Biba Manamko!

Guam is, at least according to the Chamorro (aka Guamanians to all you haoles out there), "Where America's Day Begins." I suppose it's true. The day starts 18 hours earlier there than it does in the Midwest. Which results in some major weirdness when you're from the mainland and you move there. But you eventually get used to things like "SuperBowl Monday". All the businesses are closed and most people take the day off to get drunk and watch the game. By half-time, it's not even noon.

Every May, the Chamorro celebrate Biba Manamko Week. Biba Manamko means "Long Live Our Elders." On Guam, it's cool to get old.

That's why I'm dedicating this post to Brett Favre. Biba Manamko, dude! And may you make it to SuperBowl Monday, 2009.
