GROG, being the cartoonist who draws the Bamboo Ben comic, can relate to Sven's frustrarion, and agrees with Granite about getting this back on topic, so GROG (Bamboo Ben cartoonist) thinks this qualifies as tiki atrocity and submit this:

This is a Bamboo Ben tiki bar sold to GROG (Bamboo Ben cartoonist) for $1950. It was $2000, but Ben mark it down $50 for GROG (Bamboo Ben cartoonist) since GROG (Bamboo Ben cartoonist) draws the Bamboo Ben comic.

Sven, you should change your screen name to " Sven-Book of Tiki Author", then you won't have to explain that you wrote the Book of Tiki (for all the newbies who don't know who bigbrotiki really is),so you don't come across as a self-agrandizing know-it-all, been-there-done-that-hoity-toity. By the way, for all you newbies, Sven Kirsten is just his nom de plum, Sven's real name is Jon Schmidt which is just German for John Smith. He changed his name to be more eye- catching like Thor Heyerdahl ( whose real name IS John Smith)

GROG (Bamboo Ben cartoonist) would like to apologize to TC for making humorous jab at Bamboo Ben ( and Sven, too).GROG (Bamboo Ben cartoonist) feels that GROG (Bamboo Ben cartoonist), being the cartoonist who draws the Bamboo Ben comic has the qualification to make fun of Ben since GROG (Bamboo Ben cartoonist) does that in his comic strip in Tiki Magazine. GROG (Bamboo Ben cartoonist), being Ben's gay -lover (GROG only one-of-many, and not have exclusivity in that department) feels that GROG (Bamboo Ben cartoonist) is a bit of a "Bamboo Ben purist" and knows Ben well enough to make humorous jab at Ben. So, GROG (Bamboo Ben cartoonist) would like to apologize to TC as coming across as a Bamboo Ben know-it-all and and is the only one qualified to poke fun at Bamboo Ben.

P.S. Love ya Ben. Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!
