Hoff

Sorry to hear about your dad, mon ami. Hope all is well, or going better anyway. But I like this, there should be more of these.

Michael Cole will conduct an in-ring interview with both Hoff and Chris Stevens in an attempt to get an explanation for their controversial actions on last week's program.

What the hell?! I sent you the 24/7 right before I left for work this morning! About....12 PM Eastern. No idea what that is in your time, but... Hmm. Well fuck, that's no good. I'm resending now, so edit it in later I guess.

That's not sensible.

Shit no. Hooters is PIMPIN' SHOWS, NATION-WIDE...

I've stiffed, but only when the server was downright rude. Poor service will usually net 25 cents from me.

?

Rebuttal: Subjectivity. For me, nothing will likely ever top Bret/Owen from X. I'm sure some people thought that match sucked. It's all a matter of opinion. Or preference, I'm not sure which. For argument's sake, I'll agree most the way. Under those circumstances, it would be a strong contender for such a title in any fan's eyes.

Adam. You're too nice to argue and/or flamebait, so just step back.

Oh! Didn't see this one. Rebuttal: Randy needs to get his rematch, be it tomorrow night or at the Halloween PPV or whenever. Besides, there's money to be had in a Regal/Flair feud, in the short-term anyway.

Rebuttal: None. This is absolutely the case, and it's sad. Rebuttal: I believe that was the case, to begin with, but it seemed like they were ready to get behind Orton. And, maybe they still are. But they didn't do him any favors tonight. Statement: Paul London will never hold any singles gold in WWE other than the Cruiserweight Title.

...You know, I was going to argue with you, but you make a good point. I guess I never really thought about it. I guess lighter fare is easier work, but...that's not always the case, and not the point of tipping, either. Hmm....

Oh. Em. Gee. That's across the line, Sassy Molassy.

That's not how I talk. *reads WDI* ...oh, God. I need to be alone. *runs off*

Oh! I was gonna say. Hooters (well, the one in Waukesha, WI, anyway) has one or two of the...maybe 6 TVs set up with closed captioning. The volume CAN get a bit "dicey" (well put) but it's a nonissue, really.

You're crazy. The atmosphere is great, everybody's into it. You don't HAVE to buy food (although, courtesy dictates at least a beer or soda) but, at Hooters' anyway, the food is good and really not too expensive (roughly $12 for a complete meal, with tip). Parking's a bitch, but such is life, and you deal with it. This really sums up what I had to say nicely. I haven't been back to Hooters since SSlam '02, but it's purely by chance.

Based on the limited Anderson stuff that I've seen (VERY limited), Benoit's in-ring work seems more...vicious. That compliments his no-nonsense character very well. Anderson may be a better talker, but Benoit doesn't need to be.

Rebuttal: RVD has loads of charisma. He's not conventional by any means, but he's even now still somewhat over, and I feel his style of promo actually lends itself well to the demographic. He'd be something new in the ME mix. He'd be a great face champion because he bumps well, and the crowd is behind him, and his "educated feet" could make for some righteous hope spots. And, his finisher is STILL over like gangbusters, which is important. People will by the ***** winning matches against A-level guys.

That's pretty bad out of context.

Some "finer" dining establishments rock the 18 or 20 percent. It's pretty weak. There ought to be a standard. Also, more people should do what KKK did. It lets the server know what they did wrong. A lot of times, in a similar situation to what he described, the waiter or waitress would be so engrossed in table 1 that they wouldn't realize they'd angered table 2.

*doesn't see what's so horribly wrong with this post*

I promise something before Thursday. I've slept at my own house a startlingly low number of times this week, and it's left me discombobulated. But before Thursday.

Mandatory tips are weak, and that's coming from a six-year veteran on the front lines of foodservice. You get tipped based on your performance as a server, yes. Forcing a patron to tip negates that. Even if you make a base salary of $2 an hour...if you earn it, you'll get it. The amount of people who stiff the tip for a good server is amazingly low, which just lends more weight to the argument that mandatory tipping is bull. That being said, pay your fucking bill. I have no sympathy for the guy arrested. It's common practice for restaurants to do this, and I'm sure it was posted somewhere besdies. If I was the waiter, or the owner, I'd be inclined to give the guy a taste of the back of my hand. If you can afford a $70 meal, you can swing a $15 tip.

This is beyond ridiculous. Who actually calls someone out of the blue at 2:45 AM and asks them to hang out? ...I'm going, but that's neither here nor there.

I am? This is accurate.
