Calling out all the players...
July 8th, 2009 by ShaunaGames can be addicting, whether online or the traditional way — board games, cards or charade types.
As many of you probably know from previous comments, a bunch of us are hooked on Bejeweled Blitz on Facebook. Not only is the game addicting, a leaderboard lets you see the current scores of all your friends. It’s fun to try and beat your friends even though scores are reset every week.
I love games!! Yet it’s hard to say what makes me want to try the game. There has to be something about it that just pulls you in and makes you wanna say “Let me try” as soon as you see it.
How about you? Like the challenge some games present? There’s a new one coming out that’s all the rage and is said to be "incredibly complicated"...
Rubik's Cube inventor creates new puzzle
UPI
LONDON — The inventor of the Rubik's Cube is about to confound the world with a new puzzle called The 360, an executive at Rubik brand said in England.
"It doesn't need batteries and looks as though it should be quite easy," said David Hedley, the brand's vice president. "But it is incredibly complicated. There are some really cunning tricks to it."
The 360, which goes on sale next week, was invented by Erno Rubik, 64, the reclusive Hungarian professor who has sold an estimated 350 million Rubik Cubes since 1980, The Daily Telegraph reported Monday.
With Rubik's new game, players must get six colored balls from an inner sphere into matching slots on an outer sphere by moving them through a middle sphere with just two holes.
The London toy store Hamleys already has had thousands of inquiries about The 360, Nigel Wheatley, the store's head of sales, said.
"I expect thousands to be sold in days," Wheatley told the newspaper.

And here's another game story, this one with an exorbitant price!
Paying more than $17,000 for less than 7 minutes of play
By Mike Smith
Yahoo, plugged in
Think $60 video games are too expensive? You won't hear any argument from us, but you might from JJ Hendricks, a collector who just paid a clinically insane $17,500 for an obscure NES game from 1990.
The game in question is an ultra-rare, gold-colored version of Nintendo World Championships, a cartridge specially produced for use in a Nintendo-sponsored gaming contest. According to Wikipedia only 26 were created, and Hendricks calls it the "Holy Grail" of video game collectors.
The game itself has a time limit of just 6 minutes and 21 seconds and consists of three short segments from other NES games: Super Mario Bros., Tetris, and Rad Racer. Players are scored according to their performance in each game, and their scores are totaled once the time limit expires. Doesn't sound too riveting to us, but then somehow we doubt Hendricks is in it for the gameplay.
And while $17,500 might seem a bit much for a collection of ones and zeroes, Hendricks actually got a bargain: the game was originally listed on eBay for a cool $25,000.

Are you good at solving the Rubik's cube? When was the last time you played with one?
What kind of games do you enjoy? Brain teasers? Interactive ones? Action/fighting games?
What platforms do you prefer or have at home? PlayStation? Wii?
One of my favorite online games is Zuma, in which you shoot colored balls to clear a deadly chain. There are more than a dozen levels and a variety of different mazes to work through. I thought it was only available on PCs but in doing some background research for this post, I learned it is now offered for Macs! Other top games for me are: Dr. Mario on Nintendo, Scattergories (board game), Trumps (cards) and Wheel of Fortune (game show).

July 8th, 2009 at 12:16 am
hi banana, qb, and hsib!
July 8th, 2009 at 12:17 am
Dang it!!! I been refreshing for the last couple minutes... New post finally comes up and cannot even crack top 5!!! CONSPIRACY!!!! BWAHAHAHA
July 8th, 2009 at 12:19 am
That new puzzle from Rubik looks interesting.
I was in intermediate school when the original came out. I had to buy the book to learn how to solve it, but after I did, I memorized the patterns to solve it in under 3 minutes.
I played with one a couple of months ago, and I can solve most of it, but I forget the patterns for solving the "bottom layer."
MLC! haha!
July 8th, 2009 at 12:19 am
whoa, old school nintendo games! i still have my (working) nintendo system. although it works, i still have to slide in that extra cartridge over the main one to get it to play. my roommate has the ps3 and the wii.
as for games, i like strategy RPG games...like nobunaga's ambition, x-com (for the old school PC), sim city...stuff like that. i also like(d) doom 2 and halo. for non-computer games, i like brain teasers. it makes me feel as if i'm keeping my brain exercised properly!
July 8th, 2009 at 12:21 am
Hello all!
I guess I got lucky I dropped in when I did.
July 8th, 2009 at 12:21 am
BF: isn't one strategy for the rubix cube to look at the middle square on each side as that will never change? i forget. and as a fellow movie/video guy, i'm assuming you saw "the pursuit of happyness?"
July 8th, 2009 at 12:21 am
as for games, i've been hooked on bejeweled (in the past, i don't know if i could resist bejeweled blitz!), zuma, luxor, tetris (gameboy), and, old school, galaxians and space invaders! i don't like puzzles like rubrics cubes, though. oh, and i used to really love pacman! i can hear that music in my head now!
we only have a playstation and nintendo ds' at home. no wii, though maybe i'd get one in the future. gotta clean house first to make space!
July 8th, 2009 at 12:22 am
wow, lots of people not getting an early bedtime tonight!
July 8th, 2009 at 12:23 am
(pssst... hey, who told ukuhead that a new post was up??
)
July 8th, 2009 at 12:23 am
snow: What ODD timing!! The important thing is you are here now representing the lovely honeyBEEs that we are!!
Ukuhead: Conspiracy?? Wrong blog! And you're starting to laugh like our dear friend, HNL2LAS!!
BananaFysh: There's a pattern to solving the cube???? And you memorized them?!?!
honda si boy: Who do you play with? Yourself?? I'm talking about the Nintendo games, etc...
July 8th, 2009 at 12:23 am
oh... uuhhh... hi ukuhead!
*drats*
July 8th, 2009 at 12:24 am
Whoa, I can't imagine dropping that kinda cash for a NES cartridge! Or ANY video game, for that matter!
17 grand would buy me a whole lot of home theater though.
July 8th, 2009 at 12:25 am
sup!
ho......all da vampires and one vampiress stay out!
July 8th, 2009 at 12:25 am
snow: See, that's why we just click! As I mentioned in this post, I just love Zuma. But Pac-Man has always been my favorite arcade game!!! They used to have it at D&Bs. They still have the sit-down one at Spaghetti Factory! I also love Tetris and Galaxians!! Luxor sounds good though I don't know what it is...
July 8th, 2009 at 12:26 am
qb - what? you said ukuhead laughs like HNL2LAS? noooo... not possible!! ukuhead can't be anything like our sweet HNL2LAS!
of course, though, ukuhead's been known to have a split personality... oh wait... wasn't he last to get to ryan's????? hmmm... i might have to give this a little more thought! 
July 8th, 2009 at 12:26 am
opso: Eh, can you count? Got TWO vampiresses out!!
BananaFysh: MayBEE that guy doesn't go out so he has a lot of extra money??
July 8th, 2009 at 12:27 am
sheesh.....the original rubiks cube was hard enough!
i was like BF and used da cheat sheet to do it and sorta memorized it. then i would show some ODDah peeps and whop their jaws. haha!
July 8th, 2009 at 12:27 am
@Shauna: High Five your comment to hsib about who he plays with. LOL
@hsib: I handed the baton to Shauna
Did anyone get #197 on previous post? That's the winning number.
July 8th, 2009 at 12:27 am
hey, opso! wow, full crew tonight!
July 8th, 2009 at 12:28 am
hi hi sally! hey, no insomnia tonight, i hope!!
July 8th, 2009 at 12:28 am
snow: be nice... I'm watching
July 8th, 2009 at 12:28 am
oh sorry.....i thot you went go sleep awready. but i guess you getting your fix of bejeweled in.
July 8th, 2009 at 12:30 am
um.....make that 3 vampiresses now.
July 8th, 2009 at 12:30 am
@HSiB -- I used to solve the cube by "layers." I used to solve the white face on top, and work my way down. I can still solve to the second layer, and can put the corners on the bottom layer in the correct place, but it's the last 4 "edges" on that bottom layer that I forget the patterns for.
My friends and I used to race to solve when I was in school. That was pretty fun. If you had one of the knock-offs and not the "genuine cube," sometimes it would break apart if you twisted it and the pieces weren't aligned just so.
Oh, and I haven't seen that movie.
That's the Wil Smith one, right?
July 8th, 2009 at 12:31 am
shauna: isn't that how you end all discombobulated posts???
July 8th, 2009 at 12:31 am
qb - luxor is pretty similar to zuma. my BIL introduced me to the game when he heard i was addicted to zuma. thanks to him for making me stay up late, many many nights! i want to play bejeweled blitz, too, but i'm afraid of what i might do to myself! ha ha!
July 8th, 2009 at 12:32 am
shauna: how rude! are you asking if i play with myself?!??! no no, no barry here.
most of the games i play are fine with one player. nobunaga's ambition has you as a japanese daimyo trying to rule japan. you probably know simcity. sports games against other players are ok, but i'd rather go outside and play real football or basketball. games like halo or doom i usually play with my friends.
July 8th, 2009 at 12:32 am
3 .... 3 vampiresses! Nyah-ha-ha!
July 8th, 2009 at 12:33 am
I never was a Rubik's gal. Was afraid to kill brain cells. My sis in law emails me some games off of Stumble. Fun for awhile then I get over it. I played Bejeweled (was gonna abbrev it but thought better of it) when AOL had it. Not on FB so don't play it there. Maybe I got ADD?
My eyeballs are falling.
@Snow, we needed you earlier tonight.
July 8th, 2009 at 12:34 am
qb - it would be crazy to play a game like scattergories at a triad party! i used to play pictionary with my friends and we'd be crying from laughing so hard by the time it was over!
July 8th, 2009 at 12:34 am
Shauna #197!!! Congratulations, what prize are you giving yourself?
July 8th, 2009 at 12:34 am
BF: hahaha, oh man, that must BEE traumatizing to a school kid to find out that his/her parents bought them a counterfeit rubix cube after it falls apart in the heat of battle!
yup, the movie is the will smith one. i mentioned it cause his character solves the rubix cube real easily! and he does it with nice clean teeth!
July 8th, 2009 at 12:35 am
sally: Uh-oh! You woke up! I went back and claimed #197 and have a sweet dessert waiting for the next winner!
opso/BananaFysh: I still can't BEElieve there was a cheat sheet!! We need to have a Rubik's cube contest at the next get together!!
snow: I know what you mean about getting hooked. I'm debating if I want to buy Zuma!! I'm worried I may never leave the computer. I probably have carpal tunnel as I'm already chained to my computer all day!
July 8th, 2009 at 12:36 am
Pictionary is fun! For added fun, add in some "adult words."
hee hee hee

honda si boy: So you do a lot of solo playing? I'm just clarifying what you said!
sally: Thanks for the fist bump on the honda si boy comment! And yeah, don't know if you want to get hooked on BJ!!
July 8th, 2009 at 12:38 am
bananafysh - adult pictionary?
sometimes you have people who draw so badly that you could get pictures like that without trying! but, yikes... you'd actually have to guess out loud, eh? 
July 8th, 2009 at 12:38 am
me.....i also like RPGs. especially the Grand Theft Auto series. i like the free roaming aspect of those. so i can go all vigilante and smoke all dem perps at will. haha!
also played Elder Scrolls 4 Oblivion, and currently playing Godfather 2.
i also played some FPSs like Doom 3, Far Cry and Crysis. some of the Need 4 Speed series is good too.
looking to get a NASCAR game too.
July 8th, 2009 at 12:39 am
@HSiB -- Ahhh, nice clean teeth are over-rated.
haha!
Yeah, that cube falling apart in your hands is almost as bad as hiding cigars in your diaper, and smoking the wrong "cigar."
July 8th, 2009 at 12:39 am
sally - yeah, shucks, my son was on the computer until after 11! but, at least he finished his take home exam for summer school!
July 8th, 2009 at 12:40 am
sally: honda si boy won the chocolate lava cake with its hot erupting layers of liquid sweetness...
snow/BananaFysh: Scattegories and Pictionary would BEE fun with a slight adult version...
OK, I better go to bed as I almost did a double shift today!
sally/snow: You keep the BEES in line!
July 8th, 2009 at 12:40 am
bananafysh said:
guess it depends which "cigar" you BEE smoking...
July 8th, 2009 at 12:41 am
whoa, i'm getting ganged up on from sally and shauna! S&S twins! what's going on here?!?!?!? hahahaha! uhmmm, and what's this about getting hooked on BJ?!?!?!
how dangerous to go down that abbreviation with BF and the gang lurking here!
shauna: thanks for the cake!
with me being all solo, i think i need to find someone to play with...like i mentioned in the previous post! it's hard!
July 8th, 2009 at 12:41 am
@snow: no insomnia, will be hitting the hay pretty after this. Zuma! I played that on AOL too. I like the sound ZOOOMAH!
@BananaFysh: Ever tried Playdoh Pictionary? Instead of drawing, you make the object out of Playdoh. My friend had the word chicken and made the sorriest looking Playdoh Chicken but someone guessed it. Then I had rooster. So I took his chicken and added anatomy. TaDa! Rooster! LOL
Oyasumi everyone!
July 8th, 2009 at 12:42 am
qb - good night!
*wondering what clean teeth have to do with it*
July 8th, 2009 at 12:43 am
good night sally! get a good night's sleep!
July 8th, 2009 at 12:43 am
I have Wii and the new DS -- The DSi. That thing is fun! It has a camera, and you can record short audio clips and alter the sounds. It has some amusement value there.
The bad thing about the camera is that it makes a loud "shutter noise" that you can't shut off. I guess that's so pervs can't get their "panty shots" on the sly.
Not that I would ever do that of course!
July 8th, 2009 at 12:45 am
*wondering if hsib can handle all that sweetness erupting from his chocolate lava cake!*
July 8th, 2009 at 12:45 am
snow: hahaha! now wouldn't you BEE too innocent to play BF's pictionary game? heehee.
BF: ooo, that would BEE horrible to smoke the wrong "cigar"...now what movie was it that the pool cleaner finds the floating chocolate candy bar floating in the pool where everyone else thought it was a piece of doodoo but the pool cleaner guy picked it up and ate it? argh, i can't think of the title...
July 8th, 2009 at 12:45 am
oooh.....pictionary is fuuuun. we used play that alot at party. they guys would always beat the girls. hmm....i can't imagine why.
pr0nadult pictionary would BEE awesome!again......the guys would garans ika ball barans win that no problemo. haha!!
oooh....challenge!!
July 8th, 2009 at 12:46 am
bananafysh - my son has the new DSi. i was thinking of trading my DS in but i wasn't sure if it would be worth it.
July 8th, 2009 at 12:47 am
Good night Sally and Queenie!
Try not to have too many BJ dreams.
Oh, I like that game Cranium too, and it has a game that's like that Play-doh Pictionary.
That's pretty fun! Gee, haven't played Cranium in a while ... if you haven't seen it BEEfore you should definitely give it a look see.
July 8th, 2009 at 12:48 am
opso - the guys would always beat the girls at pictionary? that's unheard of!! (to me!) challenge???? hey, but get more BBDs den honeyBEEs!
*BBD version of pictionary might BEE embarassing
*
July 8th, 2009 at 12:49 am
g'nite Queenie and Sally!
hsib - wasn't that Caddyshack?
July 8th, 2009 at 12:51 am
BananaFysh - Playdoh Pictionary sounds interesting! I think I've played Cranium before... but, of course, I can't really remember! Ha ha!
July 8th, 2009 at 12:54 am
snow - i guess cause da guys were pretty much on da same wavelength. get to the gist of it......quick and dirty using whatever means necessary.
whereas da girls would take a long roundabout way to try and draw the word and try to draw it too nicely.
July 8th, 2009 at 12:54 am
opso: ooo, was it that movie? i'll have my roommate netflix that one and i'll watch it! while i'm eating my burger from the counter...and trying not to get a wiff of BF's "cigar." hahaha!
July 8th, 2009 at 12:55 am
@snow -- If you play the Game Boy Advance games on your DS, then the upgrade to the DSi isn't worth it.
I bought it because the screen was a little bigger, and I wanted to play with the camera.
July 8th, 2009 at 12:56 am
ukuhead - i only said i was nice to the honeyBEEs!
but, i stil got my halo ON! and, hey... congrats, you got the lucky number #27!
*adjusting the bobby pins on my halo
and wondering if i need to BEE nice to ukuhead because he got lucky

July 8th, 2009 at 12:56 am

July 8th, 2009 at 12:57 am
opso and BF: a'ight! opso beat out the two video store clerks!!! hahaha!
July 8th, 2009 at 12:58 am
opso - aaaahhh, i see. i guess when i used to play, it was the opposite 'cause i was playing with a bunch of guys who were art majors and could draw really well! me, i draw like cr*p, so i draw fast! ha ha!
July 8th, 2009 at 1:00 am
hsib - HA HA HA!! that is totally how it would BEE and totally funny!! cracked me up just thinking about it!
July 8th, 2009 at 1:01 am
bananafysh - hmmm... maybe just keep my DS for now. i like it, it's pink.
ha ha!
July 8th, 2009 at 1:02 am
oh! i remember that scene from caddyshack! i still thought it was gross, even if it was chocolate! yuck, cooties on that thing!
July 8th, 2009 at 1:03 am
snow: haven't got lucky yet. soon though
July 8th, 2009 at 1:04 am
I have a friend who is AWESOME at guessing stuff! I swear she cheats or has psychic abilities.
We were playing Cranium in that Play-Doh Pictionary like-game, and her team rolled the clay into a ball, and she guessed "Saturn."
AND SHE WAS RIGHT!!! Worship The Fruit, man!?!?! No "ring around the planet" or anything. Just a ball.
No can. She cheat.
July 8th, 2009 at 1:04 am
hsib - i forgot to answer you... yes, i would BEE too innocent to play BBD pictionary!
i could draw fast but i'd lose BEEcause i wouldn't know any answers!!
July 8th, 2009 at 1:06 am
@snow -- I think the DS has a better battery life than the DSi too. So that might BEE worth it there.
I would think you would want the larger screen, however.
Just guessing. hee hee hee
July 8th, 2009 at 1:06 am
BF - haha! yeah the baby ruth. mmm....
snow - yeah.....one time my friend thought that her mom......who is an arteest would BEE good at pictionary and wanted her to play on her team. but she would take long time and try draw all fancy shmancy n stuff and my friend would get all mad/impatient with her. haha! too funny.
July 8th, 2009 at 1:07 am
ukuhead - getting #27 might be as lucky as you're going to get! don't be greedy!
*calling mrs. ukuhead to warn her
*
July 8th, 2009 at 1:10 am
bananafysh - why would i need a larger screen? i could still hold it the same length away...
ha! maybe i gotta take a look at my son's one again... of course, i didn't even notice the screen size on his DSi!
July 8th, 2009 at 1:14 am
@snow -- Oh, I just thought your arm might BEE a lil' "too short" for the DS, so the bigger screen would BEE better.
haha!
Oh, you almost made me spit all over my screen when you mentioned you would BEE "too innocent" to play BBD Pictionary!
July 8th, 2009 at 1:14 am
opso - when i played pictionary with my artist friends, i had the word "discus" come up. i drew a circle with all these lines behind it (to show that it was flying, of course!) and my team won that word. i turned around and one of the guys had drawn this muscular greek-looking guy in that discus-throwing pose... wow! it was super awesome... but he took too long and they lost! awww... i laughed but i knew we would win after seeing that! lol...
July 8th, 2009 at 1:15 am
hsib - i teenk you and BF only Vividly
remembah da pr0n vids dass why. 
July 8th, 2009 at 1:16 am
@opso -- Funny about the "arteest" making the picture all nice and stuff.
I admit, sometimes I'm guilty of that too.
Sometimes, just gotta draw the stick man, yeah?
July 8th, 2009 at 1:18 am
bananafysh - oh, at the rate i'm going, i'm gonna need the DS in laptop size! ha ha! and, what? i assume i nearly made you spit on your screen BEEcause you didn't think i'd be so bold to announce that i was so innocent... ??? of course, i know it wasn't necessary BEEcause it BEE quite evident, right?
July 8th, 2009 at 1:19 am
woo hoo! banana, we gotta play pictionary! you can make all your nice-y nice drawings for your team!
July 8th, 2009 at 1:19 am

@snow -- I think you made a puka in your screen with your nose after that "innocent" comment.
July 8th, 2009 at 1:22 am
bananafysh - sorry, i don't think you're as convincing as i am. not that anyone needs to be convinced about me.
July 8th, 2009 at 1:23 am

Good Morning Ynaku, anklebiters and da hive!
Wow, the vampire crew was out in full force last night!
My son loves the Rubik's cube. He has every shape and style, 3x3, 4x4, 6x6, round, pyramid, octagon and he would love this new new one too. He can solved all of them and the 3x3 cube in under 30 sec.
We have the PS2 and the Wii and I have never played any games on them.

Good Morning hanapaa!

CarColor Personality Test? What about white, because that's the color of the car that I got really really cheap w/ really really low mileage?
July 8th, 2009 at 6:34 am
WHO'S ADDICTED TO Bejeweled Blitz on FB? I only got past the 75K mark
What games do I like playing? How about Spin da Bottle with FEMALE hotties?
We have at home PS2, the Wii, Nintendo DS, playing cards (you remember those right?)
As for the rubik cube. forget it, no patience or talent. Too much thinking hurts my brain. My brain tired from the mental strain at work. best have a few beeas to relax.
July 8th, 2009 at 6:43 am
I go to bed by 9:30-10:00. No can stay up late, gotta get up by 5am. I don't really post after I get home from work, things to do and spend time with kids and masako.
July 8th, 2009 at 6:57 am
Holy cats Hive! Lots of "work" by the vampire crew last night!
Snow, girl, you were totally on a roll!!! Fist bumps for ##54, 65, 75, and 100!

July 8th, 2009 at 7:01 am
I like games, but I get totally obsessive-compulsive about them. The only electronic game I got totally and completely hooked on was Tetris, waaaaaay back in the day when I played it on my 286 laptop. (The 286 was obsolete even when I got it.) I'm afraid to get hooked on any new games. I hold the distinction in my age group of NEVER having played Space Invaders. I used to like watching my friends play, especially one friend who used to add her own sound effects.
I like most card games (old school - shows why I belong on MLC).
July 8th, 2009 at 7:15 am
Good Morning
Wow...busy BEES last night.
I was never good at solving the Rubik's cube. I think I was able to solve only two sides. So I always took apart the Rubik's cube pieces and put all the same colors back together. That was my way of solving the puzzle.
I enjoyed playing sudoku, bejeweled, and majong solitare. I have a PS3 and Wii at home and mainly play first person shooters, sports and racing games on the PS3. On the Wii I just have the Wii fit and super mario kart. It was fun playing mario kart online.
July 8th, 2009 at 7:20 am
Good Morning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My dang mouse at home DIED AGAIN or someting.
Talk bout "cha cha" last night..........WOW! Over 100 posts already!
Rubik's cube......I'm inept at solving that yet Da Teenager can do it in around a minute or so.
Time to play the daily "games".

Who all lives in Seattle? Did you go see my friends at the Boomer Blast?
July 8th, 2009 at 7:46 am
snow...i'm pretty much addicted to Zuma right now but I'll be checking out Luxor. At one time I was really hooked on Space Invaders.

btw gang referring to the "doodie scene in the movie" yah that was caddyshack and the guy was bill murray. he was great in that movie as the groundskeeper for the golf course. that movie was a classic, chevy chase was the golf pro (tye) you remember him na na n na na na na. other funny scenes was when BM was talkin dirty to the ol ladys playing thru as he made the holes on the golf course, then (tye) plays night golf and his ball lands on BM grass table which he grew (kentucky blue & sensimilla) you could play golf on and get stoned out of your mind off of it later lol. co-star of that movie was the gopher too, and rodney dangerfield was the obnoxious rich guy and the uptight judge was shmells cant remember his real name but it was so funny when dangerfield dropped his anchor on shmells lil sloop and it sunk lol.
here is a lil truth on chevy chase, did you know he was a drummer in a band as a young dude. he was'nt that good though so left the band and that band became famous after that (steeley dan)...

MORNING!!
midori-mm: Cool! Another person who likes zuma! As sally says, I also "like the sound ZOOOMAH!"
Ocean Lover/M: I just cannot BEElieve that your kids can solve the cube that fast!!! They must BEE super smart. It takes a certain kind of brain to figure out puzzles, etc...
KAN: Weren't most people a Tetris fan cause that was one of the first puzzle games of the new generation? Or was that just one of the first puzzle games I remember?
anklebiters: Yeah, what does the car color white say about you???
July 8th, 2009 at 9:02 am
Shauna, my son even has the professional version of the cube. He can adjust how lose to make it. He can even do it with one hand. Sometimes he's going so fast, the cube flies apart. I think he has done it under 24 sec.
July 8th, 2009 at 9:03 am
never heard of zuma, but remember zima that that clear alcohol bev that the slogan said was not a beer

Naomi Campbell, Claudia Schiffer, and Cindy Crawford are flying to a super models conference in Paris, when the captain of the plane announces: "We have just lost power to the engines and are going to make an emergency crash landing -- assume the brace position immediately!"
Immediately the three models start preparing for the worst. Claudia pulls out lipstick and make-up and starts fixing her face. Bewildered, Naomi and Cindy ask: "What in the hell are you doing fixing your make-up when we are about to friggin' crash!"
Claudia responds: "I know for a fact the rescue workers will search for, and save first, the ones who have the best looking faces -- which is why I am putting on my make-up."
Cindy Crawford rips open her blouse to expose two beautiful mounds of flesh which inexplicably defy the law of gravity. Totally confused, Naomi and Claudia shout: "Cindy, have you lost your senses? Why are you baring your breasts for everyone to see when we are about to die!"
Cindy responds: "I have it on good authority in plane crashes, the rescue workers look to save first the women with big beautiful breasts -- which is why I am exposing my boobs!"
Not hesitating, Naomi Campbell pulls down her skirt and panties to expose herself." Freaking out, Claudia and Cindy yell: "Naomi -- Are you crazy?? Why are you exposing your crotch for everyone to see?"
Calmly, Naomi responds: "LADIES PLEASE! I know for a fact the first thing the rescue workers look for in plane crashes is a black box!"
July 8th, 2009 at 9:36 am
Ankles, my mother-out-law is staying with us that weekend, so I'm not sure we'll be able to tear away for lunch.
July 8th, 2009 at 9:46 am
Everyone on Hawaii time, don't forget to look at the clock today when it hits 12:34:56 7/8/9. Yes I did open up the clock icon on my computer over here so i can see the seconds tick towards 56 seconds.
It was a neat moment then it was back to work.
July 8th, 2009 at 10:07 am
Good Morning Hive!
@M -- Wow, I like see your son solve the Rubik's Cube!
I heard that the way I solve it is the MLC method.
The new way is to solve multiple faces at the same time. I dunno how that works.
July 8th, 2009 at 10:14 am
Eli: Cool! Send us a reminder during Hawaii time!!
Brother Love: That supermodel joke was funny!!
anklebiters: I don't like what the description is for a white car! I want another one!!
July 8th, 2009 at 10:47 am
good morning HIVE! yes, it's still morning BEEps!
opso - thanks! sorry, i sniped you like i sniped qb... without even knowing! i just had to get my last dig in there for banana and got the new #1! hee hee...
KAN - thanks for the fist bumps (by the way, i had to scroll up, too! ha ha!!) the BBDs were just leaving so much ammuni... oops, i mean... they were having such wonderful discussions that i just had to join in!
July 8th, 2009 at 10:54 am
midori-mm - i was totally addicted to space invaders, too! loved that game! check out luxor, it's pretty similar to zuma... i think you'll like it!
OL & M - my son can solve the rubric's cube in less than a minute, too. don't know why he can't figure out other things so quickly!!
M, where'd your son get all his other cubes from? my son wanted to try some of the others but we haven't seen them.
July 8th, 2009 at 11:03 am
SNOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW,
My "teenager" can solve the Rubik's cube fast....but the buggah NO MOA COMMON SENSE. Smart guys are usually like that.
Is there any COMMON SENSE courses out dere?
OL........................worried bout Da Teenager when it comes to COMMON SENSE
July 8th, 2009 at 11:06 am
Hi all!!
M:
Wow, that's pretty awesome about your son solving the Rubik cube under 30 seconds. I solved it once many many years ago....and it was more like 30 hours not 30 seconds! lol
Brother Love:
Very funny joke! I never saw that coming!
July 8th, 2009 at 11:06 am
OL - tell me about it... my son no mo' common sense, too! if you find out where they teach that, lemme know!!
July 8th, 2009 at 11:08 am
snow, we got some in Japan, the professional version was from Japan and he got some from Tinker Toys.
July 8th, 2009 at 11:10 am
I used to play those arcade games like Phoenix, Galaga and Missile Command. I do have the Playstation but have forced myself not to get involved with it again. I was totally addicted to it and spent too many hours trying to beat my previuos scores. Evil, very evil....
Now I just do the crossword puzzles in the L.A. Times. The Sunday one is my favorite.

Woo-hoo!! Special delivery of my favorite caramel apple spice!! Too bad I didn't have it last night when I had some of those virtual malasadas!
Thanks, Mr. Top BEE!

My favorite game is
BreakoutGalaxian<CentipedeGalagaPONG.... it's so difficult to master, the graphics are cutting edge, and the knob for the paddle movement took some getting use to, and the audio was like that of a sonar in a u-boat. It sure beats anything being made these daysJuly 8th, 2009 at 11:31 am

anklebiters: Too many wrong things about that statement!!
Though silver status was funny!! Is orange really the up-and-coming color????
jaydee: Sunday crosswords??? Wow!! And yes, games are evil. Why are they so addicting? Are we hard-wired to try and win? And going back to the old post, you never told me if you drive the Infiniti or Lexus. My guess was the Infiniti...
July 8th, 2009 at 11:38 am
Ocean Lover/snow: I need some common-sense classes also!!! I should save this topic for a future post but good schooling will offer courses that will make a difference as these kids grow up and live in the real world. Geography and history are all good and stuff, but too much of it is just memorizing. Heck, I can't even tell you where all the 50 states are!
But learning to cook rice (in home ec) or sew a button probably will BEE more useful. Though this goes in to the question of what the teachers and parents' responsibilities are. Is it the school's job to teach kids how to live a basic life? Or is it just to give them the tools they need to get by in life???
M: I still can not get over the fact that your son can solve that cube in under 30 seconds!!! I wanna BEE the one to get the cube out of order and then see him do it... And I didn't even know they had all those different size cubes...
BananaFysh/opso: You still didn't tell me about that cheat sheet for the cube...

Shauna:
TOO many wrongs makes a right
The Orange 2009 Dodge Challenger R/T comes to mind. I know Honda has Orange colored Fit's for sale.
I never in a millions years thought I would have a yeller car....it's still a very popular color since its introduction in '00.
July 8th, 2009 at 11:52 am
First of all - To solve Rubik's cube, I applied the "mechanical" concept. It involves taking apart the little pieces that make up the cube, then snapping them back together with the colors on the proper sides.
No, I didn't peel off the colored stickers. That's the "painters" concept.
As for video games - wait. Um Queenie, video game players are called "gamers", not "players". Morgan Webb
is a gamer. Charley Harper is a player. 
Would you believe I still have my Colecovision? With cartridges such as Donkey Kong and Burgertime. Got the Atari adapter too - it's stuck in the main unit.
My choice of games were platform games - such as Super Mario. Next would be the puzzle games - because you can quit at any time - unlike RPGs and platforms where you need to get to a save point.
Speaking of games - checked out bejeweled blitz last night on FB.
ADDICTING! Even got Paula playing it.
July 8th, 2009 at 11:58 am
wassup gang! what a BRIGHT and SUNNY day it is today, huh queenie?!
so anklebiters and shauna, what does it say about people who drive black cars? dark and mysterious? charming?
anklebiters: pong?!?!? hmmm, what about "combat" for the atari 2600? now that was a cutting age game!
July 8th, 2009 at 11:59 am
i may be a lil biased here but i will give up booksmarts before i give up streetsmarts (common sense). without common sense you are basically programmable to think and do w/out regard to what how you feel. you see a lot of successful ppl out there w/ booksmarts and a lot of them lose in the end cuz they were actually stupid.
if you want to test yourself on whether you have common sense try answering this riddle,,,
you are driving through a run down ghetto area which is known for assaults, drug dealing, and theft. you get a flat tire, and your cell phone has no reception. you start to change the tire but then lose all of the lugnuts for the tire. WHAT DO YOU DO?
July 8th, 2009 at 12:01 pm
anklebiters: i saw that copper/orange colored fit the other day, i must say, i wish i got the fit...it's a cute car! i think it's the modern day version of what the old civic (CVCC) used to BEE in the 70s. they even have mugen parts for it although no matter how much money you sink in that car, it'll never BEE faster than a nice yellow 8 cylinder american muscle car!
July 8th, 2009 at 12:05 pm
ankle: american muscle...that reminds me, one of my first introductions to american muscle came with my friends brand new camaro. he installed a borla dual tip exhaust and when he revved the engine in the parking lot one day, he set off two car alarms! hahaha, that was impressive!
bro love: having a car with a five lug pattern, i think i could get by with three tires having four lugs and one tire having three lugs. (take one lugnut off of each good tire, apply to changed tire). enough so to get to the nearest service station or something.

HNL2LAS: Hurry and catch up!!
July 8th, 2009 at 12:25 pm
Brother Love: Now that is a GOOD riddle for I am stumped (or stupid)! Here were some panicky thoughts going through my head:
- Just drive with one flat tire! I'd rather scrape a rim than die by some thug's beefy hands!
- LOCK your car up and then run out of there as fast as you can to the nearest safe place.
- Just sit in your car till help arrives (though upon further pondering that would BEE pointless as you can't even call for help!).
- Give a passer-by some money to help you??
honda si boy: I must admit that your idea never crossed my mind!
Would that really work?
I wanna hear some other answers BEEfore Brother Love tells us who has common sense or not!!!
July 8th, 2009 at 12:27 pm
Rodney: I did think gamers was a more appropriate word but I like the word players bet and thought it made for a sexier title.
(Let's see if Ukuhead can come up with a better one!) You cube cheater!! 
What are you planning to do with your archaic game systems?? And yes, I thought I saw you on Bejeweled!!! 
July 8th, 2009 at 12:27 pm
Brother Love: I wouldn't even get out of the car to fix the flat. I would drive on the rim until I get to a safe area. Hopefully cell phone reception get better and I call AAA. If not I find a store that is open 24 hours and use the phone there.
July 8th, 2009 at 12:27 pm
anklebiters: Yes, we did mention in the past that many wrongs make a right! Did you check your e-mail? A hot yeller is sitting in your inbox!!
July 8th, 2009 at 12:31 pm
Eli: Great minds think alike! (Can't wait to hear what Brother Love has to say about our idea!) Other options would BEE to always have two fully charged cell phones on you with different service providers to ensure reception from either of them. Make sure you don't lose the lugnuts as you're fixing the tire!! But the smartest thing to do is NOT drive through a ghetto area!!! Take the longer but safer route!! I got common sense, I got common sense!!
July 8th, 2009 at 12:38 pm
what???no one wrote at 12:34:56???? ai ya! hehe

OL...........get SOME common sense
July 8th, 2009 at 1:36 pm
Went back to read the other posts and HONDA got um BEEfore me! I guess that would BEE the "common sense" answer. That and have the tire iron at the ready to swing at the gang members coming to rob you and aim for their "nads".

Ocean Lover: Aw, you have the same answer as honda si boy?? I'm still waiting to hear others... I want to know if I got common sense or not!! Speaking of which, isn't it silly if people keep all their car tools under the trunk mat?
July 8th, 2009 at 2:04 pm
@Shauna - it's simple. You just have to make each side of the row of 4 blocks have one of each color. For example, in the picture I linked to, you see how the front and top each have one Red, White, Blue, and Green color.
However, the other 2 sides of the row of blocks looks like this:

I have a small hammer I keep under my driver's seat in case I need to break the glass in case of an emergency, for whatever reason. I always fear that I'll see some kid, or dog, left in a hot car and not bee able to help by breaking the glass.
Or, if I need to throw down with some punks in the street, I can use my extensive martial arts training ( i.e., watching Jean Claude Van Dam movies as a teen) and bust some Bloodsport moves to FINISH THEM!
July 8th, 2009 at 2:08 pm
Re: lugnuts, that will work in an emergency situation.
I have a truck and I carry jumper cables, rope, anti-freeze, duct tape, hose clamps and tools behind my back seat.
July 8th, 2009 at 2:11 pm
M: LOL! Sorry, I couldn't help but think "kidnapper" when I saw duct tape!!
Scott: Yeah, bust out your moves! Not talking about your Hammer ones!

July 8th, 2009 at 2:21 pm
I still wanna know HOW DOES FOOD STAMPS WORK? For sure you have to meet some kind of eligibility requirements.....yet after that do you pay say $70 for $100 worth of Food Stamps and WHERE can you use it? For sure DEE LITE Bakery accepts.
AND.....its not like BEEfore where they have these "monopoly money" type coupons for the Food Stamps. I think its like a debit card as the bakery lady just asked the guy for his "PIN NUMBER".
OL...................gonna apply for FOOD STAMPS pretty soon
July 8th, 2009 at 2:23 pm
Shauna, what else do you think the duct tape was for?
July 8th, 2009 at 2:23 pm
Try look at the picture above..........looks like a guy with earrings.....a stupid guy who thinks an elephant's bigger than the moon.
OL.................actually an elephant IN YOUR FACE is bigger than the lil moon way up dere
July 8th, 2009 at 2:26 pm
Ok I am back, lets see
shauna- driving on the rim will damage your car and it wont steer so that is out. running around will only attract attention and then when you flash your cash what ice heads that were'nt chasing will join in to catch you cuz you gave them added motivation. we would end up seeing your pic on a milk carton or something girl dang lol. definitely what you should'nt do.
eli- sitting in your car in the middle of the ghetto is actually gonna attract attention the ice heads are getting paranoid as to why you are there and will form a group to aproach you. since you have given them all the time to prepare they will easly bust your windows to get at you and i figure you would get beaten or raped and robbed blind. while you were sitting there a couple of ice heads stole the other 3 tires on your car. they would put you in the trunk and the cops would find you next day. this is definitely not what to do
OL & hsib- taking 1 lugnut from the other 3 tires will allow you to drive the car to a safe location and get some help. that is the best thing to do and thats common sense my friends.
OL gonna take back a 1/2 pt though because your 2nd thought was to arm yourself w/ a tire iron and take on da whole hood. you clearly have been watching the gran torino movie and it seems are influenced by it lol. just so you brother even clint eastwood died in the end of that movie bro..
July 8th, 2009 at 2:33 pm
m you & i both dont have trunks and we pretty much got the same things back there (i no more duct tape though). shauna did'nt have not 1 of those things in her trunk lmao, shauna that right there should tell you something girl hahahhaha.

One thing I learned is never play board games or card games you don't know the rules to with my son. He tells you how to play and starts changing the rules to suit his "winning". It was kinda cute when he was little.

July 8th, 2009 at 3:08 pm
woooo, back from lunch at the counter! so now i got to try both the edge and the counter. i have to say, i wasn't that impressed with the choices at the counter. all the good stuff you had to pay extra for. and the burger was made fat (instead of larger circumference/diameter) so you couldn't fit it in your mouth. but the fries were super good! i think i'll have to go again to make a fair judgement
maybe when i don't go with my boss on a "working lunch" so i can order alcohol!
July 8th, 2009 at 3:09 pm
lol anklebiters
ok bro thank god you got those tire within a tire huh..
guys we gotta help out queenie, she got like half of her house in her trunk but no antifreeze or nothing in case of a vehicle emergency lol. i would love to pop her trunk and see if she got a spare tire and if she does i want to know is she knows how to change da tire lol.
heres a true story for ya,,
my wife wanted to go to somewhere and use my truck. i told her not a good idea (since i knew i had a bad tire that i was gonna get changed the next day). she takes the truck anyway thinking i was just being a jerk about it (her exact words when she called me up for help). sure enough phone rings and she is stuck asking me to come help. i am kinda mad but i go help her meanwhile she is coming up w/ reasons why she could'nt fix the tire so it was my fault. i get there and she starts going off about my truck doesnt have a spare tire yada yada yada. i tell her look under the truck and theres the spare, she then says how am i supposed to get that off you dont have the proper tools (your fault). i get the rod behind my seat and start cranking the tire down lol. she was quiet the rest of the time i changed that dang tire lol. i aint gonna lie man i made her feel so guilty about it hahhahahahahaha...
July 8th, 2009 at 3:11 pm

Thanks for the good wishes everyone. I'm sinking lower and lower into the computer chair.
My dad LOVED pong. I think they still have the old Atari controller in the dark recesses of a back closet somewhere. I was okay at it. I remember the times when the "ball" would bounce oddly off the "paddle" with no rhyme, reason, or warning.
'kay, moving to the couch now.

yah m thats what i remember pinball machines, everybody mentioning all this other stuff but i not familiar w/ it. the only video gm i remember was was that ping pong game i remember seeing that before but for me personally it was pinball machines. i am sure there were alot of other games around though but i was never really into games but my nephew this games now you hook up to the tv man it looks pretty cool but i dont know how to play it or anything.
July 8th, 2009 at 6:19 pm
anklebiters yah thats the ping pong gm i was talkin about bro in that youtube video.
July 8th, 2009 at 6:25 pm
You guys remember how that game used to burn an image into your tv? We had that too and I remember "Breakout".
July 8th, 2009 at 6:29 pm
I meant to say that "game" was pong.

BUT... being a true city girl, we stay at a B&B at night. I cannot handle sleeping on a wooden bed w/ just a sleeping bag. Need my Serta!
Get lullaby'd by the coqui frogs hahaha

July 8th, 2009 at 10:03 pm
@sally Thank you for taking the time off to help with the Hamakua Health Camp. My son went on one of those Asthma camps when he was in Elementary School. He enjoyed the time at Kalopa. Funny thing is we heard about the camp because my son got hurt on a school outing to Waipio Valley. They went into a taro patch and a stick poked his shin. It was all muddy water so the took him to the Hamakua Health center. While they were sticking up, one of the nurses mentioned the camp that she and others were putting together. So we signed up and my son enjoyed it.
Side note, my son ended up in the hospital in Hilo after his wound got infected because it wasn't draining and he ended up with e-coli and some other infections. Poor kid. But he is better now. His Asthma still bothers him and he will be a junior in High School.
Sorry for the long post. Really want to thank you for volunteering and helping the kids.
OK, now you can go enjoy Manago's pork chops and Ken's House of pancakes. Call me and maybe I join you
July 8th, 2009 at 10:05 pm
"Stitching" Not sticking although they were doing a good job sticking him with needles
OK tata for nor. You Vampires can have a go at it again.

@Shauna: daughter is 21. She lives with her dad (more room at his house) so we hang out when we can.
So you get here just when I gotta leave. bye!
@Ynaku: You're so welcome. I really enjoy this camp. God's country. I'm glad to hear your son recovered, man that is scary to have your child go thru stuff like that.
Funny story: last year when we were outside, I said "Look! Chickens over there" was way across the field. One of the kids said "um Aunty, that's pheasants". LMAO! Such a city girl.
Okay, I REALLY gotta go now. BYE!!!
bzzzzzzzz......
