Noah's SUP

General Discussion
1

I now realize why we have been so consumed by the thought of having a SUP.

We just hit forty days and forty nights of non-stop flooding rain.

Time to load the animals or should I say ahkneeMALS on da SUP and head for high ground.

Newspaper headline this AM…

48 million gallons of raw sewage created from waikiki pumped into the ocean infront of waikiki.(ironic isn’t t)

south wind and currents close waikiki beaches.

must be neat for tourist to walk along waikiki and play among their own turds(blind mullets)…

will take a month to purge

publicized throughout the world

maybe the straw the camel’s back the local economy hasn’t been looking for

be interesting to see the ramifications

jus gotta hope the rest of the world is doing worse so we still shine…

big diamond crater festival tommorrow in the storm what an april folls joke for the performers…

the 10 million ahkneeMALs in the south shore ratpack must be jonezing big time.

or maybe they feel at home in the stuff anyway

at least we’ll be able to smell them when they come out west and north…

stay dry

headlines from the sidelines…

EDIT:

homeless kicked out of Ala Moana Park for the city’s big centennial family festival this week…

rain cancels fetsival…

Kanaloa says

eh bra

take care UR peeps first before you party.

just like he’s doing with the tourist doodoo

Here, too, Oneula. Yesterday we were supposed to get a day without rain (would have been the 4th in March - the other 26 all had rain) but no…by 1 pm it was coming down.

I don’t know who’s been more depressed over the last month, me, or my dog. She hates rain, just hangs her head all day, inside or out, and doesn’t even perk up for walks.

Maybe its time you put up a big tent and started on that canoe :slight_smile:

yup

water pouring in everywhere through leaks in the roof we cant fix cause it won’t stop raining.

buckets and now mold appearing everywhere. It never rains in Ewa Beach until now.

next will come the mosquitos when it stops from the pools

maybe we need to bring back the DDT man for awhile so birdflu or something like it doesn’t spread.

everyone in the office is getting sick

Imagine what guys who venture into the 48 million gallons of fun will come down with…

oops see a lawsuit pending

Take care all

especially the Kauai guys

someone notice the weather patterns lately?

I can’t tell anything about the weather because all the clouds & rain are in the way.

Sorry to rain on your parade my friend…I just finished reading the Los Angeles Times and my local fishwrapper…not a word about your floater problem…sex sells sex, but people have to die to make the news. The Spring Break hordes will blissfully board the planes en masse as scheduled, as most travel contracts don’t contain poo clauses. South shore surfers won’t have the energy to surf the slime with thousands of shorebound joes and hos running amuck. Might be better for the economy…

As to the rest of the world, yes, we’re still doing worse…and we need tropical vacations! See ya!

:wink:

local news was reporting a day ago that CNN and the national TV media MSNBC was running the story.

Local tourism bureau is so concerned they cancelled a big “come to sunny hawaii” campaign they had in the works.

you’re right about the kids and vacationers but its the conventionaires that you worry about. Like the one Sidestreet is back home for. You piss off that crowd and they don’t bring their thousands back to town. Those are the guys you worry about as well as asia and europe. Americans tend to be the cheapscapes of the tourist crowd, asia heading that way too. You kind of don’t want tourists but tourists who spend lots and lots of money. Kind of funny we’re bidding for hte super bowl right now. This weather is helping their cause I’m sure.

I don’t think right now any local cares about tourists.

We just want it to stop raining, the water to clear and the potholes everywhere fixed.

I’d hate to be one of those city and county road crew guys right now.

Can you say “overtime”? $$$$$…might as well work if you can’t surf for a while…

Howzit Ambrose, Ah yes the pitter patter of raindrops just started here. We are actually really lucky that the raindrains off pretty fast after millions of years of erosion. Yep Lydgate is a mess but Oahu is a lot worse off than we are. That’s the problem when you pave over paradise.Aloha,Kokua

48 million gallons RAW SEWAGE into the Ala Wai??? Man, I wouldn’t even SUP in that crap! Very nasty sh*t!!

Sad days in Paradise but still we got it good compared to the crap most of the world has to put up with on a daily basis. Have any of you seen that Hawaii weather report with the puppet dog with the cigar? PM me your e-mail and I’ll forward you something very very funny…

this march was the friest in maryland in over 4 years, we had less than 2 hundreths of an inch of rain fall. weird.

I was logging off and saw this story - both Kauai and Waikiki- made Yahoo! News…which means it will probably be in the mainland papers tomorrow.

You could probably make a cynical case for that being true…Good Old Boys maybe isn’t the most uplifting R. Newman cd to be listening to when under siege…possibly a good time to retreat into homegrown island music where the wind/rain/sun cycles seem natural to the point of being all one thing…

The Waikiki situation is another story altogether though…nothing much to be done but wait it out it sounds like…a little dark humor maybe (“riding logs in Waikiki”…t-shirts and bumper stickers coming soon)…the ocean sees no difference between tourist logs and those of the rich or poor locals…if it helps remember that this kind of “bad day” in Waikiki water quality is called “everyday” in Malibu.

Louisiana 1927

What has happened down here is the wind have changed

Clouds roll in from the north and it started to rain

Rained real hard and rained for a real long time

Six feet of water in the streets of Evangeline

The river rose all day

The river rose all night

Some people got lost in the flood

Some people got away alright

The river have busted through cleard down to Plaquemines

Six feet of water in the streets of Evangelne

 Louisiana, Louisiana

 They're tryin' to wash us away

President Coolidge came down in a railroad train

With a little fat man with a note-pad in his hand

The President say, "Little fat man isn’t it a shame

What the river has done to this poor cracker’s land."

 Louisiana, Louisiana

 They're tryin' to wash us away

 They're tryin' to wash us away

Hit the slopes… I just got back from a couple of days snowboarding. It snowed both days and still coming down when we left. More on the way. Unheard of Spring skiing. That would be central and southern Sierras my friends…

Record Breaking Snowfall At Alpine Meadows This Month…And, It’s Still Snowing

Alpine Meadows has received a whopping total of 189.5” of snow at its base lodge and 222” of snow at its mid-mountain snow stake so far this March. March of 2006 is now the official all-time record holder for the most snow accumulation in the span of one month. The resort has been tracking snow accumulation by month for the past 35 years. The previous record-holding snow accumulation month was March of 1991, (commonly referred to as “Miracle March”) with a total of 188” at the base lodge. Alpine’s mountain is filled in with snow in every nook-and-cranny. It’s hard to believe it’s spring!

"Wake of the flood, laughing water, forty-nine,

Get out the pans, don’t just stand there dreamin’

Get out of the way, get out of the way,

Here comes sunshine, here comes sunshine."

Hey, I’ve been listening to the Dirty Dozen too. You have to dig the tuba and trombone in the hands of the young guys. I saw them once and they stole the show.

DDBB Funeral for a Friend Official Press Photo - lo-rez

FUNERAL FOR A FRIEND is a fitting chapter of a New Orleans institution’s ever-growing legacy. The Dirty Dozen Brass Band have played festivals and funerals, earned five-star reviews from Downbeat and Jazz Times, performed with Dizzy Gillespie and Branford Marsalis, and delighted audiences from New York to Berlin to Tokyo and just about everywhere in between. Says Lewis, reflecting on his band’s success, “You look at the encyclopedia and you see all these famous places, and then one day you wake up and you’re in the picture!” But he knows that it’s all about giving people the good time they’re looking for: “When you come to our concert, you get something for your body, your mind and your soul. I don’t wake up in the morning and say this is gonna be this kind of music, that’s gonna be that. I just wake up and pick up my saxophone and bring some joy and happiness into some people’s lives.”
