Whats inside those things?? I found out the hard way!!
First, a warning to all of the Ohana in colder climates. Extreme cold makes those resin tikis brittle brittle brittle!
I figured they were perfect for our New England winters. I could keep 'em outside year round and not have to worry. Oops!
Well, we had a real cold spell last week (went below 0 degrees Fahrenheit) and there were wind gusts up to 40 mph to boot!!
The wind knocked this guy over (he was only dug in about 3 or 4 inches) and he snapped like a twig.
I brought him inside to see if maybe he could be reapired....
and while trying to balance the top back on, I noticed something PINK wedged deep inside his base...
I gotta admit, I was IMMEDIATELY freaked out. I jumped back, almost dropping the top half, and then slowly re-approached the base, peering inside from as far away as I could. I thought maybe it was some sort of animal, or nest full of baby animals or something along those lines.....as the shape took focus, my thoughts turned even darker...
"what is that??!?!"
"Oh my god, its like that movie House Of Wax"
"I think there's part of a PERSON in there!!!!"
I guess I watch too many horror movies, but when the zombie horde attacks (the ones who don't come in cocktail glasses) I'll be ready for em!!!!
Here's what it was...
It STILL pretty freaky to me!
Pink resin boots?!?!?!
I guess it was from some other resin statue, but why the hell is it in my tiki!??!?!!?
Or maybe its the pink nubbed boots of some elf who got too close to the resin machine?
I'm open to other ideas if anyone has 'em ........conspiracy theories welcome.

Just glue it back together. Get on with your life and pretend you didn't see anything. OK? It's better that way....
If you do good you'll hear from me one more time. If you do bad you'll hear from me two more times...

Perhaps the real question that was answered is, "What do tikis eat when nobody is looking?"

The Trojan Tiki ~ the Strawberry Shortcake embryo implanted inside was discovered before her insidious plan could be carried out...

I'm spending a little too much time looking at the picture... But that is too strange? LOL, neighbor missing a Garden Gnome!!! Glue it back together and forget you ever saw what's inside...
Well it's official we now know what tiki's are made of or perhaps not? Maybe this was a rebel cannibal tiki and it ate it's creator?

There's no way I could keep that thing in my house after seeing those pink boots inside. It would give me the willies.

At least now I know where where my daughter's dolls might be when they go missing. Perhaps resin tikis require a steady diet of plastic and feed on Barbies night...

OH
MY
GOD.
That is the weirdest, CREEPIEST thing I have seen in months and months and weeks.
You should just throw that tiki away! Something is wrong with it~!!!!!
I wouldn't take chances. Keeping that thing around is a bad idea.
Err on the side of caution. You can always get another one that doesn't have the voodoo on it.

That's really frightening! And kind of cool, too bad it didn't have little bits of tiki inside it.

As I was loading it into the trunk I noticed there must be a fist sized hunk of resin inside, rattling around.
