I was sitting in my igloo, cooking up a little whale blubber and drinking a Molson Canadian, while listening to Celine Dion (the french stuff, before she sold out) on my 8-Track. Yet, with all this splendor around me, I was strangely unsatisfied. I thought, surely there must be more to life than this. After peeing on my hands to thaw them out, I...

Aw heck, I can't even remember how I found Tiki Central, actually.

I think a gorilla told me...

How I got turned on to tiki itself is a little foggy too. It just came to me one day that there used to be these fun places back in the 70s with umbrella drinks and rivers runing through them, adn I thought it would be really cool if one still existed. so I went looking for them. I didn't even know what they were called. I described what I was looking for to my producer and she said 'Oh! You mean a KON-TIKI bar!'

I think maybe seeing the Bahooka in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas may have triggered this nostalgia for something I didn't know anything about... but of course, now am consumed with!
