That's funny that you said it looked like chewbacca. I've always thought that too! Actually, this is coconut man. About 25 years ago when my family and I were out boating, when we came back to the marina I found the remnants of a broken coconut in the marina. I glued a couple rocks in it for eyes, and that was it. The mouth and hair are all naturally formed! He recently got a makeover with the hula skirt and lei. (He used to just have a ski-cap made out of an old tube sock and a cotton ball and a "coat" made out of an old fuzzy cover for a golf club. My friends have suggested that I make an outfit for coconut man for each month of the year and make a calendar (i.e. a halloween costome for October, a pilgrim outfit for November, Santa outfit for December, etc.) I guess for halloween he can just be chewbacca!
