Oh, what a feeling! Gag Gift No Hoot for Hooters Waitress PANAMA CITY, Fla. - I would not have believed this story if I had not seen it on at least two separate news pages. A waitress is suing Hooters restaurant because they gave her a toy Yoda doll as a contest prize instead of the Toyota car she was expecting. Jodee Berry, 26, won a contest to see who could sell the most beer in April at the Hooters in Panama City Beach. She said the top-selling waitresses from each Hooters restaurant in the area were entered into a drawing to win a Toyota. She believed she'd won a new car. She was blindfolded and led to the parking lot, but when her blind- fold was removed she found she was not the winner of a Toyota, but a toy Yoda doll from the "Star Wars" movies. As compensation she's asking the cost of a new Toyota.

if I were writing Devil Take the Hindmost, part II, I would like to recount how the market rallied sharply in the 2 days preceding Greenspan's talk and then the old booger was faded in SOIZE, Maria Buffooneroma broke down in tears on the floor of the NYSE in front of the JPM trading post, Japan's umpteenth economic reform proposal, also to be released Wednesday, was sold in such SOIZE as if a nation of millions was vomiting bad Fugu while simultaneously performing Death Sphincter's diarrhea wave badsmells.homestead.com and being trampled by Godzirra the landscape littered with incinerated yen and stock certificates, and bank officials victims of seppuku(following a final 5-10% sucker rally in the nikkei of course), Franklin Raines was seen wandering the streets of DC smoking crack with Marion Barry and babbling something about anti-housing bias as the common stock of what will later come to be known as the Scammy Mae Ponzi Scheme finally broke support and signalled for even the lamest of brutally shagged and mildly retarded sheep involved in all capital markets save gold that they had better make a jailbreak before the ultimate shagging by MythMan himself...too bad I don't write the script. -g-
