this has probably been discussed before, but I came up a blank... so...

Today I was playing a game on my grandmothers computer where you have to find words in a grid, I saw POI so I clicked it, and it came up with a definition, however I had to think about their definition:
Written by:

POI (n.) A national food of the Hawaiins, made by baking and pounding the kalo (or taro) root, and reducing it to a thing paste, which is allowed to ferment



Thought this was kind of cool, so first we have the HoP cafe, and now we have edible poi... anyone come across this stuff before?

The edible type of poi was actually the first kind I heard aboout, I think it was in a movie or something. I've never had it though. I think its funny how two totally different things can have the same name. A food and a ball.

Don't mind me, just passing through.

Yah - I've seen that before... it's kind of a marshmellow - one has to be careful spinning it lit - it's also kind of a social feed game/ scheme... wink

I'm pretty sure this has been discussed before, but if you couldn't find anything, I'm crap at searching so I'll just give my 2 cents.

Yes, they're a food, and somewhere in the cooking/mixing/cooling/??? process, they were swung around.

i would have changed ***** to phallus, and claire to petey Petey

Rougie: but that's what I'm doing here
Arnwyn: what letting me adjust myself in your room?..don't you dare quote that on HoP...

The existance of flamethrowers says that someone, somewhere, at sometime said "I need to set that thing on fire, but it's too far away."
