Although I greatly appreciate the efforts of my friends and relatives to find me tiki artifacts (and some have had awesome luck, I might add), I do not neccessarily want them to be more into tiki & Polynesian stuff than I am.
THIS (Tiki) is what makes US unique!

And, while I agree that the BOT is a great gift and will begin a tiki fire in the reader, be warned that it may create new competition in your neck of the tiki woods.

My suggestion? Send the BOT to your brother in another state and make sure they know that YOU are the tiki lover in the family.
Use it as a manual of what you are looking for. (My brother got one just because he likes knowing what I like and he has a geat interest in nostalgia - mostly Route 66 stuff.) If they ever make a big Bing Crosby book, he will probably send me one because that is what he collects.)

Spouses, on the other hand, are easy to turn. Just have something in a prenump about YOU getting the tiki collection if a seperation occurs. She can have everything else.

There will always be mating candidates, boys and girls...there are so few Ren Clark Headhunter mugs in the world.

Am I right or what? Okay, maybe it is NOT in that "Tiki Spirit" to refuse to share your love for tiki with others. Call me a greedy bastard - but it's hard enough to find the stuff as it is.
I say the fewer, the better!

Happy hunting...just not in Ohio.
Personally, I think we should declare "Tiki War" with turfs and rivals and torches and special tiki biker jackets!
