Repent! The End is Near!
The world as we know it is changing. Witness the sign of the mythical unicorn found in Italy!
The end can’t be far…

Nakedness and Coffee?
How do you educate coffee drinkers about the qualities of pure Kona coffee? You’d get naked and pimpstrong a calendar of your nakedness of course. In the “Naked Truth,” female Kona coffee farmers tastefully show off coffee farming activities in a monthly calendar in order to promote the truth of labeling Kona coffee.
The calendar is available from the Kona Coffee Farmers Association web site and goes for $12. Just imagine the likes of Jessica Alba, Jessica Simpson, Grace Park from Battlestar Galactica, Scarlett Johansson, Jessica Biel, Elisha Cuthbert farming coffee in the buff. Only imagine they’re all in their 50’s. And imagine that none of these stars are in this calendar. Oh well… still a good cause and conversation piece.

You know some numb nut with a sense of humor had to plant numnah into the pool of words.

Vog Affects Macs?
Maybe it wasn’t HFMD after all. Maybe it’s the prolonged exposure to vog that did my iMac in (again). This time, I’m took it to the Apple Store since it’s still under warranty and twice in a week is indicative of a serious problem.
The Genius at the Apple Store Ala Moana thinks my internal (Western Digital) drive is failing. That’s why the intermittent problems. If so, this is the second WD drive I’ve had fail on me over the years. These are the only two drive failures I’ve personally encountered. Gotta start wondering about the reliability and lifespan of Western Digital drives.
On the other hand, this problem could be attributed to internal heat issues in Intel iMacs. My first problem was faulty RAM where some say the memory fails due to overheating. Wonder if this is true for my internal drive?
Since a replacement drive isn’t in stock and with a backlog of service repairs, my iMac could be out of commission for almost two weeks!
Ron Menor is So Busted
Senator Ron Menor is oh so busted with his DUI arrest. Read this great Honolulu Advertiser article covering the arrest.

Scott Ishikawa for Mayor
I can’t remember how many times I’ve seen Hawaii Department of Transportation spokesman, Scott Ishikawa, on television. Anytime there was something, anything related to travel, Scott was there explaining things.
Because of his wide exposure, I always thought he had plans for running for office. Who in Hawaii doesn’t know his face and therefore would vote for him? Well, maybe Scott’s political path is now underway after he resigned from his DOT position.
Scott Ishikawa for Mayor!

Pearl City Girls Are Saucy
This is a stereotype purely based on circumstantial evidence, but wouldn’t you agree that Pearl City Girls are saucy?
The April 18, 2008 Weekend Edition of MidWeek featured model-turned-drift-racer Verena Mei. The 26-year old Pearl City grad is a top-ranked drifter in the US and is a model. Saucy!
Club 939 continues its advertisements featuring amusing profiles of the employees. Scorpio, Nikki, was recently highlighted as a Pearl City native, and lest you’ve forgotten, Nikki’s been a saucy mainstay of 939.
Not enough evidence for you? Then how about this 90’s Night Out adventure checking out Seduction, the Cover Girls, and C+C Music Factory, followed by an almost rendezvous at Club 939, but instead ending with Sex on the Beach? Now that’s damn saucy!
My Starbucks Idea: Splash Stick Holster
Okay, so I didn’t think of Starbucks new Splash Sticks. That honor supposedly goes to Seattle Stix Chick, and people are reportedly loving them. Love them or hate them, they’re here.
My idea piggy backs off of the Splash Stick after drinking some Splash Stuck Pikes Place roast the other morning. What do you do with the Splash Stick when you want to take a drink, especially when you don’t have a free hand during the morning commute? Why not a holster for the Splash Stick? Yes, yes, over the top, but I ain’t putting that coffee dripping stick on my car interior leaving stains!
Why not have a loop of some type on the side of the cup, sleeve, or better yet, on the top of the plastic lid to hold the Splash Stick? Since the Splash Stick is tapered, you can securely slide the stick into the holster, take a drink then re-insert the Splash Stick to prevent spillage and keep the warmth in.
This is so lolo, it might work! 😉 Vote for the Splash Stick holster!
Remember Your Roots
Seems like a recent theme afflicting businesses is getting too big and forgoing their heritage. The answer obviously is to remember your roots and embrace your history. Such as it is with Starbucks.
Starbucks recent big secret of its Pikes Place roast continues to draw attention. The coffee itself is getting good reviews for being “un-Starbucks-like.” And even the use of a modified retro Starbucks logo has struck a chord. Both changes came about since consumers felt the coffee chain had become too commercialized and lost its way.
However, Starbucks is not the only business that’s gotten too big for itself. Soon-to-be-in-Hawaii Victoria’s Secret is pondering the same problem, having become too sexy. What is their equivalent Pikes Place solution? Get back to their heritage of “ultra feminine.”
What’s ultra feminine? I don’t know, but I’m guessing it’s not this.

Pictures from Deal or No Deal in Hawaii
Thanks to devoted Pulp readers, here are a few shots of the line waiting to get into the Hawaii casting for Deal or No Deal at Pearlridge Shopping Center.
Formation of the line was allowed starting at midnight. By 1:30 am, the line already stretched from Moe’s to the street side of Macys. And once you got inside the mall, there were more lines zigzagging their way until you reached center court where the auditions were held.
Auditions consisted of a 30-second spiel of yourself and why you should be on Deal or No Deal. That’s it. If the producers liked you, you went on to a next round. Otherwise, you went home after about a 12-hour wait.
Unfortunately, our Pulp readers didn’t get a deal and went home tired but happy going through the experience.
