I just want to point out that I never said anything about it being "tiki". And I am well aware of the "put some bamboo on it and call it tiki" phenomenon. I just thought that rather than making an ugly-ass stainless and concrete contraption, these people went ahead and made something that actually fit in with it's surroundings in Bali which in my book, warranted a mention on Tiki Central, a place where I thought it might be appreciated.

And I'll let others debate the scholarly aspects of it, but I can fully imagine something like this being situated outside the Mai Kai or some other "legitimately tiki" establishment, where I guess people would like the crap out it.

Gee, I wonder where TikiCentral gets that reputation for being snippy?

P.S. And I am aware of "ATM machine", but that phrase has unfortunately slipped into common usage. Try living here in Florida, where we have half a dozen "Lake Loch xyz"'s!
