Hey, no fair... I'm still waiting for my copy to arrive! How long have you had it? Anyone else not get issue 4 yet?

the issue washed up on shore of our island a while ago and a few of us went through it and found it quite the entertaining rag...
Tho it tickled us with so much visual stimuli, like an explosion in Dizzyland's tiki room, we were still able to read and had a few laffs at:

"Gecko is definitely da big puka"
Gecko is a nice guy and a very good artist but I don't know anyone here that would call him "The big hole".
nope.

"The Hawaiian steel guitar is "tiki"?!"...Joseph walking beside a railroad track in La'ie near Honolulu..."
I am here to tell you, La'ie is not near Honolulu. Not even kinda near. Not so much as even a little far from Honolulu. In fact, you can't find a town on Oahu that is further from Honolulu than La'ie is. Solly Cholly. They are on complete opposite ends of the island.

"Smokin Menehunes, a Hawaiian trio..."
Nope.
Sunday Manoa = Hawaiian Trio.
Makaha Sons = Hawaiian trio.
But haoles on the mainland... a Hawaiian trio?

There is mention of a Hawaiian Guitar player;
Sol Ho'opi'l
no such person.
We do know of a
Sol Hoopii though.

otherwise it was a fairly entertaining megacollection of more modern tiki in one place that we've ever seen.
