- I have some friends who are collectively known as the "Waimanalo Party
- Boys from Hell", for the obvious reason that they periodically throw
- huge parties at their house out in Waimanalo. (Small town on the Windward
- side of Oahu, for those who care.)
-
- Over the years, their friends have learned that it really isn't necessary
- to put any specific address on mail sent to this household, and have
- stopped doing so, especially when sending postcards. Thus they have received
- (for instance) a postcard from Paris addressed only to "Faggot Pervert Hippy
- Scumballs, Waimanalo, Hawaii", or from India addressed to "Party Boys
- _Not Faggots!!!_, Waimanalo, Hawaii." In fact, if you put virtually anything
- weird in the addressee or address, and follow it with the words "Waimanalo,
- Hawaii", they will get it, usually with a pencilled note attached: "try
- xxx-xx Hihimanu Street."
-
- I'm not sure why this makes me feel so good, except perhaps that it's
- nice to know that there are still some areas in modern society where
- human judgement intervenes.
