Cool tikis indeed and there is nothing wrong with having the self confidence and pride to say "coolest ever." However, there are some awesome carvers in this forum who do incredible work and are very humble about it. Many of them are good friends in this tight knit Ohana. When you say "coolest tikis ever", ya better be prepared to get some flak and have thick skin when the spears start flying. Ultimately it is the carver and/or the buyer who is going to consider what is the coolest and each one will give you a different answer to for their definiton of coolest. Mystiki-You know I dig Jamio's work and we have said hello, but I read your post and I said WTF. I am not one to usually get into a potentialy volatile topic, but your post touches a subject that really irks me. Which is judging somebody by the way they look and the lifestyle they prefer. What if someone was to say something to the effect of "why do all those greasy goth gearhead types have to show dark and evil looking pics of themselves on their websites?" How would you take it? Your statement was uncalled for if taken out of context. (Which is easily done and happens often here on TC.) I hope you were joking around and know Surfingtiki. Otherwise I agree with TikiG, You owe the man an apology. If you don't like his feet dont look at them. TikiG thanks for sticking up for the barefoot surfing bretheren here on TC. Keep those shoes locked in the closet whenever you can. Chongolio Whats the dirtiest part of your body? Some say it´s your toes, some say it´s your nose, but it think it´s your Mind. ....Frank Zappa -- I believe that our Heavenly Father invented the monkey because he was disappointed in man." ...
