Aloha!

Thanks John, I knew it was something to do with the Gods.
Ye gods, why do things like this pop in my head?

Wow, tv show dogs. It's amazing how many I actually can remember. Why??? I'll be 90 years old dying and I may not know anything about geology or biochemistry but I can tell you Flash was Cooters dog in Dukes of Hazzard.

Maybe the dogs were more interesting than the humans. :)

The Endless summer has a bunch of parts with surfing in Hawaii.

Well, I'm back from Hawaii.  I saw the place where they filmed the S.S. Minnow sailing out on its 3-hour tour at the beginning of GILLIGAN'S ISLAND.  I also saw the valley where they filmed parts of TEARS OF THE SUN, and the beach where they filmed some scenes for BLUE CRUSH, and the beach where they filmed the famous love scene among the waves in FROM HERE TO ETERNITY.  Do you find it strange that I just returned from 8 days in paradise, and these are the first things I mention?????

By the way, I also went to see Don Ho (those of you who are a little older will know who I'm talking about).  Anyway, if you ever go to Hawaii, skip the Don Ho show.  The guy is terrible.  He should have retired 15 years ago.  They have a poster of him in the lobby of the showroom from when he was about 30 years old.  He's 72 or 73 now and it just ain't the same.  Don, please, retire with some dignity!!!!!

I hope you had a great time, my best friend has been there twice and both times he said I'd love it. I'm glad you didn't get JAWSed at the beach.

F***ing "A" man. I'm jealous now.

Actually, THREE of Elvis' movies were set in Hawaii:

* BLUE HAWAII
* PARADISE, HAWAIIAN STYLE
* GIRLS, GIRLS, GIRLS

Yeah, that guy from the Brady Bunch Hawaii episode. :)

By the way, I also saw the building where Jack Lord is standing on the balcony during the opening credits of HAWAII-FIVE 0.  The shuttle driver was making fun of it.  He said that if you ever stood on a balcony at the top of that building you would realize that there is an almost constant wind blowing.  And Jack Lord's hair barely moved . . .
