Well, how did this happen? Is the tiki revival finally news-aggregate worthy?

Stefan Beck wrote a little article for the HuffPo, complete with some pictures of what one may describe as a "tiki party."

That's a lot of tiki in one summer. Has the Huffington Post caught the bug?

How did your tiki passion get started? And what's that weird bowl that your grandfather gave you?

I come by it honestly, I suppose. The Red Cross Blood Bank informed my father that he has a blood factor usually found only in Pacific Islanders. My mother went into labor with me performing "Hawaiian War Dance" whilst watching Sha Na Na. And being raised Jewish, I spent many hours in old-school Chinese-American restaurants, a hotbed of tiki drinks. So when I was gifted a four-pack of tiki mugs in college, it was really fulfilling my destiny. Overdoing it followed.

That bowl is an authentic kava bowl, from the Marshall Islands, I believe. It's used to mix a mildly hallucinogenic tisane made from kava, a cousin of the pepper plant. It tastes, as my grandfather reported, like dishwater.
