Spam vs. Hot Dog

  Ova da summer, was so FRICKIN HOT, we had for go to the waterpark. Granted, da waterpark is in Kapolei, which is pretty much Nanakuli wit one nicer name, and its hot as hell out dea... BUT we wen go anyway. SO, of course we was hungry by lunch time and we wen go wait in da line at da concession stand like everbody else. I wen overhea one haole lady behind me talking to her daughter and da conversation went like dis:

    Haole Lady: (southern drawl) I can't believe they ACTUALLY sell Spam around here. We went into the 7-11 the other day and they had these things called Mu-su-bi. It's like Spam with rice. Disgusting.                                                            

    Daughter: (slight southern drawl) That is SO Gross. Spam's Nasty.

    Haole Lady: So what are you gonna have for lunch, darlin'?

    Daughter: I think I just want a hot dog, chips , and a Coke.

    Haole Lady: That sounds good. I think I'll have that, too.

 As I wen stop for ponder this conversation, I had one simple realization...Spam and Hot Dogs are the SAME THING!!! They both stay processed by-products of da pig. So how come Spam is Public Enemy Numba 1 and Hot Dogs are da Great American food? According to da statistics, Americans consume 20 BILLION hot dogs a year!! The 7 Billion eaten in the summer could stretch from Chicago, da hot dogs Mecca, to Frankfurt, Germany, da hot dogs homeland 125 times. 

                            
 Nothing stay more American than stuffing your face wit processed meat...As long as you call 'em one hot dog, NOT Spam. Dis is Joey Chestnut, da Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest Champion. He stay one American hero for beating the former champion, Kobayashi, of Japan. Chestnut has won da past 3 years in a row.

This pass year, Joey Chestnut wen eat 68 hot dogs in da Nathan's contest. He broke his own World Record! If he wen eat 68 cans of Spam dey would call him one terrorist.

Kumu Kahua = Da Bess Deal in Town

 The Territory of Hawaii is Kumu Kahua Theater's current production. Kumu Kahua Theater, in my humbo opinion, is da BESS deal in town. Its one small theater in town on Merchant Street  that gets pass by so much times, but still hides out. Da Buggahs ova dea produce "Plays about life in Hawai'i, Plays by Hawaii's playwrights, Plays for Hawai'i's people." Students get discount wit tickets only 5 bucks and everybody else is only $10-15. Da tickets for go watch movies is like $10 bucks and half da time da movie was junk anyway. 

 I wen watch last months production which was "Da Mayah" written by Lee Cataluna. Was so Funny. An' da sad part was dat the theater was not even full. So if you get da chance, try check 'em out. Cuz it's good fun ova dea. Plus too, get Murphy's right across da street for befoa and after drinks!

I going watch "Territory of Hawaii" next weekend and I will post one review, bumbye.

Hanabata Days

It's funny wen you tink back at all da stuffs you wen do small-kid time. tink about where you when live, what you wen eat, and what you did for fun:

Hanabata Days was full of bare feet and bee stings,
Had Ice cake and school lunch
Snack time I always had fruit roll-up or graham crackers
But all da odda guys had nori and hi-chew

Hanabata Days was May Day and Buta Hunt wit Frank Delima
was chasemaster and no masterbacks
had rainy days, which meant board games on the lanai at school
Connect Four was da bestess

Had Mr. Tanji da skool cook
and Ms. Lima da skool nurse
Had Reading Rainbow and da Book Fair
and Family Fun Nite

Hanabata Days we used to make kukui nut sailboats
and race 'em in the gutter wen had choke rain
Catch Crawfish in the auwai
and make 'em fight

Hanabata Days was Pick- Up- Sticks and Linkin Logs
was nap time, pledge of allegiance, and da bugel horn at 8am
was late for school and wait for mom to pick us up
was soccer in the front yard

Hanabata Days was care free, no worries
always had nuff
even if neva have choke
Where did dose days go?
