They are a Fu Manchu mug, and a Pirate mug, it's very simple. I appreciate all the thoughtful posts above. If their thinking is flawed, is for everyone to decide, just as it is apparent that if you WANT to see Tiki in something, you will find it. Hot Rodders, Rockabillies, monster makers - everybody gets to have THEIR Tiki. :)
