This is for Bob & Scott.....

I bought a Jimmy Buffet CD - Meet Me in Margaritaville!!!!!!! :thumbsup2

We listened to it the whole day when we were driving from store to store....Mom and I both laughed when we heard the song "We Are The People Our Parents Warned Us About"!!!!!! Mom said that fit us (the 11 night cruisers) to a "T".....

Does this mean I'm a Parrothead now???????
Well. Can you answer the following.....(and no Googling)
What is Jimmy Buffett's birthday?
Which member of his band is nicknamed "Robot" and where is he from?
What was Billy Voltaire and where is he buried?

O.K. I know that was too hard. I was once told that if you think you are a Parrohead, then you are.
I was once e-mailed the following.>>>

You don't need us to tell you: You know who you are. You have a fin welded to your car; you're not too proud to sing along, loudly, with Why Don't We Get Drunk ...

Your tickets are in hand, and even though this one's not a Riverbend show, you can't resist — just as you haven't resisted for — how many years? Don't ask, don't tell, and there's no need to reveal yourself to those who refuse to succumb to the magic of the Jimmy Buffett experience.

Still, in case there's any doubt, here's a little test to tell where you fit in on the attitude/latitude continuum, presented with a tip of the pineapple to Jeff Foxworthy.

You might be a parrothead if ...

... you order yours with ketchup and tomato, Heinz 57 and french-fried potato, a big kosher pickle and a cold draft beer.

... of the 25 shirts in your closet, 23 of them are Hawaiian prints, and you've never left the mainland.

... you have a battery-operated blender, 'coz you just never know.

... you know where 24° 33' N 81° 45' W is.

... despite good advice, you're still trying to reason with hurricane season.

... your salt shaker is lost.

... you drive a pickup, just so you can fill the bed with sand and sit "on the beach."

... you have a dog named Cap't Tony. Or Savannah Jane. Or Cuervo. Or Buddy Bear (because of his island-sized paws).

... your Buffett-raised kids think Dorothy got the phrase wrong when she heads off to see the wizard.

... all your vacation postcards read, "Weather is here, wish you were beautiful." Your friends might be parrotheads if they don't take offense.

... your feet have flip-flop tan lines.

... Ohio State fans come to you for lessons in tailgating.

... tequila and lime are the base of your personal food pyramid.

...Margaret and Elaine, you will be a Parrot Head when you can do “fins”, and some other secret stuff that Bob and I will make up.

Hey Bob, Jimmy owes us , since we have turned all these folks onto his music. At least he could give us a CD, or some really good concert tickets.

Secret Stuff? Shhhhh!

Ya we can do the "phins" at the sail away.

Give us something? :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

Bob, I did look up your house on google earth. At least I think I did. Do you have a golf course behind you?
I thought I felt someone looking over my shoulder. :lmao:
Brrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Actually no.
If I would have added the seconds to the lat&long, it would be closer. As it is, that puts you within ½ mile. Being slightly vague, I don't have to worry about someone looking down at me while I'm in the hot tub. :teeth:
And that's where I'm heading ....
"there's booze in the blender,
and soon it will render,
that frozen concoction that helps me hang on.
"


Later dudes.
 
Well. Can you answer the following.....(and no Googling)
What is Jimmy Buffett's birthday?
Which member of his band is nicknamed "Robot" and where is he from?
What was Billy Voltaire and where is he buried?

Oh Oh Oh OH I know, call on me call on me oh oh oh, cause if ya don't it will be a Cuban crime of Passion .... LOL At least you didn't wait till Christmas to ask this, or before the Valcano blows.
 
Just trying to keep everyone updated with the following: If there is enough interest, I will send another e-mail to Palo's at DCL. If you were on Sunshine56's list, please let me know. If enough are intrested, we can request more than one day for Brunch

I will be glad to send the list in and request whichever days are requested.

For anyone that would like to be included, let me know by PM and I'll try and get whatever is desired from everyone.

The private room cannot be requested unless I have 14 names and reservation numbers to give to them. At that point I will be able to reserve the room. I did contact Palo's thru DCL within the last two weeks and nothing can be reserved until they get that information.

The Brunch is only on Sea days

For anyone who would like to link together for Bunch, let me know the following:

number of people in your party w/o first/last names

your reservation number

the day that you want

the approximate time that you would like


and I will work from that information

Our sea days are:

9/18 (remember the scrapbooking class is 11:30 - 1 pm)

9/19 (the jammie breakfast is 8:00 to 9:30)

9/25

9/26


Any suggestions will be gladly accepted

Okay...I guess I'm not ready to be a Parrothead yet since I have no idea of the answers to any of those qeustions.....I guess I have to earn my "fins" (or is it "phins") first.....but I have been to The Margaritaville Cafe and store in Key West....and I have a picture to prove it......
 
Cap'n Crash- I hope this is a GOOD trucker show and not a BAD trucker show. We have HD at home, we want a slingbox so we can watch our DVR out here on the road. It is a pretty kewl system. :thumbsup2 I just wanted to post some pics so you all could see my loverly family. I just hope we didn't crack anyone's screen! I was working on my digi scrapbook program to try to post pics in my sig that are side by side that don't take up so much space. I have been off-line for a while because we have been in the LAND OF ENCHANTMENT (my ****!) New Mexico. No good service here but now we are on the outskirts of Albequerque so we have signal. I have been lucky this weekend because we decided to ease on into CA and I have only had to drive a few hours. :Pinkbounc :Pinkbounc Is there really a rule about pics? I can take them off if needed, I'd hate to annoy anyone! :listen:
 
Glad to see you guys only posted 4 pages while I was gone. Now I gotta keep up and catch up, though yesterday I posted like 14 or more.

We'll be there in 34 1/2 days!! :banana: :cheer2: Hey all you South Floridians, come to Key West September 10 and we'll have the first pre-cruise party then you can all drive back home and we'll get back on the Magic :sunny: What do you say?? :confused3 :yay:
 
IMonso- DS16 will not be going on this cruise (despite much begging and pleading) I wish he was but he just can't miss that much school because it seems to take him longer than most to catch up. Sorry! but I'm sure there will be plenty of kids your ds's age, I've found that no matter what time of year we go there are ALWAYS teenagers there. :wizard:
 
Forgot to mention...

Scott I'm guessing the travel thing you were talking about was the Traveling Overseas...1-10 section?? If so, that was from Gail (glindamood). Sorry Gail, it was late and I was strapped for space so I couldn't acknowledge you. :goodvibes
 
HOPEFULLY.....if all goes according to plan.....
6 weeks from right now, we will back at Grills waving to the Magic as she heads out.
Gotta find some big Mickey hands.

...
That's a good one. Kinda covers it all.
Jimmy Buffett Buffett Live Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays CD is a good one also. Has Southern Cross on it.
Another good live CD is Feeding Frenzy.

I like the live ones. Have more energy. More bass.
It's great to hear him perform live at a concert or on the internet as it seems he always forgets the words to one of his own songs. Go figure. :confused3
That's what happens when you get old...

Right Leslie?
 
This comes a little late for all the Croc people out there:

Crocs to Debut Disney Footwear in Fall

What is a Parrothead?


Parrotheads
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Parrothead is a commonly used nickname for fans of Jimmy Buffett. The common stereotype is a person wearing a hawaiian shirt, flip-flops, board shorts, and drinking a margarita, however many fans are members of parrothead clubs. The general theme of being a Parrothead is one of relaxation and being on a permanent mental vacation, even while working. The more "professional" aspect is to wear high-end tropical vacation clothing, such as Tommy Bahama, though this is likely seen by many as a departure from the "true tenets" of being a Parrothead as it points to a more expensive lifestyle than is commonly associated with being a tropical beach bum.

The term "Parrotheads" originated at Timber Wolf ampitheater in Kings Island Cincinnati Ohio, in 1985. These groups 'party with a purpose', and hold fundraiser events for different causes. Events range from single act concerts or happy hours to the annual Meeting of the Minds in Key West, Florida, which attracts approximately 3,500 parrotheads each year. The several day event, sponsored by the Parrot Heads in Paradise includes live music, but also a Toys for Tots drive, a blood drive, raffles and other events to raise money for charities. Some regional groups will focus on one or two key charities, while others may switch between several. Environmental causes, cancer research, alzheimer's research and the march of dimes all have received large donations from parrothead organizations. In 2005 2.2 million dollars was raised by these organizations, along with toys, blood, canned goods and many hours of manpower to support various charities in the US and beyond.
