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

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

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)

someone has opened up a Shooters here in Dublin.

it doesn't work, Ed

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

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.

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

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.

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 years ago) link

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 years ago) link

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 years ago) link

I hope they won't serve meatballs.

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

Hooters is great.

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

no, hooters ARE great.

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

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 years ago) link

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 years ago) link

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 years ago) link

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 years ago) link

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 years ago) link

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

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

I'm off to perform penance.

That's a new way of putting it.

just no tongue - mind my lipstick.

― hstencil, Wednesday, 30 April 2003 13:58 (twenty years ago) link

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 years ago) link

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 years ago) link

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.

America is proud.

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

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 years ago) link

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 years ago) link

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 years ago) link

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.

― Ally (mlescaut), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 14:16 (twenty years ago) link

Skittles, I think your descriptions of ILXers as "righteous" and "hipsters" is a little unfounded. I for one, am so far from being either of those it's a joke. Maybe even hip!

― Nordicskillz (Nordicskillz), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 14:16 (twenty years ago) link

Hey I know straight guys like to look at T&A. Big deal. This in and of itself is hardly offensive.

-Old, unhip, former college intellectual

― That Girl (thatgirl), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 14:19 (twenty years ago) link

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

― Sarah McLUsky (coco), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 14:19 (twenty years ago) link

there are a lot of strip clubs that serve food, y'know. Somehow, this does not appeal to me (despite being a fan of both naked girls and food).

― hstencil, Wednesday, 30 April 2003 14:20 (twenty years ago) link

Besides, what is U&K is that we discuss those horrid, horrid uniforms.

come on Ally, I know you hate nude hose! Would you really want to work there and be forced to wear them?

(stence, I'd be afraid of the ol' pubic hair in the soup.)

― That Girl (thatgirl), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 14:21 (twenty years ago) link

Hose with shorts is a horrible idea.

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

ddg, soup would be the last thing I'd order in a strip club.

The first thing would be a lapdance, of course.

Where are you from, skittles, that is so square that it makes ILX seem like hipstermania by comparison?

― buttch (Oops), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 14:24 (twenty years ago) link

Skittles: You have a point but part of this has to do with the restaurant setting. There's a notion (which the Hooters chain subtly encourages) that male restaurant patrons are entitled to ogle and maybe even grope female waitstaff, by virtue of their service role. And I admit that my "Buns" concept does play off a gender-bent version of this same dynamic.

Hunters, when not looking for deer.

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.

― Nordicskillz (Nordicskillz), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 14:28 (twenty years ago) link

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

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 (seventeen years ago) link

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.

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

Pope on a lazy susan. The dizzy pontif.

is that the new pope or the old pope?

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

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.

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

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?
