He's now in that big Iolani Palace in the sky

That freakin' sucks. :(

Sorry but Five-O took a slight downward turn when Jack Lord got Zulu kicked off. Obviously Kono is my favorite character on the show. How can you not love a character with lines such as: "You tell them dogs dey bite me dey gonna get rabies!" or "Man...you wun big dumb Hawaiian, bruddah." How many times did he say that?

Kono: "I got photogenic memory."

McGarrett (chuckling): "Kono, that's photographic memory."

Kono (absolutely straightfaced): "Yeah, that's what I said."

Those quotes are from memory so may be off a bit. I've been looking for Zulu as Kono stuff for a while on the net and ebay with little success. I hope to sometime find a nice 8x10 b&w photo for a place of honor behind my future bar, but no luck so far.

Rest in peace Big Kahuna.
