Tipsy, I think glass houses are sexy and all, but aren't you the one who posts the Big Lots threads?? Just sayin'.

I tried to make a living building fine wood furniture, so I appreciate the craftsman's perspective. But if I came home with a $250 carved Tiki I'd be thrown out along with my mug of Suffering Bastard. Without this plastic facsimile of a real Tiki, I'd have none at all.

If you can't beat 'em, well, mix up a batch of Mai Tais and get on with it.

listen..i never said i didn't buy cheapy tiki stuff once in awhile...as evidenced by my big lots post...so the glass house theory of yours doesn't hold water....however i do manage to be able to squeeze out $250 and much more for the occasional carved tiki as well...my girlfriend doesn't have my nuts in a vice so i am able to spend money on whatever i want without trembling nervously that i will be evicted from my own house!! how sad....
