Hawaiian Mullet Hunt: Operation 'Hang-Loose'



So we really wanted to explore the inner-workings of the mullet culture here in the islands. We were really confused about where to look for this somewhat reclusive creature. We have only seen one trailer park so far near Honolulu and I couldn't remember where it was and Google Maps couldn't find it either. We went to the next best place to find mullets, The Swap Meet. Every Saturday there is a huge swap meet at Aloha Stadium. You can see a picture above. At first I became discouraged, then I decided to try harder to fit in with the locals. I found an "Agua de Coco" and a Tupac T-shirt.



Not five minutes after discovering this Tupac shirt I encountered the mullet you see below.



Notice the smooth plumage and old-school Oakley sunglasses and the wanna-be police officer mustache. This guy was getting wild and crazy by the women hand-bags table. He got a little aggressive and I had to keep my distance. It was a little scary. I bought some hand-carved souvenirs and made sure my wife was safe. Next we got in the car and went to a place called "Killer Tacos".
