Tiki ... is it or ain't it ...? - Bilge

He replied "Do I know you?" Thank you Bora Boris for a few good laughs today when I needed them. Yes, I laughed. I didn't wish anyone ill will or think "How can I get the newbie" or anything of the sort. Sarcasm is a slightly bitter but ultimately delightful staple of true friendships and those who think that they are being assaulted when they encounter it can certainly feel free to start a message board of only the shiniest and happiest people alive. Then when I post there with sarcasm what will the response be? I've had plenty of vivacious arguments with many of the posters here. I've pissed off my favorite people, the carvers, on more than one occasion. I've, without meaning to, made people call me out harshly - and they are people whose writings I respect and admire. (edit here - I still love them and will always admire their work and have made inroads with them again through counseling and my probation officer.) If you believe Oingo Boingo is tiki then let us have a real reason why and prepare for the counter attacks. It's a MESSAGE BOARD. With that being said, I appreciated the response by Pacifilantic and even if was just to get him/her posting then this thread has been a good thing. The reason so many of our more venerable posters have left is that they are over the constant worrying about hurting someone's feelings over a couple of decent barbs and a slight exasperation over treading the same ground when it's very easy to seek out the answers for many questions on this very exhaustive and well orchestrated website. I did meet one of Danny Elfman's colleagues in the Emeryville Trader Vics one time - so I guess that makes Elfman "tiki." He had tall red hair, dyed, and he was working for Lucas on the former naval base between the cities. Man, I'd trade jobs with that guy in a second, even if it meant working with a non-tiki hack like Elfman. :wink: [ Edited by: pablus 2008-05-05 17:40 ]
