One which we all can buy, which was originally what I thought this one was supposed to have been. I never had a Shecky, having mistakenly thought way back when that none were available, plus I wasn't sure that as a newbie I even deserved one, having been to only a few tiki events around the country and having posted only a few hundred times. The masses asked for this one because so many of us want a damned Shecky!!!!!! (Pardon me, Father Shecky, for taking your name in vain.) And unlike many of my collecting pals, I just can't bring myself to spend $50 on a non-antique drink holder. Or $90. This is NOT to knock how anyone chooses to spend their hard-earned money. Many (rightfully) question my choices. I just want a TC mug, a mug that represents where I have spent so much time (and by traveling to see my TC friends, spending so much money!). One that can travel with me (to photograph in exotic locales), one that I can use everyday, one that I can afford. can the next one PLEASE BE AFFORDABLE? AND PLENTIFUL??? As I said when the ohana hut was first chosen, it is BEAUtiful. And had I been on the committee, I too would likely have said that its superior beauty earned it the award. But I think I also would have fought for making one (instead? or in addition?) that everyone could get. The point was to link us, not to divide us into the can-afford's/can-get-to-a-computer-on-a-Wednesday-morning's VS. the me's of the world. We can't all have everything we want, and you can't please all of the people all of the time. The makers and providers of this beautiful vessell have worked their asses off and I know we appreciate that. Chongolio, Stuckie, and all involved, you created an outstanding piece of art. This post's point is not to whine about the ohana hut. But I think if the next mug (she says "next" optimistically!) could be....a mug, then we could all have our S.O.S. (Son of Shecky).
