[QUOTE="Sialia, post: 279383, member: 1025"] Ok, I know I'm way overdue for a post. I've just had a hideous week of disconnectivity. Ok, so it wasn't really all that hideous. The basking on beaches and snorkeling part wasn't so bad. And the tropical birds were pretty cool. And the tour through the botanical gardens at Waimea Falls, well, I wish you were all there. We had this tram driver that barely looked old enough to have a drivers license. And the tram was pretty full and one of the passengers, who looked like he might be 16 at a generous estimate, scrambled up into the seat next to the driver and said, "Can I sit up here?" And the tram driver said, "If ya wanna give the talk." "Sure," says the kid. "I'm Mike. I just got in from Colorado last night, so I know everything." The tram driver leans over into the microphone and announces to the entire tram, "Hi, I'm your driver, Bill. And this is Mike, who's been with the park since 1975 and he's gonna give the horticultural talk today." And starts to drive. As might be expected, Mike's grasp of horticulture is a bit on the thin side, but Bill has been through the performance enough times that he's enjoying having a straight man. A typical exchange went like this: Bill: "And coming up we have the Hibiscus collection." Mike: "What's a Hibiscus?" Bill: "You know, red flower, trumpet shaped, has stamens and pistils shooting out of the center? State flower of Hawaii?" (Bill's dad's shirt, which is about 2 feet in front of Bill and facing him, is completely covered in pictures of hibiscus flowers, but he remains oblivious to my pointing helpfully at them.) Mike: "Hibiscus. Cool." Bill: "Actually, I believe [i]'rad'[/i] is the appropriate term to use when describing the hibiscus." Mike: [agreeably] "Rad." And so on. It was like watching older Dylrath and younger Dylrath having a conversation with himself. Bandeeto and I nearly split a gut. More updates to come. Thanks for waiting. [/QUOTE]
