Kayden, get one moa for you buggahs-
Mebbe you no I wen stay pleeny yeah in Waimanu Valley. So one time we get plenny people stay in da valley, an I like make one imu. I no moa gun, so I wen borrow one from my fren- he get dis hunting pistol, 357 Magnum wid da 12 inch barrel, nice buggah dat!
So I wen back on da west side, came roun da cornah jus pass Waiilikahi- almos to what I like call da "lower slaughterhouse". Da rivah dere come right by da pali, mebbe 40-50 feet wide. Dere jus across da rivah stay one white boah- big buggah, mebbe 350 poun, fat. I wen take good aim, BAM! Da buggah jus wen look at me. I go again, BAM! Dat pua'a, he jus walk down da trail real slow kine. BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! Onli eight bullets I get. Dat pua'a, nevah wen look at me again oa noting, nevah wen run oa even speed up- jus walk slowly down da trail, wander off into da bushes.
I stay kinda piss off- I da big shot huntah, one shot kine- tinking da gun stay messed up, sights wrong, somming lidat. So I go cross da rivah fo see if get any blood- mebbe da buggah stay make jus roun da cornah oa somming. Real soft mud on da oddah side of da rivah- almos wen suck da tabi off da feet. No moa blood- but moa worse, no moa track at all! Now if you eveah wen go Waimanu, den you no stay hard foa fine one place wi' no moa pua'a track- get track everywhere! But obbah dere, no moa blood, no moa track, no moa nothing.
Das when I unnahstand I jus wen see da famous ghost pig of Waimanu...
An das one true story!
Chris

| Good thing he was a spirit kine so he don't get you with his tusks after you wen' make him irkatated from shooting at him so much. I have heard stories of ghost dogs, though, around the old Pali Road on O`ahu. Also, for a really good story, if you have not yet read it, Keola Beamer's book, "The Shimmering" has one really spectacular story about Kamapua`a. It is not really an obake story, but pretty chicken skin, anyway. It is the title story in the book (plenty other good stories, too, most of which are so funny, you buss up.) |

I am not a great fan of hillbilly jokes, mostly because I have been regaled with some very, very rude ones. But a friend sent me this picture and caption, and it made me laugh so hard.
A red-neck fire alarm.

Yep, Paul is old fashioned. He still shoots da gun what gotta pour da powdah down deah, den put da ball and patch and shove em wit da stick thing, I foget what it is called, ramrod, I tink. Oni get one shot at a time. But 50 caliber ball, it makes a BIG hole in da critter. 50 caliber = 1/2 inch diameter. He has one rifle lidat and one pistol lidat, both which he builded himself. I tink pistol wit a clip is dislegal in Ohio. But Paul not eggzackly outta date. Just befo time, das all. Oni just old. Ha-ha. Elemakule make an old man.
But I love him garanz-ballbaranz. |

According to this book, no need to speak pidgin. Can use non-verbal gestures to get the point across. (no middle finger jokes),
 No Language Communication
Okay, maybe Japanese is a bit hard to learn to speak and write. But there’s a lot you can say in Japanese using just your hands, nose, arms, and other forms of suggestive “body” language. This whimsical look at Japan’s "language of no language" introduces 70 gestures that will help you hurl insults, flirt, agree, excuse yourself, cross the street, and even make promises-—wordlessly!
Some are deadly, some practical, some wacky, but all are genuine and used today on the streets of Japan, at home, and in manga and anime. Finally, a way to tell someone at a loud party, "Hey! Your underwear is showing!" in four easy hand motions! 70 Japanese Gestures is an excellent instruction book for students of Japanese, language teachers, business negotiators, and cross-cultural observers. Fully indexed and illustrated.

Wanda, I bet Paul knows some Italian hand gestures, too! Us Scandihoovians didn't gesture much. Better to keep da hands in da pockets for warmth.
BTW you know where the term "hillbilly" came from? |

Back in the 1600s, the Dutch "William of Orange" became king of Great Britain. He was a Protestant and defeated a Catholic army at the Battle of the Boyne in Ireland, thus securing Britain's Protestant hegemony. In Scotland, Protestants became known as "Billies", Catholics as "Timmies".
When the American colonies were settled, a large contingent of Scots Highlanders settled in the Carolina back-country. Also about the same time, large numbers of Ulster Scots (Scotch-Irish)settled in southern Pennsylvania and filtered down into the Appalachians. Both groups were Protestant, thus "Billies". As they settled in the hills, they became "Hillbillies". Many of the dialect words of the Appalachian region can be traced back to Scots, such as "he learned me" instead of "he taught me", and "proven" instead of "proved". Broken English stay in moa dan one place! |

Thank you, Kory for the history. Now you got me interested in digging a wee bit further. I'm going to start reading about my own heritage. I do know that when I was a kid, some of the old granny ladies spoke differently than the younger folks. They used words that my mother said were "old English". I recall in an earlier post, Basil helped track down the origin and meaning of a word "kyarn" which was frequently used to denote something very bitter and unpleasant.

Certain gestures in Japan don't mean the same thing as they do in the U.S. For example, enclosing the forefinger and thumb with other fingers spread out doesn't mean "okay," it means "money." Holding your thumb out with the rest of the fingers closed doesn't mean "it's all good," it means you're referring to a man. |
