You might've thought you didn't give a rat's ass about the collapse of energy trader SemGroup but that changes now. According to Reuters, three "massage clinics," eight funeral homes, two Hooters establishments and a pawnshop that "specializes in gold jewelry" are among the companies owed tens of millions of dollars by the (voluntarily) bankrupt company.

Hooters would be a great place if they didn't allow the waitresses' boyfriends to hang around during the lunch rush hour. I had to seek my waitress recently to get my bill and her skank-ass cracker red neck mullet-wearing boyfriend with the damn spiderweb tattoo on both elbows says, "What do you want?" When I told him I just wanted my bill he looked away and she fetched it without further ado. Since I wasn't in Tulsa, I don't know if he worked for SemGroup or not.
Posted by guest , Jul 25, 2008 11:42AM
Hooters is a shit outfit. They opened one here in Wilmington some years back. Didn't last long and shut down. They had plenty of chicks working there, but not enough customers.
Hooters' shitty, low-life reputation is what killed it here. They're not missed.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Massage clinics, McDonald's restaurants, funeral homes and a Canadian pawnbroker specializing in gold jewelry are among the hundreds of companies listed as creditors by failed U.S. energy trader SemGroup.
I hope this is an advance payment for their funerals

Sounds like you did some homework, but I'm not sure where, though.
The Hooter's on 13 (New Castle) is in a shit area not far the Del Memorial Bridge. I don't go to that area. Besides, that is not considered Wilmington anyway.
There is no Hooter's in Wilmington, north Wilmington, or any other Wilmington in Delaware.
Perhaps from before your time, I recall one opening down by the Riverfront. It didn't last long and then the one on 13 opened.
If you go to that place, you must really be a clown and a loser too. Bikers. Hahaha.

Yes but if you bothered to look at what is the CUSTOM in this situation it is for the non jew to wear a kippa when visiting the wailing wall (all alon the wall there are kippa containers for vistors to the wall to wear). Much the same as my catholic brother in law wears a kappa when he attends the synugogue (bat mitzvahs, weddings). Much the same way, non -muslim western woman will wear head scarves in muslim countries.
It is a sign of tolerance and respect. Granted something the current president does not really exhbit, ever (except to Dick Cheney).

Why ever did you post a photo of that empty-suit obama wearing a skull cap and standing at the "Wailing Wall" on this thread? It certainly doesn't belong here.

TGFD/TOGFD are one and the same person, and now we know he is also posting in an fake Indian identity. Fabulous.
Btw, he said in a post the other day he was leaving on vacation July 26. Mid-August? That gives us only a few weeks of peace. However, I bet he's going to start posting as TOGFD during the "vacation" period, to try to convince us that they're separate people.
It's good for TGFD to hear that a number of people find his postings worthless and uninformed. And it's true that once he shows up, a thread is dead. The deadliest of all are the unbelievably stupid TGFD/TOGFD bank-and-forth posts.
On top of all of his other offenses against educated opinion, common sense, and good taste, he now emerges as a know-nothing that persists in believing that Obama is a Muslim. Hey, I'm not crazy about Obama, but I just don't believe Obama is a Muslim. Sorry, conspiracy theorists.
