tiki wonderland art show & bamboo ben mug launch! sat. dec.8th

My Guesses......

(A) How old is GROG's youngest brother? Grog doesn't have a younger brother

(B) If you subtract his age from GROG's age, what number do you get? 42

(C)How many ceramic Tiki mugs does GROG own? 150+

Thanks for playing Woohoo. I like your guess about GROG not having a younger brother, because
that is the kind of trick question GROG would put in a contest like this. But alas, GROG has 2 younger brothers, but we're guessing the age of the youngest.

Now 150+. Ravenne has set a bad example here(too much Koala crap in her brain). We are looking for a specific number. 150+ means GROG has more than 150 mugs. That's not specific. How many more than 150? Does GROG have 157? 200? 1,452? All of those numbers are 150+.

Maybe that's why nobody is tryinging GROG's contest. It's just too damned difficult.Squid's answers were WAY THE HELL OFF.

Alright people your answers should look like this (and these are NOT the answers, so don't repeat
these back to GROG and expect to win, that's the kind of uninspired joke GROG could expect from
Boris) No question marks(?) after your answers.

Example of how the answers should be:

A) 18
B) 9
C)100

Examples of how NOT to answer the questions:

in his 30s
Uh...maybe 7? 9? years difference
Around 25?
150+
under 500
more than 3
40ish
YES
Limestone
King Ludwig IV
and etc.

Grog ~ How many guesses to we get?? One per person or can we just keep guessing until someone wins???

Only one guess per person, but GROG will give Woohoo second chance since Ravenne confused things so badly and because you thought GROG might be sly and slip in a trick question.

CONTEST TIME

The winner will get this Simpson poster which will be signed
by the director (Chuck Sheets) and asst. director of that episode.

The contest will start tonight(Thursday) and end Tuesday night Dec.4 at
10:00PM. GROG not ship, so if you compete in the contest and win, then
you must pick up the poster at the Tonga Hut art show on December 8.
Or, if you're out of state or out of town and want to compete, you must have
somebody pick it up December 8 at the Tonga Hut for you and ship it to you
because GROG no ship.

HERE ARE THE QUESTIONS FOR THE CONTEST.
The person who guesses the closest to all three numbers will be the winner.

(A) How old is GROG's youngest brother?

(B) If you subtract his age from GROG's age, what number do you get?

A) 33
B) 8
C) 57

Tikisgrl

Ravenne & I cannot be the only Simpson's fans? Come on this one's really easy help Grog out & play... He doesn't want to let the East Coast Girls win, either of us! So get out your hunks of charcoal, answer the cave man's questions and win this awesome poster!!!

Seriously after this post, only ONE other person posts to guess? LAME.

This just makes me wonder who the hell is going to the Tonga Hut..? PEOPLE WAKE UP!

One guess per person is usually the norm---figured it was a given.

Don't worry, there will be people coming to the show. HEE HEE HEE. (Sly snicker)

OK, fine. You don't like my answers? Well I don't like your freakin' poster anyway! I'm gonna do my own bloody contest. Your contest is lame, GROG. So here goes:

If Squid is a sculptor and GROG is an animator, WHAT THE HELL IS HE DOING IN SQUID'S KITCHEN HACKING ON A CHUNK OF CLAY???

WHAT? You want I should offer a prize? OY!

Looks like I'll have to help you guys out with this one. One answer was very close, but GROG is not making ANYTHING. He is actually DEconstructing something. Here's your helpful hint: Look at the new issue of Tiki Magazine.

Can GROG guess? PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE. What GROG win if GROG get it right?

Thank you tikisgrl but no thanks or special favors . Lets keep it clean without resentments . Those Tonga Hut people can be a rough , rowdy bunch who could snap at any moment . Id hate for one of them to "Nut Up "on me and crack a Squid mug over my brow .I think grogs wife is the only other person who knows the answers . After all, she is the one who has to dust all his mugs . Besides for all we know grog could be a vampire and is really 217 years old .

Actually, it IS a trick question, because GROG was originally born 912,109,061 BC, but was frozen in a glacier in 912,109,080 BC. GROG was discovered and thawed out in 1982AD. So, do you count how many years GROG has been alive and walking/breathing, or do you count the years GROG was in suspended animation frozen in a glacier?

GROG saw Nick from Tiki magazine yesterday when he came up to LA to drop off some of the magazines at retailers shops and GROG got to see your article Suzy as up and coming artist. Nice article Suze. Congratulations.

Thanks Grog, and thanks Tiki Magazine! :)

I can't wait to get my issue!

Anyone else get theirs yet???? Any surprises???!!! Hmmmm????

I'm tellin' ya folks, don't miss the 2nd Annual TIKI WONDERLAND ART SHOW & SALE!
Saturday December 8th @ The Tonga Hut in North Hollywood.

Oh, my guesses for the GROG poster game:
Hmm. . .this whole 'unfrozen GROG thing throws a wrench into the math, but here goes. . . GROG alive for 19 years. Jerky younger brother pushes GROG into ice flow and steals his brontosaurus girlfriend.
Grog frozen, discovered and thawed in 1982-Grog get big into stock market, buy giant cell phone and Delorian, and then OD on Cocaine bender when shit hit the fan. . .in coma for years, then revived in 1986-just in time for release of Karate Kid II.

1. Younger brother= 17
2. Younger brother is = 912,109,004 OLDER than GROG.
3. GROG has= 0 tiki mugs.

The awful truth is he is just a lonely cave man looking for some friends.
He may lure you to his cave with promises of Tiki Rumpus Rooms and Mai Tais, but what you get is a stick with ants on it and a club over the head.

Hey Ladies, he's trying. . .

LOVE YA GROG! :wink:

I'm going to Hell for this*

IMPORTANT: I'll be there selling the mugs only from 7pm until 9pm as I've got other plans going on later that night. So be sure to show up during that time if you want to get a mug. Both Ben & I will be splittin' at 9 pm, so if you want him to sign it, be sure to hit him up before 9 pm.

CONTEST RESULTS FOR SIMPSONS POSTER
Thank you SQUID, RAVENNE, TIKISGRL, WOOHOO WAHINE, TIKI-RAY, SUZY,
RON-TIKI, DAVES NOT HOME, and LITTLE LOST TIKI for taking part in GROG' contest.

Answers for GROG's questions were:
GROG youngest brother is 33.
GROG 44, so 44-33= 11
GROG have 67 ceramic mugs

Contestants answers were:
SQUID a) yes b) limestone c)King Ludwig 4
RAVENNE a)33 b)11 c)28
TIKISGRL a)33 b)8 c)57
WOOHOO a)35 b)7 c)160
TIKI-RAY a)29 b)15 c) 62
SUZY a)17 b)912,109,004 c)0
RON-TIKI a)37 b)7 c) 45
DAVES NOT HOME a)1 b)2 c)hut,hut,hut
LITTLE LOST TIKI a)38 b)8 c)73

Contestants answers were off by:
Squid a)33 b)11 c)63= 107
ravenne a)0 b)0 c)39 = 39
tikisgrl a)0 b)3 c)10=13
woohoo wahine a)2 b)4 c)93= 99
Tiki-Ray a)4 b)4 c)5= 13
Suzy a)16 b)912,108,993 c)67= 912,109,076
ron-tiki a)4 b)4 c)22= 30
Daves Not Home a)32 b)9 c)67= 108
LittleLostTiki a)5 b)3 c)6= 14

So we have a tie between Tiki-Ray and Tikisgrl whose answers were
both off by 13. However---- GROG did state early on that you had
to come to the art show to pick up the poster or have someone ship
it to you because GROG not ship.

Tikisgirl is out-of-state.

Tiki-Ray will definitely show up at the Tonga Hut art show to pick up
the poster, so GROG give the poster to Tiki-Ray. Congrats Ray, and GROG
hope your son enjoy it.

AND, since Tikisgrl was the first (and only one for awhile) to guess and
also encouraged others to do so, GROG will give Tikisgrl a poster also.
(GROG has another one and it is signed by the director)
And GROG will even ship it to Tikisgirl in Lowell, Mass.

Tikisgrl, send GROG a PM with your address so GROG can send you
the poster.

Merry Christmas and thanks for taking part in GROG contest.

[ Edited by: GROG 2007-12-05 00:28 ]

great contest Grogger.. your rock counting class really came in handy...
Now for this project Grog got myself involved in...
here's a sneak peek at the Ben Neck charm... and it is charming...
I like this comment about the mug

really like the streamlined sculpt,
but i wish the mug was more a reflection of what ben does. <
so i took another approach to the sculpt....this is it's shape...

one could wear it like this

or if you are feeling particularly surly or ornery, then you might wear it like this

maybe if you buy a Ben you get a Holden FREE!

I'll only be making 25 at most of these Ben objects but if you are interested i may take orders on these

Don't forget to let me know if you want some of the great imports i now have... as you will not want to pay shipping on them


http://www.tikimania.com/docs/CrazyAL_Holiday.html

and there are only SIX!! Tiki#80 Edition 100 Mugs left! if you've put this one off, then now is a good time to get one 'buy' paypal'n me now and picking up at Tonga.
http://www.tikimania.com/docs/ALmug80.html

now, should i get to work on any of these??? in the next three days??????


less then 3 of any of these on the planet at this time. If you want one i will make it...

Let me know.. [email protected]
