Can you name these okoles?
For those who don't know okole in Hawaiian means bottom, more specifically butt as in buttocks. In Samoan we say muli, in Japanese it's an oshiri, in Spanish it's trasero though many of us use the offensive slang word culo, however it's evolved to kulu in Hawaii. There are other terms of endearment for the derriere like booty, badonkadonk, trunk as in junk-in-the, apple bottom, and the straight forward -- ass!
Can you name the okoles in the photo? Please note, this is my blog your asinine comment may be deleted. :)

North Shore of Oahu
Last week the waves were reaching 30+ feet again on Oahu's North Shore. The beaches were "closed" but it doesn't stop the determined surfers with the skills to paddle out and take the drop. Here are some photos of our day earlier this month at Waimea Bay through Kahuku with a breathtaking stop at Laie Point.

Auction begins in January 2010, so you have time to gather up your rolls of...wait, bricks of millions! A home that Cher funded, but never lived in is hoping to sell for only $8 - $12 million.

HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - Hundreds of kids from across Hawaii packed the Blaisdell with their very best robots.They competed in the first Lego League Champions. All of them worked for months to build a battery based robot that could pick up loops, knock down walls and were run by a light sensor. The winners this year are the "Blue Punabots," an independent team that is made of students from Punahou and other area schools.
Artists from around the world, converve on the southern Australian town of Frankston to take part in the annual sand sculpting exhibition. 19 sculptors are putting the finishing touches, on 280 truck-loads of sand that were brought in especially for the event. Apart from water, nothing is added to the sand other than some sealant spray on the smaller pieces.
And postmen in South Korea are in the holiday spirit. 40 of them dressed up as Santa and jumped on scooters to deliver gifts and cards to poor children and their families. The Seoul post office says the event started four years ago and continues because they're happy to share some joy with the less fortunate.
