This latest variation comes complete with a chorus line of Aggie football jocks bursting at the seams, an investigative reporter mildly reminiscent of the Rev. Billy Sol Hargas (Say Hallelujah!), and a tap-dancing guv'nah who says things like "the Jews and the A-rabs should settle matters in a Christian fashion" and "the real cause of unemployment, it's the people out of work." Given these elements, it's hard not to enjoy the show. For entertainment's sake, Whorehouse is about as close to dead solid perfect...

He's wondering whether his car will start in this cold weather. He's hoping the temperature won't drop to 20 below tonight...
Indeed, by night or day, the island's fun-and-games fulcrum is Lahaina (pronounced La-high-nah), a one-street, six-block town with the raffish aura of Virginia City cum Tijuana. Once the playground of Hawaiian royalty, and later in the 19th century a major port for whaling ships and China clippers, the clapboard community has been restored to a state of authentic tackiness.
