But then again Tiki has to be probably one of the most normal hobbies I've ever been involved in since I was a little kid. I've actually run into an opposite reaction several times when the issue of my collecting tiki things came up, people going all misty eyed and begin recounting tales of the tiki bar/restaurant their parents took them to as a kid. Its great to see people suddenly reliving these happy memories they had all but forgotten in the recesses of their mind. It brings them joy to find out there are still a few tiki bars left out there and a dedicated group of people even travel across the country to go visit them. Its one of the side benefits I like a lot about collecting tiki stuff. -- Zombiepops
