The flowers on the side make it look Hawaiian. I know the pay phones that still exist here don't have flowers on the side.
4 words that Al said to me that blew me away:

"How's Problem Child doing?" - 7/12/11

So awesome!

Yeah but I assumed he would change his plans once the hurricanes were coming.
I still think the pay phone was in the airport though. Why else would he be sitting by a pay phone for an hour?

A roadside in Maui is a much better place to kill an hour.

To entertain his fans, obviously.

If only there was some device where you could make a call, while out, without having to rely on having loose change for a pay phone... :think:

I just had to add one more comment to the cnet article, but not before someone else jumped in. As I said before, this guy was trying to say that Al would need permission to perform his parodies at the halftime show. I told him that he wouldn't, which is why his comment starts with "incorrect". :rolleyes: There are no other comments from "Mr. Know-It-All" beyond my response to lordzedii. Not sure why I tagged myself in my response, but, oh, well.

I disagree with that. In a concert he could perform Chicken Pot Pie or It's Still Billy Joel To Me if he wanted to, but he couldn't do those songs on the Super Bowl because they're being broadcast. (Not that he would)

Okay, well, I meant the parodies that are published. Nit-picky much?
