Rotisserie chicken container from the grocery store - reminded me of this:

My friend sent me this picture of some industrial equipment he found in Colorado:

Buzzy Out!

This is the kinda thing that drives me crazy in antique malls.

Perhaps this "Darth Tiki" was an inspiration! Looks like a Tiki with a "flip" hair-do! LOL

Saw this decal on the back window of an SUV yesterday, when it occurred to me how Tiki-ish it truly was...

That central thing above the entrance kind of looks like a Ku... (If you look fast and have some tequilas in you.)

Zeta, you are clearly on Tiki withdrawals...

Always looking for tiki...
Or tiki looking for me?

When you glimpse Tikis in something in the corner of your eye, but when you look intently, it is gone, you are looking too hard and need a Tiki-break. I speak from experience. :)

Blasphemy!

Zeta You Rule... check it out!! the object that is made of purely decorative elements is a perfect proportional representation of the most famous Ku ever found in the Bishop museum!!(museum pic is shot at worm-eye and is skewing correct proportions)The uncanny stance alone is mind blowing I love the chest cavity which resembles more modern proportions of the cartoon age of tiki. Big Bro needs some better tiki glasses!
Great job!!

here is one found today in SF by band mate, base player. Lane

"Drowning Moai". Nice!

My husband works in a machine shop and a new tool came packed in this! Everyone noticed it, even non-tiki types.

I think 3:0anything looks like a tiki!

Mop in my garage looks like a rootball tiki. Okay, maybe not quite, but close!

Lego Tiki Bar...

That's cute. I can just hear your kid saying; " Hey, Leggo my Lego" as you try to grab those tikis.

Should make those moai snap into the lego flooring

Crazy Al, I jus don't see it. Sagauro Central.

Box flap.

Appropriately this tiki face was on a Libby glassware box from 1970 that had held a martini set in it:

Neither weird or strange but seemed moai-esque...

Coming back to our room at the Bella Royale from Wangs (Palm Springs) I was feeling Pretty good cuz I was able to snag two of their green fu man chu type mugs.Thought I saw a tiki hiding among the palms;

Yup,here he is;

While I'm on the subject,there's a couple of real Ku's I see each time that I take my dog for a walk. The resident at the house these guys guard is not a tikifreak but he is an artist at the Disney Burbank studio. He said that his co-workers gave him the tikis, I forget what the occasion was. They are about 15" tall and are mounted on brick columns on opposite sides of his driveway. Although made of concrete they are showing some weathering which was of some concern to the owner.He's one of those guys we hate cuz there is not a blade of grass outta place on his property. Of course I hinted that I would take them off his hands should he decide to get rid of those nasty old Ku. Notice that at first glance the tikis appear to be identical. There are not so subtle differences in the two.
Cheers

At Lake Merwin Campers Hideaway in SW Washington...about an hour north of Portland/Vancouver. Tiki is in a space across from my hosts' place. Owner has never been there when I've been there, so I don't know the story.

He was outside of the Lagoon Room right before the Femme Fatale Follies at Tiki Oasis.
