Seen at Toys R Us
Besides the midnight release of New Moon, here are a few other goodies I saw at Toys R Us.

How Can You Resist a Jacob Doll
How can any Twihard resist a Team Jacob doll? The makers of the Barbie doll have a special lineup of Twilight characters featuring Jacob Black, Edward Cullen, Bella, Jasper, Alice, and even a sparkly version of Team Edward.
What Happened Here?
Wow, just what happened here to this car?
Did you notice the missing side mirror?
FIGHT!
Seeing brawls on the basketball court is not uncommon, but when female players are involved? There’s something you don’t see very often. Okay, this isn’t a brawl per se but…
Video of the Day: Lady Gaga’s Telephone
Interested in the life and culture inside of a women’s prison. Wonder no more and watch Lady Gaga’s new over-sensationalized video of Telephone.
Once you kill a cow, you gotta make a burger.
On Second Thought… Coach Jellybean
After giving the idea of Joe Bryant applying for the Head Coach position for UH men’s bball, there’s definite business merit to this. UH Athletics has been saying they have to run their programs more like a business and that the buyout of Coach Nash’s current contract is a business decision.
Hiring Coach Jellybean could be a business windfall. Just imagine what would happen if son Kobe starts donning UH gear. A few pics of him in public and UH gear sales would definitely climb. Just imagine a photo like this but wearing Hawaii colors.
And what would happen if Kobe could manage a visit to the Stanley for a UH game? Schedule conflicts aside, his appearance would bring in the crowds. And how about Dad arranging some “casual” pickup games with UH players and #24 who might bring some yellow and purple friends. Kanye West would be there.
The UH basketball program would, of course, have to change from Converse to Nike so the team could rock some green orange Zoom Kobe V’s.

So despite any actual coaching requirements, Coach Jellybean makes a good business sense. 🙂
Head Coach Jellybean??
Now this is a surprise! Kobe Bryant’s father, Joe “Jellybean” Bryant, says he’s applying for the head coaching position for the UH Men’s Basketball team. Jellybean has some coaching experience but isn’t renowned for this win-loss record you know.
But on the flipside, his mere connection with Kobe and the NBA will surely attract talent for the Bows. And there could be some creative promotions involving a rainbow of colorful jellybeans.
Could he be the next UH Men’s Basketball Coach?
Sadness, DUI Wednesdays No Longer
Oh sadness, the Honolulu Police Department is discontinuing its online program of showcasing drunk driving suspects. Each Wednesday, the HPD would post mug shots of these law breakers and each week, there’d be a swarm of traffic to this site. Heck, there’s even a Facebook Fan Page for this.
But now, this cult sensation is coming to a close. Sadness.
Where Next for Farmers Insurance?
Where else will Farmers Insurance pop up? They’re all over Hawaii but they’re at other locales too. Just like this!
A Sign of Old Age: Disliking Justin Bieber
Another sign of (my) old age, I dislike Justin Bieber, for no real reason either. Just because he’s (very) young, popular on iTunes, and his newest CD is called My World 2.0. At 16 years of age, how much of the world has young Mr. Bieber experienced? Enough to have a 2.0 version obviously.
Yes, I am getting old.
Here’s a listen to Justin if you’re interested.
Where Will Farmers Hawaii Show Up Next?
Farmers Insurance Hawaii is making its presence known in the islands with a marketing blitz. They’re at the movies, at the mall, and at sporting events. Where will Farmers Hawaii show up next?
Could it be the music scene? Look at what I ran across.
Who knew? Kanye and Farmers? Farmers and Kanye? Sure, why not? I can’t wait for the Kanye/Farmers collaboration collectible! 😉
