I find much of this discussion pretty phunny! It's sometimes surprising what gets some folks rankled! I agree with those who noted there's nothing wrong with the original question of whether or not it could have been Bubba at a sports bar in Florence. Heck, it coulda been. I used to live in Florence...

Getting back to the original topic of this thread, publishing delays are common. I work in the publishing industry and see it frequently. We had a magazine-style book initially scheduled to be out last fall and just published it last month ... a lot of reasons for the delay. And really, are many of ...

I agree it was well-said! Those who "get it" understand that Jimmy Buffett may not be the best singer around, may not be the top songwriter or the most accomplished musician recording and performing today, but the whole package is much, much greater than the individual parts. His carpe die...

Definitely No. 1 is "WDWGDAS." That novelty song has long worn out its welcome. This goes back awhile in concert, but I also am tired of "Gypsies in the Palace" and don't care if I ever hear it again. Now, on the other hand, I prefer hearing "We are the people our parents wa...

I love love love our CIP in Charlottesville and even though the band said they didn't know any JB tunes, they sang BEG :D Ours is open for lunch and is really easy to get to. As far as fun factor goes, it's one of the better places in C'ville. The only I've been to was the Charlottesville location ...

Aw, c'mon guys! You all know what is the real state song of Florida, don'cha?
It begins: "M-I-C-K-E-Y, M-O-U-S-E!"...

At 1:20 p.m. today, Steve Huntington on RM mentioned Jimmy's upcoming Bama Breeze tour with the couple of dates already announced, and said BuffettNews had the info before anyone else.
"Way to go, BuffettNews" Huntington said....

Oops, missed the Slade Patterson reference! Sorry!

Tell you what... when I started this thread, I thought I listed a lot of characters in the poll. Since then, though, SO many other great characters have surfaced. Jimmy's got a knack for creating interesting (fictional!) people. So.... have we forgotten anyone else? Any characters from JB books/son...

The Seaside.. Folly Beach, SC... Old bar, right on the Ocean....but Hugo took it away in 1989.. It was teeny tiny inside and only people who didn't know the place or anyone in there sat inside....HUGE deck outside, right on the water.. There were some of the regulars, who we called the "Hula H...

I'm ready for a trip back to Florida for more.

Yep, I've still got a six-pack in the fridge. The Florida line is about an hour and fifteen minutes away, so I may have to head back down the road!

m & mm, you have to admit it's nice to be able to peel and stick the Landshark "keepsake" label right onto our Hoot Island name tags!! The labels really do work kinda like decals... peel and stick to decorate. :P I peeled off some labels and stuck them on coffee mugs. They work nicely...

yes. I'm not sure if you're pair-rot-head or parrot-the-D

Actually, the double T's are a play on the double T's of BuffeTT, and "hed" is newspaper shorthand for "head," such as a headline....

Ok,gotta question,is this beer only being shipped cold to the stores in Florida?The reason I asked is Dear,sweet,mother-in-law of Inked Parrotthead was gonna ship some up to me from Florida but can only find it cold,and you know hat happens to beer when it is cold then warm,then cold again. You can...

Um, you really have to ask?

The only concession I made to the weather was wearing jeans instead of shorts. But when I left NY last Wednesday morning it was 12 degrees, the weather we had down in Florida was not cold. :lol: Shucks, I wore shorts! (Of course, I wear them year 'round!) It was good meeting you folks and sharing o...

Is anybody else heading to Key West in July for Hemingway Days?
We have attended several over the years and are making another trip this summer to mark the 20th anniversary of when we first visited.
We haven't been to Key West in a little over two years, so it's time to go back to the island!

it is pretty sad though that they cant even be whole noles and they have to be SEMI-NOLES!! I had an uncle who used to live in Jacksonville and was a Gator fan. He used to call the FSU Seminoles those "half-assed Indians: the 'Semi-Holes!' Anyway, see y'all in Tallahassee on Saturday. I'll be ...

The question here is "what day" you truly became a parrothead. I can tell you the exact day.... Although I was familiar with some of Buffett's songs back in the mid 1970s, it wasn't until my first trip to the Florida Keys that I was truly hooked. The day? Sunday, July 19, 1987 -- that's th...
