You know you're a Parrothead when every time you meet somebody,you bring Jimmy Buffett up to find out if they're a Parrothead.

Happens to me all the time.
Someone starts talking boats,islands,or anything nautical and I make a Buffett reference to see if they catch it.

you know you're a parrot head when 1. you take out more student loans than you need, knowing you may need the extra $$$ for travel to see the rev. 2. you wake up singing buffett songs every morning. 3. you dream about him playing in your town (albuquerque) somehow, someway. 4. have tickets, will travel, and travel a long ways. 5. construct a new hat for every show trying to outdo the hat from the previous show. 6. you compare everything to the experience of a buffett concert, and it never measures up.

i forgot one, how about when people question your drinking habits and you shrug them off telling them that you're simply staying in shape for the greatest party on earth.

damn, listening to the houston show right now and he's playing no woman no cry. god i wish i was there.

when you are 20 yrs old and your parents tell stories about you at 5 yrs old singing "why don't we get drunk" in front of your grandparents and them trying to make your g-parents understand what it is you are singing

You are willing to scale a 20 ft wall, then run about a half mile around Great Woods to scale another 10 ft high chain link fence, to get caught by the Great Woods Security just to see Buffett. And if you convince them to let you stay...you're even more of a Parrot Head. Of course this is neccesarry only if tickets sold out before you could get your hands on some!

You refuse to have sex in the month of December, worried that REAL labor will interfere with a Labor Day show.

You know you're a Parrot Head when:

1. You want "Love in the Library" played at your wedding.

2. You have to coordinate your wardrobe so that your Hawaiian shirts and your Hawaiian car seat covers don't clash.

3. Listening to "Songs You Know By Heart" on your headphones every night was your security blanket during boot camp.

4. You want "Why Don't We Get Drunk (And Screw)" played at your wedding.

5. You justify studying for finals accompaied by a pitcher of maragaritas by reasonong that Jimmy probably did that in college too.

You know your a parrothead, when customers at work, ask you to please turn off the JB because thats all they ever hear you play ( 8 hrs a day at work)

Swear to God all of these are the unvarnished truth...

#1. You tell your English teacher matter-of-factly that Margaritaville is not a place, but a state of mind.

#2. The first thing you buy for your dorm room is a Jimmy poster.

#3. It's 9:30 at night, 31 degrees outside, you've just gotten off work. You roll down all the windows in the car and blast Jimmy on your way home, screaming along at the top of your lungs.

#4. You name your boat "The Bama".

#5. You stick Jimmy bumper stickers on your boat.

#6. God knows you've TRIED to put JB bumper stickers on your parent's car, but they always mysteriously dissapear. ::sigh::

#7. You watch The Weather Channel for the sole purpose of getting the weather for Key West.

#8. When Christmas rolls around you can't help but utter, "Yo ho ho..."

#9. You are, truly, the type of person your parents warned you about, and you couldn't be happier.

#10. The only--ONLY--reason you own "Cobb" and "Congo" are because Jimmy makes a cameo.

you're only 16 years old , but you've been a diehard parrothead since you were 10 when ur dad 1st played Jimmy's Grapefruit-Juicy Fruit for you.....you read Jimmy's novels for book reports and every project you ever do for school is somehow Jimmy Buffett related.

When your on this website more at work than your company site!
~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~

you name all your kids after a Jimmy Buffett Song.

-- YOU ALWAYS HAVE YOUR 6 DISC CD CHANGer and the cd-rom in ur puter still has FSOTW and u havent taken it out since the day u bought it, which of course was the day it went on sale..and the only time u didnt listen to it was tonite cuz u were listenin to the NASHVEGAS show..
--you know where NASHVEGAS,HOTLANTA, are
--you don't know the last tour your hawaiin shirt was washed..it just stinks of smoke,boze and sweat and u like it..
--you joined a PHC in your area and go to all the events

Your only escape to a "sane" world is to listen to a Buffett CD. Isn't that ironic?

1. Your son could perform the entire version of GOD'S OWN DRUNK by heart when he was 5.

2. You take your 62 year old mother to a Buffett concert for HER birthday.

3. You mark Buffett's television appearences on your calendar and plan your social life around them.

4. You pay $150 for 2 tickets and fly your only child in from New Mexico for the latest tour event.

5. You LIVED the story line of A PIRATE LOOKS AT FORTY.

See ya'll in Dallas.

--Honey do...is more then just for breakfast
-- You want to visit the Dixie Diner or have been
--you use the letters PH inplace of F's in words like Phriends
--You have tried to aply to Domino College
--You have worn a beer barrel to a show and held up a sign sayin" kiss me i'm a baker and monty i should cuould use the dough"
--"you had to be there" is not just a saying you say to ur buddys
--

1. You have spent the last two days having serious conversions regarding the best way to attach the fin to the top of the van, (without doing d*mage to the fin!)

2. Preparing for the concert requires a minimum of three weeks (full time) and:
a. 1 massive order from Oriental Trading
b. 3 trips to Wal-Mart
c. 2 trips to the grocery store
d. 1 trip to the hardware store
e. a critique of the closet Hawaiian shirt inventory.
f. 1 trip to the liquor store (this should have been letter "a"!)
g. Bribing Grandma to come stay with the keets.
h. a 3-page list of "essentials to take to the concert" ranging from duct tape, fishing line, and toilet paper, to salt, limes (bring a knife), and lighter fluid.

3. When you take your copies of "Joe Merchant" and "A Pirate Looks at 50" to the concert, in case, somehow, someway, you could get them autographed by Jimmy.

4. When your kids decorate your house for your anniversay with your Parrothead "stuff" cause they know it's your favorite party theme.

5. When your learn Publishing Software just so you can spend a week making banners for the party tent. (Colored ink cartidges sure are expensive...).

6........when all the ideas on here are either something you've done or something you wish you had thought of. They don't sound obsessive at all, just creative!!


PHINS UP!!!!!!!!!!

--The church you belong to is the Church of Buffett(Cobo.org)
--YOU CHECK THIS LIST TO SEE WHAT OTHERS HAVE PUT AND LAUGH CUZ ITS SOOOO TRUE
--You do or say one thing everyday that is Buffett related and lurkin the sites doesnt count.
-- The beach is more then just sand and sea weed.. it is your reason for living

This is a true story. If your older brother says, "man, all you listen to is Jimmy Buffett, doesnt he ever get old." My reply to this was, "Jimmy Bufftt NEVER gets old, and just for the record I did listen to the Beach Boys two weeks ago!"
Oh, and if a break from Buffett means you put in the Club Trini live album, you're a parrothead.

~~^~~You play guitar and you have one 3" binder for Buffett songs you've tabbed out and a 1" binder of other music.
~~^~~You host an annual phlocking of 50-60 of your closest friends wearing hawaiian shirts, shorts and flip-flops, drinking margaritas, listening to you and 2-3 of your drunk friends picking Buffett tunes - in February!
~~^~~You develop a profound hatred of TicketMonster when you're first in line at the outlet and they call a lottery and you get @$^&#%@@ number 96!
