Love and friendship

November 19th, 2009 by Shauna

From loving someone now and forever to I-can’t-even-be-your-friend, these ODD relationship stories top this week’s round-up of strange headlines. But you might also want to watch for any falling ice from an airplane, brush up on your rock-paper-scissors skills and think twice if you want to put your ninja skills to use...

French woman marries dead partner
UPI

DOMMARY-BARONCOURT, France — A French woman said she was granted a wedding to her fiance nearly a year after his death in a car collision.

Magali Jaskiewicz, 26, petitioned to be granted a posthumous wedding to Jonathan George, her partner of six years and father of her two children, after he died in a road accident two days following his Nov. 25, 2008, marriage proposal, The Guardian reported Tuesday.

Jaskiewicz stood in her wedding gown next to a picture of George during Saturday's ceremony in Dommary-Baroncourt.

"I'm not really in the mood to celebrate," she said after the ceremony. "We're going to drink a cup of coffee and I will thank those who have supported me."

French officials said dozens of posthumous weddings are approved each year.

Unfriend is U.S. dictionary's 2009 word of the year
Associated Press

NEW YORK — What word sums up 2009? How about unfriend?

That's the New Oxford American Dictionary's 2009 Word of the Year. It means to remove someone as a friend on a social networking Web site such as Facebook.

Each year Oxford University Press tracks how the English language is changing and chooses a word that best reflects the mood of the year.

Oxford lexicographer Christine Lindberg says unfriend has "real lex appeal."

Finalists for 2009 also included netbook, which is a small laptop, and sexting, which is sending sexually explicit texts and pictures by cell phone.

Chunk of ice crashes through roof of Colorado home
Associated Press

BRUSH, Colo. — A basketball-sized chunk of ice crashed through the roof of a family’s Colorado home after apparently falling from an airplane passing overhead.

Danelle Hagan and her 9-year-old daughter were at home in Brush on Saturday when they heard the kitchen ceiling come crashing down. They were not injured.

“I hear a huge, what sounded like an explosion. And I look over and my kitchen is basically in shambles,” Hagan told KMGH-TV in Denver. “It was very terrifying.”

The Federal Aviation Administration was sending investigators to the home to investigate whether the ice came from an airplane. The Hagans put some of the ice in their freezer.

FAA spokesman Mike Fergus said Wednesday the ice chunk appears to be “Rime ice,” which can build up on the outside of a plane’s fuselage when it flies through cold and wet air.

Fergus says that it doesn’t appear the ice was “blue ice,” which comes from an airplane’s toilet.

'Captain America' wins rock-paper-scissors title
Associated Press

TAYLOR, Mich. – A Michigan man has won the world Rock Paper Scissors championship in Toronto. Tim Conrad clinched the title after five hours of play and nine matches at the Steam Whistle Brewery on Saturday night.

Facing off against his best friend in the first all-American final in championship history, Conrad beat Tom Butkin with paper covering rock.

Organizers say Conrad dressed as Captain America during the competition to honor his home country.

Conrad takes home $7,000 in prize money.

The championship was organized by the World RPS Society.

Police: Would-be Seattle ninja impaled on fence
Associated Press

SEATTLE — Seattle police say a man who thought he was ninja was impaled on a metal fence when he tried to leap over it.

An officer who was looking for an assault victim nearby Monday night heard the man screaming for help. Police supported him to prevent further injuries until medics arrived and took him to a hospital, where he was in serious condition in intensive care on Tuesday.

Police spokeswoman Renee Witt wrote in a department Web site posting that officers thought the man might have been involved in the reported assault, but he insisted he was just a ninja trying to clear a 4- to 5-foot-tall fence.

Witt says the man was "overconfident in his abilities," and that alcohol likely played a role.

His name was not released.

    First!!


  2. Ynaku:

    2nd


  3. Ynaku:

    Good Morning to all my non-unfriends :P

    How about some "Blue Ice"</strong"? ewwwwww


  4. Ynaku:

    bah, too early. Put on your glasses so you no mess up your tags. oops, it is on. Oh well :oops:


  5. David In Oregon:

    I don't even want to think of blue ice. :shock:


  6. David In Oregon:

    Speaking of blue ice, isn't there an actual product by that name? I could've sworn there is a product (by that name) that you can use in coolers in place of regular ice, to keep your beer, food, soda, etc. nice and cool.


  7. Shauna:

    Morning!

    David In Oregon and Ynaku: The cooler-type blue ice is the only kind I know of...what are you guys talking about? ;)

    Ocean Lover: Just a bit late on the new topic! :lol:


  8. teejay:

    Morning all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (again)


  9. Ynaku:

    Shauna :) Read your post about that chunk of ice that fell through the kitchen roof.

    Fergus says that it doesn’t appear the ice was “blue ice,” which comes from an airplane’s toilet.

    ewww ewww 8O 8O

    :lol:

    Morning teejay and da rest of you Oddballs :P

    OK Jun Ken Po


  10. David In Oregon:

    YM-QB: I was thinking the same kind of blue ice you were. Of course now, after seeing this article, I won't look at that product in quite the same way. I just hope no one hands me one of those things and says, "...here, use this crap in the cooler to keep the beer cold." :shock:


  11. hanapaa:

    @ QB:
    Fergus says that it doesn’t appear the ice was “blue ice,” which comes from an airplane’s toilet


  12. KAN:

    Guuuuuuuud morning Hive!

    I saw that story about the overconfident "ninja" in our local paper. What a numbnut.

    Posthumous wedding? Was that so she could get survivor benefits for herself and her kids? Kind of an ODD concept.


  13. David In Oregon:

    KAN: That's what I was wondering. Could some of these weddings be for collecting survivor benefits and/or suing for other stuff?


  14. Shauna:

    hanapaa, David In Oregon and Ynaku: Oops, I saw that but I just didn't connect the dots at first!

    KAN: Hmm, survivor benefits. Never thought of that angle!!


  15. David In Oregon:

    QB: connect the dots? You want me to put more messages up like I did yesterday, so you can try and connect more dots (and dashes) ? ;-)


  16. M:

    Good morning David In Oregon, Ynaku, Shauna, teejay, hanapaa, KAN and da hive!

    Shauna, you are up early. :)


  17. David In Oregon:

    Good morning M, what is for breakfast today?


  18. matt:

    morning. there's a blue disinfectant chemical that they put in airplane lav systems that turns everything in there blue. once in a while, there's a leak in the system up at 30K feet and the frozen stuff is blue ice. when there's a spill on the ground (un frozen) it's "blue water".


  19. Shauna:

    matt: I've always disliked that blue color. It's too eerily blue!!

    M: I'm an early BEE!!! :D


  20. Ynaku:

    Blue on blue, heartache on heartache ...... sorry no access to u2b at work :(


  21. matt:

    Shauna, if you think you don't like it as a passenger, try working with the stuff (not arms deep, but working with the guys who are arms deep) in a spill situation...yuck!!


  22. Ocean Lover:

    AAAAAAAAAAAAACK! I missed the new post! Here I BEE catching up on this morning's world events, "green" hints to help the environment, PETA news, tricycle repair tips, etc...... ;-)

  32. EMM386:

  33. sally:

    OL..........da BEES bee teaching each uddah new words today


  42. sally:

    no, for real kine, you donno what is. You guys don't watch Oprah? LOL

    Hemaphrodite: Intersex is a group of conditions where there is a discrepancy between the external genitals and the internal genitals (the testes and ovaries). The older term for this condition, hermaphroditism ...

    In other words, they got both. Not necessarily fully formed, but sometimes it is so difficult to determine at birth that they guess M or F. Hey, not my definition... ya gotta watch Discovery Health Channel.

    Or Oprah.

    @Shauna: serious, I never heard the word unfriend BEEfore. Where I been?


  43. Shauna:

    EMM386: Stupidity surrounds us...speaking of ninjas, how about some music today on movie soundtracks featuring cool ninja scenes? :D

    HNL2LAS: Considering dozens of those marriages are approved each year, wonder why she waited nearly a year...

    Ocean Lover: Thanks for the education!!

    So who does the Finger of Shame go to this morning? It's not even 9 a.m. yet!!


  44. Shauna:

    I take that back...sally's definition is much more educational!! Don't know if she is that but I thought I read once that she is bisexual...

    David In Oregon: Your shoe comment is out of moderation!


  45. sally:

  46. sally:

    @Shauna: glad I could BEE of edumacational service to you today. ha! I copied it from Google definition... didn't want to say in my own words and risk getting the Finger of Shame award. Leave that to the shameless experts!

    Still wondering... what is 'halunka'?


  47. Ocean Lover:

    OL.............................STRANGE discussions this morning


  48. matt:

    So, to recap the week thus far: on monday the hive was buzzing about chamingas, chamongas and putting your balls in the hole. this lasted through tuesday. wednesday brought forth a discussion on loose pubes. and today we're talking about he-she's
    what will tomorrow bring?


  49. BananaFysh:

    Good Morning Hive!

    Interestinf stories and conversations today. ;)

    I thought I read that Lady Gaga is bisexual, not a hermaphrodite. :shock:

    But you never know.....


  50. Ynaku:

    Halunka = Shortened form of Ahanakokolele

    Add that to O&E's dictionary :lol:


  51. BananaFysh:

    How come OL dunno "halunka?" :?

    I expect Queenie not to know that kinda stuff, not OL! :shock:

    :lol:


  52. matt:

    Shauna, jun-ken-po, known as Rock-paper-scissors or roshambo is actually a big time gambling game among some of the big money poker players. they literally gamble thousands of dollars on it. some of them try to detect patterns in their opponent's choices and capitalize on it as well as attempt to induce mistakes by their opponents (setting up false patterns then countering when their opponent "catches on".)
    if there's a human element mix with a modicum of chance, people will gamble on it and some will exploit it.


  53. BananaFysh:

    So, how exactly was this "ninja" impaled on the fence?

    Did it stab him in the leg, or did it, uhhhhhh, "go in through the out door?" :shock:

    Banana ..... imagining a puppet


  54. Shauna:

    matt: Gasp!! I'll have you know that my topics weren't about those last two... ODD how they somehow stray to such themes!!

    So, to recap the week thus far: on monday the hive was buzzing about chamingas, chamongas and putting your balls in the hole. this lasted through tuesday. wednesday brought forth a discussion on loose pubes. and today we're talking about he-she's
    what will tomorrow bring?

    BananaFysh: Imagining a puppet?!?! Bwahahaha!

    Did it stab him in the leg, or did it, uhhhhhh, "go in through the out door?" :shock:


  55. Rodney Lee:

    Shauna:
    I take that back...sally's definition is much more educational!! Don't know if she is that but I thought I read once that she is bisexual...

    Wow sally. No secrets are safe here, eh? :shock: :wink:


  56. Shauna:

    matt: So how does the tournament work? Once you lose you're out and you keep challenging others till you're the last man standing? Although I love to gamble, I think I'd rather play rock-paper-scissors than bet on it!

    ...I'm still trying to figure out how to play this tomorrow night in a big group... I'm picturing we form two lines and play each person down the line??


  57. Shauna:

    Rodney: Haha, there are no secrets in The Hive! Well, sorta... ;)


  58. Rodney Lee:

    "whoosh" :sad:


  59. Ocean Lover:

    Banana..........I wonder if "halunka" is a neighbor island term?

    I NEVER heard "halunka" BEEfore. :oops:

    And THANKS for the "mind image" of the guy impaled through the ahem "chute". Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww..............

  63. Kage:

    Good Morning All!

    @OL- I think "halunka" must be one neighbor island term. I never hear of it either. Growing up it was "hanaka" or "hanala".

    @BF - "in through the out door."... hahahaha


  64. sally:

    Found this on LGG
    http://www.thehollywoodgossip.com/2009/09/lady-gaga-addresses-hermaphrodite-rumors-vagina-very-offended/

    LGG sez that her beautiful (her descrip, not mine) VaJayJay (my words, not hers) is very offended. She's not offended, her VaJayJay is offended.

    Sorry gang, after a night and morning of only the company of a 4yr old, I am craving adult conversation.


  65. visitor:

    Good morning.

    @OL #47 - Elvis Song? Hilarious! I never heard of "halunka" either. I'm not going near the LGG discussion...


  66. opso:

    Queenie - i played a jan-ken-po tournament at a party once.

    they started off by giving each person a little money item of value.

    then you just battle with whoever (one time, best of 3 or 5, etc). the winner takes the losers iov (item of value).

    you keep doing this until ultimately one person goes undeafeted and wins all the iovs. :D


  67. Ynaku:

    Ice Shave vs Ice Cream
    Tomato Beef vs Beef Tomato
    Halunka vs Ahanakokolele
    Mango Pickle vs Pickled mango

    :lol: Take your pick.


  68. Ynaku:

    opso. I hold this iov is not my heinie lite :x

    Rodney: No, I did get it but just made a comment off the ending part of your comment. Promise. Seriously.

    Ynaku: ICE CREAM!!

    Ocean Lover: I also agree with you and the others that it is a Neighbor Island term. I also said "ahanakokolele" or "Hambaa." We need to teach these backward people a thing or two! :lol: :razz:

    Ocean Lover: So what do you publicly call them? And what do you really call them when you think no one is listening? ;)

    Ynaku: :D :D :D :D :D :D :D


  84. matt:

    Shauna,
    it's a 500 dollar buy in, single elimination tournament (winner moves on, loser is out). each match is a race to 5 (first with 5 wins wins the match). winner gets an entry to the world series of poker main event (10K).


  85. Ocean Lover:

    @ Queenie - "So what do you publicly call them? And what do you really call them when you think no one is listening?"

    To both questions........"my friends". :-)

    OL..................just telling da truth

    We're in the back room!! We can do shady things!

    :shock: :shock: :shock:


  88. Shauna:

    matt: Is that ever aired on TV?

    Ocean Lover: But what if they are not your friends and just a random person?

    opso: Now that is a great slogan!! :lol: Heh heh!!


  89. Ynaku:

    hey opso, she going ask for manju and I going tell her "We don't have Manju from Kitchen Two Ladies" Or no more chocolate covered shortbread cookies from "Candies Island Big"

    Go eat your "Cream Ice"

    :P


  90. matt:

    Shauna,
    I doubt they air it on tv. it's pretty much informal and not an official event at the world series. just a bunch of degen gamboolers, really. they may show snippets because some of the name players participate.


  91. Ocean Lover:

    @ Queenie - "But what if they are not your friends and just a random person?"

    Then I call dem "STUPID PEOPLE". ;-)

    OL.........gonna cavort in a few minutes


  92. Eli:

    Good afternoon and happy Thursday!!

    Blue ice with red beans in the middle. Yummy!! :P

    If I taught that wannabe ninja the real ninja skills then he would have no problem jumping over a fence while drunk. That is such an easy skill to master. :P


  93. Shauna:

    Ynkau: OOPS!!!! I forgot I really want some manju!! I like the one with the white beans. I guess black beans would BEE the second choice!! I think folks from the Big Island are the most FORWARD-thinking people I know!!!! :D :D


  94. matt:

    Eli,
    my double secret ninja school teaches how to go through fences. no jumping needed.


  95. sally:

    CHEE HOO!!!

    I just won a free Turkey and Ham from Fooland from Light 94.7 Kumu Radio!!!!!


  96. visitor:

    @ Sally - was that you? I was "half-listening" just awhile ago when Devon was teasing the winning caller. I should have paid more attention...congrats! That is lucky!!!


  97. EMM386:

    @Shauna: Got it. I'll try and whip up a playlist.


  98. sally:

    @visitor: yah, that was me! WHOO HOOO! I've been trying since last week after my friend won.

    Next contest... the iMac!


  99. Eli:

    matt: You go to a double secret ninja school? No wonder I never learned that skill. :P


  100. Eli:

    #100 :D


  101. Rodney Lee:

    @sally - I thought you'd be more of a 99.5 listener.


  102. Rodney Lee:

    @sally - or a 107.9 listener


  103. Rodney Lee:

    opso:
    sally - bottle caps? sooo......

    O&E = ODD bottle caps
    WWD?! = BEEa bottle caps
    MLC = milk covers (POGs) haha!

    MLC = Dice - big fuzzy dice. LOL


  104. sally:

    @Rod: We switch around at work but I'm at home today. I don't listen radio at home but I wanted to win this so bad!

    I don't listen to 107.9 but I went to a promo gig for their motorcycle giveaway and won a key for a chance to win the bike. I actually tried to sign over the papers (all legal shmeegal) to put BL's name but couldn't. So poho cuz I have no use for the bike. I am, however, keeping the tshirt. LOL

    ...fuzzy dice? You better stop BEEfore us overage folks get banned from da Hive.

    BF, #53: from the Seattle Times' crime blog (http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/theblotter/2010286564_police_would-be_ninja_impaled.html):

    "This never would've happened to Bruce Lee.

    Seattle police say an intoxicated 25-year-old man, who told officers he believed he was a ninja, was impaled on a metal spike Monday night after a failed attempt to jump a 5-foot fence.

    Around 11:15 p.m., officers responded to the 600 block of Seventh Avenue after a 41-year-old man called police to say he had been assaulted, said police spokeswoman Renee Witt. Officers arrived and found the impaled would-be ninja, Witt said.

    It turns out the older man, who was heavily intoxicated, tried to go into a sports bar in the 600 block of King Street, Witt said. The younger man, who isn't a bar employee, barred the man from going inside-- and an argument between the two men escalated into a fight.

    At one point, the men chased each other in the street, she said.

    In an attempt to get away, the younger man 'thought he'd basically be able to jump over this fence, and he didn't quite make it,' Witt said.

    As a police account of the incident notes, 'Clearly he was overconfident in his abilities.'

    That's when the older man called police to say he'd been assaulted.

    As police arrived to search for a suspect, one officer heard the 25-year-old's screams and found him stuck on the fence with the metal spike jutting out from his buttock, Witt said. The man was bleeding profusely.

    He was taken to Harborview Medical Center, she said. Questioned at the hospital, the man told police he believed he was a ninja.

    Since the two men 'were in the middle of the street, chasing each other around,' Witt said officers determined neither man would be arrested on suspicion of assault."

    Ouch.

    If you're not in love, but you have a friend and "benefits" then you get "unfriended", I guess that means you lose your benefits too.

    The only thing worse than the unfortunate stories above is if blue ice fell on you while you had a spike up your ass and your email just notified you that you've been kicked of Odds & Ends for life.

    Okay, hard theme. I ran out of Ninja songs. For those who like Final Fantasy and/or Dead or Alive, (or for those who like CG animation and have 45 minutes to kill), check out Monty Oum's Dead Fantsy:

    Did Queenie just call Neighbor Island people "backwards?" :evil:

    How rude! :x

    Hey, did you know I was a fortune teller too?

    I predict no manju or mochi in a certain copy-editor's future. :twisted:

    :razz:


  123. Rodney Lee:

    I think Neighbor Island people are the bestest. :smile:


  124. BananaFysh:

    @KAN -- YIKES! :shock:

    So, the article wasn't real clear, but did it actually "go in through the out door?" :?

    Or did the fence "tear him a new @$$#*!3?" :shock:

    Well, either way, if there's blood, it ain't good!

    "Rectum? Damn near killed him!" :lol:


  125. Ynaku:

    sally, never mind giving the bike to BL. I pay for shipping to Hilo on "YOUNG BRO" not the Supah Fairy. :P

    Ho Rod, make points yeah? :lol: I catch da hint.


  126. BananaFysh:

    @Ynaku -- Yeah, Largo knows how to play the game. ;)

    Not like somebody.

    :razz:


  127. anklebiters:

    Who has a/c at home :?: :lol:

    Jet lag :!:


  128. KAN:

    BF: COL (chuckled out loud)

    I was niele enough (and had a little bit of spare time) that I Google-earthed the area where the incident is supposed to have taken place (it's in the I-District, couple blocks from Uwajimaya). I can't find any kind of fence that would meet that description. I did find the sports bar that the lolos were supposed to be near, but no fence.


  129. anklebiters:

    ynaku:

    I took a picture of the breakfast we were served...I don't have a memory card reader on my laptop :-(

    M:

    I didn't know they had DTV out here...did you include a DVR with it?


  130. M:

    @anklebiter, no I didn't maybe I will upgrade later. Do you have DTV?

    It's so different from Oceanic Time Warner.


  131. anklebiters:

    M:

    I can't live without it....and the DVR is great...if you can, upgrade to the HD DVR and receiver. Its a whole level above cable, probably cheaper too :?: :!:


  132. HNL2LAS:

    Sally:oohh da lucky! YAY!


  133. HNL2LAS:

    For me growing up it was Halaaaa...and hanaokolele!


  134. M:

    @anklebiters, I switched to DTV because it was cheaper than Time Warner and I got more channels on top of that too. In this ecomony you gotta cut cost where ever you can.

    Anyone interested in to switching to DTV and save money, talk to me about it tomorrow night at the Triad pah-tay. I can get you a better deal than you can get on-line....


  135. sally:

    anklez! yayyy you're here! You're asking for a/c? This is one of the most gorgeous days we've had in a long time!

    @HNL2LAS: thanks! I just got back from Market City Foodland, home of the most horrible parking EVER! But I was smiling cuz I got my free stuff!

    M: I switched to NOTV. BEEn TV-less for a few years now and don't miss a thing. The few things I like to watch, I find online.

    OH! Just remembered... Ghost Hunters is on. BEE back later.


  136. Rodney Lee:

    I may not be able to make it tomorrow to the party. I got another commitment I must attend to. It will get over late in the evening and I will be in no condition to go out anywhere.

    Darn, I really wanted to meet Anklebiter IRL.


  138. David In Oregon:

  143. David In Oregon:

    QB: I got 3 glazed doughnuts, and 3 apple fritters. Both the fritters and the doughnuts are huuuuuuuuuuuge.

    Good evening Hive :)
    Would anybody like to buy insurance?

    (just preping for my job interview tomorrow)

    ....DiO, it looks like we're getting some rain tomorrow. Hope all is well up near Portland.


  147. David In Oregon:

    Scott: Things are okay....for now....I never know what will happen next, as things seem to change by the minute.

    Hope all is well with you and your ohana. Seems BL is heading this way sometime next month, so I'm compiling a list of stuff for him.

    DiO, you getting me drooling these past couple of days with all this talk of voodoo d-nuts. gotta bust out the baskin robbins rocky road, I guess.


  150. David In Oregon:

    matt: I know how you feel. I've been thinking of doughnuts since Halloween night; however, everytime I've been in Downtown, Voodoo has been crowded.

    Tonight was the first time when I was able to walk in the door without having to wait outside first.


  151. Shauna:

    David In Oregon: I never even had a voodoo!! I last bought apple fritters from Costco. They were pretty huge also!! How come you bought so much? Do they hold weel?

    Scott: Life insurance??

    Ocean Lover: Woo-hoo! Don't you love deals? Tart fart tart fart BJ BJ BJ BJ!!! :lol:

    M: See you tomorrow night!

    KAN: Storms make you want sweets and not warm liquids?


  152. M:

    Shuana, see you there! I hope there's new PEEps. :)


  153. David In Oregon:

    QB: No particular reason why I bought so much, other than I WANTED IT. I figured I could save what I don't eat today, and eat them tomorrow. :-D


  154. Shauna:

    M: We have one more day to persuade them!!

    David In Oregon: The little joys in life! :D

    EMM386: Thanks for all those music. Sounds like you know a lot of those gaming music. So are you going to your regular Friday-night hangout or you gonna come out and meet us BEES? :D
