[Kawika]

Barry: Supermarket-grade Kona goes for about $12 per pound. Top grade Kona from boutique coffee farms on the Big Island goes for probably $20 or more per pound. The way I slug back coffee I stick with the cheap stuff.

Y'all: Anytime Bruce posts, N54 lights up like it's on fire. This place would be far less entertaining if he didn't drop in once in a while. This isn't exactly some ongoing erudite discussion by SABR scholars sitting at the Round Table of the Algonquin anyway. Like others I wonder if he really is some Mergers & Acquisitions hotshot with an ultra high grade NYC apartment and a museum quality collection or if he's just some defective weirdo. The trick is not to take him seriously. The third person shtick, the busted syntax, the death wishes, it's all like a comedy act as far as I'm concerned. Ban Bruce? That would be like banning the Reverend Jim from Taxi or, heavens forfend, Kramer from Seinfeld. The place just wouldn't be the same. The guy that should be eighty-sixed is that damn kawika. Thinks his shoes don't stink because he lives in Hawaii. That bloody tedious sense of humor, if you can call it that. And always posting that friggin' autographed Lou Gehrig Goudey. Make a maggot gag. There's a guy I can't stand.
