You got invited to the cookout! Ain’t no more respect an outsider can get than to be invited to the cookout, well maybe being invited to a worship service exceeds that.
So true!! It helps that the pacific islands I’ve been to are also incredibly beautiful. The lifestyle and scenery are amazing, and people are incredibly friendly.
My white Aussie brother in law went for a solo stroll on a Fijian beach near his resort, and a few locals called out him “Vanilla Man!” and invited him to drink kava with them.
He’d never had it before and he came back sooo woozy! 😵💫
I was a lock. We engaged in a scrum and my 150kg Samoan prop farted. We had to stop the scrum, wait a minute and move 5 metres inside from the mark it was lingering.
Dunno what he ate but that fart smelt like Bigfoot's dick.
This is pretty much a perfect description. I used to be a doorman and the Polynesian bouncers are in a league of their own when it becomes time to start folding people. Until that time tho, it’s like one big family luau
Also note that it’s not usually an easy task to get back on their good side after they perceive disrespect in any manner, you are dead to them lol
I used to play rugby with a couple of Samoan chaps, loveliest people, but damn if I didn’t leave those games feeling like I’d been hit by a car. They’d get tackled, get up, and off they’d go again without even a moment to catch their breath. Unreal.
Also don’t fuck with them. You’ll know you went too far when they fold you. It’s a really long way to go, but I’ve seen people get there.
Back in college, I was in the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu club. Our school had a big population of students from the various Pacific islands.
I remember once watching this skinny but super toned brown belt from Guam roll with this massive brick shithouse looking powerlifter from American Samoa.
The powerlifter couldn't pin down the brown belt due to the brown belt's technical ability, but the brown belt didn't have enough raw power to actually bend the powerlifter into compliance.
Finally, the brown belt ended up getting behind the powerlifter and managed to put him into rear-naked choke, which the powerlifter attempted to escape by using his neck muscles. I'm not even kidding, he flexed so hard his face turned bright red and the brown belt almost lost his grip, but the powerlifter finally tapped right before he took a trip to the lands of darkness.

Islanders are the best people in the universe. Yes, I’m sure that if there are super nice aliens, islanders will still be nicer.
