Hey Benzart! Glad you decided to check in on the Buzzmaster. Yes, as always, I had`few things to share with the TC world. It was kind of slow around here this weekend, so I decided to try and fill some of the tiki void we were experiencing. I want people to log on to TC and find new Educational, Enlightening, or Entertaining posts every time they are here. And if they cannot find those three E's, then they can come over here for my pretty pictures... Today's sunset in three phases Hey Duddy, here's some more of weed head. Kind of like a before/after sequence I was originally going to throw that piece of wood away. I was just testing a tool real quick, and after I started I just kept on going. Glad I stuck with it. I'm happy with the results. Tomorrow I'll slap a bunch of clear on it and show it as it is intended. For now, I'm going back into the garage to sand some more on the tiki I keep putting off finishing. Buzzy Out! |

Put some clear on my newest little guy: Awhile back I stated that I was going to attempt to become a "Tiki Guy". Since then, I've only managed to lose a couple pounds and I still don't wear mandals. So, I'm even further away from being a true tiki guy than when I started this quest. However, I think I may have turned a corner today. I noticed that a vital component to the Tiki Guy ensemble is a tiki pendant, displayed prominently above a booze built stomach with a hawaiian shirt backdrop. So, to proudly show that I am a true Tiki Guy, and announce this fact of my Tiki Guyness to the public at their first glances, I have constructed my first pendant, which I will now sport wherever I go, to back up my claim of being a Tiki Guy This last little piece was not a statue. I actually constructed it as a pendant. No crappy little screw either. A real carved pendant hook on the back. It's not a big pendant, it's just that I don't have a Mai Tai gut to scale it down. Now I'm going to make a fez from an old rum barrel... Tiki Guy Buzzy Out! |

4WD: That outfit is my Sunday Best. Speedo Saturday coming up...I have to get an early start on my tan this year. Sunset: After a marathon, I'm 98% done sanding this guy. I want to hollow out the back a little more so it isn't as heavy. I'm still undecided on the stain. Late? Early? It doesn't make any difference to me anymore... Buzzy Finally Out! |

Whoa, Tiki Guy....your bling is bigger than my bling! I don't know dude, old weed head there might also be able to double as a floatie....you should consider rocking him with the Speedo too. Nobody will ever kick sand in your eyes at the beach again if your sporting that bad boy. |

Absolutely perfecto work, Buzz. We're all jealous as hell. That stain is ace. I think in Canada you're an adult at 17. I grew up there, and we used to go believe it or not watch strippers and drink beer (not that weak Yankie stuff, "Brador" beer was like 6.5%) during lunch hour in high school! The Fireside Bar was a 6 minute walk from our school. That may be because we were pretending to be 18, though. The bartender and girls didn't care, we were often the only ones in the place. We also used to get hammered with our Physics and Math high school teachers on ski trips, they seemed to think we were adult enough to get slooshed with. We'd bring warm ski socks in our suitcases, they'd bring a full bar with 4 kinds of wine, an ice chest of coolies and mickies of whiskey. Their room was an open party every night of the trip. I don't think you could do that nowadays, but thank you Mr. Granville for that whiskey & soda. |

Anybody ever seen the movie "How to Steal a Million" with Audrey Hepburn and Peter O'Toole? Peter pretends to be a big time crook to impress Audrey. When the chips are down, he actually has to try to go through with a big heist at the Paris Nation Art Gallery. His plan is to sneak in with a boomerang, and simply keep setting off the motion detectors in the Gallery over and over until the guards finally write it off as a malfunction and throw up their hands in (French) disgust and turn the alarms off! To his astonishment, the plan actually works. He then simply walks with Audrey over to one of the paintings , picks it up and strolls off with it. The thing is, I kind of feel like that's what's happening with the House of Buzz thread here on TC. It's always being posted with new stuff, the same people hang out here like the local pool hall, and Buzzy is always on about something he hates (slow drying gloss coat, rain) or something he likes (sunsets, getting wood) that the Lords of Tiki Central have given up like those French Guards in exhaustion and - ANYBODY CAN SAY ANYTHING THEY WANT HERE! Nobody seems to check! I don't want to be the first to try it, maybe I'm wrong, but somehow I get this feeling. You can mouth off all you want here! Anyway, Buzz Dog, maybe you should take a break for a few hours or so. Relax. Carve some Spam for a while. Take a breather, Champ. |

Buzz, don't get me wrong, this is in fact the only thread I ever check out with any frequency on TC anymore. It's like taking an 18 hour 6-DVD set expert home schooling course in Tiki Everything. You are a master chopper! You get the gold medal in wood! I've just noticed that the rules seem a bit looser over at the House of Buzz thread, y'know? That's a good thing. It's actually taking on a personality of its own, seperate from anything else. You've custom-detailed your own thread. And that stain is the one. You found it. The ultimate Tiki color, no guff. Thanks for posting everything, sunsets and all, and being a good sport to dweebs like me! |

Dear Sunset and Tiki Fans: You can skip down to your stuff after all these words
We just have to make sure not too many people catch on. You know what happens when the hipsters take over a dive bar. It's a hipster bar that used to be a dive bar that now has a cover charge. And drinks go up $3... We all cheeer!! at House of Buzz when the sun goes down because drinks are 2 for 1 for the next half hour: Let's get to the tiki stuff now...
You got me thinking: This badass pendant may look tough, but it may scare the ladies. I want something like honey to attract all them sweet honey bees. House of Buzz: It's Ladies Night, Every Night. |

LIVE! - From the House of Buzz! This should be done....period. Dude, I think you going to need a side kick in order to make this concept a little more interesting...what about ole poochie there? I bet he would work for biscuits...do you think he would still chase the little school children if he had a grass skirt on? At any rate, you have to see if he is up to the "Tiki Dog" thing......I can't see how a "Tiki Guy" can walk around town without a "Tiki Dog" in tow. Hey, girls like dogs man...some Old Spice wouldn't hurt either boss. Oh Captain, my Captain.... |

Awesome pendant. It's what Flava Flave would wear if he were into tikis. You've taken the tiki pendant to the next logical step: tiki gangsta bling. Maybe you could put some CZ stones in the new one for eyes. |

Hiltiki, TDuddy, Conga, and Benzy: Thanks guys! Hope I can continue entertaining you with the tiki universe as seen through my eyes. The sun came out right at the end of the day yesterday I pretty much wasted the whole day playing with dolls yesterday. Eventually, I started to go insane and had to carve something real quick to stave off the demons in my head. All my wood was in the rain, so I dug the end piece out of the trash from my last piece. Sun's out, so's Buzzy! |
