I think we've all found them. I always shake my head and say, "Crazy Fools. What were they thinking!?" (or something G-rated like that). Now I discover that I was wrong all along!? Did anyone else see this auction: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3255860610&category=29460 Dang! (or something similarly Disney-style), I've been drinking out of a planter all this time! Don't I feel like an idiot. What if we've got this tiki-mug thing all wrong? What if we've contaminated a perfectly good horticultural-fad and twisted it into a laughable rum-drinking cult? What if the Book-of-Tiki was all a bad guess? I need an affirmation, brethren! If I'm not reassured soon, I'm going to put a seedling in my Frankoma War God while I sip a Mai-Tai from my favorite Bauer Flower Pot. Wake Me Up From This Bad Dream!!!!
