Wordless Wednesday: Huey's
No it's not raining inside. Those are toothpicks stuck in the ceiling.
This is the draw of the restaurant. They give customers a cup of toothpicks and straws. The game is to blow a toothpick hard enough to get it stuck in the ceiling. It's not easy. Instant entertainment.
Ok, so I read your comment about how the toothpicks get up there in the ceiling, and now I just have to know if anyone has accidentally Inhaled, when they should have Exhaled.....and some freak toothpick accident occurred? just how my mind works...
I have never known of any toothpicks to fall or anyone getting hurt. The local chain has been doing this for years, and that's their popular appeal. Once one gets a toothpick in the ceiling, I believe it's there for the year. Once a year, they take them all down & count them. People enter a contest to guess how many toothpicks there are in the ceiling, and there are three prizes of a couple hundred dollars each. The rest of the money is donated to the Memphis Zoo.

That's pretty cool! I have a friend that makes toothpicks into art.
Not very convenient for the customers. ;)

I would be hesitant to sit under them, esp come a big wind ;o) or sit by any patrons aiming to low! Thanks for the linky! Faythe @ GrammyMouseTails
Ok, I give up, what's the reason for that attraction? Interesting.
LOL! That is interesting Joyce! Thanks for hosting.
And I thought Gino's was weird for letting all the customers write all over their walls. This takes crazy to a whole new level :)
This sounds totally fun. Let's go there and give it a try!
REally cool deco.. just wondering if the toothpicks would fall off.. seems rather scary sitting under it.
Whao..really weird deco..hope the toothpicks don't fall off
A very different decoration eh~
I give up too! Why?
Happy WW!

Really amazing these sticks on the roof!
That is so cool. I want to go there now just to see it.
Okay ..... LOL
I can see my two oldest children (25 and 20) loving that place. ;)

Wow, why, now?

Wow, I'm surprised there are so many. That seems like it would be very difficult!
Fun, but kind of gross! Do they bring you new food if one falls into it?

You would think they fall out frequently.
It might start raining if they start coming out.
Wouldn't want those to fall on me, might get rather stabby. Or at least give me a splinter haha
That looks cool but I don't want to sit or walk under them.
Interesting, but I wouldn't want to be under them.
I really don't have words....very interesting though...
That is an unique activity in the restaurant.
Great shot!
Whoa, those birds must've been pretty mad!
Cool. I can just imagine the guests doing that. Visiting late from WW. Hope you have a wonderful weekend. ice cream fondue
