America is proud.

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?

― Nicole (Nicole), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 14:22 (twenty years ago) link

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

The first thing would be a lapdance, of course.

semafore workers?

― That Girl (thatgirl), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 14:23 (twenty years ago) link

Murderers?

― Sarah McLUsky (coco), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 14:24 (twenty years ago) link

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.

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

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...

― absolute skittles, Wednesday, 30 April 2003 14:32 (twenty years ago) link

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

― absolute skittles, Wednesday, 30 April 2003 14:33 (twenty years ago) link

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.

― JuliaA (j_bdules), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 14:34 (twenty years ago) link

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.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 14:46 (twenty years ago) link

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 years ago) link

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

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

"ilx strawmen" = the new Star Wars figures?

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

Very flammable. Sacrificial idols perhaps? Wicker Men?

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

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

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 years ago) link

Foxy Lady's probably pays much better, too.

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

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 years ago) link

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 years ago) link

Will you have special desserts called "Sugarwalls"?

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

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 years ago) link

our eclairs are now called "Moose Knuckles"

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

do you serve hot sex on a platter, dan?

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

Whatever you do, stay away from the crab.

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

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 years ago) link

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 years ago) link

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

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

"donkey punch"

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

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 years ago) link

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

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

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 years ago) link

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

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