Geeky, your definition of "Tiki" is WAY TOO BROAD!!! Dreads? Breitish accent, chess? Skateboarding? Tailgate party? I am gonna cry, man! Try this: real or faux/kitsch Polynesian culture, esp. as practiced by non-Polynesians. Simple, straight up, no dreadlocks (what would Rastafarians think?), no British accents, no pickup trucks, and NO skateboarding. Just because you like it doesn't make it Tiki. What, "Blade Runner" is Tiki cuz I say so? Playing Quake 3 Arena till I go carpal is Tiki cuz I say so? Fugeddaboudit! em.
