Y'all can be singular or plural. I worked with a woman that met her husband on a beach in Florida. He grew up in Alabama.
She was with two friends and he walks up and asked "Y'all want to go out to dinner with me?"
They looked at him and said "All three of us?"
His response was to point at her and say "not y'all, just y'all"
Until other southerners chime in, it sounds like it was more of a nice save by the husband after his initial plan was shot down

When I was fishing in Oh Canada! we witnessed a loon catch a fish, and another loon trying to take it away from him (I'm assuming Him). The one with the fish would duck under the water and swim maybe 100', while the chaser would run/flap across the top of the water after him. I'll bet they were at it for 400 yards before the first one got enough space to get the fish eaten. Pretty entertaining.

Thanks for making it silent. That is a woman that if I ever would have dated, I would have paid the bill, called her a taxi and left the date after she laughed the second time. (I would have been polite to see if it was her regular one the first time)

@cyrocksmypants Do you know of any cool ways to get from HNL to OGG? Like a low altitude flight or helicopter ride? Hell even a cool boat?

I see a bunch of helicopter tours and I've contacted them for a charter but that'll probably be out of my price range. My research shows me $2000/hr roughly :eek:

There used to be an airline called IslandAir that did low altitude flights between the two but they ceased operations 9 months ago.

These are my seats guys. I love my job some days.

This would be my 15yr old’s dream come true. Not sure what other 15yr old girl’s dream about, pretty sure most don’t dream of sitting behind home plate at Busch Stadium. I need to get her a new Yadi t-shirt, she has already worn through two. She probably wears it at least once a week all year round.

Did the Great ISF yesterday. We love going once a year, try to do it all in one day. Didn’t eat nearly enough fried foods. Once again Iowa State’s display in the VI building was far superior to that other place. If anyone follows Iowa Pork on social media there may have been a picture of our two youngest in pig ears. While we were in the animal learning center a goat was trying to give birth. Things were not going well, didn’t see how it ended because they moved momma out and quit the live feed. Thinking it did not end well. :( The two oldest girls were so excited for Hairball (80’s tribute band from MN) on the free stage last night. It was the 4th Hairball concert for the oldest. It had started raining about 6pm. The concert started at 8 and they made it through 75min in the pouring rain before they decided it would be best not to electrocute any of the band members. I was the lucky parent who got to stay and stand in the rain with them. They music was great but we were all cold and soaked by the time it ended.

Proud mom moment. Recovered remains from a USMC Pfc from the battle of Tarawa in WWII. One of the saddest duties an officer can perform.

I don’t think you’re going to have much of an option outside of private charter, which would be a fortune. And I believe Hawaiian air is all that’s left is Island is gone. Pretty sure Aloha got bought out by Island. Does Virgin have anything?

I just don’t see any cheap options. Plus, it’s further than you think. It’s an hourish in a plane.
