Whoo boy, way to jump to conclusions. I am afraind you all have it wrong, you've got the cart before the horse, so to speak. Isn't it obvious? This guy isn't ripping off Sven. What we have here is the one man who created each and every one of those pictures & artifacts. Sven subsequently unknowingly documented his work. Truly a prodigious artist in his day, sadly it seems that he has hit upon hard times in his dotage and now wants to pass his secrets on to the next generation. I think the $50 is misdirection to mislead and winnow out the unworthy. Truly, if we want to properly honor our meta-tiki forbearer, we shouldn't be sending him $50, we should all each send him some hand-crafted tiki love-offering. And document the endeavor, on the website. That is how one obtains the blessings of the Tiki of Ultimate Abundance. |

JJ, Elderly women are commonly targeted by scam artists. The reason is this; Odds are good they are widows with little experience handling their finances as this was usually handled by their now deceased husband. |

Actually...I CONFESS: It was me all along! Posting this letter was an ingenious way of diverting any suspicions of me actually being the originator of it. I took one look at L. Ron Hubbard's career, and his income as a writer compared to his income as a cult leader convinced me that I was in the wrong racket all along. Screw writing books, I want the horn of plenty! (Ron Hubbard, for those of you who don't know, was a Science Fiction writer before he decided to found Scientology). Schlagermann, let's face it, you have been an American in exile for too long, and cannot "read" your fellow folk any longer! (This IS a different country then when you left it, but >oops |

By the way, Rebecca noticed the use of the words "flat" (i/o apartment), "fruit machine" (i/o slot machine), and "honour", which would seem to indicate the writer is from the UK. Cheekytiki? |

Why would someone pay $50 to gain the benefits from the Last Great Tiki of Unlimited Abundance when for $24 one can gain access to Tiki Central's Grand Ceremonial Forum of Mystery? There must be some hidden benefit that they do not describe in the flyer. I can see it now. All these old ladies sending in their fifty dollars, and then being mystified by the the special limited Shag Unlimited Abundance prints that arrive in their mailbox two months later. Vern |

$50?! For The Tiki of Unlimited Abundance?!! I see an opportunity here for Tiki Farm to undercut the competition! $29.95 -- with fiery red flickering electric eyes! |

It's a scam? I sent in all that money for nothing?? I want my torrents of unlimited abundance now, or there will be a "karmic imprint" on somebody's face! |

ROFL --- Getting at the Scientologists now? You've already offended the Subgenius, apparently. http://www.blogitude.com/dummkopfen/2006/01/10/tiki snicker I know that my grandmother, if she was still alive, would have bought this, no question. She had nearly a full century of rabbit-foot memorabilia --- from Grecian Puzzle rings to petrified black-eyed peas, and even a small, jade fat man posing as a Buddha (it was offered by some Reader's Digest advertiser back in the 70's, touting, "Rub the Buddha for Luck!" ... but not that plastic or the wood one, as those sucked). Despite being an insanely devout Southern Baptist, she felt that a little superstition never hurt anyone. :wink: | 11011011101110110 | [ Edited by: 112502 2006-01-11 07:27 ] |

I can't place your face, but your number is familiar... Hey, next time you see Stang tell him if he says "Should I know you?" to me one more time he will kiss my white cracker ass or I'll snap his pencilneck making him. :x :lol: Stang's just mad that he didn't think of it, and he's certainly lost some of his edge since we covered him in pink feathers & tossed him into the pond on X-Day...

Ha! Thanks, I almost forgot about this, it was a good one. I have the original filed away somewhere. Here's my text from page 1 of this thread that goes with these images. The above images go where the blue boxes are, I kept the boxes in the text for clarity so folks can see where these images went:
