so up here in Missoula Montana there are few public references to JB, so when I see one i get very excited. A new bar just opened up downtown and some friends and I went to check it out a few nights ago, we walked in the back door which to my joy had a quote next to it from Jimmy! (it's "we are the people our parents warned us about" not my favorite song or quote, but at least people see it)
what ruined it was that of course his name was spelled with one T -gasp!!! the first thing i did when i went up to the bar was tell the bartender about the mistake, he was embarrassed and said he would talk to his boss. I like the bar, but hate seeing the name spelled wrong (its etched into a granite wall) so I'm thinking that next time I'm there i will take a sharpie and make things right. what would you do?

I laughed when Albert, Cin, the girls and I drove by the IHOP on exit 68 (I think) in Orlando last weekend... with the flashing "rolling dot sign" advertising their "Breakfast Buffett"!

Maybe they were playing Jimmy's music during the buffet?
