Ha! Me too, Kenike! I always know it will be valuable, thoughtful and enlightening - and very well written. His title could be "New archeological find on Rapa Nui" or "Poo-poo in your pants," but I will still click his thread before any other.

That kind of worthwhile-ness is also why it took you longer, Vern, to make it to 1000 than many other TC-ers; your posts are not "Yeah, cool!" posts, but rather a whole photographic essay on the demise of a beloved tiki establishment or sharing a heretofore unknown tiki treasure. Of course, "Yeah, cool!" posts have their place (especially in "Creating"), but you know what I mean.

I'll not wax rhapsodic here on your wonderfulness (you didn't die, after all!), but thanks for so many of my favorite memories in Tikiland. And thanks for documenting them so well on TC.
