One of the columnists in the SF Chronicle, Leah Garchik, has a regular feature called "Public Eavesdropping" where she presents a quote overheard from someone in the bay area. Here's the one from Monday the 16th: Man talking to female companion, overheard at Target in San Leandro by Jessica Robbins: "When did tiki become so popular? It's freaking me out." |

"Don't forget to feed the tikis." I sort of stole that from Shag. He signed my copy of Night of the Tiki "Keep the tikis fed...Shag." I think it emcompasses the whole obsession, whether it's spending an hour dusting all the mugs or spending too much money on them. I just keep feeding the tikis. |

"No tiki for you!" This was actually said to me by an older Cantonese gentleman as he made somewhat of a show out of escorting me out of his business and away from his family. The whole quote was: "You offer too low; you put me in poorhouse. No tiki for you!" Once outside and away from his family, he accepted my offer. I don't know if he ever watched Seinfeld. |

Last week, while sitting on the lanai of a beachfront condo in Kona, drinking a mai tai and perusing a book on Don the Beachcomber, I made a note to memorize this quote of his: "If you can't come to paradise, I'll bring it to you." In a different vein, Hunter S. Thompson in "Curse of Lono":"I am f---ing Lono you pervert pig-f---ers!" |

One year a day after my birthday a co-worker asked my what I did to celebrate. I told him i went to Trader Vics! He said-oh, we have one of those in the shopping center by my house. He was thinking of Trader JOES! He must have thought I was a REAL party animal by going to a grocery store to celebrate my birthday!!! |

A guy was telling about when he relocated from New York to somewhere in the South. His first day on the job was his birthday and he asked his new coworker where he could get a beer after work. The conversation went like this: Q. "Can you recommend anyplace around here to get a beer?" A. "The Piggly Wiggly's got beer. Q. "What kind of place is the Piggly Wiggly?" A. "Just a regular place." Q. "Do they have music?" A. "Yep." Q. "What kind of music?" A. "Oh, just regular music." Unable to drag anymore specific info out of his coworker, he decided to check out The Piggly Wiggly that night, even though the name sounded strange. The beer was next to the dairy aisle and the entertainment was muzac. |

We call that person who has lost his father, an orphan; and a widower that man who has lost his wife. But that man who has known the immense unhappiness of losing a tiki, by what name do we call him? Here every language is silent and holds its peace in impotence. |

"The one who dies with the biggest tiki collection wins!" :tiki: :drink: :sheckymug: ...and for KCtiki regarding your piggly wiggly post, I had something simmilar happen to me. When I was living in Michigan City Indiana, I was looking for some dj records. So I went to a small store that only sold rap/hip hop type of music to see if they had any. I asked if he "had any vinyl" and he said "no, we don't but there's a place 3 blocks away that does."
