Thanks for the morale boost you guys. I really needed it.

I never considered the whole "flowered" shirt/umbrella drink decor as a "macho" slap, but I bet you are on to something. Personally, I consider it quite macho to taunt fate by daring to tangle with the possibility of jabbing an eye out with an umbrella embellished drink after having a few rumskie drinks too many. Or the thrill of avoiding piercing a nostril or two with a skewered fruit pick garnish. (makes me wonder if that's how the tiki's got their nose piercings to begin with) What can you get with a beer? A paper cut from the label?

And funny you should mention a newspaper article denouncing sipping on a tiki-fested drink. Recently in the KC Star newspaper I read a similar denoucement in an article on dating. Makes me wanna fix them a Suffering Bastard and use a field thistle for a drink stirrer.

Hmm, I wonder where I can go rent a thresher to throw them into.

Too bad some folks just don't know how to kick back and really relax and enjoy the whole mood and calming ambience of a nice tiki bar......even if it is landlocked in the midwest.

Yes, THE BAR STAYS!
