My addiction began in my teen years hanging out with a gang from the wrong side of the Pacific. It started off with what seemed like a harmless plate of spam and rice. Next thing I knew I had a small pile of slippahs outside my shack door. I was stealing away in the dark am hours in hopes to snag myself a few choice waves. On the road trips up and down the coast, as we passed liquour stores, bars, hotels, and apartment buildings with the polynesian/oceania/hawaiian theme. I would think to myself wouldn't it be cool to live there. Well as I grew up and began to assimilate into society I would have tiki binges......Taking a date to Sam's seafood for the show. Picking up the occasional mug or hapawood tiki and hiding it away in my closet so the girlfriend du jour wouldn't ask me "What are you keeping that tacky ugly thing for?" (My wife still says this, but at least she doesn't ditch them on me) For the longest time I believed that I was alone, that I was sick. Then I found Tiki Central,......and I realized that I was not alone. Thank You Tiki Central.
