@Chris:

Many years ago, when I was in high school and working at Wendy's, a coworker did this by mistake afterhours while cleaning the iced tea dispensers.  We had to evacuate the building for a bit, to let the fumes dissipate, but the dispensers were the cleanest I've ever seen.

Unfortunately I do not believe it had a similar effect on the combatants.

Just handed in my two weeks at the brewery I work for to pursue a new opportunity that fell in my lap while I was visiting a friend in Kona, Hawaii.  Lot's of bittersweet feelings, but I couldn't be more excited for the new gig…

Gonna be helping a much smaller and newer place up their beer game in serious way...

Which one?.. I only know Kona…

Congrats, @emceeQ

[UnTucked]

Damn that sounds awesome! Congrats, bro!
*That means the jacket will make a tour through Hawai'i!

Not to mention, you and @RoxRocks86 will be "neighbors"!

Ola Brew Co.  It’s actually just a block or so from Kona’s tap room.  Only been open 6-8 months so far, so it’s super new…

And thanks all!...

Is this a Hawaiian thing, or are they just really bad at picking an original name for their breweries… 

[tvenuto]

If I’m not mistaken their native tongue has a limited number of vowels and consonants. So I’d say it’s probably a consequence of that.

Five vowels, eight consonants in the modern Hawaiian alphabet.  It makes for a lot of similar looking, but very melodic sounding, words.

But most importantly, congratulations, Mike!  That sounds like an intriguing opportunity and a massive life change.  I'll be looking forward to your updates on it all.

Hence, Hawai'i's state fish… The humuhumunukunukuapua'a

It looks as if the fish is practising saying its own name…

After wearing my PBJ’s last night I’ve decided that I’m just an iron heart Guy. I got used to a certain feel and quality that I can’t find anywhere else but Iron Heart. The PBJ are very nice and I will wear them… just not as happily as I wear my IH jeans.

IH has definitely ruined pretty much every other brand around…nothing against other brands, just speaks to the incredible quality of IH 

[Matty123]

It’s easy to say….With some practice. Or you can just call it a Humu or a trigger fish.

I absolutely love PBJ's denims, but their fits are not so great for my body type…

I've said many times that PBJ denim in an IH cut would be an absolute no-brainer for me
