I found this vintage Ku tiki mug at an estate sale this last Saturday. It has me a little perplexed though. While the headdress is clearly Hawaiian, the eyes are without doubt New Guinean in form, but the toes evoke the 1960s surf-tiki stylings of famous Huntington Beach artist Buddy "Whack" Wembley. Strangest of all, it is marked both "Kahiki" and "Luau Hut" on the back in black permanent marker.

My questions for the group are:

  1. Does anyone know where I put my car keys?
  2. Does this dress make me look fat?
  3. Can I have another slice of cake before bed?

Any insight into the answers to these questions will be greatly appreciated. But if you are going to call me names, you can go @#@#!*^ yourself with mixed-breed *#$^%^!@$ in a *%^&!ing tupperware %#$$@!
