Not-so-secret menu

In-n-out Burger's previously 'secret' menu is now official. Though you still need to know it from memory if you expect to get your burger "Animal Style".

Also confirmed - there is no such thing as "Monkey Style".... in a burger at least.

Cutter's Way

Confusing, pretentious and wholly inadequate 80's 'detective' movie with Jeff Bridges..

Halliwell says: Heavy-going melodrama which tries very hard to be something more than a thriller, and manages only to imply that the world stinks; so it might as well have stuck to Philip Marlowe.
