Interesting article, but then, most anything about Tiki is interesting. I have to wonder though if some of these post modern, deconstructionist, pseudo liberal newspaper writers don't grossly over analyze. Consider from the first paragraph:

"Tiki drinks occupy a space somewhere in the Venn diagram of the American psyche where escapism, irony and kitsch overlap, cutting across so many cultural divides."*

*Copyright Washington post, Wed, June 10, 2009

newspaper reporters occupy a space somewhere in the venn diagram where a liberal arts degree, a smug sense of superiority, and yellow journalism overlap in an outdated business model that is better suited as packing material than reading material.

ps. i have a liberal arts degree, with a journalism minor. writing snarky posts on the internet is about the only benefit it afforded me.

Can I use that as a signature line? It's a long story but I work in the Navy's formerly journalist rate. (A merger kind of put me in that line of work)
