Hawaii anyone? - Page 6

I'll have you know that I ate no paper before discovering they were there. But I will admit to the occasional paper-laden bite after the discovery from not paying attention.

Prudence, if you're willing to drive a bit I am told you can get manapua at Uwajimaya Village. But I don't now if they're worth that drive and getting humbao on the Ave would be a fair approximation (though not quite the same).

And I dont know what the weather up there is actually like, but down here it has me in the mood to sit on the steps in front of Kane Hall, reading a book with some intellectual heft, while watching frisbee, hackysack, pretty girls, and crazy preachers.

God, what an evocative sentence!

But it started with a conjunction!

Donuts? Manapua are donuts? All this fuss over donuts?

Next thing is I'll find out that a saved ice is really just a snow-cone....

Portuguese you say? Huh, I would have thought the Pollock role on the Islands would have been taken by the tourist/mainlander joke. (See above comments).

Some of the most evocative things in life don't follow the rules.

But, damnit, now I'm singing Conjunction Junction.

Oh now you didn't just compare shave ice to a sno-cone! I believe you have just disqualified yourself from any further contribution.

Totally.

Me? Never.

I was just giving examples of the type of comments "mainlanders" might make in order to backup my assertion that jokes about mainlanders made more sense than portuguese... Yeah that's it.

82 with a moderate breeze. No crazy preachers at the moment, but I did hear a group somewhere doing cheers earlier. And there are herds of people touring.

Doh! I almost forgot about Mauna Key Observatory! I just gotta take this tour!

After all how could I go to paradise and not visit the one spot that's 30 degrees all year round?
