A friend just called this to my attention -- it appears to have been printed about a year ago. Have a chuckle. However, I was dead serious aabout this. I think the topic was my first post or so on Taro Patch and you guys, especially Sarah and Menpachi Man, helped me enormously figure this out.

Well, Wanda, at least you have proof in print. In my case, my friends and family say the jury is still out.

So, if they talk like that in Cleveland, do they even talk like that in Arkansas?

Mika ele - where do you come upwith those sayings? That's kind of like someone saying, "I thought I was wrong, but I was mistaken."
Or kinda like Henny Youngman..."Take my wife. Please." By the way, why don't we hear of funny Jewish comedians anymore like in the old days with Shecky Green and Mort Sahl and dem? You know, the "Borscht Belt" comics? I guess they have been replaced by rednecks, yeah? I heard Gallagher on the radio this morning. Turns out he is from Lorain, Ohio, just about 30 miles from here.
I like the baseball one especially. |

Dear Pilikia - You have my utmost apologies. Or maybe you should have them from the nupepa kane. Well, I am sure he would apologize most profusely as well.
E kala mai.

Aloha! Interesting article. I don't know if I can explain how it happened. Sometimes weird things happen unexpectedly. Did you hear about what happened to the Beatles? They wrote "Eleanor Rigby," and when they were pau, they went to the church that they were referring to in the song, and there was a grave of someone named Eleanor Rigby right near it and they didn't even know it when they wrote it. Isn't that freaky?

And if you play Strawberry Fields backwards, it says "I buried Paul". And one or another of their records was supposed to say "turn me on dead man" at the end of it. And on the Abbey Road album, Paul was walking barefoot and that was supposed to be a sign of death. But as we all know, Sir Paul McCartney has survived and thrived (well, except for the alimony thing).
But there are plenty of true chicken skin stories out there. At least I learned about the mele, and I started on my journey to write a mele and the story (every word true, brah) has introduced me to so many fine folks, like the TP `ohana. |

Very funny piece, well written -- you can see why ka mea kakau (the author) won a Newspaper Columnists First Place Award in 2004 for humor writing! Wanda, I'd forgotten this incident, but now recall your asking about it way back when.
aloha,
Sarah |
