Great thread Caerthe!

Although I do understand what the detractors are saying on this thread, I don't find the word "promote" to be derogatory.

Somewhere out there, is a baseball cap'd, Abercrombie and Fitch tee-shirt wearing guy, who, when with his friends from college would see a flowered shirted guy,
drinking a "girlie" drink, would shout out something nasty, but maybe a few months later, or even a few years later, he might stumble into some almost tiki event, or "on the fringe of" tiki experience, (maybe even one brought about by this thread, or a thread like it) and realize, " hey, I like this feeling" or "hey, that tastes f*cking great!" and who knows, maybe that formerly baseball cap'd, abercrombie and fitch tee-shirt wearing guy will then become a fez wearing, Hawaiian shirt clad, tiki worshiping guy who just might by me a Mai-Tai at some future Hukilau!!!

Okay, if you haven't figured it out yet, I'm drunk.

Great thread, go forth and multiply!
