Re: $25 if you name my cat
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] Or Menehune, which you can shorten to sound like "Men-ay." It's the Hawaiian equivalent of an especially mischievious leprechaun, known for making the engine in your car fail on the Old Pali road until you throw some pork out, at which point your engine magically can start again. Spirited and mischievious, just like a cat! [/ QUOTE ] Kamapua'a, a minor deity who can take on the form of a boar is the one who causes havok on the pali. supposedly, one of his residences is upper Nuuanu valley (which old pali road runs through), and he has an understandable hatred of people who carry pork through his home. [/ QUOTE ] Cool. I grew up in Hawaii and didn't even know that. Everyone always just said it was the menehunes. The superstition is amazingly strong about cars stopping on the old Pali road, with kind of an ominous feel. I'm surprised nobody ever, in all the billion times I've heard it talked about, spoke of this legend being the result of anything but menehunes. |
