I have a friend in from Jamaica on a work visa. He's working with my husband. His girlfriend(also Jamaican) flew in from Missouri and we took them out to Logan's for dinner last night. Realize except for their supercool accents, they just look "normal" no dreads etc -two of the coolest people I have ever known.

We wound up sitting in non smoking, but had a drink at the bar first. I went back there to have a cigarette a little later....
Not word for word:

Bartender: Your Friends are Jamaican?
Me: Yep
Bartender: Are they Rastas?(think Bob Marley)
Me: Nope
Him: They got any weed?
me: Nope
Him: I thought thats what Jamaicans do..They have it all over the place there.Wheres their dreadlocks.
Me: Nope, thats what Tourist Jamaica looks like.
Me--------left before I put a foot in his hind end.....


Apparently people think in Jamaica they lie around with long dreadlocks smoking weed all day.In Real(outside of Sandals and beaches) Not true, even though the plants just hang and grow out there(amazing). The only true fact is they listen to Reggae all day and have jobs and live like normal people. Except the men all have lots of girlfriends and the women are ok with it.
One Hundred Jamaican Dollars- Worth $1.62 american. Their money is beautiful.
He calls Hedonism- the nekkid hotel. I fell off my chair when he was telling us about it.
Someday I am moving there and getting one of those cocktail beach bars, a hammock and a palm tree. We are dying to live there, and all them are dying to come here.

 

wow, how did you hold back on such a derservent recipient of your foot in his azz?

 

I think I would have just said.....suprised he didn't ask you about thier bobsled team too. Ignorant morons

By the way..save me a seat at your bar... I want my name on it

 

I woulda blown up on him about the weed....

 

April, I'd come to that bar anytime...that is once they built the trans-caribbean hiway

Never mind the ignorant masses...just shake your head and snicker...

 

Speaking of.. I just bought that movie cause it was $4.00. Best money I've spent in awhile (outside of Monty Python and The Holy Grail)

 

Back From Ga. I am drop dead tired.

This is a brand new logans roadhouse, been there once, didn't like last night was the second chance. Going back to my old one.

They do actually have the plants growing free there, its just the vast majority don't "imbibe"


I get to ask him about the bobsled team all I want. Its hilarious

 

Cost ya $100 American. I won't take Jamaican at my Cocktail bar. I swear, if I get these chillin raised, I am off to be rich and Famous in the West Indies.

Of course Jolly tells me that at night someone will come in and chop down my palm tree and burn my bar down cause its like that there. Apparently manufactured Jamaica(Beaches, Sandals Etc) is only a fantasy for us moroon Americans.

Hes gonna make me some Jerk Chicken! Real stuff too!

But Come on! This is the first time he has ever been out in an American eatery and the jackass at the bar asks me if I can get weed from him. Good Lord. Thats good like the waiter telling the four of us he is going to throw a sheet over his head for his halloween costume.

 

mmmmm... jerk chicken

 

April, you should make up a big joint like the one Cheech and Chong had in the movie, that was full of crap instead of weed and then tell this guy it's the best Jamaica has to offer.
