LOTR-extended version - Beyond Tiki

Not as cute as Tikigardener's wife, I know, but there's a tiki connection. Here is an account of Baker and other LOTR actors performing a Maori ritual called the Haka at an Oscar party: http://www.theonering.net/ringers/oldsite/dancing_down.html Unfortunately, the pictures on that website don't work. I did get some shots of Baker in ritual-like poses in Tulsa, but when another actor (the kid from Phantom Menace) asked him to actually perform a dance he politely replied that it was inappropriate (at that time and place, I guess?).
