I've made this point many time before on Tiki Central and I'm sure I'll make it again as repeating ourselves seems to be our second favorite activity on here.

*****As our favorite past time on Tiki Central is defining whether something is Tiki or not can't we just start saying something "is T" or "not T" ?

Woofmutt, the beauty of Tikicentral is how conversation about tiki often morphs from one defined "thing" into something else. Lucus's monolog could not have occurred anywhere else. You piled the kindling, you soaked it in gas, and woof, it turned into something other than the bonfire you expected.

That is exactly what happens with tiki.

As far as starting another thread, now the proverbial cat is out of the bag - Are the Smokin Menehunes tiki - you can be sure the embers started here will begin to travel elsewhere.

And, haven't we already smelled the smoke in other threads. Of course we have. Lucas has been strumming this counter melody about the S.M. not being respected for at least the last few months.

But here, in this thread, the embers have finally ignited. Did you know that Jeff {btd} thought there was a real conspiracy regarding the S.M.'s. I didn't- although I should have since he has thought out loud about this possibility before in other threads.

No, I say this is exactly why we ultimately have Bilge in Tiki Central. It is a playground for thinking a loud or as is mostly the case, belching.
