2.14 — Pu’olo / The Package

This episode is titled THE PACKAGE, and I will surely stab myself in the heart with my carrots if Show doesn’t deliver. But not before I beat my drum, and solider march in a circle, as FUCUPs rattle and shake their cookarachas while simultaneously being splattered across walls, windows, and beneath desks.

READY.
SET.
GO.

Beautiful colours are splashing across my screen and I think someone’s playing some form of a ukulele. I like ukuleles, though not necessarily the men who play them.

Anyhoo, Show is peeping tom the Kamehameha Highway, and a truck with two human persons with peens between their legs. They have twelve stops to go, and the veteran driver is all I have been sleeping with the same woman for 25 years, and next week, I’m taking her to Vegas where I plan on leaving her behind, and the rookie is all 25 years! I can’t even commit to a regular poo-ing schedule, let alone a person!

If Show has taught us anything is that these two — who are awfully happy — are going to die DEAD. Or, at the very least, enter into a state of terror in the v near future.

A van rushes past them, throws down some spikes over which the drivers run and flatten their tires, before coming to a dead stop. They crack open the back and take what they came for; the stupid mother fkn rookie because MEN ARE SO DUMB AND YOU ARE NOT JASON BOURNE goes for something and gets his buddy shot DEAD.

So. Show has killed one, terrorised both. We are off to a lovely start.

Show uses Animal to bang out its beat.

Sidebar: Incidentally, if any of you spy an Animal t-shirt, please let me know. I have a Cookie Monster one, but am in desperate search for an Animal one. Love him.

OH! We are at McG Shangri La circa 1992, when McPanty Destroyer was only 16, and soon to lose Momma McG and then be shipped off. I like this. A lot.

So. Uhm. McG Teen looks nothing like McG Adult. In fact, all that is similar to McG Adult is the blue eyes / dark hair combo. McG Teen used to receive silicone injections in his mouth, and has since begun plucking his eyebrows.

Poppa McG is some kind of alcoholic who needs drink to tell his son that he’s sending both him and his sister away to the mainland. Poppa McG tells him that his primary concern is the safety of his children; that he may always trust TBG; and slips in a trick Q: do you like my coiffed hairstylings (because is that a mullet, FUCUPs?)?

The acting skills of Teen McG are as POETIC as those of Taylor Lautner. He acts by numbers. Prey he gets his own show so that I may stare in awe at my screen, while wondering why I didn’t actually go into acting after all…?

Cut to McG who is eyes.xing his rear view mirror and clenching his handsome devil jaw. I hope he doesn’t have temporomandibular joint disorder. He is in fact eyes.xing his rear-view mirror, spying on TBG who tries to enter a store currently closed. When he can’t get in, he starts walking down an alley, and McG is following him, without a care in the world because he must know he’s already been made. I mean, it’s TBG!

Also, McG is looking really mighty fine, see:

TBG calls him out, and McG wants to help TBG find Shell Burn, because as smart as McG is, he sometimes does not see the obvious writing in the sky that says stuff like TBG KNOWS WHO SHELL BURN IS, and REMOVE YOUR PANTS, and YOU ARE SURROUNDED BY LESBIANS.

Oh! There’s the first “son” of Show. TBG tells “son” to go home, but McG won’t have any of it, and neither will TBG. Some d!cks are thrown around and McG is saved by the bell. He takes a call while TBG takes a walk.

  1. Hi Prettteeeeee Mama! I’ve been anxiously waiting for your recap, and am pleasantly surprised that THE PACKAGE has arrived early!!! Of course, being a good FUCUP, I will always think that THE PACKAGE = THE FOY. Love ya!

  2. Yay!! You went into labor early just like rach hell!

  3. RE: McG Shangri La 1992
    I thought that they could have done a better/different look to make Poppa McG look younger. I mean, he didn’t look much different from 2010 version. P.S. I think that the actor who played Teen McG really has brown eyes, so he was wearing blue color contacts. I wasn’t to fond of his hair style…..

  4. OMG OMG OMG!! A new recap!! So exciting. Does Pu’olo REAAALLLY mean The Package?! Like Seriously?!::INSERT SNORTING SARDONIC LAUGHTER HERE::

  5. I may or may not have overdramatically gasped out loud when they first cut to McG eyes.xing himself in the rear view mirror.
    D@mn that man is so handsome I want to kick puppies.
    (that’s for you Kimmer)

  6. I did not realize my full obsession with the chin dimple until it did not appear on Junior McG. This is obsession is now followed closely behind by the new obsession for McG in that shirt. That color. That glorious color and how it made my panties put the flag at half mast.

    Thanks, Maha for being so on top of this epi. Remember you have a three week break coming since the next two weeks are reruns. Boo for us, but glad for you anyway.

    • Really?? Ooooh WOW!!!

      Three week hiatus. Holee.

      • Bleh, three weeks is a long time. Since I’m new, wondering where do you ladies go to discuss the love of our show?

        • Hi Barhengi, i’m also fairly new here, but with these people (us) there is always something to do. Thought i’ll catch up on what they’ve written in the past – and beginning to think that it is impossible (but i’m still gona try!) Don’t know if you are just here for the show? Most is here for The MAN and discussion about him will never run dry!

  8. My only complaint this week is that the translation “The Package” didn’t mean what I thought it meant.

    http://h50bamf.tumblr.com/post/15977661007/tonights-hawaii-five-0-is-puolo-translated-to

    • I sent Your pic link to a facebook aol fan and she replied, nice expressions…!? I was totally in shock! How could she not see the OBVIOUS focus point of the pics! I didn´t have a heart to tell her to take another look, but I´m still in awe of the 1st row middle…

    • “*** Click on it to make it grow” – LOVE IT!

    • Ha ha ha!!
      That would have been SO FUN.

    • LaHagela "The Tinkler"

      My eyes can’t get past the mma red trunks picture, is there anything good after that? Luv u Ess!

    • OMG OMG OMG!
      Mr. Postman, pleeeeeze leave that package on my doorstep! (it won’t fit in the mailbox).

    • I like these! But Tumblr still doesn’t think I’m to be trusted with a ‘Like It’ button however. Where have they hidden it?

    • Oh Em Gee! Love “The Package” montage! Did you ever see this screencap?

      THE PACKAGE!!!!!!

      ::::::I’m ded::::::

      • That is one of my all-time faves — it was sent to me and I nearly capsized when I opened it.

        Proof positive that The FOY was telling time. Like a sundial.

      • Infant_Sardonic

        When Sheila and I hike along/up/around the trails at Diamond Head (which we are actually doing) will this be the view?

        As my love of that singlet has been well documented throughout this site I will leave it to y’all to figure out which view I am talking about. :P

        • Make sure you bring your binoculars when you are @ DH !!

        • Cool, you’re traveling to Hawaii? If you happen to see the “view,” please call me and I will be there in a heartbeat!

          As for the actual scenery, I don’t think this is from Diamond Head. Probably from somewhere on the Windward Side. Hmmm…I’ll get back to you!

          • Infant_Sardonic

            Sheila and I (plus 2 other friends) are indeed. We’re there for quite some time so we intend on going hikes and learning how to surf in an attempt to counteract all the eating we’ll be doing. ;)

            Ohhhh you think you could figure out where that hike is??? You would be totes talented if you could do that.

            Welcome to the fun house by the way. :D

            • Oh, shoot, Infant! I just might have to go hiking every.single.day till I find out…Unless, of course, if I find the view, then I’m just gonna stop there!

              Thanks for the welcome!

              • Infant_Sardonic

                Sorry misunderstood, I thought you’d gone and remembered from your own trip or something and just recognised the view. :)

                • Hehe, nope I don’t know since it’s been a while since I’ve hiked over here…so I’m trying to figure out what area that is. And without me getting off-topic and toooo seeerrreeeeeoussss, I’m guessing it’s somewhere in Waimanalo.

                  • Infant_Sardonic

                    Do you mean to say you live in Hawaii? I am v jealous. I love the heat, swimming and the beach, all things Hawaii has in its corner. :)

                    • Yep! Where the other Hawaii peeps at?

                      Sorry I wasn’t clear about that…it was way past my bedtime! ;p

                  • Karin@notMcNerd

                    Since I’m always looking for rewatch excuses, I tracked down the
                    outofbreath scene. It was on Kamehame Ridge Windward acording to notice on the screen. Now you need to scout it out and report back to Infant how to get there.
                    And welcome to the zoo!!

                    • Wow, Karin, you found the episode? Which one?
                      If that’s the place, then it’s “private” land, though it hasn’t stopped a few hikers… I’ll dig further and will report.
                      Thanks…best zoo I’ve ever been to. Ever.

                    • Karin@notMcNerd

                      The outofbreath scene is near the beginning of the episode with Rick Springfield called Ho’ohuli Na’au. I think it’s episode S1.22. There’s also nice bun action as we see Steve running uphill. The whole scene is pretty awesome. You’ll need the Season 1 DVD to check it out. Don’t know if you have it, but someone just reported it’s on sale at Best Buy.
                      (Sorry, Someone. I deleted the comment from my email before I noticed who posted and on which page and I’m too tired to look for it now. But thanks for the heads up.)

                    • Infant_Sardonic

                      Private land, I see, explains the lack of info about how to get there and where the trail is exactly when I looked it up. :)

                    • If I recall – I read somewhere that that ridge has a platform where hang gliders launch from? You can kind of see the concrete platform in one of the scenes.

                    • Infant_Sardonic

                      The hang gliding from the episode where the girl died…….

                      Karin, forgive me if I am getting my peeps mixed up, highly likely owing to my not so awesome memory but did you just visit HI?

                    • Karin@notMcNerd

                      Your memory is intact, Infant. I was there at the end of November. But, since I could never find out where or when a “sighting” might occur on Oahu, I just spent the whole time on Maui.
                      BTW, hiking was never, never on my agenda! But you go, girl! You said this was going to be an extended trip. How long will you be traveling?

                    • Infant_Sardonic

                      Karin we’re there for 26 days. Hononlulu for a week just Sheila and I, then Maui for 4 days, then we meet our two friends back in Oahu and jump on a cruise for a week so we island hop for a week then we spend another 5 days all four of us back in Honolulu.

                      I was going to ask what h50 related places did you check out (because I’m too lazy to go through my s1 dvds to find places I want to visit) but you didn’t end up going to Oahu so no matter. :)

            • Infant_Sardonic-There are a few hikes I’m thinking of, one of which is private, but still not sure…. I wanna be talented, so I gotta find out!
              Karin@notMcNerd-Yup, I got the DVD (On sale plus coupon meant a very Merry Christmas to me!). Thanks for letting me know the episode, gonna watch it again!
              KimmerNY-My brother in law seems to think that’s the hang glider place, but I don’t know about hang gliding, so I gotta contact someone who knows!

              • Infant_Sardonic

                Mate, only if it’s not too much trouble. We found a hike up Diamond Head we are going to do, plus a whole heap of other things that make me sound fitter than I am, ;) so no stress if you can’t figure it out.

                • So, I am 95% sure that’s the Kamehame Dr Hike. Posted signs say “private” but I think I’ll chance it there next week after the Pro Bowl festivities.

                  • Oh man please don’t get arrested on my account….

                    • Hehe, no worries. My friends (and lots of other people) go there all.the.time. and say it’s worth it. After all this, I gotta go! If you choose to go, please do at your own risk! ;p

                • Karin@notMcNerd

                  Infant, I just now saw your itinerary. I don’t know how I missed that comment. It sounds wonderful! 26 days with a cruise thrown in for good measure. Nice that there will be four of you. That way you can split up if people want to do different things. Not always so easy with three people. When are you leaving?

                  • Infant_Sardonic

                    We leave May 21st. :) There is wi fi on the cruise so I may check in from time to time, but basically, I will pretty much disappear until after I return on the 15th. :)

                • Infant: Congrats on your trip. Wow, it sounds wonderful and I’m so green with envy, I need to shoot something (With my Nerf gun silly.) And what are you talking about, you are fit, but just as a precaution, pack some rolls of duct tape. I’ll be thinking of you on your travels.. and wishing we were all there with you. Be safe. LOL, McMo

                  • Infant_Sardonic

                    Green like your avatar perhaps? ;) I will eat some shave ice for you…and puka dogs…and malasada. Sheila and I have a list of places we want to eat at so I think we better hike up Diamond Head every day. And free refills! So excited to visit the land of free refills. ;)

                    • Infant, did I tell you I am a bit psychic and I’ve got a feeling I might just run into The MAN himself. If you do, please tell him somebody recommended you get some splinters in your a.s……

                    • Infant_Sardonic

                      Ha! I think if I run into Alex I’m going to count my blessings if I even remember my own name let alone say a whole sentence.

                      Hope you’re feeling turns out to be right. :)

                    • Infant, I think you’ll remember about the splinters then….and it will either calm you down or you’ll start giggling…..You Aussies have a good sense of humor, he might just get it!

                    • No, this can’t be the only place that offers free refills? *eyes wide open*

                    • Pizza Hut does free refills here. Not sure if that counts as nowhere else does.

                      Infant, I am v v jealous and I hope you have a wonderful time.

                    • Infant_Sardonic

                      Australia does not have free refills. You want another drink you buy it buddy. Unless you go to TGI Fridays or Hard Rock Cafe, they have free refills, ’cause they’re American, but all other places. No free refills….but also, no tipping.

                    • Infant_Sardonic

                      Also, thanks Alicia. :)

          • barhengi7 | January 22, 2012 at 12:57 pm |
            Yep! Where the other Hawaii peeps at?

            Displaced kamaaina here in Texas! Went to Hawaii School for Girls until my dad and I moved to Maui. After high school, I moved back to Oahu, attended and graduated from UH. Moved to Texas several years ago, but am planning on moving back to Hawaii in the next few years. I am soooooo homesick. :(

      • That there! OMG! We need the occasional pics to prove our lust is not a fantasy! I already made a gif of that scene but should perhaps redo now better/bigger for tumblr….

      • Gzuz… where do you people find these screencaps?! You’ll be the death of me.

  9. Infant_Sardonic

    Why has no one responded to this part of the recap:

    “The acting skills of Teen McG are as POETIC as those of Taylor Lautner. ”

    Maha, how do you know how poetic an actor Taylor Lautner is???? Are you a closet Twihard??? :P My cousin is in love with him. She is of course an impressionable youth who thinks Alex is my bad boy phase. <3 you Bianca.

    • One of my besties and I have a special date night when this diarrhoea is released. We go to snark and laugh out loud — the last one, I nearly passed out laughing so hard.

    • I was going to say something, but I got my Taylors mixed up, and was worried that I might get sent to the corner for insulting Maha’s favorite actor named Taylor. Just realized that she likes Kitsch, not Lautner. And she’s being sardonic…..not so seeeeerrrious.

      I also think teen vampire angst movies are comedic, that’s why I keep going to see them.

  10. The pathos of the scene with McGTeen and his father was entirely lost on me. All I could think about was that revelation that McG plucks his eyebrows. Well done, SHOW, for indepth character reveal. Then we zoomed to McG looking in the mirror… what am I to think? That McG had just that moment stashed his tweezers away in the glove-box.

  11. Just a quick note, since this seems to be an active thread:
    The H50 season 1 DVD set is on sale this week (thru Jan. 28) for $19.99 (US$) at Be$t buy dot com and its retail stores.*

    *I-Spy-The-FOY Guide not included. Please visit h50sardonic.com for that service.
