From my favorite theologian, Jimmy Buffett:
"Well good God Almighty,
which way do I steer for my
Chorus:
Cheeseburger in paradise (paradise)
Makin' the best of every virtue and vice (paradise)
Worth every damn bit of sacrifice (paradise)
To get a cheeseburger in paradise
To be a cheeseburger in paradise
I'm just a cheeseburger in paradise!"
For some, paradise — or at least the gateway to paradise — is at Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.
From a one-act version (p. xvi) of
"The Night of the Iguana":
"MISS JELKES: Is this the menu? (She has picked up a paper on the table.)
SHANNON: Yes, it's the finest piece of rhetoric since Lincoln's Gettysburg Address."
"Cheeseburger In Paradise, Puerto Vallarta, opened for business on November 7, 1999." — The same date, mentioned in last night's "Whirligig" entry, that Fox Studios Australia opened in Sydney with a song by Kylie Minogue.
“I like mine with lettuce and tomato, Heinz 57 and french-fried potato.”
I just finished “A Pirate Looks at Fifty” again last week. We’re huge parrot-heads at my house.
