...afterall, a lot of us just cruise through this board for the hell of it. Sure, we mix up a Mai-Tai now and then, or try to get a cheap-ass price on a mug that was mislabeled by some poor sap. If there's a tiki party someone else is organizing, we'll show up -- if the drinks don't cost more than a glass of beer. Who knows, we might even have the opportunity to pilfer something from the old koot that's barely keeping his run-down tiki joint in business. As for carvers and other artists, well some of us might just knock-off their work and try to sell something similar ourselves. If the local library ever gets the Book of Tiki in stock, maybe we'll finally get a copy by permanently borrowing one. If only we could get free bootleg copies of the all the exotica music we haven't bought, then our tiki lives would be complete. Except -- oh yeah -- we wish this tiki thing would quit expanding in popularity because it's getting so damn hard to find stuff for 25 cents when we go to the thrift store once every six months. So like, why in the world would anyone want to contribute to the Raise a Tiki at Tiki Gardens project -- when it doesn't directly benefit our personal tiki jones. Afterall, we're only interested in this tiki thing for what we can get out of it, not for what we can give back to it, right?
