I'm not a Parrot head, but it's funny how you see on TC some guy go "check out my new tiki"
and ya see some Indonesian mask looking at you.
I find that just as ugly, but people here for the most part give that a pass.
Now don't get me wrong I'm not into the buffet style myself.

Then you go to some tiki events and bam the same goofy, loud, drunk Parrot heads everybody hates
are at this tiki event but they got better shirts on and are tiki heads. (Maybe it's an Ohio thing)

Even had a guy from TC who PMed me to say he got a Steve Crane tiki mug for FIVE BUCKS! "That's Right FIVE bucks!" he wrote.
Well I had to see what he got and looked it up on eBay, It was a PARTY CITY mug that the listing said was
a Steve Crane tiki mug, the thing is this guy did not look at it and go "wow that's ugly"
So because TC said this was the mug to have, he had to have it.

I too like the old school more low key version of tiki myself.
But that is getting hard to find.
Getting old I guess.
