Wayne is an icon and an innovator, an American original. He built something from nothing. As for the copycats...it's gotten so repetitive, flooded, and bad it's a joke. I visualize the rinky dink highway signs you see a lot of on the 2-lane blacktops of Georgia and Florida: "Peaches, Boiled Peanuts, Fireworks, Flea Market, (add) Tikis"."Oh, look, Hal, Tikis...should we stop the RV?" "What is a tiki, Ehthel?" -"I think it just means any big half-assed goofy face carved into a log...Do you at least want to get some boiled peanuts?"
