Okay, so sorry to be late on here. My high school alma mater has been a rough two weeks, and all the activity plum wore me out. But I’m back, because if there’s another thing besides his high school that Bamboo Buckaroo wants to keep going it’s the BRP monthly writing contest, now in our…
WoooHooo! Happy New Year to everyone. Including Santa. Lived through another brutal Christmas. I wondered how is it possible to cover the whole world in one night? Well, I found out that with the heavy disguise, it’s hard to tell one Santa from another, so he hires roughly one million people for the Christmas rush…
Aloha and Happy Holidays to all of you writers out there. I can’t believe how fast and faster the years fly by. Why just yesterday it was December 2nd. And now it’s December 3rd already. Amazing. Okay, on to more important matters. We have November winners! You have each won 1,000 Bamboo Bucks. Oh, wait,…
I was gone, but now I’m back. A little jet-lagged but dealing with it. I hope you ate a lot of Halloween candy, but that’s because I’m a dentist. No no no no no. Just kidding. If I were a dentist, believe me, it would not be safe. So, we got winners for October. That’s…
I miss Jim Harstad’s writing entries. Merry Christmas to all of you. I know, it’s early, right? Tell that to all the stores at Ala Moana Shopping Center and elsewhere who have their Christmas decorations going up. Unreal. But what’s scary isn’t that the decorations and sale items are early, it’s that they’re really early….
Ahoy, mateys, and welcome aboard September. Summer’s gone, and school’s back in session. Traffic sucks and we have no inter-island ferry system. What a time to be alive and writing about stuff! We got August winners. Yeah! And each of you receives not one, not two, not three, not four, not five, not six, not…

Hey, Happy May! Darrell and Eric said No to my idea about giving away cars again. They explained to me that because of the pandemic, there’s a car shortage, so if we gave away cars as prizes, we’d be putting too much pressure on the automobile industry to make more cars. Makes sense. So they…
