Look at that Toilet!!!

Brian had a fund raising event to work this weekend for Drug-Free Hawaii. It just so happened that the event was held on a Norwegian Cruise Line ship. As far I what I was told the ship was very nice even though they had a mishap involving TB a while back. Turns out though that everything was okay and the passengers had no threat of contracting TB(thank goodness).

The event went well even though it was a long day for Brian. But something absolutely amazing happened at this event. They coordinated a silent auction to raise money for Drug-Free and one of the items up for bid...none other than a TOILET. Yes my friends, a toilet was donated for the silent auction. Apparently this is not just any toilet. This is the ULTIMATE TOILET and it sold for over $500.00! Can you believe that? Someone paid 500 bucks for something that they rub their butt on and poop in. That blows my mind. I think it is pretty funny, don't you?

Other things that went up for auction was a kitchen sink...that gives the old saying "everything but the kitchen sink" a new meaning. Some things that I would have bid on (if I had money) were season tickets for UH sports. They also got rid of a signed football helmet of Colt Brennen, starting quarterback of the Warriors. Believe it or not, that went for $500 too. Can't say that I would have paid that much but I suppose these rich A-holes have nothing better to spend their money on.

Anyway, I though you would be amused that a toilet was auctioned off for so much money.

Haole Rot Part 2

Just for everyone's information we found another couple of spots of Haole Rot on Brian's back. It is pretty funny if you ask me and I love to bother him about it :)

Haole Rot

Brian had this white spot show up on his neck and he freaked out asking me what it was. To me it looked like a scar that had heeled. I told him he was being retarded and to stop freaking out.

Well, the people he works with were joking around and telling him he had Haole (pronounced Howl-eh) Rot. We thought this was ridiculous and just assumed they were making fun of him. So we didn't think anymore about it.

Well, that white spot is still there on his neck and has been for about a month so I decided to google Haole Rot and guess what...it really does exist and it is something that you can get. If you click on the title up there, it will take you to an article about this but I will give you a quick run-down anyway

Haole Rot is a skin fungus that is very common here apparently and it causes white spots to appear on your neck and face. It is not serious but it does make for some funny converstaion. You have to treat with some kind of ointment from the doctor before it will go away but Brian says that he doesn't need to since the rot can't really hurt him. The worst part is that you can catch it. If you use a wet towel or something like that you will get The Rot.

Amazingly enough, I haven't caught Haole Rot from Brian but I'm sure I will in due time. That's just how it goes.
