GROG you will pay for making light of my Marine Corps Special Unit Parade Dress! Our motto in Nam was "Death thru Dancing!" You will also pay for giving Kirby your sweet affections! I thought we had something going that was good and right and true!!! And now! Reduced to making out with Senor Amarillo in one of Squid's Used Autos! Oh the shame!
And Grandma Boris...You even come near my truck and I'll rip your Kevlar Squid vest to shreds! DISMISSED!

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!! More Marine pic's!

BTW Squid, do you think there will be any cowboy tiki mugs with a kitty's head at the flea market? I have looked everywhere!

Lookin' good, Kirbs.

GROG was wondering if Holden is actually going to explain why this Marqo Pollo mug is made by "Señor Calamar" and why does it have a 2005 date. GROG knows the story, but Holden asked GROG nicely not to say.

Squidster, GROG thought you said you got rid of all the riffraff. Sheesh!

GROG is impressed with your subtle, yet effective, advertising as well.

About the event,

will there be beer or bacardi silver electric lemonaide, or is it all those nasty mixed fruity cocktails?
do I have to dress tikki or can I wear my church clothes (just got new suede elbow patches for my biege corduroy dress jacket)
is the jukebox any good, i like some old school R&B when I am drinkin (Boyz 2 Men, New Kids on the Block, Etc.)
I hope you guys are all cool, I don't want to get bored

TIKITANKED SEZ....

I hope you guys are all cool, I don't want to get bored

No, sorry! Ben is kinda cool, but in a creepy kind of way...... GROG,Kirby and Squid and all the others are unfortunately.....are POSEURS! But we love 'em anyways! :)
This thread don't need a Ruzic derailment! Seems to be doing fine on it's own! Can't wait to see Ben's "Angry Inch" live and in person!!!!!! I think it would win hands down against GROG's "Tinymite Dynamite"! :lol:

GROG hope we have SOMEBODY show up for this thing! This thread probably did more to scare people away than to get them to come. We'll see the 3or4 you who are brave enough to show up tonight!! Good luck!!!

P.S. Don't park behind the businesses west of Tonga Hut, or you might get towed.

[ Edited by: GROG 2006-12-16 10:14 ]

Grog- You still buying drinks for those of us that pee on Ruzic's truck???

Hope everyone one has a blast, family emergency so we have to skip out. Next time, will hopefully meet most of you in the future.

P.S. Tiki Diablo, if you have a marquesan mug left please hold it for me.
Thanks

Senor Calamar!

More to come.

Last night's Tonga hut Tiki Wonderland/MugWarz event ended in tragedy last night as Senor Calamar attempted his patented
"FireJuggle Great White Body Slam" during a heated match with TikiDiablo on stage....

Grog's Chair got set on fire and GROG immediately ran in fear dragging the flaming furniture throughout the building and setting the place ablaze!

Patrons quickly exited,but only one door was unlocked...JeffBigTikiDude commented, "It was like a Fire had started in the Building!"

It was consumed in minutes....

Many of the participants,including the Beloved Bamboo Ben, who was changing into his costume in the dressing room at the time of the tragedy....
Here is the last known picture of him....

Also lost in the conflagration was Tiki Ice,who was found at the doorway in a puddle!

It is also rumored that Polynesiac may have had something to do with locking all the exits! When reached for comment, this was his only response....

Also lost in the fire was Senor Amarillo aka Kirby (above left) who was last sighted attempting to pee out the flames! His girlfriend Polly appeared to have survived the blaze....(Call me Sweetheart! :wink: )
The main suspect GROG the animal, was last spotted with a mysterious beautiful girl in a polka-dotted dress earlier in the evening....He may have also have perished in the blaze...

Also the criminally insane Bora Boris is also involved somehow....
The whole Tiki Community is saddened by this tragic event....Senor Calamar visited the sight earlier this morning and was found writing Memorial signs and Prayers for the families of the dead.

December 16th is a day that will we from now on refer to as the "Great Tiki Tonga Hut Fire of '07"...
They will all be missed! Stay tuned for any further news on victims and survivors....
We're starting a relief fund for the victims' families and the survivors in the hospital!
Send all cash and checks to either myself or Senor Calamar and we'll see that they are used properly... :lol:
