      Not noticing it was a duplicate of the title and giving a thumbs up to the OP comment makes me lazier still… or unobservant at the least. ;)

      Who were the other 3 ? :mrgreen:

      is that stuff even considered real cheese? or is it marked “cheese food” (which is code for nasty)

      and glo♥ - knowing your high standards and PATDS status, i’m shocked you would encourage anyone to acknowledge the existence of someone who ate that stuff ;)

      I bet all this stolen cheese was really crappy any way.

      Seriously, none of these notes (or packages) seem to be the work of a Cheese Monger. I doubt it was a 4-year old Vermont Cheddar, or a Nice Peckerino-Ramano that was taken.

      Thieving, while evil can be excused and even forgiven, the same cannot be said for bad taste in cheese. Life is too short to eat crap cheese. That’s my stand.

      But hey, I’m a foody.

      I always thought the “cheese food” label was reserved for products that you otherwise might not realize were intended to be edible. I’ve seen industrial adhesives that look more appetizing than most “cheese food.”

      Wouldn’t it be “ree” alert level? Since the other note is claiming the level is “orangg.”

    This is actually a very sophisticated personality test, disguised as a series of seemingly unrelated cheese-related notes. The one (note, that is, not cheese) we like best says volumes about the kind of person we are.

      the first one is annoying - i keep hearing it as one breathless, high pitched whine
      the second is hysterical and not in a funny way - somebody needs their meds adjusted
      the third is perfect even if the writer’s choice of cheese isn’t

      The third one is the best. Short, sweet and to the point, although I have to wonder which is worse - a person who gets bent out of shape about their missing fat free American cheese or somebody who would actually steal fat free American cheese.

    is “orange” alert level the one where campus security actually wanders around checking on things? if so, those guys are probably gonna be hungrier than usual - cheese and salami make pretty good snacks

      Morpho,

      The way it was explained to me the cheese theft terror alert scale is as follows;

      Green– No one cares, cheese was moldy anyway.

      Blue– Gorgonzola gone missing.
      sniff air for suspect, turn around and go back into campus coffee shop to finish doughnut.

      Yellow– Deli American has been lifted.
      BOLO issued, no further action taken.

      Orange– Someone stole the cheddar!
      Campus cops freak, start checking bathrooms for gastro-intestinal issues, and courtesy flushers.

      Red– Edam has been stolen with wanton abandon and shamelessness.
      Packs of co-eds are randomly stopped and strip-searched.

      I know. A couple of years ago I picked up a pair to surprise my ex on Valentine’s Day. She decided it would be romantic to watch The English Patient together. As you can imagine, it wasn’t. Even if that movie could put you in the mood, by the time it finally came to a grinding halt my strawberry banana hammock had melted and my pants were sticking to me. It wasn’t pretty. Cheese would have been better.

    Was Sarah’s mistake:

    a) Going to the fridge?

    b) Finding the cheese opened, used and left unwrapped?

    c) Failing to use all the colored markers at her disposal to write the note?

      I think the mistake was that she didn’t print up and laminate a full-color clip-art-laden sign or five.

      Dear Sarah,

      Someone ate your cheese. It’s really not that confusing. Stop being such a whiny baby.

    • #8.3   Goldie

      Actually, she didn’t say it was eaten. It was open, and left unwrapped - big diff.

      Dear Sarah,

      Here’s what happened. Your roommate, while rooting through the fridge looking for the source of a nasty odor, happened upon your moldy cheese. He opened the package to confirm his suspicions that it was, indeed, your cheese stinking up the place. After opening and unwrapping the package, he fainted from the stench and initially passed away and is no longer with us, which is why he could not answer your note. I’m sure you will look great in an orange jumper, you homicidal, cheese-wielding bitch.

      Sincerely,
      Your Roommate’s Ghost

      Actually, she did say it was used, which implies eaten (or used in a recipe and then eaten) since we’re talking about food.

    The Official Cheese Threat Alert Glossary:

    Green: Low Threat to cheese as it has mold all over it.
    Blue: Guarded… Is it blue cheese or on the way to completely disgustingly moldy cheese?
    Yellow: Elevated Threat Level indicated a heightened probability that your Swiss will be taken.
