I'm trying to think of what food you can get there that would still be considered Tiki. Can anyone else name any boiled Tiki food? Maybe pineapple and kidney pie? Rumaki made with blood sausage? Perhaps Haggis using pig stomach? I'm just being a wanker. You made a great looking Tiki room! The Tiki idol and mugs are well presented, excellent Tiki atmosphere! Shelves look awesome. Well made. I bet Liam Gallagher could get in a full on brawl there and not hurt anything except himslelf! (Big fan of Q Magazine and The Economist.)

My wife is going to freak when she sees that picture of Tom Jones behind the bar. She LOVES him, and she makes sure that everyone knows that "it's not a sock". (you'd have to be a TJ fan to know what she means). We're seeing him next month in Las Vegas as part of her birthday present, and I do have to admit, the man still has a fantastic voice and the ladies (even 18 to 30 year olds) STILL throw their panties and phone numbers at him.

I can also say that your evil-looking tiki mug in your pics was from a place in england called butlin's beachcomber: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3201010212

Sven has some info on him in the BOT in the carvers section. He's one of my fave carvers, and I (think) I have one of his tikis here at my pad..
