    Quite right. I just came up with the set to have some values besides "Beginner," "Intermediate," and the like. I'm not even sure if the stages are really logical (Hawaiian social roles don't sit along one scale), and the qualifying points will probably be moved around depending on just how active things get here. Suggestions welcome!

    In case you're curious, here's the breakdown right now:

    Keiki: 0 posts
    Haumana: 20 posts
    Kanaka: 50 posts
    Luna: 100 posts
    Kia`aina: 200 posts
    Kumu: 400 posts
    Ali`i: 800 posts
    How about for the "MOTORMOUTHS" group:

    Ali`i Wala`au: 1200 posts

    - Loosely translated in slang, the "Outspoken Chief"

          I received a red chicklet for this post. Why? Did I translate it wrong? I did say to consult an expert. Or is someone offended about being labeled a "motor mouth"? Hey, I didn't make up that name.. Mel did!

          Of course, it was left anonymously. One of 3 reds vs. countless green gums. Mahalo to all the greeny folks out there!

              Now if I could just convince my wife that I'm Alii !
              It's hard since she truly is Adi (pronounced Andi). A Fijian Princess!

                  I've tried that. It didn't get me very far. HaHaHa!
                  She just says I'm a Keiki forever, or something close.

                        You might wanna ask the Queen to see what she says. It didn't do Prince Phillip any good, tho'!

                            Oooooh, MM, whatta nice thing to say! I wonder if Prince Phillip can say the same!

                            BTW...it still boggles my mind that she remembers me from so many years ago! Whatever she's taking for her memory, I want some!

                              Yeah, well that memory of hers has been a helpful blessing at times. I sure have to follow through on anything I say though. It's like I have an external hard drive with many Gigabytes of memory. HaHaHa!

                                I do not mind being called Keiki. It sounds real tacky and funny for a beginner like myself. But when I saw the "Hawaiian Dictionary" I did not see anything like that in there. Maybe I am wrong correct me if I am wrong.
                                Also can somebody tell me what is the word "Paki" come from. I being called all that all my life. I am NOT taking offesenily I kinda like it. I liked to be called to the Paki man or whatever. That is the Hawaiian in me.
                                Aloha
                                Maholo,
