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

"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."
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".
Good with any old cheese. The green one is especially good with Parmesan sprinkled on crackers. No velvetta please.
I don't like Spam!
It's fake Swedish alphabetic characters.
And while we're discussing fake alphabetic characters from Nordic locales:

A Møøse once bit my sister...
No realli! She was Karving her initials øn the møøse with the sharpened end of an interspace tøøthbrush given her by Svenge - her brother-in-law -an Oslo dentist and star of many Norwegian møvies: "The Høt Hands of an Oslo Dentist", "Fillings of Passion", "The Huge Mølars of Horst Nordfink"...
We apologise for the fault in the subtitles. Those responsible have been sacked.
Mynd you, møøse bites Kan be pretty nasti...
We apologise again for the fault in the subtitles. Those responsible for sacking the people who have just been sacked, have been sacked.

'nuff said.
You might say that "the Feta the country could depend on it."
