Oh, yeah. That fits. I'm like Steve Martin's character groovin' on the porch in the opening to The Jerk. I'm so right there after it's happened. First off, I get the idea to collect tiki mugs days after Oasis and the Modernism Show. Add insult to injury, I stumble on a Volcano a few days after someone lists it on Ooga Mooga (and naturally had already contracted with a buyer for it). But I have to console myself with what I do have: a wealth of information from a collaborative group of good people, a terrific hobby which expands geometrically as I pick and choose my way through collecting, and in the end I get to enjoy all of my collected treasures in my equivalent of a Victorian Secret Garden. Very gratifying indeed.

I will keep looking. I will keep soaking it all up. Maybe one day I'll find my Volcano (and my Hawaiian Village Good Luck-- but then again, maybe not-- just now my non-tiki husband said "If you think anybody willingly is ever going to part with something called Good Luck you are insane!")

Thanks anyway.
