Here Come the Fish
I guess Hipsters like the oncoming of fish in a pond. Here’s a recent add to Hipster’s popular page from the “other” fish pond downstairs at Ala Moana.

Hawaii Honorary Consuls Have Nice Rides
I don’t know what an Honorary Consul in Hawaii does, but that title brings with it a custom vehicle license plate and a nice ride! You don’t see very many BMW X6 SUVs on the road, so its silhouette caught my eye. I’m sure they’re not issued to the Honorary Consul, but it still is a nice ride.

Jeremy Lin Crouching Tiger, Hidden Point Guard
Who’s this Asian brother blowing up the League?!?! 6-3 and Harvard educated, latest starting PG for New York. Three starts, averages of 25 pts and 8 assists per game. My, oh my.
If you’re a JLin fan, you need one of these Crouching Tiger, Hidden Point Guard shirts.
The “Bradying” Meme
The memes never stop on the Internet. The latest craze is to “brady” as in assume the dejected position of Patriots QB Tom Brady after throwing an interception during Superbowl 46.
I often assume this pose but slightly differently. Place a chair under me, stick me in a meeting, or at my desk, reviewing document after document, and you’ll see me bradying.
Farewell HealthPass
I had heard about the closing or transformation of the HMSA HealthPass program, but it really hit home when I passed by the now-closed Aiea location.
Years of getting my fat measured, glucose analyzed, cholesterol calculated, and overall health assessed, gone just like that. Too bad since I was an annual user of this service. On the other hand, since I never did subscribe to any of their other premium services, I can understand how the business end wasn’t viable.
Farewell HealthPass!
To Remove a Staple from Your Head…
Odds are you’ll need one of these medical devices.
The real work is done by the side covered in black. And no, a regular office stapler remover won’t suffice.
Starbucks Year of the Dragon Seasonal Drink?
No, there isn’t one of these, but could there be? I’d be interested in a Starbucks seasonal drink associated with the Lunar New Year aka Chinese New Year. The drink wouldn’t necessarily have to represent each of the twelve Zodiac animals. That’s just too many drink recipes that will span 12 years – too long. No, one seasonal drink with a custom cup design will do. I believe Starbucks does have A Year of the Dragon collectible mug already.
Or would this promotion come too quickly on the heels of the Thanksgiving and Christmas seasonal drinks? Would seasonal drink fatigue set in? Possibly.
Maybe the drink would be a custom tea drink, not necessarily coffee. Just an idea. On the other hand, how appealing would this seasonal drink be during the Year of the Rat (2020) or Year of the Pig (2019)? Hmm, 2016 is the Year of the (Red Fire) Monkey and that would be interesting!
Does Breaking Dawn for Valentine’s Day Make Your Abs Pop?
Does the idea of Twilight Breaking Dawn, Part 1 releasing before Valentine’s Day make your abs pop? It does for Taylor Lautner aka “Team Jacob.”
Here’s Mr. Lautner talking about the forced maturity of his character in Breaking Dawn.
Twilight’s Breaking Dawn at Target
Sunday’s Target ad featured Twilight’s Breaking Dawn, releasing on DVD and Blu-ray this coming weekend. A genius of a promotion I say!
The invitation to watch a sneak peek of Breaking Dawn, Part 2. Buying the DVD of Part 1 at midnight. Including replicas of the flowers at Edward and Bella’s wedding – a nice touch. Well played, Target.
Re-occupy Occupy Honolulu
That didn’t long. Those participating in Occupy Honolulu were cleared out of Thomas Square on Friday. On Saturday, this is what I saw.
