Reminds me of a recurring column in our local alternative paper. : )

I rarely ever chime in on TC anymore, but I must say that this thread speaks to me. Woofmut's commentary on the redundancy of topics is good, as are most of his observations, but this thread has the bite I relate to. Cheers to you sir for another thread that I get. By the way, hipsters are merely nerds that are afraid to express their "nerdiness" in the regular ways that have been stereotyped as "nerdy". They are a bit annoying simply because there is something condescending in their attitude. That is the real meat of the issue that people have with them. Pretending to be uninterested in everything is a defense mechanism that protects them from their fear of being judged for liking something, or having an interest. So glad I was at least aware enough to feel dissatisfied with things. Anyway, great thread. Keep the angry humor coming. It's working for me.

I am sick of lying to many of you!
What if we start being honest on Tiki Central, Instead of saying "Gee that's a nice ahem, work of art
you posted, phlegm-Tiki
How about we say what we really think, like "Oh God, My Eyes! My Eyes! please take it away"
nice try phlegm-Tiki, but don't quit your day job.
Would that really make some of you cry? could you handle it?
or do you still want me to lie to you?
I don't mean it is open season & I have have a license to be a dick, Just some straight shooting, real honesty
could we all be adults and deal with that?
I myself would prefer straight, honest answers for once, I think we should try it.

I am on pins & needles & just waiting for some douche nozzle
to say "Tiki is whatever you make it"
You might as well say "The Earth doesn't need a Moon"
And you would be the complete opposite of Einstein, The Anti-Einstein if you will.....

Most of us here don't want to hear lying pleasantries. Its just we somehow realize that it is not a Tiki Central rule that each member has to post their opinion on every single post that appears every single day. Some times you can just not click the link to something that does not interest you.
Most of us can go to bed and sleep soundly even if there does exist those uneducated, undiscriminating souls who love the purple and yellow tikis from Big Lots. Most of us just chalk it up to different strokes for different folks. Apples and oranges. We realize that not everyone needs to have the exact same opinion as us and we don't feel deep anger at thinking that differs from ours. Cue the cries of "But what about the integrity of Tiki Central?!?!?!?!" Well, the serious topics like historical photos and stuff like "Crypto mugs" tend to stay serious....and the pictures of "my kitten in a hula skirt" and "my attempt to turn a cardboard box into a tiki bar" tend to stay pretty far away from each other. They really do.
Most of us can remain civil and polite when we do decide to disagree. There are plenty of differing opinions here. Most are content to say something like "Hey its not my cup of tea and its for this reason...." and then leave it at that. Whats important are the thoughts and ideas....not grinding a person down in a personal attack because of their bad taste.
Most folks get along here amazingly well. But there are some for whom the Tiki Fan Boy rage burns red hot, who feel politeness is surrender, who feel discussion without insults is a waste of time, and feel the internet was invented for the sole purpose of taking safe pot shots at harmless people from the safety of mom's basement. Hey....I 'm just being "straight and honest for once."

But if you can tell me you never,ever wanted just to say "No" to someone
I would say you are lying.

No! I have done it, and made nothing but enemies here because of it.

Why is everbody always pickin' on me?
The morn' that I was born my old man beat up the doctor
He clocked the doctor cause the doctor said I looked like Chewbacca
The doctor said sir you're misled sir which infers you mistook me
I did not mean your lovely wife was shackin' up with a wookie
What I mean is Wolverine is less hairy than your son
He's looks like Chewie Baba Booey Baba Booey and Hong Kong Phooey all in one
To put it mild your new-born child's completely nutty fu-fu lookin'
I'd shove him back into the oven until he is done cookin'
But why's everbody always pickin' on me?
Cause my fifteen year-old cousin has less acne
But why's everbody always pickin' on me?
Ain't brushed them teeth since 1983
But why's everbody always pickin' on me?
Cause you got the grooming habits of a chimpanzee
But why's everbody always pickin' on me?
Cause you're white but you got a nose like Bill Cosby
Why's everbody always pickin' on me?
Always pickin' and rippin' apart poor ol' Jimmy Pop Ali
I got a schnoz like the 'Cos' but there's a lot more wrong with you
So back me up Bill yea and you're ugly too
So what if I brush my teeth with a piece of cheddar cheese
Or where a fish net shirt by Chams with my Sergio Valenti jeans
And my mirror never lies but it always verifies
I got more cheese and pepperoni than a homemade pizza pie
You compare me to a Monchichi but I don't understand
Why I'm scorned like I'm deformed like the Elephant Man
And yea I took my mom to the prom but hey she asked me first
But at least this time I didn't find my date in the back of a hearse
About as popular with the girls with Englebert Humperdink
And that might be 'cause everybody calls me Shrinky Dink
I know I'm known as Polaroid I'm not a total retard
It's cause I'm done in sixty seconds and you'll still want it enlarged
But why's everbody always pickin' on me?
Cause ya wore velour flares until the late Eighties
But why's everbody always pickin' on me?
Cause you run like a girl and sit down to pee
But why's everbody always pickin' on me?
Cause your only school chum was the lunch lady
But why's everbody always pickin' on me?
You took your mom to the prom but still got lucky
Like that episode where Gilligan gets sick of being teased
And he breaks into the Professor's lab and makes some LSD
Peaks freaks and eats the Skipper's brains then beats Ginger with coconuts
As Mr. Howell and Lovey burn alive inside their grass hut
Oh he'll kill again that Gilligan they he should of let him be
And like a postal clerk I'll go beserk if you don't stop teasing me
See the trick is only pick on those that can't do you no harm
Like the drummer from Def Leppard's only got one arm
The drummer from Def Leppard's only got one arm
The drummer from Def Leppard's only got one arm
The drummer from Def Leppard's only got one arm
The drummer from Def Leppard's only got one arm
The drummer from Def Leppard's only got one arm
The drummer from Def Leppard's only got one arm
The drummer from Def Leppard's only got one arm
The drummer from Def Leppard's only got one arm
But why's everbody always pickin' on me?
Cause my fifteen year-old cousin has less acne
But why's everbody always pickin' on me?
Ain't brushed them teeth since 1983
But why's everbody always pickin' on me?
Cause you got the grooming habits of a chimpanzee
But why's everbody always pickin' on me?
Cause you're white but you got a nose like Bill Cosby
But why's everbody always pickin' on me?
Cause ya wore velour flares until the late Eighties
But why's everbody always pickin' on me?
Cause you run like a girl and sit down to pee
But why's everbody always pickin' on me?
Cause your only school chum was the lunch lady
But why's everbody always pickin' on me?
Cause no one likes you monkey boy.

Does the earth NEED a moon? Neither Venus nor Mercury have one and they're still in orbit. There would be no tides and as an added benefit, there would be no honeymoons, no lunatics, and no moonings!

the best way to preserve a knowledgeable heritage of Tiki
is to gently guide therse folks towards books or diff styles of tikis
maybe we're just second wave ol schoolers,but therer has been a slight degradation/homogenization in allowing tiki "offenses" to go unchecked...
Just do it with kindness....
as any scene grows rhis happens
but this is the generation that's going to be defining tiki
after we're gone...
so the best hope is to encourage them in a right direction
coax them towards Sven 's books or some of your favorite..
share a storyabout Lono
or the civil strife on Easter island
or about a Sepik river Spirit hook
it only takes a few minutes...
