    Cheese Weekly – The Good and the Great of all Cheeses. 

    Dear Reader.

    I noticed in the nice post about the most excellent artist John Vivian Crowthorne, there was a picture of a mouse that very much interested me. If my acquaintance you have not made, permit me to introduce myself, I am Spoon Small-Mouse Esquire.

    Spoon!

    The aformentioned illustration reminded me of when I was reporting on location underneath the kitchen of the beautiful television set Chefess Nigella Lawson, for the fine cheese lover’s magazine, Cheese Weekly. She had a lot of scrumptious cheeses for me to sample. My favorite was a delicious Juustoleipa, a creamy Finnish cheese. Did you know it was originally made from Reindeer milk? In Finland, mothers of unmarried maidens would offer the cheese to a young suitor, and if he liked it, he would marry the daughter!

    I myself am not married. Who knows, maybe one day I shall be lucky enough to meet a suitable ladymouse… perchance to dream, who may share similar tastes to my own. I ask little, simply a love of fine cheese and quiet evenings in, reading the works of the committed humanitarian novelist Charles Dickens (which in my opinion are still very relevent to our modern society) by the fire in my humble abode, beneath a draughty old house in Highgate. But I do go on, I know you are busy Ladies and Gentlemen! Until the next time we speak, dearest reader!

    Fondest regards from under Highgate, London Town
    Spoon Small-Mouse Esq

    From Montreal, my friend Dave. You’ll usually find him in Edinburgh these days, or so I’m told. Check out his singer-songwriter style.

    Personally I think he moved to Edinburgh after we moved away deliberately so that he could avoid us – Tiger

    Watching TV on the Job? 

    You could do worse than this. Better than working.

    In case you are from space or like a guy called Tim Stewart who has never used the Internet, this is an ad for The Onion’s new TV video on the Internets

    My very good friend John Vivian lives with his lovely wife Maria in Mexico. He paints this lovely strange stuff. I’m a particular fan of the Alice in Wonderland tarot deck. His work is for sale here. He is available for commissions.

      Bravo! Bravo! It’s quality entertainment like this that will ultimately make YouTube the success that it should become. Very well done. I can’t believe I got to watch it for free.

      This is the most boring website in the world. Why do I visit every single day? Is there a premium version or something? Jeez!

    You’re a boy? 

    So we are waiting for our group to arrive outside the Scarlet Monastery, and my friend in WoW emote/whistles and emote/flirts with another player. She is a Blood Elf Huntress called Notachick.
    After he emote/blows a kiss to to her too, I had to say something to him

    “Erm, that players name is Notachick.”

    “Yeah?” he replies, emote/flexing his muscles at her, Ooh so strong!

    I tried again “Not…a…chick”

    He went very very quiet.

    Yoda Theory 

    Ever notice in Star Wars episode IV and Star Wars Episode I that Yoda says both Luke and Anakin are too old to be trained as Jedi? Ever notice how he quite happily trains the really little kids? The ones that are SHORTER than him?

      Makes sense, but he might know after all those years that the older apprentices usually exert themselves to the point of a hernia when trying to “use the force”, and no one wants a Jedi with a broken “light saber”, right? ;)

    Product Idea 

    I have a great number of ideas everyday. Most of them are for new products and why not? I work in branding and I watch TV. More importantly, I buy things from stores, and sometimes I even buy things from the Internets! Who better than me to invent new products? The answer is NO ONE. Take a look at product idea 1 and TELL ME I’M NOT.

      Perfect. I can see the 30 second TV ad now. Sexy Sexy Laydeee (SSL) in a posh-knob meeja bar leans close to Shaven-Chested Homosex Model (SCHM).

      SSL: My cunt’s got no nose.
      SCHM: How does it smell?
      SSL: Like Andi McDowell. Coz she’s worth it, innit.

    You’re Married? 

    Tigerlili and I often play World of Warcraft together. It’s an online game, just in case you are…

    my parents

    You’d think it would be a pretty uncommon thing. I suppose it probably is. You hear about people getting divorced, having to go cold turkey and all kinds of crazy 12-step shit. Anyhoo. I found this on the Internets:

    (P.S. You know you’re the luckiest WoW-playing man alive when at a dinner party with friends your wife says she wants to pull out the laptop “to check the Auction House”)

    So I (or we) am (or are) not alone.
