I came home late from work tonight, plopped down on the couch, and flipped on the telley. Some movie (which I later learned was called "Late For Dinner") was on, and I found myself watching the whole damned thing for one silly reason...

The plot concerns two guys who are cryogenically frozen in 1962, and thawed in 1991. It seemed kind of dumb, and I normally would have surfed right past it, but I noticed that one guy was wearing a pendant. It looked like a Tiki.

Given that the guy was frozen in 1962, it us very well likely that he could have been wearing a Tiki pendant.

But I could never really get a good look at it.

So I spent the next 90 minutes watching this dumb movie, trying to get a good look at the guy's chest in the event that he may have been wearing a Tiki.

Never did find out....

But I DID score FIVE new vintage books on South Seas adventure (a al Kon-Tiki but by other authors) today... more news on that later.

I digress.

So - has anyone seen Late for Dinner, and is that a Tiki around Frankie's neck?
