Coconut Monkeys - Collecting Tiki

So I left him there and on my next visit he had been marked down to 49 cents and it was 25% off day. I was then forced to adopt him. Once at home, Mrs. 8FT fixed him up. Replaced his eye? NO! But you just gotta admire the creativity of an Oakland raider fan. Now over the years I have seen coconuts carved into an amazing array of good and bad creations but I never thought I would find one of these: Hawaiian Tiki coconut. Well I'll be a monkeys uncle.
