I haven't eaten one of those things since the 80s.
It was the 90s for me.

Once they came out with the Quarter Pounder (it went nationwide in 1973), I was pretty much done with Big Macs.

If I'm wrong, I don't want to be right, but the quarter pounder cheeseburger was always the superior burger to me.

The guy was a guard at Wisconsin's version of Angola. I lol'd at his comment about sneaking shite in. It is not that hard to get something into Lucas Oil.

Gorske describes himself as obsessive-compulsive, saying he documents “so much useless information. It’s just part of my being. I keep track of dates I’ve done stuff.” He keeps track of NFL games he’s gone to, places he’s gone out to eat besides McDonald’s (where he usually has a BLT or a fish sandwich), and when he’s gone to certain stores. A lot of this information can be found in his Big Mac room. “You can go anywhere around in here and you can find stupid charts,” he says. “Who keeps track of that stuff? But I do…It doesn’t hurt me, but it keeps me busy too.”


He should get diagnosed and help. This is a mental illness, not an accomplishment.

It’s like writing an article about someone who has turned the same light switch on and off 1 million times.

Ed Gein and Steven Avery probably the two most notorious to have passed through there

He could have chosen to eat apples or bananas?

35,000 bananas not interesting enough?

Guess not.

I’m pretty sure it’s “ay-pples and banay-nays" or "ee-pples and benee-nees”.
(That’s the latest and only jam in our car since granddaughter born.)

He likely has been diagnosed, but I imagine that this obsession has not seriously affected the rest of his life - he still has a wife, amazingly - so I'm not sure what kind of treatment could be or should be done.

Weird baw likes to slam Big Macs and gets articles written about him for several decades.

How many of us have had 35,000 beers in their lifetimes?

First time having one in a couple years. It was actually good and put together properly, no big mac sauce falling out the side or anything like that. It also seemed bigger than it used to be.


They redid the recipe a couple of years back.

Switched to a toasted brioche bun, the cheese is stored before use at room temp to help melting, onions are added on the grill, and they cook them in smaller batches so they get a better sear.

Steven Avery yes, Ed Gein no. Gein never went to prison. He loved the rest of his life in a mental hospital.

John Schrank who shot Teddy Roosevelt was at Waupun and so was or is Chris Watts.
