Do we even need to use Rosie's name as part of a joke? If someone started a thread with only the words Rosie O'Donnel, would people still laugh? And really, I haven't been drinking.

Previous thread. Don't ask me how I remembered this one from 2 years ago. Here is what I posted in that thread:

Here you are boys:

- Ronald McDonald, a clown who frequents McDonald's apparantly quite often, and loves kids. McDonald's also has characters associated with its various products.

- Mayor McCheese, the Mayor of McDonaldland, has a head shaped like a cheeseburger.

- Big Mac, a policeman character, has a head shaped like a Big Mac sandwich.

- grimace, a purple, endearing blob character, loves McDonald's milkshakes. According to the "Straight Dope" syndicated column, who quote McDonalds spokeswoman Jane Hulbert, grimace is a "big fuzzy purple fellow...[who] personifies the child in everyone...He is Ronald's special pal. Everyone loves grimace because of his innocent loving nature. He occasionally causes trouble in McDonaldland because he is clumsy, but his friends overlook this because he is so happy." grimace is not related to Barney! grimace was originally called the Evil grimace. He had a penchant for stealing milkshakes from small children, was fuzzier and had six arms. Consider the definition of grimace: "A sharp contortion of the face expressive of pain, contempt, or disgust". (from The American Heritage Dictionary).

- Uncle O'Grimacey was introduced in the 1970's. He is grimace's Irish uncle, although grimace's heritage has never been fully explored. He was used to pitch the delicious Shamrock Shake.

- The Professor is a mad-scientist type character in a lab coat. He was introduced in 1971.

- Fry Guys, little mophead-like things, were originally called Goblins, but an ad campaign in the '70's changed that. They love McDonald's fries, as do their counterparts, Fry Gals.

- Captain Crook is the hero of the Filet-O-Fish sandwich.

- Birdie the Early Bird was introduced when breakfast began being served at McDonald's.

- Hamburglar is the villian who steals hamburgers from McDonald's (but, can you blame him?).

- CosMc is an alien character.

- Mac Tonight, a character who had a head shaped like the moon and a theme song to the tune of "Mack the Knife".

- "Speedee", the first McDonald's character, was used in the 1950's. He was a hamburger-shaped character with a perpetual wink and a sign saying "15 cents", the cost of the original burgers. Speedee was seen on the wrappers for the Daily Double sandwich used a couple years ago.

- Iam Hungry, so-called "VP of Snacking", has recently hit the scene. A computer-animated fuzzy beast, he looks a lot like "Animal" from the Muppet Show. Lacking the creativity of a Mayor McCheese or the cult following of grimace, this guy will likely end up like CosMc -- gone.


Pay close attention to that in the BOLD type. Found this on the internet. Enjoy!!

Thirty-something posts and no one got it right.

Grimace is a tastebud.

Seriously - that's what he was meant to be.
