Lounge of Tomorrow - Sooooo.....

That said, I still insist on pronouncing "aloha oe" as "aloha oy" because I think to imagine Hawaiians as the lost race of Jews.

And after an early lifetime of living near Aloha, Oregon, it did take a while before I started pronouncing the h. (The Oregon town is pronounced "uh-low-uh" not "uh-low-hah").

I love that. There used to be impromptu Zombie gatherings at Davis Square in Sommerville, MA when I lived there. (Besides the daily ones at the Davis Square Starbucks.) It was so cool to see.

Go ahead; pronounce that - I dare you (although Lani probably can and possibly Alex)

Do humuhumunukunukuapua'a's control the weather?

Could you type those from memory or did you need to look them up?

From memory. Btw, my older sister doesn't even know how to spell or pronounce her Hawaiian name without looking at her birth certificate first.

Are female Hawaiian names typically longer than male Hawaiian names?

Impressive, most impressive.

On a total side note, I wonder.... I'll bet if you ran some psych profiles you would find that individuals drawn to acting have better than average memory/recall.

I know I'll never go near acting because the thought have having to remember all the lines/marks/movements gives me the screaming heebe jeebies.
