I just got one of the weirdest records in a while. The Title..."And me... I'm Ed McMahon". Yup, Johnny Carsons sidekick singing hits like Georigie Girl. Egads....
Shriner stuff, up there (aside from my dads world war two vintage egyptian fez) would have to be my shriner fez shaped ice bucket.

Some of the fun I've had with my non-tiki finds lately has been photographing or directly scanning them for use as computer wallpaper. I found two "boomerang" pattern formica tables in the last month and scanned the tops of them.
I reversed the color on the yellow one and made this.
I also found several lunch-counter seats with a nifty pattern.
This is a bit of fun I had with a motel sign I bought while I was learning MS Paint.
Is anyone else out there fond of computer wallpaper made from their tiki and non-tiki finds? Four old tiki postcards would be about the right size. And I'd think a close-up of a Witco showing the woodgrain texture or a good photograph/scan of The Pearl of Wisdom would be seriously cool.

We found a Bozo gumball holder (Bozo holding a bass drum, you pull back the hand with the drum stick & there's a hole for the gumballs to go in) for a quarter & a chair that looks like a giant leopard skin high heel shoe for 50 bucks.

I always wondered where that shoe on The Adventures of Priscilla Queen of The Desert got to.

Well, it's about time I finally posted this mug I found.
A real Titi Mug... 
I've been looking for another for a matched set. I figure it'll make a great ChiChi mug.

OK, OK... That's enough jokes about the shoe.  It's for my daughter who loves things in leopard print & wanted a shoe like that to use in a photoshoot.
We found it in a yard sale up a dirt road in Poway. The house was up behind a couple of places with horses in the front yard with a Uni-Mog out in front of 1, not exactly where you'd expect to find a shoe chair like that.
