Dear bananabobs.. yes,you do. Tho in most dealings with artists they would require a 50% deposit (non-refundable) and a 3-month grace period to complete a sale and turn it over to the artist.... Let's take for instance,this piece.. Let's say.... that a person put a $20 down payment for it at... let's say... a Damon's Tiki magazine release event in December,for instance... First off, in a real world artistic transaction a $20 down payment would hold it til the end of the event where the patron would rush to the ATM and pick up the piece at the end of the show... If it were a 50% down payment,said patron would be able to call dibs on the piece and have 3-months to complete his/her purchase... If said balance was not paid,the artist keeps the down payment and is able to put the artwork back up for sale.... That's usually how it works! The problem with these kind of transactions is that it takes the piece out of a "selling loop" where it remains in limbo on the "couch of awaiting" near the door in the studio awaiting shipping/pick up/etc... Now, as the artwork sits,it also may increase or decrease in value,depending on the artist's present condition which then means,said artist has a piece of artwork in flux,doing nothing but sitting on the "couch of awaiting" and awaiting the patron who may or may not still want the art... (this happens a LOT in this business...) Fortunately for you, Mr. bb, while working on my time machine i accidentally engaged the device and flipped into a parallel dimension where the above rules don't always have to apply... As i try frantically to re-appear in this dimensional reality week after week your $20 is still safe... But once i teleport back into this present space-time-dimensional reality all deals are off! and i will sell that piece at Oasis for $20 MORE than the asking price at Damons and cheerfully refund your money as well as laugh loudly at your misfortune :lol: pm me man! :)

Dear LLT, This was Kuwahine 'o'opa's very first post on TC, which is an important milestone in a person's life. Why would anyone want to pop their TC cherry on THIS thread when there are so many GOOD threads they could post on? Even the New Members Introductory thread (http://www.tikicentral.com/viewtopic.php?topic=6&forum=1&start=2790&2804) is a better place to pop your TC cherry than asking LLT a question.

And he loves to share his opinion with everyone! Why not start off right and get his blessing before you go off muddling around in other topics and make a mess of things, perhaps step in a lava flow (like I did when I first started) just to have to backtrack and come back here to ask him what you should do to clean up the mess? :lol: "We share because we care."

On 2009-07-03 09:17, Kuwahine 'o'opa,the newbie queried: I'm considering a new career. Should I be a sedentary cross matcher, a chainsaw operator or a hoof and shoe inspector? Dearest Kuwahine 'o'opa, First off-Welcome to Tiki Central We hope you enjoy your stay! There really isn't enough information about you to answer this question correctly... Some of the factors about choosing the proper career: We always gravitate towards that which we love. Something we would do for free Something we do for free on our time away from work Something that engages us and fuels our interest Something we're capable of doing-physically and mentally (example: my dream is to train baby manatees to jump thru hoops of fire, but my allergic condition forbids it....) Also, in order to fully assess a fine career we must consider our: Age weight height IQ skills that enforce our choice appearance (how fine one looks in that occupation's uniform...) conversational skills charisma Among many others.. But...Since this is a Question and ANSWER thread i would suggest you try your hand at being a sedentary cross-dressing cobbler who inspects hoofs and shoes for the Chainsaw industry... Good Luck with that! :) On 2009-07-03 11:16, GROG chimed in (because he has nothing better to do since his niece lost because of his vote scandal): Why would anyone want to pop their TC cherry on THIS thread when there are so many GOOD threads they could post on? Ernie, I would be willing to bet that our new member has been lurking around Tiki Central before making the plunge and posting their first post... I imagine that the first choice would be a GROG thread but after seeing that all he has to offer are: Niece Voting threads Birthday Wishes an amateurish split personality disorder (Ernie /GROG) Embarrassing drooling over the ladies Tonga Hut events and a lukewarm comic full of stale jokes in Tiki magazine :lol: Kuwahine 'o'opa appears to have dropped the ZERO and went for the HERO... There are TONS of great threads out there but maybe this thread was the most compelling.. I hope that answers your question... Now get back in the corner! i have a question for you.. How was that Bigfoot show on the History Channel last night? Wasn't able to tape it.. :( Kiki-thanks for your kindness and support.. You will be rewarded with 2 pictures from my punk rock/jarhead days in the "Post pictures of yourself when you were young and good looking"thread.. in a few moments... Keep em coming Ohana you ask and I'll answer! :)

Also, I have a rash that appears to be spreading, it doesn't itch, but the oozing puss leaves stains that don't wash out. thoughts?? Thank you tiki-riviera for that thoughtful question... It IS bad manners to kick ANYONE in the hindquarters even if they deserve it. But then there's the "tough love" question.... If said booty-kicking was brought about to help said kickee change their ways gain motivation and personal betterment and become a better person with the talents they were born with then such a response would be appropriate.... bad manners,but appropriate.... kind of a psychological intervention... Often, the kickee will take the attempt (to prod one towards betterment) in the wrong way which would explain the rudeness but hey! You can't make that delicious omelette without cracking some eggs or in this case... kicking some butt! :) as for your medical condition.. Contract and liability agreements keep me from answering your latter question... please seek medical help as soon as possible.. and thank you for your questions!

Sincerely yours, tok-tok First off You should know NOT to watch that film there is a fine line between spirituality and mystery and that film explains none of it in a logical fashion.. (at least not to the truly educated) Contemporary spiritual people forget that their "new found journeys" are just a retread of the same old path... it's funny how people will try to nullify other's faith Especially if it is labelled "religion" by stating their personal (and often catered ) spiritual view... intellectuals and self-proclaimed spiritual individuals seem to have a way of demystifying the mysteries of life of trying to figure them out instead of appreciating their power and beauty... I mean ,look around.... I like to think that there's a Creator and all this wonderment isn't left to chance and the slim promises of evolutionary theory... Faith is just that It cannot be explained... if you think about it.. Quantum Physics and Religion both rely on Faith and both can support and nullify the other..... individual and group consciousness can influence the material world,this documentainmentary states and one can believe that.. look at World Wars ... but to treat it as some force that can be tamed is nonsense another example of trying to gain influence or enlightenment the easy way.... so,dear tok-tok,to answer your question "what the bleep do we (k)now?" Nothing! Every mystery unravels into 10 more! Approach each experience as a child Suck in all the beauty or power of any given moment Do that and growth is never too far behind... just always remember that,in the scheme of things.. we know absolutely nothing.... Thanks for that philosophical question tok! hope this helped...
W woofmutt Member Seattilite Telstar Joined: Mar 26, 2002 Posts: 2639	W woofmutt Posted posted on Sun, Jul 12, 2009 9:00 PM Dear Liloti, Last night at a party I met a guy who thinks you're really great (no, it wasn't you). He said he met you on a trip to Califusa and you're one top notch super cool major dude. As I'm a first class jackass just like yourself I'm wondering: What sort of hypnosis did you use on this poor guy? I've mastered most of the major manipulative hypnosis types (Forensian, Deep Unconscious Distraction, Monkey Fist, Forced Focus Set, etc.) but nothing has ever worked like the voo-doo you pulled down on the guy I was talkin' to. He had stars in his eyes and I think he even called you "Lord Liloti" once.

He had stars in his eyes and I think he even called you "Lord Liloti" once. woofy... great question and one that most so-called "charismatics" keep close to their chest.. (Rasputin,Jim Jones,Idi Amin,Julius Caesar,Manson,JFK-they never revealed their secrets...) But, seeing as this thread is ASK ANYTHING,the question must be answered honestly... 1)Neuro-Linguistic Programming... works for politicians. New Age gurus,Spokesmen,Cult Leaders,Salesmen.. and yes! even artists! the beauty of it's influence is two-fold... because it not only influences behavior but also reinforces that with an emotional change in the "mark". 2)i don't wear a hat... hats are distracting. Why listen to a person when you can look at their hat? Lose the hat... unless your bald. then they'll just look at your head.... Candy! Always have candy ready available left pocket sugary candy-preferably hard candy in a wrapper butterscotch/mints/etc. right pocket that NutraSweet diabetic candy (it's always good to add an aspartame-laced candy to an individual especially before a sale,or if you want to make your point very clear...) i think this last one is the most important... Smiles and Laughter... Have Fun! Think of a conversation and interaction as not only a means to exchange information but as an amusing game,something to keep you busy and interested in the present conversation while revving you up for the next rube... Laugh after every sentence.. Extract funny-sounding words and repeat them back to the conversant. Acting like you understand everything they say completely and utterly also helps... Mix all of this with the Tiki Crowd's propensity to drink large amounts and you'll have the little dears eating NutraSweet out of the palm of your hands buying your artwork and thinking that you really care! Good Luck! Hope these new techniques and Helpful hints allow you to Rule the Great Northwest!

Keep us all updated on your progress... and drop the Forensian hypnosis you're waaaaay above using that method!

TJP Tiki Joe's Pop Member Seattle Joined: Jun 01, 2006 Posts: 523	TJP Tiki Joe's Pop Posted posted on Wed, Jul 15, 2009 8:53 AM Dear LLT- A few nights ago, I met a guy at a party who had none but the gravest words to say about you. To be fair, I met this man three years ago, and his first words to me then were insulting and shameful, but I digress... I mentioned to him that I appreciated the banter you and he carry on within "Shout" and I was rewarded with a verbal slew of rants and tawdry comments. I fear for your well being as this man unleashed a barrage of declarations like "I'll learn 'im" and "he'll get his come uppance" and my personal favorite, at least a half-dozen "Oh YEAHs?" I laughed after every sentence, I left my hat at home, tried to appease him with candy, gave him a small soliloquy about the misunderstandings of Idi Amin, all to no avail. I'm afraid he misinterpreted my "piss-yer-pants" fear with something akin to stars in my eyes as I managed to whisper "Lord, don't hit me." I'd hate to bring out the old "monkey fist" hypnosis on him the next time we meet, but fear I just might have to! Whatever shall I do? yours etc. TJP

Whatever shall I do? yours etc. TJP My dear TJP, Thank you for such a thought-provoking question! First off,you must understand... some people are more tolerable in print than in real life then you must prepare yourself mentally for defeat.. the candy didn't work? well I'll be.... This individual is impervious to candy... hmmmmmmmm... the gentleman you describe sounds like the typical classic case a sufferer of that malady.....Drunken Genius. Anyone who can bust out with a "he'll get his come uppance" in one sentence and "Oh YEAH" in the next is obviously having an inner-battle between the genius half (which moves decisively,quickly,and accurately) and the drunken/male half (which is slow.boorish,and syllable stingy) Have no fear tho this gentleman offers no physical threat only mental akin to a psychic vampire Simply act courteous,nod a lot and spend no more than 7 minutes near this person and you'll be fine.... I laughed after every sentence, I left my hat at home, tried to appease him with candy, gave him a small soliloquy about the misunderstandings of Idi Amin, all to no avail. the reason your tactics were buffeted tot the ground was because you APPLIED ADVICE before it was GIVEN! Whenever one taps into future direction or advice BEFORE IT"S PROPER TIME-RELEASE it usually does not work.. Odd little glitch in the time/dimensional order but that's the way it works...

I was advised (long ago, my kid is now 18!) that you can induce labor by using "nipple stimulation" or having sex. If you can manage it at this point in time. Apparently it works, according to many doctors. However, I also do not condone making that sweet baby show up before he or she is ready to face the world!

I promise not to interfere with answers in the future. And I'll try real hard not to offend people, but . . . well . . . sometimes it just can't be helped! :lol: I do have a valid question now. Why is it that my sewing machine needle always breaks at the most inopportune time? It's always such a hassle to fix it whilst right in the middle of a crucial part of a project! Is there a divide by zero complication? Thanks for your insight, Your pal, KvT

For her final project in her summer class, she has had to come up with a theme, then design and create a mock-up interior for an elevator. Because she's surrounded by tiki culture all day long in the shop, what else would she design but a tiki/mid-century modern themed elevator! Here's the trouble..she has to name this project. I told her that I know just the one to ask. So, Oh Great, Creative Liloti; what would you call a tiki/mid-century modern themed elevator that the non-tiki/mid-century world would understand? Much mahalo for your kind kokua, Pua P.S. - Seriously; this project is due tomorrow!

Is there a divide by zero complication? Thanks for your insight, Your pal, KvT Thanks for participating on this thread in a proper fashion! :lol: The reason a sewing machine needle breaks or tires go flat or pants fall off or breath goes bad at inopportune moments is because these events,whenever they happen AND are noticed are at inopportune times... If they happened during opportune times the event would be glossed over and forgotten... Oft times...these events happen for a reason.. and that reason is to MAKE one STOP and REFLECT... Our subconscious will sometimes notice a problem before the Conscious Mind does... So it's simply a matter of the subconscious affecting an object in the Conscious present to call your attention to it....

P.S. - Seriously; this project is due tomorrow! My dearest Pua, Thanks for the pressure! i have pondered,not only the name,but also the creative laziness/last minuteresponse of a first year interior design student to a project.BE PREPARED-that Boy Scout's motto has done me well these past few centuries. One of the main skills to learn when designing,is to come up with a name DURING the designing/mockup phase. This way ,one can relax and rest on their laurels after a project is finished...Also,with a name, a theme can be molded to further fit the theme/name. here's what i do at work... get a sheet (or pad) of notebook paper) Buying a sketchbook for all your ideas will eventually help keep them all in one place.... next..find some Tiki?Hawaiian/Polynesian terms and write them down write a few words describing the elevator at the top of the sheet then just write EVERY name or word that comes to mind After it's done,grab a hi-lighter and mark the strongest ones... Whittle it down til you get 3 NOW it's time to ask others..because it's the "normals" who run this world,so it's good to hear their opinions on such matters. Smile and thank them for their help and then PICK THE ONE THAT YOU LIKE THE MOST! Hope this helps for the NEXT project.. As for today's name... PELE-vator 'Eleweka (Hawaiian for Elevator) Tikivator Maluna Malalo (Hawaiian for Up and Down) the Flying Hut the Rising Room Push Button Paradise the Cannibal's Cube Hit the Ground Then Come Around Room Kamehamehavator Tropicelevator.. unfortunately,with work beckoning,this is all i could come up with.. Hope this helps! Tell me how the project went later! :)

The project is, indeed, done. All that was needed was a name. You have provided that nicely, as I knew that you would! I will run the list by her and when she chooses, I will inform you and send you pics. I had no doubt that you and your brain would come through. Mahalos! Pua
