The only way to get huge fast is to insult a passing witch and hope she curses you with Beast-strength.


I went to Tein Peaks with a friend once. Neither of us were aware it wasn’t just a sports bar, and after a few minutes I figured it out and asked the waitress “Oh, so this is like Hooters?” And she got mad at me.

Hooters (and similar "breastaurants" like Twin Peaks and Tilted Kilt) basically serve as strip clubs for people who can't go to strip clubs. PG-13 suburban mall versions of strip clubs that you can go to and not get in trouble with your wife or your job or your church.

There's an intersection in my town that has a Hooters across the street from a Twin Peaks which is itself across the street from a strip club. It's mind-boggling that all of them are (apparently) sustainable a stone's throw from each other.

There are many strip clubs right next to each other in my city’s downtown. Clubs too. Sex and alcohol sells very well. Oh and a pizza shop too.

I watched an episode of that contrived show Undercover Boss with the CEO of Tilted Kilt. He was shocked, shocked to find out his servers/bartenders were being harassed.

Edit: just tried to find the episode and forgot that he blamed one of the waitresses for going too far with the patrons and not being classy enough. gently caress that guy.

Have the standards slipped again ?

First Base: hands above waist and over clothes
Second Base: hands above waist and under clothes, below waist over clothes. Light frottage.
Third base: Partial nudity. Hands below waist, under clothes. Anything with underwear on okay.

Oral sex, or more, is home plate.

Can't find it, but there was a frontpage article that said something to the effect of the bases being Hobbit + LOTR books.

I personally learned it as french, feel, finger, and gently caress. Thanks, AOL 90s chat rooms!

In that same episode, during the part where he reveals his identity to the employees and is supposed to make their dreams come true (they usually get some cash or a solution to whatever problem they were complaining about, like their car or roof), he fires one girl and tells the other that he will buy her a boob job if she does the restaurant's social media for 6 months.

my mother once took me, at the time a 13 year old boy, to hooters, because she said she loved their wings. I don't know if that's true or if she thought she was doing me a favor or what but it was tremendously awkward

My stepmom insisted hooters had the best wings in town and thus we'd have multiple family dinner nights there.

Oh, how awkward.
My dad would buy the Hooters wing sauce from the store and make the wings at home. Like, you could (and I think still can?) buy a jar of the sauce at the grocery store. I remember liking them as a kid, so I guess I'd believe "best wings in town," but I'd chalk that up to being a kid and not knowing any better.

To this day I have no idea if he was a regular patron or not. I have to assume he's been there at least once to develop a taste for the wings, and it wouldn't surprise me if it was an occasional "lunch with co-workers" thing because 90s, but I dunno.

I love living in the land of fried chicken, where every little podunk gas station has a deep fryer and sells amazing wings.

Love me a leg quarter combo with the wedges and a cherry coke.

Sounds like you haven't had enough disappointing wings in your life. There's way too many places where Hooters and BWW are top contenders.

I've only tried cheerwine once or twice since I moved to the state, never understood the appeal, but it's been a while so maybe I should try it again.

Lots of places love to use it in recipes though. More than one place I've eaten has cheerwine bbq.

While I love Cheerwine, I can understand why people get turned off by its sweetness. What I will never understand is when people compare it to Dr. Pepper - the two taste nothing alike to me.

This is messing with my head. Because the Third Base places in Austin are straight up sports bars. Saturdays all the college games you can handle, Sunday all the NFL, and if you find the right location (which closed, bastards) you can see the Dallas Stars. Large, loud, dark and dingy. It is so far from breastaurant that the waitress was talking to one of the regulars and the discussion was about someone's brother and their umpteenth time in jail for a laundry list of poo poo.

Looking it up, there's a 3rd Base and a Third Base?
