I read this thread with great interest as I am a member of a few forums that have their share of Snob's.
A Ukulele Forum where if you don't play a Vintage Martin/20's style your not playing a Ukulele, a Kayaking site where if your not white knuckled your a sissy and a Sailing site that if you have a motor your worse than a houseboater.

I do get a kick out of how folks feel they can tell you their way of thinking is the only way, I see that from the folks that think they are "purists" in all the forums.
Now don't get me wrong from the historical stand point of Poly-Pop there is only one way of doing it and if you Bar/Basement/Lanai/Backyard is claiming to be vintage tiki it better follow those rules.

But to tell me that I can't have a few plastic party city type cups for friends to drink from that ARE NOT going to be drinking from the mugs on my shelf makes you worse than a snob.

Now I know why out of almost 700 views of the basement bar I am building only 3 folks have left comments... everyone must have known I had these "mugs".
