Yes, once again it's Rock 'n' Roll Trivia time. That last C/W quiz got nailed pretty fast so I though I'd switch back to the rocker stuff. This time it's a Parrothead Edition, as a thanks to the ever mindful KG, who very kindly linked to my cowbell ignorance, and as a special thanks to my good friend and confidante, the lovely Julie, who reveres Jimmy Buffett above all else except John Denver, and who introduced me to a Jimmy Buffett restaurant some time back. I don't recall the name of the restaurant, probably something like "Cheeseburger in Paradise"; I checked and it seems to have gone out of business since the lovely Julie moved to Texas. Or perhaps that's why she moved to Texas. No matter, I lost my train of thought anyway.
Oh yeah, I was inspired by something on my new collection that had nothing at all to do with Jimmy Buffett, but oddly made me think of the title of this post. That will be the focus of a future C/W trivia post. In any case, for these two true Parrotheads, I give you my amateurish version of a Parrothead trivia quiz. I like the fellow well enough though I'm most certainly not a professional Parrothead. In fact, I would appreciate it if the lovely Julie and/or the lovely KG could fill me in on the derivation of the word "Parrothead". Because, while I like his stuff well enough, I don't really get it.
Nor do I get this one. Has anyone actually heard this? It sounds pretty amusing and I definitely have to look it up.
Anyway, without further adieu, in no particular order, I give you some gimmes, perhaps some toughies:
1) Your voice sounds so wonderful but your face don't look too clear. So, what should we do?
2) If I remember being buck-toothed and skinny, what do I wish?
3) The daiquiri's too what?
4) About what have I seen more than I can recall (name all three)
5) Maybe suave Errol Flynn or who?
6) What will the blender render?
7) When can we go hiking?
8) Read dozens of books about what? And learned what from them?
9) What am I, 200 years too late?
10) I'm just glad that what?
11) What are over my shoulder?
11) What's filled up for me and you?
12) To whom did I write fan letters?
13) [And to round out the Baker's Dozen] Who was everyone's Bwana?

Damn! I was working on it while RPH posted.
And for the record, RPH missed #12 :-D
Okay, I googled it. In fairness, I've seen it as both (I knew it as Sky's niece, but I found a reference to Sky King and Penny)
