Where In Hawaii is Edward Sugimoto? - March 10, 2010

March 10th, 2010

We had a clean sweep last week when Bruddah Takeshi guessed the name, location and map, all based on a photo of a little shrubbery. Crazy! With that, kesh has put a stop to rayboyjr's insane streak of 8 straight, and has, as a result, taken sole possession atop the leaderboard. Congrats kesh!

This week, we'll be going Triple F on y'all: Food, Fun and FBI! How's your Big Isle recogmatizing skillz? We shall see! (No get too hungry k?)

Points L'dat!:
* Name of Location: 1 point
* General Location: 1/2 point
* Price of dish (at the time this photo was taken): 1 point

Congrats to M for capturing his 3rd WIH victory last week by correctly guessing Cafe Laufer. Please help me share tha love with bruddah emmz. :)

This week, we're gonna mix it up a bit to make things a lil' more eeeenteresting. Since there are only a few known "hotspots" around the island of Lanai, I thought I'd make it a tad more challenging by offering up 4 cropped photos of the non-standard fare. Each photo will be worth 1 point, with the first guy or gal guessing all 4 correctly getting a whoppin' 4 points! More chances for all to score points and move up da rankings. Smaht chyea? Hehe!

A-ight, so hurr we go. Good luck y'all!

First off, I'd like to send mad props to bruddah hemajang who was responsible for last week's WIH stumping photo that garnered 70 comments. Yeah E YEAH! Second, mad respect to bruddah MakiSushi for becoming just the 5th person in WIH history to win back-to-back kine action (especially impressive as these were his first wins ever) after guessing Sam & Syd's Cafe. Can he become the first to capture that elusive turkey this week?

This week's photo comes to us courtesy of the beautiful island of Maui. I did some shmall kine "Photoshop-ping" to the sign (see below) so it's not so obvious, but I'm pretty sure one of y'all will get it anyway. To make things a lil' more interesting between guesses (and to boost the comment count of course! ;) ), post your favorite things (food, beaches, shops, etc.) about Maui too. Holla!

Last week, hemajangshowed off his recognition skeelz by correctly guessing Liliha Bakery from a photo of condiments. How the!? Please help me congratulate bruddah hemmaz.

Much like our Philly version of WIHIES, we'll make this week's contest a lil' more challenging and make y'all guess on more than just 1 photo. This time, we gots 6! Oh yeah! Perhaps it'll last longer than an hour now? :P Ah, we shall see...

Like before, no worries. Even if you've never been to Frisco, I'll have hints for each photo. Using Googs and the rest of the `ohana's guesses will help some lucky winnah solve the puzzle that is WIH, er WISF. Go getum cuz!

(Photo 5) - Hmm... I shouldn't make it that easy should I? (Photo 6) - Statue has nothing to do with the location, but perhaps it counts as "eye candy" for rayboyjr:P
