Now that pirates are so five-minutes-ago...

The Next Big Thing is going to be ninjas. They are VERY due for a resurgence. As are their related spinoffs. (I already own a copy of Gymkata.)

Hell Yeah!!
I was cleaning out my moms garage a while back and found my old ninja throwing stars. I had the cool one with Bruce Lee on it. And by cool I mean totally sweet!

Aloha,
:tiki:

I used to date a guy who was a DJ and a part-time clown. He used to dress up as a teenage mutant ninja turtle (Donatello, I believe). Hot, but not as hot as the power ranger outfit.

Here you go CruzinTiki

I guess my husband and I are ahead of the curve! Finally, I am cool!

And even if you're not cool - those tiki-esque pumpkins certainly are!

I think a trend of evl super-villainy should be next. There could be 'villain bars' built in fantastically modern underground caverns... Trapdoors under the bartender's area, so if the villainous patrons aren't happy with their mai-tais they can hit the hidden button and drop the guy into a waiting tank filled with sharks with frickin' laser beams on their heads...

Ooh, villains...I like that!

(And tikifish is cool, ninja outfit or ugly yellow sweater.)

I dig the super villain thing. Perhaps the folks at Villain Supply could help with decor:

The SUBTERRANEAN ISLAND BASE WITH OPTIONAL VOLCANO UPGRADE might even have crossover appeal with TC!

"and convenient, obvious self-destruct mechanism. Buy the volcano upgrade, and get a free Nikon Digital Camera!"

Yeah, Baby!

Ninjas are cool howevver, I dont think the Luche Libre Mexican Wrestlers have had there fair share of the spotlight yet. Pet rocks are due again too.
As for super villians you can see the Super villian awards here:

You may even spot a tiki mask in the audience.

I think the next in thing will be big sunglasses on the ladies.
