Take a read about Tiki Daddy's plight after he carved some Tikis into the palms outside his house..

Apparently, oceanside city officials aren't too happy about this "defacing of public property".

Posted: 2008-08-02 6:35 pm To quote a REAL tiki daddy from a different forum on the same subject: 'In the islands we do not deface trees with carvings we choose ones that are cut down and then do our carving. Our canoes are carved from trees that are cut down for this purpose for the Canoe Festival on Maui. This is destruction and even if someone carves their names in a tree, it is hurting the living tree. We respect our aina here but those on the mainland do not. Even our ohana who live on the mainland respect the trees. How would you like it if someone carved into you when you are alive? Respect your land. ' This guy is a joke, he's got tiki's all over his front yard including a rotten spongebob squarepants stump. He carved these in the palms to promote his own 'tiki daddy business'. Regardless if it kills the tree or not, what grown man doesn't have the sense to ask the owners for permission before carving into the trunks like that.
