HOLY GRAIL (for me) FOUND: Cleveland Tiki! - General Tiki

I am working on this theory that in the 80s a invisible gaseous cloud lowered itself on America causing what I'd like to call The Great Consensus Tiki Forgetting. Only a few escaped the effect, just like Auguste Ciparis, who escaped the destruction of his Martinique town when Mount Pelee blew up because he was locked in a dungeon, even though it's exploding Rum distillery set the streets afire with flaming rum...but I am digressing here. I was spared this effect because I came from a foreign country, but others were so struck with Tiki ignorance that they started to tear down Tiki temples and renovate them. My experiences with showing innocent citizens pictures of Tikis in the early 90s made me arrive at this theory. The reaction was always the same, the subjects seemed to dimly remember Tiki sites they had been to, but were not sure if they had dreamt about them or if they had really existed. It was as if the aliens that had built the Easter Island statues had come back to earth to erase the memory of the cult... Your story, James, proves that the human mind never forgets: You did not SEE the Tiki elements, struck by the 80s GCTF, but your subconscious registered them, and (maybe in resistance to alien programming) they worked on you slowly. In short: Your obsession of having to visit and catalog every Tiki Bar in the United States was all caused by being denied to SEE the one Tiki Bar of your youth, and now you have found it! You have come full circle, you are healed! ...BUT, since old habits are hard to brake, don't worry, you will still search out the Tiki and it's habitat.
