Three threads, debating which wattage of light bulb is best used when serving premium rums. Two posts, telling us that light bulbs are on sale at Target. One thread where someone asks how much she could expect to get by selling the old 'vintage' bulb on ebay Two posts, wondering if the Shag autographed burnt-out bulb on ebay is authentic. One thread, where someone wonders if the light bulb in question is the same one used on page 98 of the Book of Tiki. One post, where Humuhumu says she is moving to the San Francisco area, where she can see better. Two threads, based on the concept that true lovers of light will live by candlelight or torchlight, and not electric bulbs -- just as the native Polynesians did. One thread, speculating that perhaps the Polynesians were very capable of finding things to do in the dark, without the need for any light from any source. Two threads, praising the tactile, versus the visual, appreciation of the hula dance. One thread, with photos, where one describes the injuries obtained when appreciating hula dances in the dark, caused by reaching for a nearby tiki drink, and accidentally spearing himself with the little paper umbrella. One thread, describing the foolishness of modern Americans trying to capture the true essence of tiki. Vern |
