I've come up with an idea that could possibly be the biggest thing we've done for tiki to date - TIKI DAY!

Since our members are from all over hell's half-acre, it makes sense that it should be an international holiday.

The reason there is not currently a special holiday for tiki is because no one's ever started it yet - UNTIL NOW!

We'll have all the trappings of other holidays: songs, rituals, foods, drink (like that's a hard one) customs etc...

We could have 'secret tiki' in order to exchange gifts with ourselves. Decorations could include madatory tiki torches a-flame. The customary tiki day dinner could be ah ... , er ... sweet & sour pork ribs, rumaki, fried rice and rum balls!

We could have some kind of legend like ... 'there was once wahini tiki; she never let kane tiki have any, but somehow she ended up pregnant with ku tiki. Kane tiki was ready to rip her to shreds because he thought she was breaking out the goods for all the other kane tikis but him. Then she said 'Kane Tiki' I became pregnant by the sprit of mana' Well ... this sounds too familiar, maybe we could think of something else (?)

Anyway INTERNATIONAL TIKI DAY is the 2nd Saturday in August. We need to get and keep this ball rolling. I'm going to contact my Congressman and have a declaration of 'TIKI DAY'. This could be bigger than all of us (except Baxdog).

Come up with some more customs, rituals etc and get ready to celebrate!

'A thing of Tiki is a joy forever'

Remember to celebrate 'International Tiki Day' the second Saturday in August!
