After a holiday get-together with a few of the Tiki (not TC's) high nobles, we discussed why TC has become the quality of a 'reality' show as it relates to tiki and things that matter.
For the most part, it's band-wagon jumpers that haven't the faintest clue, except for that it seems to be "WHAT'S HAPPENING"!!!

I blame Shag. Tiki central started as a ha;f tiki appreciation and half Shag appreciation club back in the olden times but man, Shag seems to have put tiki out there to every Tom Dick and Harry who is not truly a Tiki fanatic. Don't get me wrong I am not a tiki snob. I was on two with a band last August and met a couple in Chicago and a girl in Detroit who wer true Tiki fanatics and I made sure to tell them about Tiki central so taht they may join our ranks. BUt this whole thing wher "Art Afficcianadoes" cosnider tehmselves amonst the ranks fo teh devoted yet they don't know who Leroy Schmaltz is or Wayne Coontz, and they don't knwo Xrazy Al or Tioki Diablo, All they know is Shag.
Anyways, I'm dreunk and rambling so don't pay to much mind to anything I just said.
P.S. When in doubt ask yourself, "What would Tiki Bong do?"

You mean quality posts like the following have raised the level of TC to higher ground?

I waNT FO to see yo tit's

I remember back in the San Diego Mod scene when I pointed out that if the people in the scene made fun of every kid who didn't have the exact mod uniform, but who were trying, that the scene would die.
And sure enough it died. Why would some kid who was trying want to join people who making fun of or insulting him because they didn't have pants that were pegged?
So if Tiki Central is so bad, why not try to make it better? You are an "Honorable" Tiki Contributor.
I know words have lost a good deal of their power these days. But I live with the root word of Honorable as a last name. Time and my actions and misactions have taught me to try and live up to that word.
Give it a try.

I think thats the problem, it was for the uncool kids, then somehow got cool. Now the cool kids have tried to claim it as theirs. While us uncool kids see it going to those darned cool kids.
I remember an old interview with Kurt Cobain where he said that he had really started to hate the music industry because when Nirvana got so popular they got all these new fans. The problem was that all the new fans were only into Nirvana because they were popular and not because they actually cared about teh music. In this interview Kurt said that it really pissed him off to look out into the crowd and see he was surrounded by the same people that hated him in high school.

oh and on second thought, I guess I am a Tiki snob. I know Al and Shelley, Tiki Diablo, Tiki Bong, Poly Pop, Johnny Velour, Floratina, etc, etc, etc... So I got quite allot to be snobbish about.

Around here, nobody cares one toot about tiki, so I guess I don't see a problem. I still sail alone in a sea of Timbits. I fly my tiki freak flag high, but no one knows what the hell it is. Such is life in the great white north.
Who cares if tiki is cool or uncool with the masses? Remember, back in the day, it was Artie Accountant and Heddie Hairdresser going to the Mai Kai. It wasn't 'cool' and 'in the know' people.
