Yep, those sure ARE Samoan war club handles -- with "Trader Vic's Los Angeles" carved into the edges!

Not to be nit-picky, folks, but to avoid further embaressment, those are actually Fijian war clubs. Gotta keep your Polynesian war club origins straight here :). And Kate, who carved them again?

Well, excuuuuuuuuuse me!!! :wink:

Actually, I freely admit I don't know the difference between a Samoan or Fijian war club -- I just assumed (dangerous to do) that the questioner knew their clubs as they specified "Samoan". Now I am officially embarrassed!

Okay -- guess I've got some studyin' to do, Bigbro! (Maybe in 50 FRICKIN' YEARS I'll know as much as YOU!)
