Avoiding tiki faux pas - General Tiki

Dad helped build the bar, so he's really into the room, although he doesn't really get the tiki aspect. I finally had to put my foot down when he gave me a big neon toucan and some sort of leaping dolphin sculpture that worked like one of those static electricty globes. I made him keep the weird dolphin thing, but I had to take the toucan. I keep it in the closet, and every time I see it, I feel guilty. His feelings were pretty hurt when I wouldn't take the dolphin.
