A Real Hero

Hello tent trash nation. This evening, I was sitting on the couch with my wife. I saw a story on TV about a young woman named Kimbery Anyadike. This girl is 15 years old and she is solo flying all the way across he continental US by herself. I was pleased to see a positive story on TV for once. I really thought it was cool that she was doing something positive with herself and being recognized for something positive. Here is an article about her and her mission. She is flying from Compton California to Newport News, Virginia. Why can't we hear more stories about this kind of stuff instead of the disgusting media attention given to dead celebrities.

Where is Michael's brain?

A recent news story claims that the "King of Pop" had his brain removed in the initial autopsy after his death. According to the news story the tests needed to be performed on the part-time singer, full-time pervert and child molester will take nearly 3 to 4 weeks. The family wants to bury the "King of Pop" before then so he will be buried without a brain.



According to the news story this is not the first time the "King of Pop" has been without his brain. in 1978, Michael Jackson starred in a musical called "The Whiz". This was a modernized version of the "Wizard of Oz". Michael played "The Scarecrow".

As you will recall, that character was in search of a brain. It is funny that he went around most of his life acting like he had no brain, he played a character in a musical who had no brain and he is being buried with no brain. How much do you think my Michael Jackson doll is worth?

Tent Trash visit to LOST beach

This is a screen grab from teh TV show LOST. Below is one I took this afternoon.




This place is on the North Shore of Oahu. It is really, really pretty here. This place is called "Police Beach" by the locals and Papailoa Beach on the map. It had a lot of rock and probably would be a very bad place to swim. The actual location where the TV series filmed the Beach area with all of the shelters made from tarps, driftwood and debris from the airplane crash is guarded 24 /7 by security guards. You can see it behind the orange fencing. You can see an exact location here.



We walked up to the fencing and the security guard was friendly and let us take some pictures. You can see some of the crude structures made for the show below.



We also found the "church" made by the character Mr. Ecko. Here is the exact Lat and Long. He made it in the series just before he died. It was actually out close to the water.



Below you see the tree and small area where the castaways launched their homemade boat.



It was a fun visit. I really enjoyed it. The second funnest part was the guy we saw as we walked in. Can you guess what hair style he had? That's right he was wearing a mullet. Hawaiian style. He also looked like he was a plumber by profession. He had the "business up front Luau in the back". It was awesome!

Hawaiian Mullet Hunt: Operation 'Hang-Loose'

So we really wanted to explore the inner-workings of the mullet culture here in the islands. We were really confused about where to look for this somewhat reclusive creature. We have only seen one trailer park so far near Honolulu and I couldn't remember where it was and Google Maps couldn't find it either. We went to the next best place to find mullets, The Swap Meet. Every Saturday there is a huge swap meet at Aloha Stadium. You can see a picture above. At first I became discouraged, then I decided to try harder to fit in with the locals. I found an "Agua de Coco" and a Tupac T-shirt.



Not five minutes after discovering this Tupac shirt I encountered the mullet you see below.



Notice the smooth plumage and old-school Oakley sunglasses and the wanna-be police officer mustache. This guy was getting wild and crazy by the women hand-bags table. He got a little aggressive and I had to keep my distance. It was a little scary. I bought some hand-carved souvenirs and made sure my wife was safe. Next we got in the car and went to a place called "Killer Tacos".

New Mullet Discovery

I asked for help naming the mullets that live here in Hawaii. The Tent Trash nation has responded. Here are the current names people have come up with.

1. The "Hang Loose" by Rye Know Hob Son.
2. The "Business up front Luau out back" by Adam.
3. The "Samullet" by the Brother of Tent Trash.

Who else has any ideas? Come on people.... The winner gets a wiki-idol from the Aloha stadium swap meet.

LOST and Tent Trash

I am a big fan of the TV show LOST. I admit it. I really like it and I have seen every episode. I have even spent huge amounts of time trying to figure out the meanings of the different things in the episodes. Sunday my wife and I are going to visit the beach were some of it was filmed. It is called Papa'iloa. Pictures soon. I am really excited.
