From the Quotation of the day mailing list, 2005-03-20:

"In my culture, if you intend on marrying a woman you must first promise that you will provide for her. This means that you will promise to bring meat to the dinner table every day and by doing so you will impress her and her family. But if you say that in Ithaca, New York where I now reside, you'll never get married. Why? Everyone in Ithaca is a vegetarian. So instead you impress a woman by showing your ability to identify sprouts and tofu." -- musician Samite Mulondo, in the liner notes to his song Mwatu on the album Tunula Eno (Triloka/Artemis).

Happy Cheese Weasel Day, everyone!

"Who Brings the Cheese on April 3rd?
It's the Cheese Weasel!
He's not a silly bunny or a reindeer or a bird
He's the Cheese Weasel!
He's got a funny little tail and funny buck teeth
and he doesn't bring fish and he doesn't bring beef
so you'd better be good if you want to get some cheese
from the Cheese Weasel!!!!!"

you may be interested in my spanking new Cheese Weasel page (so new there's no way it'll be on google yet, since it's about 15-30m old).

http://www.sleepingcat.com/cheese/

note, the lyrics I have there are the ones Kathryn sang, not the canonical ones, 'cause I thought it would be weird to have the conflict, but really, this is how these things develop, right?

Nice page!
 
Rhetorical Question: What does it say about me that I kept forgetting about Easter except when the world reminded me it was coming, and certainly didn't do anything about it; but bolted from bed this morning to slice and wrap a piece of cheddar, then slip it into S_C's tented laptop?

The percentages of homosexuals of both sexes is pretty high there. I don't have statistics, though I'd love to know them. So the question of whether the vegetarian one is striving to impress is interested romantically in your sex at all is bigger it might be elsewhere.

Living a stone's throw away from Ithaca (Binghamton) the observation is spot on, if a little exaggerated.

But I guess I was bad this year... no cheese. :-(

I'm so allergic to dairy products, I'd have to feed cheese to the cat. :) What's the canonical response to Cheese Weasel Day if you're lactose intolerant and/or have a milk protein allergy.

Incidentally, I read an article in The Toronto Star the other day where they documented a case of someone with an anaphalactic reaction to dairy products. Given that the last few times I've gotten seriously exposed, I've been coughing and wheezing and breaking out in rashes and stuff, I'm a bit worried. Oh, well, at least I know I'm not the test case. ;)
