Skoots, Hooters, or Bone Daddy's? That is the Question

Yesterday I went out to a restaurant after working out. It kinda negated the effects of working out. Anyways the name of the restaurant is Skoots and it is located next to Bone Daddy's on I-75. It took me back to day when the crew (Me, Peetey, Mr. Turkentine, and "Jeff") went to Hooters for the first time. I think it was our freshman year of college, I actually can't remember the day, although I do remember how it was. Expectations were probably too high because Hooters, as we all know, is painted as a bastion of immorality. Nothing is farther from the truth. We walked in and were told by the waitress to sit anywhere. It was pretty much a standard bar and grill, except there was something nice to look at. "Jeff" got a little too excited and those waitresses sure do know how to get someone to give a good tip. Much flirting goes on at those places. In the end I think "Jeff" gave her a $10 tip for a hamburger. I enjoyed the food and the environment. I do remember our first time we ordered hamburgers and they were really tasty. The next time we got the chicken wings and they were the best wings I had ever tasted. I really do think they have good food. I know a lot of people who go there solely for the chicken wings. Although in the back of my mind I am thinking the eye candy makes the food taste better psychologically. It might actually make the palate more palatable. Over the years we became connoisseurs of all of the Hooters around. We even drove to Amarillo and OKC to get the wings. I think we have also been to all of them around DFW. Although as time goes on it has become more about the food. Then Bone Daddy's got introduced and we suddenly were able to find the best ribs in DFW and they also had classier uniforms. Now there's Scoots, which is owned by Bone Daddy's. They are along a similar vein and they really don't have any standard color uniform, which makes the food taste better(good burgers). I think it is odd though at the stigma these places have. I am really a religious conservative(see my misc section), but I know that these restaurants are harmless. Others seem to think it is pure evil. It is about as evil as watching a PG movie with good looking actresses in it. It is not as if they do anything else but serve food and smile. It is a shame though, I've seen many people say how terrible the restaurant is without ever having gone inside. I've seen families and little leagues and all sorts at those places. I wouldn't even paint it out as a bar, it is definitely more a restaurant. Anyways, now that we have a new place to go I have a new temptation to avoid, the burgers.

Thought of the Day
Mrs. Linda Stotch: You shouldn't be working here. You should be learning a skill so you can grow up to be a business woman or even a doctor. Who knows? You could cure cancer.
Porsche: I could cure cancer? Oh-my-God. That would be SO cool. I had a cancer sore on my lip once and it hurt SO bad.
Mrs. Linda Stotch: Oh, never mind. I think Raisins might be the perfect place for you.

Comments:
After all the things that we know about you and the things that you have done (and still do), I would really say that you are not a "social conservative."

Your very willingness to go to a place like bone daddy's separates you from the social conservatives. Most people with such a label would proclaim that the rest of us are going to Hell for such activities. They would protest the very existence of such establishments as bastions of immorality.

You are not such a protector. And I think that you are wrong in branding yourself with such an erroneous label.
Mr. Tukentine

By the way, this is the vastly edited version. I had actually written about 4 pages about you and this topic - but I know this forum isn't set up for that. So, keep up the good work. I enjoy the blog but if you are going to talk about Skoots, don't throw politics into it. There were enough things walking around there to keep a blog up for a month!
 
Correction - Should have said "protestor" not "protector".

After reading through you misc. section again, you really have gone down an interesting road recently. I am glad that you are happy. Love and peace are definetly the best paths to follow.
