So let me get this straight... Stuff you can buy from Pier 1, which comes from everywhere but Polynesia, is NOT tiki, but shrunken heads, which also are not Polynesian, ARE tiki?

Wait, Rick, YOU collect tiki stuff too, you can figure this out. OK, so tikis are kind of retro to the fifties and sixties (surfers, tiki bars, etc.) and shrunken heads are kind of reminscent of the same era (horror movies, hot rod culture, etc.) Is this right? Did I win??
