Personally, because that's all I have, I don't care for Witco, I don't give a flying reed about THE KON TIKI, I think exotica music pretty much blows, The fabled Ren Clark severed head mug is stupid, and the Tiki Room at D-land is lame!

There, I said it! Now what do you think of me?

Gack...the Ren Clark mug? Stupid? Just kiddin', I know it appeals to the part of my brain that is still a skinny nerdy 10-year old that built hot-rod models and drew pics of Good Guys shooting Nazis. And Thor Heyedahl is only a step above Erich von Daniken for me anthropology-wise... "those dumb Polynesians couldn't have made their own monumental sculpture, had to be the Incas". Kinda gets my goat.

You go, Bong! There is no Canon Of Tiki, true enuff!

aloha,
