So a young woman, born and raised in Kailua is walking along the beach with her dog, and a pigmentally challenged individual says, “Hey, what are you doing here? Locals aren’t allowed here!”

Overheard at potentially the best hotel/restaurant in Majuro:
Guy A: Did you get that rat yet?
Guy B: Which rat?
Guy A: The one running around the kitchen.
Hmm, this cant be good. Then I heard rumours of the staff getting a $5 bonus for each rat dispatched after hours.
Here it comes. A distinct change in the color and density of the albizia canopy indicates that they have set flower buds. Welcome to allergy season!
(0)Driving home the other day, I detected the faint sickly-sweet smell of something blooming along the highway. It was dark, so I couldn’t quite see if the albizia trees were starting to go off. Yesterday, I headed home while there was still daylight out, and lo, it was not the albizia but instead the Formosa koa to blame. Mango is over, avocado is finishing, and now it is the Formosa koa. Happy allergies!
(0)Weird. I was killing time before an appointment today, so spun by City Mill for some miscellaneous stuff I needed, amongst them, a replacement setscrew pedal pin for one of my sets of Atomlab pedals. Being an American BMX/FR company, I automatically assumed the pedal screws and pins would be SAE (I remember back to the days of being pissed to discover that Crupi stuff was not metric), but after digging through the various inch-measure setscrews and finding they didn’t match up to my sample setscrew, I checked the metric ones and discovered they were indeed M4! Hooray! Go metric!
Saw a 4-door Toyota Yaris sedan today with the “Yaris” nameplate on the low liftover bootlid replaced with a “Vitz” nameplate. Fool JDM tuner wannabe n00b! 30-seconds of web time would tell you that you sedan is called the Belta on the JDM, and the Vitz is only the five-door hatchback! The JDM doesn’t even have the 3-door hatch, so technically there is no such thing as a three-door Vitz. The three-door is only available in North America and in Europe as a Yaris.
(0)It’s funny how Auntie Linda’s weekly radio address has degenerated from gratuitous self-back-patting for the rare, phantasmically intangible, or elusive gains and accomplishments that she percieved that herself or her cronies were responsible for, to whining partisan political blame-laying and finger-pointing as to why she can’t accomplish anything. Waiter, this lame duck is salty and bitter, please take it back to the kitchen.
(0)What kind of d!ck brings his/her dog all the way up to Tripler Hospital and leaves dog poop on the lawn next to the sidewalk outside the family practice/pediatrics wing where the likelyhood is high that a child will step on the bacteria-laden krapp pile?
(0)Auntie Linda’s personal vendetta against the Honolulu rail system has gone too far with the wasting of State funds on hiring an investigator to look into the project in a time when the State coffers are already strapped for funds and legitimate employees are being laid-off or furloughed.
(0)On the left side of the KOHA Foods Hite Beer delivery truck:
“Hite Beer From Pure Spring Water 500ft. Below”
500-feet below? Below what? That’s called a well guys, as a Spring would typically be on the surface. Methinks either something was lost in the translation, or it’s a case of using original KDM Engrish advertising copy verbatim.
