Here's an example!

Random Hawaiian Gaian

Question: If you're from Hawaii, how did you get access to a computer?

Answer: -_- Everyone has one? Because we live in a modern-day society with buildings and technology and the like, just like everyone else in the United States?!

Yep ^^ So have fun with it! This forum is more for the guild members actually from Hawaii, so you other guys not from here might not get it... sweatdrop

Stupid Question from Tourists:
Tourist: How do you get to Wai'ale'ale peak (as seen on Lilo & Stitch the Series)?
Local person: Wai'ale'ale is really steep and cannot be driven up to. Plus only helicopters can bring you up there.
Tourist: Oh. Well how do I get to Kokaua town (Town Lilo and Stitch live in)?
Hawaiian: There is no town named Kokaua town on Kauai. And there is no museum on Kauai either or a giant pineapple water tower. Kokaua isn't an actual Hawaiian name either.
Tourist: But then what about all the stuff mentioned in Lilo and Stitch?
Hawaiian: Lilo and Stitch is placed on Kauai but only two area's are properly named; Kilauea Lighthouse and Wai'ale'ale everything else is completely made up.
Tourist: Okay! Mahalo! That means good bye right?
Hawaiian: *Sigh* stare it means thank you. Aloha is good bye.
Tourist: but I though it means hello?
Hawaiian: It means both. I'm going.

Person: So do you, like, wear grass skirts and stuff? Like traditional Hawaiians?

Hawaiian: stressed NO. You know what? I wear jeans, like a normal person. And you know what else?! The real Hawaiians didn't wear grass skirts! The men wore loin cloth and the women wore skirts and no tops!!! >.<

Person: ... was it a grass skirt?

Hawaiian: o_e ...no... *...must...resist...urge to...beat...up...*

Tourist: (stepping off the plane) HEY stressed ! Where's my complementary Lei?
Worker: dude this isn't the 1950's anymore.
Tourist: So? I want a Lei!
Worker: There's a gift shop right in the airport, go get one yourself.

i've been asked this too, but since i really am hawaiian it was really hard for my mainland friends to understand.

Me: yes i'm hawaiian, but i'm not hawaiian just because i was born in hawaii. i'm hawaiian because my ancestors were the first people to come to hawaii.
friends: oh, so if my ancestors were the first ppl to come to New York, then does that make me a new york-ian?
me: stare no. you're latino because your ancestors were the people who first settled in mexico. my blood is hawaiian like your blood is mexican
friend: *slightly confused look* oh... OK 4laugh !
me: you don't really get it do you?
friends: NOPE lol !
me: whatev!

Okay, so this is me trying to have a conversation on a thread.

Person: Oh, I live in Canada.
Me: I live in Hawaii?
Person: Do you dance hula?
Me: Yeah, actually.
Random Guy: Hula girls are hot.
Me: Must. Resist. Urge. To. Kill. Retarded. Idiot.

I hate that so much.
