Billy the Crud carving a tiki.

I heard that in the Pacific islands, the tiki carvers are considered holy people, and it's good and proper to give them offerings. Apparently this translated, in Tiki Oasis terms, to random people buying them drinks!

Actually, yes......a had a couple of people bring me beers to quell the hangover from Friday night. The drinks increased on Sunday when I was carving in my boxer shorts. Now that this information is out, I'll expect more offerings next year as I bring to life another graven image of Ku, Pele, Akua-Kai, or Kanaloa.
