You can use cheese to draw off the moose... As we all know, moose bites can be very painful... A moose bit my sister once...

After a night of particularly stupid one-line vanity posts (and a fair number of beers) I started responding to these posts with the most ridiculous and nonsensical thing I could think of. That happened to be the phrase "I like cheese". It wasn't intended to have any meaning other than "this is ridiculous".

Apparently it caught on... (along with AppyPappy's "a moose bit my sister" response)

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."

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".

I just finished eating, now I feel all bloated and cheese-like.

"Must like cheese" = rat = DemocRAT.

Hey, Boudreaux!:

Looks like you got a few sincere responses, huh?:

It's like this Boudreaux... You better get a beer, this might take a bit.
Silly or strange vanity threads generally bring up a discussion of various cheeses. (Cheddar, gouda, Bleu, swiss). The stranger the thread, the more silly it gets. You might see a reference to someone's sister being bit by a moose. The moose and the sister are ok. You would need to do a search to find the reference.

You might know that your posting is not being taken seriously if someone posts that they like cheese.

GRIN!

If someone is whining too much, you say to them "Do you want some cheese with your wine?" So the cheese reference just means they are a whiner. Now I'll be banned for telling you this.

Groan! You had to ask!
It seems to be a new and hopefully short-lived tradition that any use of the word cheese, or moose, or mention of someones bases belonging to somebody else is simply an excuse for the liberal use of bad jokes and puns.

Inevitably, someone will mention bases belonging to somebody else, there will be a "joke" about cutting cheese and Lazmataz will mention that his sister once bit a moose, or was it that a moose bit his sister?

Laz, how do you do those cool fake Finnish alphabetic characters?

I think Steve0113 came closest to a straight answer. (#58)
Usually you will see the cheese comments in response to posts that sound like whinning, in someones opinion, to which a frequent response is, "what kind of cheese would you like with that whine?"

Basically, its a cheap pun carried to extremes. But, it's evidently fun, and you'll notice more cheese later in the evening, for reasons you can probably guess.
