new tiki obsession - General Tiki

If you can just go buy it at wal-mart, what's the challenge? How is that a hobby? It's just a shopping trip. It's not a pastime, it's about how much of your paycheque you're willing to forfeit. That's why I dont play the magabucks Ebay tiki mug game either. As I have said before, I derive 99% of my satisfaction from FINDING the item in the field. Having it is secondary.
