Derrick at Bostworld has been adding to his most excellent menu collection again. Today's entries include the vintage Bob's Big Boy Menu shown above, the intriguingly named Flaming Pit, the steak chart that changed Humuhumu's life, and this holy list of sacred rum beverages prepared by my lord and master, Don the Beachcomber.

Let's all join Humuhumu as she takes us on a 10-cent virtual tour of the Jungle Room at Elvis Presley's Graceland, shall we?
The King, a man not known as an arbiter of good taste, managed to create a room that scrapes the very bottom of the 70's design aesthetic with its dark wood panelling, wall-to-wall avocado-green shag carpeting (on both the floor and ceiling), and a set of excruciatingly tacky Witco furniture (currently hot with retro-kitsch collectors and tiki enthusiasts). I love it, and can't help wondering if there's a secret chamber behind that rock wall where Elvis would munch on peanut-butter and banana sammiches, pop Percodans like Skittles, and watch girls with big hair wrestle in their underwear.
