Wow Sa-bdul,
That is like a trip down memory lane for me, without the terrifying recollections of "nights in the box" for being a bad little midnite. My Dad, the Sarge, was a WWII combat Marine, PT. He came back from the Marianas Is. and never completely gave up the love of islands/tropical life...or a good knife fight for that matter. He was responsible for getting me into "tiki"...although he never would have known it by that term.

We lived in So Cal and had an Anthony pool at one house. He never did the full on tropical jungle tiki look, but we did do the fish trap, floats, net decor. Later in life it was "artillery punch" and a rather serious pool game called "Take that beach, Marine!". I always had to play the last-standing and terminally hapless Japanese soldier.

Great Stuff Sabu and Doc Z!
