Grog makes a good point. And that brings up yet another question: If a bar is called a 'Tiki Bar' it should have Tiki(s) in it. Simple enough. What do we call bars without Tikis in them? I know the obvious answer, I am asking about the words we use to define what makes Tiki, well, Tiki. Are we going to wind up with 15 different types of places, that one is a Tiki Bar, that one is a Bamboo Bar, that one is a Neo-Tiki Bar, that one is..... And so on, and so on. Because, if you take that reasoning out about ten more steps you wind up with Tiki Central, Bamboo Central, Neo-Tiki Central, and I am not saying that this argument only applies to Bars, I am just using them as an easy example. Your thoughts.....
