You are welcome to stay as long as you stop pissing off the person who works the hardest at keeping this site up and running, my main man, Hanford. (Hanford, I will be laying two kisses on your picture tonight, for putting up with buffetiki, and because I love to irritate Mr. Mad Alnshely as much as possible.) Now about all this JB/Margaritaville sillyness... Please stop embarrassing this genteel young lady from Pascogoula, MS!! (GASP!) Ashamedly, you are the embodiment of the Good Ol' Boy Southern Redneck, who slathers his lowbrow posts with ridiculous, sterotypical, and unbecoming "southern style" remarks. (Though, you might have made me snicker.) As a Southerner living in So. Cal., I will continue to defend my heritage and family and do my best to convince others that not everyone from the "Redneck Riviera" is so bass-ackwards. Some of us are actually civilized. Hmph. Yes, as I sit here today in front of my oversized monitor, being the true TCer that I am,...I am not ashamed or too shy to admit that I come from a Buffettized upbringing. In her youth, my mother sailed with the Biloxi and Ocean Springs Junior Yachtsmen teams. She sailed against JB, and they grew up with the same Gulf Coast crowd. My mother still goes to see him when he plays in Gulfport, and she pays for her ticket just like everyone else. As a child a Buffett fan, I knew all the words to "Margaritaville" before I was 13, and I would seranade our crew as we sailed up and down the East Coast and down to the Bahamas and VIs. All of that said, there is a time and place for everthing. JB and Margaritas are not and will never be tiki! Period. I don't care how many of his stupid album covers or shirts have tikis on them, JB sings of islands in the Carribean, not Polynesia. Most importantly...RUM, not tequila, is the life blood of Tiki Culture. And I enthusiastically agree with Big Bro, one of the greatest contributions of South American and Cuban culture is definately the Mojito!! So please, Buffetiki, don't mistake your hors d'oeuvres fork for a coctail pick, chew gum in public, wear white shoes after Labor Day, or try to mix Buffett and Tiki. You will wind up with a mess that is just plain TACKY! Adieu, Shell in the Pacific (Not the Gulf of Mexico)
