It'd be clever if the last 16 words of the headline weren't completely fabricated to make the headline (sort of) work.

I'd rather see the old Hawaii-5-0 with Jack Lord than the new one. But I'm glad they gave Masi Oka a job.

Speaking of Jack Lord, I had a weird dream a few nights ago. I dreamed I was at a party in the penthouse of some Waikiki or downtown Honolulu high-rise. It just so happened that the penthouse was like one of those rotating restaurants -- then it started rotating, faster and faster. I saw Jack Lord in his signature Hawaii-5-0 electric blue suit, hanging on to the railing of the lanai for dear life. I had a dilemma; save Steve McGarrett or save myself. I chose the latter.

The helicopter's operator, Blue Hawaiian charters, declined to comment on the crash Thursday evening.

I'm so relieved that it wasn't "Island Hoppers".

I met Jack Lord back stage at the Jerry Lewis Telethon in Honolulu. It was 1979. For the local telethon, he came out and sang a couple of Hawaiian songs. I acted like I was answering phones. It was much better than actually answering phones. There were a bunch of dancers, kinda of like the Hawaii version of the Solid Gold Dancers. After they left the stage, I went to check them out. Jack, I can call him Jack, was standing there just off stage. They guy seemed like he was ten feet tall. All class. I shook his hand and muttered something and he told me "Those damn phones weren't going to answer themselves, ha'ole." It was a thing we shared. Our love of not wanting to answer telephones. I went on to invent the answering machine but it turns out somebody else already invented it and made a fortune.

I refuse to watch the new 5-0. It would just be one more nail driven into the coffin of the memories of my youth.

You've passed beyond cynical bastardy and gone on to curmudgeonhood. I hope you have a lawn you can scream at local youth for walking across.

Not only that but am training an attack force of killer raccoons to take 'em out.

We're wondering if some of our friends were on board. Still no word at all. They're 1) newlyweds from Ontario, and 2) are in Hawaii for their honeymoon.

It's actually pretty good. Every so often they get a little obvious with the product placement (the phones and the GM products) but this season has been a lot better with that.

I forgive them the product placement, because the brand new Camaros they drive are F*CKING SWEET.

And as a cop show goes, it's pretty entertaining. Plus it's nice to see a cop show that doesn't take place in New York or LA. And I could look at Grace Park all night long.

The Pilot had Fords and Danno drove a Mustang. They were going to have McGarrett restore his dad's old Mercury Marquis. When Chevy beacme the sponsor, the Mercury disappeared.

Really just started this season. The last episode had Greg Grunberg on as a guest star, and they did a little "bit" where they thought they knew each other from something else. It was cool.

Damn, a friend of mine heard that thing go down yesterday.

Facebook has now given me news before CNN or Fark.

"Wow. That really sounded like a helicopter crashing. Without the actual crash. Like, whoop whoopitie whoop whoop - silence."

Sad tidings from Molokai. It apparently went down in the hills behind his kid's school.

In 1982, my Chinook helicopter was tasked with recovering a crashed Coast Guard HH-53A from an ocean-facing cliff on the north coast of Molokai. Link (new window) The aircraft was searching in IFR conditions for a sinking fishing boat three miles off the coast, and the scab air-traffic controller guided them into a mountain a mile inland. It took a week just to get the bodies out of the precariously perched wreckage. I had to rappel from my helicopter to the wreckage so I could rig slings to get the aircraft home.

The crash killed the Coast Guard's only (at the time) female pilot and two others. On mission completion, the CG base invited my aircrew to their private bar where they locked the doors, took our keys and then forced us to drink more upscale alcohol and meet more beautiful and appreciative women than is healthy for a growing soldier.

I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for the Coast Guard, much of their heroism (I was once rescued off the Northern California coast in a powerless fishing boat from the rocks by them) goes unnoticed and unrewarded.
