Thanks
Avis selects 808Ike as the winner of the John Wooden-autographed book. Text me at 256-0223 to collect.
* * * * *
I apologize.
I’m just not very good at saying goodbye. That and the fact that for some reason I always get an allergic reaction — once it was chili peppers, I insisted — that makes me tear up, coincidentally, whenever it’s time to say farewell. My kids call it: “Dad’s chili-pepper moments.” Or, as my son might say: “The Bozo is going to blame the chili peppers again.”
Anyway, special thanks to:
• Dave Koga and Andy Yamaguchi. Those were the two writers I idolized growing up in The Advertiser. They spent the past several years as editors, so few have been able to read their brilliant prose. But Dave, Andy and brother Michael Tsai are the top writers in the state.
• Clyde Mizumoto, Steve Kimura, Paul Carvalho, Kyle Sakamoto and Bart Asato were always there to correct my mistakes, and, trust me, I’ve made a lot of mistakes, especially on deadline stories. In The Advertiser system, the sports copy editors also were responsible for rewriting the roundups for all of the national and local stories, such as the high school games not covered by a staffer. It was thankless (and uncredited) work, but they did it with great skill and pride.
• Stan Pusieski and Brandon Masuoka. As page designers, they always created displays that complemented and, more often than not, enhance the stories. And when writers screwed up by writing too long or too short — again, especially on deadline — they would make the adjustments.
* Reporters Stacy Kaneshiro, Dayton Morinaga, Wes Nakama, Kalani Takase, Stan Lee and Leila Wai.
• Da Clerks.
• And Avis Yasumura, Christie Lee Williams, Elroy Garcia, Sarah Montgomery, June Yago, Celia Downes, Richard Couch, Zenaida Cadaoas, Helen North, Curtis Lum, Greg Yamamoto, Richard Ambo, Leslie Kawamoto, and the retail and classified sales staffs.
I love you all.
And, darn, the chili peppers.
Mahalo to you Stephen.
Mahalo to you, Stephen, and to everyone at the HA who have helped us all make memories.
1200 more to go!
No mahalos for d1島, who took my shot at being first. 🙂
Our thanks should go to you for creating this place, ST.
Sacramento State wants into the WAC. They, Texas State, UT-San Antonio, Montana, UC-Davis, Cal Poly, and others will be among those considered, but any team moving up to D-IA from D-IAA will need a few transition years and will count as a D-IAA team even when they are a WAC member for at least one year. That could hurt the bowl eligibility of some WAC teams.
mahalo to you ST and staff.
Thanks, ST.
heheheh
Ditto the sentiments. From a long time lurker, thanks ST and the Tsaikos for hours of entertainment. See you on the other side.
Cal Poly is hoping to move up to the WAC.
The interesting thing is that the conference that Cal Poly and UC-Davis play football in may fold soon…so, they either move to the WAC or end their football programs. That puts a lot of pressure on their University and their boosters.
where are Cal Poly and Cal Davis located? i prefer california schools if we have to take anybody. traveling to Montana and Texas might be a stretch. (sorry stretch i couldn’t help it).
Have the last issue of HA.
ST,
1981-young and clean cut
Present- ?
( must be job security ) LOL.
Mahalo to you ST and the rest of the staff at the Honolulu Advertiser.
is sad that we are not looking to combine with the MWC. i hope Hawaii gets asked to go to another conference that will be giving Hawaii more money, more money, more money. with adding all these “unknown” teams, i hope the NCAA doesn’t revert us to Pop Warner status.
Cal Poly…San Luis Obispo….look for the violent student protests in the streets.
Davis, CA…..you got me???
Re-Bidding Aloha to the Honolulu Advertiser
“Keep the change,” my father once said, as he handed a newspaper boy a twenty.
At that time, I was eight. And I couldn’t understand why he would do that.
Perhaps it was because of my young age and my curious nature. And perhaps it had a lot to do, as I have learned later, that my father’s childhood days were also filled with being a newspaper boy, delivering in the St. Louis Heights area and at the old stadium.
I remember that day. I remember how the newspaper boy quickly put the twenty away with a big smile on his face. And replied with words reserved for generous purchasers , “thank you sir.”
That remembrance I’ll never forget.
Today, likewise, with the closing of the Advertiser I’ll never forget.
Somewhere along the line from the newspaper boys, writers to editors– everyone of the staff included; everyone, including the readers, has equity in the paper. A 154 years of history, a 154 years of the Advertiser striving in giving the public the best in reporting the news, comes to end today. So it hurts deeply. It hurts similarly like imagining a once robust pineapple field burning to the ground. And never to be replanted. So I’m very saddened today.And I join in with others in wishing that those that are affected by the void, and void left behind, better days. Aloha Advertiser.
Pop Warner status might be good too. then i can volunteer coach again.
UC-Davis and Sacramento State are very close to each other–if you drive from San Jose to Reno, Davis is a nice stopping point in the middle of your drive.
Cal Poly (San Luis Obispo) is in Central California, about halfway between SF and LA. They are a little bit of a pain to get to because you can’t really fly directly there–you fly somewhere and drive pretty far to get there.
Time to change buses I guess…
too bad.. this one was so comfortable..
but then, who knows what the next one will be like, eh?
Different company.. different support staff.. but still the same driver..
We go.. we ride.. we find out..
Hopefully..
we like.
ST,
What is the new web site info for those moving over?
i’ve been reading the HA sooooooooo long i could swear i was there for the first edition. 154 years? well, maybe not.
One of my wife’s friends from Castle High went to UC-Davis when we lived in the Bay Area so we stopped to visit with him several times. We toured the campus twice and always seemed to find an excuse to eat at the In-N-Out there. There were a good number of students from Hawaii there that we would always run into.
The big trouble for Davis, Cal Poly, Sacramento State, and all other California schools is that they are having their budgets really squeezed due to the budget cuts in California. This is a difficult time for them to come up with the money to move to D-IA. The Texas schools have a lot more money right now…
Hello Fellow Tsaikos –
A bittersweet day knowing this is the last day to post on the blog as we know it, along with all of the hard-working staffers not knowing what the future holds for them.
All I can say is thanks for the memories and see you on the “other side”.
Best,
Rich2176
PS – Thanks for all of the b-day wishes!!
i know, my posts are getting lame. but i’m in a good mood, still floating from the Wahine softball success and coming off meeting most of the Taikos last night.. just trying to do my part to get to the magic number.
papajoe2,
Keep posting!
….speaking of da magic number….
Where is jmxxxx? It was her idea to go for a new high!
Mahalo & Aloha!
It’s just the beginning…
papajoe2,
Pop Warner, then Tsaikos can start a team.
Morning Tsaikos!
Thanks ST for all the years of a great blog. I hope it doesn’t get altered in any way as it becomes part of the HSA.
Cal Davis is 15 minutes from the Sacramento airport, but they do not have a large stadium for football.
Garret, with the softbows not playing and the basebows on the brink of elimination (never say never) keep feeding us with the info about conference switches. i really appreciate your efforts to find all this information. too bad for me and all of us that you couldn’t be at the KKcall last night. eventually i will meet you when i travel to San Diego for a cruise, and can thank you personally.

BG,
Happy belated B-DAY!

Re-posting from the last blog:
The MWC schools are meeting today. BSU to be invited or not should be decided today. BYU’s President is working on a Sunday on this issue.
The Big 10 schools are meeting today. Will they speed up their expansion plans due to the Pac-10 threat?
The Pac-10 schools are meeting today. Their commissioner is presenting his plan for expansion today to their University Presidents.
There should be a LOT of news leaking out today, which is fitting for the last day of the blog. The college football world could be completely different by the time ST’s blog starts on the Star-Advertiser.
we should ask the SEC if they like look at the Tsaikos to join the conference. we get all their TV money and quit and go buy beer.
QB= quit bitching? that’s meeeeeeaaaan.
papajoe2 #38,
Ditto!
320 Cal Poly hard to get to? OUT!!
34
Huddle? Heck, I vote for longer halftime and if we even make it to the field it be declared a victory for us.
papajoe2,
I’m glad that you like the information on the possible changes going on with conferences. I’m following everything VERY closely because things could end up being much better for UH or much worse…nothing will be the same 2 years from now.
I also have an additional outside view of the situation because I had a fundraiser from Texas fly to visit with me in San Diego (he let me pick any restaurant I wanted for a free lunch with him!). Even though he was a fundraiser for the graduate school, it is amazing how the graduate school and the rest of the University uses their Athletic teams to encourage donations! The availability of tickets and the location of the seat you get is determined by your donation level of course. That fundraiser spent most of the lunch talking with me about the football team and the conference changes possible…he had some interesting news and explained the perspective of things from the Texas point of view.
only in the 40s and i tired already! my fingers and brain catching cramp.
With all of those other conferences meeting today, I wonder what Karl Benson and the WAC Presidents are doing? If they aren’t meeting, are they at least talking with each other? Or are all the Presidents trying to get their schools in different conferences? Or do many of the Presidents not care enough about sports so they don’t want to bother being proactive about things?
i think i have to put my fingers to my brain to massage it.
now my ear sore from doing that.
Mahalo to Whitey and Duffer for joining me on this Wahine softball pledge.
For those wondering, the money will go directly to UH softball for Coach Coolen to use at his discretion.
I clock out at $310.00.
Maybe they think they are all such fine research universities they do not need sports?
We
Are
Crazy
#46 & 47 Papajoe2, you funny!
#50 shucks!, forgot to change my blog name.
Re-Ferd’s last column
At first, I was eager to see what he wrote. Maybe something nostalgic I’m hoping, considering this is the final curtain call for the paper, and his 36 years with sharing a bond with his readers. Some column, perhaps, of dealing with acknowledgment to his readers. Or, perhaps, and worthier, giving homage to his peers. But nope. No treat. No departure on a good note. Instead his final column is about the umpire that robbed the pitcher of a perfect game. You know something, this is vintage Ferd.
JD will be chatting on SportsHawaii between 10am and 11am tomorrow (June 7). If anyone cannot be there then, you can post your questions here:

KAZZ, WHITEY and DUFFER, akua going look out for you guys. bless you all.
BG,
Hope Betty is doing well!
Great chef and tenacious individual! Will she be the centurion of
Tsaiko T-gate again, next year?
The Big 10 meeting is probably finished by now. They have a press conference starting in a little more than 30 minutes. The Big 12’s deadline to Nebraska means that the Pac 10 has to make its decisions quickly. Also note that the Big 12 did *not* give a deadline to Missouri…they seem to care if Nebraska leaves and seem to NOT care if Missouri does. Or maybe they know that the Big 10 does not want Missouri.
Kazz,
Knew you could sing. Your cheering and yelling at ball games
had a special ring.
Mahalo to ST & the HA staff for the blog & paper. Reading the articles when I lived on the mainland kept me connected & the articles about the Warriors in 2007 got me hooked. This blog gave me connections to people before I moved home & made the transition easy. We’ll keep the 5 F’s celebrated on another page of another paper. Thanks, Stephen!
I’m like papajoe2 with rigor mortis of finger and brain.
Esme out.
OK, it’s UCLA on to the WCWS finals.
Thanks, Pomai. I’m taking the leftover stew to the homeless people at the Old Stadium Park. They need it more than I do.

I think KB is busy making sure BSU gets well taken care of.
WAC? Oh, maybe later if I have some time.
#60, what you talkin bout slugger!! softball still going on. ai no kea already. nah, just joking. i was watching while blogging.
riot in South Africa trying to get into soccer game. interviewing a guy with puka head.
#60 slugger, akua going watch out for you too. bless you and all the Tsaikos.
As I do not know when this site will go “dark” and if this is my last post, then I dedicate it to the 2010 UH Na Wahine softball team for you, with your poise and grace and athlecticism brought much joy and pride to the entire State of Hawaii in your magical ride to the Women’s College Softball World Series. Thank you for allowing me to be on this excellent journey with you!!
#54 and #64, DARN!! i forget change my blog name again. i going ruin my reputation.
eh Homey!, Koakane!, wake up. no worry we going blog softly so we no bother the hang.lol
papajoe2, did anybody tell you are hilarious?

Slow final day of HA Warrior Beat –
go for it and let’s see what the final count shows!
Maybe we can all add to the final record count +K?
ST- will you still have WB title on SA and any word on streaming video program?
yup, i know, never change the name again.
A&M-Dartmouth elim game coming to a mean finish…
A&M stays alive…..
Geez…as they shake hands after the game, it’s clear why A&M prevailed! At least 4 inch height advantage throughout the line!
just trying to do my part for da magic #. going take a break now. gotta go driving range, hit balls for tomorrow’s golf. Garret keep going. i’ll catch up.
Over there,
Over there,
Send the word, send the word over there!
That the Tsai-kos are coming,
The Tsai-kos are coming,
The drums rum-tumming everywhere!
So prepare,
Say a prayer,
Send the word, send the word to beware!
We’ll be over,
We’re coming over,
And we won’t come back ’cause we’re movin’ over, there.
#42 wafan, field? what field? we get the money from the SEC. parking lot is good so we can party with the tailgaters.
I saw an internet report that claimed that the Big 10 has invited both Nebraska and Missouri. That surprised me since I thought Missouri was off their list. However, the report claimed that ESPN News was reporting the invitation and I don’t think that is the case…so, I have to wait for the press conference.
Sad to hear about the wahine ending their season. Keep your heads held high ladies. Now you know what it feels like to be in WCWS and the hard work to get there. Gotta work even harder during the offseason to get the tittle. Hawaii is as well as many around the country are proud of you ladies.
Happy belated birthday to my green bleeding uncle, BG!
Here’s to many more.
Good Morning Gangeez! 🙂 🙂 🙂
I remember Sunday mornings on our farm in the early Seventies, my father would send me on the 50 yard trek down the hill to the mailbox to collect the Sunday edition of the Advertiser.
Doing this service for him meant that out of the five kids in the family, I would get first dibs on the full color Sunday comics section after my Dad read them.
Developers bulldozed the farm in 1973 to build townhouses.
My Father went to his maker in ’97.
The five kids in that family are now grandparents.
And after today, the Honolulu Advertiser is no more.
The only guarantee in life is change, I guess.
Thank you Honolulu Advertiser for a lifetime of memories.
You will be sorely missed.
Happy Birthday to you, BG!
Sorry papajoe2, lameness is already taken by a well know Tsaiko!
Howzit DPK!

For the seniors, it will be a memory for life!
For the underclassmen, something to strive for next season.
For me, KAZZ and WHITEY, a trip to the bank for a loan!
But we’d do it all over again.

Last day before the first day.
1. ST — Mahalo for building the hale for this ‘ohana .
2. ‘Ohana — Mahalo to all of you for making it a home that welcomes everyone who shares a passion for Warrior sports and is willing to express that passion in a way that is pono.
3. I’ll lurk on over to the other side and “see” you all there. Hopefully one of these days I’ll be able to travel to the big city for a game at the stadium (last time was in ’83!), and when that day comes, I’ll be sure to stop in at the T-gate. It would be great to meet some of you and experience the Tsaiko spirit in person!

An interesting day indeed! We’re looking forward to tomorrow and hope that the ‘new” nupepa isn’t anywhere as junk as the combo tv news broadcasts.
Sent in a contribution to the softball program as a mahalo gift for the DVD of last week’s Wahine super-regional ballgame.
I encourage everyone who has an iPhone to install the VoiceOver app – my closeup eyesight has improved remarkably as long as I’m not wearing my contacts. In order to read/use my iPhone while wearing my contacts which makes the world safe while I drive, I need to use the VO.
BTW – best kept secret in the Apple World – the Waikiki store. It’s not overwhelmed with 13 year olds and they have a really great series of basic workshops..
Also, Pacific New Media at UH-Manoa is offering a couple of iPhone workshops this summer. Now if I can only shave my fingers so that they fit better on the tiny screen, everything would be cool.
The Pac-10 Presidents and Chancellors approved expansion and empowered their Commissioner to expand with ANY teams he wants to add!
Chancellor Hinshaw was the provost and executive vice chancellor of the University of California, Davis.
A long time ago UC-Davis was considered just an Ag school. My honey takes his horses there sometimes for major veterinary care.
The Pac-10 has a deadline for expansion:
1-2-3
1-2-3
still 2-1
Kekoa,
sound Reveille!
We need numbers to post numbers!
ESPN article (got to pay for the articles so I’m not quoting anything from the articles) says that the Big 12 plans to *kick out* Missouri if they don’t pledge loyalty to the Big 12.
Another ESPN article says that Kansas could go to the Big East.
Slugger,
UH Pres. Greenwood also came from UC-Davis.
Steven, MAHALOs to you, Leila and the rest of your gang. The Warrior Beat of the Honolulu Advertiser is the GREATEST!! Hope the next is just as great.
Blank screen on http://www.staradvertiser.com, but at least I didn’t get an error.
Chip Brown (who broke the Pac-16 story) has a very interesting article today that summarizes things nicely. This tidbit would create a domino effect for the SEC, Big East, ACC, C-USA…and eventually could shift things in the MWC and WAC.
If the SEC takes Florida State and Virginia Tech, the ACC will probably raid the Big East…the Big East would raid C-USA, and so on.
Kolton with a Hit!
You da man ST. We’re happy you still have a job! keep up the good work and put more ads on the sidelines so you guys don’t run out of business. mahalo. Brada Puhi
Too bad about all the other folks losing their jobs. Aloha no.
Go Bows!!!
Garret,
I also appreciate all your conference re-alignment posts.
Maybe the best for Hawaii is a huge shake up of all the conferences. As you said, could be very good or could be very bad.
It looks like the Big 10 just announced that they will NOT invite any team today. They said that they might not expand or they might expand in stages. The info is from the Twitter feed of reporters who went to the press conference.
Thanks d1 –
I hope you folks had a wela kahao time at the KK last night.
Sweety and I were looking forward to attending until a family crisis came up on thursday.
I spent that day in the Queens ER with my son who fractured a vertabrae in a swimming accident. He’s going to be okay, but my wife and I felt it was best to stay close to him for the next couple of days in case he needed to go back in.
Keep him in your prayers, Tsaikos.
Mahalo to you ST. Good morning Tsaiko. A big Mahalo to the Softbows for taking Hawaii to the big show.

Once they were done, we got to open presents
We really hated when Christmas was on a Sunday because the Sunday edition was so huge.
Decided on loco-moco’s for dinner tonight. Well, and for the next couple of nights, too.

ST – Thanks for bringing the Warrior community together.
Tsaikos – Thanks for sharing your enthusiasm. Your wisdom and points of view. Just a great community here. Although, I can’t contribute as much as I would like, I just enjoy checking in to see whats up here so please keep it going.
Garrett – Thanks for you updates on the shakeup going on with the conference alignment. I hope Commissioner Benson is on top of it as much as you are. Comm Benson … we need you to stay on top of this.
Go BaseBows!!!
Look forward to seeing what’s on the other side.

Mahalo Nui Loa to all the Advertiser staff. May the new road lead to an even better opportunity. God bless to all those who were not retained.
Thanks to ST for creating a place where fans could become family.
The Warrior Beat is our community. It’s the town square where we all meet to talk about how we can help the teams we love. It’s the local diner where we can talk about what’s going on in “town”. It’s the bar where everyone knows our “name” – and invites us to sing! It’s the social network where we get back in touch with people we haven’t seen or spoken to for years and meet new people who instantly become family. It’s the church full of loving, caring people who will provide for us when we are in need, be it with prayer, a place to stay, a ride somewhere, a meal, time and effort or whatever else we need.
In this community, I’ve met friends who are now family. I’ve reconnected with best friends from my youth. I have a place where I can be as fanatical as I want about UH sports and not only do people understand, they encourage it. I’ve had the privilege of being a part of a group the is truly special and truly makes a difference in this world.
Mahalo Advertiser for taking a chance on the Warrior Beat.
Mahalo Stephen for getting it started and keeping it going.
Mahalo Tsaikos for making it family.
Is it September 2nd yet?!?!?
Mahalo to you ST. Off-island Tsaikos around the world deeply appreciate the work you have done to keep us up to date on UH sports. Because of your blog, we can go to any road game knowing that we can meet up with Tsaikos to tail gate with. And finally, most importantly, at least once every two years we have a guarans’ ball bearin’s kitchen pass to Las Vegas due to the Warrior Beat! 🙂
SteveM–
Mahalo, also, for all that you do! Continue to do the great work that you do. BIG MAHALO!
#52-
troll, I can’t disagree more. I thought it was a fitting final column for a sports writer to write about what was probably the greatest display of sportsmanship in decades.
Get well soon, Spencer!
Kazz,
#48 ~ BIG MAHALOS to you, duffer & whitey for your monetary support of Na Wahine!
Shooting for a record number of posts today? 😕
If everyone who ever posted on The Warrior Beat did so once today, there would be around 2,450. This poster number derived by credible blog names based on comment content and context. (My judgment call, so it could be off by a few hundred).
I propose a “ground rule” when determining 900, 1000, etc. posters… if undeleted SPAM exists when they post, they win. Subsequent deletion of outside spam will not affect the winners. So be sure to watch it live. 🙂
Bows now up 4-1. Bottom of the 5th.
#112 ~ Garret,
MRC Greenwood was at UC-Santa Cruz. It’s a beautiful campus. I drove my son through that campus when we were looking at colleges.
#60 ~ The people at the Old Stadium Park were very grateful for a stew lunch today. Thanks, Pomai!
Thanks to all of the Tsaikos for the ono food & beverages last night. I think I only had 2 cups of water all night. Not hanging this morning. Yay!
GO BOWS!!! I sure don’t miss the heat in the Phoenix area.
SteveM,
Heard 808ike lives on Mars.
Oops forgot to change name.
We’ll miss the format we are used to, but will embrace our next step forward
Many thanks to ST for binding us all together
We have 702WarriorNation, one of the three co-founders of the Tsai-ko Las Vegas “chapter”. I assumed 702WarriorFan might be a lurker…
…unless Paul has changed his blog name or computer. 😕
Slugger #168,
Didn’t you see me standing in line waiting for Pomai’s stew?
Go Basebows!
Slugger,
MRC Greenwood was a Professor at *UC-Davis* when she was hired by UH.
Good morning Tsai-kos!!
I’m here, I’m here. Got home last night around 1:45, did dishes, then went sleep. Got up around 8, got dressed and took my car in for service (again). The problem I took it in for last week was still there even though they replaced the part. Got home after 11.
Congrats to the UH Wahine on their most stupendous season! Thank you for taking us on your ride with you. Like many fans, I discovered softball this year and I loved what I found. Enjoy your accomplishments. To the seniors, best of wishes to you as you journey to the next stage of your life. To the underclassmen, keep up the good work and next year, you could. go. all. the. way.!
Mahalo and aloha to the Honolulu Advertiser for being a part of all our lives for the past century and a half. For those not moving to the new paper, best wishes.
Attended my first Karaoke Kall last night. What a blast!! Didn’t know Kazz could sing! During the prize giveaway, a box was tossed my way. PP was sitting next to me as I opened the box and instantly started drooling over it, so I gave it to PP. The item? Post-its and post-it flags. 😆
To the Tsai-kos – thank you so much for welcoming me into the ohana. You guys are the best. You have re-ignited my passion for UH sports. This past season, because I knew I would find at least a few Tsai-kos, I attended my first Wahine basketball, softball and baseball games. The center-court conversationalists have also helped develop 2 new fans of men’s volleyball. You have become great friends that I know I will be able to count on if I ever need them.
Onward to the blog record!

Wow. The two teams that our wahine lost to are going for the championship starting tomorrow.

#194 is wrong…ignore it.
Finally get the 3rd out. 4-6 heading into bottom of 6th.
Argh….
AZ was in losers bracket. They have to beat Tennessee twice to advance. Double elimination.

Re-The end of the Wahine’s magical journey
“We just ran out of gas,” Coolen said in today’s Advertiser article,”Bows’ magical run comes to end”. “We just couldn’t catch up.”
Coach Coolen alluded to the thousands of miles of travel… and being on the road for 28 days as contributing to the fatigue his team suffered at the end.
Anybody following this team, watching, would agree. I agree. Although maybe the ESPN crew wouldn’t agree. Or credit the burden that these girls played through.
But if ones were watching closely you could see it in their bodies and faces of the emotional and physical strain taking it’s toll.
The tell tale sign to me was watching the girls in the batters box. I’d look and watch how energized and refreshed that their practice swings would be when they’re running on all cylinders..yet in the last couple of games one could see that even their practice swings weren’t the same.It looked, to me, labored.
Fatigue and tired may be an understatement.
Twenty eight days on the current road trip against elite competition, combined with April’s schedule of eight games on the road was like watching, similarly, at the end a fishermen fighting for hours with a prized marlin, yet only to see fatigue set in to the fishermen and the marlin running away.
So for the girls, like the fatigued fishermen that loss a big marlin, you do feel their pain. You feel their loss. You feel how the championship was within their grasp.
For the Wahine they can take solace in planting the seeds, for now.
But you know something, when you look out at the horizon it beckons this team to go further in the future. Thank you, Wahine Softball.

Wow, all of sudden I stay missing plenny kine stuff. Da Honolulu Advertiser, Columbia Inn, Da Civic Center, Pro Wrestling, Roller Derby, Honolulu Stadium, 50th Sate Fair at Magic Island, Coco’s, Da real Kapiolani Cofee Shop on Kapiolani, going shopping in August for all of my school clothes in Kaimuki of all places. Used to walk up and down Waialae Avenue buying shoes, shirts, pants, and panties. Miss my favorite Hawaii Islander Bo Belinski. Going Big Island on Aloha Airlines.

Kitamura doubles. Runners on 2nd and 3rd. 1 out.

No way we going make 1200 posts today. All of the Tsai-kos are too lame.
just found out that you can go to espn1420am.com and listen to the game while on the blog
who else thinks that THE Princess would be a good fit for TV sports? Doesn’t Kekaula need a backup sports anchor now that DeMello is at KHON?

Yes I know. I’m just joking. Lame people do not raise money as quickly as the Tsai-kos do, in an unselfish manner without fanfare.
I don’t know if I will be ablest do this on this blog after today so. . .
Is there any interest in another Wahine softball DVD?
When I offered the final game against Alabama, there was some interest expressed in other games. If there is enough interest, I don’t mind doing one more. Too much work to do them all. I have all of the files necessary for any Super Regional or World Series games (including the radio audio). I also have the WAC title clinching and the WAC tournament games (but no radio audio).
Let me know here on the blog or by emailing me at hoherb at yahoo dot com. I’m thinking the first World Series game. . .
pride, das lame, you one tsaiko what? 🙂
Double by USD to start the inning.
ablest = allowed
An Advertiser memory for our family was being one of two families to deliver the paper in Wahiawa in the sixties. We had everything above Kamehameha Hwy. 400 papers on Sunday. Actually my sisters delivered the paper. 😀 I shouldn’t take any credit.
Congratulations and good luck to her. I have friends that do business in Shanghai and Jingbao. They love going there every month.
Let’s Go Bows!
Pride. – safe travels, i remember working on that old terminal
d1,
yeah, don’t you think that would be perfect?
2nd batter walked. Runners 1st and 2nd, no outs.
Na Wahine softbows. to the underclassman. take a week or 2 off to get and do all the things that you didn’t have time for because you were busy with school and softball. then go back from day 1 of softball, from your individual preparation in the preseason, thru the regular season and into the playoffs. think about what you could have done better to make your self a better person and player. start working on those things that can make you a better player, student, and person. start NOW!!! Remember your seniors how they helped you and your teammates achieve all that your team did this year. Be the leader next year for those newcomers and players that didn’t have much playing time. No, all of you don’t have to be a holler, holler, leader. Leading by example does wonders. Decision making on what to do, and, just as important, what not to do will help the new players and returning players be successful on the field, in the classroom and in life. Remember your seniors who will not be there next year to help the team along. Remember how they felt when the final pitch was pitched and their career was over. Remember that well. Vow not to let that happen next year. Work hard. Focus. And take it to the top!!! Loved you guys this year and years past. Hoping for an even better year next year. IMUA NA WAHINE SOFTBOWS!!!
You taking away my membership card?
stephen….mahalo.
papajoe2: if I remember way back when, the inserts and comics for the Sunday paper came on Saturday. You could have come over our house and not have to wait in line for the comics. 😀
DP.
chawan_cut, d1島 – i agree too!
two outs.
Beef! Beef!
Bwah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
I remember saying bye to everybody there. Choke leis, hugs and kisses.
4th century.
I remember going to the neighbor islands for the summer. It was like you were not returning with all of the lei and stuff.
Now, leave for just about anywhere and nothing. HA!
3 outs.
Ditto.
Hawaii’s bats woke up when SD took the lead.. sheesh… hope they can close out strong..
Found on the SB, Jason Kaneshiro:
Wanna go welcome them? POMAI?
When I lived in SW Missouri, I used to drive to Tulsa to fly back to HNL. Bigger airlines, better fares, shorter routes.
Matt, thanks for the updates.
Pride, you’re welcome.
Looks like we play da SunDevils again.
#298 sjmacro, you thinking of somebody else waiting for the comics. i wanted the sports page. you must remembered my good looks from last night.lol
Like Garret said, we can either go forward or backward. It all depends on how the chips fall. I’m afraid that a stronger Pac 10 will make football recruiting at Hawaii even harder than it is today.
Still 12-6 after 8 innings. USD coming up for their last at bat.
3 outs away from a re-match with the Sun Devils x 2!
Uhhhh…I guess that’s a good thing 😕
#309 ~ sjmacro, myki? who else has time?
Would Trap throw Slaats again? He’s got the freshest arm but maybe not the clearest head???

Actually Haka, you are right, I did make a lame statement. I apologize to all Tsai-kos and all lurkers. You know that I love all of you, every single one. I will sentence myself to the penalty box for an indefinite period of time. Aloha to all.
2 more outs and man on. I’m feeling confident!
Yeesh!
USD scores twice. Runner on 3rd 1 out.
Come on, Bows! The heat will cause problems with your concentration. They need to hydrate, hydrate, hydrate.
GO BOWS!!! Defense!
Two outs. USD scores another.
ST
Thank you for creating this blog for all of us UH fans to read, react, revel and blow off steam. I hope the family will stay together in their support of all UH sports. All good things must come to an end, but what a great ride.
Come On!!!!
Do it!
12-9 now.
Re #112, #167, #175
Greenwood was at UC-Santa Cruz before UC-Davis.
Yes! 😀
Slugger: we should be able to make it (speaking for myki)
Game over. Bows win 12-9.
Congrats, Bows! 12-9 UH
mi mi mi….
Congratulations to the baseball team!
702WarriorFan,
I thought that was you by what you wrote! I really like how you changed your name and why you did it.
Whew, way to go Bows.
I, also, like Shanghai! So modern.
It looks like the Big 12’s deadline caused Nebraska to publicly distance themselves from the Big 10…before this they were criticizing the Big 12 (especially the revenue structure) and indicating their interest in the Big 10.
Thanks wahine for breaking the NCAA single season HR record. You gals didn’t just break it, you broke it by a MILE
Good job bows!
el guapo,
Thanks for the info on MRC.
I don’t think we really want UC-Davis in the WAC. NAU used to beat Sac. St., too. Montana is really the better football team in the Big Sky.
Not sure if anyone posted about this, click on my name and please help out. Saw this in today’s last HA.
Maybe this changes things for Nebraska–the Big 10 has said a number of times that they would stop at 12 teams if their 12th team was Notre Dame. It is interesting that Notre Dame’s AD was present at the Big 10’s 4.5 hour meeting today…
link to the HA story
If the Big 12 ends up mainly sticking together, that would mean that the Pac-10 would probably be limited to Colorado and Utah or some other minor expansion. If the Big 10 ends up with 12 teams, then the SEC won’t have to respond and things won’t get too crazy.
papajoe2: #313–looks like my “remembering back when” not too good from even yesterday. 😎
good day tsaiko country, finally getting up from da night of mmmmmmmmmm
first congrats to the wahine sball team for their efforts and passion playing for the UH and the State of Hawaii. you all did us proud.
continued success to warrior men when the go against dem sun devils again
finally much mahalo to the advertiser for providing the many years of distinguished community service. you have provided the 808 with many fond memories. so to all the employee mahalo again and you will be missed.
I agree with pride.’s comment that a Pac-16 could make recruiting for UH even more difficult than it is now. A Pac-16 TV network could make every Pac-10 football, basketball, baseball, softball, soccer, etc. game available in HD in Hawaii and everywhere else in the country. The Big 10 found that boosted their recruiting in every sport in addition to bringing in millions that upgraded all facilities.
If Pac-16 schools could tell recruits in Hawaii that their parents would be able to watch all of their games in HD against teams like USC, UCLA, Stanford, Cal, Texas, Oklahoma, etc., that would be hard for UH to recruit against. That isn’t even considering how the Pac-16 would be getting $10 million to $20 million more than they get now.
opp forgot to add my thanks to those who attended the kk. you made the night fun funny and funniest. good to be with you’all enjoying the tsaiko 5 “f”.
thanks to d1 and mrs for seeing me safely home 😀
That USD team that the Bows beat twice in three days was ranked #15 in the last Baseball America poll.
The revenue gap between the Pac-10 and WAC is already well known here, but it is disturbing for me to read about the *huge* revenue gap between WAC and MWC schools. We talk about how the bottom of the WAC needs to improve, but that is hard when schools like NMSU *cut* $3 million from their Athletic budget while schools on the bottom of the MWC like SDSU add $9 million in student fees over 5 years.
The WAC’s annual meeting will be held on Monday and Tuesday in Vegas. Both BSU’s President and AD will be there…but will they still be there on Tuesday if they accept the MWC’s invitation on Monday as expected?
Mahalo for last night guys and Mahalo for this blog ST… Even though I have been MIA I have always consider this my other family…
Nevada’s AD expects BSU to be invited to the MWC.
Utah State’s AD talks about the urgency of this situation.
Nevada’s AD says that the WAC and MWC cannot be pro-active…isn’t the MWC inviting BSU an example of being pro-active?
Utah State’s AD would love for the WAC and MWC to merge. I didn’t realize that Utah State’s AD played basketball for Fresno State.
I don’t know if I would hope for the WAC and MWC to merge if I was Utah State…they are likely to be left out of that type of merger.
Idaho’s coach correctly says that money is driving most of this realignment talk.
Tenn. player sliding in at home plate. M. Smith: “Beautiful slide, but I’d rather see her making herself ….” She doesn’t know how to comment on the players actions without making it a criticism. Hope she’s never a coach!
to ALL of the Tsaiko Ohana,
for those that made it to the KK last night, mahalo for your BD wishes, and I am sore from those “…boots walking all over me…” 🙂
so good to see everyone, 5F’s in all it’s glory…….
just a BIG MAHALO for all of the memories, God Bless and God Speed to one and all…………..see you on the other side…………….
Re: No. 52
Troll, if you don’t have a paper and are reading online, look under the section called Other Sports. There you’ll find 20-plus stories of memories from the sports staff, including Ferd’s trip to Japan to witness Akebono becoming the first foreigner to earn the rank of yokozuna and ST’s recollections on getting slapped upside the head by Riley Wallace … funny, poignant stuff. And stop the digs at Ferd. This is not the day, time or place for that.
Thank you ST and the Honolulu Advertiser. I remember one of my first jobs was being a paperboy and how difficult it was getting up so early in the morning. Looking back it made me think about how a couple of those times my dad was there to help me load newspapers in his car to deliver those papers on my route. I wasn’t very good as a deliverer but it helped me to be industrious. Thank you for the memories over the years Adveriser!
Just back from a beautiful day at the beach supporting my grand daughter and her crew for a day of paddling. Hope the three amigo’s made it home safe last night, I left around mid-night, (J)J was almost down for the count, Koakane was in full swing along with Homey. As I sat in the back an watched, I have to say we have a diverse group in this Ohana and they all can put a smile on your face. I would also like to put in my thanks to ST and the Advertiser for bring this group of family together, amazing.
Guy in the office,
I really enjoyed all of the articles that you referred to, it was great to read the memories from the sports staff. The article that Ferd wrote there is *exactly* the type of article that troll criticized Ferd for not writing…the fact is that Ferd did have that article published in today’s Advertiser in the appropriate section and troll just missed it and rushed to attack Ferd once again.
Ferd had *2* articles in the Advertiser today and troll apparently missed one and criticized one of Ferd’s articles without noticing that the second article existed.
Slugger I received an email from Nanci Coolen an she thought it would be a great idea if as many fans that could meet the team at the airport on their return, she said that the girls would really appreciate it, so I am asking all of the Tsaikos that can possibly make it down there to meet them please do. She also said she would give me the flight info when she got it, so I will pass it on as soon as I get it.
ST & Tsaiko Blog Dogs,
Mahalo for the KKall last night. It was fun. I ate too much, drank too much, and sang too much. Still it was too much fun. Looking forward to the next bash in August as a precursor to the FB season.
Thanks to the HA staff for maintaining this blog. Hopefully, SA will do the same tomorrow. Thanks to the Tsaiko Blog Dogs for being so “lame”!!?? What a cool group!
Advertiser Rocks the Bows/Warriors coverage!
Great article ST….BTW, where’s that mullet?

troll I have to agree with the other on this his column todays is what sports is all about, sportsmanship and his report was on that because that what he is a sports reporter an he was doing his job to the last column written.

Do you think Carson, Sullivan or Hope devoted their last shows about outside entities, or was it more like a compilation of memories, acknowledgments and nostalgia that were innate to them and their audience?
A newscaster signing off for the last time would be remiss if he failed to say a few words of gratitude. Right?
Likewise with any sports columnists. He or they could have contoured his/their last column any way he/ they wanted to. .. Why then choose the story about the umpire is incompressible, especially when you consider there’s a flood of that story in the media as it.
To me, his last column should have been more personable, maybe a reflection on his 36 years, and nostalgic. Not about some story that’s been told a thousand times. And one that certainly doesn’t fit a columnists last column. You would also think, as a columnists, you’d want to go out on a bang. Ferd didn’t IMO. Cataluna, on the other hand, did.
Personally, though, I don’t care what you think.
hoe come Michelle Smythe (not smith) don’t sound too happy that Arizona too the lead? oh well. thas da way she is.
#374 i’m not making fun of michelle. hoe=how
UCLA, a just above average home run hitting team, has, I believe, 22 home runs in the NCAA tournament (i could be wrong, but that’s what i thought the announcers said). That’s almost1/4th of their season total, against superior pitching too. What happened? Did they shave their bats? Or did they change their bats?
PAC10 VS PAC 10 in softball finals. both teams beat Na Wahine to get there. 5-2 Arizona.
What, no SEC in WCWS?
ST – raise the flag/banner high – we’ll be following you!
Hi Everybody!
Didn’t get to lurk until now. Expended a lot of energy reading the final edition of our beloved Honolulu Advertiser. Wiped away tears as I read emotional final articles by so many talented columnists/writers/editors/photo journalists.
Best wishes to ALL…to those who have been fortunate enough to be retained for employment with the Star Advertiser…also to those not retained. Best of luck to you as you pursue new ventures. Heartfelt mahalo and aloha for your hard work and devotion to putting out an outstanding newspaper over the years that has entertained and enlightened all of us. Imua!
Michelle Smythe must be disappointed, but WTH they don’t play real softball like she did.
I’m up to SteveM’s invitation to reach 1000+ posts today. Happy to contribute to that mission.
Ray Allen just set the NBA record for 3-point shots made in an NBA finals game: 8. He had 7 in the first half on 7-8 shooting from the 3-pt line.
Last evening’s KK was its usual best…so fun but LOUD! Trying to carry on a conversation above the noise level takes a whole lot of effort and is taxing on the vocal cords. Woke up this morning with symptoms of laryngitis. Mr. A-House is not complaining about my subdued conversations in a low and slow whisper…hmmmm. Was so worth it, though. Attacked the food line three times. At the end of the evening, another 50 people could have been fed easily. Mahalo for all the divine culinary contributions.
PapaJoe2 – Mahalo for signing “my book”. It was a distinct pleasure to meet you.
Hi Mrs. A-House!
13 wakes ups to go.
email just received from Nanci Coolen:
Hello pomai, we are on a charter bus at the moment riding through some beautiful oklahoma hills. Some of the girls (7 of them) have returned to their hometowns for the summer, but the other 13 players, 4 coaches, and 2 staff members, and a few others, are here and coming home tomorrow. We are driving to Tulsa right now on the bus, then spending the night in Tulsa and flying in on 3 different flights tomorrow (Monday) afternoon. We understand the media and perhaps a few fans may greet us so we are meeting up in the upper airport area as we all arrive and will come down to baggage together – as this team does everything – together. Kara – the SID has told the media to expect us around 3:00-3:30 pm near baggage claim
G or H– 2 are on continental and one group is on American. Again, we thank you for all of your support – we are so proud to represent Hawaii. Thank you Pomai, and if I can be of any more help, please let me know. Aloha, Nanci
Mr. & Mrs. Colomaohana –
Conversing/laughing with you two was probably the main cause of my laryngitis. You two would make an awesome vaudeville comedy act. You both, along with Kekoa and Mrs. Kekoa probably came the farthest, and I want you to know how much I appreciate the time and effort the four of you took to join us on this special evening.
Mrs. A-House,
thank you for keeping me in order last night with the collection of karaoke dues. it was good to see all of you again!
AH C’MON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I CAN’T MAKE IT TO SEE SOME OF THE TEAM BACK TOMORROW.
DANG WORK… 😆
Mahalo, and Aloha to all the Advertiser and Star-Bulletin employees.
I was once a part time employee for HNA, decades ago.
Pomai –
May I add my words to your earlier post in encouraging as many Tsaikos as possible to turn out at the airport to greet and finally be able to embrace this very, very special group of young ladies who represented our state and each and every one of their fans with courage, determination, and classy good sportsmanship. As Mr. A-House posted earlier, you have taken us on the ride of a lifetime to exciting new heights in College Women’s Softball. We’re hooked, as I’m sure so many, many others are also. Continued success to all the seniors, returning players, coaches and staff!!
Pomai, please also ask Mrs. Coolen how many of the team/coaches will be returning as a group. Mr. A-House and I would like to greet/welcome them home with a small token of our love and appreciation.
Chawan_cut –
Don’t mention it. I’m always willing to help any one of my numerous “best” friends. (Mr. C – don’t forget now…)
Looking at the articles in today’s on-line paper and noticed one of the pressmen pictured, Clarence Luna. We were in a graphics class together at LCC. It was his stated goal to work for the HA as a pressman. Glad to see he was successful!!!
Way to go Clarence!
Pomai –
Just read your post re the team’s arrival tomorrow. Mahalo!

Mahalo to all who have made this a successful sports blog; more fun to come when we see all on the other side!
And thanks to all again for a wonderful KKall last night!
Mrs. A-house… I’ll need to contact you for that herbal shop info 🙂 Slugger, I could drink your sangria for days!

I sure hope there are a lot of folks who show up tomorrow to welcome the Wahine home!
Wafan –
Hi Wafan! Looked for you at last evening’s KK. I don’t know why I thought you would be there. Wishful thinking, I guess. Is it in August that we may finally see you again? Looking forward to that…a whole lot!

The herbal shop I get stuff from is located in the Diamond Head side of Maunakea St between King St and Nam Fong – about mid-way – you need to walk between the 2 “outer” shops and the herbal shop is beyond that – can be seen from Maunakea St.
Mrs. A-House . . .
I wish! I get home in early July. Looking forward to a bunch of Tsai-ko get togethers and, hopefully, my first T-Gate in September. Whoo-hoo!!!
Al & Mrs. Al –
Can’t say enough about the best nishime I have ever had last evening. The enumerable ingredients that composed the dish were each so tasty and perfectly cooked…not too soft…not undercooked…just perfect. Al, when you walked into the room, Mr. A-House commented that that was a defining moment…the first time you had joined us at KK.
Thank you ST.
I’ve been contemplating how I’m going to write something to express what this softball season was like through my eyes.
And I decided not to say anything.
Sometimes, the best things, memories, and thoughts are best left to the people that value them the most.
Many people have said that the Wahine made Hawaii proud and they shouldn’t hang their heads. They DID make Hawaii proud and their best fans even “prouder” and they WON’T be hanging their heads.
To me I say the Wahine and Coach Coolen deserve to boast the phrase, “I told you so”.. They won’t though and that says more in itself.
Mrs. A-House . . .
Change the name.
BTW – Did I miss reading who won the autographed book? Oh well, I guess it wasn’t me. Best wishes to whoever the lucky winner is.
Wafan –
You are so sharp! I just corrected the name. But Mr. A-H also enjoyed the nishime, so the comments are appropriate (lucky for me). Also I guess neither Mr. or myself is the lucky winner. Oh well….
as bill cosby used to say, “growing up a a child…………”
lineups!
football lineups!
get your football lineups!!
yeah, that was me as a child. my first employer was the honolulu advertiser selling football lineup newspapers at the old honolulu stadium. 3 1/2 cents commission for every lineup newspaper we sold. on fridays, the lineups sold for 10 cents and on saturdays the smart buggahs at the advertiser incorporated the lineups with an early edition of the sunday paper and therefore charged 25 cents.
the commission remained the same. if you picked the right spot on a good game you could sell 50 papers a night that’s a buck seventy plus tips. normally the tips exceeded the payout. then the advertiser guys would pull us through a pass through window if you could fit so we could go watch the game later.
when I made the fifth grade I was able to work at my second job which was delivering the sunday advertiser. getting up at 4:30 am every sunday was chore in itself and our route was typically over a hundred homes. again the payout was below minimum wages of what was then 50 cents an hour, but, the generous folks who tipped well made it worth our while.
gonna miss the honolulu advertiser, no doubt.
Just logged in at the HA. I just wanted to be a part of the closing — long distance anyhow.
As one of our eminent Tsai-ko’s has said so many times in the past, so many memories in the past few years. And, yet, so many more to be made beginning tomorrow.
… posting this tidbit on Jessica Iwata …
” … HGEA Member is Proud Parent of UH Wahine Softball Player
Congratulations to the University of Hawaii Wahine Softball team! For the first time in school history, they’ve made it to the NCAA Women’s College World Series!
As they won the Series opener in Oklahoma City yesterday – after defeating No. 1-ranked Alabama in the Super Regional finals on Sunday – one particular HGEA member watched with pride. Joycelyn “Jolly” Iwata (Unit 3, Department of Health) of Lihue, Kauai, is
the mother of Jessica Iwata, who is the shortstop on the winning team.
Jolly is a steward, delegate and active HGEA member. According to Kauai Island Division Chief Gerald Ako,
Jessica has also been involved in many of HGEA’s activities since she was a “little girl,” including Relay for Life and Adopt-a-Highway events. … “
I wonder if the servers at the new SA will be able to handle the hits when we get rolling. Crashing it would be interesting since I do not think they get anywhere near the hits on their combined blogs.
Will Mr. Tsai have the “Power of the Button”? (You have to add your own echo effects.)
Sure hope they are ready. Because, ready or not, we are coming!!!
Da Punchbowl Kid #130: Howz it kind sir as I am here with you good folks for the FINAL time on this HA Warrior Beat !
All I can say to you GREAT folks is one word “Thank You” as it has been a BLAST posting with ALL of you on Hawaii athletics, reading your intelligent thoughts of your PASSION for Hawaii to “WIN” and the most important thing for me since coming on this blog is “COMMUNICATING” my fondness and LOVE to all of you as I left you good folks back in 1981 as a Graduate Rainbow Warrior and I have been able since that time to represent you WONDERFUL people with “HONOR”, “DIGNITY” and “RESPECT” representing the “PROFESSION” as a “PROUD” scholarship student athlete graduate from the University of Hawaii !
I wear ALOHA every day and am “VERY GRATEFUL” that I selected UH over a number of other Universities as their is “NO REGRETS” of wearing the green and white and playing in front of the GREATEST fans in the world in which ALL I ever wanted to do was to come back ONE day and GIVE BACK as you good folks have given me so much more with Mr. Stephen Tsai allowing me this blog to share my ALOHA to you as I am very grateful to his creation of the Warrior Beat !
51 years of age and still playing athletics at a high level as I wear my aloha shorts / warrior shirt to battle “EVERY DAY” and then when finish put on the professional look and service disadvantage youths as a quality professional male educator for the past 17 years !
Simply The Best, Better Then All The Rest !
Take care Tsaiko Nation as we will hopefully post again on the other side as I always remain “Rainbow Cliff” FOREVER !
Good night Tsaikos, see you on the other side.
I have this picture of me interviewing Magic Johnson. And — whoa — huge mullet.
That’s what happens when you mix sports and male menopause.
Nothing wrong. The top two seeds, Alabama and Michigan didn’t even make it to the WCWS. Last years champion, Washington got bumped earlier. At this level with superior pitching and hitting, anything can happen. Nothing wrong with the Wahine’s. Next year. Bookem Gibbo!
Bows trailing 7-4 with ASU coming up to bat in the bottom of the 8th.
Thanks, Mrs. A-house!
Final nytal on the HA blog.
See all of you tomorrow on at the SA. And, looking forward to more BrewArt!
Aloha and mahalo for all the fun here!!!
ASU scores again. Heading into the 9th. Bows now down 4-8.
Thanks for the memories! Warrior Beat Rocks!
Shhhhhh — it is getting more difficult to find a venue large enough to handle all the karaoke Tsingers and party goers. 🙁
But it did feel like a karaoke homecoming and reunion of sorts….and a fitting celebration for the Tsai-kos and Pink Side. Big mahalo to Stretch tor the setup arrangements.
Bows end a very good late season push with a loss to #1 Arizona State. 4-8.
Thank you, Mrs. A-House, but not my invitation– it was jm2375 and I think whitey might be involved . 😆
I just proposed the groundrule for determining the 900th, 1,000th, etc. posters in regards to SPAM that might get deleted (thereby altering the count later).

Congratulations, 808ike!
Mr. Tsai, I worked as a coach at Magic Johnson 1st Annual Basketball Camp at Azusa Pacific College back in the Summer of 1982.
An Awesome Camp with a lot of GREAT H.S. Players that played in it and stared later on at various colleges.
Took picture with MJ and have it today in full color with hair on my head !
ST ~
It means you’re grown up if your eyes tear up due to sadness or happiness…or when you snort milk through your nose… Seriously, I think that’s why we appreciate your articles. There’s a feeling of humanity that comes across in your writing, not just the play-by-play stats. A hui hou to the Advertiser staff.
Great job by the BaseBows!
Thanks to the Kane & Wahine for extending their seasons into June to help fill the appetites for UH junkies!
Is it August yet?
The end of the year is going to be very exciting…I believe!
… from ESPN …
Jun 68:19PM ETEmail Print Comments By Graham WatsonWe’re starting a new week in the countdown of the Top 25 non-AQ players heading into the 2010 season. For No. 21, we head to the WAC and one of the best receivers in the country.
No. 21: Greg Salas, WR, Hawaii
2009 numbers: Led the WAC in both receptions per game (8.15) and receiving yards per game (122.31) and ranked sixth and fourth nationally in those categories. He finished the year with 106 catches for 1,590 yards and eight touchdowns.
Making the case for Salas: Salas didn’t get as much pub as he should have after a stellar 2009 campaign and that’s probably because of Hawaii’s run-and-shoot offense, but Salas is one of the best receivers in the country and will have yet another chance to prove it as he’s the Warriors main offensive target in 2010. Salas had five games with 147 or more yards and just five games with fewer than 100 yards. He did have some trouble when opponents, such as Wisconsin, keyed in on him. The Badgers held Salas to a season-low 31 yards. But Salas has the speed and hands to make something happen every time he touches the ball. If he can get some consistent quarterbacking, he’ll be tough to stop.
Thanks Steven, one minute to go here.
There is a new WCWS video blog from Amanda Taualii on the UH athletics website. I think it’s new. The video is from last night, but I don’t remember seeing it there this morning.

A-House, sorry the lumpia that i brought didn’t have shrimp. i buy the lumpia from a lady and cook it myself so i really didn’t know. next time you can eat it. i like it but too bad it was not hot. better safe than sorry.
kazz, the softbows did their job and brought a lot of great memories to all of us. who knows, but sometime during this upcoming warrior season, we may end up doing something similar. thank you for letting us be part of the cheer squad. hoooraah!!!
papajoe,
the lumpia was ono, i had like 5 of them *shame*…lol
Good night Madam Slugger and Thank You for all that you do in honoring your Aloha State as reading ALL your post’s has been sheer “DELIGHT” !
Hopefully when ever I come back I would be “PROUD” to meet you and share warmth and appreciation.
Vaya Con Dios !
Stephen, Thank you for bringing this blog family together.
went by the Rainbowtique today and the clerk mentioned that the Hawaii WCWS t-shirts will be available on tuesday.
ST, thank you and all of the staff at HA for making this blog a most informational and fun one. I thorougly enjoyed being part of it and would like to send my best to all. Thank you very much.
ST-
Mahalo for the time you put in to let fans have a voice.
Mahalo for not asking me to define personal reasons.

I would have left much sooner but reading the blogs in the mornings left me thinking that your continued and unwavering support on the outside of the system deserved better from someone inside the system.

You and I have a score to settle in the interests of our Wahine Softball Letterwinners. Call me and we’ll figure out how to make Kazz’s number increase.
Congratulations to the basebows for getting into the regional finals.
Best wishes and safe travels to Mark Takai, as he departs for Indonesia for National Guard duty.
I’m at Sansei in Kihei blogging. Trying to hit 1,000 at least.
Not 500 yet. iwonderwhytheyhateme, have the same problem, hearing. Heard the one about this guy tell his friend,
“Bought a new set of hearing aids, top of the line and real expensive.”
Friend asks, “what kind is it?”
Guy looks at his watch and answers, “oh, about quarter to eleven.”
Go Warriors!
To the people at the HA…
A million thanks for everything…the website and this blog kept me from severe homesickness during my first few months in London and after that was my lifeline to the islands so that I never felt out of touch.
A sincere thanks again…You will all be missed and impossible to replace….
Congrats to the Basebows on getting to the Regional Finals. Losing to the #1 seeded team is nothing to be ashamed of.
duffer, how come you neva invite sum more people????
Hi Everyone!!! I’m late as usual…but never too late. Wunnerful to hear about the KK last nite. People just expect a Tsaiko event to be fun…and it always exceeds expectations!

Mahalo for the birthday wishes! And you are quite correct…the Lord has blessed me far beyond anything I could deserve! Even without a dollar in my bank account, I would still be the richest man in the world!
Study found that parents who have books in their home increase the level of education their children will attain. In fact, they found that having books in the home had a greater effect than the education level of the parents, the country the children were from, the father’s occupation, or even the political system of the country.
Study found a link between having a “beer belly” and an increased risk of Alzheimer’s disease. The study found that the more a person is overweight, the smaller their brain volume tends to become, and a reduced brain volume is linked with dementia and Alzheimer’s.
Study found that both men and women speak with a lower-pitched voice when they talked to people that are more physically attractive. They had expected to find that women would raise their voices to sound more feminine and attractive, but instead they found that the more attractive the person on the other side was, the lower the pitch of the voice became.
Voters in Iceland are upset with their politicians over their country’s financial collapse, so they elected one of their top comedians the mayor of their capital and his political party (Best Party) won a near-majority of city council seats. The Best Party’s political platform was to provide free towels in all city swimming pools, a polar bear for the zoo and cleaning up politics…and they won! The Best Party’s politicians are comics, ex-singers, a housewife and an architect.
Seattle’s new Mayor set up a website to ask residents for their ideas about what their city needs. The top vote getter was to expand their mass transit system and the next 2 most popular suggestions were to legalize pot (and tax it) and to create a nude beach.
Chihuahua (named Buttercup) was heartbroken when she gave birth to a puppy that died 4 hours after birth. When 9 orphaned kittens were brought in to the animal hospital where Buttercup hangs out, Buttercup feeds and cleans them as though they were her own puppies! So, that dog is now the adoptive owner of 9 kittens…I didn’t realize that kittens would drink from dogs.

Proposed rules by the Obama administration would allow airline passengers to cancel reservations within 24 hours of making them without penalty and collect up to $1,300 in compensation for being bumped from an overbooked flight! Consumer advocates are happy of course…the airlines feel quite differently about the proposed rules. The rule they seem to object to most is the fine for stranding passengers on airport tarmacs more than 3 hours.

As many as *3 million* Chinese babies are hidden from their parents every year in order to get around their country’s one-child policy. It is interesting that China recorded 23 million births in 1990, but in 2000 they had 26 million 10-year-olds! Considering how some kids die before they reach the age of 10, it is interesting how they had 3 million more 10-year-olds than all the children that were officially born.

Extensive study found that heavy cell phone users had a 40% higher risk of glioma (the brain cancer that killed Sen. Ted Kennedy) and twice the risk of developing tumors on the same side of their heads where they normally held their phones while talking. The cell phone industry actually helped pay for this study and spun the results by saying that normal cell phone use is safe. However, they do not mention that “heavy” cell phone use was considered 30 minutes per day of cell phone use during the study period (2000 to 2004).
Study found that eating processed meat (bacon, sausage or processed deli meats, etc.) was associated with 42% higher risk of heart disease and a 19% higher risk of type 2 diabetes. However, eating *unprocessed* red meat (beef, pork, lamb, etc.) did NOT increase the risk of heart disease or diabetes. So, the meat might not be the problem…it could be teh salt and nitrate preservatives in processed meats.
Study found that postpartum depression affects just as many new fathers as mothers, with about 10% of fathers and mothers affected. The study found that fathers with postpartum depression are less likely than women to get help, partly because men tend to avoid mental health care and partly because women see their OBs frequently during pregnancy and again 6 weeks after delivery while men may go years without seeing a doctor.

Amish are among America’s most successful entrepreneurs–95% of Amish businesses are still open 5 years after they started, where the average new US business has a five-year survival rate of 50%.
The latest year available for analysis shows that one-star municipal funds had an annual total return of 2.77%, compared with a *loss* of 0.98% among the five-star municipal funds…Morningstar’s director of mutual fund research says that it appears that the star ranking has *subtracted* value so far. Among all-stock funds, five-star funds performed basically the same as one-star funds.

2-year-old girl was fishing with a pink Barbie pole when she caught a little sunfish…and as she was reeling it in, a big muskie ate her sunfish and was caught in a net by her grandfather. The 30-inch, 20-pound fish was bigger than the toddler!

It is interesting that police dogs are trained by placing drugs inside toys and then playing fetch with them…the dogs then associate the smell of drugs with the toys. So, the dogs don’t think that they are looking for drugs…they think they are looking for toys! Police say that a dog can search a room in a minute where it would take a person 20 minutes to search by hand.
About 30% of Americans think they have food allergies when just 5% actually have food allergies! The problem is the unreliability of the skin test used to test for allergies. An MIT engineer came up with a new technology that could let doctors diagnose food allergies via a simple blood test that would be faster and more reliable than current tests.
SteveM – does Garret get the prize for 500?
It is a BAD sign for the future competitiveness of the US when professors notice that students have increasingly become less prepared for engineering over the years (note: I noticed this as an EE professor and I taught for less than a decade). Even worse, Washington State’s Universities only can supply less than half of the engineers needed by industry, with the supply problem only getting worse because the work force is about to have a BIG percentage retire in the next decade. Washington has 240 aeronautics students…Beihang Unversity in China has 26,000 aeronautical and astronautical engineering students!

Cow poop might end up powering the Internet’s data centers! Study found that US dairy cows produce 54 billion pounds of manure each year, with each cow pooping more than 120 pounds of manure each day. Each cow generates 26 gallons of methane, with methane 21x more damaging to the environment than carbon dioxide. Instead of bulldozing the poop into holding ponds (those who drive down the 5 freeway can smell the result of that), farmers can sell their manure to a specialized biogas plant, with biogas powering servers.

Five months *before* they started selling the 2002 Lexus ES, US engineers sent a test report to Toyota City in Japan about how it shifted gears so roughly that it was “not acceptable for production”! Toyota sold the Luxus anyway and sought to maximize profits by limiting the scope of repairs (NOT informing owners about the known problem, only providing fixes when a customer demanded them, even denying fixes to customers at first to see if they would give up). It is interesting to note that Toyota repeatedly tried to solve this sudden acceleration problem by modifying the car’s computer software, rolling out software updates to cars brought in for the sudden acceleration problem…and NOT telling Lexus owners about the software update that could possibly fix their car.
We celebrated a very special anniversary… 😀

Chinese man was stuck in river silt for 11 hours because he was too embarrassed to call for help. He had a cell phone with him but didn’t call anyone for help because he was worried about losing face! Fisherman spotted him after he was stuck for 4 hours, but it took firefighters 7 hours to pull him out because he was too embarrassed to take his pants off. The silt had gotten into his long pants and made it hard to pull him out, but even though the firefighters took off their pants to try to rescue him, he refused to take off his pants.
Here is the photo of the rescuers wearing only shorts trying to pull him fully clothed man out of the mud.
Julie Louis-Dreyfus is the first Seinfeld alum to get a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, but just 4 hours before the official ceremony a CNN producer was walking to work and noticed as he passed by that they had written “Luis” instead of “Louis” and had left off the hyphen! The workers were able to make a temporary fix before the ceremony.

Researchers have found that the earlier a child tells convincing lies, the more likely they are to have successful lives. Lying early is a sign of a fast developing brain and the more plausible the lie, the more quick witted they will be in later years and the better they will be able to think on their feet.

Genetic discoveries from a shrub called the burning bush could lead to healthier vegetable oil *and* a direct-use biofuel for many diesel engines that can fuel the tractors that harvest the crops for the new vegetable oil. Efficient tractor fuel and healthier vegetable oil with the same discovery…an interesting combination to me.
Sadly…. all of this will vanish into vapor very shortly…. 🙁 😥 😐
Navy-trained dolphins and sea lions demonstrated their superior skills in locating underwater mines and hostile divers–they detected mines and divers in murky waters and cuffed and restrained hostile divers while signaling for help from Navy divers.

Facebook’s new mobile site will provide quick and data-charge-free access via special deals with at least 50 mobile carriers in 45 countries and regions. No data charges for people to use Facebook!
Facebook was found to have 2.6 billion page impressions from mobile devices in the last study, nearly 3x as much as Google and more than 1/3 of ALL page impressions. Nearly *half* of the total minutes online in December were spent on Facebook Mobile! Facebook is the most widely used application on mobile data networks, with users connecting on average once ever hour.
The worldwide elimination of smallpox might have helped to spread HIV infection! The smallpox vaccine offered protection against HIV, but once people stopped getting the vaccine HIV began its spread. The smallpox vaccine appeared to cut HIV replication five-fold and researchers believe vaccination may offer protection against HIV by producing long-term alterations in the immune system, especially since both smallpox and HIV exploit the same receptor on the surface of white blood cells.

Some states have more parking spaces than cars, where parking lots lead to hotter cities, less ground water and less healthy streams. Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and Wisconsin have nearly 3 parking spaces for every car, using almost 5% of urban land for parking even when you do not count street parking and parking structures.

Back to the close – I’ve really enjoyed reading the newsroom memories by the various staffers- some of whom are staying & others who are leaving. These pieces are not the same as news stories and columns dealing with current stories.
Canadian woman is suing her cellphone company for $600k because her cellphone bill exposed her affair and led to the breakdown of her marriage. Didn’t her *affair* lead to the breakdown of her marriage?
4.5 *trillion* cigarette butts find their way into the environment each year and are so toxic that they can kill fish. Chinese researchers found a way to use extracts from cigarette butts to protect steel pipes from rusting. China is the world’s largest smoking nation (300 million smokers) and it consumes 1/3 of the world’s cigarettes, with 60% of China’s men smoking an average of 15 cigarettes per day.
Security researchers demonstrated how modern cars are vulnerable to hacking–they showed how they could hack into the control systems of a family car and disable the breaks and even turn off the engine while the vehicle was moving.
NY animal shelter is asking for Via.gra (which was originally developed as a heart medication) donations to treat a pit bull with a heart condition–the dog needs 2 Via.gra pills every day or she will risk heart failure. One woman donated her husband’s entire supply because she suspected he was having an affair.
Study in the US and Canada found that on average 2-year-olds watched just under 9 hours of TV per week and 4-year-olds watched just under 15 hours per week. Every hour beyond the average that toddlers watched made them, by 4th grade, 7% less engaged in class, 6% worse at math, and 10% more likely to be bullied. They also snacked more, exercised less, and higher ratios of body fat. Forget about how bad exceeding the average is, I’m really disturbed at hour high those averages are!
Study found that as little as 5 minutes of “green” exercise (activity in the presence of nature) improves both self-esteem and mood to people of all ages.
These sisters in the UK love roller coasters and enjoyed their first ride on what is billed as the world’s steepest roller coaster. Unfortunately, their second ride on the roller coaster did NOT go as well…they were stuck 50 feet in the air *upside down* for 20 minutes!
This church has a pet service (for owners to bring their dogs) on the 3rd Sunday of every month, complete for the humans who wish to partake and special blessings bestowed on pets and people alike. Dogs get treats during the service.
Someone left a cardboard box outside of a Florida church and the bomb squad detonated it when they couldn’t figure out what was inside…it turned out to be more than $2,500 in cash that was being donated to the church.

Free play links pau. I doubt that I’ll be doing the free play links in the Star-Advertiser, so free play links are *really* pau.
Thanks for all your artwork brew!
Knowing this blog and ST will continue beyond this particular server and onto the Star Advertiser, it makes it hard for me say a “goodbye” or a “thank you”.
Over the past few months, since the news was announced, I think we’ve all expressed our feelings as to what this blog community that Stephen Tsai created has meant to all of us.
Through it we’ve learned the human side of UH athletics, from the players, to the administration, the coaches, training staff, and everyone in between, if that’s possible.
The key to this blog, the Warrior Beat Show, the blog parties and gatherings (t-gates) is INTERACTION. Through this blog, I personally, have been “closer” to UH personel and athletes than I could have ever imagined. In essence, it has made a fan’s experience that much better.
My FAVORITE moment that came to fruition through this blog was the process that was the fundraising for the 2007 WAC bracelets for the Wahine softball team. It truly was a team effort.
Had ST not mentioned that the booster club wasn’t as well funded as football, the Wahine that season would have left UH without something nice to remember that accomplishment by. Then the brainstorming began between various bloggers, with Pomai ultimately taking the lead with the help of A-House, Stretch, A-Joe, and the endless list of donors that are too much to mention.
When the night came, on October 10th, 2008 to attend the Wahine volleyball match to witness the softball program getting their recognition for the previous season’s accomplishments, it was amazing.
They were on the court and we all were giving a standing ovation in our seats in the upper level. The team spotted us and waved and that was cool in itself. As the match resumed after intermission I spotted the softball team making their way up to our section and I remember turning to Jason and said “oh crap… they’re coming up here”… We were not expecting that at all.
In short, it was a humbling experience. To see and shake hands with the student athletes that represented UH and Hawaii on a national stage and to hear them express their gratitude was equivalent to someone “seeing the light”. In recent memory, I have never felt more of a sense of purpose in that I was a part of something that was worthwhile doing.
From that moment I quietly told myself I’d support this program to it’s maximum emotionally and financially (without going broke 😆 ).
I know it’s just a game, but I saw the bigger picture that night and it’s not. Not to me at least and I honestly believe that my life has been more “useful” since that event and… this blog started it all.
On this blog, outsiders can become “insiders” and can have a positive effect on the student athletes we cheer on from our seats.
In my perspective, this blog is embarking on a new chapter with new management, but with the same faces, and hopefully new ones. In the same time, for me, I find it almost fitting that this new journey of the Warrior Beat Blog will begin as we look to support the very same program that started this sense of accomplishment and “duty” as the Wahine softball team wraps up it’s most successful season in the history of the program.
More things will be accomplished, friendships will continue to strengthen, and more friendships will be made.
The idea of the blog was always the same, we’re all UH fans. Football, basketball, volleyball, baseball, softball, it’s all the same to those of us that “see the light”. The names may change, or may not, the purpose and the heart behind it will never go away.
Many have come here, or at least a TINY handful claiming to be “many” trying to embarass or bring people down claiming we cannot see anything outside our “rose colored glasses”, but we’ve carried on, not caring what others think and not caring what others that are all talk think.
We here proceed with intent, purpose, and fan unity and anyone that wants to join along for a few laughs and to talk UH sports is more than welcome.

Well, between the free play links, brew’s amazing art work, and several other people contributing, we got the post count up by over 100 in a short time. I’ve got to go offline now, but hopefully the post count will go even higher before the plug is pulled.
Aloha ST- thanks for all that you do for us. Also, mahalos for the bday shoutout.

For those who want to read those types of free play links and some other stuff, I archive them to: http://linkcollectionarchive.blogspot.com/
In reorganizing my things today, I still have that signed postcard from Coach Coolen, Coach Wisneski, and then-assistant coach Kristi Yoshizawa.
It’s one of the FEW items I felt like keeping that were autographed from UH athletics.
I don’t seek out autographs much. It’s not my thing. The monetary value is not an issue, the meaning behind it means more. Only my signed Colt Brennan helmet, my volleyballs signed by Coach Shoji and the 2009 team, and this postcard from the softball coaches are things that I want to keep around for the stories and memories behind them.
No prize for 500 — that was commonly reached daily in the old days of the blog…that’s why I didn’t start tracking milestone numbers until 900. 🙂
BTW, are you offering some prize for the 1,203rd poster? Bread pudding, maybe? 🙄

almost forgot about this. keed sent me this – made by one of the UH cheerleaders. What college students do in their spare time.

SteveM – #596 – maaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyybbbbbbbeeeeeeeee
Thanks Garret! And thanks Brew! You guys give the WB character like no other.
Pomai,
I just watched the UH Athletic site’s video on “Traveling with the Bows at the WCWS” and you’re right! That lady who looks like Ku’ulei is Kanani’s Mom! So the picture I have from 2008 could be Kanani’s Mom, too.
bummer…no UH sports for a few months and hunch is telling me that football season could be brutal
JM,
You don’t know what college students do in their spare time??? 😯
Well… nevermind, family blog yeah?
There was soooooooo much fuuuud last night, enough to feed 3x as many as those who showed up.
Oooo, in the Maryknoll graduating class, there’s a 6’7″ guy who I was told was going to play for UH as an outside hitter. Hope so!
A functional robotic butterfly!!! Won’t be long before they’ll become surveillance devices..or maybe a bird in the sky. Sorry, that old military reflex kicks in from time to time.
Reminds me…PB…hope all is well with you and your family.
Bread pudding pan was taken off the counter around 8:15. Thought it was gone. When I got it down to take the pan home, there was one piece left. Wonder if anyone was hiding that last piece. A-joe? He claimed innocence.
It would be a nice gesture if the HA didn’t wipe the slate clean come 12 am.
They could lock out, close the door, to incoming posts. And reporting the news. But why not let the readers, and public, savor some extra time in reading the posts and the last articles.
An additional day, or two, wouldn’t be a hardship, would it?
An extension of goodwill people remember.
US-made cigarettes are more carcinogenic than those made in other countries.
Troll – if you decide to change your handle on the other side, please let us know. You not a troll.
I’m reposting Pomai’s post. Unfortunately, I cannot make, so let’s get as much people out there to welcome back our Rainbow Wahine.
WELCOME THE RAINBOW WAHINE SOFTBALL TEAM BACK!!!
ARRIVAL TIME APPROX 3-3:30 PM HONOLULU INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
BAGGAGE CLAIM G OR H
THREE GROUPS OF PLAYERS. 2 GROUPS ON A CONTINENTAL FLIGHT AND ONE GROUP ON AN AMERICAN FLIGHT.
***Not all players will be there, as some players returned home for the summer.***
One day I will meet brew in person….
Seems like many have already said their goodbyes. But, I’d really like the story on the blog’s infancy. Could ask one of the original Tsaikos at the next cc, but I’m sure there are many more out there who are interested too.
Gotta get some homework done, but I’ll check back in around 10.
And, ST, despite the onerous times and painful emotions right now, many, many thanks come your way for the clubhouse you’ve built. Mahalo!
Thanks too, for all the HA folks who worked like a great team to stamp the name Honolulu Advertiser in Hawaii’s history. May that other door open for all of you…soon.

Troll – if you decide to change your handle on the other side, please let us know. You not a troll.
wow, im lost for words,. that was very complimentary for you to say that
currently im registered as roysan16 on the SB site so thats the one I’ll be using.
In this morning’s paper, they listed the HS Hall of Honor members. One of them is Daniel Mafua (1987). Is that Dani’s dad?
Can’t forget…congrats 808ike!!! You deserved to win that book…
one day i might actually see a picture of brew….
How do you that you haven’t already? brew808 is real invisible when not traveling with guys in sunglasses and black suits… 😐
Didn’t wanna miss this day to post. Thank you, ST, for bringing us all together. It’s been a wonderful ride.
Let me add one more to the count.
other Tsai-kos I have not yet met IRL: most of the Mainland/International Tsai-kos (except wafan & Ronnie), the Maui Tsai-kos – whitey & duffer, madeinhawaii, Jack Flash.
#622, yes that is Dani’s dad. on look at both of them and you could tell immediately.
SteveM – brew needs a Tsai-ko name tag. 😀
Garret,
One of your off topic stories led to this one about a self-contained unit that produces Oxygen, Hydrogen fuel cells, and 20K gallon of fresh water daily … I can see something like this on our Islands to deal with drought.

#629 on=one.
papajoe – I wasn’t living in Hawaii in ’87, so I missed all of that. Nice to meet you last night.
Kazz or anyone, is there a fundraiser for the wahine softballers? glad to be part of it…
Slugger– yup! He’s going to be given a chance to try and walk on. =)
jm2375– brew is one handsome braddah in person. Pictures no do him justice.
we already have fake butterflies that can fly. they’re disguised as little planes. they call them drones.
The next time there’s a potluck, why not consider calling Second harest to come pick up the leftovers. They will deliver the food to homeless shelters, senior programs, child care facilities, etc.
DrDoc and I are preparing a summer barbecue – probably hamburgers & beef ribs from Whole Foods with all the fixings- on Satirday. June 19, for the Family Promise program. If you’d like to come spend an hour or so talking story plus shooting some hoops and playing games with kids, mark your calendars now. Will post additional information in the next universe.
jmxxx, what was in ’87? nah, it was definitely my pleasure to meet you and all of the other Tsaikos. i had a good time.
papajoe2,
Your lumpia was AWESOME!!!!!!!!
Hi A-joe!
BG — you would have to ask one of the original Tsai-kos at Blog party 1 and read the blog posts on both ST’s and Cat’s blog the following day.
I have this documented in my Tsai-ko Scrapbook (the first pix) at:
http://homepage.mac.com/smurashi/photos/scrapbook.html
Note the Link to Cat’s blog for Blog Party 2 still works. The Tsai-kos raiding her blog the following morning set the tone for the future, I think.
Learn how to type or at least spell-check, Dumbolino!!!! It’s Second Harvest
Which of the gals from the pink side brought all those cupcakes? Yummm.
climbing mountains is hard work, but if you work at climbing the smaller ones first, the next one may not be as hard. On the horizon is mountain 700 which appears to be climable, so one step at a time.
Here’s the link to the First Blog party at Cat’s place…
http://blogs.honoluluadvertiser.com/index.php?blog=5&title=title_102&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1
Note that these are supposed to all disappear tomorrow.
jm- that would be Eileen
Will I be allowed to bring something other than bread pudding for future events?
and voila, just like that 700 appears to be closer, but not as steep.
last post for me on THE original WB.
mahalo all and good night.
see you soon.
One toast, and cheers, for Colt Brennan and the 2007 Warrior team.
It was all because of you guys that I joined a sport’s blog in following the magical season.
For my other half it was the happiest days of her life to see me happy at the end of a Warrior win…and to see me posting.
Some of my post I wrote she laughed so hard. I miss her laugh.
As I will this blog. But I hope that the new one will be a continuation.
SteveM – is that (J)J with short hair? OMG!
taking time to smell the flowers and reminicing about the past years on ST’s blog is truly priceless.
TYaiea,
Please tune into the Star-Advertiser’s version of this blog. Currently, we need to hear the word from Coach Coolen on what needs to be done for the WAC bracelets this season.
Also, we contacted Coach Coolen about a Wahine banquet or something to celebrate this season. Will have to be in the fall as some of the players have dispersed for the summer.
As far as an actual fundraising event, we can look into starting something anually for the Wahine with Koa Anuenue.
For now, I encourage ANYONE to go to www. koaanuenue.org to donate any amount they wish via online transaction on a one time or monthly basis. I do this on a monthly basis and it’s safe and easy.
OR
Mail a check to:
UH FOUNDATION
PO BOX 11270
HONOLULU, HI 96828
MAKE CHECK PAYABLE TO: “UH FOUNDATION”
***IN THE MEMO LINE YOU MUST WRITE DOWN:
WAHINE SOFTBALL ACCOUNT***
(All donations are 100% tax deductable and the funds donated to the softball account are for Coach Coolen’s use for whatever his program needs.)
Thank you ST. Been lurking off and on for 3 or 4 years, you guys been great. will miss the best newspaper in hawaii
Hey, whitey — need your mountain climbing expertise here. Only 3 hours left!
Congratulations 808ike!
to all the new and old friends i met thru this blog, thank you for letting me share a part of your life.
Congratulations BaseBows!
Nice run at season’s end….
roysan16/troll,
This blog is housed on the Gannett/HA server, I’m pretty sure. So, when the Star-Advertiser takes over, they do not have the use of the Gannett assets. Therefore, it’ll be gone….’Auwe!
Been lurking for a while now trying to keep up with Garret’s postings! 🙂
kazz, the “bonus” will be in the mail this week and send to address as noted. was fun, wasn’t it????
HNL — thanks for posting tonight.
jmxxxx,
If Brew808 is part of the black suit/sunglasses group, he probably wouldn’t want to wear a badge Id’ing himself.
Wow…Just got done with work. I thought we would be close to the 1000th mark by now. Anyhow, I will do my part
Chili pepper tears?
Zoinks!
#666?
It’s getting slower to post. As I type, I can’t see what I’ve typed for 10 secs. or more. We might cause the server to freeze…
SteveM, what happened the last time?
These past years always wanted to post, never did. I just had to tonight. That said good night.
yup. d1’s the devil! hehehehe. j/k d1.
Where are all the old school bloggers? I would think they would want to be a part of this one last time.
…perhaps if The Former Coach would contemplate returning and resigning again in the next hour or so it would help drive the comment count higher and faster?
SteveM, the past mountains we climbed together brings back many memories, but what stands out is how the tsaikos moved forward without complaining, but complimenting each other with each step.
HNL – please stick around and help us break the record.
The hotel internet is somewhat slow.
Good evening jm2375!
d1, your morning wakeup will be out of order till i figure how the new blog works. hahahahhaaa
d1 – musta been some real strong chili peppers – maybe habaneros?
Good evening SteveM!
kazz,
I’ve tossed it around with you. There’s no denying. But I do see the picture you’re painting. It’s very good and very commendable. And I just wanted to personally express my gratitude for all that your doing for UH athletics.
Good evening d1!
Hi BleedGreen! Are on Liz’s island?
Some of them are busy tending to their farms now. 🙄
Good evening troll!
Hey brew – need your satellites to locate BigHilo. He hasn’t been seen for a while.
jm2375–
Was on aunty Liz last night. Am in Kona tonight.
Mahalo Kazz, will send couple bucks (that’s gambler’s code) in the mail. I really enjoy your posts…a real fan!
Howzit BG808!
Dey musta eaten all the chikkens in Keaau. 😀
Good evening whitey!
Who else is out there?
Good evening HNL!
Good evening Slugger!
BG808 – just of out of curiosity, how long did it take you to get from Kauai to Kona? It once took my cousin 6 hours to get from Maui to the Big Island, had to go through HNL.
whitey,
no problem tomorrow…will be up bright and early to secure a parking pass anyway….
….not to mention checking out Da New Blog!
Just when I said “the internet is slow” it somehow got faster. Perhaps this is a sign to break the record.
earlier i posted about the Na Wahine underclassmen. since i have an early golf t-time tomorrow and have to cut my blogging short, i would now like to address the senior class of the University of Hawaii Na Wahine Softball team. Seniors, you led you team, state, and yes, even most of the United States softball fans on a journey that simply was remarkable. As you go out into the world you will find many ups and downs. not everything in life will be as rewarding as being a member of this team. you must remember that you are a champion. you worked very hard to achieve what you did. nobody gave you anything. take those lessons with you wherever you go and you will be a champion in your life, your families’ life, your neighbors lives and lives of the people of this world. if things are not looking up, think about all the adversity that you overcame, one step at a time. whether lifting weights, running, taking fielding practice, batting practice or whatever, you are a champion! you earned it by working hard and studying too. go out into this world and become a champion in life. you gave the softball world thrills and most of us are still on a “high.” congratulations on all your accomplishments and accomplishments to come for YOU ARE A WAC CHAMPION, REGIONAL CHAMPION, SUPER REGIONAL CHAMPION, AND A COLLEGE WORLD SERIES PARTICIPANT!! ALOHA AND MAHALO NUI LOA for taking us on a ride that just will not stop. Good luck in you future endeavors, champions!!!
W-Doc,
I’d rather take some leftover potluck food to the people in the park. They don’t go to food kitchens, none in this area that I know of. these are local kine folks who no mo home. Second Harvest takes food to the Food Bank and they usually take harvested produce, unless HI does something different.
jm2375,
There’s a “darkside” tour every Thursday………..
jmxxxx,
Methinks the Blog Host woulda been “reacting” to bell peppers these past coupla days!
don’t want to be a party pooper, but will be calling it a night. got marketing class early in the morning. Thank you all and good night.
100 posts in the last hour…..
jm2375–
One and half hour.
BleedGreen808
oh good evening to you too. in case you are wondering, no i didn’t take any crash courses with dale carnegie school. Look forward into seeing you on the other side.
G’night whitey!
Howzit duffer!
….looking forward to this weekend!
shouldn’t take 6 hours to go between islands unless some sort of delay. Was that the schedule your cousin had?
Hi, BleedGreen808,
I like Shanghai, too. Been thru there twice. Been to the museum twice.
But my fave city in China is Hangzhou by West Lake. Pretty laid back.
Good night whitey!
I will see you on the other side, troll.
I think taking our leftover tailgate food to the people in the Old Stadium Park is pretty ironic. They are sleeping where we used to watch football, and baseball.
d1,
Yep me and the kid too! Gotta settle on a time. Will be in touch with whitey.
Eh, Stephen,
Just got back from the Hall of Honor dinner; we missed you… again. It’s such a great event. To see the kinds of student-athletes our state produces each year makes you feel certain our future’s in good hands. Gib was entertaining and charismatic; it’s no wonder he won over the selection committee. He did say he was “not invited” to the banquet his senior year at Punahou. Funny.
Well, best of luck tomorrow on Day 1; carry on The Advertiser name.
Garret,
I’m glad you gave us the link to your posts. I don’t have time to read all of the ones you put up tonight.
i got to call it night. it’s been a nice run. To the ones we leave behind I pay my respects. good night.
Slugger,
Visited the the museum in Shanghai also. It is indeed an artwork. What’s funny was that there were high school students roaming around asking Americans to take a survey of their english papers. Did I mention that I was flagged almost half of the time. If they only knew that I am an average or below average writer. 😆
BG808 – I don’t remember. It was several years ago. Cousin is from Honokaa side and was working at Seabury Hall at the time. I do remember that he had to come through Honolulu.
Trivia………….
The St Louis Cardinals are Coach Wallace’s favorite MLB team. Go figure!
Hi BleedGreen808.
jm2375 — brew808 has a Tsai-ko name tag…and a Tsai-ko black polo…and a Tsai-ko stein…and a Tsai-ko coffee cup. Probably a bunch of other stuff too…and deservedly so. 🙂 He is the Bay Area Tsai-ko Chapter President.
Second Harvest takes non-perishables to the Food Bank, but party leftovers and food that cannot be sold the second day at restaurants are picked up and delivered to a wide range of non-profits – not just homeless shelters.
There are several churches which regularly serve meals to the homeless in various parks – I work with two of the congregations here in Windward O`ahu. The Second Harvest donations such as desserts and salads have made a major difference in our being able to serve decent main dishes rather than just bean-y starch-y casseroles.
That’s why when we cook for the Family Promise program eight times a year we offer the same type of food that we would serve guests in our home.
Still a lot of comments needed…
Slugger–
Also, we almost went to Hangzhou but we didn’t want to spend our last day touring. We did go to Suzhou (water village) and we were on a boat and I had yelled to the other boats “hello, my fellow americans” and they yelled back and said “we are europeans” oooopppsss. btw, they gave the stink eye also.
we can make it. just got to get a hold of Ralph. i gotta go pretty soon too.
Off to watch tv – where do we congregate tomorrow?
BG808,
Wo shi mei guo ren. Wo bu shuo jung wen.
papajoe2,
Let’s not forget that they are as a team… National home run record holders…
jm2375–
It would be shocking for someone to take 6 hours to travel inter-island nowadays unless it is planned or some sort of mechanical problems. There are flights that go direct between islands now.
where’s rasu begasu? we are in severe need of some of his jokes.
To all you farmers – take a break and chat here!
I miss LTUHF!!!!
Good evening Tsaikoland!
Thank you for the great time at the KK last night! It felt like a reunion and I guess I really missed everyone more than I thought I did.
Papajoe2 – it was very nice meeting you. Hope we see you at future T-(e)vents. [the e is silent]. Lumpia was da bomb. I hope the few extra that I ate didn’t deprive anyone.
Esme – somehow I still didn’t get to meet your husband at the KK.
Mrs. Breadpudding – at 7:00 your dessert was half gone. That in itself is an indication. And I think someone is not fessing up. I’m pretty sure A-joe did not take the last piece. Bwahahaha. Btw….no worries, brew already has a name tag.
Change is inevitable. The Tsaiko bond that developed and the memories that we share to today was something that I never expected to come of that first meeting of bloggers. I’ve really enjoyed the moments that we’ve had here.
I’ve also grown up with the Advertiser as my dad has been subscribing since I could remember. I had a subscription in college. And today I picked up my last paper from the mailbox.
ST – I love your chili pepper moments story. Thank you for that and much more.
Don’t forget, Jim Donovan will be on SH forum between 10 and 11 am for Q&As tomorrow… if you got questions regarding the Softball or Baseball post season tributes.. that might be a good time as any to ask.
papajoe2,
I think you should copy & paste your address to the seniors on the softball team and email the comments to Coach Bob. Everything here will disappear, except for what SteveM has saved. I’m sure the Coach will share your sentiment w/ the team.
Slugger–
Do you speak chinese? I am thinking of learning via Rosetta Stone. I took 2 years of high school japanese and 2 years of college japanese but my schooling somewhat failed me in japan as I couldn’t remember most of my japanese vocabulary. I can still read hiragana and katakana fairly well, though.
So, who’s going to be the 900th poster tonight?
They will join Jason, Stretch, and 99club for that distinction.
BTW, congratulations to 808ike!
I was just looking for a way to get to Sam Boyd Stadium for the ’07 UNLV game and came upon a few strangers posting comments on the beat writer’s blog…
Who would have known that what would develop is life-changing friendships and memories with people here and afar?
Mahalo to you Stephen for what you have created here. No one knows what tomorrow brings whether it’s the new site address of the new blog, or who will end up there but one thing is for certain; all the special people who have been attracted to this wonderful community will still be around and I am glad to be associated with all of them.
After all, we are….
Tsaikos!
d1 is the 700th!
i getting tired already. was up trying early this morning to get this thing going. was posting silly stuff just to take up space. now my computer getting tired too.
so what is the new blog address for tomorrow?
Ah, memories of the first blog party. I forgot I brought those prizes, including the “game ball” for Stephen.
sorry i couldn’t post most of the day. I sat for 3 hours waiting for my car to be serviced and then went out for most of the afternoon and my phone was not cooperating….
papajoe2–
“You can do it!”
Maybe gigi will drop by……………..
BTW, Addahknowsports was at the First Blog Party with her hubby. She is was not captured in any of the photos Cat posted. 🙂
Or Koa Mahu
A-Joe plays golf left handed…………
Stretch………..well, he plays the game! 🙂
APB out for BHF2. Reward for anyone with information.
papajoe2 & jmxxxx,

Just got home.
Jason!! Missed you last night. How was your trip?

Surprise # is this high.
BG808, i looked into Rosetta Stone awhile ago. it was expensive. i forget but i know it was more tha $500. If you donate the money to the softbows bracelet fund i can teach you. this is what i know. 2 oooda crispy kau gee mein with veg-i-tabow.
Congrats ike!
Ralph and the late night posters will get us to the M+ milestone. Ralph will want to be first to see how the new site looks and operates.
LTUHF and Lorna were the first Tsaikos I met on Maui, followed by al and the boss, Stretch, LizK, PP, Sleaze, G-Nalu. A-Joe. Then Rob25 and her gang, Midori, UHFan808, c_c, The Princess………..
Geez, am I lucky or what!
Excuse the personal note, Tsaikos. SteveM, did you attend Kawananakoa long, long ago?
I am here to join the party.
#753 – 😆
Oh forgot had a mini cc with sjmacro and myki, bulla and the beast with the bomber her self.
This weekend, it’ll be with d1 and the Mrs.
Is Jason on? Doesn’t he have papers to grade?
Oh and I got the watch a game with Nalani and Kaipo.
kama – nice to finally meet you last night.
Jason,
Be a cool teacher, give all your students an A.

papajoe2–
#753
lol
ike – Jason’s on vacation, at least for a while. He might have his own summer school class to take though.
Everyone help jmxxxx accomplish her goal.
duffer: I didn’t get email from library for me to pick up the Moe Keale CD yet. Might have to send mp3 later.
New record in posts.
I would like to add to all the thank yous going around. I thank ST for all he had done with this blog and I thank you for giving us T-saiko’s a place to be ourselves, a bunch of crazy U.H. fans. I thank all the peeps out there who have made this site what it is today and I thank the people I call friends for making this the best online sports site around. Mahalo to all and see you guys on the other side.
Hi Jason ❗
Aloha Noh to the HA and it’s Warrior Beat!!!
Same her jm2375.
sjmacro
Not a problem, I’ve waited a while for that, I can wait a few more weeks.
kama krab: good evening 😀
papajoe2–
I know a few chinese words and one of them is sumdumbguy. haha
Speaking of which, there is a blogger that goes by the name sumtinwong. Maybe he can help also.
Got to sit near kama krab at the last Hawaii Bowl, the one with ND.
where’s liz?
Speaking of the KKall,
I was very happy to see everyone again last night. It was a blast as usual and it was nice to see that everyone was very happy with the special guest I brought along with me. I figure there were some people that kind of knew who I was bringing but it was just good to see the old peeps again. I hope that I am able to see everybody again in August.
Not to mention the numerous Tsaikos I met at the t-gate, blog party at the SSC, and the Beast’s graduation party at Ala Moana.
jmxxxx,
Congrats?
LOve KKall?
Love to cook?
For the last 10 years, the Honolulu Advertiser website was the first thing I would see when I opened my internet browser. The Advertiser website was the first place that I turned to for news from home no matter where in the world I was stationed. I’m going to miss the Advertiser and need to find a new browser homepage in a couple of hours.
Thank you Stephen Tsai……………..
Who’s hand I shook after he came out of the men’s restroom!
Ugly?
Thought we would have had WarriorMojo make a showing last night 😕
What’s up, Tsaikos! That was a GREAT get-together last night – even the impromptu dancing. 🙂 Thank you, ST and Esme, for bringing it all together. And thank you, ST…for without you, we wouldn’t have this circle of friends: the Tsaikos. It’s been great.
As a youngster, I aspired to be a newspaper journalist, and tried to emulate the fine work by the professionals at The Honolulu Advertiser. Thank you to everyone who contributed to the history of journalism in Hawaii.
f we get cut off of this blog when we not finished, or i i going hiamoe,i want to thank the Tsaikos for welcoming me to the “family.’ i always loved sports. i remember after i graduated form high school, we went to Aiea Gym to watch some former college players from UH and abroad in some kind summer league game. wow, big beef. the local team had some professional football players. we had good seats for the action, but was scared because bodies was flying all over the place. this fight made the news both on TV and the papers. rematch had extra secruity and real plenty people but nothing happened. if something like this happened in this day and age, garrens the blog would be in the millions.
808ike at a t-gate with his Kalbi ribs special
Handsome? Not!!!!
Congrats to 808ike! Enjoy the book.
ike – you won the book!
Pardon my manners sjmacro,
A good evening to you and the rest of the good people here in the hale.
papajoe2–
When the time comes, I will certainly give what I can.
Love t-gate?
papajoe2, you and I can go “marketing” one day with Stretch and PP.
Calling bighilofan2 the true

😀
In regards to the HA,
Long live The Honolulu Advertiser and long live The Warrior Beat.
Don’t know what the congrats is for?
200 more
PP – as a youngster? you still a youngster! enjoy the post-its!
Mahalo ST and staff.
I thought you wanted to be a professional golfer………..
Can’t read!!!
Oh, jm2375 – thank you sooooo much for re-gifting your door prize from ST. I LOVE it. I can’t wait to use it in the office tomorrow. 🙂
duffer,,,,what’s happening?!?! 🙂 Went “marketing” yesterday…was doing really well, but just *choked* on the 18th. Had been playing very well until the 18th…blah! Oh well, that’s golf. 🙂
kama krab–
Good evening! By any chance, did your mom teach music at LCC.
808ike and his kalbi ribs – yummmm.
Took me half an hour to find this web site.
Guy in the office:
June 6th, 2010 at 9:47 pm
Excuse the personal note, Tsaikos. SteveM, did you attend Kawananakoa long, long ago? Guy in the office — yes, but only for 1/2 year back in 1964. I went to McKinley after that.
Congrats to 808ike for being the 800th post winner.
a-joe – the bread pudding was half-gone by 7:00 cuz of you and GRMJ (and possibly Dr. Ralph)!!
PP
I got two freebies for you and whoever at either Wailea courses. I’ll text or email later…..
808ike–
Today is your lucky day. You won the autographed book and now you are the 800th post winner.

Back to help set new record in posting.
d1–
On your website, there’s a picture of Kimo Tuyay. Are you related to him?
Hope I’m spelling words correctly.
papajoe2 is back in the game. auryte!
ike808
I’d probably wait till morning though, before sending a text to ST.
from the SB site
BG808 – Basebows pau for da season. Only 1 athlete still out there sporting the kapa logo for the school year – Amber Kaufman at the NCAA Championships. After that, nada till late August. I hate this time of year.
I am falling asleep watching the news….have to go to bed. See you guys tomorrow morning if the new server is up.
808ike–
No need worry about spelling or etc….just keep typing away. We worry about that on the other side.
i was rereading some post and mines stay all jam up, my fingers moving faster than my brain. letters stay mixeded up.
I’m one lucky buggah to have meet all the TSAIKOS I’ve met.
So close…
duffer – ST is a night owl. Early mornings are tough for him. Ask sj & myki how many times ST has made it on time for football practice at 7am.
Another Hawaii team ended their season by the Arizonian, again? Boy, they are starting to get under my skin.
Duffer #778,
I was nice to sit amongst such great U.H. fans that day called the T-saiko’s. It was actually the first time I had actually watch a football game with a section full of T-saiko’s. Even though we did not come up with the win, the time spent with you guy’s was a great experience.
Where’s al?
I have to dig up video clip of Momo and A-House trying out the exercise bike at the Tgate before football game
ike – text him whenevers. it’s not a phone call.
Closing in on the 900 plateau.
Next stop is 1,000 — with Diesel, d1島, JGM, and myself. I’ll offer a small prize for the 1,000th poster tonight: one free lunch at the next Camellia Cattle Call.
Big golf match tomorrow, Coach against the kid. The kid got coerced into giving 17 strokes. Gotta be a NCAA violation in there somewhere…………..
g’nite Tsaikos gettting sleepy, will check in the am to see how far it went..
How you guys tying sooooooooooooooooo fast????????????????
BG808,
brother of #1 son’s gf
duffer, my club get t-time at Navy Marine tomorrow. haha:) I probably going get cramps in my hand so no can golf good. (i already get excuse)
jm2375
I was just about to text ST with MY address. 🙂
8nn
BleedGreen808 #807,
Yes my mom is a music teacher at LCC. She is an ukulele teacher for the school. Her name is Dreena Kane. Do you know her?
d1–
Thanks!
papajoe2
Played golf with John Kalinka when I was a kid at Navy Marine.
Night Slugger, see you tomorrow, maybe we can find out the name of the lady with the long hair 🙂
duffer……..good luck! Yeah, where is al? al, thank you so much for sharing your beverages with me last night. Loved them…thank you. 🙂
85n
It take me 1 min. to type 1 word sober or not so sober!
the sangria is more like a winey punch today. Maybe that’s why I’m falling asleep…
I may have to call it a night. Hopefully I was a little bit of a help.
duffer – #848 – try it. see what he says. 😆
You know what, I going keep on goin until we reach 900 at least.
Hope you figured………
my computer freezing, moving slow. i think the coyote finally caught the road runner.
Eh where everybody stay.
I found the Warrior Beat blog while deployed to the Middle East in 2006. Initially, it was a way just to keep up with the Warrior football team. Soon, I was addicted. I would check for updates on the blog whenever I could get an internet connection. I couldn’t wait to see what ST was going to write about next. Over the years I have posted very infrequently, but have read the blog almost daily. Here’s hoping the new blog is similar in format and voice to this one. Thank you again ST.
Nite kama!
I’m not reading……….
It’s going to be hard to get past the record in the next hour and a half. Need almost 350 more posts.
I won’t be here to watch the Boise St. game w/ youse guys…going to be on the mainland.
Wonder how SteveM is doing saving these posts?
Come on people, no more time for sleep. We get one record to break.
anyone’s post or
Whatup gang! Whoosh!
(I had to get in at least one last post before the midnight clock turns the coach into a pumpkin …)
;D
tv showing clips of Kurt Suzuki getting hit in the throat. ouch.
I thot we’re supposed to exceed 1,200 posts to break the record.
who is posting
jm2375
I just did……….
🙂
I thought I knew you from somewhere. I saw your photo on SteveM’s website and you looked familiar. I was once a student of hers when I attended LCC. If my memory serves me correct, you played the bass while the whole class played “stuck on you” by Lionel Richie. I still remember how to play the song till this day.
I don’t know if you remember me but we met once and I showed you my ukulele which I built myself from scrap woods in high school.
Hope she’s doing ok. Tell her one of her old student said “hi”.
Matt #867,
Can brah, can. Just gotta give everybody Red Bull.
Post 1000!
And I got to meet Esme too!
And, in case it hasn’t been clear …
LOVE YOU, ST! Thank you for leading this wacko online ohana.
OK, there, I said it.
Damn chili peppers.

Hi, Esme! “I Will Survive” is a song for you right now.
Just saw Avis something something 808ike

You guys trow me off. I gotta finish my farewell on the Pink Side. I wish I could linger here.
But you know where to find me.
I dunno how welcome I’ll be to post on the new blog. I might have to go by a screen name. But I am pretty sure the longtime Tsaikos will know me by a new screen name I’ve been considering …
… whoosh … !
When is the NCAA championships for Amber?
omit the something something
whooo hoooo – 888! Oh shucks, I’m not pake.
Oh, and two last places to find me, you guys:

People referred to the Honolulu Star Bulletin as “The Bulletin”.
People referred to the Honolulu Advertiser as “The Advertiser.

Yeah…where is LizKauai and Al tonight? Hope Al’s heart is OK after last night and being able to sit with PowderPuff under the big screen. 😐
Who gave chili peppers to the Rainbow softball team on their last press conference? That was one emotional press conference. Thanks ladies for the ride. Have enjoyed very much.
808ike,
You won the Wooden book. You going to give it to RainbowCliff? Text ST.

Oh and can’t forget Kekoa and the Mrs……………..
Only 300 posts to go

808ike: it’s called “sandbagging” — aka copy and paste. 💡
Yeah, we broke 900!
Slugger, I sang “I Will Survive” last night because I promised Auntie LizKauai. But also for the mamas. The song was appropro, I thot.
OK, you guys, gotta go for real. But will catch you somehow on the other side! ….!
Come on everyone….sleep is overrated! 🙂
Oh, before the “marketing” yesterday, got to meet Johnny White and Benjy Taylor! They were playing in the group in front. That was exciting – maybe that’s why I played well through 17.
Just over 100 posts, go,go,go
thanks ST! See ya at the new house…. 8)
Oh, yay, on my last night on this blog, I got to be #900. Nice. 😀

Less than 300 to go…Koakane would say “if can can if no can still can”
Esme: i’ll get the pic of you, the moms and Koakane out in email. All the best to you
BURN BABY BURN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LET’S BRING DIS SUCKA DOWN TO IT’S KNEES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PBS on right now: Carole King & James Taylor…that’s the music of my time.
BleedGreen808 #876,
Yah that was probably me. Ho what a small world. I can’t say I remember to much people from back then, even though was only a couple years ago. Was that song performed at a performance in front of the cafeteria or at the restaurant.
Well anyway, mom is doing good and still teaching. She’s actually in Vegas right now enjoying herself with one of my Aunties.
Do you still live on Oahu cause if you do why don’t you stop by the school and say hi and maybe join one of our Saturday classes.
Matt – #890 – Wednesday.
I’ll be there….you’ve got a friend…
wow koakane in the house. Good fun last night.. some of the pictures came out 😀
The record is 1202 posts. We have a little ways to go.
I’m back.
saying again a great time last night. mahalo’s to all that made it. heard the fuuud was good. nice chat with everyone from the pink side that I could get to.
I also am pondering the initiation into the mrs bulla’s group. Yeager was good but the patrons shots made me see double after a while 😯
Thanks for the info jm2375.

Come on lets broke this bugga
9nn
kama krab–
The class performed it in class and was too chicken to do it on stage. Still am till this day. Haven’t played in years. But maybe one of these days, I will drop by. And yes, I am back in the islands again. Hopefully, this time, for good.
Hi folks! No more grading papers for me, that was all done by our last day, 05/27. And I had a great time on my vacation, lots of walking but lots of good food. I’ll have to post pictures online soon.
Summer session II at HPU does start this week, I’ll have classes on Wednesday nights. 🙁
go kama go. go kama go.
the last 100 posts in about 40 minutes…picking up steam!
going
whoa almost there
Thinking
jm2375,
to Koakane, liquid refreshment’s are called solid food. To Koakane, liquid refreshment’s are part of the food groups. j/k
In Safari, once a page is fully loaded, you may Save as a “web archive” or “page source”.
The web archive downloads the photos too (and the pestiferous ads). The page source will only link to the photos…no work if the server is down/gone. There are 3rd party programs to do the same thing. Note chawan_cut suggested saving or “printing” to .pdf format. Haven’t tried that yet.
Jason,
Did you get together with rasu?
Jason – but your days will be free…
nice seeing kama and wreck with his lovely lady. hope she didn’t thing we were a bunch of rowdy’s.
nice talking with al, bg808, kazz about dem wahines and sball.
eh mr Ahouse da mrs was gabbing esme hubby arm’s in da back. told her to cut it out but she neva listen bwhaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Saw this on Liz’s blog…talking about Aaron Habermann. We learn more about Liz and her extraordinary-ness all the time!
He’s been making ceramics for 17 years and recently branched into the paintings. His prices range from $150 to $650 for pottery works and $650 to $5,000 for paintings.
Born on Kaua’i in 1970 and a graduate of Waimea High, Habermann was a star swimmer with the KIF whose breaststroke record still stands 22 years later. He lived “all over the island” growing up with his parents – artist Glenn Habermann, who now lives in Oregon, and Liz Hahn, who used to run the Gallery at Waiohai.
myki wondering where I am ❓ 😀
Jason – no forget next week Wednesday.
Also met jojo and her husband and daughter at Camelia’s
Thinking out loud…Shouldn’t ST be the one to break the record? Again, just thinking out loud.
1203 would be the new record….
Is that the goal?
Thanks SteveM for the links to the Tsaiko history…pics brought back wonderful memories.
the pace is slowing……
250 to go.
Great everyone posting ! liners………………………..
d1 – 1203 is the goal.
BleedGreen808 #933,
Ah that’s o.k. Hopefully one day soon you can feel the vibe again and pick up that uke. When you do get that feeling, you know where to find us especially if plan on staying in the island’s this time around. Would be nice to have a jam session with you and some other T-saiko’s when time permits.
Have to confess that I used to question why myki was a lurker way back when.
Wow– Congrats to Esme for being commenter 900! Now, who am I buying lunch for…? 😕
Any offers for the 1,100th or 1,200th prize?
sjmacro,
See you guys at the airport at 3 pm.
Well, good night you moonlight lady…
jm# was going try your bread pudding but by the time I got to the pan it dissipated. some one said it happened from the door to the back. bwhaaaaaa
😉
bg808 – #949 – ST could post his new entry on the odda side here and then turn out the light…
except Koakane.
He’s posting novels.
Roysan 16/Troll
You have a permanent invitation to attend any Tsaiko get-together. Would sincerely like to meet you. You can ask PapaJoe and BG808 how they took that step.
Rock-a-bye sweet baby Jane…

kk – when a-joe is around, it’s you snooze, you lose…
kama krab–
I have to confess, I am not even remotely close to being a below average ukulele player. lol
I have always wanted to learn the bass or drums ever since I was a kid. Just never got around to it. Hopefully when I get older, I will.

Thanks to all the posters here who have enriched my life so abundantly these last few years.

Stupid errors.

Yeah, they don’t bite at all. Once again, it was nice to have met some of the tsaikos that day. I do apologize for not conversing with everyone. Hey, there will be next time to get to know one another face to face.

Maybe they getting ready to shut da darn thing off?
I going be one zombie tomorrow at work but who the heck cares. Anything for the T-SAIKO’S.
Thought I’d show up for the night shift. Good thing it’s only 2:08 a.m. here on the west coast.
Going out the way I came in.
I emailed Coolen thanking the wahine for an exciting season and he replied that he would pass it on to the ladies.
It’s like a rental car that you paid for the extra insurance on.
sorry, i cannot handle, i’m down and out. ALOHA HA. i knew you well.
bg missed you and betty last night my best to her and belated hippo birdie two ewe
SteveM. Think we were classmates at Kawananakoa; I went to Roosevelt.
I’ll step aside and let the Tsaikos crash the server!

Big Mahalos to Sailor Blue for his determined efforts to get us reservations for the 2010 season t-gates

Koakane

BG – the twins were both there last night. Nice to see Julie.
Okay, since we’re being nostalgic: Banana Nut Crunch! My Grandma used to buy it for me, it was my favorite growing up.

Wait…record broken already?

I actually didn’t buy any Krispy Kreme donuts. And they weren’t offering any free ones for National Doughnut Day. 🙁
koakane, flour, water, eggs…go make.
BG — sure do! I got my farm… and my restaurant…
We’re making like Cinderalla now…when the clock strikes 12?

OK staying up for 1300………..
When in San Diego County…go to Peterson’s Donut Corner in Escondido. Blueberry donuts, winner.
I’m getting hungry with all of this talk about saimin.

Ahhhh, there a few Tsai-ko t-gate regulars who have not had the chance to sample the bread pudding – Jason, Liz, WDoc (a-joe better watch it)…
Okay for real gotta call it a night or else not going be able for do anything at work tomorrow.
Apple donuts at Peterson’s are pretty good too.
People work on Mondays?
ST,
Forget the text, I’m calling now or at midnight.
SteveM
So that takes up the last hour you have left over each day?
[…] Clyde Mizumoto, Steve Kimura, Paul Carvalho, Kyle Sakamoto and Bart Asato were always there to correct my mistakes, and, trust me, I’ve made a lot of mistakes, especially on deadline stories. In The Advertiser system, the sports copy editors also were …. And perhaps it had a lot to do, as I have learned later, that my father’s childhood days were also filled with being a newspaper boy, delivering in the St . Louis Heights area and at the old stadium. I remember that day . …This Blog […]
I did go to In-N-Out. Had to sit outside in 100° heat because the inside was completely occupied. Then had to stand outside in the same heat waiting for the bus. But it was worth it! 🙂
Sorry if it’s been mentioned before, but SteveM, you should give a prize to the LAST poster…you know like how ESPN 1420 has the prize to the last caller? Gonna make saimin now…………..
¡¡¡ʇɐǝq ɹoıɹɹɐʍ
I am out of words to say at this point
We can make it to 1500.
#1187 boiling water? what you making water soup? stop, you making me hungry.

IN-N-Out expanding to Texas.

Past my bedtime, need my beauty rest for tomorrow……….
Love you TSAIKOS!
Be SAFE!!!!!
🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂
ST…I hope you get a chance to check this out
To all the people still going,
Keep it going and make memories. Memories that will last forever.
So Friday afternoon, after baking in the sun, I started seeing people around Las Vegas that looked like friends and family, and that made me realize how much I missed home. And now posting here tonight, I realize how much I missed the (people on the) blog, too. I stopped by every so often, but the Wi-Fi at Circus Circus was terribly hit-or-miss, so I didn’t get to go online much. Sometimes it took 10 minutes to try and access a restaurant’s online menu, since the connection would disconnect and I’d have to try and re-connect over and over.
J,
If I’m in San Diego that day, I think so. I may be out of town.
Gud nite Duffer and Slugger
nuff with da saimin already
Beer & Sake Festival get pairings with some of the best restaurants in San Diego.
BG,
Up this late? This is the first.
I LOVE bread pudding – I like all desserts because they don’t have liver, squash or avocados in them. Ask me sometime to tell you the story about the special dinner made just for me.
Thanks stephen and the rest of the HA staff…it’s been a great ride.
Beer and Sake are always good.
God bless you all and much mahalos.
Beer, sake, and food=even better.
Jason
What was your life without the WB…and vice versa…
