Jimmy, Jimmy, can I open the show in Atlanta, please
Ignore me, don't ever start a band
I read the lyrics were: Ladies and Gentlemen, The Carl Reiner Band
And the last line is "Warning, don't ever start a band"
How the heck do you get those boxes with parts of a post to appear on a reply? Hope you know what I mean.
PA Phinhead, just click on "quote" over in the right of the box you actually want to quote.

Stop me if I've told this one before...
too late
During
Boat Drinks, when he sings, "
I gotta fly to st. somewhere"
I thought he was saying, "
I've got a plot of sand somewhere"
as if remembering a forgotten beach house or island hideaway.
I like mine better

In The Weather Is Here it sounds to me like "Finger's is on deck" in the beginning

My keet is almost 5 and she askes me "Momma, what is "Jeemy" saying?" (She's southern like her Mom) I had to explain who John Wayne was in Incommunicado and why a pole was Ma Bell in Life is Just a Tire Swing. You can't start them too young with good culture.

The other night I was listening to the recent San Jose show and I caught my four year old keet singing along to WDWGDAS......and I braced myself to see what she was going to sing when it came to the infamous line.....
She sang: "Why don't we get drunk, that's true"!

Back to Jai-Alai, if you're coming down to the Lauderdale show, you should spend a couple hours one evening at the Dania Fronton. It is at the intersection of US1 and A1A. They have a sports bar and simulcast betting there. If you watch the match, read up on the rules and how it's played. Although kind of easy to pick up once you watch, knowing the rules will make it easier.
BTW, Hemingway used to frequent the original Miami Fronton which was built in the '20's.
The Dania Fronton is the one Jimmy was talking about in PB.

My 3 year old insists it is " Cheeseburger and Parrot Ice".

Great topic!
When I first heard Margaritaville in 1977, I was 8 years old. I thought he was searching for a "lost shaker of soul." What the hell did I know about putting salt on a margarita glass? Soul made as much sense as salt.
I got my nephew into Buffett at an early age and he thought Jimmy was singing about "four lonely days in my brown baggy Hanes"! If you're wearin' a pair of Hanes for four days, they would be baggy and you would definitely be lonely!!

They probably too young to know what a poptop was
I had to have it explained to me when I was younger.
Anybody who went to the beach barefoot in the 60s or 70s has stepped on a poptop and cut their heel. I know I did! That's why they started making them stay attached. And no wonder they started that urban legend to collect the poptops for some kid with leukemia or for dialysis, so that people wouldn't drop those curly razorsharp menaces on the ground!
A remora

I love this topic... Great comments!
I wondered for 25 years what "feels like Airamori" was in Fins... Thought it was some reference to some kind of Greek character I'd never heard of, til my hubby at the last Buffett concert sang it out loud enough for me to hear, and I went "OHHHHH! A remora!" The fish that sucks onto a shark for a ride, that makes sense.

In Jamaica Mistaica, I thought he was saying "conjureplain" instead of ganja plane
I thought conjureplain meant to think or something... sounded like a word! ... I was 14 so I guess thats not really that dopey of me, I don't think I knew what ganja meant.
