What are you reading?
The newspaper on the great news of tax rebate checks. Show me the money, now!

If you were Governor-for-a-Day, what would you focus on?

If you had 3 wishes from a genie, what would they be?
Low airfares on Hawaiian Air so that I can come home more often; a second airline from Honolulu so that the airfares will be lower; and my final wish would be a big sign at the Hawaiian Air gate at HNL Airport that reads: "Warning: $5,000 fine when K9 crew sniff out your drugs at PPG International Airport." My stupid cousin found out the hard way.

What famous person do people tell you that you most resemble?
Spanky of "The Little Rascals." Ha!

Joseph. As in Jesus, Mary and Joseph. I want to hear the life of Jesus in the carpenter's words.

Tamasese, Tuimanu'a and Mata'afa. I'm all ears about the struggle.

What is the one thing people say about you the most?
"Lanu, wake up! You can't make money being a dancer, rapper and actor." Ha!

Denny's.
