Short, sweet visit to Jimmy Buffett’s at the Beachcomber in Honolulu last week.
Sipping a cold one, crunching on nachos and taking in the tunes on the patio overlooking Waikiki's bustling main drag.
Only outdone by the Myrtle Beach Margaritaville IMO, but I haven't sampled them all.
Yet.
Purchased a coffee mug similar to http://lifestyle.margaritavilleretail.c ... kware.html but with one of my favourite Jimmy lines on it.
Or so I thought.
Upon further review, mine reads "It's a fine line between Saturday Night and Sunday Morning."
Didn't sound right.
(Interestingly, margaritaville.com's lyrics database [http://www.margaritaville.com/jimmybuff ... &ds_id=365] doesn't include the line in Fruitcakes. Hmmm)
But absolutelyrics.com – and my ears – say it's: "Oh, there's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning."
Time for another cup.
Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa
Thin line between typo & collector's item?

Re: Thin line between typo & collector's item?
The cups are neither a misprint nor a collector's item. It's called 'marketing'. That song is something like twenty years old and never was all that big a hit, so many of the people who are now stopping at Margaritaville probably don't know the exact wording of the line anyway. But the sentiment, regardless of the opening word, still hits home for a lot of people.
Now, if when these had first come out Margaritaville had quickly removed them from sale and replaced them in the following couple of days with ones that *DID* say "There's a fine line" etc. *THEN* we might be talking 'error' and thus becoming a collectible.
