Well, "Captain Kiln" (I truly loved the outfit as did Ruth), Hooters
is a place that one ought experience once. I kinda think it's a bit of a
waste, it can't make up it's mind about what it is, but go for the wings
while you are there. If ya go with someone who is a bit modest, then the
blush factor alone will be worth the price of admission. That "greatest
show on dirt" sounds like it musta been an experience unto itself as
well......once you've seen something like that the Vegas Strip is just a
buncha bright lights and preachers tryin to save the heathens.

I went to Hooters once in Chicago, after my father-in-law's funeral.
We went with Jean's widowed mother, her brother, sister-in-law and
their three young daughters and also the family friend (probably gay)
Father Jim. Talk about a bunch of people in the wrong environment!
Jean's brother was an executive manager for Hooters. He opened
all their new restaurants. So he took us to a local franchise.
We got red carpet treatment, because of who Jean's brother was,
believe me.

But the food was crap. Jiggly young women waited on us.
The other patrons were Frat Boys a fat Bears fans. Talk about a
stupid waste of money.

Have a good meal at a real restaurant. Then go to a strip
joint or a peep show if you need to. Better value for more. ;^)
