Welcome to /c/Tumblr

All the chaos of Tumblr, without actually going to Tumblr.

Rule 1: Be Civil, Not CursedThis isn’t your personal call-out post.

  • No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
  • No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
  • Keep it fun and weird, not mean-spirited

Rule 2: No Forbidden PostsSome things belong in the drafts forever. That means:

  • No spam or scams
  • No porn or sexually explicit content
  • No illegal content (don’t make this a federal case)
  • NSFW screenshots must be properly tagged

If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can handle it. Otherwise just reblog and relax.

It isn't just Hooters. Twin Peaks and Tilted Kilt are still going strong, embarrassingly.

The twin peaks near me unironically have better food and sauces than the place I work at (which is about 2x more expensive)

I did some IT work for Twin Peaks about a decade or so back, they are trashy as hell but they do legit have decent wing sauce. I still wouldn’t go there because I have other options but of the brestaurants they have the best food

I went to the Tilted Kilt not knowing what that was… it was more uncomfortable for me than my date. Never went back and that location has been long closed.

A while later, another partner and I were driving past a Twin Peaks restaurant under construction when I joked that with a name like that it sounds like an upscale Hooters… and a few seconds later we both realized that’s exactly what it was.

Same. The twin peaks didn't even register with me until my brother, father, and I met there while he was traveling through before christmas. My dad commented on their christmas outfits being cold, I realized why it was named twin peaks, and my brother suddenly regretted mentioning where he was meeting us to his girlfriend.

Is tilted kilt the gay version?

If you mean is it the one with sexualized male waitstaff, no, not to my experience.

Uh... You realize Hooters is already "the gay version", right? Not that* calling any of them "the gay version" in the first place makes any sense, since that's determined by the sexuality of the person going to the restaurant, not of the workers in the restaurant.

Look buddy, I just want to see hogs while I eat.

If there was a restaurant that would let me service the hot male waitstaff between courses, I would be a daily patron.

I ended up staying at a chain hotel outside of New York City that had a Tilted Kilt attached. I did not know what that was, it was a "restaurant." Walk in there, the waitstaff are all pretty girls with fake blonde hair, short plaid skirts and belly shirts, and you go "oh."

It wasn't especially busy, and while waiting for a table the hostess talked to me. I'm betting they're required to do that by house rules, but she just made conversation. "You in town long? Where you from? There's a pretty nice sushi place on such and so street. Yeah your phone will tell you that's the easiest way to get back to the main road but if you go out the back of the parking lot it's fewer lights." And I didn't really mind that.

Food was to be expected from a sit down chain restaurant.

Never heard of Tilted Kilt...

they aren't even wearing a sporran or even kilt hoses!!!

TF is wrong with them!
