Man eats 23,000 Big Macs in 36 years

FOND DU LAC, Wisconsin (AP) -- Talk about a Big Mac attack! Don Gorske
says he has eaten 23,000 of the burgers in 36 years.

The Fond du Lac man said he hit the 23,000 milestone last month,
continuing a culinary obsession that began May 17, 1972, and is fed by
his obsessive-compulsive disorder.

"I enjoy them every day," said Gorske, 54. "I need two to fill me up."

Gorske has kept every burger receipt in a box. He says he was always
fascinated with numbers, and watching McDonald's track its number of
customers motivated him to track his own consumption.

Despite a diet some would call unhealthy, Gorske says he keeps himself
in good shape. He says he's 6-foot-2 and weighs 185 pounds, and walks as
many as 10 miles a day.

He used to order fries every day in the 1980s but began to cut back in
the '90s, now eating them about once a month. He eats two Big Macs and
two parfaits a day. Gorske has written a book about his experience.

"Sometimes people call me a freak but it doesn't bother me. I just say
respect people as they are," he told The Associated Press. "I just want
to make sure people understand I'm not going to change."

He can instantly recall the eight days in which he failed to satisfy his
craving. One was in 1988, the day his mother died, to respect a request
she made.

"I made a promise to her and I always keep my promises," he said. "I
also promised her I wouldn't cut my hair and in 20 years I haven't."

He twice failed to attack a Big Mac because of his job. A
correctional-institution employee, he said a number of work emergencies
kept him on the clock past midnight so he recorded those days as missed
days.

Three other times he was traveling and couldn't find a McDonald's. He
also went Big Mac-less on Thanksgiving Day 2000, and during a 1982
snowstorm that prevented the local McDonald's franchise from opening.

"That's when I started a habit where I kept them in the freezer," he
said. He keeps one or two burgers on hand but increases his inventory to
four to five during the winter.

Regarding Lucas & Ruth impending overseas trip to KL to get married.
Of course they will have to keep it quiet so Lucas can continue to
recieve Govenment benefits. Ruth works full time & Lucas is on
Australian CentreLink benefits. She lives upstairs to maintain an
appearance of living apart. Of course Lucas said he won trip on
internet but Centrelink will need proof that tax payers are not
contributing to an unemployed man holdaying overseas.

Eh?

I'm not the only one who is doing it (and yet it's *on-topic*) so why
are you complaining?
