I love McRib. It reminds me of Germany, where it never went on hiatus.

NASTY!

Poor Lukiwski...busted for gay bigotry, and now exposed as a former TV actor chowing down on McRibs while his family hungers.

Kate, give the guy a break.

All I can think of when I hear the voice speaking in the commercial is that he is really trying to say.

Mac Riab ... das not fo honkais fool.

Have John West and Richard Warman ever been photographed together?

By the way, that's a really, really, bad interpretation of the accent, John.

Pukon Gold,

Give me your interpretation of the Ebonic accent and I will read it. And what's this Warman reference? You are confused and possibly retarded.

I love at the end, "Only at MacDonald's"

There's no "a" in McDonalds.

So much for non-regional diction eh?

thats Tony Joe White. and he is lighter than Borat Dion.

McYuk!!
Let the fags support them,
they don't get any of my money.

The chilluns used to think it was funny when I called McDonalds "Choke & Puke", I wasn't joking.

Ah yes, McRib. Tony Roma's for trailer park folk.

What did Tony Roma's do to deserve that?

I guess losing that tank car of ingredients yesterday didn't affect the supplies after all. Whew.

So ...... who's gonna lead this movement .

Shame on Jooonnnnyyyy Wesss, yoube une bada$$ dude bro. Where's Michael Moore when you need him?

Personally, I think Tony Roma's ribs are over rated. I cook a far better rack on my own bar-b-que.

People eat shite!

John West,

That was a cowboy accent, doofus.

You want me to explain the Warman comment? Some of stuff you say is so disgusting, I'd rather believe you're an agent provocateur rather than just an ignorant racist.

You mean SDA is sponsored by McRon's?

Does kate get all the McRib's she can chow down?

Is that Brad Wall's brother? Looks just as nerdy to me!!1

You mean McRib is the official sandwich of extreme right wingers.

Just so you all know that I'm not prejudicial against all RIGHT WINGERS, I'll have you know that the only right wingers I love are Daniel Alfredsson, Dany Heatly, Chris Niel, and Martin Lapointe.

GO SENATORS GO

At least it's better than the McWorm, which never caught on.

Pukon,

What Reverend Jeremiah Wright says is racist. What I say is funny. What you say is judgmental and stupid.

I can't wait till an employee who happens to be a follower of the Religion of Peace™ refuses to serve that unclean stuff.

Did you know you can order a McLobster Sandwich out on the east coast?

I wonder what the accent would be for that TV commercial?

"Ize da buy that ket-chez the fish and Ize da buy that sales um"

Pukon,

let me tell you a story about ribs.

I lived in Cleveland Ohio in the late 60s. I used to take my car into a little garage that was owned by a couple of black brothers. On Thursday nights they would take the hood of 1950 dodge that they sandblasted clean. They would hang it from the engine hoist upside right over top of a small gas forge. They will pour in a gallon BBQ sauce and cook up a few slabs of ribs and the regulars would drop in and have a taste. They used come out once in a while and listen to my band play on the week-ends and sometimes I would go and hear them. We all played soul music, R&B music and some Motown stuff. You know, soul music. But on Thursday nights ... best ribs in the world. Those were better times, before clowns like you started calling people racists. You don't me and you don't know shit.

Largs, not an issue when I ordered Double Rib at Subway....most of the time the server is from a Muslim country, Pakistan in particular, a home created for Muslims BTW....they dont seem to have any trouble with it. As it should be. Of course the disparaging remarks they say about Hindus after they leave the store was more than a little disturbing. But they served me my pressed pork rib.

No, John, you're still a bigot. You may think you're funny, but, gotta tell you, they aren't laughing with you...

Sweet story, John. I think I saw that on an episode of Happy Days. Tell me, did you ever get to hook up with Leather Tuscadero?

Funnily enough, your comment would have only been mildly inappropriate and racist if it hadn't been a freaking cowboy voicing the jingle.

They can't offer the McRib down heya in Luisi-Yana, it would cause a traffic jam to and from the south-side of town.
,

Why in the world would any religion have a problem with what's on the menu at Rotten Ronnie's? ---nothing served contains real meat.

I'm reminded of a Sam Kinison routine where he says of the McRib, "Hey, let's see if people will eat shit on bread." I've never had one, but the sight of my father furiously trying to roll down the car window so he could toss a McRib out (sans one bite) cured me of any desire to try one.

Stephen it will happen, maybe not here, but I can see it happening in Britain. Muslim store clerks in non Muslim stores have already refused to sell pork products (Mark's and Spencer's I believe) and have refused to touch unclean Cristian books in Non Muslims stores. As these items have to be touched to be scanned it is a refusal to sell them IMHO.

Is that ad aimed at kids under 13 years of age?
- and how would we know?

Largs ....that Happened in Michigan!

I'm waiting for the Rage Boy Protests all over Eurabia .....!

Mmmmmm..Mcrib..grilled...er...pressed and microwaved into simulated rib form perfection!..ghaaastly stuff..

What other names was McDonalds called besides rotti'n ronnies?

Just what part of the pig do these "boneless ribs" come from? Or do they just breed boneless swine and run them through the slicers?

Personally, like other coloured people, I like Popeye's chicken. Chick Fil-A is second choice. Something's just wrong about them ribs. There's no ribs in them!!

Wood be poplar if the two cowboys took it outside

kursk

We call it Chez Ron's

You don't me and you don't know shit.

I know ya, Duke.

Only my mother could stomach at McD's was their McRibs.

"...do they just breed boneless swine ..."

Yeah, the boneless pig farm is next to the Boneless Chicken Ranch. The Far Side fans will get the joke. For those who aren't think about a "Chicken Ranch" without bones (La Grange residents need not reply).

I don't know about boneless swine, but I do know that there is a glut of spineless chickens.

Lisa: No I can't! I can't eat any of them!

Homer: Wait a minute wait a minute wait a minute. Lisa honey, are you saying you're *never* going to eat any animal again? What about bacon?

Lisa: No.

Homer: Ham?

Lisa: No.

Homer: Pork chops?

Lisa: Dad! Those all come from the same animal!

Homer: [Chuckles] Yeah, right Lisa. A wonderful, magical animal.

That looks tasty, but, why do I get a picture of a dismembered clown being dragged through the streets of Mogidishu by a bunch of screaming guys in threadbare 5 year old Rebok knock offs?

Do they still have "McWraps"?

These came out in the UK while I was living there. The problem for the McDonalds marketing types was that everyone immediately said "Mc-Craps" instead.

Everyone, JJM, or just the anti-market, fascist, elitist snobs like most of the people commenting above? Personally, I'd like to thank Kate for the tip. I was wondering what to have for dinner today, and the double quarter-pounder with cheese and small fries I just finished was excellent.

I love engineered food. Though, to be honest, I did add a couple tablespoons of Kraft Cheez Whiz to the burger, and Kraft Miracle Whip to the fries. For dessert, I'm having a small selection of Colston-Basset Stilton, Montgomery Cheddar, and Drumloch cheeses, accompanied by a glass or two of port.

I sincerely hope that the gratuitous bile that some people seem to have to spew on every topic doesn't keep their digestion less happy than mine, though that's a pretty high bar to reach. Perhaps a tip from my grandmother would be of assistance: If you have nothing good to say, say nothing at all. Or in the vernacular, shut up and eat already.

Mmm, you know, this port really compliments the onion sinuses from the burger.

Salut!

You are politically hip, comprehend all the "ists" as well as a connoisseur of fine cuisine . I am sending you my grandmother's recipe for fried potato pancakes and jellied pork feet which are not patented.You could make millions and clog the rest of everyone's arteries.I would go for it myself but I'm too busy watching Oprah.She is finally talking to Jesus. Ted Turner move over.

Latkes and studnetz! Breakfast! Burp. Oops, pardon me.

Racist. Racist. Racist. Racist. Racist. Racist. Racist. Racist. Racist. Racist. Racist. Racist. Racist. Racist. Racist. Racist. Racist. Racist. Racist.

The law of political correctness says the negative sting caused by the accusation of racism is inversely proportional to the number of times it is hurled gratuitously in every direction by hypersensitive nutbars. Sad to say, but at this point in history the word is just about ready to be worn as a badge of honour.

Food is not a race. You need to eat more slowly.

How about McStudnetz?

It aint food !

Yes, he shoots, he scores! Nice stick handling, Nicko.

Yukon Gold and John West are having a McFight,

Let's hope they do not super-size it!

If I whine enough, maybe the government will set up a McRib exchange program for me. I give them my old empty, dirty box, and they give me a nice new clean one with a McRib in it.

"...do they just breed boneless swine ..."

Just outside Vegas right.

looks like the food they fed me in prison! i'll take the "glass is half full" stance -- at least mo won't be feedin it to me -- that's a bonus...would someone please give me my lithium!

Orlin, thats one of the reasons I love pork!

Wait a minute, Nicko, wait a minute, what about McKeeshka?

That's it! Tonight's SDA LNR is now in the can.

Yum. Yum.

That would go well with one of the Top Ten Rejected Campbell's Soup Flavors:

(1) Sideburns and Barley.

OT: Big riots in Egypt. Media ignoring it, as usual.

Well I could have told Campbell's that, Hannibal, what a weak dish. Completely unbalanced. Now, Sideburns, Barley, and Hurdy-Gurdy, that's a classic.

(PS to Louise: Take two Pil's and a juice and wait for Reader Tips.)

An eclectic emporium for the aural and taste buds this comment thread has become. Vitruvius, can we dehydrate these things, package them for a hardy shelf live, and push them into the global food retail supply chain for a tidy profit? This question is burning....

I told you before to lay off the excessive spices, Shaken.

(2) Tapwater and Lawn Trimmings

I spice only to the point necessary to ensure sufficient elbow and leg room on the GO train, Vitruvius. But your cautions are noted.

Ok, cream of gristle is right out for me, grind it up better and call it cream of pate. Old-fashioned grease and weasle, I had that for breakfast yesterday. Mink bisque sounds marvellous, I must try it with some truffle oil one day. Pretty good list though, thanks, Hannibal (but your Disney list is off topic).

I just had an eerie premonition that Paul Wells may show up any minute.

Why would anyone that has a Burger Baron in town choose McDonalds?

Guys,

Those are old 1988 googled David Letterman Top Ten lists.

Ya know, back when he was funny.

I specifically went to McDonalds today to set up my shtick in this thread, Ural. Not bad, eh? Though it is the case that I get a craving for a quarter-pounder about every three months. Yes, that's right, it's my quarterly quarter pounder. What? No, I don't even know 'er.

Still no sign of Manny.
Oh well, look on the bright side, I always say.
That's one less festering pustulent boil to lance.

A successful enterprise will identify its niche markets and the demographics in which it sees opportunity.

You have your green diet. This includes a medley of appropriated foods from the various cultures, many equitorial, that have ensconced themselves in the tundra. These food items are intended to reduce one's carbon footprint, state healthcare footprint, prevent procreation, minimize cellulite deposits, and ideally, be non-flatulent at the same time. If a food item crunches and drips, and has a non-english-sounding name, it is probably green, and permissible to eat if you are a socialist. This is the diet of the non predator by choice.

The diet of the predatory type is red in color, and often drips. Predators are right winged, and of necessity, have sharp teeth and are very mean.

There is always the third possibility, and epicurian correctness (EC) is no exception to this rule. The third class is the scavenger. The ultiimate opportunist - the underrated and unsung hero of the gastrosphere.

This is the untapped market, Vitruvius. Dumpster cuisine is frugal, offers endless variety, and serves a vital function in the gastrosphere. Dumpster meals can be reheated (and are often found already in this state) with solar energy. Wind energy is useful in maintaining food safety.

i remember mosyin' thru the south(east texico)once upon a time and found mesself in that majickal tippin spot jus' where the BBQ change fum beef to pig.....and i floated there like unto burridan's ass....i'm heah now talkin' to you so you know i must have made a decision.

You're sure it wasn't the peyote, John?

Hey, Nicko, she's up now ~ tinyurl.com/67a6md ~ so I'm out of embargo. For your ease of reference, in honour of our McKeeshka discussion, here are The Matys Bros. performing Who Stole the Keeshka:

sagaciousiconoclast.blogspot.com/2008/04/who-stole-keeshka.html

I remember seeing an attractive looking McRib poster with colourful sizzling meat... and moments later staring in queasy disgust at the gray piece of meat in a bun after having unfortunately taken a small bite...

... the McDonald's employee who walked by asked me what was wrong. I told her.

I got my money back. Last time I ever wanted to try a McRib.

It's sausage, Christoph. All the meat sold at McDonalds is sausage. Pattied, tubed, sliced, ribbed, what's the difference. Oh, I understand, those of you who can afford to waste without giving it a second moral thought can happily go on living only on filet mignon and fois gras, but we hunters believe that if you're gonna' kill the critter for food, then you bloody well better eat the whole danm thing. Including the keeshka: blood sausage.

Personally, I don't like a plate full of jiggling giblets, but make a proper sausage out of them, well, that's moral eating. Of course, you may not think that McDonalds has proper sausages, regardless of the dietary engineering that goes into the product, yet it remains the case that:

De Gustibus Non Est Disputandum

Vitruvius,

Our duty, as humans, is to assert our position on the top of the food chain ... with it comes our moral responsibilities. That is why we invented sausage and condinments.

We did not invent sausages so we have a place to stick ground up filet mignon. On the matter of the McRib ... what better way is there of saying "I own your ass" than a pig on a spit? From there we move down to recognizable chunks, like ham, ribs, bacon, chops etc. Anyone that would take the bones out and grind up the meat from a slab of ribs, is clearly turning their back on their duty and insulting the motives of the sausage inventor.

BTW: Oysters en Brochette sends a pretty clear message to both oysters and pigs.

Your brisket or your life! Good night, everyone ;-)

How come the never put out a McHaggis sandwich?
It's racism I tells ya.

Largs:
Because they don't serve scotch at McD's. Yet. ;)

And you ain't nothing if not consistent.

'degustibus non disputandum est'

was THAT what you were trying to express vitruvius ?....even in my peyote besotted state i can tell dog latin from a mcrib.

Oooooooo how did Aristotle yell , "FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT" again?
This should be incomprehensible, but amazingly funny!
