Ya, ya, I dig the Tiki Ti, but damn it, I get hungary after 4 or 5 drinks. And, I love the food at the Beachcomber - I'm talking about Happy Hour of course. Still, I hit the T when I can, smoke a cigar, and trash Hollywood before I head on back home. I'm not kidding about trashing Hollyweed either. Most trips cost me a few thousand dollars. At least.
