Everything from hemmeroids to steroids is a valid topic of conversation for both commisseration and ridicule. Basically, anything that would entertain a 12 year old boy. | ||

I truly enjoy you and I'm glad you've decided to join us here at the TFC. ...i suppose that would be a quick cure for any hemorrhoidal or... I mean OFC. And HEY! I ate something called "lau lau" out of a lunch truck across from the Capitol in Honolulu. Great stuff. When I got back home I looked for some. But there's not a single Hawaiian restaurant in Atlanta. | ||

Joined: October 2006 Posts: 5575 Location: big island | aloha cap'n, in the song, "i'm going back to my little grass shack (in kealakekua, hawaii)" one of the lines is: "lau lau is the kau kau at the big luau". since you ate the stuff from a roach coach, i mean maggot wagon, i mean lunch truck, yours was probably the pork variety. lau lau is generally a meat or fish wrapped in taro leaves first and then ti leaves and steamed. it is one of my favorites and goes so well with the poi! i no longer eat pork but enjoy the chicken and sweet potato variety lau lau. when i was living in asheville, nc and working in the food brokerage business, i helped bob ingle set up his chain of supermarkets in your area. i was all over the atlanta area. i well remember spaghetti junction! | ||

My 1581 and even my old SSB 1881 Adamas II completely blow away the couple of SMT models I've played. Just something about the finish and weave that limit the sound quality unplugged. Nothing quite like the original...or as close to it as we can get! | ||

Joined: October 2006 Posts: 5575 Location: big island | cap'n, when we play those two songs at our gigs, we do it medley style. we start out with "little grass shack" and lead into "hukilau" so it's all one song to my mind. | ||
