Recognize these company logos?
January 24th, 2009 by ShaunaThe recession has been dominating headlines for a while now. Every day it seems another company is filing for bankruptcy, laying off workers or is taking a financial loss.
Here are some company logos ... or at least what they should look like considering the state of the economy.
-----
Got any new slogans companies could adopt considering the economic downturn?
Did you receive a lot of gift cards this past Christmas for any of the struggling retailers? Are you worried about not using them in time?

banana said:
are you talking douglas, noble or grand? (firs, i mean!)
*thinks banana is trying to throw us off by not saying "First" or, his favorite, "Fist."*
January 24th, 2009 at 1:50 am
those logos are quite timely... kinda sad, though. you don't know which company is going to go under on any given day or who might be losing their jobs.
that doll... yikes! however, she might be acceptable in hollyweird...
January 24th, 2009 at 1:51 am

January 24th, 2009 at 1:58 am
teejay - you're so sweet to offer to pay for the musketeers' burger and float outing with bamboo! i think, originally, the musketeers were just - as bamboo said "bussing his chops" - but we can see where this lunch talk goes! but, if we go to lunch, no need treat (me, anyway!)!
January 24th, 2009 at 2:01 am

January 24th, 2009 at 6:20 am
Good Morning!!!!!!!! Where's da morning crew?
"Da wife" wants to check out Chinatown today. I think I'll take her to the "nooks and crannies" where they spit openly on the sidewalk and blow their noses WITHOUT KLEENEX.
Heck, I should also take Queenie along. See how BOTH OF THEM react.
OL.......thinking EVIL so early in da morning
January 24th, 2009 at 6:41 am
This darn computer keeps FREEZING UP ON ME!!!!!!!!
AND.........the neighbor JUST SLAMMED HIS DOOR to go outside to get the newspaper! Any second now the "CLOSE DOOR SLAM" will occur.
And THERE it BEE. IDIOT!
OL......all irritated at da neighbor
January 24th, 2009 at 6:56 am
Good morning OL and da rest of da sleeping Hive!
Snow snuck in overnight before Anklebiters could play early-morning mischief! Snow=Goldilocks! Apparently she didn't run into any of the three bears: Opsobear, Bananabear, and Olbear. (Sorry - didn't mean to be overbearing.)
January 24th, 2009 at 6:57 am
Morning all!!!!!!!! Just got back from dropping off my son. Now I can watch "Wanted"!!!!!!! Oh, yeah baby.
January 24th, 2009 at 6:57 am
It's cooooolllllld up here this morning, so I made Cream of Wheat and vienna sausage for breakfast. Cream of Wheat always makes me think of sma' kid time because Mom would make it in the winter.
When I went to North Carolina for the first time, I was anxious to try grits. Turns out they're a lot like Cream of Wheat.
January 24th, 2009 at 7:01 am
Good Morning Morning Shift! The STUPID NEIGHBOR did another SLAM SESSION!!!!!!!! TWICE "SLAM/SLAM"...."SLAM/SLAM".
Boy I'd like to "SLAM" his butt.
OL....gotta go make coffee for everyone
January 24th, 2009 at 7:10 am
Apple did pretty good the last quarter so that logo is wrong for now.
OL: You need to do some night ops with some "liquid nails" and glue that guys door shut. The next morning he will wake up and walk briskly through the door only to slam his face into the screen.
January 24th, 2009 at 7:12 am
That's a thought King Teejay. HOW can one NOT KNOW that people are still sleeping when its DARK OUTSIDE????????
Perhaps I'm wrong and I should SLAM STUFF AROUND at 5-6 a.m. EVERY DAY.
OL...wondering if HE'S WRONG
January 24th, 2009 at 7:17 am
Good morning!!!
It's another early day for me!!!
BananaFysh: Yay, our fruity friend is alive, not caught in the snipers' crossfire and awake from his mid-day fainting!! And he got firs on his mind!
snow: Wow, you were busy about the mancave this morning!! Hope you got some good food and rest in!! Speaking of cornnuts, I just had a bag the other night also!! I had the chili picante flavor... What are the ODDS!
KAN: I used to LOVE cream of wheat when I was a kid. My mom said I used to eat it so often!! Do they even sell that anymore? It use to come in packets, right? Yum yum. Somehow grits never held that same appeal though they did look alike...
Ocean Lover: Chinatown, eh? Have fun!! I think I'll avoid the spitting and stray nose blows!! You poor thing about that idiotic neighbor. MayBEE if you slept in longer you would miss hearing the noise. I must say waking up at the crack of dawn for me is eerily silent. Don't hear a thing...though I can hear when my elderly neighbor opens her door for the paper. Don't know why everyone's front door is so loud! I can even hear her use the dead bolt...
teejay: Angelina day, baby!! Woo-hoo!! Have fun!
Hot chocolate coming up for everyone who doesn't want coffee!! Whip cream for all?
January 24th, 2009 at 7:19 am
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK! (OL FAINTS)
Is dat REALLY QUEENIE?
MORNING QUEENIE!!!!!!!!
OL.....still doesn't BEElieve dats Queenie
January 24th, 2009 at 7:20 am
Tell the guy he's slamming the door. Sometimes people of lesser intelligence need a booster shot of common sense. Next time he does that just be outside and say "Can you please not slam your door." Then wait for the reply and if doesn't reply and apologize then the war is on and it "liquid nails" time.
Oh....Thanks for the coffee.
January 24th, 2009 at 7:22 am
Good morning my queen. Wow Shauna, you do pop up at the least expected time.
January 24th, 2009 at 7:22 am
Oh Queenie IMPOSTOR.............
What color hair strand thingey did you put in your hair several weeks ago? And HOW LONG did you go without washing your hair?
What BEEg purchases did you make over the last month? (A large Starbucks doesn't count)
Trying to think of other INTERROGATION QUESTIONS to confirm if this Queenie IMPOSTOR is the REAL THING.
OL.......could it really BEE QUEENIE dis early.......AGAIN?
January 24th, 2009 at 7:25 am
YNAKU bradduh? Where you stay? Not sure if we have a Queenie Impostor over here.
Time to make breakfast.....crescent rolls, those lil smokie sausages, and scrambled eggs. Sounds good?
OL.......turned "chef"
January 24th, 2009 at 7:28 am
OL, just ask her what color showers she likes.
January 24th, 2009 at 7:31 am
I still have 10 minutes BEEfore I make breakfast.
"Da uddah day when you had the picture of you in your dream bedroom, wearing the "come hither look".....WHICH DIRECTIN were you facing?"
"What is the JESUS BOOK?"
If you can't answer ANY OF THE AFOREMENTIONED QUESTIONS........you're an IMPOSTOR!!!!!!
OL.......protecting the HIVE
January 24th, 2009 at 7:32 am
teejay: Good advice to Ocean Lover!! I second that!!
Ocean Lover: Red strands! (Was that what her picture showed?
) Big purchase? Not the Starbucks... iPhone... wait, no, i i i iMac!!! That's it!!
teejay: Shower colors? I BEElieve it was mentioned, though she, I mean I, didn't know what it meant... Golden showers!
Did I pass, did I pass?
Ocean Lover: Where's the fried rice for breakfast??
January 24th, 2009 at 7:35 am
Queenie IMPOSTOR.......you still didn't pass. Got some uddah questions that you didn't answer. (Hint....post #33)
I'm not COMPLETELY SATISFIED that you is you.
No fried rice this morning.......too much humbug and no moa rice.
OL......could it really BEE Queenie?
January 24th, 2009 at 7:50 am
I not the Queenie Impostor
I was taking my dogs out WITHOUT SLAMMING the door.
January 24th, 2009 at 7:51 am
Oh BTW, Good Morning to da morning crew.
Hey, who wen mess the cave? Stay all straighten up li'dat!
January 24th, 2009 at 7:52 am
Wow, our comment stay come up fast now. No need shoot in the darkj.
Teejay, you get extra ammo if I need?
January 24th, 2009 at 7:56 am
OL, ask Queenie Impostor what our best selling products are.
January 24th, 2009 at 7:58 am
If the REAL QUEENIE shows up...Good Morning to you. Have a nice day.
Hilo is a bit wet and cool.
Gotta go wake up the family, we gotta go some place this morning.
January 24th, 2009 at 7:59 am
Oh here's a test...
Provide the proper words in the blanks below
To ________ or not to __________, that is the question.
January 24th, 2009 at 7:59 am
Ynaku.....I DON'T EVEN KNOW what our best selling products are.
This QUEENIE IMPOSTOR still hasn't responded. Guess its really not Queenie.
We have to protect the HIVE and MAN CAVE.
OL.......playing "BOUNCER" dis a.m.
January 24th, 2009 at 8:05 am
Ynaku: How you doing and how's the daughter and grand-girl? Hope everybody is good to go and we still need a picture of Mauna Kea and the snow. teejay needs a Big Island fix.
January 24th, 2009 at 8:12 am
hey teejay, we good thanks. I need to get the camera from my son.
January 24th, 2009 at 8:14 am
OL, I think you chased her out.
Now will the REAL QUEENIE please approach the cave and recite all the Musketeers name in order of appearance yesterday since they ALL showed up.
January 24th, 2009 at 8:21 am
Ynaku and OL: I think she went back to sleep in her bed at the BIA showroom.
January 24th, 2009 at 8:32 am
King Teejay and Ynaku,
Looks like its just us 3.....not "QUEERS".
Shall we open the..........MAN CAVE?
OL......wreaking havoc for a bit
January 24th, 2009 at 8:40 am
OL: Do you really want to open the cave with the "possible" queen lurking around? I'm all for it but we'll need a countdown!!
On a side note, I feel real bad for the Brazilian model who had her hands and feet cut off due to septicemia (she died today) but would that story have been so big if she wasn't so pretty? I don't think so and it made me think of what our society regards as important.
ENOUGH SOCIAL COMMENTARY AND START THE COUNTDOWN!!!
January 24th, 2009 at 8:48 am
Mornin'.....lunch at a place called Chinese Gourmet...a buffet
January 24th, 2009 at 9:00 am
Hey King Teejay....I saw that story on CNN.

Minasan Ohayoo gozaimasu! Last night I had a sushi craving so we went to G's sushi at Market City. I had a somen salad, chawan mushi, california temaki, and salmon nigiri. It was alright but im looking forward to having some good sushi in Japan.
After dinner we had to return something at Ward so I suggested to M that we go have dessert at my latest find.....Menchies. I thought Yogurt land was the bomb until a co worker told me about Menchies at Ward warehouse. They yogurt is good and they have unreal toppings. Its lots of fun to make your own creation. I've been there three times in the last couple of weeks. I should do a review on the place......so i'll be making another trip there soon with my camera.
Looking forward to going to Chinatown tonight!
January 24th, 2009 at 11:05 am

Oh wait..... Teejay... I read yesterday's post #306.....THREE musketeers???? Did one of us (ME????) get booted from da group??? Or only 3 of us can be fed?? OH NO!!!! AFOOFA and den!!!!!! .....hehe...
January 24th, 2009 at 11:19 am
Okay, back from fainting.
@snow - I never mentioned "fist!"
Actually, I had typed out "Fi*st" but then I changed it. 
Speaking of "fist," I was watching the Soup last night, and they had a segment from Fox News, I think, and the talking head was saying how President Obama and his wife share all kinds of intimacies in public. She started to rattle of the forms of PDAs, like hugging, kissing, and fists.
I think she meant fist bumps. But that's not what she said. The Soup made big deal about it, and rightly so. That was friggin' hilarious!
*************
Went out to buy some plants this morning. My yard is quite bare. Gotta look for some kinda tree to plant in the back yard now.
January 24th, 2009 at 11:24 am
@HNL2LAS - WHAT? You like "fist"ing!?!?! OMG!
Hey, whatever floats your boat and all that! But still.
Wow. 
Hey, not here to judge you.
HAHA!!
January 24th, 2009 at 11:32 am
Hey, WTH is going on today? Was that really Shauna that posted at 7:17am?
OMG! Good job with the interrogations, OL. I think we may have an impostor on our hands too. 
So, "Shauna" (if that REALLY is your name), what was the
fistfirst thing that I wrote that you said made you "snort"?Take a trip in the WayBack machine for that one.
hehe. We're on to you, impostor!!
January 24th, 2009 at 11:37 am
Yeah! 69!
w00t!
January 24th, 2009 at 11:38 am
Ah, how nice to not have to snipe in the dark today!
It's the little things in life, yeah?
January 24th, 2009 at 11:41 am
@HNL2LAS - That's interesting about the fries. So it exists on Oahu as well - but I guess BEEcause it's out in Waianae most people don't know about it?
Most of the peeps from Oahu that I mentioned it to looked at me like I was crazy for wanting mustard and ketchup on my fries! I mean, most peeps look at me like I'm crazy anyways.
That's a whole other issue though. 
January 24th, 2009 at 11:45 am
Hehe, didn't notice at first, but the doll in the "Fail" pic is called "Glamour Queeny."
January 24th, 2009 at 11:51 am

January 24th, 2009 at 12:19 pm
Masako,
Chinatown wasn't "that bad". We got there around 9:30 a.m. and stayed till around 11:00 a.m. "Da boy" kept at it...."Can WE GO NOW?"
Da wife said we shoulda left him at home......I agree.
Just finished slicing up some shrimp and char siu look funn.....dip in shoyu....WINNAH! $1.10/piece at the Look Funn Factory on Kekaulike....next to the pissy smelling place.
OL....da boy got "Shaunatized"
January 24th, 2009 at 12:19 pm
HNL: I don't know who makes up the three musketeer. Plus, they had four so you are always welcome. teejay doesn't worry about who shows up or not unless they just show up to eat.
January 24th, 2009 at 12:21 pm
Hey King Teejay.........all "Jolie'ed" out?

Sorry gang, hat to split early this morning to meet a group. I was 5 minutes late
. Missed the road and had to turn around. Dang these non-connected roads.
I see the impostor didn't come around after the interrogation.
I see we have snipers here. Hey Masako, I hope they didn't hit anything vital. Maybee a wall or window.
Whoa, what's dat smell outside. ewwww I better go check.
Bee back laters.
January 24th, 2009 at 12:28 pm

January 24th, 2009 at 12:32 pm

Aw man, getting hingry - gonna go grab some fuud and go shopping.
BEE back laters!
January 24th, 2009 at 12:38 pm
So WHAT HAPPENED to the Queenie IMPOSTOR??????
It was "old fashioned" interrogation techinques that nabbed her/him.
Since he/she not around anymore "to play"......that PROVES it wasn't the real Queenie.
Either that......or Queenie HAS A LIFE.
OL........gotta go "holo holo" again
January 24th, 2009 at 12:59 pm
Good Afternoon.
I found dat stink smell. Wife cleaning oven. I gotta get out of the house.

Service tech told me gas jets probably clogged. So I going take it down to him $65 + parts cheap compare to $1000 for newer model.
Ynaku...............swear this blog just as bad as twitter (nothing wrong with that but I don't use it)
January 24th, 2009 at 1:04 pm
Actually, I used up all my gift cards from Christmas already. *sigh* Almost all of them were for Nordstrom or Ala Moana (which still ended up being put to use at Nordstrom). Retail is getting pretty scary these days... http://www.forbes.com/2009/01/20/retail-bankruptcy-economy-biz-commerce-cx_tvr_0120closings.html. Nordstrom hasn't really been in the news lately, but they didn't look too busy during Christmas.
January 24th, 2009 at 1:18 pm
Teejay:
Just the usual buffet stuff....not really impressed with the choices..... a 2 BEE Hive rating....
Next month's luncheon will be at a Mexican restaurant....I will bring my camera then.

PHOENIX – Just a case of plumb luck. It took a plumber to retrieve a woman's 7-carat diamond ring after city workers failed in efforts to flush the gem out of the pipes of a restaurant toilet.
The $78,000 engagement ring fell from Allison Berry's hand when she flushed the toilet in the restroom of the Black Bear Diner on Jan. 14. The ring plopped in and the water whisked it away, said Elena Castelar, the restaurant's shift manager.
City workers opened a pipe outside the restaurant and continuously flushed the toilet, hoping to push the ring out to the opening. When that didn't work, the city called the office in suburban Tempe of Mr. Rooter, a plumbing services franchise based in Waco, Texas.
"This is going to be like dredging for a treasure chest in the ocean," Mike Roberts, general manager of Mr. Rooter, said at the time.
Roberts guided a tiny video camera into the pipe with an infrared light attached. He eventually spotted the ring just 3 feet down and 5 feet over from where it was flushed.
Then it took an hour-and-a-half of jackhammering and pipe removal before Roberts and a technician could recover the ring, eight hours after it fell in the toilet.
"They always say diamonds are a girl's best friend. In this case, a plumber is a girl's best friend," Roberts said. "She was just so excited, she had tears in her eyes. She gave us a hug and said 'Thank you so much.'"
The Mr. Rooter bill came to $5,200 and the city's bill was $1,000.
Berry, of Eureka, Calif., and her fiance also tipped Roberts and the technician $400 each and gave $200 to a diner employee for staying late.

Ynaku:
Talk about having toooooo much $$$$$..what the heck were they doing in a restaurant that has take-out when the soon-to-be-wife has a $78K ring on her finger
That was an EXPENSIVE dinner for sure and something to tell their future kids about.
January 24th, 2009 at 2:38 pm
Good morning!! Oh wait a minute, I already said that at 7:17 a.m. this morning!!!
Like HNL2LAS, (sorry teejay), it's still morning until it hits 12 p.m. on the dot!! Another musketeer similarity!!
Ynaku: In regards to this: To ________ or not to __________, that is the question...
The answer is BEE BEE!!
Ocean Lover: "Shaunatized"?!?! Haha!! So your wife was OK?!?!
Kelli: Ironically I still got a Nordstrom and GGP card to use! What do you normally get at Nordstrom's?? And did you hear about those free cosmetics giveaway from some settlement? I think we missed that story...
January 24th, 2009 at 2:41 pm
Ynaku: Very interesting story on that lost ring. How many fast food restaurants actually would go through all that trouble if you did that?? The couple must have BEEn very insistent though I can see why. At least they tipped those guys.
On a related note, that's a huge and expensive ring!! Has anyone heard the saying/rumor/what have you that a guy is suppose to spend X percent/X months of his salary on the engagement ring? I've heard some people say three months and others six months... Anyone heard something similar?
January 24th, 2009 at 2:56 pm
I would spend the following on my salary:
$15,000,000 salary
$78,000 ring
ring = 5.2% of yearly salary or 0.43 months.
If I was a really nice husband to be, the ring would cost $3.75M
No pushing, shoving, or cutting in line honeyBEEs...I'm already taken
January 24th, 2009 at 3:10 pm
SHAUNA, IT'S YOU

speaking of BEEs... i had this golden bumbleBEE ugggggly looking bug on my car door! it wouldn't fly away, even when i poked it with a leaf! so, i got in the passenger side and drove off, hoping it would fly away. but... it didn't. i went to the store and when i came back out... it was dead on the ground! so ODD!!
January 24th, 2009 at 3:48 pm
bananafysh - you said "fist" yesterday... just didn't want my fellow musketeer HNL2LAS to forget to comment on that, in case she didn't see yesterday's post! ha ha!
HNL2LAS - eerrr... next time no need explain if you "want" fist or not. heh heh.
January 24th, 2009 at 3:52 pm
SNOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!
"I had this golden bumbleBEE ugggggly looking bug on my car door! it wouldn’t fly away, even when i poked it with a leaf!"
Think bout it with respect to "relative size", if someone poked you with a........TELEPHONE POLE. You too would have all your guts squooshed outta your body, some coming outta your mouth, nose, ears, and other orifices
. You SNOW.....are a KILLER! A "Killer Bee".
BEE afraid everyone.....we have a KILLER in our midst. You better bust out the JESUS BOOK and ask for forgiveness.
OL.........there's a KILLER in the HIVE
January 24th, 2009 at 3:54 pm
teejay - i have the "wanted" dvd if you haven't gotten enough of angelina yet and want to borrow! i liked that movie - i like her as those tough characters. i'm sure you like her in just about any kind of roll (or no roll at all???
) but, as i'm sure you've found out by now... the beginning is not exactly kid-friendly!
January 24th, 2009 at 3:59 pm
OOOOOOOOOOOOOL (that is sooo not the same!) - well, if someone poked me with a telephone pole, i would MOVE! lol... yes, dangit... i sure as heck wouldn't just sit there! besides, i just poked it with the tip of the leaf... like maybe i would have poked out an eyeball, not all its guts! ha ha!
*all this talk about poking...
*
January 24th, 2009 at 4:01 pm
HNL2LAS - i was waiting for you to show up (oops, sorry... that wasn't an intentional dig... ha ha!) so i was hanging out at the mancave for a while. didn't have "what not to wear" on though, so i kinda fell sleep! lol...
*fell asleep, but didn't drool*
January 24th, 2009 at 4:04 pm
SNOWWWWWWWWWWW! No boddah me. I'm watching LIFETIME MOVIE NETWORK. There's a story bout a teenager boy and girl who (ahem) were "poking" and she's pregnant......her dad's a doctor who hates this boy.....he's in some Honors program in school but BEEcause he's gonna BEE a father they looking at kicking him outta dat program.
NO BODDAH ME! Staying in touch with my "FEMININE SIDE" taking all my concentration.
OL......eyes glued to LMN
January 24th, 2009 at 4:05 pm
SNOWWWWWWWWWWWWW! Commercial now.
Your rebuttal didn't quite do it for me.
You're still a KILLER BEE!
OL........having a hard time to pardon SNOW
January 24th, 2009 at 4:10 pm
i can't BEElieve i missed out on chinese new years in china town. my friends were doing the lion dance there so i was pretty bummed. hopefully i get to see them at ala moana next week. uhmmm, if ala moana is still open!
the company logos are pretty funny but in a sad way. who knows when it'll all end.
snow: hey, i saw a dying bee on the ground here in san diego yesterday. i went to my niece's school to volunteer and after school her classmates pointed out that there was a bee on my shoe. it was dying and they wanted to *squash* it!!! but i made sure to tell them that it was unnecessary and that we shouldn't do those things cause it wasn't harming any one! awww, see, i'm nice to bees!
hey, darn it, i told QB i wasn't gonna post cause she doesn't respond anymore. man, even i can't stay away and BEE true to my boycott attempt!!!
January 24th, 2009 at 4:17 pm
i was thinking, for the "adidas" logo, even if it's based on a german name, they could have easily changed it to say "adios."
kelli is gonna kill me on this (but supposedly she doesn't read this, right?!?!? *ahem*) but i was thinking also, "going under armour."
January 24th, 2009 at 4:18 pm
Boy am I so sleepy from waking up BEEfore the BEES get up!!!
snow: You did a good job poking!!
Much better to let that BEE fly safely away (which apparently it didn't!) than sting you!! Still can't BEElieve it didn't move after all that poking and prodding!!
honda si boy: A BEE was sitting on top your shoe the whole time?? Now that's ODDER. And you can't stay away...not only cause you love us, but it's an ODDiction...
January 24th, 2009 at 4:19 pm
Hm, I think that was the real Shauna, cause she ignored my question, as usual.
hehe.
Hey! HSiB! Hope you're enjoying your vacation! How nice of you to stop in!
I stay all jealous, since you got to go Trader Joes.
January 24th, 2009 at 4:21 pm
Whoops! Queenie's still around!
Uhh, good afternoon Queenie!
January 24th, 2009 at 4:22 pm
I had chicken nachos for lunch, since Masako got me all ono for something cheesy. Never have chili cheese fries, so nachos had to fill that void.
And then I went out and got some major wood.
January 24th, 2009 at 4:24 pm
hsib - hmm... kinda weird how dying BEEs were attracted to us!?? so ODD! but, more funny that a BEE wanted to die on your shoe... ?!
*hoping not to see any more dying BEEs*

Ocean Lover: You need to make OL Jr. tougher!! No LMN movies though that does sound like an interesting plot.
Masako: Glad you got to eat some sushi...but as you said, it'll BEE much better when you go to Japan! And regarding Menchies, don't you remember Ocean Lover giving us the breaking news BEEfore the general public knew about it?
BananaFysh, HNL2LAS and Masako: Mmmm, fries!! Love curly fries and chili cheese fries. Don't like cheese much but I can eat it on the fries...
anklebiters: Thanks for the music cause if you haven't heard, I'm SO tired! And regarding that ring... I'm FIRST (not fist or firs) in line! Oh wait, you're taken!
January 24th, 2009 at 4:27 pm
hsib - that was so nice of you to volunteer at your niece's school during your vacation! she must have been excited to have uncle around!
enjoy the rest of your vacation! 
January 24th, 2009 at 4:27 pm
Is snow talking about poking?
First she talks about the "fist" action
and now "poking" talk? 
Oh my. I wonder where someone's mind is.
January 24th, 2009 at 4:28 pm
*not gonna bother OL 'cause his feminine side is scaring me*
January 24th, 2009 at 4:30 pm
@snow - yeah, I went to Home Depot, and I bought a bunch of wood for a project. Why, what did you think I was talking about?
January 24th, 2009 at 4:31 pm
Queenie...........no boddah me also! The boy is a 9th grader and he's working in a pizza place to help pay the 20% that the girl's parents medical policy doesn't cover. His pizza boss is making him work LATE....longer than the law allows.
I'm just SO INTO dis movie!!!!!
Gotta go........got a party also this evening.
BEEhave yourselves!
OL......so BEEzy this weekend
January 24th, 2009 at 4:35 pm
That story about the ring is crazy! 7 carats?!?!?!?! And the ring doesn't fit well? You would think if you spend that much you would have the thing sized properly so it wouldn't just fall off of your finger, huh?
I saw this cool tool at Home Depot that would have BEEn good for that ring retrieval: a Milwaukee cordless scope. It's like that Ridgid See Snake thing I mentioned a while back - a camera on a flexible neck, and a hand held screen. It takes the same Li-ion batteries like the rest of their line. So sweet. The toolmonger in me wanted to buy that baby!!
Better go check um out Ynaku! 
January 24th, 2009 at 4:38 pm
Here's a link to that tool:
http://www.milwaukeetool.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_27_40028_-1_753476_197137_192137
I think it was like $250 or so. Then you can use it to play amateur proctologist.
Aigoo! :shock!
January 24th, 2009 at 4:40 pm
@Shauna - So, why'd you get up so early today? Working or playing?
January 24th, 2009 at 5:04 pm
Hey, where'd everyone go? Is everyone watching LMN?
I guess I'll go play with my wood now.
January 24th, 2009 at 5:16 pm
BananaFysh: Are you playing with your wood alone?
You can always wait for Scott to join you when he comes up to Maui... If I were there, I'd rub it together so I can learn how to start a fire! Wouldn't you BEE so proud of me? 
And what question did "Shauna" ignore?
January 24th, 2009 at 5:24 pm
Hello All!! I can't believe it's 5pm already!!
I went to Chinatown again this morning. Maybe OL and I passed each other through the masses. Smells like pee and crazy homeless people pretty much sums up Chinatown. Well, the pee smell goes away when you go into the different markets. Then it smells like a slaughterhouse.
My son got to feed money to the lion during the lion dance. That was cute. Picked up some snacks. Checked out all the booths. Checked out the Cultural Plaza and then got the funk out of there because it was getting way crowded.
January 24th, 2009 at 5:47 pm
bamboohouse808: I give you credit for braving the crowd and other smells... You should've swung by The Advertiser on the way home to say hello. Wanted to see little bamboo.
What kind of snacks did you buy?
Ukuhead: What did you mean in comment #78??
January 24th, 2009 at 5:49 pm
snow: Thanks for the offer. I haven't watched "Wanted" yet. I had things to do including a nap. I have a party tonight for my nephew so I don't know when I'll be able to see it.
Good afternoon my queen.
January 24th, 2009 at 5:55 pm
Here's another version of the 7 carat ring....this one quotes $70K...can't these reporters get the story straight
If Queenie was proofing it, all the "i's" and "t's" would be crossed 
Plumber pulls 7-carat $70,000 ring from toilet
by Emily Dean - Jan. 23, 2009 07:24 PM
The Arizona Republic
A Phoenix plumber became a hero after retrieving a $70,000 ring that had been flushed down the toilet of a Phoenix restaurant.
"We just did what we do," said Mike Roberts, general manager of Mr. Rooter, a plumbing company. Roberts said he spent about eight hours fishing down the toilet with a fiber optic cable on Jan. 14.
The woman, Allison Berry, from California had gone to the restroom after eating at Phoenix's Black Bear Diner, 2410 West Bell Road when the accident happened. Her 7-carat diamond ring slipped off her finger and into the toilet as she was pulling up her pants, she reportedly told a waitress.
Cheryl Jones, the general manager of the diner, called a plumber who told her it was a lost cause.
Berry then called city workers who also were unsuccessful. Mike Roberts was then called in.
"This was going to be like dredging the ocean for a treasure chest," said Roberts.
He tried numerous times to flush the ring out of the pipes. When that didn't work he removed the toilet and used a video camera with an infrared light to spot flashy objects.
Roberts spotted the ring three hours later, after pushing the camera down 125 feet.
He decided the only way to safely retrieve the ring would be to dig up the bathroom floor.
"Many restaurants would not let someone jack up their floor," Jones said.
Workers stayed until 2:30 a.m. Jan. 15 after the ring was safely back on the hand of its owner.
"We washed it off, and she put the ring back on her finger with tears of joy streaming down her cheeks," Roberts said. "I told her she should tie a wire from the ring to her belt loop so it would never be lost again."
After a $250 cost to re-tile the bathroom and a $5,200 bill from Mr. Rooter, the couple tipped each plumber an extra $400 and an employee of the diner $200 for staying late.
"Kind of funny, ($70,000) ring and it don't even fit her finger," said Ricky Vargas, a dishwasher and bus boy at Black Bear.
January 24th, 2009 at 6:25 pm
The only wood I play with is my own, Dear Shauna. And before I met my wife, I was quite the widdler
Today, did Walmart for baby stuff, Ross for mom's stuff, then Kona Brewing Company for beer and pizza stuff. Not a bad day so far.
Maybe I'll talk my wife into busting out the Lincoln Logs....uhh, I mean Lincoln humongous, gigantic telephone post logs.
January 24th, 2009 at 6:26 pm
teejay: What? You haven't watched "Wanted" yet? Ooh, a nap sounds good right about now! You have a lot of parties to go to!
January 24th, 2009 at 6:27 pm
anklebiters: It's like hearing a story from BananaFysh and then one from the musketeers...
Haha!
January 24th, 2009 at 6:29 pm
Scott: Hah! Thanks for NOT playing along! Kidding! Since I was talking about real wood... I mean the kind you find in a forest or something.
Ooh, picking out baby clothes! That must BEE so fun!! The date is getting closer!!
Glad you had a nice day...
So what are these Lincoln Logs you're talking about??
January 24th, 2009 at 6:29 pm
176 and...
January 24th, 2009 at 6:30 pm
Winner at #177!!!! Woo-hoo!
January 24th, 2009 at 6:33 pm
BF, I did so see that scope. COOL. I think Ryobi get one too. I could use one of those.
Ynaku............practicing to bee proctologist. Volunteers?
January 24th, 2009 at 6:42 pm
@Shauna - Typical. You appear right when I walk away.
Yes, I was playing with my wood by myself.
Please, don't rub my wood against anyone else's wood, either. That's just plain rude. 
I was just making my wood a more manageable size, since it's just too big for the job right now. I have to rim it down to size.
Oh, and my question was back in post 69. (There really needs to BEE a "thumbs up" smiley
) Do you remember? I do. 
January 24th, 2009 at 6:42 pm
Hey Bee Hive. Sorry for not BEEing around ALL day. I do have a life. I just pop in when I need break.
I played with my "wood"
Refinishing a piece of furniture. Sanded off old flaking polyurethane finish yesterday so I can re stain it today. Did my best. Didn't come out they way I wanted. Somebody did the original finish and wasn't even. That's ok, I restained and refinished it with 2 coats. Looking good. Take 10 hours between coats so tomorrow I do one more after I use my 0000 steel wool on the top surface. I not going do the sides. I just need the top to bee nice and shiny. Using MinWax Polyshade 1 step gloss finish Antique Walnut. Looks good on Koa. I tried to match it as close as could, but went with one shade darker.
January 24th, 2009 at 6:45 pm
@Ynaku - Isn't that thing awesome?!
Man, I must have totally lit up when I saw it, cause I saw my wife's expression change from
to 
to 
The "Oh geeze, what does he want to waste money on now" face. Oh, add the 
hehehe
I saw on Amazon, they have the model that takes AA batteries, and it's only $99!
January 24th, 2009 at 6:45 pm
Also played plumber. Took off my Paloma Gas Instant Water Heater off the wall and took it to the repair shop for service. Pilot won;t stay on so no hot water when I need it.
But the valve to turn off the water wasn't doing a good job. Had to take the valve apart. I thought had a washer, but not this type. Lose money. I went to the Hardware store but no need. That's ok, I have washers if I need it somewhere else. All I had to do was wire brush it and it stopped the leak. Now my garage won't have this puddle.
January 24th, 2009 at 6:46 pm
I have aunty Paula's sister over here and brother-in-law. He call's me King which is irritating. Do you see that OL?
January 24th, 2009 at 6:46 pm
@Ynaku - Make sure you buff your wood to a nice shine now!
January 24th, 2009 at 6:52 pm
What that model on Amazon? I like check it out.
January 24th, 2009 at 6:56 pm
OH yeah, Remember that blood money from working 18 hours in one day? Plus I went working up Mauna Kea summit (I get differential for anything over 10,000') I thought my wife was going buy me that new grill. NO! She says gotta pay da bills. BUT AS MY MONEY THAT IS EXTRA AND NOT PART OF DA BUDGET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So what did I do. Yes, dear. Then I go buy a replacement burner. Dang it! I bust my a** and not more nothing.
Ynaku.................going back to playing with my *wood*
January 24th, 2009 at 6:57 pm
BF, I like put another 2 coats beefore I *buff my wood*
January 24th, 2009 at 7:05 pm
Hey BF, How they can sell dat buggah for $99. I am so tempted.

January 24th, 2009 at 7:13 pm
@Ynaku - unreal, yeah? Seems too good to BEE true. I know the one at Home Depot has the rechargeable Li-ion batteries, but you really need those? I think AA's are good enuff.
K Hive, gotta run!
I going watch Jake Shimabukuro rip it up.
BEE back later!
Hope I don't have a rant!
January 24th, 2009 at 7:17 pm

teejay: I'll cancel with the other guy for our date.
Shall we switch to Miss American in an hour?? 
And who was calling you king?
Ynaku: You work too hard, even on the weekend!!
And you poor thing, every time you make extra money you cannot pocket it! But that's why you are the best husband and daddy in the world!! (Note to self: Get tips from Mrs. Ynaku one day! 
) And everyone knows it!
January 24th, 2009 at 7:42 pm
Shauna: Rodney's brother-in-law was calling me King. What a jerk. He's actually a very nice guy and aunty Paula's sister is so sweet!!!! Not to mention that she makes some awesome deserts.
January 24th, 2009 at 7:48 pm
Shauna: What is Miss American?
January 24th, 2009 at 7:49 pm
What the hell is wrong with the UH team. They shouldn't have hired Nash. Lose money.
January 24th, 2009 at 7:58 pm
OL: My brother is here and I gave all the pics of TJ when he was a baby along with the size of the eye. I should have copies soon. Will let you know.
Hawaii still sucks at BBall.
January 24th, 2009 at 7:58 pm
teejay: You don't want to BEE called king? But you are king of The Hive!! Oops, I meant Miss America... and yeah, why is our team so BEEhind?
January 24th, 2009 at 7:58 pm
Banana has seen some fine Hawaiian music lately on Maui. Has anybody ever seen Robi Kahakalau in person? She was in the Hawaiian Style Band in the 90's. I love her voice and I think she plays at Chai's on Sunday's.
January 24th, 2009 at 8:04 pm
OOOOOOOooooh!!! Anytime they have hot women on TV and Hawaii sucks at any sport I'll change the channel, my queen. Let's sit on the sofa and have a good time ripping those women who think they can make it as Miss America.

teejay: TLC or channel 71...
Ukuhead and anklebiters made me think of a new game. In addition to BEEing first on the blog, the newest challenge is to BEE last on a post!!

January 24th, 2009 at 8:46 pm
Scott - I seen Robi play once at Ward Borders. She was debuting a new album. Pretty good. No need for the extra synthesizers and back up singers for her. Just a mike and a guitar.
January 24th, 2009 at 8:48 pm
anklebiters!! Stone Temple Pilots. I LOVE THEM!! Plush is probably my favorite song too!! Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!!

Holy cow!!!!!!!! They have two piece suits!!! teejay is happy!!!!!!
January 24th, 2009 at 8:52 pm
Scott - Make sure you guys got your hospital bags all ready. My wife got a surprise at 1am one night a couple weeks earlier than scheduled. Our bags were only half done. Between the grogginess and panic, I forgot a lot of stuff.
January 24th, 2009 at 8:58 pm
Shauna - You watching Miss America?? Take notes. Pay special attention to scone display and smile technique.
January 24th, 2009 at 9:01 pm
And Shauna, don't answer questions this way:

January 24th, 2009 at 9:01 pm
What the hell is up with the hair do??? They all have the same look!!!! This sucks. You should have your own look and wear that awesome two piece. teejay is still happy even with the stupid hair do.
See Shauna, I'm willing to watch what you like too. I have never watched any beauty contest but for you since you watch UH sports, I'll give in and what a great give in it is.
January 24th, 2009 at 9:02 pm
Shauna:
Does that mean I ca go back to all of the archived blogs and make a post - I BEE last
bananaFysh - get ready to update your spreadsheet 
Talking to soul mate for the last two hours....she's gathering all of her tax stuff to do her taxes. She is the richest poor person that I know....we're talking about flexible spending....property taxes....IRA. She hates to keep cash on her....she charges everything on her cash rebate charge cards. There may be trouble brewing at her home soon....she told her BF "We need to talk". Those 4 words, you never want to hear...it almost also means "oh oh"
January 24th, 2009 at 9:03 pm
bamboohouse808:
That is also my favorite STP song too
January 24th, 2009 at 9:12 pm
anklebiters - Too bad they keep breaking up and making up. I think they're back on again. Scott Weiland needs to get his stuff together and stick with the group that made him famous. I bought the Velvet Revolver album and that sucked. At least they aren't doing the Journey thing with 25 different lead singers.
January 24th, 2009 at 9:16 pm
teejay: Glad you are happy!
bamboohouse808: I'm depressed that these young adults have uh..more eye-catching scones. Thanks for depressing me.
January 24th, 2009 at 9:16 pm
Ooooohhhh! Miss Hawaii and Miss Arkansas made it to the next round. Both are hot!!!!!
January 24th, 2009 at 9:18 pm
Howzit Everybody! Back from the party and I ate too much......so much for my walking.
King Teejay........very good on your progress. Find the pics that his HEAD is the size I want.
Wish I could watch some babes in 2 pieces.......NO CAN! Da wife is watching LMN on the t.v. next to me. Some story bout a "gay" guy and I guess he jumps off a bridge and kills himself and the mother has to come to grips with who he really was. A WHOLE DAY (pretty much) of Lifetime Movie Network........I hope I don't turn "gay".....not that there's anything wrong with that!
OL.........actually......gonna go out to the living room to watch BEEkini's
January 24th, 2009 at 9:20 pm
anklebiters: How about this, there is a TWO-DAY DEADLINE to BEE last and after that, all bets are off. We can't give BananaFysh too much work for I never hear the end of it.
Heh heh...we need to talk... That doesn't always mean it's a bad thing... 
teejay: Thanks for switching from sports to swimsuits. Sometimes compromising is a good thing. What about goddess watching? Is that still on hold?
January 24th, 2009 at 9:24 pm
@Bamboo, thanks for the info. Actually, today's mission was primarily to get the bags packed and ready. I'm a freak about planning every aspect of my life, I think. We also got a diaper Genie and breast pump. The breast pump is for her.....I got the Austin Powers version.....No, I kid I kid.
January 24th, 2009 at 9:28 pm
Shauna - I thought you made peace with the scones you were given? Or are you starting to see things my way?
And........yeah Little Bamboo would love to meet you one day. I'll teach him to not be disappointed when he sees the small "buffet".
January 24th, 2009 at 9:29 pm
Miss Hawaii is going to make it but what the hell was with her outfit?
January 24th, 2009 at 9:31 pm
I'll watch my goddess tomorrow morning. I'm looking at future goddess's. What the heck is with the hair do though.
January 24th, 2009 at 9:32 pm
Scott - Good for you, being prepared early. The Diaper Genie supposedly only works when the diapers are really full. I never tried one, but that's what I heard. I also know way more about breast pumps than I would like too. Who'd thought I BEE an expert on those??......
January 24th, 2009 at 9:32 pm
I just saw Miss Hawaii in her.........her.........CHICKEN OUTFIT?
WHAT the heck was dat??????
The next one started singing.....you know what they say when they have to "sing" as their talent............they ain't got none!
OL.......back to da puter and LIFETIME MOVIE NETWORK
January 24th, 2009 at 9:35 pm
Bruddah Scott.....when "Da Boy" was a baby we bought a Diaper Genie...........THROW DAT STINKING POOP CONTAINER AWAY!!!!!!!
The "stench" is atrocious!!!!!!! The commercial used to mention "no odor".......my butt. Well, my butt doesn't have odor......ah......wait......hmmm.......getting back to the Diaper Genie..........just wait.....going BEE "major hauna".
OL.......trying to give Bruddah Scott advice from experience
January 24th, 2009 at 9:38 pm
Miss Tenn sucks big time.
January 24th, 2009 at 9:39 pm
WTF with the opera crap!!!!!
January 24th, 2009 at 9:42 pm
Good evening Hive! Just got back from Chinese New Year party and Don McLean concert (yes, I am squarely in the MLC demographic).
One of Sweetie and my hula friends cooked a huge spread for about 30 people - noodles, beef broccoli, taro, black-bean shrimp, ginger chicken, salmon, planny other stuff I didn't recognize. Couldn't stay long, unfortunately, 'cuz concert started at 8.
Starting to snow again up here - but it's wet and unlikely to cause too much trouble.
Scott - if you go to hear Sistah Robi, tell us your impressions. She has such a fabulous voice.
January 24th, 2009 at 9:47 pm
Wassup gang, been reading yesterday's blog and this one now and got a couple of questions. First, gotta say that circle jerk stuff was nasty lol, never did it dont plan to and proud to say that lol.
Shauna where is all of these pics that I read you guys talk about? I want to see please.
Ynaku, luv those jokes brother lol.
Shauna if anybody comes to you with their wood just bust out some matches and start a fire,, ooops forgot you don't know how to strike a match lmao. Sorry, I just could'nt resist that one (and then the fight started) hahahahaha
Having a good weekend so far over here, I broke 2 topps moments & milestones hobby boxes yesterday and did really well; pulled a mantle & ryan autos, nothing else but those made it all worthwhile.
I got that horse broke today, took 3hrs but got that bad boy rode & collected the other half of my money!!
Hey ynaku gonna end with a joke for ya brother.
This straight guy wanders unknowingly into a gay bar, he gets up to the bar sits down on an open stool and orders a beer. The guy next to him entices him into a game of table football (rainbow style). The straight guy says ok how do you play it? (gay guy responds) well we use the folded paper triangle and you score when you can get it to hang of the edge of the table w/out falling off, but for the extra pt instead of flicking it through the other guy's fingers you gotta drink a beer and fart within 5 seconds. Oh so its kind of a drinking game, sure I am game. The straight guy goes 1st and scores on the first try, he chuggs down a beer real quick gets up off the stool and tries to squeeze one out. The gay guy quickly jumps behind him unzips his pants and shouts "block that kick" LMAO!!!
AND THEN THE FIGHT STARTED!!! hahahhahaha
sorry it was a long one
January 24th, 2009 at 9:49 pm
Shauna is miss Arkansas still in? She's hot.
January 24th, 2009 at 9:49 pm
bamboohouse808: No, it was a trick statement. See that you are still superficial!
Sigh, it looks like I need to teach little bamboo the ways of the world! 
Ocean Lover and teejay: That outfit I suppose is of a Tahitian background. Lot of hip shaking. I saw parts of that skirt thing fall off... One girl didn't even sing, she half-danced/lip synced to a song... That's worse...
teejay: Hmm, you really don't like the hairdos...
Ocean Lover: LMN all night, huh? Wait till you see this upcoming video on "masculinity" that I'll BEE posting soon. Too funny!!
January 24th, 2009 at 9:55 pm
Handing off to the night shift.........I'll just "cave" and watch dis movie with da wife.
OL....has caved-in to LMN
January 24th, 2009 at 9:57 pm
Miss Hawaii didn't go on. What a shame. Florida and the one before her sucked!!!!!!!
January 24th, 2009 at 9:57 pm
KAN: Wow, sounds like a great spread!! Glad you got to celebrate Chinese New Year and enjoy a concert!! You lucky people who don't work on weekends!
Brother Love: Hi hi! I think I need to send you an invitation to the SecretPlace soon. Though the bedroom post has a photo of me with my short hair. No big deal but some folks just wanted to see it. BEElieve me, you're not missing much. Ooh, good one on me not BEEing able to start a fire and you starting a fight!
Loved your last joke also! Good news on breaking in the horse. Don't know much about those hobby boxes you are talking about...
Musketeers: Aren't you so proud of me? Got the men watching Miss America!! Then again, that doesn't take much arm-twisting, huh?
Man Cave closed tonight. Honey Haven open ALL night! 
January 24th, 2009 at 9:59 pm
Secret - Because you're hot
January 24th, 2009 at 10:01 pm
correction that mantle auto came out of a different one, it was a soriano..
January 24th, 2009 at 10:09 pm
Miss Indiana? That sucked. That's why I hate watching these shows. I only watch to see T and A.
January 24th, 2009 at 10:11 pm
yes shauna, i already had read kelli's comment. unlike some people (ahem, ahem) i read all the comments even if i'm NOT the moderator of this blog
my comment was actually geared towards kelli! (inside "joke")
BF: i feel for you about shauna ignoring you. at least she responds to your posts most of the time. she just ignores me. i guess she feels she has enough bees on this blog so i think she's trying to drive some of us (me) away.
hmmm, let's see if the guilt trip angle works here... hahaha.
snow: it was pretty fun at the school. 2nd grade and the teacher is actually married to a hawaii guy. each of the table pods are named after the main islands! it was for an art lesson so that was fun. we had to do positive and negative space colors using outlines of FRUIT! sad to say, had lots of watermelons, apples, and strawberries but was lacking a certain famous yellow fruit.
January 24th, 2009 at 10:13 pm
teejay - T and A?? Teeth and Answers??
January 24th, 2009 at 10:19 pm
bamboohouse808: It should be B and B. Boobies and Booties.

Man, the guy is just unreal. I saw him last year too, and was just as good if not better.
Yeah, I've seen some pretty good shows so far this year. Next month - Hapa!
@Shauna - Oh, it figures, doesn't it? As soon as I go, you come back.
You avoiding me or what? 
Eh, how you got that Sam Sato's? So lucky, eh? 
No chocolate and peanut butter mochi? Jake said there was some back stage during the intermission, but he didn't have any.
January 24th, 2009 at 11:53 pm

January 25th, 2009 at 12:16 am
Good night ukuhead and HNL2LAS! Alas, I hardly saw thee...
hehe
@opso - Oh man, Jake was on fire!! Not literally, of course.
Dang, he's friggin' awesome! There seemed to BEE a bunch of Japanese tourists at this concert too. Interesting.
One was sitting a couple seats down from my wife, and it looked like she was "strumming" or something. Not really, but I dunno how to describe it. It was she was "drumming" her hands to the strumming. All I know is, she was wearing a long sleeve black shirt, so her white hands were very eye catching, even from the corner of my eye.
Oh, Jake played Michael Jackson's Thriller! That was very cool and interesting!
January 25th, 2009 at 12:18 am
from the iPhone since so many bees came out to play...
New lucky numbers: 333, 363 and 444
BF: so sorry but what was question in 69? Glad the concert was good. I remember meeting him in a gymnastics class a long time ago. And he is a classmate of one of the bees...
Opso: hi!!!!!! Glad to hear from you!!!!
January 25th, 2009 at 12:21 am
@opso -
I tell you!
Just cause I get hagemoge teet', they think they can run all over me! 
HAHA! Nah, it's all good.
I make like I never see 'um.
January 25th, 2009 at 12:22 am
hey....hi there Queenie! mianhae for BEEing mia.
ho.....da next numbah kinda high right now.
i wonder if we can hoar up to it.
January 25th, 2009 at 12:24 am
Whoa! It's Queenie!
Hey, how you doooin'?
You lazy buggah, no like look at the question in post 69?!
Who is classmates with Jake?
January 25th, 2009 at 12:25 am
Honda si boy: eh no talk about not responding since someone was never a guest blogger and does not know the work involved... Hmmm wonder if that is a good enough guilt trip..
Ukuhead: sorry but what pic were you referring to that I put up??
HNL2LAS: sounds like you had a lot of fun!! Hope you end up getting the sweets you want!!
January 25th, 2009 at 12:27 am
Aloha fellow buzzers-
Mianhae for not being around, but work has me staying up ALL FREAKIN night tonight, luckily I have you crazee cats to keep me company right? Oh I just read the last comment, and now that I wrote that I'm probably not going to be able to snipe it... Oh well... here goes nothin'
NEO
January 25th, 2009 at 12:29 am
BF - i guess you neva see your spastic friends at this concert then? heh.
he played Thriller? cool.
he neva play Beat It too? would've BEEn cool for him to do the Eddie Van Halen solo.
January 25th, 2009 at 12:30 am
BF: yeah scrolling up is cumbersome on phone... Do the math on jake...
Opso: hoar hoar hoar!!!!
January 25th, 2009 at 12:33 am
Queenie - how come you posting from your phone? you multi-tasking or sumptin?
January 25th, 2009 at 12:34 am
NEO: you had to work all night?? Guess you missed the pageant on tv.... Glad you checked in though. We all missed you and have been praying for your friend!!
January 25th, 2009 at 12:36 am
Opso: just wanted to check out comments but saw so many had to go on. Going back to watch my dance show! Good night!!
January 25th, 2009 at 12:37 am
@Shauna - I tell you, the things I do for you ...
January 25th, 2009 at 12:40 am
D'oh! messed up the tag I think. grrr
@opso - nope, no spazz next to me tonight.
Interesting ratio tonight - I think it was mayBEE 50/50! 
@Shauna - I know how old Jake is, but I don't know where he went to school. I know he's around your age. If I had to guess, I would say bamboohouse.
January 25th, 2009 at 12:53 am
@opso - Yeah, Thriller was kinda trippy. I never thought I would hear that song coming out of a uke. When Jake said he was going to do a song off the Thriller album, I thought he was going to do Beat It, for the exact reason you stated - Van Halen.
January 25th, 2009 at 12:56 am
Queenie - what? you going ditch us for a dance show? aigoo.....
yeah......okay......"I" deserve it since i was neglecting my blog duties ova hea.
January 25th, 2009 at 1:00 am
Her Royal Highness the Queen-
no my dear it wasn't that I "had" to work all night, it's that I HAVE to work all night, which means that technically I'm still working... and thank you all so very much for praying for my friend. I really appreciate it... You guys and gals are an amazing bunch of BEEple, and I'm sooo glad that I can call you all "friends"
Aloha-

January 25th, 2009 at 1:02 am
BF - so was the concert at MACC again? you get one annual concert pass or sumptin?
dang......these Extenze commercials are on mostly every channel at this time of night.
January 25th, 2009 at 1:04 am
Queenie bagging out on us again? Figures.
So rude, dat girl. I swear, I going post that bolohead pic of her in the secret place. Going make people vomit. HAHA!
January 25th, 2009 at 1:14 am
@opso - Yup, concert at the MACC again.
Had a deal where if you bought tickets to 6 shows, you would get like 15-20% off, depending on the show. Something like that. Had plenny shows we wanted to catch this year, so we went for it. Yeah, kind expensive, but eh, gotta support the ahts, yeah?
So we saw Lee Cataluna's Da Mayah a few months ago, then Keali'i last week, Jake tonight, Hapa next month, and then Na Leo at the end of March. We also bought tickets to Diana Krall for a friend for Christmas. She's a BEEg fan of hers, so we just went for it.
January 25th, 2009 at 1:19 am
Here's a pic of the inside of Castle theater:
http://www.mauiarts.org/castle.html
For this concert, and the next two, we were on the balcony level, front row, right in the middle. Sweet seats! If you look over the railing, shmall kine vertigo!
January 25th, 2009 at 1:24 am
hehe - extenze - "for that certain part of the male anatomy."
What, no more Shop Er0tic on Oxygen? That Asian host is a hottie!
January 25th, 2009 at 1:26 am
wow! that's a bitchin concert hall! looks like every seat in the house is a good one.
January 25th, 2009 at 1:31 am
you seen the one with the 3 wahine panel and their testimonials? too funny.
hah.....i think i saw that toys show a few times.
January 25th, 2009 at 1:33 am
That place is awesome!
I recall going to a couple sold out SRO events, and they added chairs in. That was the only time I recall having bad seats - they were BEEhind a column.
WWD!? Why bother?! I forget what was that I had that junk seats. I don't think it was a concert ... mayBEE A Chorus Line. Yeah, yeah, no snickering. 
I went to see Cats there too. Meh. I don't get what all the hype is/was about that show. O-VER-RA-TED!!!
I'd rather go see The
LoinLion King.January 25th, 2009 at 1:40 am
hahaha! BEEhind a column! fo reals.....WWD!
reminds me of this story a few years ago where this guy had tickets to the super bowl or nba finals.....i forget. and he had the worst seat in the house. he was sitting BEEside the risers and he could only see like ¼ of the field/court.
but he was all ecstatic just to BEE there that he didn't care. he had a great attitude. was so funny.
January 25th, 2009 at 1:42 am
yay......new #3! w00t!
January 25th, 2009 at 1:47 am
Yeah! New #3!
And I can put a tic mark in my assist column.
I had enough sniping action this morning. 
Poor Masako.
I sniped her by accident. Fo' reals!
I haven't seen any more shows that put people BEEhind the columns again. I know it's on the mezzanine level. Some lame, putting seats there. No can.
January 25th, 2009 at 1:52 am
Oh, just remembered - there was this donkey tonight who was yelling REALLY loud at the concert. During the quiet times - like right at the beginning of the songs. I think he just wanted peeps to notice him. Dummy.
January 25th, 2009 at 2:04 am
yeah.....lotta sniping going on i see.
NKHEA's one was too funny. look like he got blown to smithereens one time. pua ting.
January 25th, 2009 at 2:07 am
what's wit da kine peeps yeah? "look at me!" aigoo....
January 25th, 2009 at 2:14 am
Yeah, sad some people. They do anything for attention.
They guy disappeared after intermission, so that was good. Sometimes you get lucky.
Ok yeah, NKHEA got KA-BLOOEYED by a claymore, I think. Or an SBD.
January 25th, 2009 at 2:25 am
heh heh
was so funny cause NKHEA's hoaring just stopped in mid hoar.
i wonder what happened? was that when the blogs was all messed up?
January 25th, 2009 at 2:35 am
Yeah, the blogs were messed up that day. had to wait 200 seconds or something for your post to "materialize." And then they all came on at one time.
I bet NKHEA looked at the screen and noticed none of his posts went up, and he just quit.
Am I right NKHEA? Are you reading this? I know you BEEzy, but no run away so fast!

Miss Indiana won. They had Miss Hawaii and Miss Arkansas along with Miss Georgia who is black or african american to be PC and all were better than Miss Indiana. And you saw what I said about calling me "King" right?
I love my asians as much as the next guy so let me know when the next beauty contest is on. It's like a sporting event where you can cheer for a certain team or person and boo the others.
Okay I'll just say race wise I love any women who has nice da kine and is gorgeous. T and A is important to teejay.

Okay, I get my money from the IRS on Feb 3 and I'm seeing all these commercials about how these crooks get off by calling this company that can reduce their tax burden by ten times!!!!!!!! First of all what A holes!!!!!!!!!! We all pay taxes for a reason and if I'm paying more because these scumbags don't pay at all... I want a private meeting with these jerks. They won't be leaving the room I can tell you that.
teejay needs to watch his goddess. getting too stressed out.

Shauna:
post #78 Never get the glamour queeny pic. I never read the title on the box earlier.
If you touch the status bar at the top of the screen, it will scroll all the way to the top. I cannot figure out how to scroll down. Kind of a pain once we get past 100 post or if you post plenty pics.
You're Jake's classmate? You guys around the same age.
January 25th, 2009 at 10:16 am
Good morning Hive!
re Opso's #282:
We saw Jake at the Bumbershoot Festival about 6-7 years ago. Somebody yelled "Freebird!" from the audience, and everybody laughed. Then he played it. It was awesome. I've seen hummingbird wings that move slower than his hands.
I also love Herb Ohta Jr.'s version of "Sir Duke." He makes it look so easy. I've been trying to figure out the instrumental part between the bridge and the verse ever since I first heard him do it.
I've never seen Troy Fernandez play, but I hear he's a major shredder.
January 25th, 2009 at 11:52 am
Morning, morning! It's not noon yet!
opso and BananaFysh: Wow, that was some late action going on!
BF: I didn't care for "Cats" either. Think I fell asleep in there!
opso: "America's Best Dance Crew" on MTV. You gotta watch it!
teejay: Woo-hoo! You get your tax money soon! Those commercials you're talking about often prey on the elderly!
Yeah, you should have a talk with them! And regarding B and B... like that phrase! You're so funny!
bamboohouse808: Who's hot? Teeth and Answers! Good one!
Ocean Lover: BEEzy BEEzy today! What kind of Boy Scout stuff you guys got going on today?
KAN: Do you get to hear much Hawaiian music up in Seattle??
Ukuhead: Thanks for another iPhone tip! And so you missed the glamour queeny pic the first time around?
Ukuhead and BananaFysh: And no, I'm not Jake's classmate. A BEE who has BEEn MIA is...

@anklebiter, mahalo for the Beatles youtube, think it was Friday.
I played 4 different versions of As My Guitar Weeps.
There's even one of Jake on that list.
I'm gonna try hook up with the guy in Aiea this coming Sat for the Zaino products.
January 25th, 2009 at 12:30 pm
Ouch! Sniper action!
@Shauna: We hear a fair amount of Hawaiian music up here, which is kind of surprising. Jake usually plays once or twice a year, we see Herb Ohta Jr. once or twice a year, and Hapa usually comes at least once a year as well. Makaha Sons, Na Leo, Keali`i Reichel, Led Ka`apana and Mike Ka`awa, Willie K (together with four of his brothers!), Amy, Raiatea - they've all been through in the last year. And we get a lot of really good slack key concerts each year - Dennis Kamakahi, Richard Ho`opi`i and George Kahumoku are playing here in March.
We also have a loose-knit kanikapila bunch that meets on a fairly regular basis, made up about equally of people from Hawai`i and not from Hawai`i.

opso: no need be all j. never got to go up to big bear for snowboarding. was too BEEzy. went to O.C. to meet up with family and got stuffed on way too much chinese food for the chinese new years. im not a big chinese food fan, but the stuff in LA is really good.
speaking of that, maybe i can get QB to post some of the pics i have. most of them are on my aunty's camera so i'll have to get it from her. but seeing how QB always ignores me, i dunno if the photo posts will happen

January 25th, 2009 at 2:09 pm
WINNA!!!!!!!!!
January 25th, 2009 at 2:12 pm
Jake's a 1994 grad - he's year of the dragon.
I think he grad Kaimuki.
January 25th, 2009 at 2:13 pm
Congrats NKHEA! No snipers around to spoil your fun!
January 25th, 2009 at 2:14 pm
Eh dat invisible cloak wen stay work, I BEE invisible to da snipers
Think mayBEE I goin for #444 
NKHEA... contemplating if he should go fo #444
January 25th, 2009 at 2:30 pm
1994 grad? ahhh, ok. i guess there's a few of those dragons on this blog.
January 25th, 2009 at 2:31 pm
doofus: OMG! Too funny! Were you waiting or you just so happen to open this page?? Yay, you earn a spot on the spreadsheet! Go for #444!!
NKHEA: Yay, you got it this this time!! It's an ODD game where you wonder if snipers are waiting... It reminds me of BEEing in the woods (which I rarely am) and you're an open target... Woo-hoo for the invisible cloak!!
And thanks for not giving me a rusty pole! Lock jaw... never heard that phrase in a while!
honda si boy: You gotta send me the pics to my e-mail since haven't figured out how to upload from the phone yet... IF I have time I'll consider posting them!
Kidding! No snowboarding? Shucks!!
KAN: That's nice you get to hear some Hawaiian music every now and then. Does it remind you of home.
And why do we care about Jake's age/school? I just mentioned it in passing... so funny. Hope people don't think we're obsessed... but honda si boy is wrong. KAN got it right!
January 25th, 2009 at 2:35 pm
I got along well with a lot of folks who were born in the year of the dragon... wait, isn't that also you, honda si boy? I take that back!
What animal year were you all born in? Let's see which animal rules O&E!! BananaFysh, keep track please!

Sorry, AFK. Trying to finish my project before I leave for Kona tomorrow. Staying there 2 nights and back to Hilo Wednesday.
Too funny you guys. I saw the Swimsuit competition last night and notice most "scones" were flat
Nah joke. Only saw up to Hawaii and then I change channel. Sorry, must bee high on the fumes.
January 25th, 2009 at 3:00 pm
NKHEA, yeah keep your head down. No give the snipers a target. No feel bad, I ran out of ammo and got blasted.
OK me go pack. Get dinner tonight friend house so I like finish beefore I go.
January 25th, 2009 at 3:08 pm
Good Afternoon Hive!
Eh, what Shauna like me do now?
Chee, we take gas from her, yeah, HSiB? We only get attention when she like us do something for her.
Bad Queenie! 
I'm a dog. That's my style.
January 25th, 2009 at 3:11 pm
I'm a dragon - that's how I remembered Jake's a dragon.

sp typical of queenie...only talk focused on the QUEEN allowed here! muwahahaha!
well mayBEE if i remember i'll email you those pics. but like i said, my aunty has it on her camera (i didn't bring my camera with me) and i'm not sure if she knows how to upload the pics to an email to me. the other half of the pics are from my phone and my camera sucks on that thing since it was manufactured some time during the gempei wars.
January 25th, 2009 at 3:15 pm
So, we still dunno who Jake's classmate is? Oh well.
@KAN - I would hear from my SIL about all the shows up in Washington. I guess there are a LOT of Hawaii ex-pats up there, huh?
I got to see Dennis Kamakahi last year. He was playing this concert series out in Kapalua with George Kahumoku. That was awesome too. Lots of story-telling and good music. What made it special to me was that it wasn't a "dumbed down" show for tourists. I would highly recommend catching a show by either one of these gentlemen.
January 25th, 2009 at 3:19 pm
kan: 'eh, we da same den. dragon here too. i like that sign. that or the tiger. uhmmm (looking nervously at QB) and uhmm, the snake. yeah, that's what i meant to say! i love people born year of the snake!!!!! they're great people! uhmm, i mean BEEple! yes, snake. sssssss.
BF: i know, right! sheesh. but what makes QB a bad queenie makes us good slaves...take the abuse and always ask for more, more, MORE! hahahaha.

Oh well.....what's new?
Okay.......da boy has to supervise the Cub Scouts every Sunday for some merit badge thing.
I'm a "rat".
OL.........home for just a bit den gotta go to anoddah party.
January 25th, 2009 at 3:28 pm
@NKHEA - Good job avoiding the sniper fire / land mines this time!
It sucks BEEing in the woods and getting nailed by sniper fire. BEEn there, done that.
It's fun BEEing the sniper, though.
January 25th, 2009 at 3:35 pm
Getting SNIPED makes me feel like ZIGGY. You're "that close" to the prize and it gets snatched away. Things happen to me which also makes me feel like ZIGGY.
Today I went to Burger King.........prior to that I had 3 cups of coffee and we all know what happens with that much coffee. I had to do a #1........you folks thought #3, huh? Sorry to disappoint. So I REALLY HAD TO GO and I walk into the bathroom. I get HALFWAY IN THERE and there's this LADY EMPLOYEE cleaning in there. She didn't put one of those "Sorry, we're CLOSED" thingeys in FRONT OF THE DOOR so that she wouldn't BEE bothered while she cleaned.
I REALLY HAD TO GO and thought, "Eh.....she no moa one of those barricade things...dat means these urinals are OPEN FOR BEEsiness and I'm gonna "answer nature's call". So even though I had to "GO REAL BAD".....the thought that not 6 feet away from me here's a LADY in the MEN'S BATHROOM.......I had a tad bit of "stage fright". After 5.423 seconds........the DAM BURST!
I didn't care if there was a lady in there while I was trying to fill that urinal. I just kept wondering if she'd play a game and push me in the back whilst I "tinkled". She didn't.....and I smiled.
OL.........the WEIRDEST THINGS happen in the bathrooms
January 25th, 2009 at 3:35 pm
@OL - Sniped from your own lucky number. That's just sad.
Wow, party tonight too? Wow, BEEzy guy, eh?
Have fun hangin' out with Mr. Coors.
January 25th, 2009 at 3:39 pm
@OL - You sure that lady never peep over your shoulder while you "tinkled?"
You sure do have the funniest bathroom stories.
So, what if she DID push you in the back, so you catch some spray?
January 25th, 2009 at 3:42 pm
Banana,
What was I posed to have done? I THOUGHT for a millisecond about doing an "about face"....but thought "You don't want a kidney infection OL".....so just thought "GEEV UM!"
I never expected anyone of the "female persuasion" in there.
OL.......Expect the Unexpected
January 25th, 2009 at 3:51 pm
@OL - I no blame you - I probably would have done the same thing. I dunno why they no clean the bathroom BEEfore they open. Once they open, you gotta assume that the customers going use um, and it shouldn't BEE closed, unless it's to clean up something nasty.
ick.
January 25th, 2009 at 3:56 pm
Banana,
Usually I whistle when I tinkle but couldn't this time. What if the tables were turned and a guy janitor were in the WOMEN's bathroom. Would the BEES "go" or would they go?
I'm betting would have a lot of women kidney infections.
OL........."Better SHAME den PAIN!"
January 25th, 2009 at 4:04 pm
OL -
That's an interesting question. Any of the HoneyBEEs what to tackle that one?
Another question, would it make a difference if the janitor was good looking or ugly? Would you feel comfortable tinkling in front of a hottie? Would you cut one loud one in front of the hot janitor? This goes for BEE BEE DEEs or HoneyBEEs.
January 25th, 2009 at 4:09 pm
OL, you have the best stories and yes, I said stories. That doesn't make them fictional it just makes them a good tell. I would've told her to hold it for me and tell her she needs two hands.
January 25th, 2009 at 4:16 pm
Banana,
I would guess that 100% of the HoneyBEES would've done an "about face" and just left if had a GUY employee cleaning up.
Perhaps I'm just "used to it" as the janitress on our floor at work will "barge in" to the bathroom pretty regularly. I think she's looking for cheap thrills.
OL.....gotta get ready for anudder party
January 25th, 2009 at 4:17 pm
Hahahahahahaha.....Teejay. You coulda then put your hands locked BEEhind your head and either smoked a cigarette or chewed some gum.
OL.........see ya later tonight probably
January 25th, 2009 at 4:21 pm
OK BEE BEE DEEs inthe house.
Why is it we go to public restrooms at a mall or someplace like that and they keep the door wide open. I mean propped open by the janitorial staff. You can see right in. Not too bad if the woman's beefore the men cause they get closed stall. but no. They get the man's door open so all can see them using the urinal.
I use the toilet stalls but can still see if you look at the mirrors and see the reflection of the stall doors.
I find that to BEE so ODD. Somebody like get their thrills.
January 25th, 2009 at 4:29 pm
I guess we all have bathroom stories, yeah?
I hate when they leave the bathroom doors open too! Eh, mayBEE they letting the place "air out?"
I know I wouldn't really want to work in that smell, if somebody just cut one. But then again, all the more reason to clean the bathroom BEEfore the business open, yeah? 
One noddah thing I trip out on - how do guys miss the urinal? I know all you fellas have seen this BEEfore - the puddle right BEElow the urinal. And the buggah not leaking, so the "leak" had to come from a person! WWD!?!?! No more aim, or what?
No can.
January 25th, 2009 at 4:38 pm
Ok me gotta go get ready for party. Da wife went to one girlie party so I dunno if she going come home first or meet me at our other party. She just went take off this afternoon.

Oh this morning she called me so I going.
But us get dinner da kine house.
Yeah go buy cake noodles or something.
But I stay busy with this piece of furniture and I get varnish all over the place. You go buy and meet me there. And I thought you was going make Pinacbet. You made me go all ova town looking for cheap vegetables yesterday. I went to da Filipino store and they thought I could understand what they was saying but I dunno cause I forget da language and just because I was wearing my boroboro clothes doesn't mean I just came from da farm.
I no moe time. I gotta go. Oh can you get me some wire? We like make craft.

Oh neva mind. No need da wire. I going already. Next time

Now I get one call, You like pick up the cake noodle if I order it?
Why where you stay?

Ynkau..................pau rant for today
January 25th, 2009 at 4:57 pm
@Ynaku - ho, braddah. I think all the wives get together to think of new methods and techniques on how to mess woth the husband's minds. No wonder e ger broken brains, yeah?
I think us men gotta go on strike, and we go start leaving the seat up after we shi-shi.
Then when we hear the screams after soft, warm flesh touches cold, hard porcelain, we can evilly laugh to our selves, and mutter "See? Dat's what you get for making any kine!" 
You guys go do um first, and I go follow if work.
Nah, nah, just kidding. I would like to "have relations" with the wife sometime in the future.
January 25th, 2009 at 5:03 pm
Man, those wahines, they sure know how to catch us head, I tell you.
Lucky you guys get to go party tonight.
I no more party to go to this weekend.
Next weekend get though.
January 25th, 2009 at 5:05 pm
I going go play with my wood again now. I was lazy all day today, and never finish what I started yesterday.
So time to do some screwing, nailing, and pounding.
January 25th, 2009 at 5:05 pm
New #4! w00t!
January 25th, 2009 at 5:07 pm
Okay, off to play with my wood.
Shauna should BEE showing up in a few minutes, since I'm running away again.
January 25th, 2009 at 5:37 pm
Shauna: Hmmm... What do I buy from Nordstrom? Well, I recently purchased two UA shirts to wear when I go to the gym and Olukai's (THE most comfortable slipper ever). I frequent the following departments: active wear (for UA stuff), shoes, B.P., kid boys (for my cousin), handbags, accessories and T.B.D. (for Juicy Couture stuff). Ok, that's enough shopping. Oh yeah, the ebar has really good drinks, too.
honda si boy: Putting down UA, huh? That's not nice. You're lucky I didn't say anything about "your" stores.
January 25th, 2009 at 6:04 pm
Where is everybody after BF did the hoar thing? We need participation and we don't have sports or a beauty contest on.
January 25th, 2009 at 6:25 pm
I ste hea! Just finished jamming wit' my Sweetie. No, not li'dat! He was playing bass, I was playing `ukulele. We just play any kine. No not li'dat!
January 25th, 2009 at 6:30 pm
You play uke Kan? What kine you got and what size you got?
January 25th, 2009 at 7:16 pm
I get three - my main is a concert Kamaka which I've had for over 20 years. I also have an electric concert Bugs' Gear, and a Leolani zebrawood tenor. Sweetie's main `ukulele is a tenor Mele, but he also has a tenor Fluke (which he started with) and a tenor electric Uke stick. Funny thing is Sweetie and I bought our electrics from the same friend - he favors the standard size `ukulele, but he kept buying other sizes of electrics thinking he'd like them better and didn't.
January 25th, 2009 at 7:17 pm
Sweetie says to add that his Mele is a six-stringed one which he bought on Kauai. That one has good volume, which is good for when he accompanies hula dancers.
January 25th, 2009 at 7:19 pm
I have two Ko'olau tenors. I took lessons but would love to switch to guitar for more sustain.
January 25th, 2009 at 7:55 pm
Teejay - you should! Who'd you take lessons from, if you don't mind saying?
January 25th, 2009 at 10:31 pm
Everyone still out partying?
Just watched last week's premier of Lost. Dang, that show is cool!
I get even more broken brain from watching that!
I still not done playing with my wood. MayBEE one more day and I pau. Got all my wood the right size. Time to do a lot of screwing now. Some nailing too.
January 25th, 2009 at 10:34 pm
I'm amazed Queenie didn't show up right after I left. Or mayBEE she did, but just lurked.

January 25th, 2009 at 11:23 pm
Honeybee answer: I agree, I would do the "about face" if a man was in the bathroom! No matta if he was a hottie or not!! MORE worse if was a hottie and den!

January 25th, 2009 at 11:37 pm
bh808: haha, that's a good one! hmmm, i must BEE almost old enough to drink too although that's not what it seemed like at the triad party!
and for some strange reason, my body sure doesn't feel like 20 years old after a whole day of playing basketball, football, or golf. it feels a lot older than that. but anyways, yup, i guess we're all the same age!! *wink*wink*
hnl2las: what if was someone famous? i once peed next to scottie pippen at the mauna lani hotel. that was a trip. weird though.
hey shauna, what if was that ssh korean dude that you stalk--err, i mean that you're a big fan of?! hehe. would you turn around, or would you kick his ass for BEEing all skebe or what?
January 25th, 2009 at 11:47 pm
Good evening BEEs!
I can drink, cause I'm uh, 26. Yeah, that's it.
Ah so, HNL2LAS. You would rather suffer the pain than the shame, eh? What if the "turtle was poking its head out of its shell" though? IYKWIM.
You would go run and find another bathroom? Or *GASP* soil yourself! 
January 25th, 2009 at 11:55 pm
@HSiB - Ah, good scenario! I'll take it one further.
So, Queenie, say you walked into the ladies' room, SSH was in there, and he had just taken as stank, nasty, foul BM. He was in the ladies' room cause the janitor was cleaning the mens' room, and he couldn't make it to another bathroom, cause he was "touching cloth." IYKWIM.
Would you BEE able to look at him the same way, after he had left BEEhind some nasty, sinus-destroying toxic waste? Mind you, it WAS from him, cause he's the only one in there BEEsides you! Would you still try to kiss him, even if your eyes started tearing from the noxious fumes?
January 26th, 2009 at 12:14 am
BAAHHHHAAA!!... the turtle poking its head out of its shell!!! Touching cloth!!! I've only heard about the gopher! haha.... Yah I would wait or find another one, quick!~

January 26th, 2009 at 1:25 am
Wow, going get one new post or what? Kinda late.
Queenie, you stay lurking? I know it's late, but I've seen you up this late a few times.
January 26th, 2009 at 1:26 am
Kdrama? For reals? Wow.
I was playing Tower Defense. Getting all futless. I know it's designed so you lose, but frustrating after you make a mistake on a gun placement.
January 26th, 2009 at 1:26 am
Why do I watch these? Where's opso?
Gotta bee the honeys.
January 26th, 2009 at 1:27 am
What game is Tower Defense?
January 26th, 2009 at 1:29 am
Yeah, I think you fellas watch it to check out the hot chicks.
That's would BEE my motivation.
January 26th, 2009 at 1:31 am
Tower Defense is a Flash game where you gotta set up gun turrets to stop endless waves of bad guys. Put towers in strategic locations, and upgrade accordingly.
Try google um. get CHOKE variations.
January 26th, 2009 at 1:36 am
I dunno why I feel so jittery right now. I need to burn off some energy or something. Too late to bang away at the drums on Rock Band.
MayBEE I go play guitar instead.
January 26th, 2009 at 1:37 am
I think Tower Defense got me all worked up.
Stupid endless waves of ants.

January 26th, 2009 at 1:37 am

January 26th, 2009 at 1:41 am
Uh oh, I think Queenie and Kelli might try slap my head now.
January 26th, 2009 at 1:42 am
They drag the hot chicks around by the wrist and in the one I watching now, the guy picks up the girl, spins her around and BOOM throws her on the beach.
January 26th, 2009 at 1:42 am
January 26th, 2009 at 1:42 am
that must hurt for real
January 26th, 2009 at 1:43 am
I saw a funny spoof of K-dramas on Mad TV. Was on YouTube. I go try look for um....
January 26th, 2009 at 1:43 am
Yup. All the plots is pretty much the same.
January 26th, 2009 at 1:45 am
Maybe Queenie and Kelli like Neanderthals. That's why the watch K-dramas.

January 26th, 2009 at 1:53 am
Ho boy, starting to get tired now. Not jittery any more.
Just had to close my eyes little while, and not think about Tower Defense.
January 26th, 2009 at 1:56 am
That was funny. I watched this other Bobby Lee clip too.

Oh that other clip is funny too.

‘Cheating’ ants punished by sisters in colony, researchers find
By:Abigail Gilmore
Published On:Monday, January 26, 2009
Honesty is supposedly the best policy, and it’s no different for ants, an ASU research team learned.
In ant colonies, workers usually support the queen, the only female intended to reproduce, doctoral student Adrian Smith said. But now, it is apparent that that is not always the case, he said.
When a worker ant cheats the system by laying an egg of her own, the sister ants in the colony attack the cheater, Smith said.
“We identified a chemical that shows up on [the cheater’s] surface that is correlated with reproduction,” Smith said. “Then we tested it to see if other workers actually use that chemical to perceive that the individual has become reproductive, and they did.”
Smith conducted an experiment in which he painted a non-cheating ant with the same hydrocarbon, an organic compound made up of hydrogen and carbon, that corresponds with procreation, he said. Once the ant was reunited with her colony, the other workers attacked the ant, he said.
“Once other workers identify these cheaters, they attack them, and therefore prevent reproduction,” said Jürgen Liebig, an assistant life sciences professor. “Over time, you have 10 ants surrounding the cheater.”
But the bigger discovery here is that ant colonies, like many other societies, punish those who defy the rules, Smith said.
“Its like the common problem with all societies, an individual will do something that’s detrimental to the group as a whole, but to itself, it’s a gain,” he said.
Rebecca Clark, a doctoral student who also studies ants, said that she thinks this research is a significant advancement in the study of ant life.
“[Smith’s study] was a really nice demonstration that there’s no way to hide the fact that you’re cheating, if you’re cheating in an ant society,” Clark said.
The study was conducted with a species of ants native to Arizona, which makes it hit a little closer to home, Clark said.
“This stuff could be going on in your backyard without you even knowing it,” Clark said.
Although this study is a big step in the right direction, it doesn’t end here, Liebig said. The question now is how often this is happening, and to what extent
“We’re going to build on this,” Liebig said. “Adrian is already designing new experiments to further confirm these results.”

January 26th, 2009 at 6:33 am
Good Morning to da morning crew.
I think all the talk last night about the turtle coming out of his shell, touching cloth and gophers caused Queenie to faint. We need somebody go over and revive her. Too much of a good thing me think.
January 26th, 2009 at 6:34 am
Awe. Ankles, No "TOPLESS BABES" today?
January 26th, 2009 at 6:35 am
I think I had too much roughage last night.
January 26th, 2009 at 6:42 am
Had some Middle East food. Some of my JAPANESE friends took a trip to Europe and showed us their video. Too much going from one country to another. NCH at my age. But I would like to go if the price was right and I had that guy with me. He can speak all kine language. Right on that boy. And to think I watched him grow up *sniff sniff* I so proud of him.
Anyway we had curry balls (I dunno if was meat or grain) We had Hummus (2 types. Curry chicken kabobs, toss salad and for my picky-eater boy, pork teri. And there was this lettuce wrap with some sort of grain.
I teased him if my doctor told him to feed me Low Glycemic / High Fiber food. He and his mom works in my son and daughters old pediatricians office. It was good. I enjoyed it. Something different.
January 26th, 2009 at 6:43 am

Conspiracy Theory #2
Queenie is going to post later today so that Banana (who is the hardest of workers and does all of the Queen's biding) is punished and cannot claim 1st (even if he stayed up half the night waiting for the new post).
Maybe somebody from ASU painted Banana with some kind of hormone and the Queen is punishing him?
January 26th, 2009 at 7:11 am

January 26th, 2009 at 9:15 am
As for me, I'm 1982 born, year of the dog.
"People born in the Year of the Dog possess the best traits of human nature. They have a deep sense of loyalty, are honest, and inspire other people¡¦s confidence because they know how to keep secrets. But Dog People are somewhat selfish, terribly stubborn, and eccentric. They care little for wealth, yet somehow always seem to have money. They can be cold emotionally and sometimes distant at parties. They can find fault with many things and are noted for their sharp tongues. Dog people make good leaders. They are compatible with those born in the Years of the Horse, Tiger, and Rabbit."
I'm also a Leo, born in August, so...
"Leo are warm of spirit, eager for action and are driven by a desire to be loved for what you bring to others. Leo are a magnanimous leader and a faithful servant. Once scorned in love, however, Leo will withdraw your affections and the light, once brilliant, can go cold."

January 26th, 2009 at 10:47 am
@ Opso: I have not heard Taimane, but I've heard of her. Everyone I know who has heard her thinks she's amazing and at such a young age. I can tell you I've heard Brittni Paiva, another (slightly older) phenom, and she's is terrific - both a pleasure to talk to and a pleasure to listen to.
January 26th, 2009 at 11:05 am

Our Queen the Snake
Personality
Occupying the 6th position in the Chinese Zodiac, the Snake symbolizes such character traits as intelligence, gracefulness and materialism.
When it comes to decision-making, Snakes are extremely analytical and as a result, they don’t jump into situations. They are effective at getting the things they want, even if it means they have to scheme and plot along the way. 
Snakes are very materialistic creatures, preferring to surround themselves with the finest that life has to offer. This is especially evident in the home, where luxurious furnishings and surroundings help Snakes seek the peace they need in order to thrive.
Health
Snakes prefer living a life of calmness, preferring quietness over noise and a manageable workload rather than a schedule that’s overly-booked. Snakes become easily stressed when their lives aren’t peaceful or in order. Too much of this way of life can shorten a snake’s life!
Career
Snakes do work very hard, but they have a tendency to be job-hoppers as they become easily bored. Their somewhat laid-back attitude causes them to be mistakenly categorized as slackers, but nothing could be further from the truth! Snakes are very creative and extremely diligent. They’re excellent problem-solvers and thrive under tight deadlines. Good career choices for Snakes include: scientist, analyst, investigator, painter, potter, jeweler, astrologer, magician, dietician, and sociologist.
Relationships
Snakes are excellent seducers so they never have trouble attracting others.
However, they’ll be the ones to decide when a relationship has potential and when it does not. Once they’ve chosen a partner, a Snake’s insecure side will begin to show through. Snakes guards their chosen partners much like a prized possessions, becoming jealous and even obsessive. 
Snakes prefer to keep their feelings to themselves. It’s important to never betray a Snake’s trust as a betrayed snake will make it a goal to get even some day! 
Snakes and the 5 elements
Metal Snake – Years 1941 and 2001
Incredibly goal-oriented, Metal Snakes will stop at nothing to get that which they believe they deserve. Failure is not in their vocabularies. With their money, they’re continually acquiring more and more possessions – for themselves.
Water Snake – Years 1953 and 2013
Influential, motivated, insightful, and highly intellectual are words that best characterize Water Snakes. These Snakes work well with others and enjoy being recognized and rewarded. They’ll reveal feelings to those closest to them, but no one else.
Wood Snake – Years 1905 and 1965
Kind and genuine, these Snakes enjoy building a solid foundation of friends and family whom they love deeply and whose company they enjoy immensely. But even with all this support, Wood Snakes rarely seek the advice of others.
Fire Snake – Years 1917 and 1977
Fire Snakes are more extroverted, forever offering opinions and telling others what’s on their minds. Even so, others enjoy listening to Fire Snakes. They’re very persuasive and are especially good at convincing others that their ways are best.
Earth Snakes – Years 1929 and 1989
Earth Snakes always seem to be calm and content. They’re friendly and approachable and believe that they’ll reap great rewards by working hard and relying on common sense.
Compatibility
The Snake is compatible with a Rooster and an Ox and incompatible with a Pig and a Monkey.
January 26th, 2009 at 11:57 am
The Dragons
Personality
Occupying the 5th position in the Chinese Zodiac, the Dragon is the mightiest of the signs.
Dragons symbolize such character traits as dominance and ambition. Dragons prefer to live by their own rules and if left on their own, are usually successful. They’re driven, unafraid of challenges, and willing to take risks. They’re passionate in all they do and they do things in grand fashion. Unfortunately, this passion and enthusiasm can leave Dragons feeling exhausted and interestingly, unfulfilled. 
While Dragons frequently help others, rarely will they ask for help. Others are attracted to Dragons, especially their colorful personalities, but deep down, Dragons prefer to be alone. Perhaps that is because they’re most successful when working alone. Their preference to be alone can come across as arrogance or conceitedness, but these qualities aren’t applicable. Dragons have tempers that can flare fast!
Health
Considering their hard-working nature, Dragons are healthy overall. They do get stressed and suffer from periodic tension/headaches, likely because they take so many risks. Dragons could benefit from incorporating mild activity into their lives. Yoga or walking would be good as these activities can work both their minds and their bodies.
Career
Dragons prefer leading to being led. Jobs that allow them to express their creativity are good choices. Some good careers include: inventor, manager, computer analyst, lawyer, engineer, architect, broker, and sales person.
Relationships
Dragons will give into love, but won’t give up their independence. Because they have quick, sometimes vengeful tempers, their partners need to be tough-skinned. Dragons enjoy others who are intriguing, and when they find the right partners, they’ll usually commit to that person for life.
Dragons and the 5 elements
Metal Dragons – Years 1940 and 2000
Metal strengthens this already strong sign. Metal Dragons are more determined and they’ll fight for what they believe in. They enjoy the company of those who feel mighty enough to challenge their beliefs. They’re true leaders and usually find plenty of others willing to follow.
Water Dragons – Years 1952 and 2012
Water calms the Dragon’s fire. Water Dragons are able to see things from other points of view. They don’t have the need to always be right. Their decisions, if well-researched, are usually better since they allow other’s to become involved.
Wood Dragons – 1904 and 1964
Wood Dragons also are willing to entertain the opinions of others. Their artistic side is strong, and Wood Dragons enjoy being creative and innovative. They get along with others, but will always be the dominating force.
Fire Dragons – 1916 and 1976
A Fire Dragon’s emotions can flare instantly. Fire Dragons put themselves on pedestals, and because they react quickly and recklessly, they sometimes make wrong decisions. Fire Dragons need to slow down and keep their tempers in check as that’s when they’re best.
Earth Dragons – Years 1928 and 1988
More rooted in the ground, Earth Dragons make better decisions because they act more rationally. Earth Dragons are level-headed and able to control their behaviors. They’re more supportive of others, but they prefer being admired by others.
Compatibility
Dragons are compatible with the Monkey or Rat and incompatible with the Ox and Goat.
January 26th, 2009 at 12:05 pm
The Oxen
Personality
Occupying the 2nd position on the Chinese Zodiac, Oxen possess such character traits as dependability, strength and determination. Oxen are tolerant individuals who believe that the road to success involves hard work and scrupulous behavior; they don’t believe in taking shortcuts. They characterize those who don’t work hard as lazy individuals not worthy of respect.
Oxen are capable of trusting others and will listen to their opinions with an open mind. However, Oxen prefer making decisions that are based on their own research. Oxen favor strong, life-long alliances to casual acquaintances.
Home is where Oxen go to seek comfort, occasionally watching television(K-Dramas)
or reading. They prefer the rural outdoors and spend the majority of their “home” time working in the garden or caring for the yard.
Health
Oxen are strong individuals who overall are healthy and live long, fulfilled lives. However, they tend to work too much, rarely allowing themselves enough time to relax. Oxen could benefit from incorporating more non-work-related activity into their lives.
Career
Oxen prefer work that is routine. They take a methodological approach to their tasks and excel in jobs that are specialized. Oxen possess a keen eye for detail and an admirable work ethic. They are more productive when allowed to work alone. Good career choices for oxen include: interior designer, painter, carpenter, quarry worker, archeologist, horticulturist, mechanic, engineer, draftsman, banker, broker, real estate agent and army officer.
Relationships
Oxen aren’t very sociable and rarely participate in group activities.
They abhor small talk and won’t waste their time flirting. They will search long and hard for the perfect partner as change makes them uncomfortable. Whether due to an ox’s tendency to be overbearing or tendency to place blame on others, relationships with Oxen don’t always work out. When Oxen realize that partnerships involve two people and two points of view, satisfying matches are possible.
Oxen and the 5 elements
Metal Ox – Years 1901 and 1961
Like metal, these Oxen are amazingly strong. They’re extremely hard-working individuals who will do whatever is necessary to achieve their goals. They’re trustworthy, dependable individuals who are not likely to show emotion. They have difficulty interpreting the feelings of others.
Water Ox – Years 1913 and 1973
Water Oxen are much more flexible, and because of this quality, they’re better able to understand what others are thinking and feeling. They’re sincere, patient, quick-thinking and others enjoy being around them.
Wood Ox – Years 1925 and 1985
Wood Oxen work well as part of a team, but because of their work ethic, self-confidence and strong sense of morals, they’ll always perform better as the team’s leader. They do have a tendency to be quick-tempered and outspoken.
Fire Ox – Years 1937 and 1997
Fire Oxen are natural born leaders. In fact, they’ll often hold positions of importance at work and in the community. They have short fuses and tend to react impulsively instead of considering the opinion of others.
Earth Ox – Years 1949 and 2009
Earth Oxen are successful individuals, probably because they are diligent rather than impulsive. A more modest approach combined with their reliability and sincerity makes them more likeable.
Compatibility
Oxen are compatible with a Rat and Rooster and incompatible with a Tiger and Horse.

Dragons aren't supposed to get along with Dogs either. We're also supposed to get along with Snakes.

Da Dogs
Personality
Occupying the 11th position in the Chinese Zodiac, the Dog symbolizes character traits such as loyalty, compatibility and kindness. Dogs frequently offer kind words and useful advice, always listening and lending a shoulder when necessary.
Dogs often become deeply involved in others’ lives and are sometimes perceived as nosy. Ensuring others are happy is more important to the Dog than wealth, money or success.
Dogs are determined individuals; always wanting to master a new subject before moving on and always finishing what they start. Dogs value friendships; they’re loyal, honest, trustworthy and reliable and have strong morals and ethics.
A well-kept, organized home is very important. Keeping a clean home and helping at work stems from the Dog’s need to be active and involved. Dogs spend money wisely, passing on luxury goods in favor of practical items. Dogs also prefer saving money to cover future expenses.
Dogs at times can also be temperamental, narrow-minded and stubborn. When this happens, the Dog takes off alone in order to make things right again inside its head. Dogs can benefit by learning to relax and being more rational.
Health
A happy Dog is a healthy Dog and it’s easy to tell by the Dog’s sad or depressed appearance that it’s not feeling right. Dogs are resilient, especially when fighting illness.
Relationships
Although Dogs are trustworthy, they have trouble trusting others. It can take a long time before a Dog feels at ease with another person. When Dogs don’t build trust they’re judgmental and rough towards others.
When it comes to romance Dogs often have a tough time. Others are often scared off by the Dog’s insecure, worrisome and frequently anxious nature. Dogs are known to be cold emotionally and critical.
Career
Coworkers can always count on Dogs to help out, especially if it means the Dog will learn something new or alleviate the workload of others. Dogs are seen as valuable employees. Good career choices for Dogs include: police officer, scientist, counselor, interior designer, professor, politician, priest, nurse, clerk and Judge.
Dogs and the 5 elements
Metal Dogs – Years 1910 and 1970
Metal dogs are very committed in all they do whether it involves work or relationships. Expectations are high, both for themselves and others.
Water Dogs – Years 1922 and 1982
Less independent, Water Dogs become more self-confident when they’re part of the pack. They prefer being in the pack rather than being the pack’s leader. They’re faithful, affectionate, flexible and relaxed.
Wood Dogs – Years 1934 and 1994
Wood Dogs also prefer being part of the pack as this environment builds self-confidence. Although timid in the beginning, Wood Dogs eventually can become excellent companions. They’re easy-going and adaptable, warm-hearted faithful.
Fire Dogs – Years 1946 and 2006
Fire Dogs are true leaders. Others enjoy being in the company of Fire Dogs. They’re sexually attractive, charismatic, vibrant and confident and they always prefer to be on the go.
Earth Dogs – Years 1958 and 2018
Trustworthiness and dependability make Earth Dogs great leaders. Grounded in reality, their sense of fairness enables Earth Dogs to be supportive of others. They are confident and inspire confidence in others.
Compatibility
The Dog is most compatible with the Horse or Tiger and incompatible with the Rooster and Dragon.

Monkeys esp. from Big Island
Personality
Occupying the 9th position on the Chinese Zodiac, the Monkey possesses such character traits as curiosity, mischievousness, and cleverness.
Forever playful, Monkeys are the masters of practical jokes. Even though their intentions are always good, this desire to be a prankster has a tendency to create ill will and hurt feelings. 
Although they are inherently intellectual and creative, Monkeys at times have trouble exhibiting these qualities. When that happens, they appear to others to be confused. But nothing could be further from the truth as Monkeys thrive on being challenged. Monkeys prefer urban life to rural,
and their favorite pastime is people-watching.
Health
Believing that being sick is a waste of a valuable day, Monkeys very rarely feel ill. Their constantly active lifestyles are likely what helps Monkeys remain in good health. When Monkeys do become ill, such feelings are generally the result of feeling nervous.
Career
When it comes to work, Monkeys can do just about anything. They adapt well to changing environments and they’re very intelligent.
They work quickly, but they’ll frequently charge double for their services. Good career fields for Monkeys are accounting and banking. Other good careers for Monkeys include: scientist, engineer, stock market trader, air traffic controller, dealer, film director, jeweler and sales representative.
Relationships
When it comes to relationships, Monkeys aren’t quick to settle down. In fact, they generally are promiscuous;
a tendency that probably has to do with the fact that Monkeys are easily bored. Monkeys will end this type of behavior once they pair up with the perfect partner. In fact, more often than not, they’ll commit to that person in every way for life.
Monkeys and the 5 elements
Metal Monkey – Years 1920 and 1980
Metal Monkeys are determined and ambitious individuals and as a result, they’re often successful. Although they’re considered warm-hearted and very likeable, their preference in life is to be alone. Metal Monkeys are loyal to both their employers and their partners.
Water Monkey – Years 1932 and 1992
Water Monkeys are extremely sensitive and often feel hurt by the things that are said to them. They refuse to show their sensitive side to others and as a result, are extreme jokesters. If they can stay focused, they can succeed, but more often than not, they’re easily distracted from their goals.
Wood Monkey – Years 1944 and 2044
The Wood Monkey’s exceptional communication skills enable them to interact well with others. They’re hard workers who have a keen understanding of the way things operate.
Fire Monkey – Years 1956 and 2016
Full of strength and determination, Fire Monkeys are excellent at not only setting goals, but in meeting them as well. Others enjoy being in the company of Fire Monkeys, even though these Monkeys want the upper hand in every situation.
Earth Monkey – Years 1908 and 1968
Always the community activists, Earth Monkeys have an inherent desire to live life the “right” way. They’re very dependable and they take their work and their relationships seriously. In fact, they put forth 100% effort in everything they do. In return, Earth Monkeys expect respect from others.
Compatibility
Monkeys are compatible with a Rat or Dragon and incompatible with a Horse or Snake.

January 26th, 2009 at 12:37 pm
Me a snake toooooo.....like to eat oxes, rabbits, monkeys, dogs, pigs...don't know about dragons...I'd BEE BEEBEEQ's
January 26th, 2009 at 12:49 pm
Snakes are very materialistic creatures, preferring to surround themselves with the finest that life has to offer. This is especially evident in the home, where luxurious furnishings and surroundings help Snakes seek the peace they need in order to thrive.
Sounds like my soul mate...and she's not even a snake
It’s important to never betray a Snake’s trust as a betrayed snake will make it a goal to get even some day!
Watch out BEEs
Good career choices for Snakes include: scientist, analyst, investigator, painter, potter, jeweler, astrologer, magician, dietician, and sociologist.
Well, they got one right
January 26th, 2009 at 1:56 pm

They call um Goats??
Personality
Occupying the 8th position in the Chinese Zodiac, the Goat (or Sheep) symbolizes such character traits as creativity, intelligence, dependability, and calmness. Comfortable being alone to ponder the workings of their inner minds, Goats enjoy being part of a group, but prefer the sidelines rather than the center. Their nurturing personality makes Goats excellent care-givers. They’re quite and reserved because they spend much time absorbed in their thoughts.
Home and alone is where Goats feel most comfortable. There they can express themselves artistically, whether it’s by painting, cooking or participating in whatever artistic endeavors they enjoy. Goats prefer the couch because there they can relax and explore their minds. They don’t need elaborate furnishings; only items reflecting their desire for art.
When traveling or seeking entertainment, Goats prefer groups or venues that hold many people. Goats spend money on fashions that give them a first class appearance. Although Goats enjoy spending money on the finer things in life, they are not snobbish.
Health
Perhaps because Goats are basically serene, they tend to have fewer health problems. Their fragile exterior hides the fact they’re typically very healthy. When they’re happy, they’re healthy. When Goats become unhappy, especially as a result of romance, they quickly become sick.
Relationships
Goats tend to be private, so it can take effort to get to know one. The Goat is the one who will decide when and with whom it will share its personal life. As a result, most Goats have few “close” friends, yet they’ll work hard for those they love.
Career
Goats at work prefer being part of a flock. Power and status aren’t important. Goats will only assume leadership roles when asked directly. They’ll never volunteer. Good career choices for Goats include: florist, interior designer, daycare teacher, pediatrician, actor, editor, hair stylist, illustrator, musician, and art history teacher.
Goats and the 5 elements
Metal Goats – Years 1931 and 1991
Metal Goats are tough on the outside, fragile inside. Those close to Metal Goats understand and accept this. Metal Goats are very cultural and they’re most appreciative of the arts.
Water Goats – Years 1943 and 2003
Fun-loving and carefree, Water Goats prefer “going with the flow.” These traits make Water Goats enjoyable to be around. They prefer to put down roots. They’ll pout when things don’t go their way and they lack self-confidence.
Wood Goats – Years 1955 and 2005
Others enjoy the company of Wood Goats which is why they’re most comfortable in groups. They enjoy being helpful, but their generosity is sometimes taken advantage of. Wood Goats need to spend more time caring for their own selves.
Fire Goats – Years 1907 and 1967
Not nearly as sensitive as other Goats, Fire Goats don’t need the approval of others. Fire Goats always put themselves ahead of others. They’re social creatures who typically will have a close-knit circle of family and friends.
Earth Goats – Years 1919 and 1979
Stable with feet firmly planted in the ground, Earth Goats are conservative, independent and practical, but not very confident in themselves. Most important in life is the family and they truly enjoy all that life has to offer.
Compatibility
Goats are compatible with Rabbits and Pigs and incompatible with the Rat and Ox.

January 26th, 2009 at 4:18 pm
I was walking around downtown after a meeting this morning. I saw an old couple with gold chains and big fur coats walking with this local guy, late 40's. They were talking all sweet to the guy, looking like they were trying to talk him into something. The 3 of them got into this purple lowered Cadillac with dice in the mirror and headed towards Diamond Head. Canadian license plate. Funny thing, the local guy lowered the window and threw something out of the window as they sped off. I went and picked it up. You'll never guess what it was.....
A Jesus pamphlet.
January 26th, 2009 at 4:31 pm

I saw a silver 'vette on my way home this evening and I thought of Ankles!
Ynaku, I one dragon, so I could light you on fire (not that way
) 'cuz I certainly have the average dragon's temper, but wasn't me!
I wonder if QB is performing an experiment on us: how long can the Hive amuse itself without her participation? Will we call our own lucky numbers? Will Snow and Banana continue to peck at each other? Will Teejay and OL rant unabated? Will Jack continue to smile behind his shades? Will the Musketeers show up without her calling them out? Will Doofus continue to snipe? For the answers to these and other pressing questions, we need . . . Our Queen! (Same BEE time, same BEE channel . . . )

Ynaku, I nomo poi, but dat's okay. Mix da salty wit da sweet - mmmm, mea ono! (No, not li'dat!)
January 26th, 2009 at 6:45 pm
The hotties are on "The Insiders"
teejay,Angelina is on.
January 26th, 2009 at 6:45 pm
opso: haha, yeah, ynaku caught on too fast, i thought the same thing too.
ynaku: oh man, that plate lunch (dinner) is sounding good...must mean that it's almost time for me to head home to hawaii! yeah, after some salty/strong tasting food, gotta have the sweetness. haupia, ice cream, cookies...it's all good. shari shima, nah, gotta pass on that. i wonder what astrological sign she is...
kan: yeah, i never got that choco-covered ika strips...i always used to think to myself, "who da heck would eat dat?!?!?!" and den i go "home" to oahu and den i open the fridge and my roommate has a whole bag of that stuff.
January 26th, 2009 at 6:46 pm
Das ok KAN, gotta lay off the starch. Doctor's orders
January 26th, 2009 at 6:47 pm
Ynaku says:
Wow, so you now you're CHARGING us to read your complaint?
WWD? (Sorry, wrong blog.)
January 26th, 2009 at 6:48 pm
So what, HSiBoy, did you try it? What did roomie think of it? Did s/he buy it or was it given to him/her?
January 26th, 2009 at 6:49 pm
ynaku: congrats on BEEing the new #6!
watch out, poke too much and you going get guys in fur coats riding up in purple caddys with crush velvet interiors looking to drop some pamphlets on you...
January 26th, 2009 at 6:50 pm
I receive free, I give free
January 26th, 2009 at 6:51 pm
Um, HSiBoy, not like I have a lot of experience with this, mind you, but the guys with the plush purple Caddies wearing fur coats and gold chains are probably NOT handing out Jesus Books. You're probably not old enough to remember Starsky and Hutch's buddy Huggy Bear, but you get the general idea.
January 26th, 2009 at 6:52 pm
Hey I never notice
CHEE HOO I da new #6.
Who like share with me?
January 26th, 2009 at 6:53 pm

hsib - you returning to hawaii awready? no, no.....not yet.....you have to stay there and get in some snowboarding. you must!
January 26th, 2009 at 6:56 pm

Don't they know this is a hotel? Sheesh, my walls shaking.
January 26th, 2009 at 6:56 pm
huggy bear? his son is Justin Fargas.....a running back for hsib's Rrrrrraidahs.
January 26th, 2009 at 6:56 pm
kan: i asked her, "you actually bought that and you eat that?" and she said yeah, she likes it a lot and it goes well together. i didn't try it although i was tempted. only had couple pieces left and i had to practice enryo yeah? no can take the last piece. but she enjoys it i guess. and she's pretty darn picky on her food (she works at an upscale restaurant and she and her bf enjoy the good life). but for myself, i tried the choco-covered iso peanuts and that was pretty good.
January 26th, 2009 at 6:57 pm
NKHEA, I never call Dennis. He dunno we stay hea in Kona. No like make plans since in Today out Wednesday but I also work tomorrow night.
January 26th, 2009 at 7:00 pm
Yes, Ynaku, I AM showing my age. Why do you think I don't call you UNCLE Ynaku? You only lilo bit older dan me, I think.
HSiBoy, have you ever tried chocolate-covered potato chips? I thought they were really weird until my mom sent me some. Wow, they were good. Salty and sweet, same time. Plus crunchy. Winnahs.
'kay, I gotta get some stuffs done tonight before bedtime, so I'll check back in latahs.
January 26th, 2009 at 7:02 pm
Ynaku........I stay! I keep you company for a bit. What hotel you at?

kan: huggy bear?!?! i heard of that show (and they made a recent movie too, right?) but i'm not familiar with the nuances of the show. but i get the caddie all right
zoot suits and feather fedoras. oh, and of course the poke. not pok-e, poke. 
opso: man, my raiders are in a sad state. plus i have to endure everyone here wearing their chargers' tshirts and driving their SUVs with chargers' bumper stickers.
i going cheer for da steelers! 
January 26th, 2009 at 7:05 pm
Hey OL, I stay King Kamehameha Hotel. One wing still closed for renovation. This wing pretty old. They supposed to renovate after they open the other side. They said was supposed to bee done in 6 months. That was 1 yr ago.
Mostly construction workers staying here. Few tourists.

January 26th, 2009 at 7:12 pm
Queenie must BEE "off" today. The LEAST she coulda done is put a new topic up...something like:
"Warts...........how many have you had so far?" or
"Farts..........do they really smell if you say "Excuse Me" BEEfore you let loose?"
OL........Queenie has "abandoned" her responsibilities
January 26th, 2009 at 7:13 pm
Oh Buffet only open Friday to Sunday. They do have the Luau on Tuesday.
January 26th, 2009 at 7:16 pm
Ynaku,
Say "Hi" to Mr. Coors for me. He came over this evening and I told him "Howzit" a couple of times. I betchu he's over dere in Kona now next to Mr. Heine.
You have fun and stay safe.
OL........Wishing he were in Kona

January 26th, 2009 at 7:18 pm
Thanks OL, Mr Heine says hello to Mr. Coors. I go visit his cousins downstairs Pool Bar now.
See you laters.
January 26th, 2009 at 7:56 pm
king kam hotel? wow, that hotel really does need a facelift. i remember going there and just wanting to stare at the 1062.5 pound world record blue marlin on 50lb test line caught by the ihu nui boat. and then swimming in the little cove they have and seeing all the o'ama there.
well have fun at the pool ynaku!
January 26th, 2009 at 8:29 pm

January 26th, 2009 at 10:08 pm
Good Evening All!!
I miss our Queen!! Small scones and all. I admit it.
Shari Shima said she's an Ox. So that makes her around 47 or 48.
I had the biggest local celebrity crush on her back in the day. She was about 30 back then.
And anklebiters, thanks for the Alice in Chains. "Would?" is my fave song from them. Too bad the lead singer OD'd.....
January 26th, 2009 at 10:15 pm
PECK PECK PECK PECK PECK PECK PECK
Awww man, too late.

POKE POKE POKE POKE POKE POKE POKE
January 26th, 2009 at 10:42 pm
Hello hello hello!!!
I'm SO SO sorry I'm only checking in now. I did have to enjoy my weekend today so I'm sure you all understand, right?
bamboohouse808: Thanks for the Chinese astrology!! I love reading those things. The snake one is interesting. I could see how some of those characteristics are spot on... which ones? Hmm... I guess that's a secret.
You miss me and my small scones? Whatchu implying? Small is better than nothing? 
KAN: Yup, I was taking a day off!
Thank you for really helping to keep the conversation going!! I think you can handle the BEES all on your own... And I wish people picked up on your statements... I wonder if QB is performing an experiment on us: how long can the Hive amuse itself without her participation? Will we call our own lucky numbers? Will Snow and Banana continue to peck at each other? Will Teejay and OL rant unabated? Will Jack continue to smile behind his shades? Will the Musketeers show up without her calling them out? Will Doofus continue to snipe?...
honda si boy: When do you get back from vacation? Looking forward to all those pictures you are taking and trying to get!
Scott: So how many calls did you get from hopeful women tonight?
You're a brave one! Looking forward to your guys' review! Make sure to get some fun photos of yourselves. MayBEE more women will respond to O&E when they see your handsome face. Make sure your partner doesn't ruin the effect... especially if they don't have a big, bright white smile! 
New lucky number: #667
I just cannot ask someone to BEE #666. Scary!!
January 26th, 2009 at 10:47 pm
Ocean Lover: You could've posed those warts and farts questions!! Just like your bathroom situation... Unfortunately I'm also "shame" and I'd rather hold it!
honda si boy and BananaFysh: IF SSH did that fart thing, I'd think, "Well everyone has to take a s***... but your too-good-to-BEE-true handsome face makes up for all other things... Just wrap your muscular arms around me, look lovingly into my eyes, whispers sweet nothings in my ear... oh wait, what am I doing sharing my fantasy on here? Eep!!
January 26th, 2009 at 10:48 pm
Yeah!! Life is Good Again!!
January 26th, 2009 at 10:51 pm
snow: What's up with all the pecking and poking!?! Glad to see you continue to poke (not that kind) fun at Banana! You make me so proud! *sniff sniff*
Ynaku: Thanks for still checking in even when at a hotel with slow Internet speed! So is it super chilly tonight?
Ukuhead: I saw "Love Story in Harvard" ... that's the same girl in "Stairway to Heaven." I don't like those half-English dramas cause the accent is kinda bad...
Looks like everyone went to bed...
Will BEE on tomorrow to chat with everyone!!
LAST!!
January 26th, 2009 at 10:52 pm
bamboohouse808: Saved a TRAY of small scones for you!
Now go to sleep!
LAST LAST!!
January 26th, 2009 at 10:52 pm
Well, well, well, look at what the cat dragged in!
Welcome back, Queenie!
I'll have you know we were worried sick! Do you know what time it is, not-so-young-lady!?!?!
Not even a phone call!
Ha ha!
Hope you had a fun day away from us. Scrub.
January 26th, 2009 at 10:54 pm
Oh, are we going to play this "last" game here now? grrr
I still think if you walked into a putrid stench generated by your man SSH you would faint from the smell.
January 26th, 2009 at 10:55 pm
BananaFysh: Why didn't you put out an APB??
I was getting myself into a lot of trouble not chained to the computer! Just kidding!! GOOD girls don't get into trouble!! 
January 26th, 2009 at 10:55 pm
zzzzzz.......zzzzzzzzz...........mmmm.....scones..........zzzzz.....zzzzzz
January 26th, 2009 at 10:56 pm
So, are you going to share what you did today?
I hope it wasn't another all day Dr. Mario marathon!
January 26th, 2009 at 10:56 pm
BananaFysh: Didn't you know that I have a stuffed nose so I can't breathe the stink stuff as much as normal people!
Heh heh!!
Good night, go to sleep!
LAST!
Wait, keep the blog going till at least past #700!!
Go, Banana, go!!!
January 26th, 2009 at 10:58 pm
@Shauna -
Don't you mean an AP-BEE?
So, what kind of trouble did you get into then?
I know you say GOOD girls don't get into trouble, so where does that leave you? 
January 26th, 2009 at 10:59 pm
bamboohouse808: Wait a minute, there are some crumbs on your lower lip there...
Want some warm milk to wash it all down? Eww!! Who drinks warm milk anymore? Kitty cats??
BananaFysh: Oh yeah, I appreciate the genuine concern... BTW, I know which comment had you really rolling your eyes and fainting today!!
No Dr. Mario but I did try Wii Fit... Did that hula hoop game! What a hip workout!!
Night night!
January 26th, 2009 at 11:03 pm
oh.my.gawd. look who decided to drop in! sheesh. made us all worried ovah hea.
QB: vacation ends on wednesday. and what a way to end. straight from the airport to drop off my bags and head straight to school to work and go to class. ugh.
still no word on the food pics from my aunty. i have a feeling it's not going to happen
oh, and LAST!
January 26th, 2009 at 11:06 pm
@Shauna -
I kinda figured so. I met you, remember? I think you forgot the deodorant that day.
Kidding!
Oh, as for the fainting comment, it's even worse than you think, for other reasons. Very troubling for me, BEElieve me.
I haven't played WiiFit in a while. Hula hoop is a killer. Got video of you playing?
January 26th, 2009 at 11:06 pm
shauna: i love warm milk. heat to 180 degrees, add to signature chocolate blend, add single shot of espresso, top with a dab of whipped cream, serve immediately! mmmmm.
oooo, wii fit. sounds like fun! mayBEE you'll BEE part 2 of the viral video of the wii fit on youtube. hahaha. make sure no one was taking video of you while you were doing the hula hoop action!
January 26th, 2009 at 11:07 pm
honda si boy: Did you think BL kidnapped me?? Kidding! Gee, I hope your plane doesn't get delayed since you're on a tight schedule!! And don't you have a "little date" to look forward to... Heh heh!!
LAST!!
BananaFysh: Hope you didn't update the spreadsheet yet. In fact, just ink in my name already!! Oh yeah, AP-BEE!!
January 26th, 2009 at 11:08 pm
@bamboohouse - mayBEE Shauna should change her name to "Ambien." or "AmBEEin."
January 26th, 2009 at 11:11 pm
@HSiB - Ho braddah, cutting it close on the vacation, eh?
I like San Diego. I got to go a few years ago for work. Got to hang around the convention center for a week.
I did run away to have fun though. 
January 26th, 2009 at 11:13 pm
@Shauna - What choo talking about updating the spreadsheet?
It's up to date! Are you planning on hanging around to hit the next lucky number?
I'll BEElieve it when I see it. 
January 26th, 2009 at 11:15 pm
Queenie was kidnapped by BL? What?!?
Did I miss something?
January 26th, 2009 at 11:16 pm
Banana - For me, she can be AmBEEin. For others, she can BEE ExTenze or Enzyte. hahahahahahaha
January 26th, 2009 at 11:22 pm
@bamboohouse - oh, then Queenie would be BEEalice.
All I know is, she makes life hard for me!
But not in a good way!

I had to go get mt purple low rider caddy out of the parking garage. I was having a new pair of gold plated horns put on for a hood ornament.
Yeah, that's right.
The guy who did the install was so nice, he gave me a new chalice for free! Now that's what I'm talkin' about!
