Apparently it's a very Catholic island. Sunday is a very quiet day. Per capita, men from AS volunteer for the US military service in very high numbers.

Movie night at the Early Methodist
mmm pfree poptorn We've seen "Men in Black" at least 10 times. Every time from #3 or so, my wife has to ask," Have I seen this before?". Sometimes we lie. A fair amount of Somoans in AK. Some of them are nice people, some are in the news fairly often.

Got in a fight with one in HS. I was holding my own until about three ‘bruddus’ jumped in to help him out. Got some cracked ribs out of it for my efforts. These days they might kill you.
Yours in Liberty,

A friend has his business broken into frequently by Samoans.
Car paintshop got hit by a bunch of them... they knew they were Samoan because they found an 8X hoodie.
Mark Begich, Joaquin Jackson, and Heller resistance... Three huge reasons to worry about the NRA.

Little known history trivia fact. Kanakas (Pacific Islanders from everywhere) were a pretty significant labor force on the west coast from the get go. They were highly regarded as seamen, about twice as powerful as the average hand, some say they had incredible upper body strength from generations of paddling sea going canoes. They were scattered all over the west coast at the time the gold rush started in 1849. Some became successful miners in there own right. Many place names bear testimony to this day. For many years the local Injun tribes denied being a product of Kanaka and Chinese blood. Old photographs from historical mining archives were denied as authentic, but even the most casual look shows the pureblood Injuns in the 1850's as a diminutive people, and as the years progressed the photos showed the Polynesian genes. Huge barrel like torsos and heavy musculature in the Kanaka mold, in the case of the Chinese blood, still diminutive people but with pronounced slant eyes and epicanthic fold appeared. Then along came affordable genetic testing...oops, so much for pure Injun blood.
Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.

They were chocolate brown, about "4 feet nothing" tall, and built like a fireplug. I haven't known any of them personally, but guys from AS have occasionally attended mainland colleges on football scholarships. They're BIG, mainly playing as linemen. what about the "throwin samoan"

Any fine campfire folk from here?
Our chocolate lab once told us she'd like to visit there someday. Not I but I like their cookies. We always buy some from the girl scouts. But first I ask 'em, " do you have Samoans in a box?" Well, ya better let 'em out!

Rugby is a very big thing down there, at least in Fiji and Tonga. That would be a battle of the titans! Lots of huge guys in Tonga, truly fill a doorway huge! Samoa, not far from American Samoa, is also an interesting place with lots of very friendly people and decent beaches.
