I don't care for wings, but, uh...there's a joke somewhere.

When she was ten, she told everyone in her class that her ambition was to become a nun. 8 years later, she's a stripper holding hot sauce.

― Ally (mlescaut), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 02:29 (twenty-two years ago)

oh, okay...I don't like wings, but I like boobs. That's what's great about Hooters.

I've never actually been. Because I don't like wings. Or the smell of pent-up desire.

haha - I knew this was an Ally thread

I don't understand. What's lucky about working at Hooters?

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 03:16 (twenty-two years ago)

free onion rings!

Jon Gruden has a Hooters credit card

― James Blount (James Blount), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 03:17 (twenty-two years ago)

Ally I don't know what this means, but my (male) roomate is a cook at Hooters...

― jm (jtm), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 03:19 (twenty-two years ago)

I read that as Josh Groban has a Hooters credit card to which I respond, "That's how he keeps the pipes clean."

But really, Hooters seems like a job like any other, except with better tips and greasier hands.

― Carey (Carey), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 03:20 (twenty-two years ago)

Who the hell is Josh Groban? I've been wondering this for weeks now. He's in the AOL broadband commercial, alongside lots of people you've heard of. He seems an awful lot like AOL made him up.

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 03:25 (twenty-two years ago)

I don't "get" Hooters (New thread:"Why don't British people "get" Hooters?"). What do you do, keep ordering sides so you get so to see a little jiggling? I hear the food is good, actually.

There was a terrible Hooters knock-off in London called Honkers. I never went, but all the women on the posters were horse-faced and mannish. It didn't stay open long.

where oh where is that Red Meat generator when you really, truly need it?

― M Matos (M Matos), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 07:53 (twenty-two years ago)

You must be so proud. (and soon, she can join Hooters Air)

― H (Heruy), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 08:24 (twenty-two years ago)

This is the thread where you post the ranting of ILX0rs into Red Meat comic strips

― Ed (dali), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 08:33 (twenty-two years ago)

in Hooters are the waitresses topless or just in little dresses?

― DV (dirtyvicar), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 08:34 (twenty-two years ago)

They're very clean cut - little orange shorts, little white t-shirts, nasty tights. Totally and utterly unstimulating, honestly.

(I went to the one in Nottingham - is it the only one in the UK? - for a stag weekend)

― Mark C (Mark C), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 08:42 (twenty-two years ago)

someone has opened up a Shooters here in Dublin.

― DV (dirtyvicar), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 08:44 (twenty-two years ago)

it doesn't work, Ed

― M Matos (M Matos), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 09:26 (twenty-two years ago)

Don't do it, Nordic, DON'T...

aaah, wtf - do you give the waitress an extra big tip if you come in your pants? Seems fair.

― Nordicskillz (Nordicskillz), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 10:05 (twenty-two years ago)

Just seconds later, I really really regret posting that. But Dang can get away with it, so...

― Nordicskillz (Nordicskillz), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 10:06 (twenty-two years ago)

yes it does http://monkeydyne.com/rmcs/

what is the pay like at hooters?

All you zombies show your faces

― Joe (Joe), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 11:15 (twenty-two years ago)

I got dragged to Hooters not once but twice last year for "business lunches"--the IMAX Corporation is perhaps not as sophisticated as some. The food was _awful_--even the fries were foul. Also the girls were ugly in that fresh-out-of-rural-Louisiana way, with the eyes a little too far apart (or too close together) and the reek of stale GPC Menthols tainting our "food." That my coworkers and the IMAX guys spent the whole time making lewd comments about both the waitresses and the female bodybuilding competition that was on the TV at the time didn't help.

Thus I rate My Time at Hooters as an Unpleasant Experience.

― adam (adam), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 11:21 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm getting a mental image of that Simpsons episode where Grandpa Simpson dances for Hitler in fish net tights

― j0e (j0e), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 11:39 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm just still amazed that she got a job at Hooters. She'll get the best tips cos she'll be the only non-horseface there. But still, the girl wanted to be a nun most of her life! Now she's in school to be an elementary school teacher! It's OUTRAGEOUS! My dad blames me.

― Ally (mlescaut), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 12:32 (twenty-two years ago)

i've never been to hooters - i take it the waitresses all have big tits and don't wear bras? it sounds gross yet interesting.

i'm going to open a rival chain for women called Nads, where there will be hot male waiters in extremely short yet loose shorts.

― j fail (cenotaph), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 13:34 (twenty-two years ago)

I hope they won't serve meatballs.

― Nordicskillz (Nordicskillz), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 13:36 (twenty-two years ago)

Hooters is great.

― Calum, Wednesday, 30 April 2003 13:39 (twenty-two years ago)

no, hooters ARE great.

― hstencil, Wednesday, 30 April 2003 13:43 (twenty-two years ago)

I have been to Hooters a lot, one of my friends (who happens to be gay) is in love with Hooters. It's bizarre, it's always me, him, and some random Israeli dude, all of his roommates are Israelis. And the waitresses. I have a shirt from Hooters, I'm pretty jealous of my sister, because I kept threatening to go work at Hooters but SHE ACTUALLY DID IT.

― Ally (mlescaut), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 13:46 (twenty-two years ago)

at one of the places I used to work at in Chicago, we'd order Hooters for dinner all the time. I've eaten the food, but never been in one. Unfortunately, not long after I started this job I went veggie.

― hstencil, Wednesday, 30 April 2003 13:48 (twenty-two years ago)

I have been to the original Hooters in Clearwater, business lunch. The girls were ok if you like stripperly types. I could gawk at women at Clearwater beach without having to pay for crap food if I wanted to do that.

Hooters has had many sexual harrassment lawsuits against it. I guess that is pretty much expected.

― fletrejet, Wednesday, 30 April 2003 13:49 (twenty-two years ago)

Am I the only one who keeps misreading the word "tips" on this thread? Yes? Okay. I'm off to perform penance.

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 13:50 (twenty-two years ago)

OK, my dad clarified his misplaced blame: he believes this is the result of me giving my sister shiny leather pants.

― Ally (mlescaut), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 13:51 (twenty-two years ago)

"Shiny, shiny, shiny pants of leather..."

― hstencil, Wednesday, 30 April 2003 13:53 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm off to perform penance.

That's a new way of putting it.

I think the worst thing about Hooters is that they make them wear nude hose with shorts and white Reeboks. ::shudder::

Aren't you wearing your own leather pants over there, Han Solo?

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 14:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Y'know...

I just have to ask: What in Holy Fuck is the deal with this vapid tone among Young College Intellectuals that seems to deride any playful expressions of the "straight male mindset" as being completely deplorable and "neanderthal"? And why do I get the feeling that those same YCI's would have "fuck-all" to say about, say, a known gay entertainer publicly drooling over which straight male celebs he'd love to see half-naked and greased up (something I've come across on a few occasions, in some of the movie/entertainment rags), for example???

I mean, not trying to start a fight here (although I doubt that'll fend off some of ILX's more Righteous types), but I'm just openly wondering...

― absolute skittles, Wednesday, 30 April 2003 14:08 (twenty-two years ago)

i'm going to open a rival chain for women called Nads, where there will be hot male waiters in extremely short yet loose shorts.

Supposedly there's a sports bar in Baltimore called Balls. No information on the staff uniform available.

Then my friend Jacki and were joking about opening a restaurant to be called Buns, featuring waiters in bike shorts and half-shirts.

― Sarah MCLusky (coco), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 14:08 (twenty-two years ago)

Dude, both me and my sister are Young College Intellectuals, and we're like living our lives on the basis of the straight male mindset.

― Ally (mlescaut), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 14:09 (twenty-two years ago)

Skittles, I don't really sense that tone here. First of all a few people here seem very enthusastic about Hooters. The rest (including myself) seem to feel that Hooters=just-not-titaliting-and-rather hilarous instead of "deplorable and "neanderthal".

― That Girl (thatgirl), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 14:11 (twenty-two years ago)

Skittles, you are bang on but to be fair that tone is more prevalent at ILM and Ally has never given me the impression that she's of this opinion (I mean, she's just started a thread on Hooters).

― Calum, Wednesday, 30 April 2003 14:14 (twenty-two years ago)

The real urgent and key question is who is the entertainer, and who does he want to see greased up? I'm betting it's Nathan Lane discussing Matthew Broderick.

― the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Wednesday, 21 March 2007 15:59 (eighteen years ago)

The wedding pictures looked really nice! I was expecting the worst from your description of the dresses but they looked good.

I had a boring fancy-schmancy wedding to go to that same day, there were no kegstands unfortunately.

― Nicole, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 16:01 (eighteen years ago)

whoa! i am also amazed at kegstand wedding w/ parental involvement

― rrrobyn, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 16:01 (eighteen years ago)

Yes, that is a source of wonder.

― baaderonixx, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 16:17 (eighteen years ago)

more people should get married

― RJG, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 16:19 (eighteen years ago)

no, no one should get married. we should just throw more weddings.

― the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Wednesday, 21 March 2007 16:48 (eighteen years ago)

OTFM

― Ed, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 16:49 (eighteen years ago)

totally

i am also amazed at the tans (real? fake?)

― rrrobyn, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 16:54 (eighteen years ago)

haha mine is fake, i was suggestold to use some tanner. everyone else's is real (as far as i know) but they do all live in arizona.

― the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Wednesday, 21 March 2007 16:56 (eighteen years ago)

ah, arizona, that'd explain things
haha, you don't even look tanned though in comparison (you look healthy though), so maybe their suggestion was so that you wouldn't contrast too much in all-important wedding photos

― rrrobyn, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 17:01 (eighteen years ago)

yeah, i figure as much. my sister isn't even too tan (for her) to be honest, she's just very dark. i spent the entire time wondering if any of them had ever even heard of sunscreen.

― the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Wednesday, 21 March 2007 17:12 (eighteen years ago)

OH this is a cameraphone photo because my camera's battery had died and i forgot to charge it, but we ate dinner in a restaurant that had THIS

you know who never heard of sunscreen was Tatsu, that dude

― TOMBOT, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 17:29 (eighteen years ago)

That pope is fantastic, you can eat in peace knowing your food has been blessed by the pontiff.

― Nicole, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 17:41 (eighteen years ago)

Pope on a lazy susan. The dizzy pontif.

― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 17:47 (eighteen years ago)

is that the new pope or the old pope?

― mookieproof, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 17:52 (eighteen years ago)

It looks like Pope Classic, as opposed to the New Pope.

― TOMBOT, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 18:00 (eighteen years ago)

yes, that is a bust of the pope. on the table.

I was at one of those places in Santa Clara or Palo Alto or one of those Silicon Valley suburbs once. They had just got nu-pope in. It cost them $450 or something to replace the pope. The staff were all really pissed off that the management wouldn't let them sell the old pope on eBay.

― accentmonkey, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 18:12 (eighteen years ago)

The staff were all really pissed off that the management wouldn't let them sell the old pope on eBay.

he was probably pretty smelly and mushy at that point ... you would THINK they wouldn't mind getting rid of him.

Look, I don't have time to read through this whole thread. Is it ok to just assume that your sister met the guy she married while serving him at Hooters?

Also, can we talk about the thinking behind the Hooters mascot being an owl with human breasts for eyes?

― Spencer Chow, Thursday, 22 March 2007 17:47 (eighteen years ago)

the milk of wisdom? breasts=windows to the soul?

― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Thursday, 22 March 2007 19:10 (eighteen years ago)

I went into a Hooter's for the first time this weekend and the smell of fried food and ketchup was so overpowering I nearly wretched. And I like fried food and ketchup.

― Ms Misery, Thursday, 22 March 2007 19:12 (eighteen years ago)

spencer, for you, i will make them change their romance story to that one.

― the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Thursday, 22 March 2007 19:14 (eighteen years ago)

I'm finding it hard to shake the image in my mind of an owl with human breasts for eyes trying to get to the center of a tootsie roll (TOOTSIE ROLL!) pop.

Also, owls are assholes because of their annoyingly superior and withering gaze, but with human breasts for eyes, they're really something else aren't they?

― Spencer Chow, Thursday, 22 March 2007 19:35 (eighteen years ago)

You've put forward this "owls are assholes" thesis before, haven't you?

but really, just do a google image search for owl and you'll see what I mean. They don't think very much of us.

i must say that i don't care much for owls either
