With all due respect to Sven, he didn't invent it, he doesn't own it” In many areas people are seen as authoritative figures or maybe experts on a subject and the way you get this title is to study that subject, maybe write a book or even teach the subject, Sven has done all three so he’s one of the authoritative figures that often define tiki. Also I have not talked to Sven, I do not say this with any other motives other than I believe Sven to be a authoritative figure and a reliable source to set guidelines for what tiki style or a tiki bar is. In fact I think I would do better and maybe have gotten more press with a different authoritative figure than Sven as I don’t think he really likes me all that well. Best I can tell is your tiki drinks are.... "My wife likes two parts 7-Up or Sprite, one part orange juice, and a splash of peach schnapps. For pina coladas, we use a mix, with "I'm Bananas Over You" Original Bartenders Cocktail in place of rum, and a splash of Amarula." "As a Goth I can criticize Hot Topic not merely for it's existance, but because they sell ugly clothes and bad music" So you get to label judge and Be the fun police when it's Goth? What is Goth? is it Emo and vampire with some punk mixed in? Where do you buy the good Goth clothes and is there an authoritative figure or definition of that style. Was into punk in the late 70s and we just wore any old clothes. "As a Steampunk fan, I can criticize the LXG movie not simply because it exists, but because it was a bad movie and a travesty of the comic.." “Why? With all due respect to EnchantedTikiGoth, you didn't invent it, you don't own it” Damn more fun police, You. "You're shifting the goalposts. We were talking about Tiki culture in general, not the specific rules of Tiki Central" WRONG! I was talking about a guide made by Sven posted on TC By Hammo. You are talking about "tiki?" and anything that will whip up $hit. I do have to say that I like the fact that you have your opinions and make them known and hopefully you me or others can come up with our own ideas of what tiki is or is not. It's a lot better than sitting back and not saying a damn thing.
