Thanks for directing me here, Psycho Tiki D. I, too, seek atonement. I had no idea until I bought Tiki Style (the abridged version of BOT, which it looks like I'll never be able to own...) and found this group how bad some of my tiki decisions were. I've overpaid for things I didn't know about ($24 for a Libbey moai mug :(), passed on things I should have bought, and proudly posted photos of stuff like this:

But, I won't apologize for the cheap dollar/party store stuff because I keep it hidden away and it's good for parties (parties where I'm the only tikiphile, that is). I also have plastic tiki lanterns on my balcony and that same Big Al, Lenny et al. Mug set, which I bought second hand for $5.99. The rest is too embarrassing. I now avoid most of that junk, and I think I have enough monkeypod stuff from the Philipines. I will continue to look to the TC Ohana for guidance.
Mahalo!
