Eat That Watermelon!
On Saturday, the extended fam headed to the Hawaii State Farm Fair at the Bishop Museum for some sun and fun. Like last year, the crowds were in full force even though we got there early. We became members of the Bishop Museum to bypass the long line for tickets.
Along with the kinda scary Backyard Monsters insect display, there were farm animals, kiddie rides, and all kinds of food. Here are some pics.
The highlight of the day had to be the Watermelon Eating Contest starring our own family prankster. While he’s not playing tricks on family members, triathlon training, or watching an Alien Ninja beatdown, he’s been known to win some eating challenges. Not the professional competitions, but don’t try to take him on. He’ll handily beat you as the crowds of the Hawaii State Farm Fair witnessed.
Let you witness the domination as well.

Yes, the challenge wasn’t even close, and yes, that guy in black did upchuck pink puke! If the timing is right, maybe the reigning champ can defend his title next year. Time to start the hype!
Update: the lone female in the contest is none other than Martha, a contributor of ShareYourTable.com where she blogs her experience at the Farm Fair.
Homeless’ House
Not trying to be mean to Hawaii’s homeless or anything, but I was somewhat impressed with this getup.
Hawaii’s Mean to the Homeless
Now here’s an interesting distinction… Hawaii is ranked the 8th city meanest to the homeless. I didn’t know such a stat was tracked. But if our state is going to be in the top 10, why not shoot for the top stop?
Maybe we can tap the homeless for some pee power.
How about making a picture book or web site of our homeless? Now that would be mean.
As a side tangent is the Mango Man really still with us or not? There are conflicting reports of his whereabouts. There is a guy that sure likes the Mango Man in Kailua, but is it the original Mango Man?
And what’s with that homeless guy usually at intersections in Liliha? He usually wears Jordan brand clothes as he asks for donations. Those are some respectable clothes he got on.
What’s Starbucks Up To?
Hey what’s Starbucks up to opening stores under a different name? The 15th Avenue Coffee and Tea? The Big Coffee? What’s up with that?
For Hawaii, can we expect a Coffee 939 as the day business model for Club 939? 😉
Nice Catch by a Non-Foodie
Over on the Degenerasian blog, there’s this post showing a dude catching a foul ball with his pizza box. Nice catch! Though he must not be a foodie since there’s no way he’d sacrifice his pizza for a foul ball!
What would you do?
U Can’t Touch Vader!
Just see what The Force can do if used for good on the dance floor.
Vader, don’t hurt’em!

Got Blue-Footed Booby!
Thanks to the World Wildlife Fund, we’re now proud owners of a blue-footed booby doll.
Kinda cool, and better than the umbrellas they sent the past two years that broke after just a few uses.
