Although I must admit, I do like the Hooters' slogan. "Delightfully tacky, yet unrefined." It has a certain Sophisticated as Hell quality to it.
I wonder how that translates into Japanese?
"Proto-Indo-European makes the damnedest words related. It's great. It's the Kevin Bacon of etymology." ~MadrugadaI've only been to a Hooters exactly once. It was this past 4th of July, and my longtime friends, who I had been hanging out with all day, refused to say where we were going to dinner, claiming they knew of a good place, that they knew the location but didn't know the name of it. They kept saying it had good wings, as well as other stuff. When I realized we had to go all the way to the Berlin Turnpike
, I started to realize something was up. We actually overshot by several miles, but then we arrived, whereupon I pointed out that I was more annoyed that they thought I was so much of a prude that I wouldn't want to go there...than the actual fact that we were there.
The burger actually was pretty good. And don't take this the wrong way, but prices at this level of restaurant are basically irrelevant to me. As for the waitresses, all I could think was "None of the girls I'm friends with would ever work here." There was an old man who had actually ordered wine with his meal, and a waitress was just sitting and talking with him the whole time. It was kind of sad, really.
After that, we went home and I learned to play poker. Such a stereotypically "guy night", which if you know me is somewhat unusual. But it was awesome.
As for Hooters in Japan...eh. I don't know what to think, besides what's already been said. All chains seem to spread internationally at some point...
Flora Segunda | World Made By Hand | Monster Blood Tattoo ^You should read these series.They probably want to cash in Japan's fetish for anything American.
I've always wondered why the Japanese are in love with our (The US) boring culture....and quite a few of us find their culture to be far more interesting.
"Who wants to hear about good stuff when the bottom of the abyss of human failure that you know doesn't exist is so much greater?"-WraithOr, are you just wondering why people think other cultures are always more interesting than their own? Well, that's because, well, like I said, when you live in a culture your whole life, foreign cultures seem new and refreshing and more exciting and more interesting.
That and aside from Japan's general weirdness (something I'm sure its citizens are used to), life there is pretty monotonous and work-filled.
I've got new mythological machinery, and very handsome supernatural scenery. Goodfae: a mafia web serial
...Wow

^ I know! I've only been there once, myself, but it was pretty lame. It was the worst road trip ever, and my mom made us all go into a Hooter's for dinner (yeah, my mom). I was only 11 at the time, and was very unprepared for what I saw. Then my dad made some rather perverted remarks about the women in the restaurant, then we ate the food and it was terrible. Back then I didn't want to go because I was super religious and not a perv, but now I don't go because I'm not a perv and am fairly certain I'd end up embarrassing myself.
