What do you consider an expert? ( is there such a thing in Tiki? ) Is it one who makes tiki and sells it or one who makes tiki and keeps it for their personal use? ( or both?) Also, are you talking about Real Tiki, or that New Tiki Look? Just curious.

Pirooz, Do really mean "tikis" (carved statues of Polynesian idols) or "projects of an area improved, created not with the help of an expert," meaning a tiki bar/tiki room, from floor to ceiling, chock full of tiki goodness? I get the impression from your post that you actually mean the latter. That is, there's not THAT much involved, "fun story"-wise, about carving a statue (enough upon which to base a program, that is). "And now let's watch as Gecko picks out a log.......OK, he's picked out his log and he's loading it on his truck.....Now that he's home, watch as he unloads the log from his truck....." Of course, watching Crazy Al as he rhythmically whacks on one onstage with Ape is another story, but I don't quite think that's an episode on HGTV. Well, not a TYPICAL episode. But it's certainly one that all of us around here would watch!

Benzart! Crazy Al is a great carver as well, but hodadhank, maybe you should post a picture of his Tikis... rather than him in his exotic underpants... Just maybe.

Aloha Boutiki! Sorry to disappoint, but that's actually a photo of Frank Zappa (the source of Badmojo's signature quote). While I've never actually seen Crazy Al and Frank Zappa in the same place I'm pretty sure they're two different people...whether one owns a "real poncho" and the other a "Sears poncho" being unimportant, but what baffles me the most is how you know what Crazy Al looks like in leopard print Jockey shorts!

Also, are you talking about Real Tiki, or that New Tiki Look? Just curious. Anyone who made a tiki room qualifies, as long as the room is their own. In other words, they didn't make it for someone else. We are looking for tiki rooms not just a single statue. I will check out the 'Creating Tiki' forum as suggested. In the meanwhile hit me with some pics, if you think your tiki rooms got what it takes for telelvision. Best, Pirooz lwid@wellergrossman.com
