I'm tellin ya, it's just like my previous comments about "Eames"... the more popular something becomes, the more warped, stretched, twisted, watered down, flip-flopped, misunderstood it becomes.

It's like music. To some people, rock-n-roll is Elvis. To others (like the Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame), it encompasses rock, jazz, hip hop, folk, etc. And then there are others who don't even think it has anything to do with music anymore. To them, rock-n-roll is "an attitude".

Tiki is starting to parallel this. Some people think of tiki as "an attitude" and not an object at all.

It's all your fault Sven! You piloted this rocket of tiki popularity. But the higher the popularity goes, the more faded and wide rocket trail becomes. Hopefully some of us will continue to ride up front and not get lost in the dust!
