Saturday 9: Boat Drinks, and their lasting affects....

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.

Want to join in?  Go HERE for the weekly Linkie... It's fun, and something everyone needs more of!

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 to you watch most: football, hockey, or basketball?
Never watch Hockey.  Like Basketball but never watch it.  Don't like Football, BUT...Maybe, maybe... The Super Bowl.  But we'll see. I could say a lot more but I won't.

Junior Seau...Respect!

2) Jimmy sings it's just 20º outside. How high will the mercury reach where you are today?
I think it got up to 70°F today. This is Thursday and I'm doing this now.  Saturday's High is projected to be 74°F.  So, it's getting warmer toward the weekend.

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?
A few months ago, and no, it wasn't a boat drink.  I had wine with dinner out,  for my birthday.  A Mimosa sounds pretty good.  And, if I were to order a drink, it would be a Cadillac Margarita.   I like the taste of them.

4) Jimmy met his wife, Jane, in Key West at a bar called The Chart Room. Have you ever been to Key West?  
Never had the pleasure... Sounds like a lovely place.. now I don't want to go anywhere at all except for Canada.  I'd like to see the West Coast of Canada and of course, the U.S., too.  

5) Have you ever met anyone worth knowing at a bar?
I so seldom was ever even IN a bar that it wasn't likely.  DH and I met at a party but we didn't have any alcohol.  The host was a neighbor and didn't have a bar.  Also, the people I met who were worth knowing, I met in College level classes at the local Jr. College.  

6) While Keith Richard 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?
I've seen them all.  Pirates and/or sailing vessels, of all sizes and descriptions, hold a fascination for me.  I honestly thought Mr.Z and I would own a sailboat and live on it.  Such a starry eyed dreamer.  lol

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 any more. I used to like them.  Now,  I like barefoot sandals or maybe Tevas the best.  Over time, since the 60's, I've made pretty little barefoot sandals but now, not so much.

8) Jimmy has his own station on Sirius Radio. Do you subscribe to Sirius?
No I don't.  I don't even use my iPod all that much, either.  I've learned to love "The Silence."

9) Random question: What trend or fad from your youth do you hope never makes a comeback?  I can't remember any trends other than fashions.  I sewed my own clothes so that is etched in my mind.  Fad?  A-Line dresses?  I hope they don't come back but these things always seem to do just that.  Gah!
