Knowing that I would not be able to leave the enormous swells, not even for a moment, I decided to take my lunch out with me (Spam on rye). Suddenly, as I was waiting to catch the next wave, I noticed a large dark shadow lurking beneath me. Right then I knew that I was on the menu of a great white shark. So I paniced... and I did what any sensible 16 year old would do.... I threw my spam sandwich about 15 feet away... Now everyone knows that spam is the number 1 food of chioce for GWS's (and surfers for that matter). So, while the beast was going for the potted meat... I had enough time to swim back to shore. Whew.... I was lucky that day.

And to paraphrase James Teitelbaum... "There ain't no tiki in New Orleans." LOL. Actually, I think I said "There ain't no Tiki in Cleveland"... ...and while I am tempted to say it's true for N'awlins too, well, YOU'RE there, PJ. Maybe there are no Tiki Bars in the big easy, but your cool pendants and frequent TC postings remind us that the spirits haven't forsaken the swamps of the south entirely. There is Tiki in New Orleans as long as you are there.

Um, yeah...that's what "paraphrase" means. (And actually you did say something similar about N.O.) But thank you for the rest, my skirt is chock-full of sunshine now.

Suzy~ I would guess probably not... Yeah, they do have "Polynesian" in the name, and after looking at their Photo Gallery, it looks like they have a nicely stacked....er...um...I mean stocked bar, but the bar doesn't seem to look very Polynesian or tropical to me. Their calendar of events for August & September are only filled with "LA Hardbodies" contests and "Martini Madness"...hardly, or I should say, not very Polynesian to me. I'm sure the owners won't change anything if they are getting the constant crowd that is pictured in their gallery. It's probably a good Mardi Gras/Girls Gone Wild location. Stop by next time if you can. Maybe there are some hidden tikis? See if they can mix a Mai Tai. You can report on it in the Locating Tiki Forum. Even a psuedo-tiki location needs a report so any of us traveling know whether or not it's worth the stop. Good eye though in catching the sign and name while driving by.

S suzywong Member New Orleans Upper 9th ward Joined: Feb 22, 2003 Posts: 161	S suzywong Posted posted on Mon, Aug 4, 2003 2:21 PM Hi SugarCaddyDaddy, I noticed those pictures in the photo gallery. I didn't check the schedule, but must confess, I read somewhere they had a a "lingerie night" Shudder..... Perhaps I will break my Puritanical code and go in one day. Actually, I have heard their ads on the radio. And considering they are in the "Warehou$e District, well, they have sand!!! Maybe there is a tiny tiki with it's eyes tightly closed facing the wall in protest, waiting to be rescued?

What do we call these places? Fratiki (Frat - Tiki)? No, I don't want to sully the holy word Tiki mixing it with the anti-Tiki itself: Frat. Knuckhead Luau? Too clunky. Any ideas for a convinient word to clearly classify these places? Constants: Girls who shout "woooooooo"! a lot, especially when doing a mostly booze-free shot. Pineapple and grendine "mai-tais". Lack of Tikis, few that exist afre colorful and cartoony. Worse: a "party-animal" tiki mascot. Techno, hip hop, or classic rock DJ. dB level above 100 (technical term for: TOO LOUD!). Bikini contests. Sticky concrete floors, easily hosed down.

S SugarCaddyDaddy Member Huntington Beach, California Joined: Jun 03, 2002 Posts: 1500	S SugarCaddyDaddy Posted posted on Wed, Aug 6, 2003 2:53 PM WABETIES (wah-bee-tees) "WAnna-BE-TIki-EStablishment" The sound of this word sounds more like an African word rather than Hawaiian~Polynesian word, but all the more reason why it would be a good name... African is to Hawaiian~Polynesian as Polynesian Joe's is to The Mai Kai. Each is very distant and non-comparative to one another in every aspect. And one will NEVER be like the other! Say it with me now... "WABETIES...WABETIES...WABETIES...WABETIES..." Just my 2 coconuts worth.
