I guess practicing shrinkflation to stay alive just would not work very well in this market. Reduce cup size and they are going to quit coming. :)

My wife loves the wings at Hooter’s and asks me to take her there. She also likes Twin Peaks.

Am I a lucky guy or what?

A while back when I was doing IT/Tech Support at a Houston university, and my wife and I were at Hooter’s, I realized that I knew our server. She was a graduate student at the University and was just finishing up her MBA in Business. And she called over another server who I also knew who was getting ready to take her CPA exams.

Remember, just because she’s blonde, doesn’t mean she’s dumb. She may be smarter than you. And you can see much more skin at Galveston on a summer weekend.

BTW my wife and I are coming up on our 57th Wedding Anniversary. And we’ve always followed the “You Can Look But You Can’t Touch” idea.

If it was a British chain of pubs, pretty certain the headline would read:

HOOTERS GOES TITS UP

Only one? They are opening up THREE!

Honestly amazed this company still has any locations at all.

They opened several in my town every one was gone in a few years.

I think one might have lasted a decade maybe.

Overpriced mediocre food for men so scared of their wives they won’t go to a strip club…

No one wants to lose their appetite when they find out that there are Shooters pretending they're Hooters.

I was touring the West alone a number of years back on a Harley. I stopped in Mesquite, Nevada. After checking into a motel I went to the grocery store for supplies. (There was only one grocery store in Mesquite.) The bagging girl there tried to pick me up. My thought was, “I wouldn’t want to sleep with a chick who would pick up Harley guys.” That and the fact that my wife has that .38 I gave her.

19

‘Tits Up’ was in common usage in the British Armed Forces, post WW2. It may have originated earlier. The common consensus was that it originated in the Royal Navy. Its use meant ‘complete failure’ (e.g. “the HF radio is tits up”), and was apocryphally ascribed to drowned female bodies floating ‘tits up’ whereas male bodies float face down. I’ve never managed to drown anybody as a yacht skipper, but I’ve tried experiments (with volunteers) in a swimming pool, and relaxed women with at least a C cup tend to float face up, and men face down (the sacrifices I make for science ! ;) ). The RAF used a euphemism of this - ‘Pear-shaped’ - when socially necessary. Pear-shaped is quoted by the OED to have originated from RAF usage in 1983 (used in the book ‘Air War South Atlantic’), and I was an RAF pilot in 1983, so can confirm this meaning.


One explanation

Ah, the good-old days of the squiggly lines of Cinemax where as a kid you'd have to squint to fantasize.

My wife and I used to go to Twin Peaks because, believe it or not, they had pretty darn good fish and chips. Quit going because the service got very bad.
