Well because Brudda Bear did bring up Charlton Heston (and I do want to make EVERY "star" TC relevent)...

Not the most exciting in terms of Tiki trivia but let me throw this out as Question #4...

What 3 degrees of separation does Charlie have to the ONLY Tropical cocktail invented in Polynesia ?

What no takers here either ?? Hmmm….. This whole Tiki trivia angle isn't working as well as I expected. :(

Ok here' s the 3 degrees…

  1. Charlton Heston starred in "Treasure Island"
  2. Which is based on the novel by Robert Louis Stevenson
  3. And who's (mixologist) physician in Tahiti prescribed a cocktail he invented as a remedy for his heat exhaustion.

What was that doctor's name? Dr. Funk !! There's your Tiki connection.

So if that flawless Tiki logic isn't good enough for you ( :D ), how about this?…

Beachbum Berry created a Tropical drink which he named... "Planet of the Apes" !! (Remixed, pg 54)

IT"S A MADHOUSE !!

Oh and this is Chuck's reaction when he went to visit the Kahiki in Ohio.

And found it was razed to make room for Walmart. :(
