I'm not gonna lie y'all. I think this week's one is gonna be a bit of a challenge... Even for you Hawaii experts. Put on your thinkin' caps and get ready to learn, son! Ah, at least the hint this week will actually be a usable for once. Oh yeah, congrats to bruddah Marvo for correctly guessing last week's location!
A-ight, enough with the chit chat...
Y'all ready for this!? (*cue music and picture the scene from "Bring It On"*

Ya got me Ed. Is it Burger King?
May 13th, 2009 at 1:04 am
Boba Loca?
May 13th, 2009 at 1:27 am
Syxx got it. Boba Loca.
You can see the logo on the cups on top the register.
May 13th, 2009 at 2:22 am
Island Snow?
May 13th, 2009 at 2:24 am
Watched the Houston / Lakers game last night. What a blow out. 40 points? A come on. Good thing we were in a bar. Had something else we could do.
May 13th, 2009 at 6:31 am
Ed's kitchen? Have no clue. Go Celtics!!!
May 13th, 2009 at 7:03 am
Good Morning Ed!
Have no clue.
May 13th, 2009 at 7:28 am
Not a clue. I gotta get out more. Golden Coin?
May 13th, 2009 at 7:30 am
Ummmm . . . glad I didn't stay up to be first.
But Idol was pretty darn solid last nite. Kris and Gokey should be scrapping for that second spot. Even though Adam's not my favorite, he's still bad ass and you always look forward to his twist on the song he's performing.
May 13th, 2009 at 7:33 am
Ed - so when's Van Gundy gonna teach the Magic to maintain or streeeeetch their lead in the 4th quarter?Gotta be extremely frustrating for ya.
May 13th, 2009 at 7:39 am
I dunno. It kinda looks like a coffee shop?
It's too close to call on Dial Idol. I wonder if one of the faves will go home. They already played their save card ...
May 13th, 2009 at 8:19 am
I don't think this guess is right, but is it Down to Earth
* We're down to three. Who's getting the boot this week in A.I.?
- I think it will be Gokey. I was surprised to hear Simon let the audience/viewers know to vote for Adam even if they think he is a shoe-in for the finale. It should be interesting to see which two will make it, and a glimpse of all three of their hometowns. Plus a fan bum-rushed Adam.
* NBA Playoff talk?
- We know the Cavs are in. Lets go Nuggets, Magic, and Rockets.
May 13th, 2009 at 8:28 am
Just to have a guess ... I say ... Down to Earth ...
... still no eye candy ...
May 13th, 2009 at 8:39 am
Tuff wun dis time Ed.
May 13th, 2009 at 8:47 am
Interesting looking place, very cozy. Is that one avocado in the picture? As usual I got no clue. I get hard time remembering which side is South King St.
May 13th, 2009 at 9:10 am
Surprisingly part of a national chain... has teas.., coffee cups.. bottled something and a white boot.... I DUNNOOOO!!!! hehe...
May 13th, 2009 at 9:46 am
It's looks like a place I never been to before.
May 13th, 2009 at 10:40 am
Green Papaya?
May 13th, 2009 at 10:40 am
the deli inside the starbuck's inside the bathroom inside neiman marcus at the airport, mainland concourse..
if i stick with this long anough, it's bound to be right eventually..
May 13th, 2009 at 10:56 am
Uji, you forgot to specify MEN'S restroom
May 13th, 2009 at 11:11 am
hmmm...i'm not too sure about this one (what else is new?!). only place i can think of that MIGHT be national chain on that st is that honey glazed ham place...but i've never been there, so IDK!
May 13th, 2009 at 11:19 am
It reminds me of a Ba-le, or a Kozo/Aloha Sushi type place, but other than that, I'm stumped!
May 13th, 2009 at 11:53 am
@kako - my mom used to order ham from that place for Christmas, and if I recall, it's all glass front reefers with wood panel décor in there. And it smells very yummy.
May 13th, 2009 at 11:59 am
Those look like Thomas Kemper brand sodas on the left. And that avocado looks more like a papaya. And Ed, you blurred out the name next to 'menu' didn't you? Or is the light just blocking it?
And still no freakin' idea!
May 13th, 2009 at 11:59 am
They have the same microwave I do.
May 13th, 2009 at 12:05 pm
Edward..
So, Pilly time..
we get Maui Boy holdeen' da fort in centah an' kinkeen' butt at da plate..
we get Seoul Brutha CHP t'roween' kim chee slidah..
we need one name for tall, ugly, skinny, haole dat stealz bases in t'rees..
how about Tush?
May 13th, 2009 at 12:39 pm
i think they got it already.. boba loca.
oh well!
i think it's time for gokey to go on A.I. adam should definitely get in though... wish allison was there in the finals!!! shucks..
May 13th, 2009 at 12:54 pm
Nope C Dubbs! But some of their hash browns sound kinda good right now.
What in the!?!? This one was supposed to be hard too! Congrats Syxxy! You getahm.
Holy crud! You got some good eyes gecko! And I thought I was sly blurring out the "Boba Loca" at the top of the menu too! Haha!
Nope. Dey get one on King though naks? I need to get a board/travel bag soon.
Haha! That's kinda how I thought the last game would go too (with all their injuries), but Rockets are still fighting for their life. Gotta appreciate that I guess.
WHAT!?!?!?! *blocking che*
Hehe, maybe you can whisper where you usually hang out and I can post that one next M!
Nope Pac-man. But good guess.
I agree booya.d! Adam makes it interesting, but I always try to look at it from American Idol's perspective: who they think will sell the most records. Honestly, in this group, I don't think any of them will do well, records-wise, that's why I chose Allison to win. Shows how much I know. Haha!
You're telling me! Dammit! Van Gundy's gotta snap already pretty soon. He has to stop trying to be a nice guy and every player's friend. Coach um or we're going home!
The hard part is each of them has a pretty good following. Adam has the popularity vote, Kris has the teenage girls, and Danny also has the girls (and kuya.d
). Too close to call, but my co-worker said something interesting. If Kris or Danny goes home, their votes will probably go to the other, which will make it a good competition against Adam.
I know yeah? Seems kinda unfair/bias, but I guess they want a good/interesting show for the finale (ratings). BTW, thanks for cheering for the Magic t-roy! I already like you.
Ahahaha, next time I gotta go beach den yeah beej?
Sorry Kagz... :\
Haha, I think so Maka B. I wonder why yeah? Avocado drink maybe?
LOL! I know, hard yeah H2L?
Nope, but that's somewhere I wanna check out next! Good stuffs k15?
Haha, one day ooj... one day... NOT!
Oooh honey glazed ham place. Do tell!
It does yeah!? That would've been my guess too knockers.
Hmm... name?
Very sharp dea booya.d. Don't want another Jurison's! Haha!
Ahahaha!
Haha! I showed wifey the highlight of that the other night. That was nuts! Didn't know Werth had any kind of speed. Gotta love the hustle and head's up playing though! Tush? What about Thief?
I know yeah! Adam vs. Allison for the finale would've been off the chain! The American Idol producers missed their chance for that one! Maybe they'll get it right next season... Oh well. *sigh*
May 13th, 2009 at 1:01 pm
Syxx:
Thanks, but I sometimes wander into the women's room just to check out da shooz..
May 13th, 2009 at 1:03 pm
Da Teef..
May 13th, 2009 at 1:06 pm
Syxx..
you do get dat joke, yeah?
a man's pers-pec-tive..
May 13th, 2009 at 1:27 pm
@Ed -
Very good point! BTW, am I the only one who doesn't care for Adam? I don't care for all the shrieking that he does.
May 13th, 2009 at 2:44 pm
@Hobbz - Adam might be shrieking but he's holding notes with skill, plus the way he arranges the song, changes tempo . . . he puts his mark on the song. Kris did really well last nite. My boi is gonna say aloha oe tonite.
@ed - I dunno about the idol producers juicing. The fans buy the stuff from their faves. Besides, with all the downloading, who actually buys whole albums anymore? I only buy the one / two songs that sound good to me, and I usually buy the songs that never make it to radio.
@Syxx - good job! eh, you not tailing Ed ah? Nah!
May 13th, 2009 at 2:51 pm
@ed - btw, the place was called Honey Glazed Hams. They were on king st., past rudy's flowers, before humane society, that same side of street. They sell huge portions of ham (for parties / holidays). I think they do ham sandwiches too. They kinda pricey, but some ono.
May 13th, 2009 at 3:15 pm
@kuya-
I can see what you mean. But, it's just that, I was really enjoying his rendition of "One" until he started shrieking. I dunno, maybe I'm just too old - no can handle screaming anymore.
May 13th, 2009 at 3:20 pm
Good joke uji!
I didn't even see the cups, Ed. Was kind of weird that I guessed right. It was either a sandwich shop or a drink shop, so I went with drinks cause of the avocado shake sign. Then I thought, "what place would be a chain?" Most places that aren't Jamba or CBTL are local stores, so I was stuck. Then I remembered seeing Boba Loca and telling a friend, "What is that, Mexican bubble tea?" Put two and two together, got a headache and guessed. Winner!
Thanks guys!
May 13th, 2009 at 3:56 pm
congrats syxx! boba loca is a chain? whodathunk? uhh... where the heck is that, anyway?
and to think that i was up when this post came out and could have guessed first... of course, ed, you gotta put up some pic that i have absolutely no idea about! curses! hee hee...
May 13th, 2009 at 4:47 pm
@Syxx..
you in da zone today... obscure fuud locations an' obscure movie refs..
you jus' one obscure individual, yeah? da mo' obcuah, da bettah, you
May 13th, 2009 at 5:40 pm
Boba Loca is like...on King and University..ish. I get tattooed around there, so it's just something I noticed. Never been there.
Uji, I guess it's just a good day for me. Normally I'm not this good, unless it concerns 90's music, comic books, or movies I been forced to watch.
May 13th, 2009 at 5:48 pm
What's a Boba Loca? Is it like living la vida loca?
May 13th, 2009 at 8:47 pm
hemajang, my heartfelt sympathy to you and the Yoshida family in your time of sorrow. Take care.
May 13th, 2009 at 8:58 pm
@hemaz - our prayers are with you and the ohana.
May 13th, 2009 at 10:17 pm
my deepest sympathies to hemajang and the yoshida family. take care.
