Grimace Appreciation Thread

[Dr. Strange]

I think we can all agree that the one McDonald's character that doesn't really get enough love is "The Grimace." Come, share your appreciation for The Grimace. Post a favorite pic of The Grimace. Or share a nice story which involves The Grimace.

5. The million dollar question

My google search took me here, but all it did was raise more questions...

http://www.angelfire.com/mo/jogrimace/

After drinking too many milkshakes, most people probably would resemble Grimace. But where was he from? And what were his thoughts, dreams, and secrets? If he was evil, why did he change and what provoked the change? What was the catalyst for change from leading a life of crime to a benign, steroid-inflated pre-Barney lookalike?

:shrug:

A steroid-inflated pre-Barney lookalike is as good an answer as any, right?

[LeftyFingerPop]

9. Slow? As in mentally slow you mean? Surely that's not what you meant.

[CreekDog]

31. 2 Big Macs then?

I believe there's a special on them on Thursday.

[Dr. Strange]

10. He weighs 900 pounds.

How fast can he be?

[CreekDog]

12. ever run from a bear?

he can go fast, he just chooses not to.

[Fleshdancer]

13. he's a well-meaning simpleton!

Thats what wikipedia tells me: "Commercials and merchandise generally portray Grimace as a well-meaning simpleton whose clumsy antics provide a comic foil to Ronald McDonald."

I also learned that Grimace has an Irish uncle: Uncle O'Grimacey. I don't know if he was a simpleton though.

[CreekDog]

14. plot against the Irish

well doesn't that figure!

:rant:

[Fleshdancer]

15. the Irish part of me is really offended

but the English side of me is laughing hysterically.

[Dr. Strange]

16. What about the purple side?

[Fleshdancer]

17. that's my slow side. It doesn't know how it feels yet.

It'll have to get back to you in a few days.

[flvegan]

18. At least that side is always smiling.

[CreekDog]

20. are you calling your side "slow" as in...

:rofl:

[Fleshdancer]

21. you caught me!

:rofl:

[CreekDog]

24. Well that makes me very, very angry

and don't think DU won't hear about it later! :D
