Graters are the single most dangerous kitchen implement.
I find I'm safer with the microplane,
Go microplane. Microplane is your friend.

Marco: Do we look reasonable to you? Mal: Well. Looks can be deceiving. Jayne: Not as deceiving as a low down dirty... deceiver.

If I only had a brain...
I've microplaned my fingers too. Smaller, daintier cuts. Anyway, microplanes are no good for coarse grating, such as you need for pimiento cheese.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
microplanes are no good for coarse grating, such as you need for pimiento cheese.
That's why you let other people do the work for you. Back in the day, I'd have a friend over, make him grate, and then feed him as recompense.
Now I just buy grated.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Reminds me of Mitch Hedberg:
I have a cheese-shredder at home, which is its positive name. They don't call it by its negative name, which is sponge-ruiner.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
That's why you let other people do the work for you.I used to do this all of the time.
Now I just buy grated.Now I do this.
I can also use the food processor but there is still sharpness involved and sharpness leads to bleeding even when I am being very very careful.
Right now I have a finger with a mystery notch out of it and I have no idea how it got there. The only grated cheese in my recent past has been handed to me at the taco shop window which makes it much safer. For my fingers if not my arteries.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I got a rock!
Is it a big rock? Did you tell all your friends?
All this painful hand-grating talk reminds me why I'm a heathen and buy pre-shredded cheese.

All this time, I thought Hunter was a bitch. Turns out she was just hungry.
I've never met anyone at a fan event who has babbled except in charming, ego-boosting fashion. And never do they strike one as idiots. Ever.
But then he's never met me. (signed) Ned Seagoon

"Don' be e-scared"
Hey, I'm writing a whole movie about throwing rocks! And I pray it gets made and that it's as unpopular around here as "Serenity." Which, by the way, I went and saw again last night at a regular theater and there were no people in Glendale with knit caps singing the Ballad Of Jayne.

"Don' be e-scared"
I mean, there were people in knit caps. But they were just shooting each other.

With rocks? Or skittles? There were a lot of free range skittles (or maybe m&ms. But they sounded bouncier) at my theater.
Milk duds would cause greater injury (or insult) than junior mints, I think.
