    Hon 120-304 Parrothead Studies

    Brought to you via the Coconut Telegraph and confirmed through the University of North Carolina Wilimington.

    An Honors course which delves into the study of the Jimmy Buffett fans. With field trips to the Margaritvalle Cafe and interviews with Parrotheads at tailgate parties, the students embark on a journy into the world of leasure.

    In an e-mail Jimmy says that if he had taken this class when he was in college he would have flunked it also.

    Description: Using various theories of leisure behavior, the Office for Parrothead Research investigates the motivations and experiences of Jimmy Buffet fans (a.k.a. Parrotheads). Students in this seminar will (a) learn and apply various theories of leisure behavior, with a focus on serious leisure, to the Parrothead phenomena; and (b) learn and apply research skills in survey and qualitative methods to study Parrotheads.

    Really suprised that nobody even had a comment. Guess there isn't enough parrotheads in here.

      I'll become a parrothead once again when I get to go sailing again...
      The doctrine of nonresistance against arbitrary power, and oppression, is absurd, slavish, and destructive of the good and happiness of mankind.
      Personal failures are too important to be trusted to others.

          Without freedom of speech, we wouldn't know who the idiots are.

              Parrotheads? Not!

              I think that if you have to study parrotheads you can't possibly be one. Parrotheadiness and studying same are mutually exclusive states of being.

              To be a parrothead all you need is a fat dooby and a pitcher of margaritas. You don't even need a shaker of salt.

                I'm guessing it's one of those courses that you audit....

                  Jimmy Buffett is a true genius....I could relate to almost every word in his songs when I was in my 20's....
