If anyone out there has the pull with the big man himself, ask him to play God’s Own Drunk tonight. I haven’t heard it live in awhile.

For those who didn’t know, Jimmy is in town tomorrow night. No, I don’t have tickets, unless someone wants to score some for me, but I may have to head on down to check out the preshow, who knows, I usually end up with tickets that way.

As many of you know this heathan is a recovering Catholic, and a product of Catholic Schools. If you are offended by religious jokes, get over it, this is meant in great light, and is in no way derogortory to any religion. This story involves parrots and hookers, with a touch of religious intent.
What, you ask, why do I call myself a heathen? In answer to that, I ask if you actually know what the term means… Wikipedia defines it as: A modern heathen is a non-believer in anything supernatural. In older definitions, it is defined as: 1 : an unconverted member of a people or nation that does not acknowledge the God of the Bible 2 : an uncivilized or irreligious person.
For my purposes, we’ll go with the Wikipedia version – I look at things to logically, from a scientific method, and Occam’s razor does apply to my beliefs (“All things being equal, the simplest solution tends to be the best one.” )- hell Occam himself was a Franciscan Friar in the 1300’s, so I guess you can say the Catholic Church even has my back in my beliefs…Â
Did I say something about hookers and a parrot?
Catholic Parrots
A lady goes to her priest one day and tells him, “Father, I have a problem. I have two female parrots, but they only know how to say one thing.”
“What do they say?” the priest inquired.
They say, “Hi, we’re hookers! Do you want to have some fun?”, she confessed to the Father.
Â
That’s obscene!” the priest exclaimed, then he thought for a moment. “You know,” he said, “I may have a solution to your problem. I have two male talking parrots, which I have taught to pray and read the Bible. Bring your two parrots over to my house, and we’ll put them in the cage with Francis and Peter. My parrots can teach your parrots to praise and worship, and your parrots are sure to stop saying that phrase in no time.”
“Thank you,” the woman responded, “this may very well be the solution.”
The next day, she brought her female parrots to the priest’s house. As he ushered her in, she saw that his two male parrots were inside their cage holding rosary beads and praying. Impressed, she walked over and placed her parrots in with them.
After a few minutes, the female parrots cried out in unison: “Hi, we’re hookers! Do you want to have some fun?”
There was stunned silence. Shocked, one male parrot looked over at the other male parrot and exclaimed, “Put the beads away, Frank. Our prayers have been answered!”

As my daughter Tanner would say “Ta Da!” You guys have a great weekend!

Cut and paste from one of the news sites. We’ve seen this guy several times, and Jaymie’s Key West boyfriend, Silverman, was listed on this article.
 
KEY WEST – Patrick the Escape Artist entertains crowds at Mallory Square’s nightly Sunset Celebration by hanging upside-down from a 10-foot tripod and freeing himself from chains and straitjackets.
But at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday — after reminding the crowd that Halloween was the 80th anniversary of Harry Houdini’s death — Michael Patrick drastically altered his routine: Tightly wrapped in a straitjacket, he did a back-flip off a ledge and plunged into the fast-moving Key West Harbor waters, 35-feet deep.
He didn’t resurface.
The unsuspecting tourists thought it was part of the act. But for those who knew Patrick, 55, who has worked at Mallory Square for 15 years, the plunge was so unusual they feared the worst.
Two fellow performers and three police officers dove into the strong current. When they failed to find Patrick, four agencies launched an all-out search-and-rescue mission. The U.S. Coast Guard sent in a helicopter from Miami.
Three hours later, the search was suspended with Patrick’s plight a mystery. Was he dead from a tragic accident? Was it suicide? Or something else?
”I was not able to sleep, thinking he might be dead,” said Patrick’s friend and fellow performer, Joseph Burai, who jumped into the water without concern that his shiny Silver Man makeup could lure barracudas.
Wednesday morning, hours after search efforts began again, Key West police found Patrick hiding at a Key West guesthouse.
Now, Patrick the Escape Artist is jailed at the Monroe County Detention Center, charged with culpable negligence. Police say he endangered the lives of those who dove in to rescue him.
”His actions placed concerned citizens and members of the Key West police and fire department’s dive teams in jeopardy, and that is not something that we take lightly,” Key West Police Chief Bill Mauldin said in a statement.
Patrick told police he was planning a press conference to reveal his hoax when they found him too soon and ruined his big “ta-da.”
Despite the havoc Patrick caused, including putting his pal Burai’s life in danger, Burai was forgiving. ”It was a good trick,” he said. “He’s still my friend. And it’s better they found him alive than dead.”
One mystery remains. How did Patrick pull off the disappearance? Even under good conditions it takes about three minutes for him to escape from the straitjacket.
Patrick would not reveal his ”magician secrets,” police said.
If cops have their way, Patrick the Escape Artist will need to escape from debt: Police say they will seek restitution — to the tune of $25,000 — for the cost of the search-and-rescue efforts.

I assume everyone is listening to the concert in Chicago tonight on Radio Margaritaville? Only 3 more days until Noblesville. You’ll find me in my typical tailgating spot, in VIP parking, though I will probably not be in the same parking spot as I have been the last 5 or 6 years. There are going to be a bunch of people from Buffett News meeting up, and we will likely all park together to hang out. If you are going, be sure to look me up for the tailgate.
Fins!

I don’t ask much of anyone who stumbles onto this site, except to normally just enjoy what you are reading. I am on a Jimmy Buffett email list, and one of the other people on the list is a finalist in a contest for Sirius Radion/Radio Margaritaville, and I am asking you to please help out a nice young lady in need of your vote (what, you thought I was the one singing? Hahahaha!). This is a contest on RadioMargaritaville / Sirius to win a trip to Boston to see Jimmy Buffett in concert August 10th and be a guest on Savannah Jane Buffett’s pre-concert show. Megan (mermaidindisguise) is among 5 finalists selected based on call-in singing of a Buffett tune. She is the only female and of the other 4 finalists 3 are semi-professionals and one appears to be there for comic relief. Megan is just a regular working person but she can really sing and it would be a once-in-a-lifetime dream come true if she could win. It takes less than a minute to click on the link below (copy &paste if clicking link doesn’t work), click next to her name, and then click VOTE. It seems only one vote is allowed per IP address so if you can vote at home &work and tell your friends to help as well. THANKS so much in advance! Voting will be held until Monday 7/17/06 12:00pm ETÂ
Please help out by clicking the link below and voting for Megan Mohr:

Someone on one of the email lists I am on put together a list of songs in the same theme as JB’s BBBB set, only this time, using no Buffett. This is a great concept and the songs are fantastic. If you want to see the list, click here or select the link on the right for “Ultimate BBBB”.
The only thing I think they are missing is Red, Red Wine by UB40, for the Bars album, though that may have been done on purpose, as, no matter how much I like UB40, it is an over-played song…

I have got all the hardwood down in the living room, and rented a drum sander this morning first thing to get everything sanded. I got the drum sander back, and was home in plenty of time to stain, so now I can poly the floors starting tonight. I just might have everything done in there and de-fumigated by Sunday, so I can go get my bird… I’m excited and really looking forward to it.
And in other news, bird flu has been found to have spread to Florida by migrating Flamingos.

help?
