Bobble Tiki didn’t have a very enjoyable high school experience. In retrospect, it’s not surprising. For one, Bobble Tiki was the only grass skirt wearing, island-themed souvenir in his class. That alone made for plenty of name calling and ridicule. Secondly, Bobble Tiki hated school. Plain and simple. Bobble Tiki
