That's just wrong! The un-Tiki thread: - General Tiki

I think we do need to think in terms of a scale of "tikiness" for some of these items. Yes, there may be elements of tiki, but the other elements water them down - and for some, totally overpower them. When I see the backyard party shack, for example, I don't get bothered because I'm a tiki traditionalist (which I am). I could have a great time there and I have had LOTS of fun at places just like it. However, I rate it pretty low on a tiki scale though, maybe a 2 on a scale of ten. Or, as my dad sometimes told me, "It's a good start" - meaning its got a way to go, tiki-wise. I hope TC members can give and take that kind feedback without getting riled up. JTD
