    Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

    I've never had one either. But there are websites just for McRib sightings. Apparently they are limited to two weeks at a particating location. The locations will very. At times there maybe only one location offering them witin several hundred miles. For this reason there is very little group or national advertising and thus the reason for websites devoted to the McRib. People will drive 200 miles to get one. It's very cult like...............M3

    Send all unwanted McRib sandwiches to my big puppy Alabama. She will eat them in between naps, MJ

    Would rather own a 500 oz _Poured bar..

    These milled bars are boring..

    Parts are parts. Only question is "which parts are in your sandwich"

    As for the 500 ouncer, I'd rather have mine in pieces, 1 oz. ASEs to be exact.

    I had a McRib sandwich last Monday and another yesterday. It's the culinary equivalent of a defaced gold coin. Not something you really prefer, but it is gold and I'm tired of In-N-Out. Here's the McRib locator.

    It is funny that I had my first McRib ever last week after reading about it in the US Coin Forum!
    Good but I prefer the ribs I eat at home in Tuscany!

    Back to PM. Cool monolith!

    That size is not practical for most people. Just way to heavy.

    I agree but it's better than a 1,000 oz'er!

    For fast food? Yup.

    Now when in some parts of Asia, there's a Japanese owned "fast food" place that makes GREAT shrimp sandwiches. Now that's good. image
