E Peter I had to tink about dat one. Da right side of the grass. Thas like you eeda pushing up daisies or you pulling um out o da ground yeah?
Dat peetcha of da line in front of da stadium remind of da seasons I use to go every game. All you had to do was sign up and yell "line ups, get your line ups" aftah 1st quatah you can see da game manuahi. And you get money in da pocket for saimin and soda. Dose da days when Iolani St. Louis, Punahou and Kamehameha used to rule in da ILH. I was 11 years old but I could walk home and da cops no bust you foa curfew if you say you coming from da game. I used to walk home from da stadium to Maunakea St. weah I lived. Da bus was still HRT dose daze. |

Anybody remembah da mosquito trucks dat used to go up and down da valleys spraying thick white smoke out da back that contained DDT poison which I neva know at da time because I was still small keed and used to chase dat truck from behind
I remember but from a different place!
When I was a small kid I did the same thing. I would chase the truck (jeep) all the way down Pikai St. (near old army beach in Haleiwa). I thought it was fun running in and out of the fog. Now I wonder what the hell I was thinking. But, I garautee I was not thinking about too much when I was about ten and for sure I did not know about DDT. I am 58 now so I maybe I got away with it...never know for sure though. |

It IS hard to follow for a fellow like me, methinks the syntax is taxing, and whilst you're waxing lyrical, I feel ostracized and castigated.
Then again I COULD go elsewhere, where it's apparent I'm required to: The door DOES appear firmly closed to Non Pidgin speakers.
Are you too close to the woods to see the trees ?
Your posts ARE somewhat exclusive.
All the appearance of a private club with very colloquial membership requirements.
Of course my views are just the views of an outsider, I do think that there are MANY outsiders who (Presumably) would like to participate.
In all humility,

BTW Some famous person once jokingly said " If can, can. If no can, no can."
I agree. |

This is good authentic kine Hawaiian talk story.
I think It's good to have Hawaiian time for a while.
When the other members like talk, they will jump in or one new talk story will start. This kine talk story gives good insight to Hawaiian lifestyle and philosophy than most. Sure, some of it goes overhead but overall I bet plenty members can read it, enjoy it, and get something new from it. Just look at the big numbers.
And hey, how many times have I ever been wrong? Neva mind, dont count hahaha

I recently saw Sistah Robi at a concert and she said,
"If can, can...if no can.....CAN!!"
I like that mo bettah. |

Uh, Basil, please... As a person who has often been confused by *very* local dialects in England - I once slid over from a saloon bar to the "local" and bought Best Bitter all night for an old manky bloke who spoke deep Wiltshirese, just to try to understand the lingo (he fell into the Tef with his bicycle because of it - locally called "Moonraking") - and I have a lovely wife who spent two years in a school north of London doing "Maths", etc. and being told "Aren't you a silly gel?", because she didn't have the proper Excent.
I think pidgin is much more understandable than most speech encountered in Old Blighty. Not that I don't love it - especially the usual absence of most parts of speech: "Roight. Well done, Luv, Brilliant."
Oh yeah, explain the rules of that ball game you have over there, where guys in white outfits sometimes hit a ball badly and sometimes don't, yet run back and forth between sticks regardless of how far they hit the ball and the ball is supposed to bounce on the ground when pitched with a seriously bad overhand motion, etc. etc. etc. Sarah and I watched a bunch of that last Aug., after the floods in the Cotswolds, and nobody could explain it to us. "Jess the weay it is cobber. I'n it?" (Most sentences are ended with a question to make you feel bad.) Ass Roight, i'n it?
