The sky's the limit, no....go where no mind has gone before, wait......just do it. (Bamboo Ben, I didn't copy you, that was Nike's slogan and besides I'm buying the rights to it) eep?

If you want a pendant, he's one of the members that can do it and do it well (obviously).

If you'll note, in the Book of Tiki it shows Bob and Leroy initially started their biz by selling tiki pendants and necklaces. The logo on the back shown in the pic above is the logo of the company they bought these from. Traderpup found a bag of these (60+ or so) amulets at a flea market/show and took them to Bob at OA for more info on them. Bob told him the story. Fortunately for me, SugarCaddyDaddy, King Kuku, Floratina and Hula Hula, we got to cherry pick the ones we wanted out of the pile. A significant piece of Poly Pop (not me) history you've got there.... Poly-Pop * He who dies with the most broken mugs WINS! [ Edited by: PolynesianPop on 2004-04-28 14:32 ]

I couldn't resist giving one to the cutest little 8 yr. old girl. It was her birthday and she said she wanted one of my tikis so I placed it around her neck for her. The smile I received in return was the greatest gift of all.
