(As if tiki mugs weren't massed produced in the 1950s & 60s?). They sell them all over the place here in Waikiki. I actually think they're kind of cool..except for the ones riding motorcycles or screwing each other. I actually almost bought a CD rack one..I thought that was pretty cool. I don't own any of these types yet, but I suppose I should pick one up before the carvers in Bali, Philippines, etc., etc. turn to a new style. I am seeing fewer of this style lately. Hey, I mean, if it makes you happy to believe it was carved by a long lost tribe of islanders exiled from Krakatoa, all the happier. I mean, what's Christmas without Santa Claus.
