WINNERS

AND LOSERS

Every night I work, I pick up guys going to the bars with the expressed purpose of meeting a young lady and either bringing her back to his place or going to her place sometime during the night. 99% of these guys I return home, alone, after their unsuccessful foray into the "mating game". Usually they are barely functional, shit-faced drunk.

Guys, you do NOT become more attractive, the more intoxicated you become. Your potential for "scoring" drastically decreases after your second drink. After 5 or more drinks, you become obnoxious and also greatly reduce your ability to "perform".

Guys who go out as a group also limit their chances of a liaison. Very few females are interested in potential "gang-bangs" and that is what they feel will happen should they hook up with a group of rowdy boisterous males.

I have also watched some guys who were drunk enough that when they met the "right" girl, who gave every indication that she was receptive to the advances, that they missed all the signals and the girl eventually moved on to more promising suitors.

Of course, at the end of the night, the "loser boozers" classify all the women as bitches, cunts and skags. And they go home alone.

Darwin's Theory of Evolution also applies to the "dating" scene.

Its Monday. I have no idea where I'll be taking Judy to dinner tonight.

Don't forget, Wednesday is Valentines Day.

Mahalo for stopping in. See ya tomorrow.

Aloha.

THE SNOW IS DEEP...

YOU HAVEN'T FELT YOUR TOES IN WEEKS

The brass monkey is a eunuch.

And you are beyond your ass in snow.

So, I only have one question.

How many of you are dreaming of Hawai'i?



WEIRD NIGHT

As soon as I logged on I was given a nice $20 run from the Royal Mauian, across from Denny's, out to the Maui Prince. Our radios don't work south of the Kea Lani, so when I was back in radio range I was given a run from the Four Seasons to OGG. Wait. It gets better. Made the pick-up and requested which airline we were headed for.
"We flying out Air Canada but we want to go to Big Mama's first."

"I am sorry. Where do you want to go?"

"Big Mama's."

"Do you mean Mama's Fish House?"

"Thats it. Mama's Fish House."

So, off we went. I waited, on the meter, at Mama's while they ate a quick dinner and dropped them at the airport about 9:30p for a 10:25p flight to Vancouver. They were a very pleasant couple.

Along the journey we chatted and the question came up if I could name all 50 States. That wasn't a problem since I had lived in 42 of them before I graduated high school. Then I surprised them by also naming all of the Canadian Provinces and Territories and all the Australian States and Territories. They did stump me with the Estados de Mexico. Sabía solamente tres de ésos.

After returning to Kihei, I garnered a couple of decent pupus and then business died. From 11:30p to 1:00a we only had two calls. After 1:00am there was the normal bar close rush. Just two runs during my solo hours. The meter was good (for this year) but would have been considered a slow night last year. That Four Seasons to Mama's to OGG trip was more that 50% of my total earnings.

I am dog tired. The stress of this month's financial "ups & downs" has taken its toll this week on my tired old body.

Passive resistance kept the phone out of "The Professor's" hands until around 10:00pm. So everybody had a fair shake at getting good runs. "The Professor" was the only unhappy camper of the night crew. He wasn't able to get those "specials" that he seems to generate when he holds the phone.

I really appreciate you coming by and hope y'all have a great day.
We'll chat again tomorrow.

Aloha.

"Let's all be careful out there!"

A DECENT FRIDAY NIGHT

BUT NOT AS GOOD AS THURSDAY

~Nikki~
One of my fares last night.

Logged on at &p and took over the phone at 7:05p. I was fourth up in the Wailea queue. By 7:15p I had my first fare of the shift. A nice run to Roy's from The Grand. Got back to Wailea and "dropped tag" for my 8p "special". A return trip to OGG, with the people I had picked up from the canceled America West flight the prior shift. I didn't get a call from them, so they apparently got off okay.

The first 2 hours were a typical Friday night. Most of the cabs were busy on OGG or long dinner runs. We were booked solid until 9p.

About 7:30p I get a call from a guy at Long's Drugs, in central Kihei, who wanted to go north to Kihei Villages, an apartment/condo complex at the north end of town. I apologized and explained that I had no cabs available for 90 minutes.
"Thats not acceptable. I want a cab, NOW!"

"Sir, apparently you didn't hear me correctly. I don't have any cabs to send to you until 9 pm at the earliest."

"No. You did not understand ME. I said I want a cab NOW!"

"Sorry. No can do."

Ten minutes later, he calls back.

"We seem to have been disconnected. I need to be picked up at Long's Drugs. NOW!"

"Is English a second language for you sir?"

"No. Of course not."

"Okay. Then what part of 'THERE ARE NO CABS AVAILABLE' didn't you understand?"

"What is your name?

"I am the dispatcher."

"No. I want your name and I want it NOW. I am going to call your owner and complain about you."

"You may call the owner tomorrow morning, if you wish. He knows who I am. Of course he is less tolerant of stupid people than I am, so be prepared to be yelled at and then hung up on."

"I am going to have you fired."

"Good luck. The next sound you hear will be me hanging up on you. Aloha."

[click]

He didn't call back.

Just after 7p Maui Jim (#17) and TMR (#27) took about a dozen people from the Renaissance to the Queen Ka'ahumanu Center in Kahului. QKC is our regional shopping mall, the largest shopping center on the island. The people were going to do some shopping, have a late dinner and then do some grocery shopping at the FoodLand store, next to the mall. All the arrangements were made for them to call us back about thirty minutes before they were ready to be returned to Wailea. The clock marched on and about 10p I ask Jim if he had any idea about when they would be calling. The mall closes at 9p and the restaurant they were going to closes about 10p. FoodLand is open 24/7. About 11p he was making a drop at the Renaissance and three La Bella taxis, from Kahului pull in and deliver the 12 people that Jim and TMR had been waiting for. The two cabs over had cost them about $100 but taking three cabs back would have been $150. La Bella drives those little (and I mean LITTLE) Scions, which only hold 4 passengers. I guess they were more interested in not waiting rather than saving money.

The Love Shack is an adult fantasy store located in the "Triangle".

I have no idea what these young folks were doing outside of Lulu's on Thursday night, but it looked interesting (strange) enough to snap a pic.
Another interesting paint scheme


For the next week, we'll be visiting the Pacific Cove Luau, on O'ahu, for a close-up look a a great luau.

Mahalo for dropping over. See y'all tomorrow.
