Some guys have said that most Hooters girls didn't look like much, but those I have seen all look pretty cute.

101: Goes right through the heart of downtown LA. Really really really ******* awful up until the Echo Park area... then it is only awful from there til the Hollywood Hills.

710: Insane truck drivers going 80 all the time on this one.

405: "We're going 4 oh 5 miles per hour".

110: Haven't been all the way down on this one. But from where it starts in South Pas to around where USC is........ tiny ass freeway and it's WIND-EY AS ****, may as well be a rollercoaster if you go fast enough.


The 5 sucks ass too!

60: Like the Jekyll & Hyde of LA freeways. It could be Sunday night at midnight and there will be redlights for as far as the eye can see. It could be a Friday afternoon at 3pm and smooth sailing.

I'm not much of a fan of Hooters but have been to that one a few times and the one in Costa Mesa. That one off Katella is much better in terms of the girls than the one in Costa Mesa.

Last year a friend and I went to that Hooters before the Angels game. We had lunch/beer for a couple hours then went to the game. After the game was over we walked back on over to our cars and decided to go back inside. That lasted for a few hours and few more beers as well. Our server was actually pretty hot and skinny (alot of the servers tend to be fat), and I ended up getting her number. Called her a couple days later while on the start of a week long vacation but forgot about it when I got back and never did call back and set up a date. Found out she had just turned 18 when I initially called her which took me by surprise as well.

Hilarious you guys mention hooters, I am actually thinking about heading there to eat now. I live right by the one in LB and have a $25 gift card to spend. Suck on that, fine dining threak.

As far as freeways:

710 - I love this one. Lots of trucks but hardly any traffic ever. Probably my favorite even though its hood. Plus they just repaved and added a carpool lane

110- Anything south of the 10 is generally a straight non-stop shot

91- Not too bad, relative to others.

405 - awful. avoid at all costs.

101- gotta be the worst. At 10 pm on a sunday it can still back up. Its like 3 lanes wide to boot.



At my last job, i went home this way: 105 E. > 110 S. > 91 E. > 710 S. - Who the **** travels 4 or 5 freeways a day? Angelenos.

You must be talking about the 91 in LA and not the 91 between OC and IE, because that stretch is awful.

Funny you mention 4 or 5 freeways a day to get to work. I use 2 freeways to get to work and it's only 3 miles from my house. 3 freeways to get to Angel Stadium and that's only 5 miles. Neither of those involve the 5 freeway which is less than half a mile from either home, work, or Angel Stadium. Lulz.

Ummmmmmmmmm, what the **** is up with the weather?

It's like 80 degrees outside and it's ******* raining.

I pay what I do to live in LA because IT'S NEVER HUMID AND I HATE HUMIDITY. Get your **** together Dallas Raines....I'm looking at you, too, Fritz Coleman.

This is such a wonky summer for weather. Had June gloom deep into July and now it ******* rains?

Don't know where the rains coming from. It's been sunny all morning and about 90 degrees in Orange County.

And input like this really makes it even more valuable.
