We had the McRib burger here in Australia several years ago as a promotional burger.  It would have stayed for a few months.  I think its made a few appearances  since then.
-
Same story here in the states, coops.  We can only hope the great McDonald's will one day see the error of their ways and return the McRib to its rightful status as a permanent menu item.  - RibMaster

I loved your site, Ribmaster.  What do you do to satisfy the urge for McRibs when they're not around?
-
Good question, blkvette79.  Nothing can compare to the great McRib.  But I do have a suggestion that can help withdrawal when the McRib's not "in season".  See the McRibWatch Page.  - RibMaster

Hey, does anyone remember when the McRib first came out, and you could get some kind of hot sauce?
-
Quite a memory, enuffznuff!  I do recall this and I was sorry that it never returned with any of the McRib's reappearances.  There was nothing like putting 4-6 packets of sauce on the sandwich and then enjoying the McRib while your nose ran and your eyes watered.  Does anyone remember the name of this elusive sauce?  - RibMaster

I heard the McRib is now available in Indiana.  Put on your travelin' shoes and get a move on, sonny!
-
Good Lord!  Those lucky Hoosiers!
Anyone in Indiana want to mail me some on a daily basis?  A squashed, stale, McRib is better than none at all.

Was always a big fan of the McRib, especially when I had severe
munchies. But get rid of those damn pickles.

Mcribs are now back on the menu at McD's here in St. Joseph and in the Kansas City Metro.  News reports here indicate they'll be around until pork prices go back up..
-
The Mc Rib made the news?  Let's all get together and pray those pork prices stay down!

When I visit your URL, a banner rudely flashes the message "my
internet connection is not optimized", when indeed it I =know= it is.
I resent any sweeping ad which does not know what it is talking about.
I click on the banner, then click on "download" on the next page, then
I see a damned credit-card form.

To hell with that noise!

What can I say? The price I pay for having a free server space is those ads at the top of the page.  And you're right, they are RUDE!  I long for the day when advertisements will start being more polite.  Until then, any ass can recognize a banner ad from the content of the page she or he is visiting.

Possibly the funniest web site I have ever seen, and certainly THE best sandwich I have ever tasted. Who needs lobster when we can get a McRib  sandwich?
-
Lobster? They serve lobster at McDonald's now? 
Oh, I see. 
You mean you've actually been somewhere else to eat?!?

Hey Ribmaster!
  With my traveling job working for the Great State of Illinois, I knew I was in a unique position to find out what area McDonald's carry the McRib, and all on Taxpayers time! Here is an availability sighting as of 3/5/99:

Toronto Road Springfield McDonald's
(I-55 exit #90.  Just follow the Golden Arches right at the exit on the way to U. of I./Springfield.)
 You can get the McRib Value meal (as I did) for only $2.99!

O.K.!  I've calculated that the price from where I live in Chicagoland, IL including gas and the 8 hour round-trip travel time would be about $40-$60 per McRib.
Sounds like a bargain!

I have a friend who worked for corporate McDonalds. One of his friends
decided to discharge his nostril into a vat of McRib sauce. Mc Mucus? I
don't think so.

I was eating a McRib sandwich at my former place of business and was
asked by a neurosurgeon of an employee, "Did they bring back the McRib
Sandwich?" Mind you, I was holding the sandwich which was wrapped in a
McDonalds wrapper. What do you think?!
-

Wow. Those are the funniest Mc Rib related stories I've heard yet. 
What I think is that the neurosurgeon was such a fan of the McRib that he simply couldn't believe his eyes!
Thanks!

 Hi RibMaster!

I'm also completly CRAZY about The McRib Burger!
I live only 500 meters from a McDonald's, but unfortunatly in Denmark :-(
McDonald's in Denmark don't carry the McRib, only all the other lousy McDonald's
pruducts
(except Chicken McNuggets and The World's best Coke "Coca Cola")

But fortunatly Denmark's is only max 4 hours drive from Germany,
where the McRib is a permanent item on the menu :-)

Every time we are on a shopping trip to Germany, we to get some McRibs!

We are going to Germany tomorrow, and I'll be thinking of you, when I put my teeth
in the McRib!

A friend told me, today, that the McRib was on the menu in United Kingdom!

I like your page and the idea very much, and got inspired to also make an Tribute
to the McRib on my page!

Thanks so much.
I love your web page and envy your proximity to the world's greatest sandwich!
I'm glad this humble site is bringing together McRib Lovers from all over our world.
God bless those Germans for keeping the Mc Rib on the menu!

A Man and His McRib
While searching the web researching for this site, I can across a story that any McRib lover can relate to.  It regards a man's quest for a McRib and it come from the journal of Scott Berks.  I contacted him and received permission to reprint here:

April 27

Boy, it sure was cold out there today. It felt like it was October out there, not April. It felt like the tree's should have been dropping their leaves, not sprouting them. 

I got up today and drove into the city for my last day of classes. Boy oh boy were they interesting. Letme tell you. We had 4, count them, 4 people come to class today in Math. Now we have a week off ofclasses to "study" for finals. Everyone just goes out and parties, it's usually the best time of the yearout there. 

I for one have to write a couple of papers, and study for a Math final. 

Joy. 

I saw on the TV that the Mcrib is back for a limited time. Damn them, make it a normal sandwich already. I love the Mcrib. I go nutso for the Mcrib. Of course, my check still has not gone through with the bank, so I have zero cash on me. So, in desperate need for a Mcrib, I did the only thing I could do. I broke into the laundry quarters and went and splurged. 

I felt such shame, but boy that Mcrib is good. 

Why they have that for just a limited time is beyond me. I will never forget the last time they had them out, I went to the drive through and said to the nice man, "One Mcrib sir". 

"Ah, we are no longer carrying the Mcrib".

Wha? 

I was in hell. My Mcrib was taken away without warning. I had no time to savor my last Mcrib until
the next time we would meet. I wanted one last chance to cry to it, tell it just how much I loved, and
would miss it. Tell it we would see each other again soon. 

Damn them! 

Viva la Mcrib!
