That's right - you can in fact take a dump on EVERYTHING that was traditionally associated with Tiki and remake it in your own image - just as you ARE doing. And Sven: I mean you too. You're just scrambling to keep up with the changes imposed by the kiddie noobs, and it's pathetically obvious, although your first book was still brilliant - no mention of surf music or suggestion of Hawaiiana not being part of Tiki to be found, anywhere. How ABOUT that, eh?

"scrambling to keep up with the changes imposed by the kiddie noobs" What an absolutely ridiculous statement!

I see no imposition on my point of view (as in change of mind) enacted on me from anywhere:

Tiki style being defined as MAINLAND USA's twisted take on Hawaiian and Polynesian culture, thus being simply more interesting than anything from Hawaii itself.

Surf music and Hawaiiana were not mentioned in the Book of Tiki consciously because in my view they are not part of the genre.
