Once again, I turn to the collective knowledge of Tiki Central. This time I was wondering if there are are truly classic quotes about any element of Tiki? There's no 'Little book of Tiki Quotes' and I'm not going to create one, but the lack of classic quotes that you can trot out is a shame. Any ideas? Create yr own?

I think Mig and Hanford had a few classic Quotes at the San Fran crawl.. if ony any of us could remember them... And surely there are some lines from the Brady Bunch or Gilligans Island that may be appropriate. I wish I could remember the posted house rules at the Hala Kahiki in Chicago, I remember themn being quite unintentionally amusing.

No shortage of great quotes in Vic's books. I put them up at parties sometimes. Also the "Beachcombers Creed" printed in Intoxica is great. Put it on the wall of your bar! -martin |

"Moai for the money" OR--any quote that contains the word "more"-substitute that with "Moai" Imagination is 'Moai' important than knowledge. OR-- look up some 'Moai-tivational' quotes! Most quotes pages are broken down into categories, 'motivational quotes' usually being one. If you need 'moai-tivation', think of your paycheck on Friday. |

GREAT THREAD! I scoured the internet looking for clever little phrases to make signs for my tiki bar walls and drink menus and never thought about picking the brain pool at TC. DUH! I'll be looking forward to getting many brilliant quotes and slogans here! So far, my current favorite phrase to add is pretty simple....a sign that reads: "I JUST LOVE THIS BAR!" LavaLounger |

My absolute favorite Vic's quote (as seen at the Atlanta Trader Vic's):
AMEN! Also, one of those old Ultra Lounge tiki mix CDs in the liner notes said "If your mind should wander, let it lead you here..." which I always thought would be the perfect sign for a tiki bar. |

I think it was Bosko who said in his internet interview... Tiki Decor is about layers. You shouldnt be able to take it all in on the first visit. Every time you come back there should be something that you didnt notice before. |

Yes I've heard that before, it should be part of the 'tiki bar manual' if there was one. Humu that Vic's one is also great. It reminds us that tiki people tend to be first class even after many drinks. |
