Buzzy sent the Tiki, I guess you could make a case that he is Mr Tiki. Amazon was nice enough to send me the tracking tag :D |

No Hamo but I haven't forgotten, just too busy. I got all the supplies, need to break out the Dremel and hollow a cavity under the Tiki for the chip. Working on a big (non-Tiki) project with a deadline of Feb 1st so hope to be onto Mr Tiki soon :D |

Had a little time to work on Mr Tiki. He needs two screws and THE CURSE decoupaged to his back. Should be ready to go out this week. EDIT - Locator seems to work well too [ Edited by: MadDogMike 2018-02-18 16:44 ] |

It's back. Remember when in Portland OR to look for Mr. Tiki #1 last seen with TC member crushenstein. AND when in Canada to look for Mr. Tiki #2 last seen in Canada with Tiki-Brian and lost in the Mail. Looks like it might be best for at least the early years of Mr. Tiki #3s life might be best spent with TC folks who have more than say 100 or more posts. Background checks and Psychological exams could help too. Ok no Psychological exams cuz nobody here would pass. Good luck Mr. Tiki #3 you're going to need it. |

Skip, that's a good outstanding suggestion. Not sure how this criteria would have worked with the others who previously had Mr. Tiki, but it's definitely worth discussing. |

"Not sure how this criteria would have worked with the others who previously had Mr. Tiki," The two who lost em would not have got em in the first place. They don't really even post anymore. |

OK, Mr Tiki IV is ready to TIKI ON!!!!! Prikli Pear would like to have him for mid March which gives Mr Tiki enough time for a quick visit somewhere else first. Anyone looking to host him now and ship him to Texas in a couple weeks? For future reference, here are some people who have recently expressed interest in hosting Mr Tiki |

Great job Mike. All jokes aside the best way to receive and send off Mr. Tiki is to announce Mr. Tiki arrival when you get him, if you post that on TC and in a PM to the person who sent it to you, you are covered two times. Now when you send him off do the same thing, announce on TC he's gone, and in a PM to the new receiver, and again your covered twice, and hey you're taking photos of all of Mr. Tiki antics take one of you putting his butt in the post office, and you're covered. Don't waste Mikes time and efforts by not taking a small bit of time and effort yourself. |

It was good cake, but just bought it at the store. Getting closer to time for Mr. Tiki to move on not going to tell where he is going and will leave that to the new host. BUT I had an idea and I did ask Mike first as Mr. Tiki is his idea, so I thought it might be fun to have a travel box for Mr. Tiki. This box is small and comes with almost no decoration that's where the hosts come in. Also Mr. Tiki being a tiki collector himself would naturally pick up souvenir's at the places he visits, just one or two very small items like a postcard or swizzle sticks it, you could carve him a small tiki or even make him a small mug. Would be best if these represent the places he visits and be tiki but small enough to fit in the box. I hope this will work and all have fun with it.

I hope the box is fun in the end. Here are some shots from around Kahiki land. The large Moai that was in front of the Kahiki. Here Mr. tiki is with another statue from the Kahiki. Had thought that Kientz worked on the Giant Statue of King Gambrinus too, but this may not be true. King Gambrinus Statue And this Mr. Tiki is what we got in place of the Kahiki ... Walgreens. It is said that the eggroll factory is what killed the Kahiki, as the focus went more towards making eggrolls than the restaurant side of things. |

Took Mr. Tiki out for one last time. Mr. Tiki is drinking and smoking and hanging out with the younger crowd that smoke and drink. Back in our day Babies used to smoke and drink and they turned out fine. Then we went to Windward Passage. |

I wanted to show the kahiki saga, You will see Mr. Tiki at many tiki bars. But, at that Walgreens when I drove by I thought man there is usually an accident here. That was a crappy part of town. Don't shop Walgreen's! |

So with the box idea also comes the opportunity for us to send a small gift solely for the benefit of the next recipient. Tiki matchbooks from places near us, or napkins, who knows? |

Thanks Hilda, mike, Wendy, and Ace. "send a small gift solely for the benefit of the next recipient" He will go on and others will add to it. I know the box will fill up one day hopefully, we can deal with that then. BUT, I also sent some host gifts with Mr. Tiki™ for the new host to keep. Mike, is it true that the chip in Mr. Tiki™ can also let you listen in on where he's at? [ Edited by: tikiskip 2018-03-05 11:37 ] |

I have to say, hosting Mr. Tiki isn't quite what I expected. He came bearing gifts--actual swizzles and napkins from the late, lamented Kahiki, plus some other swag I think he lifted when TikiSkip wasn't looking. I'm not sure if Mr. Tiki is generous or just a klepto. Regardless, Mr. Tiki was thirsty after his long trip (he got lost there for a couple of days, to the surprise of no one). I took him out to the Lagoon of Mystery, where he was excited to see I had the new Sippin' Safari 10th anniversary edition. I made him a Kamehameha punch, but once he learned I had no fresh blackberries for garnish, he refused to drink it (I think Mr. Tiki is one of them there "purists" I see mentioned here on occasion). |

Well this Mr. Tiki is going to be trouble, he was born under a bad sign. Glad he made it for the trip you all are taking. This guy has supernatural powers. Good luck! |
