Oh yeah, that's the stuff.

The McRib, everyone’s favorite McDonald’s sandwich and a personal favorite, is one of those rare treats that’s worth going out of your way to get.  It’s a part-time menu item at McDonald’s, meaning it’s not available everywhere all the time.  Individual franchisees choose when they’re going to roll out the McRib, and it’s rarely available across the entire country at once.  Well, this is one of those rare times.  McDonald’s has released the McRib nationally, and you’ve got until November 14 to get your hands on that delicious, ribby goodness.

“We’ve been spoiled this year and last year with it being around nationwide,” he said. “But I hope it stays elusive because otherwise nobody will come to our website,” said Alan Klein, the creator of the McRib Locator website.  Launched in 2008, McRib Locator allows McRib fans to find the closest McDonald’s franchise selling McRibs, and it’s the greatest website not named PopFi.

McRib was previously released nationwide last year, but before that?  You have to go back to 1994 to find the last time McDonald’s made the McRib available everywhere.  There’s only one place on Earth you can get the McRib year-round, and that’s Germany.  Germany has all the luck, apparently.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
