“I Approve This Message” 2012
I approved this message back in 2006, but since it’s been six years, I feel compelled to reiterate my approval. So here goes.
And although I’m not running for any political position, you have to smile when you see this.

Two Voice Tuesday
On Island 98.5, Tuesday mornings are designated as Two Voice Tuesdays where Gregg Hammer mashes up two impersonations. You call in with two personalities, and Sir Hammer does his impromptu magic. This past Tuesday, you could have heard a Samoan Linda Lingle, a Micronesian Frank Delima, a Samoan Hitler, Larry Price mixed with Al Sharpton, and more. Did you catch it? If so, take a listen!
Gregg needs to un-Japanese his Chinese impersonation though. Wonder what a Chinese Bubba Fujimoto would sound like? 🙂
Technical Difficulties Kind of Week
It’s been a “technical difficulties kind of week” around here. At work, we’re fighting problems dealing with new software and hardware installations. I’m trying to figure out why my Mac keeps disconnecting from the wireless network. But it seems these tech difficulties aren’t exclusive. While filling up gas at Sam’s Club this morning, each pump displayed this sign.
I had no problem though as the pump quickly filled the tank and took my $$$. Besides potential technical difficulties, this sign has some grammatical difficulties.
Confirming My Suspicions about Corolla Drivers
I knew it! This just confirms my suspicions about those who drive Toyota Corollas.
I always thought Corolla drivers were sneakily a freaky bunch. 😉
From Super Geeks to Internet Sweepstakes
The closed Super Geeks business location didn’t remain vacant for long.
From a computer and tech shop, it’s now an Internet Sweepstakes location. Are these Internet sweepstakes games legal or not? To be determined. But never mind that. Check out the home in the left edge of the picture. Just how many photovoltaic solar panels are there?
What Does Rock Yan Sound Like?
Comedian Chris Rock. Chef Martin Yan of Yan Can Cook fame. Mix them together and what does that sound like? Let the creative genius of Gregg Hammer work his magic.

I Am Nicholas Goda??
Apparently in the realm of Nike+, I’m known as Nicholas Goda. But then again, so are a few other runners.
After upgrading the Nike+ Running iOS app to version 4.0, my profile quietly messed up. While my nickname, icon/avatar, and email address remained the same, I took on the running identity of Nicholas Goda. I’m not 5-10 at 175 pounds. Though not shown here, Nicholas does own a fair amount of shoes.
Logging out of the app and logging back in seemed to have restored my proper identity, but now I’m having issues syncing runs with Nike+.
What’s Your Scent?
Seemingly being in the spotlight isn’t good enough. Â If you’re a pop star, your fans need to smell you as well. Â Get ready for an olfactory overload and take a whiff of these bottled essences. Starting with the dudes…
What’s your scent?
Awesome Shirts
Loved these awesome shirts at Macy’s Ala Moana.
Was there anyone better than Kelly Kapowski on Saved by the Bell?
I broke down and bought one of these shirts.
Professor Pandemonium. Nail. Face
You saw what Professor Pandemonium can do with a mouse trap and his tongue. Now, watch what he can do with a hammer, a nail, and his face, specifically his nose. Listen to the reaction from the crowd.
The Zaniness of Professor Pandemonium
I think that’s what this character called himself, Professor Pandemonium. He was at the Art Spree entertaining the crowd with his science-based “magic” tricks. You were either appalled or enthralled by the Professor’s antics. Here are some pics of the Prof, his tongue, and an old-fashioned mouse trap. You guess what happens next…
A Successful Alaskan Scavenger Hunt
Bravo to @abaggy for successfully completing his scavenger hunt while cruising Alaska! I posed nine challenges and two bonuses, and here are his results.
- Dessert. @abaggy excelled in this category! Love this one.
- A scenic view. This was a gimme on a cruise through Alaska. This pic is cool.
- Shipboard entertainment. Only diehards sit poolside to watch a movie in the cold.
- A towel sculpture. Sad this sculpture, but it’ll do.
- Two different ethnicities of food. Japanese sushi prepared by Filipino chefs and American cuisine. Check.
- A workout room. FAIL! But I can’t really blame him although I would have accepted the many flights of stairs as a workout room. 😉
- “Wildlife†(could be interpreted many ways). Sleeping seals are wildlife.
- Cold. Yep, he has a few pictures of glaciers and icebergs. Brrrr.
- Gluttony. I would have preferred a more interpretive rendition of gluttony like stacks of cleared plates after a meal, but his picture of an overflowing plate of food is gluttonous enough.
Bonus
- Crepuscular rays. No to this bonus as @abaggy was too mesmerized by the scenery, ships’ activities, or eating.
- Mankini. This was the most difficult item on his list. Techically, he didn’t find a mankini, but his substitutes are bonus worthy. Fur lined skivvies!
Tallying up his score, he gets 8 out of 9 for his hunt with one bonus point, so that’s a perfect 9 out of 9! Well done, you sir, are an accomplished traveller! Thanks for playing. 🙂
