Stealing Apples

It was bound to happen, but a crime ring in California is targeting buyers of new Apple hardware. After leaving the store with your purchase, the thieves would watch and follow you. If you leave your vehicle with your purchases inside, you’d come back to a burglarized car.

Haven’t you noticed or seen quite a few people toting around Apple boxed items in popular malls like Ala Moana and Kahala Mall? It makes good advertising for Apple products but does sometime bring unwanted attention to yourself.

Mariah Carey is 40 and Brilliant as Ever

Gee Why Pulp humor, music

I didn’t realize that siren and songstress Mariah Carey is 40 years old. Regardless of age, she’s as brilliant as ever! Just watch her acceptance speech. 😉

Oh wait, is Mariah still in her 30’s?

Box Car Racing at Race World Hawaii

Gee Why Life car, dwellable, hawaii, kapolei, racing

Fun for the family! Surprisingly empty (which was good). Cheap ($7 per and stay as long as you want). A workout for parents (those box cars are heavy). Lane 1 is a dud. It’s fun around the turns until you approach the finish line. Lean into those turns. A non-profit operation so donate if you can.

A few more pictures.

Head out to Kunia to Race World Hawaii to experience the fun of box car racing.

Seen at the Stanley

Gee Why Life hawaii, UH basketball

What was seen at the Stan Sheriff Center aka “The Stanley” during UH’s basketball victory over Boise State?

The UH Cheer squad was back in action, but the Dance Team was MIA.

The Macho Nachos were too manly for me.

I actually caught something dropped from the half ime blimp. First time ever in my time coming to UH basketball games. I’ve caught a shirt or two from the Bowzooka and played in one halftime game but never got anything from the blimp until today.

Club 939 represented with their custom cap that matches their new shirt (and calendar).

One guess what’s wrong with this straw.

Good WAC win for the Bows. After a disappointing loss to Idaho, I didn’t think UH had a chance against the Broncos. Adhar Mayen started the game with a hot shooting hand then Rod Flemings got going in the second half. Paul Campbell, the Bows MVP? For real? He’s been solid. Hiram looking to drive more and taking it (slowly) to the rack. Balocka with some timely long assist passes to break the press. J. Lay rattled in the first half, knocking down 8 straight from the charity stripe. 1 and 1 in the WAC.

New Year, Need a New Calendar?

Gee Why Passion club 939, hawaii

2010 is officially here, and to celebrate the new year, you need a new calendar. The calendar, of course, comes from Hawaii’s premier gentlemen’s club, Club 939.

And the club has a new shirt design for this year. Here are teasers of the calendar and shirt.

Calendars are available at 939 Keeaumoku Street for only $10.

Victoria’s Secret Makes Ill-Fitted Gifts

Gee Why Pulp ala moana, christmas, hawaii, humor

Judging from the line to enter and return/exchange Christmas gifts from Victoria’s Secret at Ala Moana, I’d say they make ill-fitted gifts.

Dinosaurs Unearthed at the Bishop Museum

Gee Why Life hawaii

Before it ends on January 4, 2010, go check out the Dinosaurs Unearthed exhibit currently at the Bishop Museum. The large (and moving) dinosaur displays are pretty cool. You can learn a thing or two with updated information about dinosaurs. Did you know juvenille T-Rexes are furry with feathers and that T-Rexes are more related to birds?

Some pictures of the exhibit are available in my MobileMe gallery. Here’s a slideshow of the pics.

After unearthing the dinosaurs, take a stroll through the renovated Hawaiian Hall. Very beautiful and educational. Then finish off your tour at the always fun Science Adventure Center to watch an erupting volcano and navigate submersible vehicles.
