political post, I thought I was on Richard Borreca’s blog.
Football, right…It’s about football. Tune to AM1500 Wednesday morning and listen to UCLA try to explain what happened last week. Apparently their lame equivlent to our blog meister will be on the show. According to the wise word on the street, he’s not like our powerhouse WB insider. I’ll bet he doesn’t even know the words to the ‘Lion’ song!
d1 – Doesn’t stop Esme from using the toilet. JUST KIDDING ESME!
That’s ok, she probably will not be lurking today.
Kekoa,
Masterful redirect 😉
I just received my script from the boss. I guess they’re afraid of me ad-libbing.
Ahh, this is a scripted show? I like the uncompressed format
el guapo- this just appeared on my screen- it relates to last night’s off-topic discourse.
http://www.idrc.ca/openebooks/920-8/
Whoosh!
ST ~ Just remember, if you hit the ‘wall’ just break out with the “Curly Shuffle!”
They give us a script, but 1) We can’t remember it, so we free lance, 2) We forget to turn the pages, so we free lance.
The part where we look like hostages reading a list of demands, that’s scripted.
Kazz,
good point. i wanna see him cry and scream this saturday. he won’t get away with it at our place. my friends (NON-IMAGINARY) and i will give him an earful. if you’re gonna be at the game, you can sit by us. i’m sure the whole valentine’s day thing will have the crowd thinner than usual.
btw, i wonder where his all everything, guarantee NBA star Nick Fazekas is. hmmm…. cut by 3 teams and now playing in Europe. overrated from the start. a good college player, but he’d never cut it with the pros. wonder how good the next “superstar” is in Babbitt.
you’re also right too. usually reno was the WAC’s baby when it came to basketball and we’ve all seen how mr. Benson has taken care of his favorites. this year its utah st, and deservingly so, but the WAC is a weaker conference than it has been this year, so their record and ranking might be inflated (just as Boise’s was for football).
onion rings?
haven’t had an onion ring from jack’s box in a while. there are two kinds the real ones and the extruded ones.
ST,
if you hit an “uncomfortable silent” spot in the livecast, just look pretty and smile for the camera and all of you don’t move. we’ll think its a glitch and it got stuck on that frame.
ST- scripts are good- just pretend you are not “reading”. As for your ad libbing- THAT is what people will tune in to look for. Anyone can run a vanilla interview. It is your underbreath one-liners that will make your show SPECIAL – (good seats- you can always put them up on eBay if you can’t go).
I can see you and the Princess taking turns being Ed and Johnny. And sooner or later, a “Princess” reference will have to show up so people can’t see “Leila Wai” without thinking “Princess”.
Yup- lotsa hook potentials.
Break a leg!
ST — tell them you need a teleprompter, an interpreter, a dialog coach, a director, and make-up trailer. They can buy it with the pay cut money…. or just let you freelance.
SteveM- don’t forget Stunt Double…
Thats right this is a union show v non union – cant forget about the script writers!
And you’ll be needing a “Spirit Guide”. I work reallyyyyyy cheap! 😆
Chawan,
The tide is indeed turning for the basketball team and to see Nitoto play with so much emotion on Saturday should just be an inkling of what is to come for the second half of the season.
I hope Amis will be ready because Nevada is no Idaho. 9 out 10 times Nevada will beat Idaho.
Nevada had a better team in 2007 and we almost took it all the way until the OT loss.
Vengance is sweet!!!
I shall see you on Saturday sir!
ST, good neighbor:
Was there a Yuval Katz type volleyball player in the Israeli army that was coming to UH?
What happened?
ST ~ Here are a few questions for Coach Nash. Feel free to pick one:
~ Coach, how is your son doing in Japan?…
~ What I mean is, is he adjusting to the living and playing conditions?
~ How are the Japanese fans receiving him as a player?
~ Is he having fun?…or is it harder than he thought it would be?
~ Is he keeping an eye out for young talent for you to evaluate?
Thanks for coming on the WB with Wai & Sai…and Thank you for your many years of devoted service to the University of Hawaii. First as a player, and now as a Coach. I wish you even bigger and better years ahead!
No, Liz — the stunt double might be used instead of the make-up trailer… 😛
ST can’t be reached right now, he is in make-up, hairstyling and wardrobe is next.
My last words on the stimulus “package”.
Many say that it would cost trillions of dollars if they give XXX$ to each federal tax filer/payer and it may be true.
The Feds have already given nearly $1 trillion to various “big, important” companies, but hundreds of thousands are still losing their jobs, thousands of homes are being fore clcosed, many business continue to lose income, etc. Why, because, we the general public, have limited or no funds to buy merchandise or repay loans.
That’s why the idea of “giving”, yes giving $$$ to individuals will help to turn around this mess.
as al says, nuff said.
PS. d1, thanks for your wise counsel.
Actually, I just blew my nose.
That’s how I prepare.
Just a thought, but you can’t give everybody a huge check or else it devalues the money. Then you run into the case of the $1,000 loaf of bread.
Of course, this blog still will be free.
as is the case with Zimbabwe where using their currency to wipe their arses is cheaper than using toilet paper
IMO, the basis of this economic downturn is the price of consumer goods increased way faster than pay. Now the private and government sectors are implementing plans to reduce pay, furlough, and layoff workers which defeats the purpose because there will be less spending…oops, just like kekoa, wrong blog. Sorry
Stephen,
…that’s the “dirty, little secret”
Scripted? But I was going to tune in to see if we were going to get a Network or Studio 60-like rant …
Happy birthday Tiffany!
I’m all for cutting costs, but things like pregame meals and practice time … you start to wonder if cutting those costs affects performance enough that it really starts to affect revenue intake. Then again, ticket sales and attendance aren’t that great anyways …
lights!
camera!
action!
Shucks, it was nice and smooth before the Pro Bowl video. Now it’s back to being choppy.
I need a faster connection!!!
It’s almost like a dubbed kung fu movie.
i do my fishing at foodland too!
Oh, that’s what Stephen said.
you WISH you was getting action from the Princess
who’s impersonating me?? heh.
How crude!
Bwahahahaha!!!!!!!!
First 1,000-1,200 students? I’d be happy getting 100-120 to start!
One of the problem with the student fees, IMO, is the leadership change over the past few years with ASUH, the student gov’t. As the leadership has transitioned, the priority level of the student fees issue has wavered. Not to mention, some people balk at increasing fees even $20, let alone $50-$100, where I would recommend.
I heard a couple of girls on the bus talking about the U-Pass proposal. One of them is with the grad student gov’t, and she was telling her friend that on the Mainland, her old school charged a universal fee for global bus passes, and that it was good; but that here, people are complaining about the proposed $20 charge. That’s another example of how the student body is cheap and not very visionary. It sounds like the U-Pass might get through, though.
whoa – was Nash at Karaoke on Saturday??
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNC0kIzM1Fo
Good, smooth video stream! Stephen’s mike is a bit soft and echoey. Need to lose the papers on the downstage side of the table.
stop getting me into trouble! i do that well enough on my own.
Ooh, chawan_cut is getting some attention from the Princess … 😀
dang… stephen got me good.
PL- make the text larger on the screen so you don’t have to peer. Wow- ST is laming chawan_cut ????
All in all, Coach Nash is looking and sounding very good!
Yea! Good Job… but the theme music reminds me of The Silence of the Lambs…
eeeuw!
OK. I did my part.
Good show!
thats what i get. i was being serious too with all my questions.
i don’t know who wrote “The Princess looks lovely.”
that wasn’t me! i promise!
i wasn’t trying to be lame this time.
oh well, i guess it just follows me wherever i go.
Yea, A-Joe!
And now 1,100 people know chawan_cut needs a date for Saturday. Let’s see if there are any takers besides koamahu and Maryanne.
hahahahahahaha – CC is lame AND LONELY!!!
but only 10 people know who chawan_cut really is…. the rest are my imaginary friends.
1100 – is that really the viewership? Not bad!
chawan_cut… I would go with you – and people would think well of you for taking your mom to a BB game… not lame anymore 😉
Since when do computer scientists deal with imaginary numbers? Those relationships must be complex …
No wait, I’m mixing up my imaginary friends with your imaginary friends.
Good show.
My only criticism is that last week there was a lot of dead air time since continuity between the video playing and the talents was poor. This week, Leila and ST both got cut off in mid-sentence by canned stuff. Maybe OK to have ST talk too long and get cut off by the closing credits 🙂 but cutting of Leila or ST for a commercial is irritating.
If there is truly a director for this, have him/her use fingers to count down the time to switch points between live and canned stuff.
wow, I have to remember to turn my surround sound on next week. – those whoooosh sounds with music in the intro gets me pumped and ready for the show
I’m taking my Mom to Valentine’s Day lunch at Makino Chaya … Hmm, I think I might be in more need of a date than chawan_cut.
I think Chawan should ask Kelli.
what happened to your bball girlfriend?? she wasn’t impressed with the seats and hospitality room??
Thanks for the feedback on the show, folks! We’re doing our best to improve each week. Keep the input coming!
Steve, we are counting the talent in, however, timing of when each peice cuts in and out can be effected by connection latency and the way our live streaming software syncs viewers. We’re working on timing and will do our best to improve.
How was audio this week? We tried to level the live mics to the broadcast audio levels of our video assets and intro/credit bumpers. Let us know if you’d like a small bump on the live show audio.
Looking forward to next week’s show! Tell your friends and family to tune in! http://www.honoluluadvertiser.com/thewarriorbeat .
Best,
John
ST – are you trying to get C_C in trouble. Doesn’t Kelli have a boyfriend?
Stretch – 😀 🙄
Stephen: chawan_cut’s a little too lame and a little too old for Kelli.
Stretch: She goes to school in California at Occidental.
Stretch – there’s a big difference between C_C and CC. Personally, I’ll take CC (cattle call) anytime. It ain’t so lame….
jm:
I do not believe she does.
So you mean that guy who came with Kelli to the Christmas party was just there to protect her from chawan_cut and James?
John — thank you for the explanation. I’m sure it will work out fine.
Anyone remember me losing a bet when I said Ferd would speak more than ST when on TV? 🙂
great job, great show, great guest.
a couple more shows and you two may be ready for primetime as artie would say.
now, there’s an interesting guest for you.
and thanks for asking my question.
Aiya… See what happens when I go to the gym and read all this stuff so late in the day… I can’t even defend myself. Haha! jm2375 is right.
jm#### – well if you were at the KK then you would know why ST made that chawan comment. The thing is you’ll never know cause what happens at the KK most times stay at the KK. 😆
wow – look at that. You guys talk about Kelli, her ears start itching, and she shows up…. amazing!!
chawan – That was a bold comment you made on the Tsai and Wai show.
Kelli goes to the gym? Why?
Stretch: Very funny. It’s like magic!
Ok, I’m hungry now. I think I’m gonna eat a bowl of cereal. Rice Krispies are on sale at Longs, so I bought myself a box yesterday. Why am I telling you guys this?
You know what else… People at the gym watch the Food Network while they work out. It’s kinda distracting to me. I just wanna get off the elliptical and go for a red velvet cake from CBTL or Starbucks.
stretch…..some folks here think that you are single????
homey ℞: I don’t know. It’s supposed to help with stress, but I don’t know about that. I do have fun shopping for UA stuff to wear to workout in, though. 😀
UA stuff? If Kelli didn’t already have a boyfriend, maybe her and Kazz … 😉
nice cover. nice way to say “noooo” to a nice guy (c_c).
c_c i feel your pain.
Kelli – You and Kazz are UA groupies.
@SteveM – Cool, thanks for the input!
How is the replay working for everyone? It seems to be playing back smoothly on our end, despite possible latency during live broadcast.
Let us know! http://www.honoluluadvertiser.com/thewarriorbeat
Thanks,
John
BTW, good show today ST and Princess Leila. I like the humor and laughter. You 2 even have the head nod in unison.
I guess since I go to Tsaiko functions, you know, the ones where I say I am going and I actually show up??
Playback is smooooooth. Too bad the viewers can’t do a pause and rewind.
Jason: Because we both like UA stuff? Haha! Very funny… What about you? Is there an explanation for why you were MIA on Saturday? And what are you doing for Valentine’s Day? Hopefully your plans didn’t include Nick’s Fishmarket or Brew Moon cuz no more.
al ™: I think chawan_cut already knew that.
homey ℞: Kazz probably has more stuff than me. I only have three shirts, two shorts, headbands and a bag. I was thinking of getting UA shoes, but I don’t know anything about them. Gotta research it.
If anyone cares, (J)J is single too.
Kelli – Leave it to a future grad student to do research on shoes. 😆
I don’t own any UA shirts. They accentuate my belly button.
Coach Nash mentioned that there are 2 schollies available next season. I sure hope he gets a good point guard.
homey ℞: Do you prefer Nike?
Anyone think a player’s scholarship will not be renewed next season?
Kelli – I don’t even have running/walking/workout shoes. I use rubber slippers.
I think it would have been cool if there were some valentines hearts on the Tsai and Wai table. Next week maybe ST wears something to celebrate President’s Day.
Kelli: Originally, I was just going to go to the basketball game on Saturday night. These KKs last so long, I need to get some rest cause I teach Sunday school at church, and it doesn’t work out well when I’m a zombie. But then I caught this cold, so I didn’t go out at all. I took the time to catch up on some math team work that I needed to get done.
I actually took today off from school too to do the same thing. I’m almost 5/6 of the way there, should finish by tonight. 😀
zombie and not a drop of alcohol? weak!
5/6? You math majors are so precise!
😆
stretch…..( ? )….okay you got me on that one, i am speechless.
ICS majors use 0.833, and they get the BSOD.
wow, i disappear to actually get some work done today and i come back to all this.
thanks Stephen for the suggestion, but i won’t be alone saturday. i’ll be there with my other (real) friends yelling at Coach Fox to sit down and stop crying.
thanks everyone else for the support and the jokes.
homey……a little birdie whispered that two guys are on the bubble for next year. no names. thus, the basis for my question.
it is my belief that we will need 2-3 guards who can shoot from the perimeter and a quick pg. i like what nitoto did the past two games, but, i am still not convinced that he is a pg at this level. thompson is too slow afoot and doesn’t really have an outside touch.
and numbers wise we need at least one or two bigs who can contribute in two years.
stephen, stick to your script next time! no ad libbing… heh. but it was funny.
BSOD – Big Sexy Outrageous Body???
i just realized my 2nd question was one that coach nash already answered previously in the interview.
my live feed was skipping and i missed a lot of stuff earlier.
chawan – stop hitting on the Princess.
al – I agree. Main thing is get a point guard. You know, someone that was born to be a point guard, not someone who is taught to be a point guard.
homey,
hey now. i wasn’t. behave! Faye is watching you!
stevem…..no worry. once i commit my word is my honor. i have stretch’s lunch the next time we meet if he can ever get off the northern rock.
stretch, we need to test out the tsukiji market. let’s call it a meeting.
c_c,
is that why she had all those black n blues. was from you and not the soccer match, eh?
chawan – nah, Faye lurks on Cooley’s site now.
al – for some reason I rather have Makino’s than Tsukiji.
Mmm, Makino Chaya on Saturday. I think my church has a reservation for 30-something. It’ll feel just like a Tsai-ko cattle call. 😀
homey, al,
next time in vegas, try a place called Sushi Mon on Sahara. all you can eat nigiri and rolls and anything on their menu. if you sit at the sushi bar, its like you have your own personal chef waiting to make whatever you want.
al, don’t spread any rumors like that. i would never do such a thing.
chawan – how fresh is their fish?
You would never do what? give black and blues or play soccer?
homey,
both. i don’t think i could run fast enough to catch anyone or the ball. i’m too out of shape. i should start exercising again.
fish is fresh. when we go to vegas, we eat there at least twice. its a locals spot for sushi. my friend who lives there took me and i’ve taken everyone else that i’ve gone with since. no complaints.
homey,
i should ask you what your exercise regimen involves. and not the kine you and koakane do while making gaugee.
BTW, the Tsai-ko size girl with the brown hair that was sitting near Peaches at the KKall is available….
…and if the Warrior Beat now gets through the firewall at her work place 🙄
chawan – you should ask Kelli what gym she goes to. 😉
Exercise regimen? You gotta ask A-House, (J)J, Kazz, or gg’s hubby, they all go to the gym.
SteveM – She rocks!
Another thing I noticed on the Tsai and Wai show is how small Coach Nash looked. Was he sitting on the floor?
Speaking of CB, in that benefit for Leukemia, the TV news showed a check from him to that benefit. But nothing in the newsprint or even in this Blog.
Just want to point out that Colt gives back to the community not only by appearing and talking to all of us, but also puts $$$ and not just words.
the focus of today’s chat was supposed to be about coach nash and the basketball program.
how’d it get turned onto me??? i’m not important.
chawan – I think your comment on the show started it and ST mentioned you.
homey — you aren’t confusing her with Mrs. Long Time UH Fan are you?
… I am also getting requests to arrange seating with Annoddah Dave at the next bash. 🙂
Jason: Are you feeling better? Don’t forget to drink tea!!!
homey ℞: I think I blogged about it before. http://campuslife101.honadvblogs.com/2008/11/12/working-off-stress-and-calories/ I guess people will know where I workout at now. It’s getting a little crowded at Powerhouse now because all the former Gold’s Gym members go there. Maybe I should try 24-hour? I dunno.
chawan:
we go to the Sushi Mon in Henderson, near South Coast casino.
where on Sahara is your Sushi Mon?
Thanks Kelli, now Powerhouse will have a new member soon!
homey,
that was not my comment that started the show. it was an imposter!
i changed my live chat name to the_real_chawan_cut to make it clear. i guess not.
i have no clue who you and stevem are talking about.
chawan – She was siting in the section below you.
Kelli: Nothing like sleeping in until 10:30 to help you feel better. And now I am 5/6 of the way through with my math team work. Once I finish this, I can start concentrating on my school work. 🙂
And yes, I have ginger-lemon tea. In fact, I should make a cup right now.
Ok… My eats hurt….
Kelli, check out the UA Revernant running shoes at Sports Authority. They will have different types depending on how u land on ur feet when u run. Kinda pricey tho… I have UA evades and powers for gym use.
They’re ok for what they are but if u are a serious runner I would stick with New Balance.
JOHN- I haven’t seen the beginning of the video yet- just the Nash interview. BUT I notice a reference “Washington Redskins’ tight end Richard Cooley talking about teammate and ex-Warrior quarterback Colt Brennan. ”
The Redskins’ TE is CHRIS Cooley, not Richard.
Mahalo and Aloha!
A-House,
the sushi mon we go to is a few miles up from the strip, past all the car dealerships. i think they’re the same, just 2 different locations. thats a definite kanak attack spot.

Ppl forgive my text message formats… Trying to get accustomed to my new toy…
Kazz – I noticed your Storm misspells words.
Nice summary of the nonconference schedules for Pac-10 teams for the 2009 season. Most of the schedules look good, but Arizona and Arizona State really seem to be taking it easy compared to the other teams in their conference.
Arizona’s first 2 nonconference games:
Central Michigan
Northern Arizona
Arizona State’s first 2 nonconference games:
Idaho State
Louisiana-Monroe
Oregon facing *both* BSU and Utah really shows that they aren’t afraid to face the top-tier of non-BCS conference teams. That shows they wouldn’t be afraid to play UH…I’d love for UH to schedule a home-and-home with them.
sushi mon….is the sushi bomb.
been there too.
Salaries for coordinators are getting so crazy that Fresno State has given up in their search for offensive and defensive coordinators and instead they will promote from within their staff.
Kelli,
Can’t go wrong with 24hr Fitness…. They’re um…. 24hrs… 🙂
went to the one in henderson with some lv family. cold beers went well too.
So, Fresno State could have offensive and defensive coordinators who are just 29 and 30 years old! That would be a *slight* contrast to the ages of UH’s coaching staff.
c_c…..sorry but jus’ jokin’ you know. i only tease and play jokes on the folks i respect.
you should hear what i say about homey and stretch.
homey,
is this the one that didn’t have a nickname that stephen was referring to the other day?
No need go to a gym. Just do that PX90 workout and in 90 days you’ll be buff.
chawan – Didn’t see ST’s reference to an individual but I don’t think she has a nickname…that I’m aware of.
stephen will pitch in soon and suggest someone i bet.
Eh! What about that door hanger thing???
Would that contraption even work with a door in place? The commercials only have some ripped out dude on roids having the time of his life in an empty door frame… 😯
Kazz – I’ve never really seen the whole infomercial and didn’t see any door hanger thing when I did see a portion of the infomercial. Is it like a noose you hang around your neck?
I am from St. Louis School and would like to know how tui, hano and stutz are doing?
can you tell me please.
thank you
DJ
***Off-topic***
Homey,
RE: Storm
That was me rushing. I turned off the spell check and SureType thing to go faster. Hard fo text in pidgin with those features on.
BTW.. I have no clue what the “glitches” are that people complained about.
There is no “lag” with the storm from the portrait view to landscape view and it’s just as responsive while downloading a page. The videos are clear, I even tried out VZW Navigator from work to home and it’s accurate to the spot. The touchscreen is not even an issue for me, I just have to get used to the blue glow that highlights the letters/symbols you intend to type before you actually register your choice by actually clicking the screen.
My only gripe is the lack of a battery level indicator when completely powering off the handset and then charging it. There is only an LED light that stays steady when the phone is completely charged. Also, compared to the iPhone the applications already on it are not as extensive. There is the VZW Navigator, MySpace, Flickr, Facebook, Word, Excel, and a few others.
Battery life is pretty good and there is a feature on there to set your storm to power off and power on at a time and day you choose to conserve the battery. My last gripe is how BlackBerry phones are not compatible with Verizon’s “Back Up Assistant” feature. It’s an online account with VZW that automatically holds all your phone #s for you. So in case you lose your phone and need to find a number, you can just log online. So I had to download the BlackBerry software from a CD they gave me and then transport all of my contacts to my desktop. Unfortunately the information is NOT in a “read-able” encription so the only way to retrieve it is through another blackberry device.
Also, I haven’t messed with the Word or Excel application on it yet, but I will get to it eventually.
Overall, I like it. My brother has the iPhone and he’s a techie that likes to find anything to complain about and he played around with my Storm and said the negative reviews by some on-line are not fair. Of course I bought my phone AFTER the latest firmware update so maybe that’s why I haven’t encountered the problems people complained about.
Nah it’s just a pair of handles that are attached to a U-shaped support system that allows you to hang it from the top of your door frame. Pretty much you will be doing pull-ups within the confines of your doorspace.
Billy Ray is doing very well. I was at UH at 7:30 this morning, and he was working out.
I was there at 3, and he was going to get ready to lift.
Haven’t noticed Tui.
That was a good video chat today.
Kelli:
C’mon, you have to pretend you’re single. It spikes the blog hits. Hey, Shauna pretends she doesn’t have a fella.
haaaaa, Tsaiko soap opera…….or operaS?
Homey – was that you walking on Punchbowl St around noon?
g-nalo,
Well, it keeps you and me here! 😆
RE: Tui Tuiasosopo
I remember that kid pounding out reps at the 2007 HAIA combine. I remember thinking to myself “dang, I hope this kid ends up playing for UH”… 🙂
hey D1…….yeah didn’t go Karaoke as you know, but in a way more interesting getting it here “bit by bit”. 🙂
I expected Coach Nash to recruit some brothas from the Bronx, Chi Town, South Central, Florida, Atlanta, and South Carolina. We need more brothas playing on the team.
The Fab Five was made up of brothas. This is why they were so great. This is the formula Nash must use if he expects to be successful.
Coach, when are you gonna go back to your old neighborhood to recruit?
Sahara Sushi Mon had a guy from HI. Don’t know if he’s still there.
Try the soft shell crab sushi- the best.
Not a lot of tables/chairs, best is counter seating.
G-nalo,
I just input songs! 🙂
Tony,
Hey, you the one who Uce2 post before, eh?
G-nalo,
I just input songs!
uh huh, but apparently you input “the songs that make the whole world sing”
😆
thank you.
how is Hano doing? he was real nice to me when he was here and my dad said that his father is real nice to.
Wow. love it. everyone making fun of Chawan again.
saints,
How are your workouts going?
lakerj,
too funny 😀
Where is the “delete” button?
This reminds me of a “Mitch Hedberg-ism”:
“I don’t have a girlfriend, but I do know a woman that would be very upset if she heard me say that.”
i am lifting every day and doing alot of footwork drills. my jv coach sam said that i need to get quicker feet and get my baby fat off. i will be on varsity this year so i no it is harder. he said that football is about speed not fat
(Throws a shaka to D1)
dey u go…
OK, Chawan, pick a “Mommy,” any “Mommy” — well, except for one that we’re trying to set up with (J)J — and we’ll work out the details for you.
saints,
Well, listening to Coach Sam is a very good idea. He knows what he’s talking about.
Sounds like you’re on your way to a good vars career. Keep it up!
Go Saints!
btw, when you see your JV Head Coach, tell him d1shima said, “Hi.” 😉
d1
I agree with most posters here. Uce2 is a good guy. I have no problem with his comments. And your point is?
stephen,
it doesn’t work that way does it?
In most places can, but gotta pay. 😯
ok . he is a good coach. we wish he was the varsity coach. do you play d1? if you do what advise do you give to me to get to play at uh. thats why i wana be like tui and hano and stutz. i have the wants to be like them not like some of the other braddahs who cruizin. stutz said to run track to.
coach sam played for the pros. so i listen to him but he and coach ryan not varsity. coach ryan played for a school on the mainland to. do you no him.
I meant *some* places…
o and coach said to get good grades cause it wont matter if you dont have the grades.
When Chaminade was great under Lopes, who was on the court?
stephen,
its not my choice to make.
no get me in trouble with esme!
Wow, I bet the gym is packed on day three.
Interesting story about Gilroy H.S.(Cal.) QB Jamie Jensen who passed for 7,000 yards during the last two seasons but still has no offers from D1 colleges. There are a few schools still looking at him but he may have to go the J.C. route like Jeremiah Masoli did. One of the schools that is still talking to him is San Jose State. Article says that he is a very good passer, has great vision, leadership, and presence, but has a funky release.
Give me results and a funky release any day over poor results but a sweet loooking release. Got a feeling that a few schools will feel sorry in a few years that they didn’t pick this kid up.
Mojo, that’s naughty.
WarriorMojo,
I had to read that about five times to get it.
I’m lame. (No offense Chawan.) 😛
It’s funny though.
saints,
Played a looong time ago….
Best advice I’ve got is to listen to all your coaches….esp. about the studying part. By the time you get like me, that’s going to be most important part.
Just tell Coach Ryan I said “Hi.”
stephen,
did the unnamed tsaiko get a name yet?
kazz,
no can offend me anymore. i am numb.
Tony,
I can see why you’d get along. 😉
George Daily-Lyles looks like a tackling machine.
WM,
😆
It’s good to see you back again!
Got a feeling T.J. Alofipo is going to make us all forget about Iuta Tepa. Alofipo looks like a monster.
Pride,
…and then again, I’ve seen some who look like tackling dummies!
heheheh
btw,
check your mail?
Pride.,
😳
I guess I got mail!
Mojo, come to think of it I have 7 shirts and 5 pairs of shorts. On the 6th and 7th days the gym is empty.
But get choke HPD outside…
Chawan,
“Numb” is better than “broken”.
stephen,
no worries for me for saturday. like i said earlier, i’ll be too busy yelling at the crappy wac refs as well as coach fox.
not sure if that would be a good first impression. unless she likes to cheer like that too.
Let’s not talk about me anymore. One lame Tsai-ko is bad enough.
pride,
thanks!
If she does, then you’d have to propose right then and there!
….and lakerj32 aka “lefty”gets even happier!
heheheh
(J)J,
Things will probably get easier for you at work.
Dan is in the Conference Cmte meetings from the Senate side.

Im having a great day now…keep it rolling! Cant Chawan bring his date to the game? It will be free for her…oh wait… thats kinda lame…
Haha! Just having a little fun at Kelli’s expense. Poor Kelli. If it’s any consolation I did think twice and then thrice before hitting the “submit” button since I don’t know you very well. But ultimately I figured, “She’s got to have a good sense of humor. She’s a Tsaiko!”
doesn’t gdl remind you of solly?
wait to you see aaron brown he’s gonna remind you of ronnie lott.
btw, i was laughing my a** off too mr. mojo.
i really like our three new rb’s.
alex green is like a wibert haslip, big, tough, quick burst off the line, 10 – 15 yards after knocking over a few lb’s.
chizzy is a shorter but a stronger version of gary allen. shake n bake, make you miss runner with some jets for the afterburn.
john lister is big “travis sims” type back, north and south, take no prisoners type of guy who just loves to hit the defense.
perhaps the latter will greyshirt, pick up 10-15 lbs, could even be a special teams special guy or convert to lb’er.
Well well well…
The NFL come CRAWLING BACK to Hawaii again with a proposal for 2011 and 2012… 🙄
Oh yeah they made some demands (4 million dollars and stadium upgrades) and trying fo make big body to Hawaii, but c’mon…
C’MON!!! No ACK!
ST,
Any new developments in Daniel Libre’s 2009 outlook?
A mysterious woman walked in 5-10 minutes after WarriorMojo at the Karaoke Call and sat next to him all night. Since I knew he RSVP’d for two, my great deductive powers told me they were together.
No introductions though. 🙁 Peaches, who seldom misses anything, asked me who she was afterwards. She was sitting within 3 feet of her and didn’t know… no, chawan_cut, not her. The Tsai-ko-sized one homey and I are talking about sat in the same section as Peaches.
Re UFC 94 payouts
UFC has confirmed about 1.3 million buys for the PPV at say $45 each, that comes out to $58 mil, just in PPV. Not sure about the gate receipts.
Initial word was that BJ Penn was paid only $125,000 but he does get shares of the PPV money as being part of the main event. His payout is actually close to a million. Not too bad but considering what Dana White and his crew made, it is still not enough.
what is Tsai-ko sized anyways? we’re all sizes.
Not so mysterious, SteveM, although I suppose that’s a matter of perspective. Mr and Mrs BigHilo, Mr and Mrs D1, and Addahknowjoe, amongst others, got the scoops. The question is whether she makes a return appearance. Hmmm….
WM – did you two sing any songs?? I don’t recall any
evening tsaikos. the fff to the nfl. we no need you, you need us. like the song says “sha na na na, hey hey goodby”!!!
Jason: Tea time for me pretty soon, too.
Kazz (blkberry_storm): My friend works at Sports Authority. I better stop by and check out the UA shoes.
WarriorMojo: Ok, that was a little gross. I only go to the gym twice a week for a reason. If I go more than once, guarantee I’m wearing shorts, shirt and shoes. And yes, they’re all CLEAN!!! Oh yeah, must not forget to bring a towel, too. Bumbai you get kicked out, I think.
Ahhh, mysterious WarriorMojo. Just wondering since we have not seen you with the same lady more than once … 🙂
Stretch, unfortunately we did not. I got to sing a couple songs (thanks D1!) before she arrived, but there was a list of 30 to 40 songs once things got rolling. That’s the one bad thing about having such a big event. But, it’s all good. Much thanks to you, SteveM, D1, etc. for planning and organizing everything.
whitey,
How’s the spreadsheet?
Thanks for ordering the club!
WarriorMojo –that’s a good point. That’s why the BIG Karaoke Calls are similar to tailgates with singing. Fun though. Maybe if we had more frequent “intermediate size” ones we can spread things out better for the Tsingers. Then we have the place where we have a semi-reserved private room regularly… 🙂
Texas really got the recruiting season moved up much earlier than before, even since Mack Brown took over 10 years ago. I remember how Texas A&M used to have little or no commits until the final weekend, and they would bring in all their recruits for official visits on that final weekend and end up with awesome recruiting classes. Mack Brown ended that strategy by getting the players to commit early…and Texas A&M has never recovered. Now everyone, including UH, makes offers extremely early.
Texas was basically done recruiting last year in June. With their second Junior day later this month, they could be nearly done recruiting in February this year! Making their offers scarce commodities is a great marketing strategy–recruits feel the need to commit early or someone else will get the offer and they will lose out on their chance.

Energy-harvesting shock absorbers could boost gas mileage by 10%, which would be great for military and civilian use.
Ohio teenager tried to order $37,000 in candy and have it charged to his former high school.
I personally think that it is horrible that a single mother would get $490 in food stamps every month and get disability payments on 3 of her 6 kids…and decide to pay $10k or so for an in-vitro procedure which resulted in her having 8 more kids! She was already on food stamps with 6 kids and now has 14 kids?
Even in this weak economy, 80% of consumers buy green products and services despite how they can have higher cost.

duf, the “sheet” is working. now with your new hybrid you can keep up with the young girls.
al, dinner tomorrow night???????
whitey, had to postpone my maui tour. i’ll let you know.
however, meanwhile back at the farm…………
…….your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to discover the identity of the 6’8″ 258lb maui basketball player who has an interest in the university of hawaii basketball team.
Leila is really pretty 🙂
ST and Tsai-kos, thanks for making me feel welcomed at the KK. Sorry it took me a few days to surface…had to think of my name. Didn’t want you to think I was “one and done.” You’re a great gang, and Addahknowsports, yes…cheers to off-season activities! Thanks to all of you…Homey, Midori7, UHfan808, Addahknowjoe, Stretch. And Jesse, who needs “American Idol” when there’s you? Shauna?!??!?!?!?
PowderPuff,
did your name choose you?
I guess you could say so. I was thinking about it, and it didn’t come to me ’til I wen bocha a little while ago.
welcome to the Tsai-ko ohana! now you can chat on Shauna’s blog too!
Thank you, chawan_cut. You’re too kind…yes, I’ll venture to Shauna’s blog too. Mahalo for being part of the welcoming committee. I can’t remember how long I’ve been lurking. It feels great to put faces to names.
If the principle of “What happens at a Karaoke Call stays at the Karaoke Call”, I can’t even talk about what’s going to happen at the next one… 🙄

FIRST TSAI-KO HOMECOMING KARAOKE CALL
Saturday, February 21, 2009 1915 – 0130
Click on my name above. Scroll down to the yellow Events Calendar section..
Please RSVP me if you have not been there before.
Who’s PowderPuff? Isn’t that a japanese superhero girl?
kazz,
you are right.
jorden – You should see her in person! chawan just melts.
STEPHEN or JOHN- please correct the name on today’s video description. Richard Cooley should be Chris Cooley.
Mahalo!
g-nalo – That was not me on Punchbowl St. Time for you to get new glasses.
wow, late homey.
i think PowderPuff is the one Stephen mentioned the other day that did not have a blog name.
and they’re those girls with big eyes and funny hair and are short. wait, you’re right, they could be japanese superhero girls.
homey,
i don’t melt!
Homey, I really enjoyed talking to you on Saturday. A really lovely guy….can’t wait for future get-togethers.
nite!
PowderPuff – Well if you are the one I’m thinking of then same to you! Next time you gotta at least sing backup and dance with ST. 😆
chawan – The melting comment was just for special effects.
I wrote somewhere else,and basically I wanted to get this off my chest here, too. In reference of this sport’s columnists bemoaning about how UH should keep the local talent home it just rubbed me the wrong way. He’s probably right. But to me me it speaks badly of the ones (recruits) we got this year. And I don’t think so. I think we did great this year.
Accentuate the positives, but no the columnist wants to write and say we…… “need to keep the local talent home”. It’s almost like inferring that the local recruits we got this year are a bunch of slugs. And that’s the furthest from the truth. The kids recruited in the last couple of years are going to be great. I think so. The coaches think so. And a lot of fans think so.
The UH football program, presently, has a nice wind at it’s back. And things are sailing along, nicely.
In regards to recruiting and looking off in the horizon, or future, the UH football program made huge advances with this class.
Here’s a list of local high school recruits that are coming to the Warriors.
Check the other schools, mostly PAC-10, that UH competed with in recruitment.
How I see it, UH did a creditable job. As another poster mentioned, the super athlete, or anomaly, has a mind of his own, that he deservingly wants to play on the biggest stage. This shouldn’t be a slight on UH. Or, further, induce a columnist into saying that “we need to get more of the top local players.” Patience. Patience. Patience.
Stutzmann (Washington State,Washington,Oregon State, Michigan State, Colorado)
Ma’afala (California, Washington)
Shutter (New Mexico)
Brackenridge (Idaho, Wyoming)
Aulola Tonga (UCLA, BYU)
Makainai
Loeffler
Alo
Malepeai
Lopati (Washington, Oregon State, Oregon, Colorado, California, Baylor)
There’s a cache of high school talent in the islands.
And we’re seeing that the speed and quickness clinics, combines, camps are all tools for the kids to get better . And the UH coach’s interests in the kids, the kid’s interest in the UH and the UH coaches fostering bonds with recruit’s parents, community and the high school coaches are the impetus that will quickly see more of the local kids gravitating to UH.
The residual of all this interests as a result is so beneficial to the kids. For all of all this motivation (camps, combines,etc) and mentoring (speeches telling the kids to do their school work) by the UH coaches is making the kids opening their eyes and evoking their interests in football. And this is the very important first step in recruitment. Coach Mack sees the picture. (I didn’t say this, but I should have–“But the columnist doesn’t).
Back to guard duty. Goodnight all.
Good night Homey…Good night all…
Thanks ST for allowing coach Nash to share his insight with us. It’s always a treat to listen to a coach that bubbles over with enthusiasim for his players and his program.
Good night Kekoa. Time for me to good nene too… Hasta manana.
PowderPuff- Welcome to this side of your monitor.
FYI,
The Japanese cartoon girls are the POWERPUFF Girls not powder.
Yes, I like C_C!
on the scout.com message board, they are saying that b stutz will be one of the next coaches. is there any truth to this?
sorry, i meant craig s
A nice 2-hour snow delay morning everyone!!!
Good Morning Tsaikos!!
PowderPuff, finally you come out of hiding and have a name!! Can we call you PP for short?? Ummmm, better not, homey might think we are talking about something else.
Good program on the WAT Show yesterday. Thanks for the rerun link!
Is there a way to watch the past video in an archive? Or is it a once it is gone say aloha type of thing. I can see where that would be a good thing but one that may eventually eat up a lot of space.
Seems Esme and Tsai are setting up a matchmaking service. Keeping with moms and Tsai-kos it could be the EaT service.
Oops. Might have to rethink the name of the show and service.
“The Wai and Tsai Show”
“The Esme and Tsai Service”
I wonder why the social services continue to give the mother of the 14 kids money. Were did she get the 10k for the fertility treatment? What doctor would do this to a person who cannot even support herself?
Is she trying to break some kind of sick world record?
Is the father paying any child support for the first six kids? And now he has to pay for 14? I certainly feel sorry for her parents!
If the economy was in better shape would we view this story in a more positive light?
Hmmmmmm.
wafan,
I read that she got an anonymous sperm donor for her latest birth (the 8 kids)…no father to pay child support because nobody knows who the sperm donor is.
The father of the mother of 14 is going to Iraq to work as a contractor because he can make a lot more money that way and help support his grandchildren. The mother of the mother of 14 is upset with the doctor that gave her fertility treatments–the doctor that gave the fertility treatments for the woman’s first 6 kids refused.
The mother of 14 apparently collected $100k or so in a disability claim, which is how she said that she could afford fertility treatments. Of course, it does bring to mind the question of why she is so dependent on food stamps and government payments for her kids when she is sitting on so much cash.
I’m going to be off blog all work day, which is sad for me. Even sadder is that I have to wear a suit today to attend a conference…I hate wearing that suit.
Wafan ~ Breathe!
Wafan ~ Breathe!
Kekoa . . .
Thanks. But, who is going to remind me for the rest of the day?
Time to scrape my windows . . . again.
Aloha Kakahiaka!
Wafan- $100k won’t last a year to care for those kids. Sheesh.
Friends of mine had 5 kids under 5 (2 sets of twins and a single) and it took both parents at home full time to care for them properly and not go crazy. And that was in simpler times in the 70s.
Garret- may you reap the sweet fruits of your labor to compensate for “suit day”.
Great Morning All!
Nice job with the Nash interview yesterday!
Maybe next week there could be Matchmaking updates?
heheheh
good morning tsaikos. looks like there may be few tsaikos going over to the windward side this week to watch the SBS. hopefully michelle does well and maybe win the tourney. what a way to start your lpga career.
wafan, hope you made it to school. according to my friend, he said there is a chance that the snow may melt off because of warmer temp. warmer temp, 40*. hahahahahahahaaaaaa
make it 350 and time to go.
thanks, whitey- GOOD LUCK, MICHELLE!!!
Each UH sport team is trimming their expenses. I wonder who or what the Wahine bb team could trim to help out?
