The McRib is back at selected locations! I am overjoyed, overwhelmed, and maybe just a little ill from eating two cheeseburgers and a McRib in one frenzied sitting.

Why do I love the McRib? To me, it is the essence, no the distillation, of American fast-food culture. It takes a wonderful thing (BBQ ribs) and twists them into a convenience that is nearly as tasty, but in a completely different way.

It’s where roadside commerce meats culinary ingenuity. As the famous McRib commercial puts it, “It’s like a BBQ on a bun without the bones.”

I took a pic of the sandwich, they switched to a box container, which makes more sense than the paper wrapped ones they used to serve. Check out my well slathered McRib and forgive the bite, I couldn’t resist.

You know you want one. After all, you are only human daddy, so head to your participating McDonald’s and CHOMP!

Remember when Mickey Mouse decided to commit suicide?
Unless you lived in the 1930s or are a fan of vintage comic strips you might not be aware of the attempted Mickey Mouse suicide.
