Attention fellow tiki freaks, our glorious day - International Tiki Day - is almost upon us.

As we all know, it's the second Saturday in August. I imagine that all TC'rs will celebrate it to the best of their ability. If you live near other TC'rs, plan a party. If you don't, celebrate alone in quiet solitude.

Since this will be the first one, we need to come up with all the customs, traditions and general bafoonery that will, from this day forward, be perpetuated for infinity (or at least until the second Sunday in August).

Just think about it! You have a chance to get in on the ground floor of something that in 300 years, people will be asking "why the f&$* do we do this on Int'l Tiki Day mommie?".

We'll be just like the folks that started the whole Christmas thing about a little homeless baby being born that had been good all year so Santa Dawg brought him a bunch of presents and stockings filled with stuff!

So far, I've come up with a few things:

1. read from the BOT on an obscure street corner until at least 10 people gather in wonder.

2. ritualize the disposal of all tiki things broken during the preceeding year.

3. Tiki Sacrifice - destroy some perfectly good tiki thing (preferably your own).

4. Ceremonial tiki torch lighting.

5. Extreme tiki day games - see how many consecutive drinks in the Grog Log you can comsume within say 2 hours.

Now, let's come up with food, drink, song, dance, naughty stuff, and anything else you can think of to make this one mutha of a celebration!!!
