    Seeing the thread where a few people were complaining about a certain hispanic person's style of posting, I wanted to take a moment to do just the opposite and say how much I enjoy Lawai's posts.

    He's got some amazing stories and a wealth of real world knowledge. Never see him get mad.

    Lawai, I don't care what Denny says, it's nice to have you posting in the OT section.

    Go Blazers!

    I've noticed a few Hawaiians on Deadliest Catch, seems to me if you grew up in a paradise, Alaska would be just about the worst place you could go. Is it the money? Love of the sea and fishing?

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    I think lawai'a was the one who told me that you don't put an okina in "Hawaiian," as you do with "Hawai'i."

    So for that I shall always hold him in high regard. I'm sure that's saved me committing countless faux pas.

    People about complaining a person's style of posting, eh? That's freaking lame.

    I also enjoy Lawai's posts. @lawai'a keep on posting, buddy!

    not a lot of good paying job opportunities in rural Hawaii. fishing is a huge part of the culture here still though, o'ihi kai, great respect for the ocean. ps we never go fishing here just holo holo, messing around cause if Kula Kai hears you'll bolo head every time

    the years I lived in Hilo, I had many friends who worked the Alaskan fishing circuit in the summer and chilled at home all winter....and met quite a few Alaskans that did pretty much the same...

    Kona side has more than a few of the Alaskan snowbirds with a Russian potluck in the winter, fair number of folks from Kodiak where we lived and fished from though I don't stay in touch.
    Hawaii an island where the planes fly everyday and the ocean isn't always mad at you. certainly paradise to me compared to Kodiak. alaska is for the young.

    Sly's sucking up to get free accommodations for his next Hawaii visit. I live in Oregon City and never once has he complimented my posts. Man, this is the oldest incorporated city west of the Rockies. You'd think he'd love to visit, but NOOOOO!

    I want to agree with Sly's appreciation of lawai'a, and broaden it to anyone else who has lived an interesting life and gives us a bit of color about it. MarAzul is an obvious member of that club, but there are several others.

    Way to go, Sly. Insult me in the first post.

    I do like his/her posts. We're fellow Hawaiians.

    How was that an insult?

    But mentioning you was the only way to get you to participate in the thread and say something nice about him.

    Also for the record the first person I've ever created an appreciation thread about was you.

    Please don't mention me in threads with backhanded "compliments."
