So THAT'S the Shecky that everyone has been referring to! Now it all makes sense (well, sort of...) I knew I'd seen it before somewhere - Sven sent me a sticker with Shecky on it and the phrase: "Less Virtual Reality, More Ritual Virility" If Shecky is the Tiki Central mascot, is this then the Tiki Central motto?
T tikifish Member Toronto,Canada Joined: Mar 25, 2002 Posts: 2720	T tikifish Posted posted on Fri, Aug 30, 2002 9:57 AM There was much debate back in the day whether or not that was our motto, some liked it, many didn't understand it. But it survives on the stickers! I thought it was a great motto, and still do.

I think of Tiki Central's motto as "Open 24 Hours". I like it quite a bit, though I don't understand it.

Your little sarcastic jabs are annoying. You should change your name to "NEGATOR" instead of "woofmutt" or possibly check into some anger management. SHECKY RULES!

TW Trader Woody Member Tiki Manor, Forest of Bowland,UK Joined: Mar 25, 2002 Posts: 2301	TW Trader Woody Posted posted on Fri, Aug 30, 2002 12:37 PM I find Woofmutt's little jabs quite refreshing, even when aimed directly at the spine. TikiCentral would lose a lot of it's bounce if it all went Happy Clappy or Moist & Musical. I agree on the Shecky point, tho'. Trader Woody

Not too worry, if we do all go happy clappy or moist & musical I have some doctor friends...put us back right as rain. Their fees are cheap as chips, too. London & Dublin in spring '03? I hopes! midnite

T thejab Grand Member (1 year) Tradewinds Apartments, Alameda, CA Joined: Mar 25, 2002 Posts: 2992	T thejab Posted posted on Fri, Aug 30, 2002 2:08 PM It seems lately that a lot of members are becoming offended easily. When one posts an opinion like "I don't like that mug, it's ugly" or "let's stick to the topic", it's never meant to be personal and one shouldn't feel like they are being attacked. Forums like this are for discussing things that we don't have to all agree on. If everyone agreed on everything then it would be a boring world. "Can't we all get along?" has been asked so many times here. Hell no, we can't always get along because everybody's different! I don't see a problem with that. When one reads a post it is often a mistake to assume the author was in any particular mood when they wrote it or that the author is trying to show an emotion. This is a common trap people fall into on the internet or in email. With some people their sense of humor really comes through in their posts, while for others it's not as easy for them to be funny. I don't think woofmutt meant anything personal against bigbadtikidaddy. He was just trying to be funny in his own way. Now that I'm through rambling I'll throw in my 2 cents on the lamp. I'm not a big fan of "big teeth" tikis so I don't really like it. This is my opinion, no matter how unpopular it may be, and I mean no offense to anyone, especially Shecky. It's just my stupid opinion!
TW Trader Woody Member Tiki Manor, Forest of Bowland,UK Joined: Mar 25, 2002 Posts: 2301	TW Trader Woody Posted posted on Fri, Aug 30, 2002 3:56 PM Fuck 'em if they can't take a joke.... But not really.......I truly doubt that anyone here has malice in their heart. Read the post and if offended, read it once again. There's usually an element of a tongue in the cheek, so don't get too hot and sweaty about a post. Eg. - I'm convinced that a significant part of my British humour goes down like a lead shit in a Chilean well, but dem's da breaks, eh? Trader Woody

I like it quite a bit, though I don't understand it. When I added "OPEN 24 HOURS" to the graphic I was viewing the graphic as a sign to a bar. Bar neon, acting as a beacon in the night to the weary traveller, calling them to the only Tiki Bar in the world that has members frequenting it at all hours. Unlike other bars, Tiki Central never closes. It's open 24 hours a day. ~Hanford
A aquarj Tiki Socialite SF bay area, CA Joined: Apr 02, 2002 Posts: 1125	A aquarj Posted posted on Fri, Aug 30, 2002 4:37 PM About "Open 24 Hours", I also always liked the motto on that socal googie flagship Norm's - "We Never Close". But I know at least one person who thought that meant "We Will Never Be Closed Down", as in, torn down and replaced by a Fridays or something. Hopefully Norm's won't suffer the same fate as Ship's and all the other googie greats! -Randy

It could be better I think. Kinda looks like a kid glued there Tiki toys on someones lamp. __ ^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^ Mad-TiKi
T tikifish Member Toronto,Canada Joined: Mar 25, 2002 Posts: 2720	T tikifish Posted posted on Sun, Sep 1, 2002 9:50 AM Whats wrong with gluing your toys on a lamp? Now, it's whan you start eating the glue, then you have a problem. Anyway, I don't expect it to be bought by the Smithsonian. It's just a bit of electrical fun, that's all.

Plus, Tikidaddy doesnt have a fly 'stache, a sailor hat, bee-atch boots or those nutbuster tights. Still, the resemblance is uncanny.

M mrtikibar Member Neskowin, OR Joined: Jul 07, 2002 Posts: 837	M mrtikibar Posted posted on Tue, Sep 3, 2002 2:06 PM Getting back to Shecky and Tiki-taste, I agree with the opinion on "big teeth" tikis. They just seem a bit goofy. And yes, there are alot of opinions out here. I probably am in the minority in my opinion about most Witco stuff but I really prefer the beachbum look to the batchelor pad look. All that leopard-skin and dark, carved woodworking brings out my inner negator.
