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

Huh? What did I do now? well I'm sure I am in need of mercy either way.

As far as being a Tiki snob, I'm still learnin' so have not reached the top of any ivory tiki tower to be able to gaze down on those less knowledgeable. If I think it's cool I'll go for it regardless of whether it's "Pure" or "Traditional" and I could care less what anyone else thinks. My friend used to carve tiki's and would adorn some of them with dayglo paint. Some screamed foul and taboo but who cares, it was fun, some people liked them and after a few drinks they looked fine. I can forgive bad taste but not rotten personalities, judgmental airs or assumed haughtiness.

Besides, It's a bit hard to be a snob when your wearing an obnoxious Hawaiian shirt and drinking something that has a small fruit buffet and an umbrella attached to it.
