I doubt Derek could get J. Buffet for it though, he is a very smart multi millionaire business man who pays his employees badly and is mainly interested in keeping his target consumer group entertained with new stuff, and Tiki just fit the bill nicely (...well, and he actually, admittedly, might LIKE Tiki. Note: Not everybody who likes Tiki IS Tiki.) An excellent example, that wood sign above is on the peak of the tide this thread is stemming against, for if we don't speak up, this (not badly done) "Ku" Tiki just might be referred to as "Parrothead" in the future! :)
