I have a puffer fish, glass float lights, a Gope board - all stuff that would pass muster. But I also have a plastic parrot that my wife bought, a Target tiki that my kids love and a (shudder) Big Lots tik bar sign that was given to us by a friend. They are all there as well. If I post a photo of my bar, should I have to also make a disclaimer "I know not all of this stuff meets the traditional definition of tiki?"
