But, I also haven't gotten wings from BW3, and I like theirs too.

I really am surprised Hooters has flopped.

Yeah the wings were good, but the breasts were excellent.

Hooter's food sucked overall.




Tippi Hedren and her tiger, 1982








This is Bill Kroyer. It's May of 1982, and he is at Disney Studios in Burbank, sitting at a Chromatics CGC 7900 computer terminal. He is looking over low-resolution, 300 line wireframe 'pencil test' renders of a CGI sequence from the movie he is working on as a 'Computer Image Choreographer': Disney's groundbreaking video game themed film "Tron".
The renders are created at MAGi, one of four CGI effects houses working on Tron, in Elmsford, New York. On top of the Chromatics you can see the 1200 baud acoustic modem that ties the terminal to MAGi, on the other side of the country. Upon viewing the renders, Kroyer and his colleague at Disney, Jerry Rees, can recommend changes to MAGi and see the results in minutes.
Tron was the first large-scale use of CGI in feature filmmaking, a process that is ubiquitous in movies today.

Wow! I knew she was into birds, but this is a whole other level. That's a great random pic!

[QUOTE]

I met her once while I was working at a picture framing shop in Arcadia, CA back in the early nineties (I think it was). At the time her daughter, Melanie, and Don Johnson had gotten back together and she brought in all these old pictures of a very young Melanie and Don looking like kids from their earlier relationship. She wanted the collection matted and framed. Super sweet lady.

I had a bigger piece of luggage for 16 - 8 tracks I kept in my car in the 1970s.

There are multiple new breastaurants out there.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breastaurant

"The format has since been adopted by other restaurants, including Tilted Kilt Pub & Eatery, Twin Peaks, Ojos Locos, Bikinis Sports Bar & Grill, The WingHouse Bar & Grill, Redneck Heaven, and Bombshells Bar & Grill"

Bikini Sports Bar


Waitress from Twin Peaks at a car wash fundraiser. (I'm betting she raised some stuff)

Twin Peaks actually has great food. And a better view of the mountains.






5000 years ago, the Neolithic people of Dartmoor, UK cut and placed this 27 feet high standing stone of granite where The Oxenham Arms pub is now located.
The pub was built around it about 800 years ago, the stone goes all the way down into the foundation’s in the cellar.5000 years ago, the Neolithic people of Dartmoor, UK cut and placed this 27 feet high standing stone of granite where The Oxenham Arms pub is now located.

Nobody went to Hooters for the food...


Either Ms. Hedren is quite petite, or that tiger is HUGE

I guess Tippi was a big cat lady. Siberian tigers are the biggest ones. This one was Zoe.
