Bong,
I hope you're kidding with the "you're with us or you're against us", drawing a line i the sand over Kohl's stuff.

Destroying the bowling alley aside: Yes, I bought tiki stuff from Kohls. I will hide my shame on this board no more. Just because it's a department store, that makes it uncool? Just because I spent some money there, that makes ME uncool by association?
What the heck is up with that?

This isn't the first time I have picked up a negative vibe here on the issue of Kohl's. Lighten up, it's a department store, for cryin out loud. No, not every TCer lives in the cradle of tiki civilization, but does that make those of us who don't and who shop at chain stores "less than"?

What gives any of us the right to pick on anyone else and their shopping choices.

Get to know me then judge me, okay? Don't look down on me because of where I may have shopped in the past.

What's going to happen at Oasis if this divide continues? Will I be shunned if I "out" myself as a Kohl's shopper? Should I sport a scarlet "K" on my cocktail dress?

Yes, it's a shame about the Kona Lanes being torn down. The blood of the Kona Lanes is not on my hands, however. For the record, I'm NOT a midwesterner.

(ChaCha, shhh.... Hey! it's me Bong. Don't let anyone in on our little gig here. But I WAS JUST KIDDING!)

P.S. I consider anywhere not Orange County to be the Midwest.
