Garden Gnomes - General Tiki

So does that mean that GARDEN GNOMES are the TIKIS of Germany? The human inclination to decorate one's front or back yard with mythical humanoid figurines seems to be international, indeed. But aren't we taking multiculturalism a bit to far if we let red caps mingle with island idols? What will be next? German Beer steins on your Tiki mug shelf? I think we are entering the dangerous territory of watering down (beering down?) our Mai Tais here, my friends! I will leave it to the individual leisure landscape lover to make up his mind about this... :D
