So I'm flipping thru channels last night and I come across the Stars and/or Encore True Stories channel. I saw this painfully acted, made for TV mini-series called BLOOD & ORCHIDS (I think) that tells the story of a 1937 crime in Hawaii. There's a scene where Kris is having a Mai Tai and invites his love interest to have one as well. They actually make a big deal about it, "They call this the Mai Tai, I'm usually a whiskey drinker but, blah blah" etc, etc....

And then it hits me, the Mai Tai was invented in 1944 (Vic said so) there by making Mr. Kristofferson a dirty stinker in Trader Vics' book.

ah crap, I guess this is evidence of my pure geekdom. Much like in The Simpsons when Homer (the voice of cartoon dog "Poochie") is asked by the Springfield nerds about inconsistancies in Itchy & Scratchys' plotlines.

Ah Crap! I'm making it even worse by making Simpsons references. Someone please help me. I'll quit rambling now.

anyway, incorrect representation of Tiki on TV or other media.

Discuss...
