cheese is not the answer
last night (like most nights) i awoke at around 4am and struggled to quiet my mind and fall back to sleep. in my half-awake half-asleep delirium a sentence popped into my head. i did not want to turn on the light to write it down, so i repeated it over and over to myself (knowing i would forget it by morning, but trying not to). here is my vague recollection of that dreamy, delirous sentence.
you don't need cheese to have a good time.
really, the sentence was more articulate and poetic than that, but you get the gist of it.
i remember thinking to myself at that time just how true that sentence is.

I would like to state for the record that I have NEVER, not even ONCE, had a good time without cheese.
I had a similar experience once while I was fully awake. I was cleaning out my closet and throwing away a bunch of old cardboard boxes, when this popped unbidden into my head:
"That seems like a lot of cardboard to eat, I don't care what the Cardboard Council says."
As if there were a Cardboard Council, and like the Dairy Council is always encouraging us to drink milk, the Cardboard Council was encouraging us to eat cardboard. Preposterous!
Now that I think about it, Cardboard Council would be a good name for an indie rock band. They could sell pins and stickers with the slogan "Eat More Cardboard." Of course, it would work equally well as the title of a web comic. Hmmm...
dr. j: your comment just shows that you have a high rate of coincidence of cheese and good-time-having. the data does not prove there is a causal relationship between the two. i stand by my assertion: you don't need cheese to have a good time.
nick baker: i wouldn't have much to offer as an indie rock band member, but i'd love to be a character in your web comic.
hmm....I think I MAY be able to have a good time without cheese, but really, things are just that much BETTER when there is cheese around - surely you must agree, jammies? For instance, what is a cheese sanwich without the cheese? Or a quesadilla? Or STRING cheese?Or cheesecake (bleh, that one could do w/o the cheese. oh wait...crap! that doesn't help my case!) Or a taco? Or nachos? crackers? Or, or, or.....what is a day without cheese? I doubt I could make it through w/o it...I have never been courageous (or stupid) enough to try. Face it, cheese represents all that is just and fair and delicious in this world. Cheese = happiness. I rest my case.
Ahh....the power of cheese. (See, these commercial ad people understand. And don't try and tell me they're just saying that to make people eat cheese & make lots of money....it simply isn't true with cheese.)
Cheese....it's a beautiful thing.
(That should be their new slogan, courtesy of me!)
:)
Time to go eat MY cheese, which by the way is NACHO cheese!
ms. cheesy-you are right! dr. j-i apologize for discounting your cheese experiences as mere coincidence. nick baker-i still want to be in your web comic.
i'll leave you all with this thought:
what's a cardboard box without the cardboard?
It's a cardboard kind of week. Dr. M. and I were in the car, coming home from Sunday brunch, trying to add to this list. My favorite was Sexy Cardboard Industry Spokesperson. I laughed for a long time at that one.
you laughed for a good long time, eh? and there wasn't cheese involved!!!! (unless you had cheese with your brunch which, knowing you, i assume you did. cheese-lover!)
as a recovering vegan, i can verify, you do not need cheese to have a good time. as a lactose intolerant person, i can also assert, cheese may lead to bad times.
finally, a cardboard box, without the cardboard, is a lot more delicious.
thank you, joey, for these enlightened words.
three cheers for joey!
