My entire point is to see how many people we have up and viewing the board.  I want to revitalize this place.  The ghost town vibe is getting to me and i see some members quite literally collecting dust and cobwebs.  Other than BC Even!
I think I voted Bagels, but I can't be sure if I'm awake right now, so I can't tell you if I'm alive or not.  I'll leave a note for the bagel to ask me again when I wake up tomorrow afternoon.
LISTER: Look, I don't want any toast, and he doesn't want any toast.  In fact, no one around here wants any toast. Not now, not ever. NO TOAST.
TOASTER: How 'bout a muffin?
LISTER: OR muffins!  OR muffins!  We don't LIKE muffins 'round here!  We want no muffins, no toast, no teacakes, no buns, baps, baguettes or bagels, no croissants, no crumpets, no pancakes, no potato cakes and no hot-cross buns and DEFINITELY no smegging flapjacks!
TOASTER: Aah, so you're a waffle man!

You spelled 'rutabaga' incorrectly.

Some really nice stilton.

I would settle for high quality cheddar.

Preferrably not Baby Bell.

Cheese slices would demand retribution.

I see this thread has been nicely hijacked.  Well done, all.

And in keeping with the Bad Cheese Stories motif, I offer:

When I was living in Germany, we went to some nice Gasthous or somesuch, and ordered a cheese plate.  Not any cheese plate, but an 'imported' cheese plate.  I thought that would be novel as we were somewhat imported ourselves.

So the plate arrived in due time, and had some nice French, nice Swiss, and nice Belgium cheeses.  And...  *drum roll, please*, in one corner of the plate, wrapped nicely in foil, was... *ba-boom!*  VELVEETA!

omfg...

I don't even consider that a cheese.  It's more like industrial waste.

So we had a good laugh and ate everything but that.

velveeta is not cheese!!

If you read the label it is "Cheese food"

WTF is cheese food (obviously not cheese or it wouldn't need to be on the label)

Uggghhhh

and for me I'll take a nice sprinkle of crumbled Feta on my bagel (still waiting for my bagel!! I was promised a bagel!!!)

Velveeta is real cheese in the way that it is made from real milk (rather than oil such as imitation cheese is). But it is processed and tends to contain much more whey than normal cheese (which is pure curd). (Similar to Cheez Whiz, cheese spreads, and pub cheeses.) The advantage is that it melts very well, and makes a wonderful base for homemade mac 'n' cheese when supplemented with much higher quality cheeses.

Besides, it tastes better than American cheese. But any "international" cheese plate, if they really want to present an truly American cheese, would use Brick, which was created in my old home state of Wisconsin.

The reason they call it "cheese food" is that it isn't aged like cheese is, and is made from whey.
All right, I’ve been thinking, when life gives you lemons, don’t make lemonade! Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don’t want your damn lemons! What am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life’s manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons! Do you know who I am? I’m the man whose gonna burn your house down – with the lemons! I'm gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!
