Grand Membership: Blue Stars

BLUE STARS!

Not the kind that get children hooked on drugs but the kind that denotes three years of Grand Membership!

I want to thank everyone who contributes to Tiki Central! Tiki Central would simply not be where it is today without everyone pitching in to make this place great ... through messages, photos, art, stories, questions, answers, in-person events, and through Grand Memberships. This year I'm ratcheting up the Grand Membership star color to blue for users who have contributed for three years. Users who contribute for two will still get green stars. I know it's small, silly gesture, but what the hey, I like being small and silly.

Please remember that you don't have to renew until your membership has expired (or a week before). If you renew before then, you won't get the new color star.

As usual, the system is creakier than the floorboards of the Mai Kai, so if anyone has problems with their membership or thinks they have the wrong color star, please contact me and I'll take care of it!

Mahalo,

Hanford

Hanford,
Thanks for all you do! i renewed, and i'm just wasting bandwidth to see if my blue star appears yet.

Me too! I want a blue star. Keep up the good work!!

I feel like such a 2nd class citizen with my plain old green star. Damn!

I agree...second class all the way!

: )

Woohoo, 3 more months and I'm true blue!

Hey Rainbow brother, Just give me a half a star man, I swear I will pay you back as soon I sell my Shecky mug.

AAAAAAHHH, I was just crazy talkin' I wouldn't sell my Shecky for half a star. I sent in my greens so I can get your blues I wanna be a blewbie. Man, I dig blues...Blues, scooters and Who music.

So even though I was one of the first ten to be a Grand Member, the fact that I let many months stupidly lapse before I renewed makes me start over as a first year ? :( :(

A blue star is better than blue balls.

Trader Woody

am i blue?

Why is my star still yellow? I'm all paid up.....

.....nevermind....

Just don't ever use red stars, or a certain department store (the one with giant balloons on Thanksgiving) will sue your ass for copyright infringement. :lol:

Thanks for everyone who re-upped. I am out of town and will deal with misc. issues surrounding the blue stars when I return this weekend. Until then, hold tight!

Hanford

It's not easy being green.

My blue star matches my eyes. Makes you wonder about the peeps with yellow stars.

Damn If only I'd joined when I found the place instead of lurking like a timid rabbit. Sonofabitch! I dig this board and swear I'm gonna put my money where my big mouth is soon and become a Grand Member.

Hanford, perhaps membership could be divided into five color coded catagories.

red for Severe Members

orange for High Members

yellow for Elevated Members

blue for Guarded Members

and green for Low Members

Ya know, something like this...

Just kidding, I'm jelous. **

I hope the CIA isn't watching. Unless they Google search this.

Grand Memebership color deciding time....

alright... you leave me no choice.

if my demands are not met I will be forced to start posting pics of the above product in use.

Are gold stars next?

Now I have no star! How sad is that? I have been stripped of my pointy goodness.

WHAAAAAA!

Chongolio starless outcast

Have you seen my star? I had it when in walked in. It is small blue and pointy and answers to the name of Betleguese. It may have been dyed green to escape detection. If seen tell it to come home. My life is dull without it. :cry:

I go blue in July, I see! coooool. It'll be most appropriate to keep my green for St. Paddy's Day...I should have green...now I'm curious and have to check. Hence this post.

Can we do designer red stars for four years? Pretty please?

J$ and Formica, you guys crack me up! :lol:

Or maybe I go green...burp...I have no idea! The math confuses me.

Still want a red star someday...sigh...

No Blue Star for YOU!!

:music: Oh where, oh where has my little star gone? Oh where, oh where can he be? :music:

... will trade 6 pints of one shot lettering enamel (various colors), 1 quart (full) of ultramarine blue enamel screenprinting ink (naz-dar 59000 series), 1 box legal size hanging files, 2 packs quitar strings (fresh), 5 blue 22" x 60" vinyl banner blanks, 1 box blue stabilo pencils, various one stroke & striper sign painters brushes (6 total and in great condition for a star of any color...

Hey Hanford, Hey I paid my dues a few weeks ago and I am still star less. Can you help a brother out?

Chongolio

damn, now i'm totally starrless

:P

Hey Chongo, I think you need to check your Monkey in the fes hat wearing your benzart pendant. He has an Awful guilty look in his eyes and a smirk on his face that screams trouble.

i don't even have a star sniffles so sad.

Well guess who came home smelling of cheap perfume, fine cigars and telling drunken stories of debauchery. Yup, lil Betelgeuse found his way home at long last. Thank you Hanford for sending him home before Unga Bunga found him and did irreparable damage to his moral fiber. But apparently a bit to late to have gotten us both kicked out of the Grand Cermonial Forum of Mystery. We seemed to have been banned and nobody will open up the back door for us. C'mon give the pointy little feller another chance, I promise I will make him leave the orangutan and lipstick at home next time.

No problem there, the orangutan is with me now, and she looks hot with lipstick by the way.
