Dave's McRib for 7-12

Mutual pleasure

This is to be a new installment. (as if we didn’t have enough) but rest assured this is not something for one of us (me) to rant about.

As I move to the name of the feature, I’d like to recall a story:

In my business of watching idiots park cars, and subsequently mess up, we have a lot of keys go missing. I had a Porsche key go missing from a property of mine last week. Grand total of damage: $3,000. For a lost key.

Anyway, when I was at the W in Westwood, our booth was raided at 4 am one night. 4 sets of keys were stolen. While no cars went missing, it was an act which had considerable collateral damage.

While three of the missing key’s owner’s had spares on them, one did not, and we were forced to rent a car for him, wait until he sent a key up to the hotel, and then drive his car down to him in San Diego, and then drive the rent a car back.

My friend and boss told me of how he had to go down to SD for the day. I asked if he wanted someone to go with.

The short of the rest is, we got drunk on the company tab, had too much to eat, and spent the whole day listening to ESPN radio in the car. And he got stoned on the beach of La Jolla. Good day indeed.

But at the start of the trip, we went to McDonalds. He got a Quarter pounder meal, while I decided to be adventurous and try the (then) new Chicken Selects.

They came out with too much breading, bad cuts of chick, and 3 terrible dipping sauces.

Him: Any good?

Me: No, thoroughly disappointing.

Him: Why would you order such a thing? What makes you think McDonalds can make good chicken fingers, prepared in less than a minute to boot.

Me: I don’t know. I just will always try new stuff.

Him: Why. Why not stick with the classics?

Me: The McRib. I want to find another McRib.


So I have tried the new Burger King Chicken Sticks. I have eaten the toasted Subs at Subway. I have attempted the Chicken Selects.

I have had the Big Fish.
The Taco to go
The taco Del Carbon
The McDonalds salads
The chicken Cibatta
The Angus thick-burger (in the western States, whatever Carl’s Jr, calls the Six Dollar Burgers)

I can go on.

Whatever the taste of the month is, nothing will ever be equal to the McRib.

I still do this day do not know why the Rib is not on the constant McDonalds menu. Having it there for a brief period of time increases my business there 800% there in a month span.

People talk about the McRib in such hushed and reserved tones you think that the Grateful Dead are coming to town (and I realize that the Simpsons did an episode along this angle, but I thought of it first. I swear.)

I have ordered 5 in one trip.

FIVE!!!!

There is the possibility that the Sandwich is not that good. It’s more than likely that it comes from production circumstances that would Upton Sinclair would be forced to write a follow up to The Jungle about.

Anyway.

Now to a basic format to recommend anything to you all to consider.

From Web sites, to books, to movies, to whatever.

Now for the first,

I compel you to look at one of furthest taken jokes (I know that’s bad grammar), Simpsons ever did.

It’s one of those complete throw away gags for a throw away joke for a throw away plot of the opening episode of the 2000-2001 Season (which we should pretty much all suppress from our memories).

Great episode of the worst season in Simpsons history.

If you get it, your probably as big of a dork as I am.
