Pornography, literally, meant advertisememnts for prostitution, in olde Rome.

I've nefver been in one -- I'm guessing they're lkle tyhe regular Holiday Inn,
but without perks or extras.  Your complimentary breakfast is a half price
McMuffin coupon for the McDonalds across the street.

F-5 is the upper limit of the Fuji scale, I'm guessing?

One of our secretaries, Ms. Helen Hunt, has found a purse; if you've lost a
purse, you can go to Helen Hunt for it.

Somewhere cheaper?
Somewhere with widely different climate just for a change? (Raincouver,BC,
e.g.)

I've visited, accidentally, a touristy trap in SoCal in '85 -- I've done enough
of that now, so HI not high on my list of places to visit.

If I did, I'd rent a 6-bedroom house for a couple months & sublet rooms to
other vacationers by the week at a rate that'll make me some decent income & a
free vacation for me. (it'll be cheaper by the week than a Waikiki hotel is for
the night, probably)

Vacation smarter, not harder. . .

I accidentally burned my Hawaiian pizza.
Should have used aloha temperature.
