The wording on the asphalt needs to be changed from 'No Parking' to 'No Puking'

This is my theory on how those tikis got to look that way.

Someone heard that tiki was hot, so they commissioned a carver to create several tiki figures for their bar. They were shipped to site, but the owners thought they were too bland and natural looking. They decided that in order to draw more attention, that they would paint them in different colors.

But what color? They did a quick internet search on tiki, and learned that there were tikis on Easter Island, so they decided to paint everything the same color that they dye their Easter eggs with. This seemed OK, since parrots have feathers of bright colors too.

Perhaps the owners of the place grew up in the 70's, and they are trying to recreate the atmosphere of those felt colored posters that glow in the dark when the ultraviolet black light is turned on.
