1 XL White
3 L White

Tiki-toa, check your personel messages.

Isn't a Menehume like an evil little Hawaiian leprechaun? So..

A Smokin Menehune would be like a really stoned evil little Hawaiian leprechaun??

Looking forward to seeing the Menehunes at the Long Beach Tiki Fest 8/21-22.

I'll pick up my shirt there, if they have them. Nice design, Chongolio!

Actually, the menehune was a mythical (or not) race of short folk that was known to accomplish great civil engineering feats, such as dams, bridges, roadways etc.

In addition, these incredible feats were always completed in one night; if they weren't, they would never be completed.

Whether the menehunes were mythical or not is a point of contention in Hawaii. During one of the first census of Hawaii conducted by the British in the late 1800's, about 16,000 people identified themselves as 'menehune'.

Did these little bastards have anything to do with the construction of the infamous "Road to Hana"? If so, they really must have been partaking of the infamous "Maui Wowee".

Anyone who has been to Maui will know what I mean!

Aaron,

Your appreciation of Hawaiian culture is really quite missionary.

Were you someone else on this board at one time?

Hey! Great collector item idea!

Bring your SM's shirt to the ITD gig and we'll all sign your shirts.

That way they'll be worth even mor..., ah, nevermind...

Tiki_Bong,

Nope, not reincarnated, just started here recently.

Will you be selling the shirts at the Belmont Tiki Fest (8/21-22)? If so, you can sign mine.

Are you guys playing both days? I think I'm going Saturday. Hope to see you there.

Mahalo, Menehunes!

This is it folks, act now or go without. After 6:00 California time, I am not taking any more shirt orders. There is not going to be many xtra of these shirts made, so This may be your only chance to pick one up.
I will be ordering the shirts tomorrow and sending artwork for film output later this week. I will keep y'all posted as thing progress.

Chongolio

Did I beat the deadline?????

Cooooooooooool !

[ Edited by: tiki-toa on 2004-08-10 12:17 ]

Tiki-toa, Ya squeaked in. Good work.

I will be ordering shirts today and will have the shirts and film to the printer by the end of the week. Turnnaround is usually two weeks with a week for shipping.

Cheers,
Chongolio

Any word on when these will be shipping?
Just curious.

Hey all,
I wanted to give you an update on the shirts. Unfortunately, My printer had an unexpected trip to surgery for a bum appendix. She has been playing catch up for the past three weeks. So the shirts are still waiting to get inked. I hope to get the shirts back this week and ssent out as soon as I get them. Sorry for the delay, but not much one can do when body parts start goin south.

C

I spoke with the printer yesterday and she promise to have the shirts done by this Monday (the 13th of Sept.)
I will be getting in the mail as soon as I pick them up. I am very sorry about the delay, but you should all have them in time for for Hukilau.

Chongolio

The Smokin' Menehunes?
Damn! Are they still together?
