i was the guy who invented new jokes that spread through school then couldn't convince people they were mine :)

i was also the guy who cut up pictures of people with xacto knives and recomposited them and photocopied them and distributed them throughout the school. in effect, an analog version of an internet message board. odd that in the future i would gravitate toward photoshop and tiki central :)

my school was so relatively small that either you were in the cool group or not. i was in the not. strange that, considering in the "not-cool" group there was no peer pressure to consume certain substances or conform to other social expectations. that said, there were a group of the cool people i could relate to because i could make them laugh and i guess they found that amusing.

i think that it's pretty certain that this informal poll will not find too many captains of the football team or prom queens. tiki would not really appeal to that demographic until it is "culturally safe" by being available at mainstream shopping venues or on espn. at which point it would be interesting to see where the present company will have retreated to.
