I've never understood them. Bright orange is appealing? To whom?

Hunters, when not looking for deer.

But Nordicskillz, It's hip to deny you're a hipster!

That was the point of my last sentence, it just wasn't put well...A hipster would never make a mistake like that! Or would they?

Bright orange is often symbolic of madness. Just thought I'd throw that out there.

I wore a bright orange shirt the first time I met all the NYC ILXors.

― hstencil, Wednesday, 30 April 2003 14:29 (twenty-three years ago)

I am currently wearing a bright orange shirt.

To be honest, I think I was reacting mostly to the tone of Adam's post -- "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" -- more than anything. The "YCI/righteous" comments were definitely tongue-in-cheek...

However, J.Lu, if you're opening a Buns joint in the Chicagoland area, feel free to send an application MY way...

The color of my candy-coated shell is, indeed, bright orange...

A coupla years ago I saw a former high school classmate at a bar where I was working. Turned out he was a Hooters manager. He looked me up and down really creepily and offered me a job.

It was just strange to see someone I hadn't seen in years and have him commenting on my tits rather than the usual pleasantries.

I'd look horrible in orange, anyway.

Hooters has a fantastic fried grouper sandwich (I was all-the-way veggie for a moment there, but I can't give up da fish, bullocks!). A girl I work with here works nights at Hooters. We ordered food from there the other day and her friend brought it. She was gorgeous, and wearing (slightly hippie-ish) street clothes.

my one trip to hooters (also an "after work get together", although this was planned by us plebes not the higher ups) was like eating at bennigans minus the crazy crap on the walls with ugly, poorly dressed waitresses. dud.

― jess (dubplatestyle), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 14:52 (twenty-three years ago)

also anonymous "new" (probably old, regular) posters creating ilx strawmen: dud.

― jess (dubplatestyle), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 14:59 (twenty-three years ago)

"ilx strawmen" = the new Star Wars figures?

― Nordicskillz (Nordicskillz), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 15:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Very flammable. Sacrificial idols perhaps? Wicker Men?

― Nordicskillz (Nordicskillz), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 15:01 (twenty-three years ago)

Eat me, jess

All I'm saying is that everyone is right about the hose.

― Ally (mlescaut), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 15:10 (twenty-three years ago)

I myself have never been to a Hooters. I like the hardcore shit, like the Foxy Lady's "Legs and Eggs Saturdays".

― Chris V. (Chris V), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 15:17 (twenty-three years ago)

Foxy Lady's probably pays much better, too.

― Kerry (dymaxia), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 15:35 (twenty-three years ago)

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.

-- Nordicskillz (t1nym1n...), April 30th, 2003. (later)

haha, now "Honkers," on the other hand, really does sound crap.

― felicity (felicity), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 15:42 (twenty-three years ago)

I want to open a rival chain called "Punani". People would be lining up around the block for out famous "Punani Pretzels".

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 15:47 (twenty-three years ago)

Will you have special desserts called "Sugarwalls"?

― Chris V. (Chris V), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 15:53 (twenty-three years ago)

Chris V is my new pastry chef. Who wants to be sous chef? ("I'd like the Hot Muff Bomb with extra drippings with a side order of Skins, please.")

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 15:58 (twenty-three years ago)

our eclairs are now called "Moose Knuckles"

― Chris V. (Chris V), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 16:00 (twenty-three years ago)

do you serve hot sex on a platter, dan?

― hstencil, Wednesday, 30 April 2003 16:01 (twenty-three years ago)

Whatever you do, stay away from the crab.

― buttch (Oops), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 16:02 (twenty-three years ago)

As always, Dan raises the poetry of filth to Shakespearean levels and I can but bow in acknowledgement. :-)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 16:03 (twenty-three years ago)

we also carry "Plum Smugglers" and "The Kennebunkport Surprise", on special this week is the "Bat Wings"

― Chris V. (Chris V), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 16:03 (twenty-three years ago)

Will you have a drink special called "The Hatchet Wound"?

― jm (jtm), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 16:08 (twenty-three years ago)

"donkey punch"

― jess (dubplatestyle), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 16:55 (twenty-three years ago)

"Dog in a bathtub"

― Chris V. (Chris V), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 16:56 (twenty-three years ago)

Bright orange is appealing? To whom?
Tell this to Puma, please!

Bright orange is the new black.

Although I suspect fluorescent green will be the new cheeto orange.

― Chris P (Chris P), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 17:01 (twenty-three years ago)

Oh come on, like none of y'all have ever worked at Hooters!

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 17:02 (twenty-three years ago)

the new cheeto orange is actually white cheddar (why in gods name would anyone want "organic" cheetos?)

― jess (dubplatestyle), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 17:04 (twenty-three years ago)

I bought organic Heinz ketchup, but I haven't tried it yet.

Ally, is this the sister that you said likes Asian guys?

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 17:07 (twenty-three years ago)

Pfff, organic cheetos rock, jess is all gay.

― Tep (ktepi), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 17:08 (twenty-three years ago)

you still got the orange shorts, luna?

― buttch (Oops), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 17:08 (twenty-three years ago)

CHRIS V DO YOU KNOW WHAT A DOG IN A BATHTUB IS???

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 17:08 (twenty-three years ago)

No, Spencer, this is the sister who likes Asian guys. The one with the gitarre is the one who works in Hooters.

― Ally (mlescaut), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 17:09 (twenty-three years ago)

Haha I linked the wrong picture! My sister is not normally bearded.

― Ally (mlescaut), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 17:10 (twenty-three years ago)

No, buttch because (a) I look terrible in orange, (b) come ON, they were ORANGE SHORTS, and (c) my old roommate took over my job when I quit, so I gave it to her.

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 17:10 (twenty-three years ago)

Dan, your new restaurant definitely needs a Momus Dog.

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 17:13 (twenty-three years ago)

("it" being the uniform, not anything else)

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 17:14 (twenty-three years ago)

(though come to think of it, she still owes me $200)

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 17:14 (twenty-three years ago)

Ally's family is purty.

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 17:15 (twenty-three years ago)

Sean, I don't think they make buns small enough.

― Nick A. (Nick A.), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 17:15 (twenty-three years ago)

Ha! That beard reminds me of the SNL fake commercial for strap-on beards. Their main use: to show late people your displeasure.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 17:18 (twenty-three years ago)

haha!

― buttch (Oops), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 17:19 (twenty-three years ago)

shuddup.

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 17:20 (twenty-three years ago)

there are a lot of strip clubs that serve food, y'know. Somehow, this does not appeal to me

The thing about the food at these places is that it's delicious and cheap. It's like the drinks in Vegas, only not completely free. They serve you huge t-bone steaks and shit for, like six bucks, freeing up your money for other things. They key is not to spend the money on other things.

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 17:20 (twenty-three years ago)

Well for some reason, my sister James chose to dress up on Halloween or something like that as Sigmund Freud. Hence the beard.

― Ally (mlescaut), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 17:21 (twenty-three years ago)

yes Yancey.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 17:21 (twenty-three years ago)

I might be in love with your sister.
