“What’s that thing?” asked Doug’s girlfriend.
“A model of the planet Aloha.”
“Aloha?”
“Yeah, it’s where my sci-fi novel happens. It’s a world where evil surfers enslave young girls on pineapple plantations. Sort of like Hawaii.”
“Sounds dark and . . . gnarly.”
“There’s romance too. A hula girl falls for an old submarine captain and he rescues her from the surfers.”
“How could an old guy defeat all those young buff surfers?”
“He has a laser-guided Frisbee loaded with toxic poi.”
“That reminds me. Are you coming to the luau tonight?”
“Can’t. Too many Friday Fictioneer stories to read.”
Poi, oh, Poi, what an imagination. But I believe Doug could overcome any and all surfers by stealth and cunning. 🙂
Ffnar, ffnar…although, this really doesn’t seem so fictional!
😉 Did I tell you I have a new alter-ego? http://stepbackfromtheedge.wordpress.com/
Ooo, a laser guided frisbee! Nice touch. He should leave the reading for a bit and go to the party.
Oh Ron…I laughed out loud like a little school girl after reading this lol…very clever. Love love love it. Very nicely done
Enjoyed that! Great to know you are so busy with FF.

Don’t miss the luau on my account just because I go hundreds of words over the limit. Fun use of the prompt!
Ron,
A good fun read dude.
Tom
Ha, good one! I laughed and laughed. Oh, and you sneaked the laser-guided frisbee with toxic poi. That’s my favorite part.
I Loved it!! 😀 I’m a big Sci-Fi fan and naturally enjoyed the read – And, your story really made me laugh! Really good job! 🙂
Oh, what a fun read…garnered lots of chuckles. Forget about the stories…go to the party.
Thanks for starting my day with a smile Ron, nice one.
Funny, Ron! Very good indeed. I read it aloud to my husband too, who had a good laugh. I hope Doug isn’t having trouble with all these multiple personalities.
Dear Ron,
I laughed out loud. Personally I’m up for the luau. Toxic poi? Planet Aloha? Classic. Love it! Loved it!
shalom,
Rochelle
What a unique and fun read!
Nice homage to Doug and his great photo–and a writing theme, too! Great job.

Doug is quite the celebrity this week.
Very clever and amusing. Loved this piece!
Aloha! 🙂
Totally gnarly, dude.
Sounds like an interesting planet (and an interesting idea, to make a model of the planet we’re imagining when we write). Good one.
surfer dudes and hula girls? toxic poi? Ok, where do I sign up! Really fun read! 🙂
I think Dr. Douglas need some henchmen and I’m here to sign up. Someone needs to look after the girls while he’s busy defeating those buff young surfers.
I am waiting eagerly for that novel. I loved this. 🙂
Where can I get a laser guided frisbee? Wonderful!
Wonderful story.
This was pretty damn good… You know Doug well.
you’re right, lots to read for sure. i mean “fer shur.” well done incorporating a few personal pokes in there too. i’m sure he appreciated it.
Dear Ron,
Me thinks you’ve been partaking of too much toxic poi. I got a great laugh out of this story and bid you a fond farewell from the planet Aloha.
Sincerely, still giggling,
Doug
Hi Doug,
Thanks for being a good sport!
Ron
Very funny!
haha, poor Doug is getting all the jokes this week – I’m not surprised he liked this one though; nice bit of lighthearted fun for a morning read!
