I was considering the Troll possibility, but I equally felt a responsibility to all the newbies that sign up here daily, so I wanted to clarify some things about Bacardi as a non-Tiki liquor.

W.M., it makes sense that if you like vodka you like Bacardi, because Bacardi is closer to vodka than to real rum. And I ain't hatin', I never judge people that have an urge for self expression just because I myself am such an introverted middle-brow intellectual (Hell, I consider King Kukulele a dear friend of mine!).

AND I am a great fan of beatnik/hipster lingo. My first present I got from my dad when I moved to America was an American slang dictionary, what a great read! I love listening to vintage Beatnik records, and Martin McIntosh/Domenic Priore's "Beatsville" book should have started a whole beatnik revival, in my opinion!

So I view your performance art as trying to keep a great tradition alive, even if it does seem a little forced. Because: Better trying than crying (that it's gone)! It was just those joy juice basics that gave me indigestion. :D

I myself might sometimes hit the wrong note in my writings, but the good folks at Tiki Central seem to cut me the slack as one of those "wild and crazy guys from Germany".
