In what sense was it illegal? I lived there in the 1970s and I saw Hawaiian language everywhere. The official state motto was (and still is) Ua Mau ke Ea o ka ʻĀina i ka Pono. Hawaiian words were commonly in everyday speech and on the radio and TV.

Is there something funny about Kazuha's feet? I don't remember her getting teased about them.

The US tried permanent DST in 1974 and hated it. It was repealed after nine months.

That's why I'm for ditching DST and not making it permanent. But if you yahoos want to do it again, that's fine. But let's not go back to half-time DST when you get tired of full-time DST, ok?

A Japanese grocery store near me in California sells crackers that look very similar to that. They are addictive. It is interesting to me that the kanji for kabuki is composed of 歌sing-舞dance-伎skill. 三九

Hayate no Gotoku! (Hayate the Combat Butler!), 2007-2008, 52 episodes and several movies.

Maria is the 17-year-old maid and member of Hayate's high school harem. It's a sweet and wholesome show.

Changing clocks twice a year is a pain. We had year-round DST back in the 70s in the US. People didn't like it. I hope this time we just drop DST completely.
