Watch out, Hooters — there’s a new ‘breastaurant’ in town, and shocker, it’s military-themed

Move over, Hooters. There’s a new “breastaurant” franchise invading Texas with full force, and you guessed it; it’s military-themed.

“Bombshells” — an eatery thus named for the seemingly scantily-clad modern-day pin-ups who will serve all-American fare — is set to open three new franchise locations, including one in San Antonio, at an undisclosed date.

“We believe Bombshells is a significant entry into the market for modern sports bar restaurants,” said Nick Mehdi, manager of the San Antonio franchise, in a press statement. “It appeals to singles, couples, and families, including millennials.”

The author then laments her father not taking her to Hooters. It seems as if the author does not appreciate the nature of this new theme restaurant. Probably not a part of the target demographic. As part of the target demographic, I for one welcome the new military-themed restaurant that honors our aerial warfare heritage.

While I would hit that, she looks as happy to be there as at Ramones origonal members reunion concert.

It will have to compete with “Twin Peaks” (no relation to the television show) in Fort Worth. But I doubt the “Breastaurant” market would be too overflowing in cowtown.

Prolly wouldn’t be hard at all to get up a Company sized formation to assault those Breastworks. Not pulling your leg, we could just wing it and make a flank attack.

IDC SARC to the white courtesy phone.

Ahem…”breastworks” is an engineering terms. Sounds like you may need some Engineer support there, Bunny of the Gun.

Sign me up for Signal support. SOI will be issued at 0800, radio checks to follow.

A lot of “breastwork” goes into troposcatter antenna frames.
So yeah, Signal should be “up front” on this.

I always found TRC-170 dishes a little too far apart. I preferred my inflatable satellite antennas that I kept at a satisfying distance apart.

Somehow I figured that Pappy, The Engineer, would be the FIRST to volunteer to “breech” those breastworks, mainly to be FIRST to capture the Class VI Supplies.

Now for all of you wire dogs and commo rats…I’m sure that you want to be the FIRST to check Ms Thangs’ “receiving unit” for shorts. And to use your probe to make sure her receiving unit is well…receptive. News flash pards…you WILL meet some resistance as she doesn’t have a micro farad of capacitance for your short wave antenna probe.

The Tilted Kilt used to be another “theme” restaurant. I can attest our waitress did not go “regimental”…

I can envision a small booth for two.
Call it “the radio operators position”
Complete with O2 bottles and masks.

The downstairs room could be accessed via a pair of bomb bay doors.

Where are the strings for the balloons in the above pic????

OK, I had to get a Kleenex for this (NO!! STOP IT!!!) to blow my nose from laughing.
Usually it’s 26Limabeans that’s being pithy these last few days.

So, Military Times have become a liberal rag. Got it.

Ya know, not everything is about politics all the time… don’t be a boob.

The Stranger

Stop insulting boobs like that!

Slow Joe

David, everything IS about politics.

Where have you been for the last 4 years?

MSG Eric

No, everything is about boobs. No wonder you’re slow, Joe….

Where have you been since 1990?

About 15 years ago, when I was in Atlanta I went to a restaurant in the underground that was like a punk/goth/alternative themed hooters restaurant and bar.

I met my favorite waitress ever.

26Limabeans

What was he wearing?

Commissar

Too funny.

Well done.

OldManchu

Was it a transgender?

NHSparky

Pfft. All are pale comparisons to the long-closed 688.

I was born under a lucky star to have been able to go there AND Faith In Physics down in Orlando.

Hasn’t the “Breastaurant” thing been done to death? Women have other body parts too.

How about a restaurant where all the women have big butts and call it “BOOTY’S?”

Of course, South Park was all over this almost 20 years ago:

Looking forward to them opening a San Diego franchise!

On a loosely-related note, does anyone know any decent pinup artists looking for work?

26Limabeans

Good question TOW.
A lot of the WW2 nose art was done by non artist types.
Wish there were a book naming some of them and their work.
There are plenty of books with examples but the artists
themselves need recognition.
Keep up the incredible work you do. It is appreciated.

When Alberto Vargas passed away in 1982, that kind of put a damper on his art style. But keep looking: there may be someone who can do it.

Make one of the teeth gold with an encrusted diamond insert.
You will be Da Man.

Actually, need a pinup adaptation of a picture of my lovely wife, so that I can send it to a custom decal guy and thus have it grace the nose of a 1/48 B-17G in the late-‘44/45 colors of the 381st BG (H).

You’d be surprised at how well some airbrush shops can do this….or….A vinyl wrap shop.

Seen some awesome work done by both style of businesses.

Andy

This is not news. Bombshells has been here for more than a couple of years.

MSG Eric

Well, it’s the military times, they are a couple years behind on most stories.
