LIVE! From the Bahooka! Sorta.

Sitting here in the parking lot of the Bahooka after another great late lunch and bunch of drinks here. A sobering-up car nap may be in my future :wink: but before that I thought I'd whip out my laptop and make a quick post, thanks to Verizon BroadbandAccess.

We went to the Bahooka a few days after Christmas. When I went in, I noticed that the big tiki that stood just inside the door was gone and a table put in its place. Was this tiki temporarily moved for the holidays or perhaps for some New Years party? I have heard tales of ne'r-do wells trying to steal it right out of the front door, so I hope some ruffians didn't make off with it.

I really don't know which tiki the above post mentions, but there is still just a small table for 2 as you walk in the door. I did see 2 tikis further inside, and took photos with my cell phone camera and just uploaded them. Sorry about the crappy photo quality. It's VERY dark inside the Bahooka and my cell phone's photo quality is not so hot. I've done all I can with Photoshop to brighten them up a bit.

Anyway...this one:

Was in the small dining area just across from where you first walk into the restaurant. As you can see, it's been chained to the little niche in which it sits. I'd say that one is about 3 feet tall.

Next is this big guy:

Which resides in the small passageway between the two main sections of the restaurant, that leads to the restrooms. He's huge. I'd say at least 10 feet tall.

Again...don't know if either of these is the one mentioned above that perhaps has just been relocated to a different part of the restaurant. Or perhaps it was pinched and that's why the chain on the first photo above. Darlene was off today, or I would have asked her if they had any problems with theft of tikis.

BTW...the lunchtime "Pile of Ribs" has gone up to $7.50 now. Still a phenomenal deal! :)
