No doubt some of you think I'm totally whacked out of my coconut tree on Tiki, but believe me, I'm no big Kahuna compared to enthusiasts like tikiskip, pictured here standing triumphantly on top of a large concrete moai that he obtained simply by renting a crane to haul it off. This fallen idol once stood guard in front of the famed Kahiki Restaurant, which was sadly gutted back in 2000. Skip's already received offers of help in renovating the statue, so hopefully it will once again be raised up and the not-so-eternal flame on its head will be relit.

In related news, I found a pair of Kahiki salt and pepper shakers yesterday at an antique store for $10. I did not need a crane to haul them away.

P.S. No, I don't know why he's wearing a Flintstones' Loyal Order of Water Buffalo hat, but it cracks me up every time I look at the photo.
