I have been having an excellent tiki collecting week. Now here is were the Tiki Wonderland comes in. I finally got to go see the "wall of tiki" at FatuHiva's house. First let me start by saying Fatuhiva is a really cool guy with a beutiful family, and that it was a pleasure meeting them. OK! I can't handle it anymore, show me the mugs. After the door opened I spent the next few minutes trying to pick my jaw off the floor.
I'm finally happy with my collection. How lucky I am just to live this close to Fatuhiva. Original Art by Flounder [ Edited by: FLOUNDERart on 2004-02-19 20:38 ] |

I know he had an orange paddle sucker but I'm not sure about the knife. I didn't see one but they are stacked in rows and he has more in boxes I think. |

Glad you had a fun time and that you like the mugs Flounder :) One particular moment of note is when Flounder pledged to go surfing with me or he would flow me 10 paintings for free- just kidding Seriously, there is a longboard in my garage crying "floounder.. floooounder.. why do you ignoooore me?" KG- you know thats a good question. I'll have to look. I know I have an orange paddle sucker, but im not sure if I have the knife in orange. How many colors did those hawaiian inn mugs come in? I think I've seen green orange and like a mustardy color(?) |

Wow, sorry to change the subject but, the red leaf on that Dypsis is beautiful. Are you into palms? Are you an IPS member? I know they have a problem with Ganoderma fungus in Florida, I got it here in CA. It's killed many of my mature palms. Have you heard anything about this in FL? |

fatuhiva, I'll go surfing with you anytime... But you've got to come to Maui. I even have an extra longboard or two. I'll trade you some Hawaiian Clip-art for a mug from your closet. |

Ah that poor red-leaf palm. That was back before the harsh summer hit and it started looking sickly. I ended up having to give it to a neighbor who had more of a shaded canopy in his yard. I havent checked on it lately- but its been kinda could so its probably pretty stunted right now. I'm not sure about that particular fungus, but from time to time i spray a fungicide on the fronds/buds of my palms that arent performing up to par.. it seems to keep them goin. Maui- I have a friend who lives there, and I'm going to be visiting him sometime this year- he doesnt surf, but I definitely plan to- I could use a SURF GUIDE dude! I dont wanna go charging into some reefbreak I know nothing about and get put through a cheese grater like some haole kook hahaha |

fatuhiva -- Let me know when you are comming. I surf every Sunday during the summer and most Sundays during the winter. Put me on you're calendar, and we'll surf! So what, don't want to trade an old Closet tiki mug for a CD? |
