You lit the fire, but there is an older thread where you got the match...;-)
I have enjoyed watching the cheese spread, but will now offer the point of origin as I remember it:
There was a heated and intriguing discussion going on between several FR intellectual heavyweights that had me scrambling for my dictionary.
The lost feeling I had reminded me of an old Letterman show where Billy Crystal was imitating Trevor Berbick (or Larry Holmes, one of those punch drunk old fighters).
Letterman asked him a boxing question and Crystal replied in a dumb voice with the non-sequiter 'I like eggs'.
My only post in the thread was to 'all' and it was 'I like cheese'.
