Question for the experts...

Would this item be considered "Tiki?" :)

Maybe not, but it's way "Gobbler"!!!

maybe if Hanford, Tiki Bong and Sven were laying on it?

This item would be considered.."dirty" as in "filthy dirty"

It would also definitely be Gobbler.

This looks like a cool item that needs a serious cleaning and disinfecting. When and if you go look at it and it smells, Iwould just turn around and run the hell out of there.

Make a mold... replicate it, then burn it!

It looks like a biohazard to me. Hmmm, I wonder how many "adult movies" were filmed on this? Hey, maybe it has collector value based on the famous people who may have used it! Quick, call CSI to run the DNA samples to confirm its collector value...

A friend sent the link and the first thing that came to my mind was Austin Powers baby, yeah!!! I knew it needed to be shared here. :)

Ok, so...I'm not hep to your lingo! I admit I am way out of it! WTF does "Gobbler" mean...I found these definitions online and all three scare the hell out of me in how this word "might" relate to this very old, very dirty, very round bed. Someone please, enlighten me here :-?

**Gobbler (noun)

• a hasty eater who swallows large mouthfuls

• turkey cock: male turkey

• A slang term used to describe an extremely large and stretched out female labia, sometimes saggy and droopy that it looks like a turkey's gobbler.

Thanks in advance ~ the terribly unhip and a little freaked out DawnTiki

Looks tacky not tiki. And I don't mean tacky in the sense of bad taste.

Round bed with stains....$200
Bottle of Rum......$20
Eight Track tape......$5
Definition #3 for "Gobbler(noun)".....Priceless

For everything else, there is Tiki Central.....

Ooooh! After seeing those beds I now want to build a 2/3 lifesize copy of Stonehenge & cover it in shag carpeting. Shaghenge!

Will it be 18" x 18"?

Where would you purchase round sheets for a round mattress? On that same line of thinking, where would you buy a round mattress?

I Googled "round bedding" and found lots of places that sell them.

Ikea sells a round bed...not nearly as lovely as those in The Gobbler however. Sheets also available.

(oh, what I'd do to have the red room!!)
