Well, one night (sitting in my parents hot tub) I was trying to figure out what I could get them for Christmas. They already have everything they want. I knew it had to be something unusual. I'm thinking, contemplating, meditating......swimmin' pool, hot tub, palm trees overhead, 70 degree summer night............then suddenly......inspiration...WAH LAH! TIKI! I'll get them a tiki. Next thought, where the hell do I get a tiki? Another inspiration...INTERNET......I'll get on the web. So I type in "Tikis" for my search. BINGO. Guess who comes up......BOSKO. After I met him it was all over. Now as some of you already know and as I stated before on this board, I sell his "stuff" up here. I am slowly acclimating to all that is the culture. But it's almost like going full circle realizing now (flashbacks) some of the luau's and listening to Don Ho and Quiet Village as a child. Quiet Village, a song that I just recently rediscovered. Ahhh paradise. Lastly, my parents taking me to the Tiki Room at the Mouse House, then years later taking my springoffs to The Tiki Room. I told them it was my favorite "ride", because it wasn't a ride. That's my story and I'm stickin' to it.
