Original comment!

Borderline proper use of the irony tag. I can't be outraged, but I don't feel entirely satisfied either.

My favorite brand of poi

Why don't we just do away with the Ironic tag?

Oh, I know the reason. God hates me.

And what the hell is wrong with solidsevn over there? I would comment on his proofreading skills ("sametime") and his dream situation...but that glare scares me.

What about hoi? Is there enough of that?
/oh, wait, it's hoi polloi

Sounds like a Golden Opportunity for Gerber!

Sidi "When Godzilla is in the middle of heated battle" just has this weird ring to it, too.

Saranac I guess he has some weird fetish about asians being stepped on. So he either needs a really, really subservient asian girl or to stay way the fark away from the rest of society. Oh, that's right, he's doing an internet personal, he's already in the second category.

Have your orgasm now.

He just gets creepier if you check the profile.

Last great book I read

kiss me judus-will baer
a paranoid psycho noir about a stolen kidney-a hitwomen-and a hallucinating x-cop

Damn i feel bad

without poi gravity wouldn't exist.

Sidi Thanks for convincing me to never click on a Fark Personal. Ever. You think "lazers" is supposed to be "layers" or "lasers" or "razers?" Or "razors," even.

DerekSD I'm glad someone figured out that stupid gravity problem.

It was pissing me off that no one had figured out what the hell was behind the most obvious physical rule of the universe.

Solidsven has "Blue Steel" nailed!

no serious sidi.

duct tape?
bailing wire?

aofhaofuoawfafyoqweu!

poi is the adhesive of the ages!

Saranac must be one of those mordern haiku where they show the futility of existence by abandoning structural rules and traditions to show their independent thoughts.

5.7 million pounds of taro last year? Isn't that enough to keep the hawaiians in poi for at least two or three years? Good lord, how much poi does one need? There aren't that many people in Hawaii.

Zerkalo, don't be daft... that's obviously Le Tigre.

Sidi Or it could be that it's 4 in the morning and I can't friggin' count syllables. And whoever said Blue Steel, ya hit the nail on pretty-but-vacant head.

Migueldelascervezas there are over a million residents of Hawaii, so that's only 5 pounds each per year...I'm guessing most people eat that much dirt in a year from the little bits on all their food.

But the real secret is that they're feeding it to all the gullible tourists. No one really likes poi...they just trick the out-of-towners into eating it...it's like Broadway musicals.

i like SPAM and so does hawaii.

It's the fault of the hoi polloi.

I blame the bubble tea drinkers.

What is the point of inflection of f(x)?

The world is a horrible place.

If poi went extinct, I would so not cry. It's disgusting.

Poi = the Hawai'ian answer to haggis.

If they genetically modified it, none of this would happen.

You just can't stuff like this up

I'll trade them taro for Maui Wowie

I hear there's no shortage of goi in Hawai'i though. oy!

Nice one, Zerkalo

There's a shortage of poi, son?

Never tried this stuff, does it taste like cheese?

you dumb tourists... i used to live there, visit all the time. poi is really damn good, all you have to do is add a bit of sugar. or salt. kind of like how no one likes cheerios until you dump a bunch of sugar on top. see, when they give it to you straight up, you don't like it, so... more for them. seems obvious to me.

Poi kicks ass. It does taste funny at first, but it grows on you. Mmm.

And Spam? Spam musubis rock.

Hey nickypoo, I used to live there too and poi tastes like vomit. They grade it by how many fingers it sticks to in the making. i.e 2 finger poi, 3 finger poi, ect. Real hygenic, on top of being gross.

I've been reading Fark too long. I thought it said "Pot is in short supply in Hawaii" ... Y'know, because Fark posts about pot a lot.

I'm with you, Trapezoid. I was about to post a photo of Dave Chapelle captioned "Maui Wowie!"
