For the sake of girth

It’s actually an MST3000 reference. One of the bots sang it at Joe Don Baker in the Mitchell episode.

OMG! Not only are the inmates nuts, the keepers are crazy too. Where do you guys come up with this shit? As a newbie it’s really nice being able to put into words, what I’ve been thinking these past few months while I was lurking, it really is. BUT, I don’t think I am nearly OUT THERE sufficiently to compete with you guys.

I feel like I just walked in to the middle of a Marx Bros. movie

Maybe we should back off on the puns just a bit, if it’s starting to cheese off the newbies.

Feeling cheese doubt?

I am impressed by these bon mozz.

Cheese it! The newbies are looking!

¡Vaya con Queso!

That’s mighty Gouda you, Czarcasm.

CHEEZUS CHRIST!

Enough already.

Though all cheeses may lead back to the pasture, some so-called “cheese foods”, or (even worse) “cheez” lead to the less pastural parts of the pasture. Only those who have the “true and complete” cheese will get into the choicest part of the pasture, where the grass is greenest, the air is sweetest, and you can barely hear the interstate. However, those who eat soy cheese, and try to lure others from the one, true curd, will not be going to the pasture after their cheese sandwich has come to an end, but will end up at the Vince Lombardi rest area on the NJ turnpike, where it rains for all eternity, and the nearby refineries make the sky actually pulse with an eerie light.

That should be “I wish I was a cheesemaker.” (Be careful what you wish for.)

You* have to be nuts* to be a moderator here. It’s in the job description.

Well… he’s in a better place now. For everyone.

I thought (and this is going waaaaay back) that it should be “were”, as it is a contrary-to-fact statement, i.e., he’s not a cheesemaker.

Quite so, but I presume that Mentor and Liar was quoting the signature of the late Collounsbury, which had it the way I said. Several people, including me, pointed out to him that it should in fact be have been were, but he insisted that was was correct for the sense in which he meant it. However, I never recall seeing what the explanation for this might be. It could be correct if he wished he had been a cheesemaker in the past, rather that wishing he were a cheesemaker now.

The baby cheesus, surely?

Wait, you tried to correct Collounsbury about something? You got cheese between your ears or what? :wink:

Actually, this thread did remind me of our long-lost friend and his sig. But I didn’t recall his use of “was”, though it’s hardly surprising.

Wonder how he’s doing these days, poor chap…

That’s a touching statement of Gouda wheel.

He’s in Dubai, and has an ear infection.

Bummer. Though I’m sure he’s still informing and irritating in equally strong doses despite any maladies…

I’m quite sure Collounsbury could cut it as a cheesemaker, even though his true calling was obviously in the grating.

Tread caerphilly we do not speek directly of ch__se but of the Saint Agur.
