“That wheel of Parmigiano weighs 72 pounds.”

She is, of course, very fit.

Brie is French, not Italian.

But excellent, if you get the real thing.
Not always easy to do in the US.

The US broadcast version of the games stinks.

The actual competition is still very fine, if you find channels that carry it. Nadal vs Djokovic for instance.

Let's see, that translates approximately to:
"I like my men to be like good parmesan: strong and hard."
That about right?

Better ask Laz. We know he likes his women like his coffee.

[Steely Tom]

Right. She’s in peak shape for sure.

[DesertRhino]

I don’t understand this. But I completely support her.

[Rummyfan]

Marking.

[EQAndyBuzz]

“NOT GUILTY!”

What about the gymnast?

[butlerweave]

She’s lucky gymnast is not a contact sport

Brie is nothing like Parmesan,

I know. Mea Culpa. (You are Kinda sorta laughin’,) SOME cheeses, especially that very "special" cheese from Corsica, Casu Marzu, are truly "Horrible! Awful!" LOL! :-)

Back in my days of coaching women’s gymnastics, we would call that cheese wheel an ‘apparatus’. Not sure of that’s still the case.

[FreedomPoster]

I’ll take her, too!

[Demiurge2]

Winner of the day!

Thank you for another chuckle.

Recalling the more muscles to frown than smile story...

Can I count that as today’s workout?

[left that other site]

Absolutely! :-D
