It seems like an attempt to write in the "insult" style, which is used by comedians and writers sometimes.

Too bad, I would appreciate a GOOD parody on Tiki, but this is just dumb.

I'm entirely with you BigBro!

Please contrast this with a genuine amusing, gently nose-tweaking, and non-insulting (at least, I don't find it so) entry with a "you're gay" punchline in another thread:

No. You're gay.

:lol:Sorry, couldn't refrain a reference to that recent thread, just kidding. ...though that leopard print obsession... I don't now...

Your leopard print thirst will be quenched with "Tiki Modern", where I dedicated a whole chapter to this taste aberration. Get the new Tiki Magazine once it comes out (in a month or so), there will be a little glimpse of leopard primitivism a la Witco in there.:)

Now see, that's funny, without the insult.

Part of what's funny is that the clear and absurd authority of this entirely unexpected diagnosis suggests everyone's having fun here, without implying any inferiority.

And of course our much celebrated author did find himself compelled to include an entire chapter in his book demonstrating the very symptom he cites as proof positive...

Why Sven, really?!?
