I wikipediaed Velveeta and then linked through to "processed cheese" and then "government cheese."
Government cheese was SO GOOD. Various parts of my childhood were crappy, but that stuff was om nom nom.
Look, you got a little stabbed the other day. That's bound to make anyone a mite ornery.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Teppy, how's the ear/vertigo?
The vertigo seems to be 95% gone, but the ear is still 100% non-hearing.
I should have asked my doctor for a ballpark timeline for this kind of thing, but I didn't. If I just had some idea of how long it takes a blocked/stuffed/fluid-filled middle ear to un-stuff, I wouldn't be so freaked out right now.
Steroids are making me itch and giving me mood swings BIG TIME. But at least the vertigo is under control. I'd just like to hear out of both ears sometime in the near future.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
My daughter is a cheese weirdo. She doesn't like melted cheese. She doesn't like cheddar (orange cheese she calls it) and is only so-so on jack. What does she like you ask? Gruyere, gouda, brie with the skin cut off. Oh and yeah, she likes the fancy pants, imported from England, $12 a pound cheddar too.
I don't mind so much that she has fancy pants tastes, except that it means she's always stealing my cheese.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
she's always stealing my cheese.
I think there's a book that might help you with that....

The DOW closed up over 900 points. The roller coaster continues.

I think the DOW is up so much because the markets are happy that Levi Johnston talked to the press, and that it won't be a shotgun wedding....

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That's awesome. Keep her away from the Epoisses.
That's right -- I like cheese wrapped in plastic AND fancy-pants cheese!

Now tagless for your comfort.
I am not a cheese snob--I'll eat the "processed cheese food" and fancy cheese. The kids are partial to colby and I like sharp cheddar.
I am, however, an apple snob and am pretty particular about which breeds I'll eat.
