Who out there thinks that "Hooters" is a strip joint?

My buddy called me to tell me that his girlfriend kicked him out for the night because she found out, somehow, that he went to Hooters. She believes that Hooters is some kind of a den of inequity where the wait-staff provides lap-dances and sexual favors. He tried to explain to her that it JUST A DAMN RESTAURANT where the waitresses wear short-shorts and expose cleavage. She wont go there to check it out but believes that he went there for a lap-dance and a BJ.

Let me tell the world HOOTERS IS NOT A STRIP JOINT OR A WHORE HOUSE!

There! I feel better now!

Hooters does objectify women, but it's a pretty tame place overall.

After all, it is a restaurant based on the premise that men will endure stomach pain in order to see women with huge racks in clothing from the 1980s. :P

But, not good enough to make the trip down there. Besides, Pluckers is closer to my house. :P

HA! :D

Is it a rule that wings places need a goofy name?:P

Wingers.

Their actual tag line. :D

:D

:D

you can beat Dick's prices, but you can't beat Dick's meat

We got stuck going to Hooters once while traveling. Little did the waitress who was shaking her tities at me know she would have gotten a bigger tip if she had pointed them in Daisy's direction instead.

At least, that's what my friends who go there tell me. :shrug:

A bit pricey for the type of food, but overall its ok.

The ladies don't strip or perform lap dances. Tell her to stop watching South Park.

He wants me to call her and explain exactly what Hooters is.
I dont get involed in other people's domestic spats.

I am planning on coming out to San Diego in July for Democracy Fest. I am planning on going to a Padres game. Have you seen the new stadium? Is it nice? Will the game sell out?

Its a very nice baseball-only stadium, right downtown. The fans are very close to the action, unlike Qualcomm Stadium where you are so far away, its hard to follw the game.
Bring MONEY! The food is expensive. $5.00 for a small hot dog. $8.75 for a damn beer. Parking is $25.00(take the trolley. It lets you out right across the street from Petco).
But if you are just going to enjoy a major league game, you'll love Petco.
As far as a sellout goes, it depends who the Pads are playing and where they sit in the standings. Usually it fills upo when the Dodgers or Giants come to town.
PM me if you want to meet up down there. I LOVE to go to Padres games.

except for a few charters. So, too bad for frat boys on spring break and drunk businessmen who miss the bad old days when they could get away with groping the flight attendants. http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/nationworld/2002900429_webhootersair30.html

But it is true that Hooters Restaurants aren't strip joints or brothels -- just tacky restaurants with mediocre food and a sexist attitude.

with mediocre food and some sports on television.

Now if I can get her to log on to DU.....
Aint gonna happen!

Asking for advice.
They'll eat her alive there.

Is she his mother or his girlfriend?

Some people!!

waitresses talked about was getting a boob job or a better boob job or bigger ones, etc so they could go on to better paying jobs in a real strip club. Seems like a Hooters might be a "Pre-school" for strippers.

she has extreme insecurity issues

From Australia. I've got a question about global warming -- in the Australian Parliament, Tony Blair called for greater action. And this seems to be something that the U.S. President could make a major difference on. There's a virtual consensus that the planet is warming. If you addressed issues like emissions, fuel efficiency, issues to do with alternative energy in your last few years as President, it could make a significant difference I think to the --

THE PRESIDENT: I appreciate you bringing that up.

Q -- and I suppose I want to know, what is your plan?

THE PRESIDENT: Good. We -- first of all, there is -- the globe is warming. The fundamental debate: Is it manmade or natural. Put that aside. It is in our interests that we use technologies that will not only clean the air, but make us less dependent on oil. That's what I said in my State of the Union the other day. I said, look -- and I know it came as quite a shock to -- for people to hear a Texan stand up and say, we've got a national problem, we're addicted to oil. But I meant what I said

just pathetic
