Apparently, 1984 was a vintage year.

And over here, an animation of the burger eating record holder from the 15000 mark.

That is because of MeFi's new No Onion policy.

I'm impressed that this guy only weighs 180 lbs (at 6' 2") while eating nine Big Macs a day. Maybe McDonald's should take a page from Subway's playbook and turn this guy into the next Jared.

P.S. iceberg: HA!

Hey, McWetboy, call me a pervert ("pervert!") but does that onion look slightly...vaginal to you, too? I mean, in a Georgia O'Keefe kind of way?

(and Iceberg, once again, you are my hero)

i now wonder how many parts of a cow he's actually eaten given the new chicken-head in the mcchicken kind of recipe..

ColdChef: Yes, it does look vaginal.

Now, that's the ugliest vagina i've ever seen.

Um ... no ... not really ... [slowly edges towards the exit]

ColdChef, quit scaring the straights....

Students have figured Gorske has gone through 14.5 cows, 6.25 million sesame seeds, 1,900 whole pickles, 563 pounds of cheese and 100 gallons of special sauce.

The thought of that much special sauce in one place is mighty disturbing to me

McSpotlight shows why I hate McDonalds (other than the fact that it makes me sick).

Yeah, but at least it's easier to "find the right buttons"

I think they say that it takes about 7 years for nearly all the physical material your body is composed of to cycle through -- that is, 7 years from now, the matter now comprising your body will have been replaced by cells and fluids formed from matter you ingested in the past 7 years. (Why is that so hard to describe?)

So, anyway, I wonder what percentage of that guy is composed of Big Macs? I especially wonder how much of him is special sauce....

I dare say that if he'd invested the money in a mutual fund and made his own sandwiches at home he could be driving a Ferrari by now.

Ferrari...

15,000 Big Macs...

Ferrari...

Hmmm.

Any one remember the McDonald's song? That was a damn catchy tune, and in the spirit of true excess.

Yeah, cows, sauce, yeah yeah yeah, but how many acres of Amazonian rainforest have been torched so Lunchbox here could munch on his subpar near-beef? I WANT TO KNOW!

But surely Burger King's are nicer?

Started in 1972 with his first car so lets say he was 16 so that would make him 45 years old or just about prime for a cardiac arrest.

iceberg, you've achieved "#1 in the hood" status for that one.
