Hooters girls on Fox round two.JPG

From Fox News

This wasn't intentional — how could it have been? — but we are under an obligation to report the news that matters to you, dear reader, and so we are bound to report that no sooner had we picked up the remote control in an idle moment and randomly switched to FNC's "Live Desk With Martha McCallum" than we were once again faced with that pressing question of the day: What's it like to be a Hooters calendar girl? Apparently, if you like being on TV it's pretty good, because this is the second time we've seen Fox News on the Hooter's beat, but then again it's only the second time we've watched it in as many days. Eagle-eyed viewers will recognize our winsome centerfold from the previous segment with Neil Cavuto (or, as we are only too delighted to have an excuse to call him again, Neil Cav-Hoot-O), but alas, we did not learn her name because we only caught the tail end, as no doubt people flipping casually through the calendar are wont to do. Though we tried our luck at HootersCalendar.com as instructed, the sheer volume of Hooter's girls was daunting; ditto Hooters.com (though we did consider signing up for the Hooter's Mastercard - Variable APR between 8.25% and 29.20%, plus Hooters Reward Points!). Still, the important thing is that this critical story isn't being forgotten — and wherever important Hooter's breaks, by God, ETP will be there, just like we were here and here and here.

p.s. Rejected title for this post: "Hooter's Girls Are The New Shamu!"
