Funny, I had a discussion with another TC'er last night about the Tiki Ti, and it's collection of "non Tiki" things that adorns it's walls and ceiling as part of it's decor, and that, if someone opened a Tiki Bar now, and had things like License plates and various other flotsam and jetsam that the Tiki Ti has, it would be subject to much scrutiny as to it's authenticity / "Tiki-ness". Ditto for the Music they play .

The drinks and pedigree of it's ownership, I guess make those other "questionable" decor items less of a bone of contention.

..those liscense plates and various junk you call into question were found in the belly's of sharks that were caught off the hawaiian coast, cleaned and then lovingly placed around the bar as decor.....that makes them tiki, since tiki sharks surround hawaii....(in fact, one of them makes cool tiki paintings) this makes the flotsam and jetsam of tiki ti authentic....

i don't want to catch you arguing this point from now on...
