Terrifying legions of pot-bellyed, beer-swilling snowmobilers are going to descend on the World from the North (South for Canadians), armed with Cheese Lasers! (http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=817&ncid=757&e=10&u=/ap/20040113/ap_on_fe_st/cheese_lasers)

Only one group of heroes can save us, and Disney won't re-release Chip N Dale's Rescue Rangers!

We're doomed! :eek:

Back the F*** up, Illinois. There's a new sheriff in town.

Yeah, like our neighbors to the north have even needed a laser to cut the cheese...

As a UW-Madison alum who is terribly homesick, let me be the first to say God Bless Wisconsin!

Heh. I guess the cheesemakers really will inherit the earth.

On Wisconsin!
On Wisconsin!
Grand old 1920's Stlye Cheese Death Ray State!

Having grown up in WI, I was glad to see that the cheese was cut into little Bucky shapes.

"At any other university, people would have just laughed. But this is Wisconsin. It's cheese. And this is no laughing matter," said Xiaochun Li, a mechanical engineering professor and laser expert.

Won't somebody PLEASE think of the children?! :eek:

Back when I went to school in a small Wisconsin town, there was a factory nearby which made cheese flavorings.

When the wind was just right, a phenomenon known as "Cheeze Breeze" would happen. Imagine rotten cheetos mixed with stockyard. It was enough to

Why? Are the children made of Cheese?
You have to capitalize the word "Cheese"--Wisconsin State law.

We UW alums know that we already had a badger song! "If you want to be a Badger, just come along with me, by the bright shining light of the moon..."

I went to the Badger Girls basketball game (seats on the floor!) Tuesday night with my grandma, and now all I can think of is Bucky leading a lady badger by the hand, while singing "By the Light of the Silvery Moon." (Not necessarily because my grandma looks like a badger.)

And there's nothing like watching your 68-year old, five foot nothing grandmother enthusiastically booing the horrible call in the second half, which gave one of the Gebisa sisters (I think) a personal foul, though it was pretty clear the Illini was at fault.

All I wanted was sharks with frickin' cheese-slicing laser beams on their heads!

Leafrog, I think you and I went to the same school. About an hour south of Madison, right on the border? What year did you graduate? Where are you now?

I must forward this thread to my husband. He grew up in Wisconsin, and he's a mechanical engineer who works with UV lasers, but I doubt that he would ever have thought of this particular application. He's going to start thinking that he chose the wrong school after all...

...but, if you hadn't come to Minnesota, you'd never have met me. Remember that. ;)

Hey, Punkyova, we were at good old Belwah at the same time, though I was two years younger than you. I didn't graduate from there, just spent my freshman and sophmore years there ('85-'87). I'm in the Seattle area now...there are a few things I miss about Beloit, especially the yearly trivia contest and swimming in the flooded streets each fall. That's about it, though!

Not only did I live in WI for awhile, but I actually worked in the AMPI (we called it ARMPIT) cheese factory for awhile. (jobs are very scarce *sob*)

But....now I am moving back. Going to Milwaukee this time. Next week.

wheeee

Actually, laser cheese-cutters are a good idea.

If the cheese is cut with a laser beam, it means there's nothing physically touching the cheese that can get cross-contaminated. No cross-contamination means less food poisoning from bad cheese.

And if mounted in an Armored Orbiting Space Station, it can devastate whole continents!

BWA-HA-HA-HA!

I sure wish Bosda was a super-villain. Whole continents devastated by cheese rays? SPECTRE's Office of Deviousness can't come up with something like that.
