Yum.



"The McRib sandwich boasts 70 ingredients. That's a whole lotta goings on for a sandwich advertised as "a McRib Pork Patty, bun, barbecue sauce, pickle slices and slivered onions. The bun alone makes up 34 of those ingredients, with tasty additives like Ammonium Sulfate (a kind of salt commonly found in soil fertilizers), azodicarbonamide ("a flour-bleaching agent that is most commonly used in the manufacture of foamed plastics like in gym mats and the soles of shoes," according to Time) and everyone's favorite trans fat friendly partially hydrogenated soybean and cottonseed oils.
McDonald's keeps suspiciously vague regarding the patty meat, claiming it's a wholesome combination of "pork, water, salt, dextrose and three kinds of preservatives: BHA, Propyl Gallate, Citric Acid. BHA, or butylated hydroxyanisole, a fat preservative, "may contribute to carcinogenicity or tumorigenicity" and can also lead to changes in behavior. Propyl gallate also has carcinogenic properties and can have damaging effects on the stomach, skin, respiratory system, kidney and liver; it's banned in other countries."

It's a wonder you just don't keel over and explode after eating the beloved McRib.

Ha! I'd love to hear Jorch say the word "tumorigenicity". It would come out "Turmurickity".

This thread has been nice and comfy for the past couple weeks.

Like one of Hoagie's bean bag chairs.

Well worth the effort.  The classic manchego and membrillo can't compare to a simple sharp cheddar on toast with homemade quince jelly -- nothing but fruit, sugar, and a vanilla bean for smoothness.

A proper sharp cheddar makes almost anything good. I've been hooked on a sharp cheddar from Oregon that I just can't not buy when I'm at the store.

    I wonder how many McRibs Tommee packs away in a frenzied consumption session.  He could probably wipe-out a location's complete allocation for a release.

LOL!  He probably calls the corporate office to get a head start on their release.

Ha! I'd love just to hear him say February.  It's always just "Feb."  He pronounced insect, "insek."

That reminds me of the time when I was growing up in Pittsburgh and you couldn't walk by a bakery or go in a grocery store without seeing apple pies with the top crust latticed with strips of cheddar cheese.   It was quite popular in the region.  To this day I've never tried it.

Oh!  I have heard of eating the pie with slices, but never baked in place!  Would love to see what you have seen.

I could see that being good, if not a bit odd. I love the regional foods of the US. I travel a fair amount and always make a point of trying out the local stuff.

I believe I've actually heard him call it "The Feb".

it will be the same show on repeat until a deal between fred and the grifting primadonna is reached.

Someone get a hold of Hoagland and tell him to put his show on UFOShip.com.  Won't charge him a dime.

It's Hoagland, he'd try to send you a bill for hosting his greatness.

I'm a big cheddar fan.  It really goes well with a number of proper adult beverages.

From Oregon?  Clue me in, SciFi.  Who is it?

he would also want his show broadcast in over 160 countries lol

Ha!  Hoagie will demand an MV-provided squeaking chair, too.

I laugh at the randomness of this thread.  I love it.

These folks. I spent part of my youth in that area of Oregon, so I may be biased. But I find their products quite tasty. Oregon has good pinot noirs too.

He hates us though.

He probably hates lots of people, but his show would be on the air, though... with far less bull crap to deal with.  Good for him, good for UFOship.

[Yorkshire pud]

No. He hates you. Not everyone is you. You get the memo?

Ah, yes!  It's readily available in my area.  I may have to pick some up for the next Knapp broadcast.  Speaking of cheddar with apple pie, I'll bet some sharp Tillamook would be most excellent with my coveted stash of Woodchuck Fall Harvest hard cider.

Thanks, SciFi.

Mmm, hard cider. I love Woodchuck's Granny Smith cider.

Much as I would love to see that, I think he'd interpret your role to include Skype support, USB tinkering (crucial!) and picking and playing the music he wants.  It'd be like helping my senile father do a show.

[ShayP]

Haha!  I don't think you received the memo sir.  He hates us even though most of his graphics on his Facebook page and website were created by certain BellGabbers.  The Club 19.5 was again a BellGabber.  He hates us because we supported Rossy and some ex-BellGabbers took the fight to twitter and other media sites.

True.  Hoagie is a fickle sort though.

If I had the money I would pay you to lose the avatar. LOL!

I do still have a clip from the old days where he said "Braaaps to Bellgab!!!!" for our mass consciousness experiment that cured his sinus headache.

Oh yes!  Prepare for the assault!  Plus Mad Martian would call you a penis. Think of the glory!
