More suggestions for our poster boy:

Wow!  What a rush.  I think I'm finally tapping into the QuayleHead.  
Do NOT try this alone.  I would beg that only those of us without 
dependents experiment with probing the QuayleHead.

In all seriousness, should we not keep a file of Danbooster Quotes?  I
have chanced on some pretty funny posts in sci.econ, misc.taxes, and 
other places where one would not expect a lot of humor.  Of course, it 
is the essence of a.f.d.q that no humor was intended -- that's what 
makes it so funny.  Okay, now, everybody scatter.  Dan's gone, but his 
friends are all over the net, filling in for him.  Seems to me there was 
another pirated posting some time back...

Nobody can top the D-Meister, but we should at least run a competition 
for second place.

I'm sure that Dan Quayle's potential for entertaining us in the future
is still strong. However I'm equally sure that Dan's public posture,
like that of most conservative Republicans who are now Outside looking in,
will be to lie low for quite some time, maybe even a couple of years.
And since it seems unlikely that he will be running for national office
even in '94, the opportunities for a good Quayle season anytime soon seem
pretty limited.

However, I'm confident that we won't be left completely high and dry.
After all, Quayle does seem like he wants to be considered the natural heir
of the center-right Republicans. That will mean he'll want to speak out on
issues that concern those types from time to time, and that means there's
always the possibility of another quote for the file. He'll also be stumping
for conservative Repubs in '94, which could be entertaining. Also, there's
this book of his coming up next year, which I could see giving birth to
any number of discussions. And since he won't be holding office I assume
he'll have to try his hand at *something* else - columnist, talk-show
host, attorney (gulp, how would you like to have Danny handling your
personal injury lawsuit?), and it could be amusing to watch him try to
grasp how the real world actually functions.

Finally, you have to admit that with some cultural icons it just doesn't
matter what their actual status is. Take Elvis - does it really matter
that he's actually dead? There are just as many Elvis stories (and
sightings) as there ever were. Danny is like that; he has left such a
rich history in his short time on the national stage that he'll be with
us always.

Excellent response!!!  It just happens that for some reason ZZ Top hasn't made it into my collection yet.  I like their stuff and I was gonna get their
greatest hits CD some day.  Maybe this will prompt me to do that.

Yeah, they definitely have fun.  I dig those furry guitars that spin around...
         [{(<-bringing discussion back to Buffett->)}]

I'm only a somewhat recent Parrothead (6 years or so), anybody seen Jimmy with
any other cool instruments like the shark guitar???  An iguana bass maybe?

	        	How I Became a Parrothead
              
             				by Brett Mellor


	    I don't know, it just happened. My parents are Parrotheads
	but I don't know who introduced them to Jimmy. I kinda got into
	him because my parents listen to him all the time. Before I knew
	what happened, I was buying his CD's. I'm sorry I can't be more
	creative but I just can't remember. I can tell you how I went from
	just a fan to parrothead though.
	
	    I have this thing about heavy metal. When I hear it on the radio,
	the muscians don't sound like they're having fun. When you see a video,
	nobody looks like they're having fun. The music doesn't really sound
	that bad. It's just that they all look miserable. This does not only
	apply to heavy metal.

	    Jimmy Buffett sounds like he is absolutely thrilled to be singing.
	And he is, even on a sad song. Go back and watch Live By the Bay, it's 
	one of my favorite concerts. He's having the time of his life! Listen
	to feeding frenzy. It's outrageously funny. This is why I like his
	live-recorded music so much better than his recorded-recorded music.
	Of course, nothing beats a concert even if you *can't* hear him
	half the time. Although I'm not as privelidged as my parents to know.
 
	

	I wondering if anybody else has run into this problem.

	    When you introduce some Jimmy Buffett to a non-believer,
	do they say it sounds like country? Do you smack them if they do?
	How would you punish them?

There's a place in Carteret, NJ (just off turnpike exit 13 or so) that is
called Burger Express.  Their specialty is the Locomotive which just
happens to be the only burger I've ever heard of that has its own stomach
ache.  They call it the "Train Wreck" and it occurs about 1-2 hours after
eating a locomotive 'with everything.'  It's awful painful, but the
burgers are amazing!

Please consult an atlas before making geographical assertions.
Pascagolua is in Mississippi, and a little south of that town is 
the Gulf of Mexico.  

Jimmy Buffett was born and raised in Mobile AL, northeast of Pascagoula, 
MS.  For those of you who thinkthat facts about Jimmy can only come from his 
songs and that everything he sings is true, I refer you to the voiceover in 
_Stars Fell on Alabama_,"...and right over Spanish Fort into Mobile, my home 
town."

As for the meaning of _The Pascagoula Run_, I refer you to TFM.

Recently I have meet a very special person through the music
of Buffett. I have been thinking a lot lately about Buffett's
music and how it affects my life. I have come to the conclusion that
his music has given me a much brighter and happier outlook on 
life. 

So I was just wondering how many other people feel that their lives
have changed for the better because of Jim's music?

Also how many other people have met real special people through
Buffett's music?

So here is a looking at my mysterious "blonde stranger". Hi kid !!

I remember hearing 'We Are The People Our Parents Warned Us About' for the
