Good for you, but who exactly are you comparing yourself to?

[ Edited by: JenTiki 2007-02-09 00:12 ]

Who won? Please announce a winner, we're all on the edge of our seat!

And the winner is ......

Bora Boris for this lovely team photo! My legs haven't been that thin since high school! Plus he thought to include my home boy, Chongolio!

Second place goes to Polynesiac for his low-tech flyer!

Honorable mention to Little Lost Tiki for his persistence and endless creativity, Kirby for putting up with all the abuse (even though he didn't submit a flyer), and Chongolio who created a fun, fabulous flyer even though he didn't qualify for a prize!

Boris has chosen a Forbidden Island mug as his prize, and since I still have a couple of those left, Polynesiac has a choice of a mug or t-shirt.

For those of you waiting for the non-photoshop contest, I have decided to not have another contest at this time.

Thanks to everyone who played along with my little contest!

Kungrajoolashuns Borus. Nekst tyme I'm goign too hav moer blatint typografik errers. Mabee isle bee a weiner two.

Mom always liked you best.

Woooo!

Thank you Jen and thank you sKwiD!

This was a lot of fun.*

*I just spelled the word "lot" wrong and I caught it but I felt I had to share that information.

All the flyers were great! I NEED to get a darn photoshop program!
I especially liked Chongolio's -- that one was a crack up.

Dang...those were fun to look at. I have Photoshop....now if I can just figure out how to use it!! Great contest Jen...wishing you, Kirby and the rest of the crew lots of fun. :)

I'm gonna sue !!

Using my likeness for profit without my permission.

You're all going down!!

WOW...second place!!! I can't say that I'm not a little surprised. THanks for all the fun and the votes!!! (maybe I should make this a full time gig?)
I betcha I coulda got first place if I included more people on the flyer...and you're right about squid not having glasses in the drawing. It was a little hard to identify him without the specs! It would have been spot on if I included them!!!

BUT at least I was a contendah...

"Low literacy"?!?!?!
They say "pictures are worth a thousand words" and this one speaks VOLUMES!!! (just w/o words...so u dont hafta reed it)

"Low Tech"!?!?!?
I hope you know that I upgraded my technology specifically for this flyer, thankyouverymuch. I used Sharpie 2.0.1. Photoshop is so...bourgeois

I think I'm going to go post this flyer in the "free downloadable tikicentral prints" over in creating...

I think DB should get an honorable mention, just for being brave enough to photoshop in a gun anywhere near that adorable ball of fluff. that flyer alone makes me want to drop everything and go!

Okay Tiki People, here's another contest since I still have one Forbidden Island mug left.

The Contest
Using the tune from a well-known song, write new lyrics about Kirby’s Birthday and Tiki Night at the Tonga Hut. Only one verse and a chorus (or two verses if there is no chorus in the song) are required! No need to put lyrics to the guitar and drum solos! The lyrics must mention the following information:

• February 24th
• The Tonga Hut
• Tiki Night
• Kirby’s birthday

The Deadline
Entries must be posted on this thread by 3:00pm PST, Wednesday, 2/21.

**The Judging Criteria **
Basically, I’ll choose whatever I like for whatever reason I like it! Also, if I don't know the original song, you won't win, so make it something I'm sure to be familiar with. It’s my thread, I get to do what I want!

The Catch
The winner must be present at the Tonga Hut on February 24th to collect his or her prize. No proxies will be allowed. Be there, or forfeit your prize!

Good luck and have fun!!!

Pretty Kirbut, walking down the Tonga Hut,
Pretty Kirbright, the kind you'll find on a Tiki Night.
Pretty Kirbeth, let's meet on the February 24th.
No birthday could be as good as Kirby's Birthday.
Mercy!

Saturday Night • The Bay City Rollers

S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y night!
S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y night!
S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y night!
S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y night!
Kirby it’s your birthday on 2/24
It’s Saturday night, Saturday night
Dancin' to the rhythm
at the Tonga Hut
On Saturday Night, Saturday night
TIIIIIKI NIIIGHT
I just can't wait
TIIIIIKI NIIIGHT
Don’t be late…

Ugh! um never mind.:roll:

Oh Kirby, you're so fine
You're so fine, you blow my mind, hey Kirby, hey Kirby
Oh Kirby, you're so fine
Carve me something out of pine, hey Kirby, hey Kirby
Oh Kirby, you're so fine
I wear your pendant on some twine, hey Kirby...

Hey Kirby,
It's Feb the twenty-fourth, and that's a special day
I'll drive a little North, and I'll meet you in L.A.
If I'm bringing you a gift, It doesn't mean I'm gay, Kirby

Your hair could use a rinse, Your hand could use a brew
You're sellin' me your prints, Kirby, please Kirby do
I hear it's Tiki Night, so please draw me a Ku, Kirby.

Oh Kirby, it's your birthday
You don't understandle
You really blow my mind
When you're blowing out your candle

Oh Kirby, You're so pervy,
Write this on your hand;
"It's at The Hut!", Kirby
The Tonga Hut Kirby, Hut Kirby,
And not the Brown Derby!

It's gonna be tough to judge this one! Well except the fact that LLT loses big time.

UNbelieevable talent Sabu!!! I could sing right along with that one!!! You are either the quickest of the wits or have way too much time on your hands!!!! You get my vote (but it's not my contest!)

He gets my vote except for the last verse...
The word "pervy" and "Brown Derby" shouldn't be anywhere near each other! Yikes!

I'm jealous of everyone that had President's Day off yesterday. I had to work, so this is my entry into the contest. It was very nice of JenTiki to give us non-photoshop people a shot at a FI mug. (Um...this is called getting sympathy and suckin up to the Judge).

So here it is to the tune of Bruce Springsteen's "Born in the USA"

Headin' down from Nor Cal.
Plans on drinkin' till she hits the ground.
End up like a tiki that's been beat too much.
Gonna spend half the days soberin' up.

Tiki Night at the Tonga Hut!
February Twenty-Fourth!
Tiki Night at the Tonga Hut!
February Twenty-Fourth!

Got in a little traffic jam.
So she put a tiki mug in her hand.
Sent her off to a convenience store.
Birthday gifts for Kirby galore.

Tiki Night at the Tonga Hut!
February Twenty-Fourth!
Tiki Night at the Tonga Hut!
February Twenty-Fourth!

Came to the Tonga Hut mug in hand.
Welcomed by the crazy TC Clan.
Kirby's birthday celebration: "Oh Gee!"
Saw a paddle where it shouldn't be.

Suzy mixing behind the bar.
Put lots of money in her jar.
Or grog and Zaya's paddles won't be far.

It's kirby's Birthday at the Tonga Hut!
It's Jentiki's first time at the Tonga Hut!
Got a Forbidden Island mug to give away!
She's a cool rockin' tiki babe in the USA

To "Last Resort" by Papa Roach

Cut my cake into pieces
This is the Tonga Hut
Intoxication
No barfing
Dont give a f*ck if I cut my arm carving

This is the Tonga Hut

Cut my cake into pieces
Ive reached the Tonga Hut
Kirby's Birthday
No feces
These chocolate nuggets don't taste like Reeses pieces
Do you mind if I only eat pizza?
Would it be wrong
Would it be right
If I took my life tonight
At the Tonga Hut Tiki Night
Twice as much fun as traffic court
And it's February twenty-fourth

Cuz Im feelin alright
Feelin all smug
Wish somebody would give me that mug
Feelin alright
Feelin all smug
Wish somebody would give me that mug

[ Edited by: Sabu The Coconut Boy 2007-02-20 17:00 ]

Sabu,
I think we'll stick with your first entry as your contender so far. This last one is interesting, but I know nothing of "Papa Roach" and the rules clearly state that I must know the song. But keep sending them in, you never know what might strike my fancy!
Mahalo,
Jen

Okay, he's another shot at the FI Mug. And I'm still trying for the sympathtic vote from the judge. I don't have internet access at home, because I've been in the process of moving. So under fear of getting terminated at work -- I'm posting this when I should be working!

To the tune of Madonna's Material World

Some boys kiss me, some boy’s hug me
I think they’re okay
If they don’t give me a proper Mai Tai
I just walk away

They can beg and they can plead
But they can’t see the light, that’s right
Cause the boy with the hard tiki
Is always Mr. Right, cause we:

Living in a Tiki World
And I am a Tiki Girl
You know it’s Tiki Night at the Tonga Hut
And I’m a Tiki Girl

It’s Kirby’s birthday at the Tonga Hut
And that’s alright with me
If he can’t raise my interest than I
Have to let him be

Some boys try and some boys lie but
I don’t let them play
Only boys who collect Tiki Mugs
Make my rainy day, cause they are

Living in a Tiki world
Living in a Tiki World

Kirby’s birthday may come and Kirby’s birthday may go
And that all right you see
Tiki Mugs have made me rich
And now they’re after me after me, cause

It’s Tiki Night at the Tonga Hut
February Twenty-Fourth
It’s Tiki Night a the Tonga Hut
February Twenty-Fourth

Okay, left to my own devices at work, I'm totally going to get in trouble here.

Do I get extra credit for finding a picture with something that kind-of-sort of looks like a tiki?

To the tune of the Monkees' "I'm a Believer".

I thought Tiki Drinks were only true in Fairy Tales.
Meant for Kirby’s Birthday, but not for me.
Beer was out to get me.
That’s the way it seemed.

Tiki Night at the Tonga Hut haunted all my dreams.

Then I saw Suzy’s face, now I’m a believer.
Not a trace of doubt in my mind.
I’m in love, I’m a believer!

I couldn’t leave the Tonga Hut on the 24th if I tried.
I thought Tiki Drinks were more or less a given thing.

Seems the more I paid the less I got.
What’s the use in tryin’?
All you get is a hang over.

When I needed a Mai Tai I got a beer.

Then I saw Suzy’s face, now I’m a believer.
Not a trace of doubt in my mind.
I’m in love, I’m a believer.

I couldn’t leave the Tonga Hut if I tried.

Wow!! Some great entries from Sabu and CheekyGirl! Just a little over 2 hours left for any last minute entries gang! So get those creative juices flowing (no Kirby, not on LLT's truck) and let me see what you've got!

Dang. Madonna. CheekyGirl's pulling out the big guns.

Ok. Two can play at that game. Hopefully Jen remembers this song:

I made it to the Tonga Hut
I had a drink or two
Then I had five more
And then I threw up
In Kirby's birthday brew

I was barely alive
Couldn't drive, couldn't ride a bike
But then Atomic Kitty
Yeah, she poured me a drink
That tasted just like...

Like a virgin
Hey! This is a virgin Mai Tai
Like a virgin
There's not enough rum in this
To make a gopher high

She said "I really like you boy
But I see you're fading fast
And Tiki Night is officially over
At a quarter past"

"If you want to stay, at this soiree
On this day; February twenty-four
Then I'm afraid you need
Yeah, you really, truly need,
To drink a few more..."

Like a virgin
Just enjoy the cherry and lime
Like a virgin
You'll sober up
in record time"

I've got one more under my belt.

To the tune of Devo's Whip It!

Crack that whip
Don’t give the Tiki Night slip
Step on a crack
Break your momma's back

When a Kirby’s Birthday comes along
You must whip him
Before the drink sits out too long
You must whip him

When his birthday comes along
You must whip him

Now whip him
on February 24th
Tiki Night
get twisted
go forward
move ahead
to the Tonga Hut
it's not too late
Whip him Good

When a good time turns around
You must whip him
You will never live it down
Unless you whip him
No goes home
Until they whip him

I say whip him
Whip him good!

Well Gang, here are the long-awaited results of the final contest ... drum roll please ...

First Place: CheekyGirl for "Whip Him" -- I just love the sentimentality of it!

and ...

First Place: Sabu the Coconut Boy for "Like a Virgin Mai Tai" -- Let that be the last time that phrase is uttered!

That's right, we have a tie! I just couldn't make up my mind and happened to find one more extra mug, so they're both winners!

Honorable mention to CheekyGirl again for "Tiki in the USA" because I really liked the last line!

Another honorable mention to Sabu for "Hey Kirby" because he really is quite fine! (Don't hurt me Polly.)

And finally, honorable mention to Bora Boris for a brave attempt, even though he already has a mug on the way because he won the first contest!

As for LLT ... well ... I just don't even have a witty response for that one.

Thank you all for playing along with my little games! Remember, those of you who won a prize in either contest must collect your prize in person on Saturday night at Damon's or the Tonga Hut! See you all then!

Cheers!
Jen

Congratulations Cheeky and Sabu!

Well done!

:) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

I just got my computer set up here at home...and was able to view the results!
Happy Happy Joy Joy!

Sabu, thanks for keeping this girl on her toes.

Kirby...you're a good sport.

Thanks for you generosity, Jen. And thanks for helping me fall behind here at work, CheekyGirl with your challenges. I guess I'll see everyone at Damon's and then at the Tonga Hut afterwards.

Sabu

Sabu I think we should proudly drink all our drinks on Sat. in our new FI mugs.
If everyone drinks enough, we just may sing all the songs.

To the Victors go the spoils! Cheers!

I received a late entry in a PM from Dibroc. Unfortunately, it is quite late and therefore does not qualify for a prize, but I like it, so I'm posting it here for all to enjoy!

To the tune of Green Acres:

Tonga Hut is the place to be
to celabrate the birth of Kirby
Mai Tais spread far and wide
keep the beer give it to that bamboo guy

The Tonga Hut is where we like to play
Kirbys gotta pee so get out of his way
I can't wait to have a drink or two
when I get to the bar I hope there's enough room

.....the rum
.....cig's to bum
.....new stools
.....carved with Kirby's tools

let's drink all night
by Monday your feel alright
Tonga Hut we are there

I have fixed my spelling error.

That’s exciting right?

uh.......not really!
Anti-Climatic actually....
Take Pictures tonight!!!!!!

Here’s my Forbidden Island mug waiting to sneak a bite of my twice-baked potato at Damon’s.

Thank You JenTiki!

Sabu the Coconut Boy, Cheeky Girl, and Bora Boris show off their hard-earned contest prizes at the Tonga Hut!
