“Aloha” means a million things in Hawaiian.

As a matter of fact, I think it’s the only word in the Hawaiian dictionary.

From “welcome home” to “kiss my ass” it’s all in the intonation.

I really wish those hula dancing bastards would expand their vocabulary a bit. Between the “Aloha Spirit” bullshit (What does that mean anyway?), and that goddamn “hang loose” sign they make every 5 seconds that makes it look like they have some unfortunate bout of Tourette’s Syndrome … they can be downright annoying.

And why do the dudes call each other “bra”? Do the women call each other “jockstrap”?

I’ll never figure those motherfuckers out.

Anyway … this week, “Aloha” takes on yet a new definition … “Holy Shit, we’re completely screwed, file for bankruptcy before we have to pay these damn creditors”.

Aloha Airlines will cease service to Las Vegas after tomorrow (Monday).

Actually, they will cease service to everywhere starting tomorrow.

They were actually a major carrier into Vegas, and very important to the Downtown casinos that catered heavily to residents of the island state … such as the Californian Hotel and Casino near Fremont Street.

This bankruptcy of the airline is actually somewhat of a big deal, and may have some noticeable effect on travel.

There are still two other airlines that service the market, but apparently they aren’t doing terribly well due to rising fuel prices.

Hang loose, bra … and start selling more coconuts.

Airfare is about to go up.
