okay okay-relax- .... it's just a joke,......couldn't resist it though...i'd throw any one of you under the bus for a laugh......the timing was perfect in light of the recent mai kai dissapointment debacle.....sorry sven :)

Now that's funny. I don't care who you are...

For me, the "ohana" is a closed group. My "ohana" is mainly a gourp of people who were active in this community from 2001-2003 and spearheaded what defined it. People who were at TO at Caliente Tropics and hung out in Romm 351. Was it 351? I forget the number. People who I met at the 1st 2 Hukilau and just bonded with.

Since then, it's just sort of generic. About as real as "Brotherhood" or whatever.

And I also agree that a lot of non-Cali people have thin skin when they deal with Cali people. They project a clique onto people who just honestly are friends because they hang out together. They (we) feel like outsiders more than we should.
