We've re-engineered the CoB,O to make it easier and more enjoyable for us (and hopefully you) to visit the site. For awhile, both the old and new pages will run simultaneously, however the "old style" CoB,O won't be updated. Eventually the "old style" will disappear...

You can visit the new CoB,O at http://www.cobo.org/index.php

The October issue of the Parrot Head Webring Newsletter is ready for your reading pleasure.

On this week's episode of the NBC show Emeril, the characters were discussing their costume choices for the Halloween party. Emeril said he was going to wear a Hawaiian shirt and go as Jimmy Buffett. The other characters asked Emeril to sing his version of "Margaritaville," as he had apparently done other years. Emeril replied, "You haven't given me the proper respect." Everyone in the room started chanting, "Jimmy, Jimmy". The show ended with Emeril and another guy singing "Margaritaville." Thanks to Matthew Stiff

Buffett was mentioned on the October 25 All Things Considered on NPR. During the "Letters" segment, someone wrote about the location of a Florida restaurant that could be the source of Jimmy Buffett's "Cheeseburger in Paradise" song. As the segment finished, a clip from "Cheeseburgers in Paradise" was played as the show went to the next segment, but you could barely hear it beginning in the background as the announcers gave the email address to write to them.
