Top 10 (good and bad) Hawaii Moments 1985-1986

10. Remembering ten years later that I did "upside-downer" kamikaze's on my second to last night in HI.

9. Getting jumped by a bunch of fuckers on the way to a club while at the same time a dude hit a chick with his moped. Lots of bad energy that night.

8. The Thing (a guy with one large gross dread, looked like it came out of a play-dough pumper).

7. Bill the cat going into heat and climbing up to the top of our apartment building and yowling. Eric scaled up the wall like freaking Spiderman and retrieved her.

6. Guinness and Fig-Newtons at the Rose and Crown Pub. By the time we got off work at The Photo Stores we were literally craving Guinness. It was our sustenance.


5. Thanksgiving with Jenny, her sister and some Marines friends. Got totally plotzed on rum and those Safeway beers with the puzzles on the inside of the lids.

4. Seeing the band War with Jenny at some little club by the Honolulu airport. They totally kicked ass!

3. Finding a 10" in diameter cane-spider on our couch one night. No exaggeration! 

2. Rob, Kirsten and I drinking and smoking to the point where we had the giggles so bad we almost started crying...like with real emotion. Then Rob called the local department store and in his best stoned surfer voice asked if they had and could deliver a "Twister" game to our apartment.

1. Eric passing out in the bathroom in a pool of vomit, his pants down (butt showing), with a goofy grin and............holding a spatula.
