Ah, Bazookas. Right across the street from my place of employment here in lovely Secaucus, N.J.

Never been there (honest!) but I know many who have. They have lived to speak about it (some not too kindly).

Anyway, moving to the other side of the cultural spectrum, The New Yorker had a Financial Page piece about how America was built on stealing ideas and how that has changed in the last decade. A good read.

Bazookas: Interesting aspects of Intellectual Property law are infringement of trade dress, trade secrets, trademarks, copyright, etc.

Bazookas might not have infringed on Hooters, but they apparently have put themselves under scrutiny and, therefore, a hard target for a challenge by the giant. In Houston, we have a chicken wing joint with all the bigscreens and crap, but it looks and operates nothing like Hooters. No skimpy costumes and only a few good looking women from Rice Univ.

80's bands: Poison is coming to Houston. Saw the Crue and Kiss last summer. Think I will sit home and whack my tally for this one. Seeing Paul Stanley with a gut and acting VERY femine as well as a pretty drugged out looking Ace Freely who looked more like Neil Young made me a little queezy. What's next? A Fonzie stand-up tour?

I dunno if you guys were aware of this but Hooters has its own airlines now. Check https://reservations.hootersair.com/ for crying out loud. You get two Hooters girls on every friggin' flight!

The Moo might be the single most original and talented undiscovered writer working today. At the very least, he is the heartfelt voice of our generation.

Hooters wasn't the first to come up with the idea of crappy food peddled by almost attractive girls in a bar named for possibly part of the female anatomy. They have been the most successful.And ripping off successful ideas is as American as bangin' a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader.
As for Bazooka's, they should be thanked for opening a business like this in New Jersey, to keep poor bastards like Rob from blowing his brains out having to live there.

Skin of my teeth, baby!

OPERATIVE TEST: YOU SCORED: 70.05 %

Ha Ha, I tried to go to that Bazookas site and its knocked out. The massive traffic you sent them probably killed them; or else a cease & desist letter from Hooters, Inc.
