Less thinking ~ More drinking

Yes, wiser words were never spoken. I'm drinking right now. Let me get in this last post for the evening...

When we refer to the "Buffett-ization of Tiki" we mean the watering-down of tiki...

Thanks for the clarification Sabu. I was never sure what that meant. I'm not really familiar with Jimmy Buffet or his music but I always figured he must be a very bad person to garner so much so dislike here on TC. :)

I always thought that meant he brought along a Caribbean aesthetic which watered down the Polynesian focus of classic Tiki. Given that Smuggler's Cove is name leaning more towards Caribbean history I incorrectly used the term in that context.

Now that I'm sitting here :D I can see that the real misunderstanding has to do with the general public's confusion of Nautical-style with Pirate-style.

I blame it on Disney. :evil:
