They Don't Have Doors in Hawaii I have just moved in to my new house in Hawaii. It is Night, and I decide to go for a walk. Because I don't know my way around Hawaii, I leave the door to my house open so that I can find it later. But when I try to find my house again, the house with the open door, I find that all the houses on my block are open. I am confused. Let's see, was it the third one or the fourth one? ... or ... ... It seems they don't have doors in Hawaii. That's because it is paradise there, and also because the weather is so nice. More on this later. But back to the story ... I wander up and down the street, to and frow before the open houses. I run my fingers and my hands and feel around over Hawaii but can not find my way. Then I hear Dave Logins singing: Please come to Boston in the spring time ... Please come to Denver when the snow falls ... Please come to L.A. and live forever ... I live in a house that looks out over the ocean ... I come to a sudden drop-off in the sidewalk, and know that down, straight down, there is the ocean. I pause before a door ... no, where a door would normally be in California. it exudes warmth, the smell of sulfur, and something sweet cooking or baking. I fall down a polished lava slide down, down, down into a crater. Maybe someone down here can tell me how to get around Hawaii. A girl says can she help me. I start to ask her is she a good Leigh, when suddenly her boyfriend comes out. He's a tough, two-fisted Scotsman. Actually he use to have three fists but lost one of them in a fist fight. He INFORMS me that his name is Big Mean Mike Minced Meat Mg-gorrican. He says I don't want to mess with Big Mean Mike Minced Meat Mg-gorrican. He says he can make minced meat out of me. He says he can make poi out of me. Mike and his hot lips sassy-mouthed girlfriend live here inside the crater. And sometimes Mike takes her for a spin on his big, lava-proof surfboard. They cook their food over hot gas fissures in the floor. Nice geo-thermal stove you got there ... I wonder where Mike gets the minced meat for his volcanic minced meat pies. Midnitesun does have a theory, and I do think she is correct. So I don't ask. Then Big Mean Mike Minced Meat Mg-gorrican tells me he better not see me slinking around his door again. I think ... door? ... ... what door? ... ... He chases me up the side of the crater. He says he's going to follow me into waking life, that he's going to follow me around and "get me." Then I awake and, as Midnitesun has seem me do in the middle of the night, I pad over to the 'puter to look for e-mail. Big mike whatchacall isn't here, couldn't make it through the barrier. I utter a prayer to the mountain deiety, pele, that he will fry both Mike and his girlfriend in the next eruption. And if the lava doesn't get em, the molten magma will. SC |

I thought I had wonderful and strange dreams, but you put mine to shame. Do you sell visitor's brochures?  Thank you for this, Jaime! |

I got to thinking about this, Jaime, after I read it. I've only been to Maui...and I think they do have doors...but they leave them open alot of the time. I enjoyed your Hawaii very much! |

Laughing here, amigo. So, you bravely posted the story of Mean Mike (lava man) and his sassy-mouthed friend. LOL, the name you chose for her is hilarious! I am waiting to see how James replies to this one. By the way, I like what you did with my input to this one. GRINNING here, and know you must have 'barefoot padded' your way to that PC after midnight to get this one input. BRAVO! More, please, as this could really be a funny series. Why stop here? I want to read the next episode of: The adventures of Mean Mike and his sassy-mouthed Leigh. LOL. |
