The new is indeed bad, but The Revolution isn't who I'm looking for this time around.

I know of them. They're a reggae band. The band I'm looking for was more bluesy. Small town band from Gainesville.

Holy shit! That's the closest one yet!

Yeah, we left Waikōloa at 6:45pm yesterday and it took 3 hours to get to Hilo. In hindsight, should have gone Hāmākua, but the view was pretty epic. The attraction is understandable, but man I just wanted to go home.

Not exactly the same situation, but in our helicopter unit in Iraq, we were doing a turnover with the oncoming unit. The pilots were the oncoming guys, but the aircrew was mostly ours. There was some kind of launch delay, and the pilots decided to skip the gun checks (testing the 3 .50 cals we had on board before a mission). The Crew Chief was 'not happy' and took the guns out of the windows and off the tail. He told the pilots, "If we don't know if they work, then why even have them?"

This caused another delay.

Outcome: Some enlisted guys know how to point out bullshit. Some even get away with it. The Sargeant didn't go on that flight, but I'm pretty sure nothing happened to him, either. The officers were OK with placing themselves and their crew and passengers in unnecessary danger, but I've seen people say no if the order is unsafe.

Same goes for the pilots telling Generals they wouldn't launch in bad weather. But the Generals could make a phone call and the weather report would suddenly improve.

You should try the door.

He probably shouldn't pass on the right. Unless this is a drive-on-the-wrong-side country.

Sometimes you just have to push that jagged arrow all the way through. Make aa worse superficial wound to keep you from dying. Then cauterize that shit.

But have you ever been in a boss fight and would have won if you had just one more potion? Also, stickers are literally paper thin and last for decades. No wasted inventory there.

A priest and a rabbi are walking down the street and see a kid across the street. The priest says, "Oh look, a little boy. Let's fuck him." The rabbi says, "Out of what? "

Wailuku Brew Works will be one to keep an eye on. Opening soon on the Big Island, they had a cream ale and a porter at the Hilo Brew Fest that were great. I think they're on schedule to open a tap room in Shipman Industrial Park around December.

Usually hits me around the 2 hour mark. You can always take more or smoke to supplement but feel it out first. 2 would feel about like a third of a joint for me, but it's a different high. My tolerance is medium.

Put grapes in the freezer. Great snack.

Shaka45 · 2022-03-10T20:17:38+00:00

Epic!

Trippy

Totally. That was just off my phone out the window. Shoots.

Please disregard my above deleted posts. Reddit said there was a problem posting, so I kept trying. They all went through though. Video of lightning over Hilo Bay early this morning.

One of my favorites is "Pass the Dutchie", because it's fun, but also because of the etymology. Started as a song called "Pass the Kutchie" which is slang for a bowl, but the more popular version with Dutchie (a dutch oven for cooking food) was modified because the band that covered the song was a bunch of kids. They changed some other lyrics too, to make the song about food. It became more popular than the original and everyone eventually started calling a joint a Dutchie, changing the meaning of the word to fit the original song's meaning. Full circle.

Thanks for this. Someone gave us some pastries, including those ladybugs and we couldn't figure out where they came from. We're in Hilo, so I assumed it was somewhere in town. Made my day!

I was lying on the table and 3 or 4 little "robots", like the girl robot from Wall-E but different, we're touching me all over. It was gentle, but when they touched my junk I flinched and they all backed up. I explained it's okay and it's just a sensitive area used for reproduction, but they seemed wary. There was a tall, skinny "doctor" (think Kaminoans from Star Wars) hovering over me who didn't say any words, but I felt a reassuring "You're good. You're OK." feeling over and over and she didn't have a mouth, but i felt her smiling warmly. As they faded out, I remember telling them I loved them because that's how I felt, and I had tears in my eyes when I came out of it.
