Man TC needs to make up its mind.
ATP and I gave one guy Crap on TC for posting not only not tiki art
but crappy art if you could even call it art and all heck broke lose defending
Crappy computer art guy.
That guy had page after page of “yer awesome”
Day after day some goofy tiki art, smoking fountain ect…is posted on TC and folks LINE up to go on about how great it is.

I mean cool is cool and you can ignore some stuff on TC but why egg em on?

Cultural appropriation?
F that, ol Polynesians did not even have electricity so my appropriation is from Trader Vic’s and Donn Beach, ect…

The drink the Polynesians had was Kava and that is one drink NOBODY here is going to want to
Make that the way the Polynesians did as they chewed the root and all spit it out into one big bowl and drank each other’s spit, Yum!

Bill Sapp said much of the Kahiki décor came from Mexico and some of it looks like
that’s where it came from.
But again cool is cool and it worked.

But for real I don’t get it, just yesterday ALL forms of tiki were “awesome” on TC.
The up side is if you praise one of these non-real tiki newbies they will follow you, post on your thread, you get a friend for life.

For the record I like ol skool tiki, like American bars of the 50s and that’s what I try to make my lights look like.

Star wars is not tiki, nor are Legos.
