Alright! I'm already much better than Sol Hoopii...

...at eating pie.

I'm gonna take this new obsession to PM on the ensuing questions, Mr. Bong; but before that I have a few itty-bitty queries.

Where should I get my slide bar?
Hawai'ian style - right?

Could you suggest a few of your "learning curve" favorites? I'd like to get the CD's or albums and start hacking about.

And one last question...

...would you help me invent a drink called
"Hawai'ian Steel"?

I think we could probably win the next Tiki Central drink contest. Even though you shuddered at the thought of the Banana Rum Split, (which truly is a spectacular nod to that oft-maligned fruit), I'm an excellent mixologist and The Amber Love Goddess was a premier bartender when I swept her off her tiny feet 7 years ago.

I'm thinking - keep the "sure to be won" trophy at The Bong Hut the first year and then move it to the Lagoon Lounge(™ AlnShelly Productions), the second year and so on.

Right now - I'm enjoying 2 ounces of Cruzan Single Barrell, an ounce of fresh lime juice, a half ounce of pineapple juice, a teaspoon of Tupelo honey, a dash of Pernod and a splash of homemade falernum. And as always: fresh mint. I have no name for it but it's slighty reminiscent of Jeff Berry's transcription of the Erawan Garden Hotel's Planter's Rum Punch, which is a truly magnificent recipe.

Thanks again and even though I am
He ma'uka'uka hoe hewa;
...let us
Ho'okahi ka 'ilau like ana.

See you in PM.
