- "A Reminiscence by Walt Harned
- "
- "My journey began with a hitched ride
- "on a sampan out of Singapore. I had
- "to share quarters with six chickens
- "and a disgruntled warthog. I've
- "never forgiven those chickens.

- "THE VILLAGE OF THE DARNED
- "
- "Our first stop was the quaint village
- "of Tofu. The chief welcomed me with
- "open arms and invited me to share his
- "hut with him and his five wives. I
- "was able to escape a week later, but
- "to this day cannot bear the sight of
- "overripe mangoes.

- "PRETTY GULLS ALL IN A ROW
- "
- "It was on the isle of Parkay that I
- "began my lifelong feud with gulls.
- "They are lovely, graceful sea birds
- "who bring life to an azure sky, music
- "to a still South Pacific evening, and
- "a white, fetid crust to the pate of
- "any human walking on the beach.

- "THE DAWN OF THE MALTESE PARROT
- "
- "Ahab was the name I gave my pet
- "parrot who constantly perched on my
- "shoulder. I taught him to talk and
- "he repaid me by telling Customs about
- "the harmless contraband I had in my
- "knapsack. Later, in jail, I found
- "that he also had excellent taste.

- "THE DAZE OF THE DOLPHIN
- "
- "It was on the island of Spumoni that
- "I linked up with a dolphin who taught
- "me his language. He wanted to be
- "taken to the Cetology Lab at Stanford
- "but I told him he could have a larger
- "influence on mankind if he went to
- "Hollywood. I really liked Flipper.

- "THE TIMES OF THE TURKEYFISH
- "
- "I met Dr. Moreau on an island due
- "south of Huzzanga. He was experi-
- "menting with combining life forms and
- "I, famished from my travels,
- "suggested mixing ham and turkey. No
- "pigs were available but now the reefs
- "are covered with turkeyfish. Mmmmm.

- "THE SEAL AND THE SHARK
- "
- "I was scuba diving off Slikwili Atoll
- "when I spied a seal hiding from a
- "deadly Great White. Luckily Cap'n
- "Quinn's boat distracted the shark and
- "now the seal is fat and lazy, chasing
- "balls for tourists at Seaworld.
- "Cap'n Quinn is still into sharks.

- "THE EYE OF THE IGUANA
- "
- "This is the first thing I saw after
- "being washed up on the Gallopin'
- "Ghost Islands. She sort of adopted
- "me and kept me alive with flies and
- "crabs. I never forgot her kindness
- "and even now continue to get compli-
- "ments on my stylish cowboy boots.

- "THE GATHERING OF THE GODS
- "
- "My journey almost at an end, I fasted
- "for a week before asking these stone
- "behemoths for advice on the future.
- "'LOADSTAR' they said. Years later I
- "heard that they made excellent gravel
- "for the Easterplex Mall parking lot.

- "ONE OF MANY STRANGERS I MET
- "
- "We took this old coot for a tourist
- "at first, but his uncanny ability to
- "tell if we'd been bad or good soon
- "made him a favorite of the policias.
- "Years later he was himself hauled
- "into court on charges of sexual
- "harassment of an elf.
