And Bongo B, while you're at it, please explain why/how your email and profile website are tied to this:

You probably explained it once before (owner, employee, fan, all of the above) but I don't remember. Just curious...

It IS a wonderful life! Merry Christmas Mr. Potter! Merry Christmas TC'ers!
Here's my beautiful Beauce Green Moai from Brandomoai!--
All the way from Edmonton, Canada, through the cold, snow and ice! Thank you Brandomoai for the mug, the great collection of swizzles and for the Fun Of The Anticipation! This mug is gorgeous and it connects me in some ways to the first ceramic piece I ever purchased way back in 1976! Thanks again to Bogie for providing all this fun... let's do it again real soon!

Praise the Lord! Yes, I was the "offending party". For the record, I did mail it out by the 10th, but that was still too late for Canada Post to get it down there before Christmas. Sorry for the weeks of suspense, Bongo. I don't know your back-story - is this the first ceramic piece you bought in 1976, or another Beauceware? Either way, it must have been fate. Now, it's my turn. Where's my mug...

For those of you who worried
(And enjoyed) and felt Bongo's pain
Now can have something else
To worry about again
Let not your heart be troubled
There is more to worry about
The North Pole is now locked up tight
And I have NO present to tout
To lament is not my style
So I left it to another
I wonder now, do I check the mail
Or should I even bother?
A lump of coal wrapped in a box
Woulda thrilled me so
A package from an unkown source
The thrill I'll never know
Spring is 'round the corner
An optomist I'll always be
I'll be again on that fun-filled list
The fun is in the giving, big mahalos to Bogie!

Aloha everyone and Happy New Year!
I got home from Florida today after a really exhausting trip and found this sitting on my doorstep. Ya know you got to love my lazy ass postman who doesnt deliver the packages to my apartment complex office when no one is home (as he is supposed to) but instead leaves them sitting out in the open instead. I am so glad that it hadnt been stolen because after the trip I had this cheered me up immensely. Sorry for the group shot but I am so tired that I am heading to bed to sleep off this time change confusion my body is slipping into:
Brief run down.....coconut monkey bank (reminded me of the Kirby necklace), coconut hula monkey, trio of tikis statue, treasure craft foot Maui dish, some swizzles, tiki straw, 2 cds of island music, SHAG cocktail drink deck (love this and didnt have it so I was stoked!), SHAG tissues (I am sick so hooray for them!),SHAG greeting card which I framed and hung already in my SHAG corner, pineapple notepad, Henry Mancini record I didn't have, 2 mugs which are the ones I use quite often and are all chipped so these are nice replacements and came at a great time, and believe it or not a big thing of coconut hand soap which I inhaled a big whiff of to disinfect the smell of Florida from my nostrils and finally Last Supper mints and Booger candy which have nothing to do with tiki but which fits my kitschy/kooky personality to a "T".
I really appreciate your thoughtfulness Tropical Icebergs. The two of you really gave me such a fun package to come home to after almost 12 hours of traveling.
Hope the last few stragglers have received their gifts. This was really fun and I am happy to have participated.
Now off to sleep ---I believe my bed is calling my name
