Nice Gig.

Doesn't Hendersonville suffer for want of chicken wings? I'm willing to do my part.

The new Hooters restaurant may have gotten an unwelcome reception from some of the community's religious leaders, but tonight it will get a little help from above.


As part of a private opening party, Monsignor Isidore Rozycki, the head Catholic priest for the Greater Waco area, plans to bless the chain's newest location at New Road and Interstate 35. The public won't be able to attend the event. But they can bask in the divine dedication starting Tuesday morning, when the restaurant officially opens. (Here's the whole thing.) (Also, there was an hysterical bit about this last night on Letterman [source of most of my info about important world events]; unfortunately it didn't make the web highlights.)

For the irony impaired, I am utterly and implacably opposed to Hooter’s-type exploitation of women, pornography, strip clubs and all the rest. I do like chicken wings, but not enough ever to patronize one of these horrid establishments. And if they do want to come to Hendersonville, I’ll happily draft the letter opposing. And I’ll send a friend in plain clothes to pick up the wings.

I love wings, and I've always wanted to try theirs, but not enough to overcome the distaste at patronizing their restaurant. The conflict became moot when I got married because I became Forbidden To Go There anyway. I wonder, if we could get a priest to bless the one in Hermitage, I would be allowed to just get some carry-out?
