I'ma grab as many Farkettes as possible and get 'em there. I'm sure I can think of some creative things for them to do once we get there.

Are you going to eat that curb?
 
2004-06-29 04:54:34 PM
That couldn't have smelled too good.

My God. $1,250 worth of biodiesel fuel. That much grease would have taken me 19,000 miles. The humanity!

I dumped a bucket of used McDonalds grease on my foot once. I had to throw away the sneakers I was wearing (although the pants and sock were salvagable).
 
2004-06-29 05:22:30 PM
The grease is still probably better then teh damned McNuggets are anyways!

/slip-sliding away...
 
2004-06-29 05:23:06 PM
Used fast-food grease is not to be trifled with.

/always wanted to use "trifled" in a sentence
 
2004-06-29 05:23:52 PM
We all know who is really to blame....

 
2004-06-29 05:23:53 PM
The Florida chapter of the International Order of the Old Retired Italian Man is expected to sop up much of the grease.
 
2004-06-29 05:24:18 PM
used grease is disgusting. it's like french frie slurry.
 
2004-06-29 05:24:25 PM
The drive-thru stayed open?

Do you think they let people know before they pulled into the lot?

Manager: "There's 500 gallons of grease on the asphalt, ma'am, but our drive-thru's open."

300 lb. housewife: "Oh. Do you need help licking, I mean, cleaning that up?"
 
2004-06-29 05:24:30 PM

You could fry an egg on the sidewalk.
 
2004-06-29 05:25:40 PM
It's so hot out, you could deep-fry an egg on the pavement!

Nothing to see here, folks. Move along.

2004-06-29 05:41:19 PM
somewhere...there's an old southern lady biatching that somebody spilled all her grease and now what's she gonna fry the porkchops in?
 
2004-06-29 05:42:16 PM
Lame-ass headline.

So many better possibilities but I'm just too damn busy to indulge.
 
2004-06-29 05:45:54 PM
The used grease is stored on-site and often sold to rendering plants at a couple cents a pound. The rendering companies send tanker trucks around to the fast food restaurants and pump out the grease. Then at the rendering plant they mix the grease with all other unmentionable animal parts that slaughterhouses and restaurants throw out and grind it up. The resulting product is used as a major ingredient in pet and animal feeds. Mmm mmm good.
 
2004-06-29 05:48:13 PM
Thats going to take an industrial sized bottle of Dawn to clean up.

"Lame-ass headline.

Okay...so it wasn't one of my best, but it finally ended my long submission-drought. I've had so many headlines that either missed the cut, or I got the ol' "Holy jumping Jesus" bit. My drought is over...let good headlines reign!
 
2004-06-29 05:53:26 PM
Screw you poster. They are great.
 
2004-06-29 05:58:53 PM
Being West Melbourne, would anybody notice?

Must be Maddox(@xmission.com). He's a pirate. As a matter of fact, I wonder if he's the submitter....
 
2004-06-29 06:26:23 PM
Uuuuuhhhh!!! So grease!
 
2004-06-29 07:06:17 PM
People: Seriously -

Why the Fark were the firemen called to clean up this?

McDonalds hires a McWorker with no McTraining who making a McFarking mistake, and the joe tax payer foots the clean up bill? The grease wasn't on fire - at least I didn't read that.

I work in this field, worked in FloriDUH (not any more) and know that there are a lot of environmental companies that could clean this up in no time. Oh they cost money. My bad.

FARK McDonalds!

Now we just need some liquid soduim hydroxide spilled on this and let the magic of chemistry create a parking lot full of good old fashioned soap.

/That ought to be easy to clean up
 
2004-06-29 11:42:47 PM
They must use vegetable oil at mcdonald's and not shrotening.
If they used shortening they wouldn't have this problem.

/works in kitchen that uses shortening in friers
//words of wisdom; never ever mix water and hot (liquid) fry shortening.

One of the funniest headlines...ever. Nice job submitter!
 
2004-06-30 12:13:17 AM
I smell a new sport.

We shall call it Foxy McBox.

2 Chicks wail on each other in a pool of grease.
Delicious. The loser is Deep Fried.
The Winner is served with fries and a coke.
 
2004-06-30 12:16:57 AM
Then we can have the Super Sized edition.

same deal, only this time we use 300lbs chicks.
Hey, we could have Martha Stewart Headline this.

I work at a fast food joint (Harvey's, only in Canada) and have to filter and change oil in our deepfryers. I keep saying that one of these days, I'm going to steal some of it, and dump it across the parking lot at night. Then throw a match and run for my life.
Would be quite a show...
