Hot toast - or buttered buns?

Tan lines suck!


The high today here in beautiful North Carolina - cause we like to be on top, is supposed to reach 102 degrees! Of course with the humidity it will feel like the blazes of hell. THIS makes me miss Hawaii. Hot year round but no humidity.

There are certain things about Hawaii though that I could never get used to.

There are 3 major highways on the island of Oahu. Conveniently named H-1, H-2, H-3. Now, Hawaii has deemed these INTERSTATES. Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't interstate mean that it travels through different states? And intrastate means it is only within the state? Hmmm remind me again what state Hawaii connects to?

A/C is not a standard feature in Hawaiian homes or businesses. Most places, like my old apartment, are instead equipped with "jealousy" windows. If you aren't sure what those are, well they are the windows that really resemble glass blinds. You crank the little cranker and they open up like blinds. I'm almost certain that the reason they are called jealousy windows is because if you have these windows you are jealous of the people who don't.

The price of a McDonalds value meal in Waikiki Beach is 7 bucks plus tax. But you do get a fresh side of pineapple.

At every McDonalds island wide you may purchase SPAM, eggs and rice off of the breakfast menu.

Aloha = Hello, Goodbye, Love
Mahalo = Thank you

That junk is for the tourists man, nobody walks around saying that crap outside the tourism industry. Locals speak pidgin (hawaiian slang similar to ebonics)

Hey Brah, dey was choke honey girls out at the club last night, but could no buy dem dakine cuz I one broke ass.

It is OK to cut someone off on the highway as long as you give them a shaka sign (hangloose) White people use at your own risk!

There are no polack jokes in Hawaii, they use the same jokes but reference Portuguese instead.

Flip Flops, Sandals = Slippas in Hawaii...NO EXCEPTIONS

Likelike highway is not pronounced like like. Instead it's leekay leekay

Calling to place an order for Papa Johns once I was offered a free bag of rice with my purchase.


....just to name a few

"on the island...we do it island style...from the mountain to the ocean, from the windward to the leeward side"
