Well, I have suicidal tendencies. My shrink told me to think of a place far far away where I can escape to, and be calm and happy. So I started searching the web and found Tiki Central, a tikiroom, open 24 hours a day....:)the rest is history. I am still here, thank God, but my husband killed himself. Too much tiki, he couldn't take it anymore.:)

It looks like you've stumbled upon a great escape hiltiki! Tiki's a very tangible escape, equipped with its own artifacts. Happy TC'ing!

I like TIKI because it just seems fitting with my personality. The High School I attended in the 80's offered a shop class titled "PLASTICS" -- that's where I "created" my first TIKI. From a pile of molds dating from the 50's on up to the 70's, I fished out this obscure mysterious "head". It was like a spiritual connection. I somehow implicitly identified it as "TIKI" even though I wasn't exactly sure what "TIKI" was. When I brought it home my mother exclaimed enthusiasticly, "It's a TIKI-GOD!"

TIKI for me is a stark and zaney primal identity, immersed in an inspiring pretense of mystery beyond words!
