Come join us for a glass of champagne, cake and a Kara-jokey contest! What is Kara-Jokey, you ask? It is like Karaoke but instead of singing, tell us a joke! Lot's of fun swag givaways by Sailor Jerry and others. Pick a joke, it doesn't have to be original, get on stage and tell it with flair for a chance to win! We will also bust out the Ginger Bimbo and French Zombie complete with misting dry ice!

I would like to get one of their mugs for my collection. Would the Saturday celebration be appropriate for a first-timer? [ Edited by: geedavee 2010-03-12 15:43 ]

Geez, that was how long ago?? Congrats, D&R - you two are like family to me, and the P.O. is as comfy as my Mom's house. Only with better decor. And better drinks. And better bands. And better anniversary parties. And the BOT on the walls of the men's room. (Purple Orchid = WIN!) The Good Doctor will see all y'all tomorrow, fo' sho'!

WD Wersmo Derinc Member Joined: May 15, 2003 Posts: 180	WD Wersmo Derinc Posted posted on Sun, Mar 14, 2010 3:55 AM Unquestionably the best Kara-jokey contest ever! There was a tie between Earnie and Danger, so we had a joke off. The judges had a hard time deciding and it came down to the wire. Earnie pulled out a stunning victory with a beautifully delivered puberty joke and took home the grand prize! Danger was right behind him with a great old-sex joke and came in a close second. Michelle came in third with a very funny quick joke; "What's the difference between pink and purple? The grip!" Thanks to all who served as judges. They took their responsibilities seriously and were faced with a challenging decision. Rebecca and I would like to thank you all for making the last nine years the best of our lives. The generous love of our Tiki Central friends has been the sustaining fire of our success!

Congratulations on the first 9 years, and may you have MANY MANY MORE TO COME. Thanks for the dart board GROG win in the Karajoke contest. GROG love the GINGER BIMBO GROG drank last night. That was MUY TASTY. Thanks Murph for driving, and thanks to all the TCers there who cheer for GROG in the Karajoke contest, (even though GROG screw up the first joke.) GROG Get better soon Tiki-Kate.
