Oriental Trading Co. files for Ch. 11 Bankruptcy

I just took this from my local paper, but our favourite purveyor of cheap party wares (cheap, crummy tiki) may be going belly-up.

Maybe they'll have a close-out sale?

Yes, I know what they sell, but some people buy it.

Oh please let it be true...I never want to see this guy again:

I wonder if this has anything to do with former(?) owner and his $127,000,000 gambling losses in 2007 - a Las Vegas record!

YIKES!!! I first read your post and thought to myself $127,000 is a Las Vegas record? Then I added another column of zeros. HOLY CUNUNDRUM!

No wonder the Tikis were cheap...that is some serious dough to loose!!!

I liked the plastic tiki party cups they had. I never have to worry about my friends getting too drunk and smashing my real mugs. lol
