Well this is turning out pretty well. I take back all of my rude comments,
and can agree with many of your points. I always bristle over the "hippie"
thing. I guess that's because I WAS a half-assed hippie....but I never
stunk and never inhaled...and always sat in real furniture. I can identify
with a few of your comments since I seem to recall a few girls who used the
hippie scent to smell clean. I have also known jazz buffs who could have used
a shower.

The "what is Tiki" arguments have always and always be a part of this forum. There really is not one established "right" answer, but I tend to support the vision and explanation of people like Sven (Bigbrotiki) who look at tiki as a uniquely mid-century phenonenum.

If you want to have some real fun, go over to the martial arts talk forums and check out the "MMA vs. TMA" threads. (Modern mixed martial arts VS. Traditional martial arts)...oh man, the name calling, death threats...it gets so intense at time that they have what is known as "meet-ups" which are essentially challenge matches..and of course the results are posted on youtube.

We should have tiki meet-ups where people throw their favorite mugs at each other. Of course, I would lose as I only own three paltry mugs and my Squid pendant (which I will always treasure and would not throw at anyone).
