HAWAIIAN LUAU:  This being a rather dusty stretch of Texas, a luau seems out of place, but down in Los Libidos, the students at Bedspring Tech put one on anyway.  It was a great success, if various overindulgences and arrests are taken as criteria.  Trouble is, the event was billed as a Hawaiian luau, so of course, no one from the Institute for the Linguistically Impaired attended.  We have our standards.

The word luau exists only in Hawaiian.  Saying Hawaiian luau is to commit the same redundancy as saying Jewish seder or German Oktoberfest.  Or dancing the Hawaiian hula.

At least the collegiate hula dancers spelled everything right.  A couple of years ago, a group up in Deer Crossing put up a big sign by the road advertising a laua.
