Bali Hai remodel - General Tiki

Discussions about personal taste are pretty pointless here. Some folks don't like the design of Tiki Bob, others don't like Witco, and others think this or that Tiki are "ugly". Everybody is entitled to their personal aesthetic preference. Just remember that at one point in Tiki history, ALL of it, or 98%, was considered "ugly". It is the context that matters, and with the Goof we truly have a unique character history tied into Hollywood, with it's travels from Catalina Island to Balboa, Waikiki, and San Diego, from Pre-Tiki to Tiki, --and the enduring mystery of its artistic origin. The Goof is weird, ugly, bad taste -that IS what is cool about it. But most of all, despite the vagaries of time and taste, the Goof just IS. :)
