it deserves it's own thread!

THE McRIB IS BACK!!!!!

I don't know what kind of mystery meat they put on those damn things, but when its drowned in that sauce with pickles and onions on top it doesn't matter. It's one of the things I look most forward to when the holidays roll around....if only it didn't have to go away.

So, who else loves 'em some McRib? You know you do!

    I saw the commerical this morning about the time I poured up my first cup o' joe and couldn't wait until lunch!

    I just finished the first two of those bad boys for the season! It was well worth the wait indeed!

    But how much does a McRib look like a real rack of ribs?

    So sloppy but so delicious. I like extra pickles and onions to maximize overall stinkiness.

    That's part of the grossness factor. Nobody puts a rack of ribs on a sandwich. Hello? The bones! So, you're eating a processed pork substance designed to look like rib meat and bones. Why don't they just put a little pork mold of an actual pig between the bread?

    I stand whole-heartedly by the aforementioned "gack".

    I actually didn't. I am sure as shit gonna have 2 tomorrow for lunch....that is if they are selling them in Boston.

    Did you see in Japan they are making the DOUBLE McRib? I wonder if it comes with a double by-pass.

    It should. I actually order my combo and then asked for another sandwich and the woman said I could get a two-sandwich combo! Now thats what I'm talking about!

    I like how McDonalds treats the McRib like some sort of limited time special that they are providing. Clearly it works, but can you imagine the marketing guy who suggested this?

    Here's how the meeting went down...

    A group of suits are sitting around a large conference table trying to figure out how to budget for the next quarter.

    Executive: "Goddammit, our numbers are for shit this quarter. I'm not sure what we have to do. We've tried every possible way to re-create the humburger, we've provided them with chicken, we need new ideas!!!"
    ...everyone around the table is muttering.

    Marketing guy: "Well, why don't we go outside of the box. Think international...How about fijitas, or maybe even pizza?"

    Executive: "Goddammit, that's the dumbest..."

    Marketing guy: "No wait sir, the numbers have shown that if we put out a new product people will buy it. It doesn't even have to be good."

    <Everyone at the table laughs.>

    Production guy: "Well, I don't know if this helps anything or not, but our supplier recently sent us this random box of "pork-product". Maybe we can do something with that."

    Executive: "You mean...pork?"

    Production guy: "No sir, the box says 'pork-product'. We're not really sure what it is."

    Marketing guy: "That's brilliant! Pork, the other white meat. People are loving that catch phrase. We should go with it!"

    Executive: "So what are we supposed to do with it? Pork burgers...er uh pork-product burgers."

    <Table laughs.>

    Marketing guy: "No, burgers are yesterday...we need a whole fresh idea. What about pork chop sandwiches? I was at the fair last weekend and people love them!"

    Production guy: "Well, like I said, it's not pork".

    Marketing guy: "Then what is it?"

    Production guy: "Think gray mush."

    Marketing guy: "Like ground beef, or I guess...pork".

    Production guy: "No not quite".

    Marketing guy: "Well shit, what the hell are we supposed to do with that?!?!"

    Production guy: "Well, we have a few boxes of it and I'm not sure what to do. We can add it to the McNuggets like the rest of the spare parts."

    Marketing guy: "What if we could shape it into a something that the consumer knows and is familiar with. What if we could get a mold that looks like a side of pork ribs."

    Production guy: "Sure, that's not hard but...you need to smell this stuff first. How is anyone going to eat that?"

    Marketing guy: "Oh don't worry about that. We'll load it up with BBQ sauce and add other strong tasting toppings to mask any adverse flavor...onions for sure... and what about pickles?"

    Executive: "I think you are on to something. We can't let these 3 boxes of pork-product go to waste."
    .
    .
    .
    3 weeks later...

    Same conference room, same people, someone brings in pile of pork-product sandwiches.

    Executive: "So here they are gentlemen. You are the first to try the new...<stands up and pulls sheet off of board> McRib!!!>

    <Everyone claps>

    Marketing guy: "Brilliant name sir, couldn't have come up with it better my..."

    Executive: "I want you to try these and be honest with me."

    <Everyone grabs one cautiously. Most people smell it, open up the bun and comment to their neighbor about the strange shape>

    Production guy: <Takes big bite> "Dear god!!!!" <Runs off to the bathroom>

    Marketing guy: "Oh my god, that is terrib...er uh, I mean, it uh...needs more BBQ sauce!!"

    Executive: "Well, even with more BBQ sauce that may be the worst sandwich I've ever tasted. We are going to use all three boxes in a small area to see how it does before we order more."

    Production guy: "Uh, sir...I've looked at the numbers and even if it does do well we can only get pork-product at certain times of the year and in small quantities."

    Executive: "Goddammit!!"

    Marketing guy: "No sir, don't you see. We can make it a 'limited time offer' a specialty sandwich. Sure, we all know it tastes like shit but like I've said before...you give them a product they'll buy it. And if it's limited time and in small quantities there will be a huge buzz for it. We'll collect boxes of pork-product and store them until we have enough to do it again."

    <Table applauds then proceeds to vomit one after another>

    ...and that is how the McRib was born.


    :D

    sometimes if I haven't eaten a McRib in a while, I'll make my own Faux-McRib

    Directions

    1.Get a Mickey D's cheeseburger and small fry and ask for a BBQ sauce.

    2.Open up the cheeseburger and layer fries across the meat patty so it looks like ribs.

    3.Cover with the Sauce

    4.Close your eyes and eat.

    Ironically, I think I now understand the whole Japanese scat sex thing....

    my mind works in mysterious ways.
    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.
