re "Let us grow mold together," said the man from the Marl borough.
"Cheshire Cheese is Britain's oldest named cheese, having it's origins in the county of Cheshire, with it's mild climate, vales and undulating hills. The marl and sandstone soil with layers of underlying rock salt contribute to the characteristic flavour of Cheshire cheese. The cheese was mentioned in the Doomsday Book and has been made in the same area for over six centuries."
You're probably smiling like a Cheshire cat now, TEd Rem.
It hurts me to say it, but I think this one is better than your coloessial effort. It's downright marlvelous! [That's why I am making a separate post out of it.]
BTW who would have thought that the flavour of the county would end up in Cheshire Cheese? Makes me want to go out and buy a pound. What does a pound cost anyway?
If I was an expatriate from Cheshire, I would want to be buried in a tub of Cheshire Cheese -- if I couldn't be buried in Cheshire itself [or right here in these archives*].
* Next to Of Troy. Just kiddin', Of Troy. I wouldn't do that to ya. :)
I even wrote the epitaph:
Here lies Of Troy in our past
At peace with Plutarch at last.
Darnit. Now I'll never get to use it. [Honest, Of Troy. This is just a gag. Truth is, I hope you and I will be at peace long before that.]
