Description
Mark (hotracer2) had root canal surgery yesterday and is slowly recovering from this painful procedure. I feel for ya buddy! I'd like to dedicate this TIKI from my collection to you. May the power within him help you get through this and heal up quickly. ::UPDATE:: I just found out that cynlee just had her's done too, so let the power of KU help heal yoU tU! ----- TIKI: Hawaiian God "KU" Most famously known for being the god of strength, Ku often accompanied young warriors as they went into battle. He was also the main idol displayed in competitive games to bring strength and courage to all who participated. Created by Na' wahine and Kane, and married to Hina. Ku and his manifestations, such as Ku-ka-ilimoku (Ku, the eater of islands -- the personal god of King Kamehameha,I) were brought to Hawaii by Pa'ao and when that happened, the original order was overthrown. When Ku became as the primary god of Hawaii (somewhere between 750, and 1250 A.D.), the balanced system where men and women were honored equally was overthrown and it became a patriarchal society. Today, Ku is the prevailing deity in the Heiau of Hawaii. Ku is Lord of the North

Root canal? Not sure what it is exactly but I can imagine... Nice thoughts for him and cool shot!

Great image, did you glow the eyes on him in PS or are they painted red?

OK! This one makes me crave for a nice Hawaiian Punch. The red in the eyes and maybe the face resembles the Hawaiian Punch guy. Regardless I'm thirsty for the fruity red syrup. cool! KP
