What Is Brown Candy?
Just what is “Brown Candy?” I should have opened the box to find out. Now I’m intrigued by this simple but non-informative name.
Butter… Then and Now
My how butter has changed over the years. Take a look at this crock pot made for Kaukauna Klub butter. While it sounds Hawaiian, Kaukauna is from the the South Kaukauna Dairy Company in Kaukauna, Wisconsin! We found this sturdy clay crock while rummaging through old stuff and is dated 1933.
Interestingly, that Kaukauna Klub name is kinda weird if you ask me. Just alliteration or is there more to the string of KkK?
Today’s “butter” looks something like this…
You spread this body butter on your skin for the “ultimate sexy sensation.”
Which butter do you prefer?
Hostess’ Last Stand
I have seen with my very own eyes a lost American icony. Yes, I am talking about Hostess-made treats, specifically Hostess Cupcakes, unopened, in mint condition, with the expiration date good until mid-February. I have not seen Hostess treats in a big box since the days of plenty.
Where was this rarity discovered? In Guam. And brought back to the Hawaiian Islands unscathed. Miraculous!
Was That a Moving Pick?
It’s the NBA so it’s okay if picks and screens shift around a tad. But really, the magic is the finish by James Harden.
Though you have to give it to your teammates who do the dirty work like setting screens.
Mac and LEGO Fans Rejoice!
If you’re both a Mac and LEGO fan then this custom LEGO kit is for you.
Keep an eye out for instructions to build this set, expected within two weeks. Awesome!
Martian Kicks
Martian kicks. That’s what keeps coming to mind when I take a look at these upcoming Reebok ATV 19+ kicks.
The 19 irregular shaped “lugs” underfoot are meant to give you all-terrain grip and traction wherever you are (seemingly on extraterrestrial surfaces as well). Each lug is beveled at 28-degrees for optimal body stability.
These are seriously meant for the manliest of men. Who else could pull off wearing these funky kicks out and about. If you’re a man’s man, you can pick up a pair of the ATV 19 on February 1, 2013 for $140.
Thanks for the tip, NEENZ!

For today only (that’s Saturday, January 26, 2013), you can buy Guy Kawasaki’s latest APE (Author, Publisher, Entrepreneur-How to Publish a Book) at a steep discount. Normally $24.99 for the print version and $9.99 for the Kindle eBook, today’s special price is only $1.99 for the Kindle eBook – $1.99! As in two bucks.
On top of the cheap price, this version has recent additions telling you the simple truth of how you can write and sell your own book. I’ve started reading my copy and hey, even I can understand this foreign topic of creating a book. But don’t worry, I doubt you’ll see a Pulpconnection: The Book coming any time soon. What Guy’s laid out in the Author section has good advice to determine if you got what it takes to be an author.
There’s still time for this amazing deal, and I’m pretty sure you got two bucks to spare. Go now and buy APE: Author, Publisher, Entrepreneur-How to Publish a Book
Ah heck, I’m feeling generous right now. Comment on this post, and I’ll gift you this book (as long as it’s still Saturday)!
Update: Congratulations to Tom for being the first (and second) commenter. You have to like the proposed title of his forthcoming literary work, How I beat the system and won stuff from Hawaii’s hippest blogger. That sounds like a definite must-read… for $1.99. 😉
LEGO City Mini Shops – Want!
Building stuff out of LEGO is fun, but building familiar stuff out of LEGO, well, that’s just pure awesomeness. That’s why these LEGO City Mini Shops have to become a reality. Yep, create your own Apple Store, Starbucks, Dunkin’ Donuts, or McDonald’s all from LEGO bricks.
If you want to see this project become an actual LEGO set, you need to support this project.
My Third Tweet
I finally got the option to download all my tweets as an archive and looked through the early days. Here is my third ever tweet.

— Gee Why (@geewhy) June 11, 2007
Yeah, that’s some riveting stuff there I tell you. For all of 2007, I posted 33 tweets, 23 of which were in my first month of use (June 2007).
These Are Not Girlfriends of Manti Te’o
No, these women are not Manti Te’o’s girlfriends (fake or otherwise), but you can meet them on Wednesday, January 30, at Hawaii’s hottest gentlemen’s club and pick up a 2013 calendar.
Nike’s Intergalactic Creativity
I gotta hand it to Nike for their upcoming NBA All Star 2013 kicks collection. They really took the Houston location and pushed the “Mission Control Center” theme to the extreme. Look at the creative creations for Kobe, LeBron, and Kevin Garnett.
I especially like the description for the KD V All Stars:
Identified as Dark Matter, the biological and molecular breakdown of this figure remains a puzzle for scientists. Early readings of its origin, NSP-KD35, have sent back conflicting reports of a planet that is simultaneously solid, liquid, and gas – properties that make his game adaptable to any situation.
But it doesn’t end there. Nike Sportswear has their top secret Area 72 collection of intergalactic shoes that blends old school with new tech. This is how you reinterpret the Nike Blazer Mid, Nike Vandal, Nike Lunar Force 1, Nike Barkley Posite Max, and Nike Air Force Max 2013.
I very well might have to try to get a pair of the Barkley Posite Max. It’s so out there with the reflective textures, glow in the dark soles, galaxy print, and the mashup of foamposite with the Chuckster’s shoe line. It’s crazy good.

Will You Be “Kaepernicking” During the Superbowl?
On Superbowl Sunday, will you be Kaepernicking the scores of the San Francisco 49ers? What’s Kaepernicking? Strike this pose after a touchdown, and you’re Kaepernicking.
