Jimmy Buffett Pays For Own Drink For First Time In 17 Years

September 14, 2006

MIAMI BEACH, FL—Entertainment personality and novelty-song writer Jimmy Buffett sustained confusion Monday after being forced to hand over approximately $10 for an alcoholic beverage he ordered at Miami Beach's Beachcombover's Dugout Bar And Grill, an incident that had not occurred since the late 1980s. "I'm still not sure how it happened—I ordered a Long Island Iced Tea, drank it, and got up to leave as usual, but then the bartender stopped me, and I didn't know what he wanted me to do," said Buffett, 60, who composed a bitter yet theoretically humorous ballad about the incident later that day. "When he requested money for the drink, I thought, well, that's reasonable. But then no one would give him any." Bar staff said that perhaps the timing of the incident contributed to Buffett's predicament, since during the day potential drink-buyers typically spend their weekday afternoons managing shoe stores, adjusting claims, or entering data.

Florida State University To Phase Out
Academic Operations By 2010

September 14, 2006 | Onion Sports

SARASOTA, FL—Bowing to pressure from alumni, students, and a majority
of teaching professors of Florida State University, athletic director Dave
Hart Jr. announced yesterday that FSU would completely phase out all
academic operations by the end of the 2010 school year in order to make
athletics the school's No. 1 priority. "It's been clear for a while that Florida
State's mission is to provide the young men and women enrolled here with
a world-class football program, and this is the best way to cut the fat and
really focus on making us No. 1 every year," Hart said. "While it's certainly
possible for an academic subsidiary to bring a certain amount of prestige
to an athletic program, the national polls have made it that our non-athletic
operations have become a major distraction." FSU's restructuring program
will begin with the elimination of the College of Arts and Sciences, effective
October 15.

Obviously everything you read on the internet is true.

JB mentions in A Pirate Looks at Fifty that he prefers to drink his tequila straight as opposed to in a margarita.

He does mention, however that on New Years Eve he ordered a margarita with his conch salad while abroad.
