When driving through the Cheddar Curtain...The Il and WI border....you need to stop at the "Brat-Stop" for a schooner of Old Style and a killer brat.

I have tons of Packers garb, but I do not own a Cheesehead hat. I really love my Green Bay Packers hard hat, though. It deflects a flying beer can like nothing else I've found. :)

HAHAHA....the former Bishop of Green Bay and Packer fan, is now Cardinal Maida of Detroit. A friend of mine from Notre Dame worked with him and after the Packers won the Super Bowl in 1996, I sent Cardinal Maida a cheesehead, which he proudly wore in his offices in Detroit for a day. I have a great photo of him wearing the wedge of cheese.
The article is very accurate in describing people who wear the wedge as either fools or do it for laughs. Some wear it seriously and they are fools, the ones who do it for laughs get the joke.
Say what you will, we love our cheese here in the land of beer, brats and cheese and we hate the flatlanders from the south.

I cannot help but wonder if there is any correlation between the pejorative "Cheesehead" and that predecessor to spam and school cafeteria mystery meats; "Head Cheese".
A quick lookup rendered this definition, "Not a cheese at all, but a sausage made from the meaty bits of the head of a calf or pig (sometimes a sheep or cow) that are seasoned, combined with a gelatinous meat broth and cooked in a mold. When cool, the sausage is unmolded and thinly sliced. It`s usually eaten at room temperature.".
At the first look I have known some people whose brains were as functional as this substance. Their proclivity to wearing a cheese hat is unknown although Mr Dean's picture is suggestive.

Apparently Illinois residents had called us "cheeseheads" in the manner that some Wisconsin residents call Illinois people "flatlanders." >/I>Maybe that's what they call them down in Madtown...
