He's being respectably reserved about his reporting. Even Hoike doesn't tell the whole story of what went on during recesses, etc. You had to be there from 9am to 1:40am the next day to get the whole story.Mauibradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16759237357642699345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-92095113829619712582009-07-24T12:40:03.588-10:002009-07-24T12:40:03.588-10:00"I put the truck in four-wheel-drive and push..."I put the truck in four-wheel-drive and push the Jeep out of the way and the kids are in the back and one of the boys starts yelling, ‘fucking haoles!’ as we drive away.”<br /><br />That's so cute awww what nice little boysAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-17068287564726686532009-07-24T12:03:20.155-10:002009-07-24T12:03:20.155-10:00Joan said; "with Michael Levine today reporti...Joan said; "with Michael Levine today reporting more of the sordid details for those of us lacking the stomach to sit through 11 hours of it on TV."<br /><br />Levine does a good job but it is like a review of a horror show and nowhere near as enjoyable as seeing the show itself in person if possible or as a poorly produced rerun on Hoike if not. <br /><br />I guess not everyone enjoys free horror shows like me. Well I guess they are not really free since we as taxpayers pay for it, but at least I got me monies worth. <br /><br />Kudos to Levine for his iron-ass review of this extremely long play. <br /><br />Not quite Waiting for Godot but more Kafkaesque as the apparent hopelessness and absurdity of the work is not for the faint of heart nor weak of stomach. Can't say I enjoyed the conclusion and am really looking forward to the sequel(s).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-42266228889573527982009-07-24T08:07:57.913-10:002009-07-24T08:07:57.913-10:00"I put the truck in four-wheel-drive and push..."I put the truck in four-wheel-drive and push the Jeep out of the way and the kids are in the back and one of the boys starts yelling, ‘fucking haoles!’ as we drive away.”<br /><br />Hahahaha........ That's classic!<br />That said I'm sure some politically correct sensitive souls would call it racist. It's not its comedy at it;s best. Lenny Bruce, George Carlin and Bill Hicks would put it in the stand up acts. RIPAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
