T Tiki_Bong Member Huntington Beach, CA Joined: Mar 25, 2002 Posts: -16	T Tiki_Bong Posted posted on Fri, Sep 6, 2002 10:42 AM Because I've noticed quite a few new members here at Tiki Central, I thought it would be beneficial to provide a list of DO's & DON'Ts regarding the posting of messages that I've learned (sometimes the hard way) during my stay: Never, repeat, NEVER, inquire as to whether someone can be a teetotaler and still be into tiki and all that it involves. Refrain from making statements like this - 'never use the term 'surf' for anything other than actually 'surfing'. Never talk about the new release of 'Ultra Lounge'. Do not imply that REAL Falernum MUST have a small percentage of alcohol in it or it's bogus. Never make any statements about who really invented the Mai Tai (unless the answer is Trader Vic). I hope the above tips help you to enjoy Tiki Central as much as I do (damn it!).

Racist jokes are strictly taboo, unless you're making fun of the Germans, in which case, it's no holds barred. Jimmy Buffet is best not discussed in mixed company.

Controversial statements get the brain's juices flowing(so to speak). I'm glad we're still allowed to make fun of the Germans. Otherwise my German ancestry would be less of a source of entertainment. So here goes:Taboo Cove RULES!

V vintagegirl Tiki Socialite Los Angeles Joined: Jun 12, 2002 Posts: 542	V vintagegirl Posted posted on Mon, Sep 9, 2002 2:01 AM Hey Slovak, If you ever come out to LA, you and Atomic Cocktail should have a SPAM-fest. You both seem to have a great love of the product and it's history. I oughta know since we were just having dinner tonight when Atomic overheard some people at the next table dissing SPAM. One (obviously spoiled) young woman went so far as to say that she wouldn't eat SPAM even if she was literally starving. Atomic just rolled his eyes at her naivete. He would've thrown her into the volcano had there been one nearby.
