BIG Fish - Whole Foods

What can I say, it is just too tempting to take pics in the place withit being a brand new experience and all.

Here are a couple of pics we snapped in the Seafood department with mycamera phone.  Unfortunately it ain't all that great of a phone, but Ithink you can tell that the fish are pretty big anyways! Ty looks likehe was a little worried that they were going to attack him or something.

This other pic I had to take because that fish had an ugly black tongueand sharp looking teeth!

We ended up just picking up some New England Clam chowder and my wifepicked up some tortellini thing which she said was expensive but REALLYgood.

Giant musubi!

After deciding to have lunch at Rainbow's Drive In we took a detour instead to the musubi place in Kapahulu. This place is marked by the giant musubi sitting outside the establishment. My sons were definitely hungry today.

Dinosaurs are Invading!

The military has been called out of Iraq to fight the sudden influx of dinosaurs that are invading our island. Unfortunately, there have already been casualties suffered, but hopefully the situation will be quickly contained.

Video shoot wrapped up

Riding down Pueo on my way to Sam's Club today I passed by a house where they were filming something. Not any huge crews or anything so I have no idea who or what was being filmed, but I took a couple of passes but couldn't really find the angle or the balls to stop and blatantly photograph people who were looking at me every time I passed. So I took a quick twitpic and went on my way.

On my way home I had prepared myself and put my digicam in my pocket and decided to pass by again. This time I did stop to take a few quick pics since there was no one around and I had my camera ready to go. Looked around to see if I could see any signs or something with a label on it indicating who they were but found none.

Anyways, maybe someone out there knows or wants to speculate.

Prank "Pooper"

My daughter Marissa has a track record of being the one to win drawings and other random contests of luck. Once she won some kind of a trip only to be told by the contest people that she was not eligible to win. I think she was like 11 at the time or something. They didn't even offer her a lower prize or a coupon. Since that time she has gotten a lot better at reading the rules. But because of her luck she has become the designated "filler outer of drawing forms" for the family. Even if she isn't eligible we make her fill out the form and use her mother's name.

Anyways, that is just some background to this video as this prank was perfectly setup. She's in the bathroom with the radio blasting and not aware of the tower of toilet paper that has been constructed outside the door. The rolls were stacked high and leaning on the door just waiting for its unsuspecting victim.

Cameras were rolling and my witness (Ty) to the celebration of a successful prank were all ready to go.



But alas, the lucky star was way too powerful. How could that not have worked otherwise?!

What a prank pooper!

Ty Finishes the Niketown Fun Run

With the promise to "love you forever" Ty talks his sister into putting him on her shoulders to finish the race. This is after she ran her 3 mile race first and then went with him on his 1 mile run. Which ended up being more of a "ride" than a "run" for him.



That in and of itself was funny, but that wasn't good enough for Ty. He told Mommy that Marissa ASKED him if he wanted to ride on her shoulders. No mention of him first being carried and her telling him that he was too heavy and she couldn't put him on her shoulders.

The things he manages to talk people into doing for him is very concerning to his parents.

Old Navy BFF Sale

Got this message from my sister who is over at Old Navy in Ala Moana in Hawaii.

We have this crazy promotion going on that runs from this Friday-Sunday. There are a few ways you can participate in a GREAT DEAL - so spread the word to anyone who loves to shop Old Navy for a discount....

• Come in with the BFF coupon we were handing out and you can get 20% off your whole purchase
• Come in and say the password BFF and you can get 20% off your purchase
• Come in and APPLY for an Old Navy credit card and whether you are approved or not, you get 30% off your WHOLE PURCHASE!!! So my suggestion, if you are someone that already has a Gap or Banana Card, for this day - OPEN AN OLD NAVY CARD!!!!! YOU DON'T EVEN NEED TO BE APPROVED TO GET THE DISCOUNT!!!! We have never had something that you can get 30% off your whole purchase before.
• If you already have an Old Navy Credit card, get a friend to come in with you, APPLY for a card and you will BOTH GET 30% OFF YOUR WHOLE PURCHASE.

This is only from Friday - Sunday this weekend. This promotion is even BETTER THAN FRIENDS AND FAMILY THAT YOU USUALLY GET 20% OFF!!!

I'm not an Old Navy shopper and take great enjoyment in harassing my sister for no good reason about her people knowing that I don't buy anything from them so they don't even approach me in the store. But I figured, what the heck, sounds like a pretty good sale and she did ask me to spread the word so here it is.

Not that there are many people reading this blog, but at least I can say I did my part. LOL.
