Hi, proper tiki etiquette is you introduce yourself to the group first, before selling.

Those are ugly as hell, can't say I would have them in my collection
especially since they are not really Tiki at all (but that's just my opinion)
Anyone else collect these?

lol the one on the right looks like that dog on that old cartoon the one with the long face and talks like he has marbles in his mouth.

Look on Ooga Mooga for them. They go for $100 plus.
Politiki was a tiki bar with a political theme in Washington D.C.

One of the more esoteric concepts in the history of the Tiki revival. Folks know my attitude towards portrait mugs..these would be an interesting example of how far the theme can veer off its origins.

I concur...

WoW! Have not seen any of these surface for years. Still over 4 days left and Jimmy Carter is already $170 plus! :o :o Will definitely be watching these...

at least they never made mugs for the scheisse haus. who knows what those would have ended up looking like.

Points!

Madame Bong doesn't need an introduction! Her name has been mentioned here many times in the past.

Is that Tiki Bongs wife?

she has only one post

You didn't introduce yourself until your third post!

At those prices, I wish I had some to sell; but I don't think I could ever have them in my house. Those are creepy as all get out!

Is this breaking the no politics rule on TC?
we are in a grey (I mean mustard) area, here. :lol:

I got called on it TOO! Hakalugi. I was a first time poster. As you just stated madame bong has been posting for quite a while under what tiki bong? Should know better.

No, Madame Bong is not Tiki Bong. Madame Bong is Tiki Bong's wife as ATP surmised.

If you look at TCers old posts you will find that many have never
introduced themselves, right ATP, if that is your name.
For all we know you could be John Simon Ritchie.:)

Good point skip. I've been on here for years & never stepped foot in that thread. Always seemed a little corny to me.

With the way new posters are constantly & predictably chided on this site, it's a wonder it's not just the same 5 or 10 people, constantly posting their opinions... oh wait...

Lady Bong! She is a nice lady and we get to see her when Kevin
let's her out of the box on occasion,
(She sells sometimes at the International Tiki Market Place, always cool vintage stuff for cheap)

Hey! I only bug folks to introduce themselves when they appear to only be on TC for profiteering
I like to think they have come here for the culture also, (pet peeve, I guess)

Skip, you will pay for that "Buffet" remark, every one knows I am a soulless killing machine
with a change of heart (programming)

I will now stomp around doing "air quotes" all day!

I don't really care if people introduce themselves here or not.
In fact most of the time that I do look up to see if they did introduce themselves
it is only to see "what's up with this D%#K" so don't know if it's good or bad really.

What would you want a guy here to just off some tiki thing for as much as he can make to say?
"hi I'm Profit hunter mike and I like cats" who cares who he is.

There are whole groups of tiki folks who mostly only sell, promote stuff on TC.

I will change Jimmy Buffet to John Simon Ritchie.
