Cheese: when you care enough to hurl the very best.

Really, it's not terrorism.
Did the politician proceed to Cut The Cheese?

Obviously another heinous act by La Nachos de Septembre.

PM: "I was assaulted with cheese. That man is an evil muenster!"
Terrorist: "Yeah, take THAT, ya limburger! Gouda Akbar!"

Oh, c'mon kids -

They said the Republican National Convention was full of Republican Big Cheese. I didn't hear of anything like this happening, though.

Do you think that the Australians throw American cheese?

What's the penalty for "assualt with a deadly cheese"?
Posted by: Writer's Cramp | September 04, 2004 at 06:23 PM
maybe it was a comment on his cheesy political stance.. or the smell of his feet

Why single out bastards expressing their discontent, cheese or otherwise? No doubt a hundred times during the same news cycle, much worse was done by children of married parents.

"Why single out bastards expressing their discontent, cheese or otherwise?"
Why not?

". . . letting rip with his bag of cheese."
...and I always thought that was a euphamism. Now I know it's a form of civil disobedience.

This story has the most wbagnfarb candidates that I can remember:
Deregulated Dairy
Lying Rodents
Use by Date
Tossing Cheese
Bag of Cheese
Tweed River
WoW.
Oh, and if those Chinese women waiting on line for the big O are as slow getting there as Frances, the researchers will get to watch the study participants' pubic hair grow, thereby fulfilling the requirements of two studies at once. Very cost-effective, if you can keep the roof on. I hope that the study participants are not similarly drenching!

Wanna turn on E.T.!
Cuz I'm a gossip freak!
And I gotta know who J-Lo!
Is marryin' this week!

I agree with Julia: Bag of Cheese wbagnfarb, especially in Wisconsin.
But what was this guy thinking? Unless he hurled one of those giant wheels of cheese how much damage did he think he was going to do? "Take that, you blackguard!"
Now if it was fruit I could understand. The site is down at the moment but we know what to do when someone attacks us with fruit, right?. (As an aside, why didn't Peri tell us about this story?)

Obviously, the protester was symbolically telling the PM of Australia just what Wisconsin thinks of their new cheese policy...specifically, their decision to begin importing cheese from Hong Kong.
This was a warning. Next time it will be much worse. We have friends in the sausage industry.

wouldn't cheeze in a can have been a more effective weapon?

Either Australia has very different ideas of security, or this guy is brilliant. Did you notice he got to present his views in full? Not just shout a slogan and then be carted off.
So either in Australia hurling the cheese is the equivalent to holding the conch, or his choice of protest actions was unique enough to puzzle authorities while he held forth.
I think we should adopt this in US Congress.
"Honorable Chairman, I object. This bill is so clearly pork riddled that even a chromosome deficient monkey could not fail to..."
*bangs gavel*
"Pardon me, estimable representative from Virginia, but Alabama clearly hurled the cheese, and has the floor. If you have comments to make, you must ask Alabama to yield the cheese."

I think jerky would have been much more effective.

Dear Stupidhead:
If you did a little REASEARCH, you would know that all cheese is in fact remnants of Hurricane Frances, which actually occured 20 years ago as a Norwegian plot during World War 1. That wind and rain you in Florida are experiencing is, if you would have been LISTENING, the clone of Albert Pujols. Mr. Barry, I DARE YOU TO PRINT THIS!

When they outlaw cheese, then only outlaws will have quesadillas.... or something like that...
Posted by: Higgy | September 07, 2004 at 05:27 AM
Questions:
If the cheese was moldy, could it be qualified as biological warfare? And if the Prime Minister was lactose intolerant, could it feasibly be considered an assassination attempt? And would Velveeta and the Cheese Chunkers bagnfarb? And is the mental image of the Tweed River pretty funny? These are indeed, some questions.
Neener.
