ROCK ON BUFFETIKI! Oh and I like magarita's also, on the rocks or frozen. ROCK ON MY MAN with the Most from the Gulf COAST.

STAY! By the way, many of us have jobs where there is a computer next to us all day. We just love to check in to Tiki Central.

"Can you feel the love tonight....."

Please try to follow our House Rules...

I vote for you to go. Really.

Buffetiki, you make people laugh, but please don't make extra work for me.

You may think it's funny to make a post directly against the house rules, with a subject in all caps and a bunch of asterisks in your post, but I don't. I have to fix this shit becuase people complain about it.

You're taking a joke too far. I am requesting that you stop posting just to make people laugh. If you're another Tiki Central posting in an alternate account, then I say: We've all had a laugh, but it's time to shut it down. I don't need crap like this.

"The Margarita really IS a great drink."

I concur it is when made well, but the one I had in Margaritaville in Key West was the worst I've ever had! So much for Jimmy Buffet's empire, that is practically based on the drink, and they can't even make a good one.

No, I'm not embarrassed that I went to Margaritaville once. It was really mrsmiley's idea to go :wink:

Indeed I have and the resulting mess underlines your argument perfectly.

I'm with Hanford.

Dear Buffetiki,

(This is Shelley speaking, mind you.)

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)

It is obvious that the mana is with the Minnesota tiki Twins! I think we should all go watch the Twins go to the World Series!!!!!!!!Yaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!It is much more positive! To all my friends in California-see your teams next season!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Dane, you out there?

Shelly, I didnt know you were from Mississippi! From one Mississippian to another! Aloha! I live about 80 miles from where you grew up. I love the coast, other than the water. I admit that I too grew up on JB also. Hell, he went to the same college as I. University of Southern Mississippi in Hattiesburg. Small world I tell ya!

It occurs to me that there is a scary precedent....I was looking at my KU tiki and it seems he has a mullet...like I would imagine our inane buffetiki would sport....

Please don't try to drag Southern-ness into this. I was raised in the southland, and live here, but that doesn't mean I am a redneck or hillbilly. Nor does it mean I like Southern Rock, or even Rock at all. And it certainly doesn't mean I take your side Buffetiki. Although your post implies you listen to the Clash (?).

I have seen your type in Internet lists for 10 years. I thought maybe that period had ended. Chances are, you will do things to get yourself banned, and then rejoin with a new screen name, and mess the whole thing up for everyone. But I don't actually believe you are a stranger to Tiki Central.

Go. Go into the dry country where you shall seek rest and find none.

No offense Swanky, But if you are from TN and born there, you are officially a Hillbilly as I am a Redneck because I was born in Mississipp. Same goes for People born in Louisiana, they are CoonAsses!

Accept your Heritage, Do not deny it!*

*(So not to offend any of you soft hearted liberal types, I am saying this in a joking manner!)

Handford,
Sincerely I did not mean to put you to work cleaning up after me.
I have read the horse rules that tikimug showed and i promise to follow them next time I write any thing.
To tell you the truth I do not have internet at my home and I am not infront of a internet computer alot so I will not be on Tikicentral alot.
so really you aint gone have to worry about too much anyways.
Keep it STEADY,
buffetiki.

Unless you are from the area, you should not use the "H" word. Just like the "N" word is reserved. No flatlanders may call us Hillbillies.

Being around a lot of Rockabilly folk, we just use the term "Billy."

Now, you must understand that my family came from, and many of them live on, the farm. I have a cousin who built his own log cabin, without electricity and eats what he kills. His home is literally on the mountain and you need a horse, 2 feet or an ATV to get to it. A really good guy. I speak the language. I am fluent in deep Southern. But I have lived in the city for decades and would have, dare I say it, moved to New York or Chicago ages ago wer it not for my daughter.

I know my roots. I don't hate them. But I have moved on.

It is funny to me that there is a very real form of bias around the South. I know many people who would pay more for things if they have to to buy it from a Southerner rather than a Northerner. I don't know if that happens up north, but down South, Yankee is a really negative term. You can live here for 30 years and still be referred to as a Yankee.

But at least I don't live in Arkansas... :)

Amen to that! Oh and I bet me and your cousin could share some stories on what we have killed and ate.

Hey Buffetiki!

I love the Clash reference!

Now get the Hell out!

This is not a vote or edict. You decide. You wanna post? Then post.

Just be down with Tiki.

The rest is easy.
