Come inside! The life of the land is perpetuated by its youth. Oh and I did grow up in Waianae and one mo ting

Okay. For anyone else reading this thread, I'd better explain this little inside joke. I knew Hawaiian Guy would catch on.

"E komo mai!" does mean "come inside" ... as in "welcome" to OB.

Just pulling everyone else's leg with the rest of the message. "Ua mau ke ea o ka aina ika pono" is the state of Hawaii motto, which means "The life of the land is perpetuated in righteousness" (or rightfullness).

And the rest is gibberish ... a bunch of Hawaiian town & place names, person's names, celebrity names & fish names. The fish above is the little fish with the long name humuhumunukunukuapuaa.

Welcome to the gang. Some of the most beautiful orchids come from our Hawaii growers. I'm sure you picked up a few tricks from your Dad. You will be an asset to our forums.
