Does pot burn brain cells and make you stupid?

Margaritaville

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: Margaritaville (1977)
Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.
1) In this song Jimmy sings of "booze in the blender." What do you prepare in your blender?

Duh... BOOZE..
2) As the song opens, Jimmy is sitting on his front porch swing. Describe the front porch of the building you're in right now.

I don't have one.  My house is on a slab, so I just have a step up into the house.
3) Jimmy sings of being able to smell boiling shrimp. Do you prefer your shrimp boiled, glazed or breaded?

Glazed?  That's weird.  Why would you glaze shrimp?  I like a good old down home crawfish boil - my friend Kim does the best, all sorts of hot stuff and everything - and the shrimp - mmmmmmm mmmmmmmm mmmmmmmmmmm!  Here.  Look for yourself:

 
4) During the song, he mentions his flip flops. Have you put your flip flops and sandals away till spring? Or is it still warm enough to wear them?

Wearing them right now!  Not sure how much longer, but they're a good substitute in the house for slippers LOL
5) Jimmy Buffett had hoped this song would be recorded by Elvis Presley, but The King died before he could perform it. What's the first Elvis song that comes to mind? 

"In the Ghetto"... LOL Especially talking about Jimmy Buffet.  The last show I went to was in Chicago, and we stayed at this crack hotel - there was blood on the walls in the bathroom, no hair driers, drug deals out in the back (pimp daddy was driving a Rolls, too) - just nasty.  And every time we got into the car - I played that song.  LOL
6) Buffett fans are known as Parrotheads. Concert attire for a well-dressed Parrothead often includes a Hawaiian shirt and a foam fin hat. What will you be wearing tonight?

I don't know what I'm doing tonight, but I could find a Parrothead outfit if I needed one.  

7) Loyal Parrotheads paid between $500 and $5000 to see Mr. Buffet at a fundraiser for Barack Obama's 2012 Presidential campaign. What's the most you would pay for a concert ticket?
Depends on who it is.  Where they're at.  I've paid a hundred bucks or so?  Not much more than that.  

8) Jimmy is an outspoken environmentalist and supports causes like ocean conservation, saving the manatees and expanding the Dallas Zoo. What steps do you take to help save the planet? 
I turn in my cans for .10 each.  

9) Uh-oh. When Jimmy and the Coral Reefers played in Wisconsin this past August, more than two dozen concertgoers got tickets for possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia. Do you believe pot should be legalized?
Oh Jesus...  according to the kids in the neighborhood it should be, but seeing as how it makes them stupid beyond belief sometimes?  i think not..

Damn splits..

Saturday 9: Roar (recommended by Cat)

If you're not familiar with today's song, you can hear it here.

1) The lyrics begin with Katy singing about when she used to "hold her tongue." Tell us about a time when you didn't speak up, but wish you had.
BAAAAAAHAHAHAHA  Me?  NOT speak up?  Don't be silly...

2) The lyrics mention both lions and tigers. In addition to the big cats, the video shows a monkey and an elephant. If we were going to the zoo today, which animal would you want to see first?
The Jackalope

3) Lions and tigers are carnivores. If we were having steak for dinner, would you order it rare, medium or well done?
Medium rare.. and it makes me sad all those times when I was younger and ordered it well done, because I just didn't know any better

4) Lots of photos are snapped at the zoo. Did you take your last picture with a camera or with your phone?
Phone.  I've actually thought of selling my "real" camera because I really don't use it much.  I love it, but it's big and bulky and either I use my phone or the small point & shoot that I have.

5) The "Roar" video takes place in the jungle. The average temperature all year around in the rainforest is a humid 80º. The typical September day in Juneau is 49º, dry and sunny. Which sounds more comfortable?
Oh my 80 and humid sounds like hell...  I'll take 49 dry and sunny any day.  Better for the hot flashes.

6) In her youth, Katy took dance lessons at the local recreation hall in Santa Barbara. Crazy Sam took tap dance lessons as a girl, too. What about you? Were you sent off to dance class? Music lessons? Art class?
LOOK.... just because I couldn't do a split like those other bitches, Cathy Corrigan's Dance Studio kicked me out.  Talk about a failure at a young age...

7) Katy recently passed Justin Bieber as the most followed person on Twitter. What's the last message you re-tweeted?
"20 years ago we had Johnny Cash, Bob Hope and Steve Jobs.. Now we have no cash, no hope and no jobs.  Please don't let Kevin Bacon die"..

8) Congratulations! You just won the lottery! Do you want it in a lump sum, or would you prefer payments over the next 25 years?
Depends on the amount.  Probably a lump sum - I'd rather earn the interest on it rather than the lottery..
 
9) Did you get 8 hours sleep last night?
Oh yes.... Yes I did
