Mmm......urinal cakes. Oh yeah, watch out for Kirby's yellow shave ice, it's NOT banana!

Just wondering, does the Blue Hawaiian cut down the 'minty flavor' of the cake? just wondering...
or is that combination one of those required things, you know, like milk and cookies... :lol:

GROG posted on Fri, Feb 23, 2007 12:00 AM

It's like milk and cookies, the urinal cakes give the Blue Hawaiian that extra minty "zing".

Speaking of ZING, GROG getting thirsty just thinking about having a Ginger Flame on Saturday.
Suzy the Drink Goddess serving up the drinks at a tiki bar once again!! It's been too long. We'll all enjoy getting to see THIS again on Saturday:

(Although, that's ACTUALLY a picture of Suzy GETTING a drink rather than SERVING a drink, but you get the idea.)

No! GROG did NOT lick a smurf, you bastard!

Grog, I've never seen Papa Smurf look so angry. I hope you set him free after that picture was taken.

Mmmm, donuts...are they home made?

GROG: enjoy your cookies and milk...or is it cake and blue hawaiian?

Whoa, Dejavu.

Plenty of TCers will be there Thors. Just make sure you don't park next to Ken Ruzic's truck. That's Kirby's favorite palce to relieve himself.

See everybody tonight, now GROG off to see a screening of The Simpsons Movie this morning to see whether or not this damned movie we're busting our ass on is any good. GROG signed a confidentiality agreement not to discuss the movie, so don't get GROG drunk tonight and ask alot of questions about the movie and then post them on the internet you bastards!

All ye who come to the Tonga Hut tonight, keep a wary eye out for the birthday boy!

[ Edited by: GROG 2007-02-24 17:25 ]

Hey Kids!

Looking forward to seeing you all tonight!

A last minute drink change-
Due to a nationwide shortage of Macadamia Liquor, we will not be sampling the Mauna Loa cocktail this time around.
BUT I still have PLENTY of great drink recipes up my sleeves,so no worries!

Mahalo!
Suzy

still sounds good. last night we went to the tiki shack grill and bar in Glendora, they have a " full" bar but "DO NOT STOCK RUM". they offered us a marg instead.

T

Aloha!!

Sorry I missed you guys...I hope it was fun!! I was there..but WAY too early! Hearing Happy Hour was starting at 4:00 I presumed it was like Waikiki Style where we start the Mai Tais as early as possible!! HAaa I got there at about 6:30 and stayed till my date was neeeding food before she passed out so I had to leave at around 8:00.

Cool place!!! We sat at a table and had to really BEG for service..but I guess it was because Suzy had not gotten to the bar yet. I will try again another night..the atmospeher and music was very timeless and enjoyable. I had a Zombie that was good..the Mai Tai's were a bit weak but again..maybe it was just that it was early and the night had not really gained momentum.

Anyway.....hope to be there the next Tiki night if I am in Town!!

S

OK me first!
Revue of Tiki Night at Tonga Hut:
FUN!
Met even more nice folks!
•JenTiki and Todd
•AlohaCurrent and Mrs. Aloha
•PiPhiRho
AND got to hang with a bunch of the other wackos to which I have become accustomed.
Sorry we missed ya Thor!

GROG's drink suggestion of the Ginger Flame was spot-on! Another Atomikitty miracle potion consumed to the slick analog grooves of DJ Lee.

Had to bail early due to exhaustion and food coma but looking forward to the next Tiki Night at Tonga Hut!! Thanks to all for a swell evening and for showing Mrs. Squid's sister a good time.

Oh yeah, and Happy Birthday Kirby! Stop using the Slim Jim as a swizzle stick.
It ain't Kosher!!

Now bring on the embarrasing photos...

J

Wow! What a great time! I'll go into more detail when I post my pics when I get home in a couple days. But for now, I just want to thank everyone who made me feel so welcome with the SoCal crowd! Even my un-tiki friend had a great time (once we were able to replace the key I broke off in his car door ... ooops!) I hope to see you all again soon!

Had a Great time! Meeting Jen & Todd was a highlight (hope that key in door didn't hold ya up all night) Happy Birthday again Kirby! It was fun seeing all the regulars too! Thanks again to Trader Tom, Ileane, John(dibroc)& Paula. The Pizza dinner it was fantastic but the least they could have done was to stick a umbrella in my spumoni don't ya think?

GROG posted on Sun, Feb 25, 2007 1:37 PM

Yep, Thor you left just before the masses piled in. The place was PACKED!!!! The Tonga Hut sold a few drinks last night, that's for sure!!

Yup Man I hada Blast had to leave on the early side wife was tired but it was kool . Cya all the best Tyger

Great night! It was wonderful to see the Tonga Hut packed on a night with no art show or other event than just a night to party. Always great to hear DJ Lee spinning his eclectic mix of music, too. And what an added bonus to have Suzie behind the bar again. Just like the old days at Lucky Tiki except, bigger! More room to move around, although after a while it got so crowded that moving around was difficult, too.

Tonga Hut has that look and feel of a vintage tiki bar. The new owners have preserved that well in their restoration. After all we have lost in the last year, it does my heart good to see the revival of the Tonga Hut going so well.

WoooHooo! Mucho Mahalo to The Tonga Hut Crew for putting on another Tiki-rrific Event. Soccer Tiki and I are already looking forward to coming back in March :)

T

Hey Everybody!

Thanks for partying with us on Saturday night! It was great to see the Hut hoppin with so many tiki enthusiasts. Thank you so much to Suzy for being our guest bartender and to DJ Lee for spinning. I also have to thank my staff Trevor and Myriah for an awesome job. Hope to see you all at the next Art Show!

Mahalo,

I was wondering why you two kept sneaking out together. I guess now we know! You make such a cute couple with the matching glasses and goatees!

It turns out that on that same night, Hollywood was preparing for its own little awards show. We drove past part of the red carpet on the way home. Note the smaller Oscars in full body condoms at the bottom left of the picture.

Thanks again for a great night everybody! I couldn't find a single "Hoity-Toity" in the whole bunch of the SoCal TC Ohana that I met that night!

Had a great time at the 1st Tiki Night at the Tonga Night! Here's a few of my pictures.

The Ginger Flame in the Prize winning FI Mug (compliments of JenTiki)

Look at those babies all in a row!

All the way from Sacramento!

The Doh-Nuts!

Squid is going to teach that donut a lesson!

Grog squaring off with his.

The Elusive Steve. Nice pendant - real ivory!

Grog and SoccerTiki -- Look No tongue!

Okay, I just wanted to show off my new purse and mug.

And of course, one of Kirby's stools!

Um, I was there too...how is it that I didn't see a single one of these people? Was I in a time warp? Where is my beautiful wife and family? This is not my big automobile!

Is there some other Tonga Hut in another alternate universe where Suzy bartends and I don't see anyone I know? I got there at midnight. Got the flyer for the next art show, spoke with Atomikitty, had a Ginger Snap and saw no one.

I was at the Lava lounge earlier that evening, had a couple of Cosmopolitans, watched an enchanting mod band called the Modlins, then some heavy rock-n-rollers came on stage and me and my roommate decided it was time to hit the REAL party at the Tonga Hut.

Only I passed through a wormhole somewhere and ended up in the THE TONGA HUT IN THE PARALLEL WORLD!

Hi to everybody I apparently missed. See you all at the next gathering, unless I pass through another time portal and end up on the other side of the mirror.

Mahalo Suzy, email me about that show on the 16th, I've got a hot painting to reveal to the mug collectors of the world.
