I finally get to see the skull and crossbones pendant for Clark...

BITCHEN!!

Although not tiki in a Polynesian sense (I think Florida & Carribean - Thanks Disney for cementing that onto my psyche forever) the skull and crossbones imagery always finds its way to impressionable young boys doesn't it?

I fondly remember my neighborhood schoolyard on windy days would become a magnet for kids flying kites. A trip to 7-11 or Sav-On with fifty cents in my pocket meant I could score the ultimate low-brow item to be found along the toy isle...the Jolly Roger kite.
I used to get pissed if no more Jolly Roger kites were in stock and all that was available were those funky, odd-shaped 'flower' kites. Barf!

• By the way, I just checked eBay and YES there is a whole slew of modern Jolly Roger themed kites for sale. Some things just never go out of fashion.

Thanks for the flashback TMango - Thanks for posting and just because you have a job now, don't put the carving tools and paintbrushes away. If you do I'll cancel my subscription immediately :(
