Dunno if this is appropriate here, but I was hangin at a friends tree house in Volcano, on the Big Island, last December when I went down to the ground and out in the 'jungle' to take a leak.

I found a large, half carved log standing back in the foliage, with a Sven Tiki mug upright on it, replete with headband! I should have taken a picture of that.

I asked the guy how that got there and he had no recolletion of it (heh heh! - must be a good cocktail!), so I snagged it for my collection.

Sven should be proud! That mug survived a very long journey and it's got a cushy indoor location now!

I am! A Sven-Tiki found in the Hawaiian jungle! I have returned to the source! This foreshadows how several generations from now, an urban archaeologist will find a Sven-Tiki recipe card and put it together with the mug and put it in a book and...

I still do not quite understand: Who carved the log? Your friend or another tree dweller? How could the mug just be there? Any foot marks? Maybe the Sven-Tiki carved it, and he is really one of those alien Moai from that comic strip! Check if he moved over night!

And yes, you should have taken a photo! I always damn myself for not having shot a red Moai mug found in situ lying in the encrusted mud at The Tikis site.
