Call me Stella or call me smart...
November 13th, 2009 by ShaunaThere's no story today, but just some hilarious, ODD and true tales.
For those unfamiliar with the "Stella Awards," they are named after 81-year-old Stella Liebeck who spilled hot coffee on herself and successfully sued the McDonald's in New Mexico, where she purchased coffee. You remember, she took the lid off the coffee and put it between her knees while she was driving. Who would ever think one could get burned doing that, right? That's right — these are awards for the most outlandish lawsuits and verdicts in the U.S. You know, the kinds of cases that make you scratch your head. So keep your head-scratcher handy....
Here are the "Stellas" for 2009. However, some quick research shows that some of these cases were fabricated. Take a guess on which ones were true and which ones were made up!
Case 1:
Kathleen Robertson of Austin, Texas was awarded $80,000 by a jury of her peers after breaking her ankle tripping over a toddler who was running inside a furniture store. The store owners were understandably surprised by the verdict, considering the running toddler was her own son.
Case 2:
Carl Truman, 19, of Los Angeles, Calif., won $74,000 plus medical expenses when his neighbor ran over his hand with a Honda Accord. Truman apparently didn't notice there was someone at the wheel of the car when he was trying to steal his neighbor's hubcaps.
Case 3:
Terrence Dickson, of Bristol, Penn., was leaving a house he had just burglarized by way of the garage Unfortunately for Dickson, the automatic garage door opener malfunctioned and he could not get the garage door to open. Worse, he couldn't re-enter the house because the door connecting the garage to the house locked when Dickson pulled it shut. Forced to sit for eight, count 'em, EIGHT days and survive on a case of Pepsi and a large bag of dry dog food, he sued the homeowner's insurance company claiming undue mental Anguish. Amazingly, the jury said the insurance company must pay Dickson $500,000 for his anguish.
Case 4:
A jury ordered a Philadelphia restaurant to pay Amber Carson of Lancaster, Penn., $113,500 after she slipped on a spilled soft drink and broke her tailbone. The reason the soft drink was on the floor: Carson had thrown it at her boyfriend 30 seconds earlier during an argument.
Case 5:
Merv Grazinski, of Oklahoma City, Okla., had purchased a new 32-foot Winnebago motor home. On her first trip home, from an OU football game, having driven on to the freeway, she set the cruise control at 70 mph and calmly left the driver's seat to go to the back of the Winnebago to make herself a sandwich. Not surprisingly, the motor home left the freeway, crashed and overturned. Also not surprisingly, Grazinski sued Winnebago for not putting in the owner's manual that she couldn't actually leave the driver's seat while the cruise control was set. The Oklahoma jury awarded her $1,750,000 PLUS a new motor home. Winnebago actually changed their manuals as a result of this suit, just in case Grazinski has any relatives who might also buy a motor home.
-----
So what real-life frivolous lawsuits have you heard of? Or more importantly, how can you get rich suing someone by spinning a story in your favor?
And on a serious note, is money really the answer to everything? Can it really make up for the emotional pain, mental anguish or that broken tailbone? Or does it just psychologically make you feel better?

I think OL needs to look into filing a lawsuit against weirdo, for emotional anguish.
November 13th, 2009 at 2:42 am
WTF?
oh sorry, that was yesterday's blog.
This only proves that there's no shortage of stoopid people nor the greedy lawyers willing to represent them.
Happy Friday the 13th!

OL: you have to find a lawyer experienced in fighting cases involving BLATT BLATT OTOOOTT, then you can sue, and hopefully retire as Ocean Lover 24/7
November 13th, 2009 at 6:20 am
Good morning and Happy Friday the 13th!!
November 13th, 2009 at 6:23 am
Guuuud morning Hive! Happy Friday da 13th! Fri. 13th is always a good luck day for me (unless it's not) because I lurrrrve the # 13. QB, howzabout you?
I would guess case number 1 and 4 are true. Aisus if all five are. I would say, minus the supposed monetary awards, that all five are illustrations of big bachi in action.
November 13th, 2009 at 6:27 am
OL: you have lots of documentation on WEIRDO already, just go into O&E history. PLUS!... you have all our sympathetic reactions. I'm sure Shauna can delete the "unsympathetic" ones.
oh... sorry... GOOD MORNING HIVE!
November 13th, 2009 at 6:27 am
Good moorning David in Oregon, The Dork Knight, teejay, OL, KAN and da hive!
Happy Friday!
Breakfast Friday!
November 13th, 2009 at 6:38 am
Being involved in a case right now, I can say that I am not looking at getting near as much as Ms Coffee Spiller nor Mr Hubcap Stealer nor Mr DogChow w/Pepsi chaser eater. Where's the justice here?
It's not so much about the money (altho' honestly it will help a little), it's more about proving that I...ME...SALLY... was NOT intentionally malicious and responsible. Ironically, the other affected parties involved have backed me up.
But my case IS valid and hopefully soon pau. Now I understand how these big crimes take yearrrrs to resolve, if mine has been already 2 yrs.
MayBEE I should have added emotional anguish for dragging me thru this sh.... stuff for so long! ay sus.
btw... Need a personal injury atty? I got the best! Seriously, he kicks butt. Not just that he's my friend, but he does.
November 13th, 2009 at 6:40 am
Good morning.
Shauna so where is that place in the picture?
Have a good weekend.
November 13th, 2009 at 6:47 am

Shauna, is that who I think it is with you in the picture?
November 13th, 2009 at 6:57 am
Morning everyone!!
Wow, nice pic in Metromix Shauna!
More Stella award winners in the "OC":
Woman slips on strawberry, gets $21,000
By JEFF OVERLEY
2009-11-11 08:40:28
NEWPORT BEACH – A woman who was injured after slipping on a piece of strawberry was one of several Newport-Mesa Unified School District employees to receive thousands of dollars in compensation recently.
Board officials at a recent meeting approved settlements in four slip-and-fall cases. Here's a look:
•A 58-year-old instructional aide in 2004 suffered a shoulder injury after tripping over a chair. The next year, she slipped on a piece of strawberry and hurt her right arm. District officials on Oct. 27 agreed to pay her $21,000.
•A 66-year-old teacher injured her right foot, ankles, knees, right thigh, right wrist, right arm, left wrist, back, neck, nose, right eye and head in two slip-and-fall accidents. One involved a cracked sidewalk, and the other involved tripping over a plastic floor mat. Trustees gave her $60,222.50.
•A 38-year-old teacher suffered back, head and thigh injuries after slipping on food on a floor. She received $15,510.
•A 75-year-old nutritional assistant fell in a lunch room and injured her left arm. She was given $6,099.63.
November 13th, 2009 at 7:02 am
Sally, I'm not saying your attorney isn't good - I'm sure he is. But it's a funny thing about the general public's perception of attorneys - people think attorneys are shysters and dishonest EXCEPT for their particular attorney - their own attorney is always the one honest attorney in town.
November 13th, 2009 at 7:02 am
Good Morning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (again)
Eh Queenie.....who da guy in da middle....Lyle Galdeira?
And today's Friday da 13th? I better go tell Da Wife.....she gets all STRESSED OUT about dat kine stuff.

Good morning che, sally, jaydee and Jack!
November 13th, 2009 at 7:19 am
happy friday the 13th. there's a reason lawn mower manuals say something to the effect of "for use on ground only".
November 13th, 2009 at 7:21 am
I guess the plaintiffs have always depended on the kindness of strangers
November 13th, 2009 at 7:26 am
Shauna: WOW you woke up early today…..or you had too much ice cream and never go sleep yet.
On topic- I would rather be flat broke and healthy than a millionaire paraplegic.

M: What's for breakfast brah?!!
November 13th, 2009 at 7:54 am
I just had mine....a chorizo and egg burrito. It's actually one of the best things they serve in the cafeteria; only on Fridays though.
November 13th, 2009 at 8:00 am
Good morning!!!
Needing to lose some pounds so no fried rice today.
I've been seeing a lot more floaters since I switched to a high fiber diet
November 13th, 2009 at 8:05 am
All this breakfast talk is making me hungry; I only had a pudding cup.
November 13th, 2009 at 8:25 am
@jaydee, this mornings breakfast was omelette, fried rice and spam.
November 13th, 2009 at 8:37 am
Good Morning All!
It is a good thing I was not on those juries. "You stoopid. You no get paid for BEEing stoopid."
Since we talking about breakfast... I had a cinnamon roll from the cafeteria. I know, it is not a good thing for breakfast. It was actually my morning snack after the traffic. Paired with a nice hot cup of coffee and I am all guuud.
November 13th, 2009 at 8:44 am
you know, when you have a jury trial, who are you most likely to get? the people with jobs are likely to try to get out of serving, so you might have only a smattering of them on it. the ones running the companies are likely to have some pull, so you probably can't count on any captains of industry sitting on a jury. the ones who are out of work/likely want to stick it to the man? I'm guessing they have little incentive and fewer believable excuses to get off serving. if you have a case of a little guy (or gal) suing a big corporation, who do you think the jury will be more sympathetic towards?
November 13th, 2009 at 8:51 am
good morning HIVE!
those injury claims... i dunno, all of them sound stupid enough to be real!
qb - yay! you made metromix! someone in that picture (besides you), looks familiar... can't place where i've seen that girl on the left!
ukuhead - i didn't know a high fiber diet affects your eyesight... and you just had laser and den!
November 13th, 2009 at 8:53 am
Good morning and happy Friday the 13th!!
I think #4 and 5 are true.
Money will help with the medical expenses but it isn't the answer to everything. It won't take away the physical pain you might feel every morning or the emotional pain you have to deal with the rest of your life.
Nice picture on Metromix Shauna!!
November 13th, 2009 at 9:15 am
Good Morning All!!
I think #5 bee real. I can see women drivers confusing "cruise control" with "auto-pilot"
November 13th, 2009 at 9:24 am
Ice Cream and Beea
Blaaat Blaaat Ottoooot
Hey Shauna, you speshul now.
as for STELLA!!!!!!, we have a stoopid system.
November 13th, 2009 at 9:55 am
Anyone got lucky yet today? I momentarily lost my work ID and was like $hit! (Oops, that was yesterday's blog!
) I started thinking, drat, Friday the 13th is supposed to BEE my day! After backtracking and not finding it. I figured I would just ask security. Some other workers then told me that they found it and guess whose desk it ended up BEEing at? Braddah Lance!! What are the ODDS? 
November 13th, 2009 at 10:42 am
Shauna - BL had your ID... hmmmm. Did you lose it, or did he take it?
November 13th, 2009 at 10:55 am
Kage: He took it cause I lost it.
David In Oregon: Yeah, if Ocean Lover finds the right lawyer, I'm sure he has a case!
The Dork Knight: Couldn't have said it better myself:
teejay: What has this world come to when it's a coup to make Metormix??
David In Oregon: How ODD you recognized a classmate!!
Ocean Lover: No, that's not Lyle...he could BEE one of us, or mayBEE not...
M: Not sure who you think that may BEE but ssshhh...
snow: Wonder where you've seen that girl on the left BEEfore...
Jack: Got up early AND went to the gym! Woo-hoo! Now I'm eating a long chocolate thick-looking log treat...
It kinda looks like a cigar.
November 13th, 2009 at 11:04 am
KAN: I love the 13ths like you!!! But if I did lose my badge this morning, I might have thought twice about how lucky this day really is for me... And you got one of your answers right!! #1 is TRUE!
sally: Haha, love those names:
jaydee: What a timely Stella story you found!! Love the one about the person injuring her right foot, ankles, knees, right thigh, right wrist, right arm, left wrist, back, neck, nose, right eye and head! LOL! ODDly enough, I just saw someone slip and fall at the mall cause it was raining. My first thought was, "Wonder if she could sue if she got hurt?" Then I saw that yellow cone sign that said caution, slippery when wet. Is that enough to protect a business???
matt: Do you actually read the lawn mower manuals???
Ocean Lover: Did you tell your wife what day it is yet? Did you fall off your chair in your attempt to lean way back? And did you know that I got the hi ho hi ho dwarf reference??
November 13th, 2009 at 11:12 am
Queenie: "Anyone got lucky yet today?"
Crossing da fingahs.................
"Did you tell your wife what day it is yet?"
No.....I forgot.
" Did you fall off your chair in your attempt to lean way back?"
No......me too chicken.
" And did you know that I got the hi ho hi ho dwarf reference??"
Ho...you OLD yeah?
OL........impressed that Queenie knows about "Hi ho, hi ho....its off to work I go"
November 13th, 2009 at 11:14 am
I just saw a story about some dead body by Punchbowl and Beretania that was found in the bushes. I'm gonna WALK PAST THERE very shortly. Shall I go rummage in the bushes to see if got any valuables?
OL.................going "Ewwwwwwwwwwwwww" at the thought
November 13th, 2009 at 11:15 am
Eh OL: Which dwarf is NKHEA?
November 13th, 2009 at 11:16 am
nah, we use that example (guy deciding to trim his hedges with his lawnmower) in training about following SOP.
=( no one either got or liked the streetcar reference.
November 13th, 2009 at 11:18 am
Eli: Got both guesses wrong!! Sorry! Try again! It's 50/50 you'll get it right!
che: Picture was at Oceans808 anniversary event.
sally: Click on the Metromix link above the picture. It will take you to the rest of the gallery...
Ukuhead: Floaters!
snow: Fist bump!
matt: As usual, you brought up an interesting perspective that never even crossed my mind. That makes a lot of sense!

Q: How can you tell when a lawyer is lying
A: Their lips are moving
Metromix finally put in a requirement that a person's head must be tilted to be eligible for their photo.
November 13th, 2009 at 11:22 am
bamboohouse808: As much as your misconceptions about women and driving cloud your judgment, your best guess at #5 is wrong. FAIL(URE)!
Ocean Lover: Do it, do it! You seem to get lucky with bushes!!! Hi ho, hi ho!!
matt: Yeah, I didn't get any street-car reference...
David In Oregon: I know I'm the Grumpy dwarf!!
November 13th, 2009 at 11:25 am
anklebiters: Haha, funny joke! And dang it, my head is not tilted enough!
The Dork Knight: Oh yeah, WTF is mild compared to what the other BEES were trying to say yesterday!
They were so explicit! 
November 13th, 2009 at 11:32 am
sorry. was in kind of an "out-there" mood this morning (as usual, I guess). I was just riffing off of the blog title this AM.
I wrote:
"I guess the plaintiffs have always depended on the kindness of strangers"
which is a play on Blanche's famous "I have always depended on the kindness of strangers" as she is admitted to the metal institution.
another famous line from that same movie is "Stellllla! hey, Stellla!" referencing Blanche's sister.
sorry, my mind works in mysterious ways sometimes.
November 13th, 2009 at 11:39 am
I say story 1,2,3,4 and 5 are all made up.
The O&E image of the day, my guess is two Hotties
and one incredibly handsome guy. 
November 13th, 2009 at 11:43 am
Good morning...still barely morning.
I have attorney friends who detest others in their profession who gain publicity with this type of cases. It's all about $$$.
November 13th, 2009 at 11:57 am
matt: Oh...I didn't see that movie so that's why it went right over my head...
Jack: You're half right! On your Stella guesses that is... Wonder if that handsome guy is now famous.
visitor: It's all about the money money money!!
November 13th, 2009 at 12:00 pm
How's this for a frivolous lawsuit?
Lawsuit: Trip over dog ruined sex life
NEW YORK, Nov. 12 (UPI) -- A New York octogenarian claims in a lawsuit against a bar that his sex life was ruined by an injury suffered when he tripped over a dog at the establishment.
Irving Grossman, 81, said in his suit against the Austin Steak and Ale House he tripped over a Pomeranian on his way out of the business and injured his left kneecap, the New York Daily News reported Thursday.
"I was in a brace for two months," Grossman said.
He said the injury caused him "severe pain, shock, mental anguish" and ruined his sex life with his wife, Jaclyn. The suit accuses the bar of creating a safety hazard by being too "pet-friendly."
However, a manager at the bar who was working April 29, the day Grossman said he injured his knee, said she could not recall any injuries at the bar on that date, the newspaper reported. The manager said the bar follows city laws by not allowing pets but one of the regular customers is visually impaired and brings her seeing-eye dog.
"No one that I know can remember anything," the manager said. "But there is a customer who's handicapped who uses a dog."
November 13th, 2009 at 12:07 pm
The ONLY winner in a case that involves lawyers are the lawyers themselves. They are usually paid - win, lose or draw
But still I like to watch movies about lawyers - Pelican Brief, The Client, Time To Kill, The Firm, Erin Brockovich (she really does look gr8 IRL
), The Rainmaker.....
November 13th, 2009 at 12:18 pm
“his sex life was ruined by an injury suffered when he tripped over a dog at the establishment.”
He is 81years old, I don’t think it was tripping that ruined his sex life.
November 13th, 2009 at 12:20 pm
Shauna: The answer is #1 and 2 or #1 and 3.
Cookie please. 
November 13th, 2009 at 12:22 pm
Attention, Attention in da BEEhive, da Queen Bee isn't doing her trademark "TILT", whoooot, WWD.
@Jack - #23, you are right on the mark, a BeeBeeDee, with common sense. All da cents in da world ain't worth sitting in a wheel chair for the rest of you life.
@Anklebiters - If you happen to see Kyle Busch, can you get me an autograph? Only if you happen to see him.

Matt, #32: retirees make up a big portion of the jury pool too.
@ankles: why does NY have all the attorneys and NJ has all the toxic waste? NJ got first pick
What's the difference between a catfish and a lawyer? One's a bottom-dwelling, scum-sucking creature, and the other one's a fish.

@NKHEA -- I thought you were "Alkie Dwarf" or "Drunky Dwarf."
November 13th, 2009 at 2:52 pm
@KAN,
I doubt any retirees who end up on juries have much love for big corporations either.
The devil visited a lawyer's office and made him an offer. "I can arrange some things for you, " the devil said. "I'll increase your income five-fold. Your partners will love you; your clients will respect you; you'll have four months of vacation each year and live to be a hundred. All I require in return is that your wife's soul, your children's souls, and their children's souls rot in hell for eternity."
The lawyer thought for a moment. "What's the catch?" he asked.
November 13th, 2009 at 3:01 pm
NKHEA........you QUEEA.....with the BEEa.......
I thought I'm "BALDY" not "GRUMPY".

Not moi... I kick butt. hahahaha!

anklebiters: You mean you didn't start packing last week? Tsk tsk!!
KAN: Yes, the butt kicker is the better position to BEE in!

The best way to extort today is with a workplace lawsuit. A hostile work environment is anything you say it is. You just say it often enough and it begins to sound true. -
Case in point and pending action:
As a long time receptionist at the Honolulu Advertiser, I was shocked and embarrassed by the lack of shoulder coverage during Shauna Goya's recent video headlines piece. I couldn't perform my duties of repeating "He/She's not in", and otherwise stonewalling subscribers who came to, or called the newspaper. I felt depressed and put upon. I lost sleep. I couldn't even eat my usual lunch of three Kobe Dogs from Hank's. The stress was affecting my relationship with my spouse, my children, and most importantly, my dog.
Anon.
Dear Anon:
You are not alone. I too lost sleep, had unexplained heart palpitations and night sweats after being exposed to the soft, creamy, luxurious naked shoulders of Ms. Goya. I trust you have communicated your concerns to HR and are awaiting a reply in the form of a munificent settlement.for your anguish and suffering. As for me, I have no such recourse as I am not an employee of the soon to be bankrupt Gannett corporation.

Shauna...3156 sq feet. 4 bed 3.5 bath. New home for (only?)...$319,000. The same model sold for $359,000 2 months ago, and some very (very very very very very very) unhappy neighbors paid $479,000 last year for the same model house. I've beeen doing my research on this area for about 2 years and finally pounced today. We're pretty excited. I think I done guud.
Scott.....has many bedrooms and bathrooms empty for Hive members to visit No. Cal.
November 13th, 2009 at 8:26 pm
Congrats Scott!
November 13th, 2009 at 8:33 pm
scott:
You done guud
November 13th, 2009 at 8:51 pm
right on Scott. that buggah's floor space is almost as big as my whole lot!!
November 13th, 2009 at 8:55 pm
Scott: Congrats!!!! Which room is mine?
Glad all your research paid off!!
turk fontaine: Haha!!! Anon is funny!!! What on earth could my defense BEE??
November 13th, 2009 at 9:04 pm
what, Shauna, no pahtay tonight? either that or checking up on the hive from a mobile device?
November 13th, 2009 at 9:15 pm
matt: Do I look like a party girl to you?
November 13th, 2009 at 9:26 pm
QB: Looks can be deceiving....
November 13th, 2009 at 9:47 pm
Guud job Scott! congrats!
November 13th, 2009 at 10:16 pm
wasn't there a certain regal head tilt featured on a particular societal webpage?

Congratulations to Scott the Homeowner! Did you buy the home cash out?
Sally>>>*wondering how a home is sold to an applicant with "employer" section blank*
November 13th, 2009 at 11:40 pm
Shauna: great Metromix Pics! My friends and I always wonder if we were ever that cute when we were young 'uns.
I wonder if Rod is really gonna do a RetroMix. It's catchy. He should.
Yah?
November 13th, 2009 at 11:45 pm
@Scott... sorry, when I read my comment again it sounded kind of invasive. Hope I didn't come across to you that way.
I really am excited for you and your family!
November 14th, 2009 at 3:44 am
Mornin' Hive!
November 14th, 2009 at 4:49 am
Yep, there's definitely more bang for the buck on the mainland. Well done!
November 14th, 2009 at 5:09 am
sally, we gotta sell the house in Hawaii in order to puchase this one. That makes me sad, but the house in Palolo is really old and, although we have great tenants, it's only a matter of time before a big repair occurs.
Scott-gonna have to take M off my payroll as official house watcher in Palolo (but not for 1 1/2 years! )
Shauna-there's a nice guest suite on the second story. When my wife's out of town....ha ha, I ain't gonna go there!
Scott-really loves his wife and hope she isn't looking over my shoulder...
November 14th, 2009 at 5:34 am
Good Morning jack & Tahoe-Gal!
No one out to play yet?
November 14th, 2009 at 5:35 am
Good Morning BS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You act up I going come ova dea and give you lickens. Just "bend over" first.
Da Wife and I woke up regular time today as we making 40 SPAM musubi's......you know, what we locals lurve and what BS's neighbor's think is hand held dog food. Da Teenager has a tennis match and this is the second week of the season and our second time doing "snacks".
Out of 17 kids, when the sign-up sheet was passed around showing the calendar for the tennis matches, by the time we got the sheet EVERYONE SIGNED UP FOR "DRINKS". The column for "SNACKS" was %$#^$@# EMPTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WTFWD? (threw that one in for Queenie)
Kinda makes you pissy as a parent but WHATCHU GONNA DO??????
Everyone got different "value systems" I guess. One thing that I KNOW........the HIVE would ALWAYS COME THROUGH!
OL..........thank goodness for coffee and patience
November 14th, 2009 at 5:36 am
Sally...........I can play...until Da Wife YELLS AT ME to get my buttola ova in da kitchen.
OL............time to get the 1st cup of coffee
November 14th, 2009 at 5:48 am
Who wants to play? Whea's Ynaku? Hurry up you fellas and fellettes........pretty soon.......I GOTTA WORK!
OL........soon the SPAM musubi assembly line opens
November 14th, 2009 at 5:50 am
Anyone know if it looks like its gonna rain? With OUR LUCK it will and all dese musubi's gonna get eaten and the players/coaches NOT GONNA WORK FOR IT.
Oh well............gotta do it.

November 14th, 2009 at 7:10 am
HO HO HO.....TOPLESS weather
Gonna tan my abs ... hope I don't cause any accidents 
November 14th, 2009 at 7:12 am
Good Morning.
Sorry OL, I was taking the dog s out to DOO their thing. Then I grabbed the paper while watching my dogs eat their dog food. My Beeg dog no eat unless somebody watching him. But give um one chicken tender jerky, and he gobble that buggah.
Plus was cold and didn't want to get out of bed. Neither did the dogs. I think get snow on the mountain but everything is overcast and looks like might rain again.
Gotta finish my project in the garage quick. Taking up space. Gotta refinish this old dresser my wife got from her friend. The veneers coming apart. Had to glue them back. Now gotta sand em and re-stain it.
But I rather play with you guys today
November 14th, 2009 at 7:19 am
Good morning hive!
It's drizzling here in the valley.
@OL, masako and I made 40 spam musubi's early in the mornings many times for my son's soccer games. I have my son help us too by wrapping up each one in plastic wrap.
November 14th, 2009 at 7:26 am
Mornin' again.
Scott: good job on your new castle.
I am at work at 7am on a Saturday for training.
At least we got breakfast.
Jack....hopes participation is minimal
November 14th, 2009 at 7:34 am
Good Morning everyone!
I think the count's at 28 or so...........Da Wife's getting "hot"......not dat kine "hot".......da irras kine hot.
And the weather outside looks "frightening".....shoots, I forget the rest of the lyrics.
OL........gotta get back to da kitchen......OR ELSE
November 14th, 2009 at 7:36 am
OL: it's raining in sand island
November 14th, 2009 at 7:41 am
Howzit Jack! And my apologies......dats YOU in da pic with Shauna and some other lovely.....right?
Yeah, looks like RAIN today and dose buggahs will probably cancel the match. WHOA! I just heard thunder............
OL.............."timing" is everything
November 14th, 2009 at 8:01 am
Okay................we PAU. Have a good day/weekend everyone!
OL.......is outta hea!
November 14th, 2009 at 8:22 am
Thx Sally, n' a guud-mornin' backatcha! Ho, wish I could stay and play but I haff-to-haff-to get off my duff and accomplish something...anything...ODDa-wise the day just slips away, so I can jes' peek in choto-while.
Wish I could help OL make musubi or any kine snacks cuz' I lurrv to putz around in the kitchen and it's fun to do mega-amounts...no fun when there's just two.
Math question: 17 kids = 40 musubi = 'snack'?
November 14th, 2009 at 8:25 am
Good morning!! Got a dentist appointment this morning. Ugh!
jack: Why do you wake up four hours early for your training? Never mind! You probably got home from partying at that time!
Ocean Lover: Ooh, I just lurve Spam musubi!!! Did you put furikake in the rice? Did you make fancy-kine Spam?
All those kids are lucky! But I hear what you mean about certain parents always quick to sign up for the easy things. Spread the joy! Have some class! And I think the lyrics you were looking for included lightning or something. Ukuhead used that line the other night when he saw my high BJ score! 
Ynaku: Ooh, I need someone to refinish my kitchen and bathroom cabinets. I like my wood all shiny and new!
anklebiters: So how many accidents did you cause?
Trying to look all nice and tan BEEfore you meet up with The Hive? 
sally: You probably were cuter!
RetroMix is a great idea for Rodney. Now I gotta think of something more creative! 
M and Tahoe-gal: Morning!!
November 14th, 2009 at 8:27 am
sally: It's less fun to cook for one!
And I think each kid gets 2.0284759606 musubis each. 
I'm sure matt can tell us the exact portion!

Ahhh, come home to find playmates in da hive!
Gig at Kapiolani Bandstand for the Juvenille Diabetes Walk, had to be there around 7am. Walked to the park (only about 20min).
9am the sky opened up! Walkers were returning and started dancing in front of the bandstand in the rain! Fun! Not us, we went under the roof while the guys played.
Gig got cut short yayyy! and they even gave us pizza!
I need a nap, running on 2 1/2 hrs sleep.
November 14th, 2009 at 12:08 pm
Shauna: I haven't bought Spam in the 9yrs I've lived in this apt. I eat an occasional Spam Musubi... I am, after all, a local girl.
When I used to make a lot of Spam Musubi I made it teri spam style and added fresh Fukujinzuke (not canned). Was soooo ono ono!
November 14th, 2009 at 12:14 pm
Sorry, I'm making up for the lost morning with you folks. ha!
At the park I made friends with about 15 prisoners. hahaha fo' real kine. They were all seated in the front row, so were we in the beginning. They were good fun guys and I was joking with them, not realizing what they were. Then I saw the luna, they guy w/ the blue security uniform with the OCCC patch.
ME: "so what are you guys?"
Them: "OCCC".
Me: "How come you here?"
Them: "Community service, we're in transition to Laumaka, almost pau our time"
Me: "And only get one guard?"
Them: "yah, cuz we good"
Me: "You need help?" (making "Big Body")
Sally>>>*I don't think I scared them*
November 14th, 2009 at 3:36 pm
Sally, I haven't heard dat for long time! That makes me think of Andy Bumatai, rolling up his shirt from his opu.
BEEzee day today. Kanikapila this morning, then Sweetie and friend had a planning session for an `ukulele workshop they're doing in December. Then I went grocery shopping and exercised, and we're going to a symphony concert tonight. Whew! Thank goodness tomorrow we have nothing on the schedule except sleeping in and watching t.v. (and maybe some laundry).
OL: how many seconds did it take for the 40 musubi to disappear? Good on you and Ocean Hater for taking up the responsibility.
November 14th, 2009 at 4:23 pm
Okay...........back home. Ocean Hater's spam musubi recipe she first bakes the SPAM and tries to sop up as much oil as possible. Then she simmers in shoyu/sugar/garlic. Puts furikake inside also. Pretty yummy if I do say so myself.
Naturally they started the match and about 10 minutes later it RAINED. They have to "make up" the match on Wednesday. Nevertheless they whacked about 34 spam musubi's in about 20 minutes.
And another thing.......the parents that brought drinks today ALSO brought drinks this past Thursday. We brought McDouble hamburgers on Thursday and the musubi's and M & M cookies TODAY.
WHERE THEY HECK are the other parents?????????????????? They no SHAME or what??????????????????????
OL.......small kine "irras"
November 14th, 2009 at 5:09 pm
sally: Wow, hanging out with prisoners!!
Ocean Lover: So what did you do with the leftover musubis??
teejay, anklebiters, jack: How's the UH game shaping up???
November 14th, 2009 at 5:34 pm
1st qtr UH 14. NM 0 and it's cooooold.
November 14th, 2009 at 5:35 pm
On a good note, Hawaii is up 14-0 at the end of the first quarter. I they're playing better but this is Hawaii we're talking about. Let's see what happens at the half. (I did that whole post without using the word "sucks". That maybe a record)
November 14th, 2009 at 5:38 pm
Greg Salas is an incredible receiver. Nuff said.
November 14th, 2009 at 5:40 pm
UH leads 17-0.
November 14th, 2009 at 5:47 pm
Da Teenager ate a few more musubi's this afternoon and I think there's around 3 in the fridge. Wind's picking up and I think its gonna start raining.
OL..........good night to STAY HOME
November 14th, 2009 at 5:50 pm
jack: Stay warm and no ice cream for you tonight!!
teejay: Woo-hoo! Game updates! And let's see how long you'll stay positive!
Ocean Lover: So you're going to stay home and do some more cooking?

November 14th, 2009 at 5:53 pm
Good evening QB and Hive!
November 14th, 2009 at 5:54 pm
ASU sucks ..... there, said it for teejay
November 14th, 2009 at 5:57 pm
14-7 Oregon.....
November 14th, 2009 at 6:04 pm
Hey...catching the Hawaii game on espn360. Hawaii looking good...17-0. Hawaii ball, 4th and goal at the NM St 5.
November 14th, 2009 at 6:05 pm
17-7 Oregon - they have the FUGLIEST uniform on the planet
feathers on the shoulders 
November 14th, 2009 at 6:05 pm
ankles: That was a good one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
November 14th, 2009 at 6:07 pm
missed FG. well, it was after all a whopping 23 yard attempt. all sorts of things can affect the flight path...high snap, trajectory angle, wind shear...
November 14th, 2009 at 6:07 pm
wade: Did USC play today?
November 14th, 2009 at 6:07 pm
anklebiters: Why aren't you watching the UH game? Watch the sucky ASU one later!!
wade: Hello there! So cool how you always make it a point to take time out to tune in to the UH game via espn360 and our own O&E commentator teejay!
November 14th, 2009 at 6:10 pm
USC got a WHOOPING today
UofA also lost....topsy turvy PAC-10...
November 14th, 2009 at 6:11 pm
24-7 Oregon........ASU sucks
November 14th, 2009 at 6:12 pm
Hooo, long day ~ but not BEEzy like OL and OH...you get good hearts.
We use to do assigned rotation for the grinds. Ya' gotta pipe up or dey are going to keep taking advantage of you guys. They go home with full tummies and you going home with empty wallets.
The musubi recipe sounds good. I've never tried shoyu, sugar and garlic ~ only shoyu, mirin and ginger, then added furukake-sesame sprinkles, thin slice of sweet omelette and slice of takuan. Haven't made it in years, doesn't work when only two.
I guess spam musubi is the farthest thing from your mind right now.
Gotta watch UH game on computer tomorrow...but maybe not.
November 14th, 2009 at 6:12 pm
Shauna:
My satellite is out and Cox doesn't allow espn360..

November 14th, 2009 at 6:15 pm
it's not a happy day in Trojan town. i can't even remember when USC didn't win the PAC 10. Maybe 7 years ago? Stanford looks very good this year.
November 14th, 2009 at 6:16 pm
At the beginning of the house hockey season, we would have a sheet with all of the kids name on it with their assigned game to bring goodies. You don't want to feel the wrath of KAN by the kids if you forget
November 14th, 2009 at 6:17 pm
uh oh...4th down deep in NM St territory...checking the humidity and wind shear...
November 14th, 2009 at 6:18 pm
Yes!!!! The word 'sucks' has left the WAC this week and now resides in the PAC-10!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
November 14th, 2009 at 6:18 pm
Hawaii decides to forgo the very risky and simply unsafe FG conditions.
November 14th, 2009 at 6:18 pm
teejay:
We have a freshman 6'8" QB ... don't expect much the rest of the season...we may not even bee bowl eligible at the end...that is sad, can't even win 6 games
November 14th, 2009 at 6:19 pm
Salas comes up non clutch again.
November 14th, 2009 at 6:20 pm
17-0 at the half and it's gone from cold to fricken cold.
Jack...needs some hot chocolate
November 14th, 2009 at 6:21 pm
Did anyone notice that SMU beat UTEP...which means SMU is bowl eligible. Good job, June. They may actually get a Hawaii Bowl bid...can you believe that Hawaii couldn't hold up our end of the bargain.
November 14th, 2009 at 6:22 pm
31-7 Oregon ..... ASU (...fill in the blank..)
November 14th, 2009 at 6:24 pm
ankles: sorry about your satellite. was wondering what was up with the AZ updates...not that we don't...um...care.
November 14th, 2009 at 6:28 pm
Four hour nap! Woke up and thought it was Sunday! hahaha My SIL called, she made curry, don't have to ask me twice... I'm there! Get to play with my keiki boy too!
Having a great weekend so far!
November 14th, 2009 at 6:31 pm
wade:
The updates is to keep teejay happy
...someone has to be sucky....ASU is the problem child tonight...
November 14th, 2009 at 6:36 pm
Bryant Moniz, a walk-on sophomore has more guts and smarts than any QB Hawaii has seen since Colt walked on in '05.
November 14th, 2009 at 6:38 pm
Second half coming up.
"stay away from the dark place, stay away from the dark place, stay away from the dark place...."
November 14th, 2009 at 6:40 pm
teej: not quite there yet...I thought Moniz should've scored on his scramble but slid safely into the NM St 5. He should've Tebowed his way into the endzone.
November 14th, 2009 at 6:40 pm
wade: What does non clutch mean??
sally: I love curry! The Japanese-style kind.
jack: Fricken cold? Are you BEEing a bit dramatic? It's Hawaii, not the Mainland!
Do they sell hot chocolate at the stadium? Let me know!!
anklebiters: Oh, no satellite. Are you going to any games when you are here? Sign-up food sheets for the sports are a good idea...
November 14th, 2009 at 6:44 pm
wade: Hawaii's QB's are made in China or made of china cuz they break so easy. We need Moniz to slide.
"stay away from the dark place...."
November 14th, 2009 at 6:51 pm
shauna: i've heard that Salas is really good. been the go to guy all season. but i've only been able to watch one other game besides this one. Salas in the "clutch" situations has come up with hands of stone. (ie ball somewhere else...like the ground)
November 14th, 2009 at 7:02 pm
"stay away from the dark place, stay away from the dark place......."
mmmmmppppfffff, mmmphff!!!!!!
November 14th, 2009 at 7:03 pm
UH isn't moving the ball like in the first half. Maybe they should go to the run again. New Mexico is moving the ball against a very porous UH D.
"stay away from the dark place....."
November 14th, 2009 at 7:04 pm
Shauna:
I dunno about attending a UH game...only the Navy game is available while I'm there.
November 14th, 2009 at 7:05 pm

"stay away from the dark place"
November 14th, 2009 at 7:09 pm
Spoke too soon.
November 14th, 2009 at 7:13 pm
Oh no!!!!!!! The coaches are making Moniz run. Moniz was made in Hawaii so I think its going to be okay (hopefully).
November 14th, 2009 at 7:13 pm
XXX sucks
November 14th, 2009 at 7:16 pm
UH 17 NM 6. No hot chocolate at the stadium.
Shauna: can I borrow your friend the koala, my toes are numb.

Oh great they broke Moniz too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mmmphhffff, smmmmmkk!!!

November 14th, 2009 at 7:23 pm
wade: We don't need "the" QB to be broke too. She was made in....well I stay away from the dark place.
November 14th, 2009 at 7:24 pm

November 14th, 2009 at 7:31 pm
16 yd punt? eh, no worry... we know how you feel...
November 14th, 2009 at 7:34 pm
Shane Austin has cooled down and Greg Salas is beat!!!!!!!!!! He has 16 receptions already and almost two hundred yards. UH gives it up on downs.
November 14th, 2009 at 7:36 pm
Oregon TD
38-21
November 14th, 2009 at 7:38 pm
O&E tailgate?
When is that game??

teejay: Everything looks good!! UH's gonna win, right??
November 14th, 2009 at 7:40 pm

November 14th, 2009 at 7:41 pm
the thing about espn360...the commercials are at MUCH HIGHER VOLUME than the actual broadcast...
November 14th, 2009 at 7:47 pm
Alright, UH leads 24-6 with four seconds left, I think we have this game wrapped up.
November 14th, 2009 at 7:47 pm
UH wins! 24-6. And yes I stayed for the whole game.
Jack...may need a grilled cheese to celebrate.
November 14th, 2009 at 7:47 pm
Whadayaknow....I can catch espn360
COX must have allowed it recently...I can watch the replay of the UH game 
November 14th, 2009 at 7:48 pm
Unbelievable!!!!!!!!!! UH wins another one and more so I stayed away from the dark place!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
November 14th, 2009 at 7:49 pm

Good evening hive!
We went SUPing this evening. Masako did soooo good! She paddle around off and on for almost 45 min. and never fell once! Her hair never got wet! It was a little harder because of the breeze but she did GREAT!

wade: I tend to be a little critical of UH sports when they play poorly and that's my dark place. I went to therapy and did some yoga today so all was good.
Thanks M!!!!!! Doubt it will last but thanks anyways.

weather was junky today.
November 14th, 2009 at 8:16 pm
@Scott, yes we went to Ala's. The weather was junk so the beach was empty, perfect for SUP.
November 14th, 2009 at 8:18 pm

anklebiters: Are you actually going to watch the replay??
jack: I had Menchie's today, too!

Shauna,

teejay,

Matt----sore and fishless on a saturday night (but was a nice day with good fishing company).

November 15th, 2009 at 8:12 am
QB: mittens?? hmmm maybe Jack better get crackin then.... yours were done so nicely, I'd like some too please, hee hee...
So I finally read the topic... O.M.G! I cannot believe these people actually WIN their freakin cases! This kind of people just piss me off! THEY are stupid, AND they get tons of money for their own stupidity?? GEEEZ! hmm... are they related to the judges or jury members for crying out loud? How do these people not see the stupidity and go award the losers for it! GAH!
Hmmm... what can I do, so I can go sue and get money too already... bhahahh with my luck... NUTTIN for you, for your own stupidity!!
November 15th, 2009 at 9:02 am

Dang rain canceled my tennis today!!
HNL2LAS: You never know if you don't try! Now go fake it and slip on a banana peel in a high-end casino!
Here, I just finished my banana! Sending the peel your way!
matt: That other song was also good! I just love how they put a new twist on these songs!

scott:
Wish you were here for the next TRIAD get together....more goodies from ASU
Is there a PAC-10 tie-in this year with the Hawaii Bowl
shauna:
Yep, if I have time today I'll watch the UH game.
teejay:
Just imagine if LWJ was this far along when Colt was here....it would of driven the defenses crazy...will it be a run
pass 
I was at Trader Joe's this morning and guess what I saw
A flattened, dried banana in a package
It was road kill

HNL2LASt:
BF should wear his 'teet out to the mall and wait till someone make a whispered remark about his pearly whites. He can sue them for defamation of character, humiliation and emotional grief....we can remodel the man cave with the proceeds
November 15th, 2009 at 9:43 am
Speaking of our upcoming party, here's a tune to set the mood:
MIley Cyrus - Party In The U.S.A.: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M11SvDtPBhA&feature=related
anklebiters: Poor bananas! They are BEEing discarded everywhere!!
November 15th, 2009 at 9:46 am
Hey, an HNL2LAS sighting! Woohoo! I feel your pain about the cold - it was in the low 40s as Sweetie and I walked to and from the concert last night. Thank goodness for boots and wool coats.
Rainy but warmer in Seattle this morning. We're experiencing the start of a major Pineapple Express system that's supposed to be in effect for the next couple of days.
November 15th, 2009 at 10:26 am
ankles: I hear you. I wish Amber Kaufman was the same way. She's an awesome middle this year but her first two were only so so.
November 15th, 2009 at 10:34 am
It looks like rain all week
At least I won't bee bringing the HEAT with me on Wednesday 
November 15th, 2009 at 10:53 am
Mornin Hive.
Rain canceled my plans for this morning.
So I was forced to goto the bar and watch football. 
. My team lost but it is nice to see some long lost faces. Have a dry Sunday everyone.
HNL2LAS: no gloves for you.
November 15th, 2009 at 1:32 pm
Wie wins!!!
November 15th, 2009 at 1:49 pm
jack and ankles: Yes the girl finally wins one. It was only a matter of time. Hope she does even better next season.
November 15th, 2009 at 2:33 pm
Oh man...you blew it for me
I had it DVR'd and was going to watch it later tonight...was avoiding any sports news till then .... 
November 15th, 2009 at 2:35 pm
GUUD for her.....the monkey is off her back now...I wonder if she'll be full time on the LPGA next year and forgo Stanford
November 15th, 2009 at 3:05 pm
ankles: Sorry for the 'spoiler'. That sucks!!!!
November 15th, 2009 at 3:26 pm
Ankles: sorry about that.
It still maybe worth the watch, the guys here say it wasn't her typical round.
Jack...so sorry
November 15th, 2009 at 7:16 pm
Good evening QB and Hive
November 15th, 2009 at 8:42 pm
David In Oregon: Good evening and good night! Got an early start tomorrow!
jack, teejay and anklebiters: Wow, I am surprised that Wie finally won!! Wonder how much money she also made from that win...
KAN: What's a Pineapple Express system?
November 16th, 2009 at 7:07 am
