This is funny, like it's turning into a sort of confessional session at a therapy meeting. Well, let me step up to the plate now and declare that, yes, I too regard my own username as rather lame. It brings to mind, perhaps, a cartoon character wearing a Hawaiian shirt, or a tourist who considers himself an expert on the Caribbean because he vacations there for a week every year.

But I'm heartened by a certain strain in the tiki sensibility which I call the "it's so bad it's good" concept. This could also be called the "the tackier the better" concept. So, I'm sticking with my username. Darn it, it's so bad it's ... (I dare not say it).
