Please explain "CHEESE" to me.

Ok,

As a relatively new Freeper, I haven't a clue to what CHEESE means.... yes, I know the stuff a person can eat. But there are the "Must like cheese" statements and the like. I did a search and there was no good explanation that I could find. Anyone caring to explain on this vanity post, please enlighten a new freeper.

Regards

Bump du fromage!

Morbier! (Or is it Mon Bier?) Will this thread ever end?

Interesting, Boudreaux. The cheese phenomenon hit me my very first day as a freeper, when I had barely begun to lurk. Others have better explanations for why it exists, but one thing is for sure: cheese helps blow off steam. Or should I say, it clears the air like a healthy brie-ze.

(sorry)

Apologies for my fellow FReepers, who for 300 some odd replies can't brie themselves to answer your simple question, and behave in direct violation of the rules of this forum, which, as the proprietor himself informs us, is neufchatel room. Here's the answer:

"Cheese is nutritious food made mostly from the milk of cows but also other mammals, including sheep, goats, buffalo, reindeer, camels and yaks. Around 4000 years ago people have started to breed animals and process their milk. That's when the cheese was born."

Edwin Meese? Who's talking about Edwin Meese? I thought we were talking about William Colby, former CIA director.

One glorious day last year as I was cruising to the cheese factory, the morning shew was doing a gag.

A listener would call in on their cellular wiz-bang and volunteer to partake in whatever stunt the gang would concoct in order to win the cheezy prize.

The brilliant morning talk-a-holics devised a devious plan. This morning's chump would have to drive into the local gourmet establishment and receive foodstuff, any foodstuff, while limited to three words to receive it. Those words were "I like cheese".

Imagine working at the speaker, then window of this fine food establishment. When unable to decipher the patrons wishes, they told him to "please, drive up to the window", where the three words were spoken numerous times, with varying inflection, and I can imagine varied hand jestures in hopes of "winning" the daily prize. Very few times in my life have I gotten so close to relieve myself in my cheese factory uniform.

I'm not sure if it was the first time this phrase was used, and I don't believe it was. But, I was very late, and in high spirits, when I finally arrived at the cheese factory that morning, and found myself looking on FR for the thread that deserved this famous (now?) phrase.

I personally use the phrase as a synonym for "My cat's name is Fluffy".

Colby bit a Moose??????? Or Colby bit the moose's sister???? OR....Colby bit Ed Meese's sister???? I am SO confused! This whole thread is a muenster!

[Revolting cat!]

Ed Meese's sister, it has been my understanding, bit into a chunk of Colby. Now, what is so earth shattering about that?

[mc5cents]

Good with any old cheese. The green one is especially good with Parmesan sprinkled on crackers. No velvetta please.

CHEESE tastes better than SPAM.

I don't like Spam!

It's fake Swedish alphabetic characters.

And while we're discussing fake alphabetic characters from Nordic locales:

"Must like cheese" = rat = DemocRAT.
