SCD, where I live, I get that question all the time. POdunk backwater to San Francisco........ What's a tiki? My answer is, "well you know those big heads/faces they carve into wood over in Hawaii?" Oh yeah those.
For moviegoers I just saw 007 Die Another Day and I swear I saw some tiki-like figures in the opening chase scene when Bond is chasing a bad guy on a hovercraft. Please confirm. Another movie coming soon to a theatre near you "A Guy Thing", shows tikis in the movie and Tiki Girls, tiki bar too. Can't wait. Also for you guys who play PlayStation 2, Nightfire 007, mission "Island Infiltration"....guess what, you'll find Tikis there also. Just thought I would share that. 1 more thing, anyone seen Trader Vic ashtrays? I nabbed a couple at an antique store. I wonder if they are fairly common. TTYL, JT
