Ha Ha! :lol: It's hard to get more non-sissy, manly man's man than Papa Hemingway! And I don't know with what/whom he slept and I couldn't care less.

Regarding Conga Mike's comment:

"I think it's important to note, that it's not our parents' generation that was into Tiki, but our grand-parents (for the most part-depending on how old you are etc)
Although Tiki was everywhere in the 60's and 70's, the generation growing up then (our parents) were against it and this ultimately led to its demise!!... We have to understand this generational gap. The hippie generation abhorred Tiki and everything it stood for."

Good Lord, CM! How old ARE you, darlin'?! 22?!

Speaking as one who grew up in the '60's and '70's (ahem), not many of us were hippies (despite what the media adores portraying)! :) Lotsa pillbox hats and hairspray hairdo's, then long hair and sideburns. But bad coiffures do not a hippie make!

But you're right, there's probably a generational gap thing going on there. It's always popular hating the stuff your parents were into...for a while. Then you discover that Frank Sinatra and Johnny Cash are the coolest of the cool, desPITE the fact that your mom and dad liked them!!

(Just teasing you about the age thing, BTW. But I'm betting your family reproduced much more quickly each generation than mine did!)

Feeling very very old now, thankyouverymuch,
