Comedic Cheese and More Cheesy Meals

So far, I've been focusing on the culinary delectibleness of cheese. But do not be fooled. The Chi of Cheese is a part of all things...including comedy.

If Athletes get Athlete's Foot, what do Astronauts get?

Mistle Toe!

HAHAHAHAHAHA!

Nothing beats a good, cheesy joke, and that was nothing like a good, cheesy joke. But if you are looking for good, cheesy comedy, look no further than Steve Martin. That, by the way, is not an insult to that Wild and Crazy Guy. I am a HUGE Steve Martin fan. Love his stand-up, love his movies (even the serious ones), and his autobiography/memoir book, Born Standing Up: A Comic's Life.

I zipped through his book enthralled in his comedic development. It's amazing how much work Steve Martin, and I'm sure many other successful comics as well, put into developing their routine, stage presence, and the show overall. It's NOT just walking up to a microphone and telling jokes. Steve Martin developed a routine where he was a bad comedian. He didn't use punchlines, he intentionally made mistakes. He did something original and you either got it, or you didn't, and he become the most popular comic of his time...and then he walked away.

To hear Steve Martin's stand-up, just check your local music shop under comedy for A Wild and Crazy Guy, Let's Get Small, Comedy Isn't Pretty, and The Steve Martin Brothers.

If you like Steve Martin, if you're interested in how to develop a stand-up routine, or at least how one of the most successful did it, then check out this great book!

Now, to catch everyone up on the Cheesy meals:

2 Grilled Cheese Dinners (Not at once, mind you)

2 Slices of Cheese

Mayonaise

Butter/Margarine

Makes one sandwich. Grilled Cheese Sandwiches are the most sublime of Cheese meals.

Cheesy Hotdogs

Boil hotdogs.

Place on plate.

Cover with Cheese depending on how many hotdogs are being eaten.

Microwave to melt Cheese for 30 secs.

Get dipping comdiments. I use mayo and ketchup.

Michelina's Cheeseburger Macaroni

I like to cook frozen meals in the oven, and Michelina's Cheeseburger Mac says to put it in an over safe container, so I placed it on a plate. The frozen Cheese and mac looked frightening. The end result was pretty good. Not as good as fresh Hamburger Helper Cheeseburger Mac, but not bad.

Pepperoni Pizza

This was homemade. We were out of Provologne and Mozzarella, so my wife used Cheddar, and it was wonderful.

Rice-a-Roni Creamy 4-Cheese Rice

Again wonderful. I took a photo of the dish before being scooped, still simmering in its bowl. Wonderful.

Betty Crocker's Bowl Appetit 3-Cheese Rotini

I have video of me tasting this for the first time, and as stated before, it's just a matter of whether or not I will have the video after the Flip people fix the camcorder. So, comments pending.

Also...

Cherry Chocolate Dr. Pepper. It's either going to suck, or be the best thing ever! Find out tomorrow.

Steve Martin as Socrates: It was always: "Socrates, what is truth? Socrates, what is the nature of the good? Socrates, what should I order? Socrates, what are you having?" And not once did anyone ever say: "Socrates, hemlock is poison!"
