    Well that depends. I'd certainly prefer people stash a micro outside Hooters than decide they require a category. Somehow a film canister in a plant seems to fit the classiness better than the effort and attention of waymarking. Wink

    True... but who would try to start a Hooter's Category? Wait a minute... I know! Angel If you are looking for 'classy' in your GPS gaming, whether Geocaching or Waymarking brought you to the Hooters, with Waymarking you already know where you are going... Geocaching, often it would be once you get there. I'd rather have money in my pocket for some wings! Angel Cool BQ

    Waymarking aint exactly a den room full of men in top hats and monacles sipping brandy and smoking cigars, so maybe my use of "classy" is a bit strong, anyway.

    "I say... is that a benchmark?"

    "Why, dig it up ol' chap!"

    "By george, this is in a park! We can cross-post this area ten times!"

    "Splendid!"

    By Jove, I think she's got it!

    Seriously, I'm having a hard time understanding the problem some people have with Hooters. I mean other than an unfortunate name, of course.

    The biggest complaint I hear is the uniforms for the waitresses.

    I've seen worse.

    Okay, BQ? You up for some wings? Big Smile

    Oh, I got some [wing] bones to pick about Hooters. I got a soapbox here, trust me! When y'all write this thing, please include the actual company history. It's unique. I wouldn't call it a good unique, but it is unique from how other restaurants start-up. Or... you can just keep it the way that it was with "Hooters" written in each section. Need more be said? Hehehe

    I'm hoping it doesn't lead to categories for those topless- and naked-server steakhouses along the highway. Gah...

    If you wish to comment on a certain Category, it is best done in a thread dedicated to that category. As one did not exist for Hooter's, I have started one.

    Hooter'sRestaurants so please move the comments there for proper discussion.

    Cool BQ

    I say, old chap, when did we start letting the Fairer Sex into the Royal Society of Waymarkers? It is a bit rough for their sensibilities, I'd expect.

    I think around 1920, with the ratification of the 19th amendment.
