I went to In-N-Out and ordered a cheeseburger. The cashier, a calm young woman named Destiny, asked me a question I did not expect.

"You want that Animal Style?"

I paused.

I did not know what this meant. But a samurai does not admit he does not know. So I answered with weight.

"...Animal Style."

"Cool. So that's mustard-grilled, extra spread, grilled onions, pickles. Yeah?"

I understood now. This was a sacred permission. For one meal, I was being told to put down my manners at the door. To eat the way a beast eats, without shame. I had waited my whole life for someone to give me this order.

"Yes," I said. "I will become the animal."

Destiny did not blink. "...Okay. You want your fries Animal Style too?"

I stopped. Even the potatoes?

"The potatoes also become animals?"

"I mean, they get cheese and sauce and grilled onions, so..."

"Then yes. Let the potatoes abandon their restraint as well."

"...Got it." She was the calmest woman I have ever met. "3x3, 4x4, or just the one?"

I did not know these numbers, but I knew a challenge when I heard one. "How many must I face?"

"It's, like, how many patties you want."

"How many is the most honorable?"

"...Four is a lot."

"Then four. A warrior does not ask for fewer."

She wrote it down without argument. A 4x4, Animal Style, with animal fries. She warned me once, kindly. "That's gonna be huge." I told her I was counting on it.

It arrived. It was a tower. Cheese and sauce ran down my hands the moment I lifted it. There was no clean way to eat it. There was no dignified way. That was the entire point.

I ate it like a beast. Both hands, no honor, grilled onion on my chin, and I have to be honest with you, it was the best thing I have ever put in my mouth.

For thirty years I have kept my manners at every table in the world.

They handed me a burger and told me to be an animal, and I have never felt so free.

So tell me, America.

The whole country knows the secret menu. What else are you hiding in plain sight?

And "Animal Style." Was I eating the animal, or finally becoming one?

Of course my @AmericanAir flight from CLT to CHO got moved to tomorrow because of a mechanical issue. At least customer service was able to get us on one to LYH then I will rent a car. But NO offer for travel voucher for their mess up. So I’m gonna complain here and see…

United States Senator Alex Padilla was representing the millions of Californians who are demanding answers to this Administration's actions in Southern California.

This is a shameful and stunning abuse of power.

@daniel_dinoia @krassenstein @OpenAI Gulf coast to anyone that lives in Florida.

Shocker. @ChipotleTweets in Staunton VA is out of vinaigrette again.

[Charles Johnson @cajohnson2]

The @ChipotleTweets in Waynesboro Va is the absolute worst chipotle and it’s not even 2 years old. Always out of vinaigrette because “the blender is broken” and tonight didn’t even have hard shells and steal was it because no one remembered to cook it…

Dm was sent to @Hertz with no reply.

[Charles Johnson @cajohnson2]

. @Hertz is the worst when it comes to Customer service after getting a rental. Flights were canceled and needed to change airports. Called and waited on hold 45 min for the agent to say he couldn’t change anything and then make me go online and pay $191 for an extra day.

This is the best gun accessory commercial I have ever seen

@Popeyes would you like to address the kid in your kitchen next to the fryers? If I don’t get a response my next call is OSHA

[Charles Johnson @cajohnson2]

Also @Popeyes this is the 2 orders of popcorn shrimp.

[Charles Johnson @cajohnson2]

So @Popeyes I am at one of your locations and a worker has their 8-10 year old playing around in the kitchen walking around the fryers and the service was painfully slow.

[Charles Johnson @cajohnson2]

@floridanow1 @PicturesFoIder Because an officer is required to show probable cause and he was asking for it. Any time I have been pulled over by law enforcement they answer that question with an exact reason for the stop then I give them my ID.

[Charles Johnson @cajohnson2]

The @ChipotleTweets in waynesboro VA is the worst chipotle ever. Always out of something, this time vinaigrette. Just not a good location.

[Charles Johnson @cajohnson2]

@kimmydotzip 🤣🤣

[Charles Johnson @cajohnson2]

@kimmydotzip Nice try 😉

[Charles Johnson @cajohnson2]

The @ChipotleTweets in Waynesboro Va, that is less than 2 years old, is the worst place to get Chipotle. It is just bad.
