See what happens when you stir the pot! Now Grog pissed. Don't piss off Grog because Grog working on Monkeyfez mugs (say that 10 times fast). Grog need good artist vibe to complete mugs. I don't know why I'm talking like a caveman??

I can only say what is tiki to me. Having grown up in Hawaii in the 60's and 70's, my memories guide my tiki tastes. As John-O knows, I'm not a purist. Hell, I don't even live in a trailerpark.

Reggae/Hawaiian=Hell no not Tiki.
Primo=Tiki because it used the symbollism of tikis and the Hawaiian islands pre-1970's.
Hawaii 5-0=Not tiki because McGarret would have gotten his ass kicked if he went downtown.
Don Ho=Tiki because he was the quintessential lounge/tiki bar entertainer pre 1970's.
Surf Guitar=Not tiki but it is at my trailer er house because we surfers relate to it.
Punk/Garage rock=Not tiki.
Spam/Rice/Macaroni salad=Not tiki but a damn good grind for me.
John-O=Tiki because he likes to get the purists all riled up.
Grog=Tiki because he made the coolest moai salt & pepper shakers and now I want a Monkeyfez mug!
