helped to influence and "mold" the look of the
Contemporary Tiki Mug Movement today....
Not many folks really grasp the whole body
of Sir Cohen's work....here is your Opportunity...
Over 200 mugs...

I'll be in the parking lot selling slingshots for $5 apiece

Is Sqruzik pronounced "Screw-zick"?

yes it is Jason!
Squids wanted to print up some matches for the show's advertising
but the cost of more than 1-color and time to print it got in the way,so it was dropped...
however, it WAS SUCH A GREAT CONCEPT that it had to be taken to completion!
hence the SQRUZIK (Squid/Ruzic) INDUSTRIES moniker.....
You're a veritable Eagle Eye GI Jason!

Damn it! !#@1//#@8*!!!!

I've got plans on Sat. 9/20 that I can't get out of. I'm so bummed!

We of the Hula Girls band are going to try and make it there as a group, to support our favorite Exotica band, and our friend Squid.
Every single performance of the Tikiyaki orchestra has been a smashing success.

This is the band that should be headlining Tiki oasis next year.

There is a really cool show in Vegas that night,
but I am going to stay right here and support the best Tiki Band around.

Of course the Smokin Menahunes and Hula Girls,
Martiki Kings, and Ape are way up there in my book too.

But Tikiyaki is the shiznit.
if you haven't heard them yet,

Glad to see that the T.O. is making you less of a phantom. :D

Here it is. The Squid List, as I have been calling for all these weeks.

I want to thank all the swell folks who are allowing us to borrow pieces of their collections. (Names and heaping piles of praise to follow...)

Holy cats!

Come on Kate, is that all there is. This guy has to much time on his hands. WOW!! that's crazy what a achievement. Thx.

this is the show.don't miss it!!! great job on the list kate.

GROG think it's a miracle that a man with NO EYES can be such a prolific artist.

Unfortunately, GROG think if you spend too much time around him, you might catch what he has. Poor Bai.

Boris, GROG warned you to keep your distance from Squid!

[ Edited by: GROG 2008-09-06 11:25 ]

Sabu used to have eyes until Squid started living in the same house.

Polly found out the hard way what happens when you hang around Squid---so long eyesight!

[ Edited by: GROG 2008-09-08 09:21 ]

i guess the "eyes" have it!
:lol:

Boo! :lol:

And Grog, yer insane. :D

Yer right, Grog. Even in the DAYTIME, your theory holds up. Ah, reflection, you fickle mistress! Rock on, Dave!

Ya know what Grog...I think yer kinda right...

except for the last 2 photos! we got eyes, but not Dave :(

We usually have to put a "Seeing Eye Dog" in our Gig "Riders, so that he can find the stage.

"Hello Cleveland !"

Looks like Crazy Al had contracted "Squideyes" as well.

It's not just the glasses blocking his eyes. Here we can see him from the side without glasses in the way, and clearly,
Squid is eyeless. Maybe since Squids swim around in the deep dark depths of the ocean, they don't need eyesight and have evolved to where the eyes are mere slits, and almost worthless as far as sight.

almost as worthless as this bad excuse for Comedy that GROG's been tormenting us with.....

:)
that's so you know i'm joking....
:lol:
that's so you know it's funny!

GROG not doing comedy. GROG pointing out facts.

Well.......
the facts are now OFFICIALLY DISPUTED!
Squid does have eyes!
I'm callin SHENANIGANS on GROG's theory!
here's Proof!

i see at least ONE eye open here....

and here's a picture of Squid with some bald old lady
with his OTHER eye opened...

Here he is with Mr. TikiFarm himself
at least ONE and a HALF eyes opened...

Side View..
i see an eye open...

and this last one has BOTH eyes open!
Undisputed Proof!

I am officially calling SHENANIGANS on Ernie's theory!
thank you for your time....
:)

That's pretty good attempt LLT, but we all know that you Photoshopped eyes onto Dave. GROG can do the same thing.
Here's a picture of Dave with Crazy Al's eyes.

still callin'
SHENANIGANS!
:lol:

no frankenstein treatments in the photos i posted...
original and untouched...

SHENANIGANS!

WooHoo!! Only 6 more days :)

Here's Squid with eyes open
