2. ...having it anyplace else
They could have it in Schnectady or Missoula and it'd still be the most continually overhyped event in the history of the planet. :eyes:

11. Hardy har har. We do have snow on the Big Island, at times
there is even a Hawaiian snow goddess, Poliahu. I always envision her as the "Maytag repairman" of deities...

We also have one skating rink on O'ahu, Ice Palace, and a joke to go with it:

K-den, these two local guys see ice fishing on ESPN2 and say, "Hey, that looks cool! Let's try it!" So there they go, out there with their ice augers and their buckets, when suddenly they hear a voice from above.

"Ho, brah! Is that the voice of God?"

"No, this is the manager of Ice Palace..."

Bear in mind, too, that at one point, the equally snow-challenged Bay Area was the center of the figure skating universe, with Brian Boitano, Debi Thomas, Rudy Galindo and others.
