“King of Pop” Pop
Saw this new Pepsi “King of Pop” cans at the store the other day. This larger can features a silhouette of the King of Pop, Michael Jackson.

Jeremy Lin Spoke to Me
After a recent, tiring run, I thought I was hallucinated. I heard Jeremy Lin speaking to me. He was congratulating me on my workout. Oh wait, that was JLin speaking through the Nike+ system.
Instead of congratulating me on my run, I would rather JLin tell me he’s giving me a pair of his custom kicks.
Zune Is Gone… Again and Finally
If you thought Microsoft’s Zune was gone, you were wrong… until today. While Microsoft stop producing Zune players, the Zune brand name was still around.
Today, the Zune name is no longer.
Theme of Ultra Music?
I love the Ultra series of music – Weekend, Trance, Dance. There’s always good music and mixes with Ultra. But there seems to be a theme with their CD covers. Can you spot the theme of Ultra music?
Quality Control and Chopsticks
Here’s a riddle for you. What do you get when quality control fails on disposable chopsticks?
Answer – you get a stick or at least, half of a working chopsticks pair. I got this defective chopsticks today. I couldn’t pry the two halves apart. There was no break or seam with both sticks completely stuck together.
Katy Perry, a Christian Gospel Singer?
I never knew pop diva Katy Perry’s musical past, so it was a shock to learn she started off as Katy Hudson, a Christian Gospel singer. After a tepid response to her first release, she underwent a “pivot,” became Katy Perry, and look at her recording sales now.
Here’s the pivoted Katy singing with Elmo (in a dress too small).
Thanks to Chad Ochocinco and His Stolen Starbucks Gold Card
First off, I am bummed that NFL receiver Chad Ochocinco lost his Starbucks Gold Card in a recent car break in. While his iPod and wallet were taken, the wallet was later found with credit cards and license in place. Just his personalized Starbucks Gold Card from the Starbucks Rewards program was missing. The card was charged up with $220 too! 🙁 Hear Chad lament his missing card.
But this does explain an anomaly seen here on Pulpconnection. Today sees a significant surge in traffic going to this post from 2009, Starbucks Gold Is Now Starbucks Rewards.
Seems like there are quite a few concerned Starbucks Gold Card members who are following Chad’s plight. But don’t fret, Starbucks replaced Chad’s card so he doesn’t have to eat all those lemon loaves again.
Signs of Hawaii: Plenty Parking
With the welcomed addition of Whole Foods Market in Kailua, there are more and more shoppers cramming into the Kainalu Plaza retail area. But don’t you worry about the parking situation as assured by these signs.
But did you spot the grammatical faux pas? It’s subtle, and for us in Hawaii, the improper use has become colloquial commonplace. So what is it?
There’s an “of” missing in “Plenty additional free parking.” It should be “Plenty of additional free parking,” but in local lingo, plenty parking is accepted. What would also make this phrase correct and shorter would be replacing “plenty additional” with “choke.”
Choke free parking.
Heinz Now Selling “Guess What My Bottle Is Made Of?”
I kid you not. Wonder how plants are made into bottles.
Captain America Linked with Fresno?
Did the Asian dude in Captain America: The First Avenger say he was from Fresno, California? That’s just awesome.
Kenneth Choi portrays Jim Morita of Cap’s Howling Commandos. Of the few Marvel superhero movies I’ve watched, I think Captain America might be my favorite. I wasn’t a fan of the shield-wielding hero before, but this flick changed my mind.
