My Nightmare - General Tiki

I thought I'd check it out, find out who this Trader Todd is, and what his Tiki Transit is all about. My mistake. Unbeknownst to us there has been a bar operating in Wrigleyville for at least a couple years now that apparently advertises that it's a "A Great Place For Karaoke." If that does not scare you off, consider "Saturday and Sunday Football Specials include: $2 Burgers, $1 Hot Dogs, $10 Buckets of Bud and Bud Light, & $5 Bottomless Basket of Wings." If you still are curious and think to yourself "How bad can it be, maybe I'll just try their Mai Tai" ... be warned. Their special recipe is: "O-Mai-Tai – You’ll be saying O-My! After one sip of this potent concoction. Made with Bacardi Select, Bacardi Limon and Bacardi O, fresh squeezed orange juice, pineapple juice, and a dash of grenadine." Still not frightened? "The Tiki Transit will also be servicing the neighborhood during the Jimmy Buffet concerts." Glutton for punishment? Enter at your own risk: http://www.tradertodd.com Sorry. -Duke p.s. I'm afraid this is what propagates people's misconceptions of what Tiki is about. A shame really.
