ah steve, i remember all of the many incidents B and E went through , and believe me we should log them for her canonization. E has mellowed and matured over the years but remember the pure E we all knew and loved (or loathed, depending on wheter he raided our atm card or drank our guinness) his appetites were our superego personified, and we weathered the storms because he was our bud, for better or for worse...there was no middle ground with E, it was love (Raiders, Lakers, Snow) or Hate (UH Football then, Denver, Shivaldos).
As for Sanoyas, ahhh I hoped one day to do the sanoyas challenge, but for the most part it was just eat the noodles, not go for the grande portion to get on the wall of fame.
Now i am very happy to have found Santa ramen here in the bayrea, and the many good noodle shops in Japan. Now have the full jones for saraudon, crispy noodles with seafood roux which i have found in NRT town.
as for the E man, i remember working the reception table for the wedding, and the fantastic wedding spread at the hale koa, full seafood, and that all of us were there, even evil iwa. it seems that we are separated by geography and life situations and for the most part we should move on, as patti put it, "what do you have in common?" nothing, i guess except the shared experience of growing up nerdy on a small paradise with multiple ethnic groups bonding with music, sports, and alcohol (and weed)....
listening to the aol radio "awesome 80s" channel, and am about to give up the ghost and just remain in the 80s for life, after all, its the music we all grew up with, had our first slow dance to, groped our first breast to, saw our first stripper dance to, got drunk or high to, can we evolve and move on to the new stuff and still have that same connection...DISCUSS
oh, and the sting concert was a total suck fest, as he was sick with virus and cancelled on us, so the only sting siting was the police concert in 85 or so....remember the concerts we went to, aerosmith, heart, foreigner, rush, van halen, kick ass concerts at the blaisdell or waikiki shell miles davis comes to mind, along with kalapana. nowadays concerts cost your left nut and thats just for the service fee....enuff now, blog on dudes...

ahh steve wildman, got home allright, so that's troubling, can you say "functioning alcoholic"? check out my posts on the "now for nothing completely different" for more details re the japanese o-furo bathhouse experience. i think the best would be for alla us to be nekkid and sittin in the large ofuro with the oblig small towel on our heads, chillin'. then into the steam room, which always brings back memories of ed's room at old wainani place (hot, sweaty and moist) to chill and see who evokes the classic kramer seinfeld line "it's like a sauna in here.." with or without sal bass rushdie. out of the sauna and into the cold dip for some scrotum shrinking action, yowwww. then off to the restaurant for some gyoza beer action with ramen or curry....didja know i found the greatest ramen stand in osaka by the den den electronic town? open air sit onna stool, lots of pork char siu shoyu based, always a line to order, ya know its good if there's a line to get in....also around were the businessmans hibachi stands, where they give you a small charcoal grill and some fish and meat and you sit around your table withcha beer grilling your food, kinda like tailgating uh games in college, but with better cutsa meat, natch...
and to make it perfectly clear, i was talking about massage booths in beijing mainland china, where you could get a wonderful massage 1 hour for 5-10 dollars. chinese style is to massage through your shirt so no hanky panky, even blind masseuses are available, i just found this middle aged lady and her husband who were familiar with american flight crews and had a handy translation sheet of your trouble points in english and chinese. by the time you've flown 13 hours and are moving on empty gas at 4am your time, the massage is enough to make you pass out, but lovely nonetheless. thnks for the lmn drps, the dog is cute but whoa mama quite a package to take care of, lets hope it mellows with age as have we all....

ohoh, posted supabowl mammaries on the other blog, so visit donkeys point blog, but as it is about the high school years, i guess high school recoll of supabowls are apropo....

as for the infamous boob, i got it on vhs, not much as its a split sec, i would pay my weight in gold to hear what was said after that happened. i looks too much like a pub stunt, coming at the end of the number, and why couldn't this happen to britney spears when she did her supa bowl show?!?!? in quiring minds wanna know....oh did kazaa to download an image, she's wearing a sun shaped nipple pasty design, which only makes the pub stunt angle seem more likely.

as for the upa bowl, it's only when there's not much emotional stake that the best ones have been played lately for me, like pats/ cats and pats/ rams and titans/ rams. as stated before, last good one with team that was meaningful to me was supa bowl x boys/ stillers. other later supa bowl with boys/ stillers marred by the universal joke that was barry switzer, the ultimate coattail rider of destiny...talk about an actual boob...

anyway, stevo talk about the most meaningful raiders or skins game in the formative years, eric iwa, tell us if your love of the rams extended to when they fled to st louis....ed, get on the blog, son....haha out for now....

Holy S**t, did the gods give us a great bowl game or what??? When i said it would come down to the kickers, I didn't think it would be Kasay snap hooking it like one of my Nakakura tourney choking special drive out of bounds, and vinatieri winning free drinks for life in boston with his redemption kick at the end!!! Still sore at him for missing two in the beginning, that was the point spread, but for the sheer entertainment value i cant complain.
and how about justin timberlake giving janet jackson one of those "latoya in playboy" moments live to all of us lusting for her since her breakout herb ritts "love will never do without you" black and white video? not since the phoebe cates bikini strip in "fast times" did such an unexpected boob show up...and we all yelled "halleluyah"
For my part, i watched the first half live, getting ready for gohoshi at the temple taped the second half and watched it after the game was over, reminiscent of the "dont tell me the score" monday night football in the old hawaii days of mine... i sat slack jawed, like some kid saturday morning getting two looney tunes shows in a row, as the game evolved from a chicago bears 85 vs ravens 01 defensive battle to a san diego chargers vs miami dolphins mid eighties clash.
gowoooolee as gomer pyle would say, as the pats (who only had my support through the thin relativity that tom brady came from san mateo) became the immovable object to the cats irresistable force. golden vinateri misses two early? whatever he gets it in the end, brady floats a duck to the pats at the end of the game, whatever he guns third and long and makes the plays to bring them back and puts them ahead, even kasay the plausible goat made it from fifty out at the end of the first half to even bring them close. john fox's deci to go for two too early still may haunt them, though i think it opened the game up for good, it was like when ferris bueller left the ferrari to the two parking lot attendants and let them run all over chicago with it, woo hoo....
pat, lately have been thinking of 'fearless fly' which probably has not passed the test of time with it's anti pc foes dr goo-fee and his asst gung-ho, but was a neat hoot, i can still hear "my glasses, i'm helpless without them".... and did you find the theme to super chicken? when you find a super sauce (what is super sauce, a martini? they mix it in a shaker) and then you throw them for a loss ...buck buck buck buck. just squack for super chicken.....
oh ho, and im sure you've seen these, but reno 911 and chapelle show on comedy central are cooking, as well as the repeats of mad tv. Yas and i have found we share the same taste for sick off the wall humor, which makes this marriage thing much easier hahaha....
anyways, idea for posting memorable super bowls of our past, esp in the high school years and college. guys, any ideas???
