When was Jimmy King of Mardi Gras
Serious question-
What year was Jimmy the King of Mardi Gras?
(I'm doing a Mardi Gras theme trivia quiz for my PHC. I know, I know, questions are the EASY part!)

For Clones, Sandra dressed to suit the krewe's annual theme, appearing as Barbie for "Barbie & Ken Go to the World's Fair" (part of Barbie's 25th birthday observance), Sandra Sexless (a send-up of the famous Bourbon Street burlesque queen, Sandra Sexton) for "Celebrity Tragedy," Darlene the Stripper for "A Confederacy of Dunces," and Marguerite DeVille (her king that year was Jimmy Buffett) for "Nuclear Disasters."

The article said he was..... funny.... I was also going to call the Mville NO store....GPHMTA!phjrsaunt wrote:......so I called the M'ville store in New Orleans. I nice lady there told me that he may have been king of one of the parades, but was not sure what year it would have been in. I can call back later today. Does that sound right? I could SWEAR I've read he was King of Mardi Gras. Now I'm cornfused.
But no where can I find ANYTHING in the way of a list of past kings....

Well, if somebody feels like picking up the torch, I have to leave work shortly (still have things to get ready for PHC, but don't tell the boss! ), I'd appreciate it. I am really curious at least what year it was, if he wasn't "the" King. Heck, I'm just a Presbyterian girl from the country-I didn't realize there were different parades I guess....

I believe the king of the Rex krewe is crowned the King of Mardi Gras.
In 1983 Jimmy was crowned King of the Krewe of Clones. If anyone has the Jimmy Buffett Scrapbook by Mark Humphrey, there is a picture of this on page 162.

I'm on top of the world, lookin' down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around
You're love's put me at the top of the world

This info is also apparently available on Margaritaville.com in an archived edition of The Coconut Telegraph which is viewable as a PDF.BoozeInTheBlender wrote:I believe the king of the Rex krewe is crowned the King of Mardi Gras.

Ja, To save some time rummaging around the archives, can you remember which Coconut Telegraph it article was in?
Also, ToplessRider can you link to the article you found? Or at least point us to where you found it?
THANKS,
John
