Aloha and welcome to those checkin’ on in via the print world promo. Hope my ugly mug on today’s front page didn’t scare you too much. 😛 Then again, you’re here so maybe it enticed you. Haha, I keed. Welcome, welcome!
To the rest of y’all, it’s the first WIH (Where In Hawaii) contest of the new year! Gonna try and mix thangs up again and makeum interesting. A supah challenging (and larger-sized) pic, more points to go around, a caption contest and eye candy to boot. Somebody stop me! 😉
But first, some housekeeping. Last week, bruddah kuya.d made WIH history and got the first turkey (back-to-back-to-back)! Way to go dewz! Think you can make um 4 weeks in a row this week? 8) Bruddah Takeshi also moved up the ranks when he earned a cool 3 points for guessing the closest cross streets. Big ups kesh! Please help me congratulate these two.
A-ight, enough jibberish from my trap. Let’s get to the photo! As I mentioned, there will be some multi-point action going on again. Here’s how we’ll divvy um up:
* Name of Business (where this was taken): 1 point
* Location of Business (where this was taken): 1 point
* Best Caption (Top 3): 1 point each for top 3 captions (3 total)
* Name of “celebs” on covers: 1 celeb guess per person please (6 total). (This gives err-one chance fo’ score!) 🙂
Post your guesses/answers in the comment area below. Good luck y’all!
