While researching the Fireside, in Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin, I visted the Fireside's website (I presume this is the same Fireside as the one that made the Moai-style mug). According to the website's history page, the restaurant was originally built as a pyramid. In Tiki Quest (page 60), there is a mug that has a tiki wearing an Egypitian headdress. The mug says 'Tiki Aloha Hawaii', but could there be a connection here? Could this mug be from the Fireside, or is there some semi-latent Egyptianness to Tiki? Are fezzes a modern incarnation of Egyptology in Tiki? To make things a bit more interesting, this thread talks about a restaurant called the Pyramid, in Beaver Dam, Wisconsin. Beaver Dam is a mere 47 miles from Fort Atkinson. Hmmmmmmm.
