peace in the middle east....

....and a bunch more tiki shit.

...The Benzart Mugs and Pendants to be released!

I don't know if these are things I can get on marketplace , but I want to trade a painting for a carving.

I want about 10 new customers for my "special organic product"
I want someone to install the 8 track player in my 64 bus
I want a big pile of columnar basalt to build my waterfall
I want some people to help me develop the museum
I want to sit by the ocean in one of my favorite places (short sands, Oregon)
Then on top of all of that I want someone to hang out with

...An unending supply of okolehao

...to discover the crypt of tiki, where uncle Stan put all that crap he got when that tacky place closed...

...tikis so massive you can't make out what they are unless you look from across the yard, but then the palms and bananas obscure it...

...a fantastic regular tiki get together with just a handful of fans and friends where we talk story, drink the drinks with the little umbrellas and show off our latest finds.

...Crazed Mugs II: The Ultra Obscure TC References Mix

...Crazy Al's energy and talent

...Holden's energy and organization

...Bamboo Ben's energy and talent

...Squid's talents, all of them

...1/10th of Benzart's talent

Oh wait, I can buy the products of those talents. Then just make it piles of cash... and okolehao

-Good Health for the Ohana!
-An Ohana Hut Ive been #1 on the waiting list for 3 months

...for there to be more direct flights between San Jose and Redmond, OR.

...more aloha wear... always, more aloha wear

...to find better-organized postcard bins at antique malls

...news reporters to finally learn that tiki does not automatically equate to "kitch" or "tacky," and can actually be quite elegant

...to have a few unexpected, serendipitous tiki discoveries in the midst of my already blissfully tiki-packed life

...to someday have enough money to hire Tiki Diablo to come and deck out my home in tiki goodness

...to learn all about someone who played a role developing golden age tiki from their son or daughter who happened to be Googling their family name (I love it when that happens)

...for Tiki-Ti, the Mai-Kai, and all my other favorite old time classic tiki joints to have yet another stupendously successful year of operation

...for Forbidden Island and all my other favorite new-but-still-classic tiki joints to continue disproving the "you just can't open a quality tiki joint today" myth

...for all the 'Ohana Huts to make their way to their new homes safe & sound, to be enjoyed for many years to come

...to find a Mainlander tiki mug, with all the paint intact, for like five bucks at a little antique mall set back on a dusty road in the middle of nowhere.

...for the band at the Tonga Room to, uh, be given an offer they can't refuse to play somewhere else, on the same day that Waitiki comes to town looking for a new, permanent gig

a real tiki joint in Worcester County (or a time machine).

all the troops home safe.

all the Starbucks (who don't want Bamboo Ben to tikify them) to burn to the ground.

I'd like-

-My DH home safe & sound from Iraq sometime this spring (he leaves for his 4th 'trip' Jan. 2nd)
-to figure out a place in the sunroom to hang my pufferfish lamp
-a humidifier for my orchids
-to design the perfect tropical garden for a marginal climate & to have it be beautiful by summertime
-a visit to the beach (Topsail Island, NC, where I grew up)
-& a black pearl necklace (which I would get only if I had that winning lottery ticket)

What I received for Xmas-

-a large TV, to occupy my children
-a wireless router, so we can use the computer & Xbox live at the same time
-alot of tiki stuff I bought for myself
-some quiet time at home with my family (my kids are in pjs for 2 days straight now)

Mmm, I hate to be a thread killer-my DH shipped out recently, & to occupy my time, I'm tikifying the sunroom-got the humidifier for my orchids, a cute monkeypod table off ebay, some frames from IKEA for my Flounder prints, & some shelves to put up tiki mugs. All I want now is for the cats to stop throwing up on the rugs...LInda

Whats a DH and my cats throw up just a few days ago, whats up with that

a DH is Dear Husband (or I can think of other suitable acronyms..) & my animals (I have 2 cats & a dog) seem to love to challenge me-I just got a new bedspread, against my better judgment, my dog loves to lay on it & lick & chew his foot (he has allergies),there's always a big wet spot in the morning (he also gets me up at 1:00 a.m. to go out in the yard & pee)...Oh well, I still can't imagine life w/out my pets (sort of like having kids)

thistle,
Thoughs are with you & your DH who shipped out! Bless all our Ohana serving the U.S. of A.

I want SHAG mugs that ain't busted :D
-First Limited Edtion Shag Tiki Mugs.
