During the 2007 Tiki Farm Garage Sale I bought this at a nearby beach shop. I consider it quite possibly the most garish and unartistic tiki mug in existence. The only thing that would make it worse is if it was made out of plastic. But I believe in making lemonade out of lemons. So, I took it back to The Farm and handed it over to Squid with the idea of "customizing" it. Squid added a few details and signed it with a silver pen. Then Ken Ruzic signed it. Then I had 7 more people sign it...backwards just for fun. Tough to write backwords without a mirror! Backward signatures include Kirby, Grog, Thor, Bamboo Ben, Holden, Tiki Al, and Doug Horne. Kelly Reilly did the same thing with the yellow version of this mug although her inscription by Squid is a little different.
