(Timo, you're so underappreciated...)

Playing at being a Snob (any kind of Snob) is fun. BEING a Snob is something else altogether. Tiki can either be locked in the Past -- "Oh no, Lionel, that's NOT tiki at all...", or it can be a living phenomenon, that continues to evolve, and embrace new interpretations and celebrations. Snobs kill anything their 'Safety Group' doesn't recognize or approve of. And they're almost universally outdated and rightfully refuted one generation later.

I've seldom viewed any post on TC that's been made by a certifiable Snob. Much to my delight. Real Snobs killed TV BH 90210, 'cause they just didn't get it.

Have mercy on the Bohemians, Ohana. Most of us are among them.

SOK
