My wife actually likes the place for the wings, I've only beed 3 or 4 times. I like wings, I just can't eat the damn things from being preoccupied with the girls.
Don't get me wrong, I've been to Hooter's that have some very attractive ladies. But I've seen my fair share of girls that shouldn't be allowed to work in clothes that skimpy. Must of been lucky my day to get he "B" squad.

As opposed to the "D" squad? Wings great, scenery fine, but shiny brown pantyhose kills it for me.

As a retired FAO who spent years rubbing elbows and other body parts with the refined society in the embassy crowd in the Middle East and Africa, I am particularly proud that I have retained my own cultural roots.
Then again as a quasi-Cajun from SE Texas I would have to say ethnic confusion prevented me from scoring 100%. What the #$%& is a scuppernong?

A scuppernong is a grape, indigenous to North America, IIRC, from which fine homemade wine can be made.

11 out of 15.
Growing up we called it pawnhaus/ponhaws instead of scrapple. I didn't know what scrapple was until I went to college.

This test would do well with geographic variations. For example, can anyone explain what a "Molly Hogan" is?
This term and it's origin would be known to those gentlemen who worked in the woods logging but possibly foreign to graduates of MIT.

about cable, ... I guess a "real man" would use a fid and splice it in rather than clamps. I hear stories of splicing steel cable by hand, don't think I would ever want to do it. It is bad enough with braided line. I have two rigging knives w/fids. I would use clamps too.
I'll have to ask the logger who lives below me. But He uses the new Finnish stuff. He does have a a gin(SP) pole..
Not sure if I gor it right. We did some selective cut to thin our forest. 7 truck loads of timber and about that in Fur wood.

That's close enough for a pass.
I can tear apart and wrap a Molly Hogan in one inch wire rope, barehanded, no clamps.
Others can decide if this makes me a real man or not.

Well, I have hung out with you on more than a few occasions, and I will stipulate that you are a real man, unless you want to quibble with me, forcing me to bring out the photos.
