Yes, east of PM- west of the dateline and north of the equator.
Nope, never even heard of the place until you mentioned it. Got my handle from a couple of Jimmy Buffett books- "A Salty Piece of Land" et el.

Yep I'm in Asia.
I'm down to not buying anything Jimmy's selling. My daughter and her husband were here in Jan. I took them out to lunch at Margaritaville Cozumel. $110 for four watered downed drinks and some crappy appetizers. When I got back I mentioned this to a friend who sent me an e-mail with an article stating Jimmy's annual income is 104 million. 2 million bucks a week, every week- he's got enough of my money. I drink Sol, but if he ever comes down here I'll pony up for show tickets. The parking lot alone at a Buffett show is worth the price of admission, IMO.

Are you west of 100 deg. longitude?
From what I hear, I will agree with you about the parking lot at his shows. There are a couple diehard Buffett fans in work so I hear a lot of stories. I just recently found out about his enormous wealth, a LOT more than I knew. I need to look further into his business philosophy...to make sure it's compatible with my beer drinking philosophy. |

I'm east of 100.
I think I've been to every Margaritaville but the one in Vegas. The first one I went to was Key West and it was alright but not great. Each one after that seemed to get more on cost and less on quality. Grand Cayman was obscenely costly but at least it has a water slide and pool. Plus the drinks had actual tequila in them. Cozumel broke it for me. I swear the drinks were so bad a 7-11 lime Slurpee and some Mad Dog 20/20 would have been an improvement. Make all the money you want, I have no problem with that- just don't do it trying to sell me shitty products.

Not Tokyo.
Here's hint: No need to praise the Lord Nor pass the ammunition Look to Loesser For your next submission I have no idea if he sold the rights, sounds like the way things are done anymore. I just know I've not been pleased with anything I eaten or drank at one of his trademarked restaurants.

Nope it's not and neither am I.
Look at songs Loesser wrote and see if any make you think of an Asian country. Heck might even be in the title.
