I'm TikiGuy,long time listener, first time caller. I am like Pablo, the penguin who hated the cold. Yet I am addicted to universal health care and satisfying my wife's desire to stay near relatives and current friends. So I have found a way to indulge the tropical guy in me...tiki. In another post I postulated on the foundations of my newly-fostered tiki obsession. I think they were all valid seeds in the insidious awakening of the tiki in me. But I forgot a place that comes as close to 'my-first-tiki-bar' as possible. Club Cedars near Belleville, Ontario. It was a bit of south seas, a bit of a fire-trap and a lot of a teen-dance-club where the smell of testosterone and Polo mixed headily. More often than not I just stared at the dedfunct waterfalls and marveled at the half-working opening ceiling thinking, "I wish I owned this. It's like Gilligan's Island in Canada." Well, this past Sunday my first step towards "Guy's Tiki Garden" (a basement tiki bar) began. I bought my first tiki mug at a yard sale for 50 cents. Let the games begin!!!! BTW, I am TikiGuy because my name is Guy and, well, shucks, I like the tiki. |
