  1. Hoping we didn't leave all of our shooting on the floor last game -- we've had trouble keeping hot shooting going for consecutive games
  2. Huggins looked like he need a sugar fix. He was about to nod off on the set.
  3. Is a 23 point lead with 12 to go and Baylor w 9 fouls potentially problematic for the Bears? Fuck those assholes from Waco.
  4. Very happy for the guys that came back and trusted Beard to get this win. Hook em!
  5. Haha. You joke but I've ridden the Honolulu bus with lumber before. Sad but true.
  6. Honolulu may be 7th on the list with 37% of homes priced at $1M+, but good luck finding a single family home you want to live in for under $1M. They exist, but they are dogshit. You'll get an 1000sf single walled POS without central air and no trees in the middle of a forgettable part of town. If you're lucky you'll get one without termite damage and you might even own the land underneath the house -- though often in Honolulu you buy the house and lease the land underneath it. In Honolulu you're looking at condos for $1M. Single family houses worth living in are easily $1.5M+ Here's an example -- 950sf for $999K. Pretty sweet kitchen, though, unless you enjoy cooking. It almost doesn't get any better than this in Kaimuki! A clear, corner lot on a tree lined street in the quieter part of Kaimuki, but still incredibly convenient. Kapiolani Community College and Diamond Head Theatre are minutes away. The slopes of Diamond Head are visible from your front yard. Need to ride the bus? No problem. There's a bus stop just a few steps away. Getting on and off the freeway is a breeze. As for the house, they just don't make 'em like this anymore. See and feel for yourself how this charming home will reward you for the love you pour into it. 3 bedrooms are downstairs and 2 are perched in a loft like setting upstairs. Little details throughout the home will compliment a creative renovation. It's the perfect home for that buyer who wants a fixer upper in Honolulu with just the right amount of city mixed with old Hawaii. https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/702-10th-Ave-Honolulu-HI-96816/602577_zpid/
  7. The average Russian has gotten fucked over so many times by their leaders that their asses are permanently prolapsed. They've been used, abused, and lied to for decades. Don't hate those poor bastards.
  8. I regretted the 8 seconds I spent trying to watch it
  9. I think you meant it was painful to watch the girst dime. As is destergay.
  10. Looks like Immamac partied pretty hard on the North Shore yesterday, if this house is any indication https://weather.com/news/weather/video/house-collapses-in-hawaii-as-beach-erodes
  11. Outside of Baylor and Texas Tech, I don't think any team in the country would want to play us in the tourney. Bring it on.
  12. We could rent it out for b-list weddings, so we have that going for us
  13. Craig Way made this point during the game yesterday. Basically provided several data points that mirrored the Texas - TCU game from a few days ago in which the roles were reversed midway through the second half. Glad we were able to reverse the trend at the end though. Previous Texas teams would've fallen apart after being up big and then falling behind by 10.
  14. That sounds like a pretty badass day. And that drive back down Kamehameha Hwy from Sunset Beach to Kailua is a memorable one. Glad you had a cool day.
  15. Immamac needs to head to the area surrounding the Long's Drugs and the funeral parlor near Chinatown to check out the Honolulu hookers. it will be convenient because while he's in the area he can just make arrangements at the funeral home for his own service.
  16. Dope aloha shirt BTW. Enjoy your time outside of Waikiki. I agree with Beau Vine -- you'll dig the rest of Oahu. Traffic will make you want to kill yourself, but you'll probably see a rainbow along the way so it's not all terrible. If you decide to cross over the pali (cliffs) on your travels, each highway is cool but the H3 is jaw-dropping and the Pali highway from Kailua has a decent lookout spot and a few spots to pull off and hike along the Nu'uanu valley streams and pools (just look for lots of cars parked). Don't leave anything valuable in your car if you park anywhere along the Pali Hwy though as it's known for smash and grabs. Also forgot to mention Liliha Bakery for cream puffs and Leonard's for malasadas. Line for Leonard's is sometimes stupid though. If you're driving past the location on Kapahulu and the line doesn't go too far out the door it's worth stopping. Diamond Head and Koko Head are both decent hikes but they are full sun and mostly straight up and down. From your base in Waikiki I'd either hit Manoa Falls (shaded, waterfall, get there before 9 for parking), Makapu'u lighthouse (full sun, not as steep, oceanside), or the Maunawili trail (very small pullout parking area on the Kaneohe-bound Likelike Highway, shaded, tropical, breezy, great views, don't leave anything in the car). Manoa and Maunawili offer your classic Hawaii jungle-esque experience. There's a cool spur trail off the Manoa Falls trail that takes you an hour up the pali but if it's been rainy at all it will get crazy muddy. Still the payoff is pretty great:
  17. Dammit, not in Waikiki at the moment. Besides one Jesus on the island is plenty. If you're up for a local experience, head up to the Diamond Head Farmer's Market tomorrow morning. It's the best outdoor market on the south shore and has tons of great local food, breakfast, drinks, etc. Dinner at Side Street Inn (Kapahulu St) or Highway Inn (Ala Moana Blvd) are excellent upscale local food spots that always deliver. Make a reservation if you can or prepare to wait. Low budget but great take out Thai is at Bangkok Chef (multiple locations; King St is closest to Waikiki). Roy's in Waikiki has great seafood but the location in Hawaii Kai has much better views. Burgers at Teddy's are massive; location on the Diamond Head side of Waikiki on Kapahulu. M by Jeremy Shigekane is some of the best food on the island but you'll pay a big price for it. Da Cove Bar on Montserrat has fantastic fresh ahi sandwiches and incredible açaí bowls. Wailoa Shave Ice is about a half-mile from Waikiki and has great local shave ice; make sure to get it Hawaiian style (ice cream on the bottom). Korean BBQ is something you should definitely experience while on island; Gen and New Shilawon are the best choices. Let me know if you want any tips for stuff to do, places to visit or avoid, etc. Waikiki is great but you'll want to get out and see more of Oahu. I see that the North Shore has 20+ foot waves today so you might want to prioritize that while the swell is still hitting. Ehukai Beach (Pipeline) will give the best views since the waves is close to the beach, but you'll wind up walking about a mile to get there if you arrive past 9 am. BTW, the park that you see past your infinity pool is where my son learned to ride his bike. Our spot is about two blocks from your hotel. A sample from the Diamond Head Farmer's Market, an action shot riding waves at Diamond Head, and a windward beach that is never crowded:
