A 'Breastaurant' in Buckhead

The team behind the newest restaurant in Buckhead, Twin Peaks also started Hooters, yet they'd like you to forget about those other boobs.  Twin Peaks will offer "scenic views" of gorgeous, be-cleavaged ladies in red plaid tied-up shirts in a double-decker cabin-esque space with hand-cut log seats, and a wide assortment of taxidermy, including deer and foxes.

Their starters are classily dubbed "teasers", and include venison chili and "Average Joes" (cheddar brats w/ smokehouse pico & Dijon mustard), while Phillys come w/ jalapeños, queso & pico to make them "Texas style", and burgers range from braised steak sliders to the bacon/ American / fried egg Hangover -- which, just like the movie, you should definitely not have two of. Meaty mains include green chile meatloaf w/ mac 'n cheese, chicken-fried steak w/ jalapeño cream gravy, and, if it's your own girlish figure you came here to watch, the garlic lime-buttered "Trophy Trout".

Beer's available, including their proprietary 6% Dirty Blonde and Knotty Brunette amber in sizes up to 44-DD, just kidding. Try the 22ozers, which pour through a system serving them "at 29 degrees!", likely the average number held by most of the red plaid-shirted employees.

Case of the Missing Wimbledon Hawk Solved

How do they keep pigeons away from the grounds at Wimbledon?

A trained hawk named Rufus.

But Rufus went AWOL last week.  He and he cage were stolen out of a car.

Now, some good news.

Police have confirmed that Rufus was handed into the RSPCA animal hospital in Putney, south west London and was reunited with his owners on Sunday.

"We have Rufus back, safe and well. We are ecstatic and so, so overwhelmed with all the lovely messages and help we have received," Imogen Davis told said.

Rufus will reportedly be given a few days' rest before resuming his duties at Wimbledon later this week.

Harrier hawks first came to the All England Club in 1999 and are trained to circle the courts to scare pigeons away.

Birds such as Rufus are flown before and after each day's play at Wimbledon, to avoid distracting players during the day's program.

First a roof and now a hawk.  What innovation at Wimbledon.  Is the U.S. Open taking notes?

George Lucas to Retire

Thought he was already sort of retired, but this might make it official.

The man who made such films as “Star Wars” and “Indiana Jones” revealed to Empire Magazine that he wants to stop making large-scale blockbuster films in order to focus on new projects.

“I’m moving away from the company,” he said. “I’m moving away from all businesses, I’m finishing all of my obligations and I’m going to retire to my garage with my saw and hammer and build hobby movies.”

“I’ve always wanted to make movies that were more experimental in nature, and not have to worry about them showing in movie theaters,” he added.

Although Lucas currently serves as executive producer for “Star Wars: The Clone Wars,” an animated television series on Cartoon Network, don’t expect a new “Star Wars” film to be released any time soon.

“Why would I make any more, when everybody yells at you all the time and says what a terrible person you are?” he told the New York Times in January.

But fans of “Indiana Jones” may be in luck—Lucas has not specified whether or not a fifth installment of the popular series is coming.
