#1 I heard that a Hooters was going to be set up in every Iranian city after the regime there disappears.

#2 ...Right down the road from me, and I've got some good friends in Loris. Say this for him - he gave the people what they wanted.

#3 He died at 69? Stuck to his campaign gimmick even in death.

#5 who made his fortune selling chicken wings served by scantily clad waitresses,

Scantily clad? Never seemed particularly "scanty" to me.

#6 Not to start a conspiracy theory, but I suspect foul play. I believe the answer may be found with someone named Bronsky.

#7 Scantily clad? Never seemed particularly "scanty" to me.

For some dead tree wannabe journalist intern doing obits in a burkka [of solidarity], it probably is.

#8  Chris Hardwick, owner of Hardwick Funeral Home of Loris, told the AP he was handling Brooks' funeral arrangements.

That pegs the Smirkometer :)

#10 Headline writers live for moments like this. Also, when I lived in Southern California, you could always depend on the guys announcing the current weather conditions on the radio to say "LA is sunny and 75 degrees, Anaheim is slightly overcast and 72, and Huntington Beach is enjoying 69..."

#11 No doubt, died of blocked arteries. A lot of grease on an order of ten of those wings. that is what made them so good.

#14 Since opening its first store in Clearwater, Florida, in 1983, the chain has expanded across the United States and into more than a dozen foreign countries ranging from Taiwan to Venezuela. Hooters has about 61 million annual visitors to its some 425 restaurants.

What a entrepeneur! And, here's to hopin' that Chavez chokes on a wing-bone! Gotta wonder how many of those "annual visitors" are repeat buyers, lol. Finally, Brett you remind me of a snafu my father in law had at a place similar to Hooters. He needed change, and when the (scantily clad) waitress came up, he asked her "Do you have 2 nipples for a dime?"
