Saturday 9 with Jimmy Buffett...

Boat Drinks

Welcome to Saturday: 9. What we've committed to our readers is that we will post 9 questions every Saturday. Sometimes the post will have a theme, and at other times the questions will be totally unrelated. Those weeks we do "random questions," so-to-speak. We encourage you to visit other participants posts and leave a comment. Because we don't have any rules, it is your choice. We hate rules. We love memes, however, and here is today's meme!

Saturday 9: Boat Drinks (1979)

Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.

1) Jimmy Buffett is singing about his bandmates watching hockey in a sports bar. Since it's Super Bowl weekend, our first question is: In cold weather, which sport do you watch most: football, hockey, or basketball?  We haven't been watching much hockey because the Flyers are having a horrible season. BUT we have been watching the Eagles football and Villanova basketball.  If they are on television, we watch them.  I enjoy it, too, by the way.

2) Jimmy sings it's just 20º outside. How high will the mercury reach where you are today?  It is to be 76° today, as it was yesterday. Beautiful!!

3) "Boat drinks" are mixed drinks designed to enhance the enjoyment of a boat ride or time on the beach. Popular boat drinks include The Tequila Sunrise, Cuba Libre, and Mimosa. When did you last sip an alcoholic beverage? Was it a boat drink?  I had a glass of wine with our dinner guests last Saturday evening. I don't care for sweet drinks like the Sunrise. I don't care for champagne so Mimosas are also out. I've never heard of a Cuba Libre. I'm not much of an alcohol drinker.

4) Jimmy met his wife, Jane, in Key West at a bar called The Chart Room. Have you ever been to Key West?  Yes, I have, and once was enough.

5) Have you ever met anyone worth knowing at a bar?  Actually, Joe and I met in a bar/restaurant, so that's a big YES!

6) While Keith Richards and Paul McCartney have made cameo appearances in the Pirates of the Caribbean movies, Jimmy Buffet has not. Producers have asked him, but he's always had to decline because of his touring schedule. Have you seen any of the Pirates/Jack Sparrow movies?  Yes, we have seen all but the latest one and enjoyed them enough to see them again (on DVD).

7) When Jimmy gave the commencement address at the University of Miami, he showed up in flip-flops. How many pairs of flip-flops do you own? None.

8) Jimmy has his own station on Sirius Radio. Do you subscribe to Sirius? Yes, we do. It came with the new car and we are hooked on the 40s Junction station.  We both love those old big band sounds and silly songs.

9) Random question: What trend or fad from your youth do you hope never makes a comeback?  They have all come back already, for the most part.  I was a teen in the 60s.  Mini skirts, maxi skirts, and hot pants by any other name....
