Reflections on life, Asian people, snoring in-laws, and dudes that paint themselves silver for cash


As KR reported to the LL before his departure, he was in Hawaii with Mrs KR, and the in-laws last week.

Here are KR's observations made while in Hawaii and stupid **** KR and his father-in-law (FIL) did to amuse themselves at the expense of others:

1.   There are tons and tons of Japanese people in Hawaii.
2.   When invited on the trip, KR and Mrs. KR were told that to save money, they'd be sharing a room with the in-laws. KR's MIL's (Mother-In-Law not to be confused with MILF) immediate addition was, "Don't worry we take LONG walks every morning, so you'll have some alone time"
3.   That statement was equally awesome and awkward at the same time.
4.   It rained damn near every morning, limiting KR to 2 morning walks worth of "alone time"
5.   The in-laws had already purchased a blender, 2 liters of rum and 2 bottles each of Pina Colada and Daiquiri mix when KR and Mrs KR arrived. (In-laws had been there for 3 days before we arrived).
6.   My in-laws snore... both of them... very loudly... every night... often at the same time... Mrs KR doesn't think snoring parents are enough assurance that they won't wake up, so no fooling around is allowed to occur during the log sawing races
7.    Mai Tai's are the closest thing to pure booze you can get at a bar with a pineapple slice and an umbrella in it.
8.   After 5 Mai Tai's, you think you can run across the pool without sinking.
9.   After 6 Mai Tai's you attempt said stunt... and fail miserably... silk Hawaiian shirts don't deal real well with chlorinated water.
10.   Mrs. KR doesn't understand 6 Mai Tai logic.
11.   You can get sunburned during a 4 hour round of golf even if the sun is partially blocked by clouds.
12.   There are a ton of street freaks doing stupid random sh*t for "donations" in Hawaii, including the following:
a.   Silver dude (everything from the dude's shoes to his face are painted silver) who stands mostly still until you put a dollar in his cup at which point he dances a bit making an annoying whistle noise
b.   Shorter silver dude (same gig by a 5'2 dude).
c.   Copper Cowboy (Same gig with copper painted guns and cowboy hat)
d.   Little Asian drummer boy (~12 yr old rocking out on drum set to techno beats... the asian chicks wanted this little dudes water chestnuts like no other)
e.   Blind dude holding a sign asking for money to seek "Justice for the Blind"... who the hell made that sign for him?
f.   50 year-old white lady clogging next to fat older white lady attempting to play keyboard
g.   Rapping asian dude lip-synching and dancing to Notorious BIG's Life After Death album... you haven't lived until you've seen a fat asian kid try to dance and rap to Mo Money Mo Problems.
h.   Dude playing a bagpipe in full Scottish dress... easily the most talented street performer around
13.   While waiting for Mrs KR and MIL to look at the 18,000th swimwear store, KR and FIL were bored. FIL suggested KR and FIL attempt to win a staring contest with Short Silver dude... 5 minutes later Short Silver Dude picked up his box that he stands on and moved 15 feet down the street.
14.   There is a Chinese Seafood Buffet called "FOOK YUEN."  FOOK YUEN is even more fun to say after 5 Mai Tai's. Mrs. KR and MIL failed to see the humor in the name Fook Yuen or in the 5 Mai Tai's KR and FIL consumed before dinner.
15.   When a group of Asians are lost, they will immediately select a spokesperson who is the best in the group at Engrish. The spokesperson will then ask the nearest Caucasian for directions.
16.   The nearest bathroom when KR was asked was located in the back of the "Adult XXX Video Store"
17.   Old Asian women blush and giggle when walking out of Adult video stores.
18.   Old Asian men take pictures of posters in Adult Video stores.
19.     A shark bit a canadian hippy chick on the North side of the island last week.
20.    The hippy chick's quote on the evening news was "I guess I got to close to her nest or something" the news anchor's next comment was "I think she's still stoned."
21.    There were 3 crying kids waiting for the same flight back to the mainland as KR, Mrs KR, FIL and MIL.
22.   God dislikes KR.
23.   All 3 crying kids ended up sitting in the 2 rows behind KR on a 50 row plane for the ensuing overnight 6 hour flight to Phoenix.
24.   It costs $25 to get drunk enough off of plane booze to sleep through 3 crying kids on an airplane.
25.     Being in Des Moines sucks... especially after a week in Hawaii.

One thing Ive noticed about homeless/street people is that they are a lot more creative on the west coast. 

East coast bums are very uncreative.  The ususally just sit on the ground holding a cup out asking for change.  No reason, no sign, just a quick phrase stating they need money.  Even if they are passed out drunk, they still manage to stick their hand out with a cup in it hoping to get a few bucks.

Now the west coast guys are creative.  90% of the time they will have detailed signs explaining why they want food or money.  "will wrestle for food", "will work for food", "I have no legs and pee in a bag, give me some food".  Those guys are creative.

I was in San Fransisco once and there was this guy who would hide in these bushes and when people would walk by, he would jump out and scare them!  It was great.  People would sh!t their pants and then drop a buck or two in the guys hat because everyone would be around them laughing at them.

Then there was this guy who would sweep the sidewalk in front of stores and keep it clean and have a hat out for change.  Very productive.  The east coast needs more bums like that.

[Kilted Rat]

From talking to some of the locals, most of these performers aren't homeless, they just chose to do this because it's relatively easy and they can make pretty good bank, up to $300 a night, mostly from Japanese tourists.

I will agree that homeless people's creativity increases as you go west, I am laughing my arse off right now imagining the homeless guy jumping out of the bushes and scaring the **** out of people.



I guess if you had to be homeless, it's hard to think of a better place to be homeless than Hawaii, 76-82 degrees year round, lots of shelters if you wanna sleep indoors, many food pantries, and lots of tourists to get money from and apparently lots of tourists leave clothes and stuff behind when going home, so many of the homeless are fairly well dressed!


Strange thing I noticed were several homeless people that would ask for a specific denomination of change such as 13 cents, 27 cents, or 38 cents.
Not sure if this was a way to seem non-greedy and get more money or if they knew they needed exactly that much to buy their next shooter of vodka...

Yea in Boston in this one place, (fanieul hall, big tourist place) there are these dudes that play drums on the back of plastic buckets.  During the summer there are literally hundreds of people standing around watching them and they are easily dropping $500 a night.  I always wondered how much these dudes actually made.

Yea the soproanos have sucked for the first three episodes although the first two I actually watched on sunday nights.  I suggest you tevo or watch them on demand and fast forward through tony's stupid dreams and anytime people are in tonys hospital room crying.  That made the third episode bearable.

These are by far....Regs favorite reflections.
It sounded like an awesome trip (other than the having to spend all night and day with the in-laws)
+K for such a detailed....well thought out post.  One question-
Did you take notes during the week?  I mean, Reg cant remember what he had for dinner last night, let alone a bagpipr playing scottishg dude.

The copper cowboy is pretty cool...they had those things in vegas. 
I may try to paint Mrs. Regs cat silver and teach it the Robot.  That would score major bank.

The inner harbor in baltimore lets people perform in front of the water, but the city gets PAID....I remember one time, this juggler was there performing and didn't do his homework. 
Dude, there is no way you are going to be able to juggle 13 plastic balls while riding a 8 foot tall unicycle.....with 10 knot winds coming in off the water.
Reg was right.

Everyone felt really bad for him....because he sounded pretty desperate.....I think to make up for his "big trick" sucking so bad, that he caught a flaming knife in his throat after juggling it along with bowling pins...or something...

Reg left wanting back the 15 minutes he spent waiting for said trick along with the $2 pity dollars he dropped on the kat.

No notes were taken, however Mrs KR contributed to the reflections and filled in a lot of blanks.

Trust me, when you hear the Marine Hymn followed by Amazing Grace on bagpipes both played extremely well, you remember that sh*t.

[johnnyadmit]

Funny how women seem to remember stuff like that...  the ladyfriend has record of every single instance that admit stepped outta line or made an ass of himself.  For some reason, she has date, time, duration, and resulting confrontation memorized...makes arguing a pain in the arse.

Great story KR. +k for the 'total recall' experience. 2 WEEEEEKS!!!

Gro's been to Memphis many times and has been asked for exactly 80 cents more times than I can count. There must be a 80 cent beer cart on Beale St.

[dewcrew88]

Union89 hates auto racing with a passion, but has great sympathy for that dude Paul Dana who passed away this weekend in the crash.  U89 felt kind of dirty this weekend though......every time they talked about the tragedy on ESPN, they spoke of Dana's teammate Danica Patrick and showed her walking around the Speedway.  Every time U89 saw Danica, he got an instantaneous 'Woodrow'.  Hopefully, this does not mean that U89 is going directly to Hell......

Speaking of hell, what a coincidence that your post count as of 9:15 a.m. EST is 666

Gro.....I thought you were smarter than that...Mr Jeaopardy.
It is the same principle as bartenders charging $4.15 for a beer...
If a bum asks you for 80 cents, are you going to stand there and count off the change or are you going to just flip them a buck, 
If a bartender tells you that a beer is $4 .....some people might dig up some ones and walk away.

It is a scientific fact

PS- the 13 cents has Reg stumped.

Can you tell me who doesn't fit into this little splash mural?
