"This goes out to all the entitled rich haoles! This is what the real"ALOHA SPIRIT" feels like! Yessah."
Yesterday, animal lovers from all around the world, but mostly within the precious Hawaiian ecosystem, reacted with heat after footage emerged of an “entitled haole” throwing a large rock at an endangered monk seal on Front Street there, deep in Lahaina’s burnt-out core.
The curious and playful monk seal, endangered as all hell and often described as the jesters of the sea or their playful nature, was toying with a piece of driftwood when the tourist threw the rock, a skilful lance that either hit or came close to belting the seal in the head.
Local officials described it as “the most incriminating footage we’ve ever seen.”
Hawaiians, never known for patiently absorbing the whims of tourists, particularly the white devil, issued multiple threats online and, now, if the video below is to be believed, the tourist got his lickens, as they say.
“Lickens” — or “lickins” — is Hawaii Pidgin for a beating. Specifically, the kind delivered with hands, not words. If someone in Hawaii tells you that you deserve lickens, they are not speaking metaphorically.
Hawaii Pidgin English — more formally called Hawaii Creole English — developed on the sugar and pineapple plantations of the 19th and early 20th centuries out of pure necessity. You had Hawaiian, Japanese, Chinese, Filipino, Portuguese and Anglo-American workers who shared no common language and needed to communicate with each other and with their bosses. What emerged was a functional creole that borrowed vocabulary and structure from all of them, flattened into something everyone could roughly understand.
“Lickens” traces bac to the standard English “licking,” which has meant a beating or thrashing in American and British English since at least the early 1800s — as in “I’ll give you a good licking.”
The former tour surfer Dustin Barca summed up the mood thus,
“Pfizer gonna patent that as a cure for the most dangerous disease in Hawaii, maybe even the world… E.H.S. (Entitled Haole Syndrome).”
Some questions.
Do you like the idea of a tongue lashing made physical, did rock-thrower deserve lickens or serious lickens and do you marvel at how easy it is to rile up a population, in general

Maui boys can be a bit more chill. One kid move here years ago and is the best vibe in the water, all smiles all gratefulness and shreds. Shows respect to the locals and has been grafted in. But fuck I have meant the biggest cunts from Oahu who rate riding high performance longboards.
FREE. Fuck me cunt how stoked are you for your guys medical system. I’ll get some tubes in your stead.
Hawaiians just have a slightly different value system where things that are considered rude elsewhere are significant offenses that will get a response.
Say hi to people. Don’t give gnarly looking dudes wide space while jocking women and groms for waves. Elders are given deference and respect. Don’t do things around kids that places them in danger, like speed on a residential street when they’re out playing.
Been to Hawaii probably 10 or so times and always have a great time. Never had an issue with someone in the water.
Don’t think I do this out of the goodness of my heart. I normally look at lineups and figure out how to extract as many waves as I can at the expense of everyone else and this is just the approach I’ve figured out for Hawaii, but I also never really go to Oahu.
But you’re right there is a bit of a performative aspect with this specific incident.
Speed through a Hawaiian neighborhood and the locals will be “right there waiting for you”.
speeding through a neighbourhood with kids playing is not a problem in California>?
Oh, it can be a huge problem for the driver.
I feel obligated to once again point out that this guy is not a regular Seattle person. We tend to be overly conscientious environmentalist and get along with others.
This guy is a dickhead Russian from the shitty exurbs way outside Seattle. They control a couple industries, and are mean weird assholes generally, and also generally pussies for all of the tough guy posturing. Couple weeks ago I almost needed to to knock a Russian truck driver’s teeth out when he charged at at some children in our neighborhood who technically were not crossing at the corner on a residential street.
some small minority of them are Mafia, so you definitely do need to assess carefully before getting into it
Hawaiian people are cool! About 1% are raging angry assholes, but look at what the 99% of Hawaiians do around them. Just stay the fuck out of the way, don’t engage. And then you’re fine.
Really?
And who the fuck are you, some rude aussie, who came here and disrespected the locals? As a haole who moved to Hawaii six years ago, I can attest firsthand that there is plenty of Aloha here. I’ve been accepted into local line-ups and a few native Hawaiian families. I’ve been treated with warmth and respect, because I’m willing to extend the same courtesies to others here myself. Maybe you should give it a try, instead of acting like an entitled idiot.
Well then, you’re practically Hawaiian. lolol. You’re part of the problem which I’m sure you do mental gymnastics to avoid coming to terms with. Cognitive dissonance is a son of a bitch.
No gymnastics needed, mental or otherwise. Newsflash: people move all over the world, and have done so since time immemorial. Welcome to the human race, motherfucker.
You kicked a quokka?
Xox
My exact thought upon reading that.
Sounds like that old site trick where you line-up a bunch of Quokkas, the crew kicks them away, leaving the last one – that happens to be concreted in – for the apprentice.
As a frequent visitor to the islands I always pay attention to what pisses Hawaiians off because all this stuff just gets ignored in California. I initially thought this was worse than disrespecting an elder but better than speeding on a residential street with kids around but I might need to reassess.
So you don’t surf while in Hawaii?
I just wore a surgical shoe for six weeks and if I had to do it again I would buy a better one on Amazon because the one the Dr office gave me had a cheap Velcro strap on my ankle that didn’t keep it tight.
Here’s a pic of the one they gave me. Maybe you got a better one.

Local ER charged my wife $360 for one of those post surgical shoes when she obliterated her big toe dropping a 45lb plate on it at the gym last year. It was a piece of shit, I went on Amazon and bought one that was twice as good for $22.
USA health system is so incredibly fucked
The one I got was super cheap also. The sole has to be stiff to prevent your foot from flexing so the bone can heal. But the upper strap did not keep it tight on my foot. The Amazon ones looked way better
I didn’t want to get out of shape so I would try and walk a few hundred yards on the bike path every day with it. At least all the soccer moms took pity on me and were extra nice. I think if Strayan cunt hobbles around the local park with his daughter in tow he’ll have a new wife in no time.
.
Although the last sentence is pretty damn funny, you clearly haven’t spent any quality time in the Islands. The place abounds of Aloha but the real thing is reserved for those who show some semblance of respect for the Hawaiians, their culture and their land. Seems like maybe you aren’t in that category.
Dogsnuts gets some bum lickens!
Haha! Just last weekend!
Xox
Who are you Cuntsable?
The new account and all.
You are not new to this game.
Give us a clue cunt….
Do we know you?
Do you like spoons?
Perhaps even Black Belt Snowboarding?
So many cunts change their names on here it’s ridiculous and gets really hard to keep track of. Negs usually knows who is who but not always.
George Greenough joined the conversation.
I would love an article or discussion, about “How many times have you been to ER for self inflicted stupidity…..”
or something like that.
I started in Year 3 ( 8 years) when I walked to close to someone playing tennis and copped a full speed Tennis Raquet in my head..
You always remember your first time.
And the lawd said ” he uth who cast the 1st stone shall be pulverised by fisteth and boot and sticketh by thou…until he is dead “
new wave testament verse 69
Death by their wet flipper snaps
Coulda been worse, hit an artery or something.
I am sure you have learned your lesson…..
But Tomorrow is a New Day and there are many, MANY more stupid things to do…..
Don’t worry, I went to ER two days in a row…..
Skurfing behind my shitty 35Hp boat, and the homemade tow handle made out of a fuckn curtain rod split on one side (after many, many hours of use) and pulled and split my right hand little finger like a hotdog bun.
They fixed that. Said No more water for 4 weeks. It was fine, just the pinkie.
Next fuckn day out again with a new handle with crew, and my mates friend driving the runabout, this dickhead ran me over, and me foot hit the prop kicking to get out of the way, at the ski beach.
Split me foot between the big toe and second one, basically to the other side. Very clean, lucky wasn’t the other direction
Same weekend, same staff at ER.
Crutches for many months but could still work. A lot of internal and external stitches. Ohh to be young again and heal.
Same day, someone also skurfing in a river got hit in the head with their dingy prop and died. VERY LUCKY.
Funniest thing was, it didn’t start properly bleeding until I got to the ER, which was only 5 mins away. One of the mates that drove me there passed out and hit his head on a hospital sign when he saw it.
I got neglected ahaha
I know it sounds like bullshit, but the cunt that ran me over, had my boat for ages and said to make up for it, he would rebuild the motor.
I got my boat back a long time later, with most of the motor parts in several buckets.
I also like going to the ER at anytime with no worries, like when you chop the end of your finger off changing a large electrical motor at work
https://uploads.disquscdn.c…
In and out and back to work in 2 hours and a few stitches.
I pull out my own stitches Strayan, because it is a waste of time, and I have seen many times how the doctors do it…
Just grab some tweezers and Tug the cunts
Whoever that bruddah is who punched out the touron, I’d like to buy him a beer.
I’d like to see the rest of the pounding. He sure doesn’t look like he was stopping when the video ended.
I’ll be back on Maui next week working, and will have to make inquiries.
Drunken tourists (and some locals) used to come to Rottnest Island and play “Quokka Soccer”
Because no natural predators on the island, they have no fear of humans, so would just stand there, and the stupid cunts would run up and punt the fuck out of them because they look like massive rats.
Books got thrown…Make them never forget the time they royally fucked up hurting any animal just for fun.
No excuse for such behaviour EVER.
pity the Quokkas….and remember that Rottnest/Wadjema was a hell hole /prison for Blackfellas…….
Quokkas are the only good thing about Rottnest.
It certainly has a very dark history, and they found more bones recently away from the mass graves while building a bustop.
What was once affordable for everyone, they have turned into the most overpriced wankhole I can imagine.
Look at the all these Shitcunts at Easter….Mostly the Riviera cunts, they do the same on their runs down to Meelup. Fukn looks like AI
https://uploads.disquscdn.c…
fark……yeah looks like AI….so the boaty crew celebrate at Rotty at Easter??
Yeah mate. The moorings are not cheap either. Not too mention the cost to motor over from Freo or where ever their pen or skylift storage is.
And yeah it is not AI. It was this easter,
This is from 12 years ago, read it, some poor rich cunts have been waiting 19 years for a mooring…. Boo hooo
https://thewest.com.au/news/australia/rottnest-marina-to-ease-mooring-woes-ng-ya-368843
Gets worse EVERY YEAR, IT IS FUCKN NUTS
Nah I Paid and know own this spot in the water where my mooring is, Everyone else can FUCK OFF
It is like Snapper Rocks for Luxury Boats
Anyone else seen the media is reporting the WSL is actively looking for a partner or is being shopped for sale, and has also sold out of the Kelly wave pool.
Nope. Interesting. Netflix tried to buy WSL at some point, since they haven’t made a profit since 2012, but declined to sell.
Maybe Musk can buy it to seem cool.
He is worth $800 Billion now, on track to be the first Trillionaire by 2027. Was ONLY worth $10B 10 years ago.
He can take the hit
They’d definitely allow performance enhancing drugs if that happened
Just saw that, how insane are the numbers they are claiming! 1.3 billion consumers on social media hah. Also, 38 year old for the average fan, more like 58 I reckon https://uploads.disquscdn.c…
Not a chance in hell
Wow
