Thanks, all.....especially you bama.

Let's see if we can push this stalled thread a bit farther down the road before we leave it completely abandoned on the side of the road....

Another bit obscure reference (still leaving the other Big Fish....hint....TV....hint,hint.... in the barrel):

2-5 (1908): Birthday of Moon Lueg. Founder of the tiki restaurant "Moon Islander" in Titusville, Florida and the chinese restaurant "Moon Garden" in Fort Pierce, Florida.

Link to TC thread: http://www.tikicentral.com/viewtopic.php?topic=26860&forum=1

So, here's what we've got so far:

1-12 (2000): Founding Day of Tiki Central
2-5 (1908): Moon Lueg's Birthday
2-22 (1907): Ernest Raymond Beaumont Gantt aka "Don the Beachcomber" Birthday
4-28 (1961): Opening Day of Tiki Ti
7-31 (1970): Black Tot Day
8-12 (1921): Wally Turnbow's Birthday
12-28 (1956): Opening Day of Mai-Kai

Anybody else??

P.S. by the way, the book I referenced above, "The Art Of Mixing Drinks", lists today (10-27) as "First mink bottle opener appears". Do you really want to celebrate that? Cmon! We can do better.
