News, but not the serious kind
It’s for folks who like owls, Mr. President

Blog Guy, I’m very, very confused.
That’s nothing to be ashamed of in this blog, sir. What seems to be the problem?
I saw a photo of Hooters waitresses watching President Obama last weekend. I’ve always been led to believe if the words “Hooters” and “U.S. President” ever appeared together, it would be the end of the world.
I’m happy to say you’re wrong. There is no danger at all if the event happens in certain places, like for instance Florida, as was the case here.
Please let me illustrate. Below is a 1996 photo of Hooters waitresses at a “Dole for President” rally in Jacksonville, Florida. See, that was 14 years ago and we’re all still okay.
Remember, the restaurant chain itself was named after former U.S. President Herbert Hooter…
Blog Guy, you’re an imbecile. It most certainly was not!
Oh, sorry, I guess it was named after former FBI Director J. Edgar Hooter.
Exactly. Try to get it right the first time, Blog Guy. Readers depend on you.

How long have Hooters been around for?
I remember seeing one in Amsterdam… the least I say about the waitresses the better…
Hooters!!!! Of course, every time I go to one (for the goat wings!) I only see tweeters, no hooters.
I once went to an Eastern European version of Hooters. It was called Honkers.
Imagine the disapointment when I discovered that this meant all the waitresses had really big noses.
And in some cases, moustaches to go with them.
I feel your pain, Nosmo, but at least you never got stuck for an evening at Zits….
Heck, I go to Hooters to ogle the girls! I’d love to be hot enough to work there. I have the ‘ladies’ but the rest of me just ain’t up to scratch. Le sigh!!

Hooters, advertised as a family restaurant as OE is advertised as a family blog!
Lol! You gotta have your fun where you can, eh, Spin!
E, you know that aint true!
I thought they might be waiting for Tiger Woods …
This blog is a hoot!
E. You can take my order any time!
Y is the very white girl in the 1996 pic covering her owl? Shouldn’t she be covering her pregnant-ish belly? That’s an unfortunate angle if she’s not actually pregnant.
I’ll just pretend that’s a rhetorical question, Mama, since I’m not in a position to shed any light on it…
MamaC, I assumed that “covering her owl” was a euphemism.
In 14 years the hairstyles have changed but the bosoms have not. Yay bosoms!
@E, I second justCAM!
Sitting quietly on the bench.
I second Spin!
Lads….”Welcome to Hooters. May I take your order?”
Just trying it on for size. How’d I do? Maybe if Ireland ever gets a Hooters I’ll go for a job there…
E.
But they have amazing Irish pubs…
