There's only one real way to tell them apart.

Subvertive quoting.

""I feel badly about what I've done with young people," says..." "...Ronald. "I was the happy face on something that was horrendous.""

"...Ronald, pleaded guilty in 1998 to a charge of carrying a concealed weapon in New Hanover County, N.C., and the next year was convicted in county court of making harassing phone calls..." "The judge ordered him to take anger-management classes."

(I hear Ronald, kills the cows, personally.)

People often ask me, does Ronald McDonald have a girlfriend? The answer is of course, yes.

Well, really it's more of a mountain range. In fact, the harsh consonant sound of the Basque language derives from the the horrific screaching sound of Ronald's gargantuan thighs chafing as he copulates with the Pyrenees.

You know, he sleeps on a bed of gorillas? The ones near the top are even alive.

Maybe he'll even perform his new dance "Do the Ronald."

This line makes me laugh realizing the shake machine was the bases of McDonalds franchises, not its clown, like I thought as a kid...now you have to shak'em, Ronald.

Of interest, The Mr. Peanut Chronicles, an old but still informative and even amusing article about image management. Ronald and several other well recognized characters come into play here. There is also a partner article, The Inner Doughboy.

What's that about Santa? You are not insinuating that there is more than one Santa as well, are you?

Sure, there's been dozens of Ronald McD's... and in each case,
I don't need to tell you how they disposed of the body.

In Japan his name is Donald.

I always though Ronald McDonald in Japan was Magu Donoro, or Shokufu Magu Donoro, or something like that.

I remember reading an interview with Den Fujita where he was talking about "Uncle McDonald" in Japan.
