Index fingers got alot of use this night.

A bald bastard and a bearded bastard.

A number of photos got taken that night. Everybody else must have posted them on Facebook.
Tonga Tom as photographer.

Thanks for the photos GROG!
I'll bring your poster tonight.

Thanx Tom. C U 2nite.

2 Drooling Bastards were inducted last night. Here's a few pictures. GROG add more later.

GROG not want to know what Sherriyaki was discussing with Jason, but she was heard saying "and it's THIS thick!"

Apparently it made Tom and Kris a bit uncomfortable.
"Well... uh... hm.... I think I'll check my phone....yeah... um....this drink needs some ---uh....stirring."

Amos was celebrating his birthday and getting inducted into the Loyal Order of the Drooling Bastards.
He had to finish 5 drinks that night to be inducted.

Tom, is this how you got your nickname "Tripod" or does it have to do with something Sherriyaki was talking about?

Great haircut and great monocle.

GROG like Amos' hula shirt.

Laugh it up, Buttercup.

Some guys were a bit speechless about Sherriyaki's revelation.

Heylownine wasn't too impressed about Tom, seeing as how his nickname is "low-nine".

Val ordered a a drink from Lisa-Marie. She said "make it a stiff one."
Sherriyaki had everybody inspired and in awe.

Actor Brent Sexton was there, but he was too busy chatting up his lady friend to give a damn what Sherriyaki had been talking about.

GROG tell Sherriyaki the whole bar heard what she was talking about.

Another batch of pictures from last night.

GROG photo bomb Val's photo GROG was taking.

Roger is the first of the night to be inducted into the Loyal Order of the Drooling Bastards.

Great photos and captions GROG!

Thanks Tom.

Last batch.

Dapper looking dude with an really nice beard.

GROG have no idea what's going on here.

Amos already had his plaque for the wall.

2nd person inducted that night.

John 3:16 (actually it was more like 8:30 or 9:00 at that point.)

and he got a.....

limited edition white Big Mo Tonga Hut mug.

Tobunga looks worried.

Maybe because he thought GROG might steal away Manuel.

Rounded up all the Bastards for a group Drooling Bastard shot.

Eric's stories always put Manuel to sleep.

Preparing the cake for.....

Amos' birthday.

GROG not pass up a chance to get photo with pretty blonde.

Tom discussing "size" again. Don't worry Tom, Sherriyaki told us all about it already.

Here are our new Bastards Roger and Amos from 2/17/2013.

Amos came prepared with his plaque made by Wayne-Tiki-Tiki

The family that drinks together becomes Bastards together (almost, June and Rex still have a few more to go)

Great photos Tom! Thanks for being the Prom Night photographer. It was nice to toast the Bahooka's last night with a "Rufus".

I had stopped by on the way over to the Hut see the "Closed Forever" sign.

DC

That's what I call toasting in style! A great little substitute gathering for the non-event at the real place.

Cool photos Tom - "prom" and "regular".

It was a fun, if bitterweet, evening. Walking in and seeing the Bahooka sign set the mood from the start.

Happy Birthday Tom! Leave it to Eric to rock out a custom hat :)

Love the Hut!

A milestone for ZTL...making it to Tonga Hut!

I already promised the ladies that I will be the DD because they are always more fun on the podcast after a drink or two or three. Let's see what happens.

Are you actually doing a podcast episode at the Hut?
If so ... :)

Yes! Podcast and Shenanigans.

Excellent news!

Can't wait to test out our new little microphone. And wouldn't you know....it's called the TIKI

GROG looking forward to seeing Kitty Chow and Fisherman back at the Tonga Hut on Sunday. Here pic of Marie mixing up great tasting drinks this last Sunday.

Going to try to make it down for the events on Sunday. I JUST found my Rhum Rhum Club passport and need to catch up on my stamps!

This Sunday at the Tonga Hut!

Kitty Chow and Fisherman!

Yup..will see you fine folks there on Sunday.

I need to make a dent in my LOTDB list too.

Going to be a great day at The Hut!

Kitty Chow coming to perform for GROG at the Tonga Hut, YAY!!!

(The rest of you are invited to come too to enjoy the show.)

See ya'll in less than an hour!

The always entertaining, multi-talented Kitty Chow and Fisheman.

Kitty Chow confess her undying love for GROG, but GROG have to explain that GROG have too much love inside for one woman to handle. It break her heart, but she understand.

Boris holding court.

A brief pause to pose for a picture.

Then back to Boris' discussion.

The elusive pair of Atomikitty and Adam. One second they were there...

...and then you blink, and they're gone! People swear they saw them. If GROG hadn't gotten photographic proof, GROG might not have believed them.

KrisDrama wearing a fan.

GROG miss Tiki-Kate

Thanks GROG,

I can never have enough squinty and hammered pictures of myself. :roll:

I tried to fix it and now I just look creepy, it's a win win situation. :lol:

It was a great day/evening at the Tonga Hut yesterday beginning with the Rum Rhum Club and ending with the always awesome Kitty Chow and Fisherman. Here's a few pictures I managed to take.

Going "Off the menu" with a Polish sausage quesadilla, I was very happy with the results. :)

Kitty Chow meets Atomikitty, I call this picture *** Atomikitty Chow! >'.'
