I just received my weekly Upwire thing, and on the new releases for Friday I noticed what they said about Stuntman:

Stuntman (PS2) - £35.99 - SAVE £4
Perform cunning stunts in Reflections' movie-based driving extravaganza!

Now, there's a Metallica video/dvd called Cunning Stunts which is called what it is because swapping the first syllables of each word around gets something else (work it out for yourself). So then, Special Reserve, is this:
a) an in-joke
b) a joke you though up all-by-on-your-own to be 'clever'
c) something which you actually mean.

Sure, cunning stunts works fine (it IS Stuntman), but you never know...

PS "Thanks for reading this week's Upwire bulletin. I bet no one reads this."

Well, I did.

Next week on the Upwire: a revival of the classic fuzzy duck, ducky fuzz drinking game?

Correct. It was a subtle homage to our favourite ageing metal band, and the contribution they made towards Reflections' driving stunner.

Or it's just a saying that's been around for ages.

I've seen the phrase mentioned in books, and on TV. It wasn't invented by Metallica.
