Dang. I’m soooo tired. Got up yesterday at 9am, had donuts at the beach with Mama. (Speaking of the beach, here are Mariko, Hedi and the little mama the day prior.)
Now I’m at work, 0442 in the ay-em. Yawn. I feel like a Bad Blogger, but I’m too tired to post more. Only this: I had lunch at In’n’Out this afternoon (yesterday, whatever), and I’m convinced they are some kind of weird cult. (Overlook the grammar, please. Cain’t think right.)
1) Every employee is young and white. No matter WHERE you go, they’re young and white. Check.
2) There are the tiniest little bible verses printed on the cups and bottoms of the food labels. They’re not quoted, only referenced. I remember looking up one of the Revelations ones once, and it freaked me out a bit.
But DAMN, it’s a good burger.
Off in 14 minutes. To sleep…..
More later,
xoxxxzzzzzzzzz
It IS a good burger… {sigh}… why do you always manage to make me miss CA? At least I’ll be there in May… and if anyone stands between me and Nation’s hamburgers, they’re forwarned. 😉
That would creep me out,too. Fortunately we have no In & Outs in Miami, so I will be saved from recruitment. Guess I am stuck with FuddRuckers.
Perhaps Nicole Ritchie and Paris Hilton should go work there to distract them from their mission. They can put lewd sayings on their signs, and flirt outrageously with the old men. It’d be fun.
W. 🙂
I only know of “In and Out” from the Big Lewbowski. I always thought it was a fictional burger joint.
Guess I was wrong.
The bible verse is weird.
The people at Yarn Lady have scripture and other life altering recommendations posted all over their bathroom walls. It sure makes me wait a while longer!
STEP AWAY FROM THE BURGER GIRLFRIEND! Seriously though, very weird day today. I read your post about bible verses in a burger joint, and a friend of mine, who although is a bit of a pollyanna at times, sends me an email about God’s Divine Plan. What’s got into her?!!
Jeepers creepers! That’s just Wrong! Maybe they’re owned by the Mormons…
Get some rest, friend.
Weird about the bible verses. Care for a little Job with your milkshake?
I’m with Jacqueline–I only know the place from The Big Lebowski. Now I’m going to have Steve Buscemi’s voice in my head for the rest of the day. Not that I mind much.
I get a kick out of those unexpected Bible verses in the far out places. You gotta appreciate their commitment to their beliefs. I hope you get some sleep. My youngest kid was up at 4am and it just makes the whole day lloonnnggg.
Someone did tell me they were owned by mormons, but I don’t know for sure. I don’t really care as long as they keep making those seriously good burgers. Yum!
donuts on the beach with the little mama…I suh-wear you are the BEST! Sleep well….and um,
nine hundred and ninety nine, one THOUSAND!
*hee*
I wrote an article about In-N-Out years ago, and yes, they are weird. They wouldn’t give me ANY information at all. It is privately owned by a very religious family. Before every company meeting, they do the pledge of allegiance! BUT, if you’re going to eat a “fast food” burger, that’s the place to go. They get all their meat from ONE ranch, and they have their own commissary where they butcher their meat.
Maybe you could use a bit of caffeine right now, dearie?
The pix are from your spy-phone, right? I *love* the way they look the way color film looked in the 70s.
I had been hearing about in ‘n out for year and finally tried it last year and loved it. i hate that they are a bunch of fundamentalists. (love your strappy tank by the way)
I saw the pic and I started to really miss CA and the burgers. Then I continued reading and I don’t miss the burgers anymore. That is weird. Stay away, stay far far away.
I’m laughing at the image of a religious family sitting around, trying to come up with a name for their burger empire, and agreeing on “In-N-Out”! What the–? Maybe the rebellious teen daughter suggested it as a joke, and then the clueless elders said, “Yes! In-N-Out!” And Bible verses? Ai-yi-yi! California is nutty.
Oh, AND I meant to say that I love the photo at the top! The quality is like a vintage Polaroid — very cool.
