It sure did fizzle, and I'm really not sure why. Maybe it just wasn't the right time for a swap?
I originally suggested that theme specifically because I thought it allowed plenty of scope and everyone would be on the same footing resource-wise. Between the incredible eye-candy of Arkiva Tropika (warning - do not click on the "menu" tag unless you have a good connection, as it loads every menu in AT onto one page!) , Critiki and this very site, there is a ton of paper ephemera posted online. Not to mention the Book of Tiki and Tiki Modern, which most people here probably have access to.
Pretty much every type of traditional tiki has been illustrated on a menu at some point, along with saucy wahines and buff kanes - but if you want to get a little more offbeat (I know I would) there are some of the most whimsical and bizarre poly-pop creations you will ever see (including cannibals!).
That said, I am digging the animal theme a lot - but if there is still interest in a Vintage Menu theme I'd love to have a crack at it again!
