I wonder if they could make more money by splitting 'em all up. I also wonder where all that stuff came from.

Looks like a lot of the mugs are modern. basically you could be paying about $30 a mug, $30 for a archie mcphee mug?

It's eyes flashed red and smoke came out it's ears, very cool.

I wonder if it would or would not have the same negative affect (feng shui-wise) as walking through a lion's mouth. Remember, MGM use to have guests walk through a lion's mouth at their entrance, but according to Asian legend, it is extremely bad (luck) to have to walk through an image of a mouth, particularly the lion at the entrance of MGM. The hotel spent millions reconfiguring that entrance to reclaim the Asian gamblers confidence. FYI~many of the hotels, casinos, and even restaurants have hired Feng Shui Masters since then to make sure that everything configured in their establishment reflects positive "chi". We have (literally) dozens of feng shui books here at my house, and the wife is a Lillian Too (feng shui master) student. I wonder if FuturaGirl covered this little bit of info on her Las Vegas tour.

Which reminds me does anyone have special insurance riders for their tiki collections. I wonder if there is a rider that would need to include "inebriated friends".

He did a custom 5-foot California-style tiki for me last spring and only charged me $240 for it. Yeah, you read right. $240 I do love that e-bay collection, but would rather invest in real estate. The hunt for tiki is something I relish to do for myself, even if it means digging through someone's garage sale garbage.
